Part 1: Conduct a Critical Analysis The purpose of this section is review and consider multiple sources related to the organization or educational setting you will investigate in order to provide a detailed description of the organization and context and identify potential gaps or areas for growth. While you may have already identified potential problems in your selected organization, it is important to consider, review, analyze, and reflect on multiple sources of information, including qualitative and quantitative data, to effectively define the problem. In addition, an understanding of the organizational context and setting within which the problem is situated and the factors that are pertinent to the problem situation at the site should be thoroughly investigated to provide sufficient evidence that a problem does exist in your selected organization. Please note that all assignments have indicated page lengths and number of scholarly resources; however, this does not mean this is the total minimal amount. All students must make sure the entire content is covered at the doctoral level with the number of scholarly sources to validate and synthesize the content. In addition, to proceed from assignment to assignment while making progress, all students must be in good academic standing. Each faculty will assign a complete/incomplete status once the student returns each Part with the corrections given by the faculty. A. of the Setting (Complete/Incomplete) For this section, you will investigate and consider sources related and available to the organization or educational setting that you have selected to investigate. The sources you select should provide sufficient information to provide a clear description of your selected organization or educational setting. The final product for this part will be a narrative at least six pages in length that at a minimum address each of the following components: (a) researcher’s role; (b) background and history; (c) vision, mission, and value statements; and (d) reputation and sustainability. In addition to these components, you may include other relevant data or sections that will ensure a description of the setting for your SRP is rich and clear. Your narrative should use the language of systems thinking as appropriate and include statements supported with facts, information, and evidence. Any sources utilized in this part should be cited using APA format and compiled as appendices.
