Paper Overview

Your Theory Integration Paper is intended to illustrate the use of theory in practice.

Your paper should be approximately 2-3 pages, with an absolute maximum of 4 pages. This paper is worth 25% of your course grade, so treat it as such. Parsimony is expected, yet the depth of your commentary is critically important. This is not an easy task. Please spend ample time in the development of this paper.

Your paper should:

1. Provide a brief introduction. Be creative and be sure to capture your audience by making the introduction compelling.
2. Describe a case from your personal experience. The case may be clinical, leadership, teaching, or another applicable real-life scenario. Do not include names or identifying information.
3. Briefly describe a theory/model that fits your case. Do not create a paper describing a theory or model! Your paper is intended to tell us about how the model works through a case example.
4. Discuss the concepts from the model and how they integrate into the case as it unfolds. Describe the relationships among the model concepts. This is where the bulk of your paper should be focused. Be sure to be clear and logical in the sequencing of your message.
5. Briefly summarize the paper. Give special attention to the applicability of the model to practice.
