CASE STUDY: KAYLIE A. Kaylie is in the third grade at Newport Intermediate School. She is nine years old. She has been labeled with a mild mental disability. Through observation, it is apparent that Kaylie is shy and exhibits introverted behaviors with both her peers and her teachers. When working in a group, Kaylie will not participate without explicit prompts and cues from her teachers. She rarely speaks to her peers. She does have one friend in her class, Hailey, who she will speak to and play with during recess time. When she is presented with a question, Kaylie appears to think about the question being asked, but fails to respond during nearly 90% of observed instances. Although Kaylie is reserved, her facial expressions and general demeanor is kind and compassionate of others. She is never aggressive to her peers and exhibits a good sense of manners (saying please, thank you, I’m sorry, etc.) After speaking with Kaylie’s mother, Shannah, she has stated that Kaylie has low self-esteem. Shannah has stated that Kaylie struggles with thinking others are judging her. This negative self-esteem directly influences her participation in classroom activities. Overall Kaylie’s academic skills are within the low range. After being administered the Kaufmann Test of Educational Achievement 3, it was noted that when compared to similar aged peers Kaylie’s written expression, spelling, reading comprehension, fluency and decoding skills are well below the average range. In the

Grace’s school performance suggests that she is capable of learning. This is confirmed by her scores on Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, and Processing Speed scores from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition.

The main purpose or mission of the Greenhill Community Center was to provide human service programs for learning, growth, and enrichment throughout life within an intergenerational setting. The mission seems to fill the need in the demographical setting of the location. The center is located in one of the poorest cities on the East Coast. In the textbook it states a mission as being “the reason an organization exists, and it must be the starting point for its planning.” (Worth, p.172) The mission of the center is very sound, but in the process of hiring a new director, I think the mission focus was lost. I saw a couple of incidences of “mission creep“ in the reading. (Worth, p.173) One being the focus the trustees put on not

As I felt depressed, I walk into the cafeteria passing crowds of wild people and find a seat in the corner of the lunchroom, where barely anyone sits. Why is it me who is always pointed out at the wrong mistakes I do, when there are other people who make mistakes, too? I question myself. I’m the only one who always gets pointed out and bullied. As I wonder about the situation to myself, tears run down my cheek, and suddenly, a group of kids come up to me. The bullies.
No mention is made of Janelle’s education level and nothing is said about her having a job. However, because of the cycle of abuse and lack of formal education especially in the case of Janelle’s daughter it can be seen that this family at risk for poverty. Janelle at only 42 years is a single parent caring for her grandson and she probably still provides financial assistance to her daughter Danielle especially since she feels guilty for kicking her out at a young age. This put an excessive strain on Janelle’s resources. Also, even though Danielle is receiving counselling and training for her addiction the family still has an additional expense of dealing with her son’s severe post-traumatic stress disorder. The spin-off of one problem leads
She is not bonding with other children and she has inconsistent displays of behavior, reverting from “excessive shyness to overtly affectionate,” (Broderick, 2015, p. 37). Feelings of isolation and an inconsistent household may have caused her a delay in stage development according to Piaget. At 9 years old, in relation to Piaget’s Stage Theory, Anna should be able to “discover logical relationships between/among pieces of information. Their logical thinking is best about information that can be demonstrated in the concrete world,” (p. 13). However, Anna is having a difficult time reading social cues from her peers in forming meaningful social interactions. One environmental change I would propose for Anna is for the teacher to assign “classroom buddies.” This was a technique I used when I taught and it worked extremely well. By pairing up children who are having social issues with children who flourish socially, many of the subtle cues can be learned through
