Compulsory Observation

In this paper, I discuss my experience with observing a group counseling session with the purpose of evaluating it in terms of how it is set up, how it is run, interventions used, culturally sensitivity, and the contribution toward my professional development as a social worker. The group setting plays a critical role in social work outside of the individual session and can be largely beneficial for clients in the forms of therapy, counseling, self-help, and support. By attempting to better understand group interventions, I will learn how to apply this strategy in aiding clients for whom this method is appropriate by increasing their social supports.

With the observations, the goal was to become aware of what is in store for the future both within school and after graduation. First person observed was Sharon, a dental hygiene student at PIMA, in her 5th semester. To begin her visit, Sharon ensured she had all the necessary paperwork and materials needed for the visit prior to procuring her patient from the lobby. After sitting the patient down, she reviewed his medical history with him and took his vitals, she then turned her light on for an instructor. Once the instructor arrived, she presented the patient and had the instructor sign off on the paperwork. After the instructor left, Sharon quickly began to continue with an oral cancer screening (OCS), noting any findings. From there, she took periodontal probing depths (PPD), gingival margin to cementoenamel junction readings (GM to CEJ), clinical attachment loss (CAL), and periodontal description. Immediately after writing all her notes she turned her light on for an instructor to come evaluate her findings, which is called check in. When the instructor came into the room he sat down and had Sharon read off her findings to him while he did his own exam on the patient. From there, Dr. Burnett came to evaluate the patient. Unfortunately, the 3 hours had pasted by the time all this was done, so the patient was scheduled at a later date for his prophy.

Charlie builds the relationships with his educators in the Nursery room. He likes to join his educators and friends in the activities that he is interested in. He sits side-by-side his friends, enjoys the good times together such as singing a song, moving along the music and looking at the animal pictures and naming them. He especially loves to look at the pictures in the books and listen to his educator names each picture. He often pulls on his educator's arm and leads her to the book corner to read a book to him as to initiate and communicate his needs to his trusted educator (EYLF 1.1). He confidently makes his own choices in play and exploration of his surroundings. He is often seen exploring something in one corner of the room and loves to share his discoveries with his educator by getting her attention and pointing to what he finds, such as new toys or books in the corner, bird and airplane in the sky.

Social Work is a complex and very diverse field with many options to work in. Many social workers find themselves going to court to advocate for their clients. Others may consider working with the court directly. As an observer of a court it is important to notice the individuals involved, the accessibility of the court, the parties involved, and personal reflections that one perceives.

This paper has aimed to evaluate the course of events that when working in rotation can facilitate effective teaching and learning. It has highlighted the planning, teaching, evaluating and assessment cycle, which is ever revolving helping practitioners to plan, evaluate and assess their pedagogic practice. It has underlined the importance of planning and assessing in teaching practice. It has considered concrete strategies to use during this cycle and studied these events when critically analysing current assessment theory. Through theory and practical evidence it has attempted to show that levelling and grading has to be fair and accurate to enable each and every pupil to receive the education that they deserve. Throughout this paper it has

Mila did very well using her spoon to eat the fruit for breakfast. When it comes to eating with a spoon she slowly picks it up with her right hand, but sometimes waist it. After eating breakfast, Mila washed her hands and played with the toy baby’s. As I watched her I noticed that she sings and rocks the baby to sleep. She shows a lot of love to the toy baby by hugging it, squeezing and feeding it. When Mila wants something she gets my attention by smiling and pointing her finger. Today I had a ball in the dramatic play area rolling it back and forth to Pierson and Annabel. While playing Mila and Maddie joined in by sitting beside on another. We each rolled it back and forth to one another. As we played, Ms. Myrna changed everyone’s diaper

When it came to the nondomimant condition, the experimenter asked subjects to hold the pen with the hand that they would not normally use for writing. The experiment consisted of four different parts that were printed on separate sheets of paper and presented to subjects in a single booklet. The first task was a practice task and involved drawing a straight line between two points. The second task involved drawing a line between 10 ordered digits printed randomly around the page. Subjects were then told to indicate on this scale how difficult it was for them to perform the digit connection task. The participants were asked to mark the scale holding the pen as they had while performing the task. The difficulty rating was included because it

CMS has differential payment for inpatient and observation status patient services (Engoren. et., 2016). Observation status is covered under Medicare Part B, which is an optional coverage for beneficiaries and they are usually responsible for the co-payments, which is 20 percent of the Medicare payment for out payment services for such items as labs, x-rays and any medications they usually take at home. The beneficiary will also have to pay their yearly deductible for their Part B. The patient will receive a bill for non-covered services, including any required co-pay or deductibles. While patients are in observation, they could be charged co-payments for individual services they receive. Patients who do not have part B Medicare may incur

Culture lives within every human on earth. Societies and countries thrive off of diverse cultural and different backgrounds, working together to survive in a community. The United States is privileged to be a home that welcomes diversity and different cultures. However, with different social norms sometimes two worlds can collide, creating bigotry or unjust assumptions due to a lack of cultural competence. Education systems need to be aware and appropriately train teachers to be open minded and understanding of all ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures.

One of the many reasons I think The Watcher is an excellent addition to a classroom collection is the versatile ways in which it could be incorporated into a lesson. Topics covered in the book touch on why we study chimpanzees, habitats, endangered species, and animal advocacy, all of which would be great subjects for study. In incorporating this into a lesson plan, however, personally I would choose to use this book during a lesson on endangered species. An important concept we see presented in Janes story is that she immersed herself into the chimpanzee's natural habitat without interfering or destroying their home. Her actions are an important lesson in conservation and in addition to this book, the students could read additional stories

During my government observation project, I went for a ride-along with the Alameda Police Department (as permitted by you) and the Dry Creek Joint Elementary Board Meeting. Through the ride-along with the Alameda Police, I was able to watch Officer Woulfe assist the community in multiple different ways. First we responded to a dine and dash call at a local restaurant. We arrived late to the scene so there was no resolution. Officer Woulfe informed me that we would be going back to the station to deal with a hit and run. At first I got worried that I would only see a lot of paperwork, but there was a detour to pick up a regular meth user that had warrants out for his arrest. I got to see an arrest and the booking process. We later responded to a domestic violence report and were even flagged down on the streets by a family looking for their suicidal father. I noticed that there were many codes and procedures to a police officer’s job. They also have to be prepared to deal with an array of situations. Officer Woulfe also told me that the way an officer treats/ talks to people on the job, the more compliant people will be. I learned that police officers have a lot more responsibility than most people might realize. We did help the community and bring people to

I work in a call center, and we decided to do a food drive. The organization we donated is called Matthew’s Crossing Food Bank. This particular organization distributes food to people in need from Phoenix east valley. When I presented the idea to my team about donating, they were not enthusiastic about it. I tried to get them engaged about donating. One of my agents is from Lebanon, which is very close to Syria. He had just came back from vacations while we were doing the food drive. He became very excited about the idea of donating, and shared his experience of volunteering in the middle east. He described how difficult it was for people to look at their kids and know they could not feed them for the day. For the next couple of days, people
