The Georgia Department of Human Services [DHS] has many divisions that are to assist the people of the State of Georgia with different necessities they may need. For instance, there is the Division of Aging Services that caters specifically to the elderly and to report elder abuse. With a total of three divisions and eight offices, this specific department also houses the Division of Family and Children Services [DFCS]. These representatives and workers do what they can by all means necessary when it comes to the care and welfare of children of the state. However, there are times when they fall short of their jobs

Of these four departments I work under the department of Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS). FSS administers the

While observing during my fieldwork assignment I had the pleasure of speaking candidly with quite a few teachers. It was Chanel Thompson’s conversation that stood out to me most. It seems we are like minded in many ways. Currently she works at Francis Elementary, a school that is currently plagued with the daunting tasks of trying to enrich not only the academic careers but the lives of its students. Francis Elementary is one of the many Houston schools that services children that fall in the bottom of the lower middle class, in terms of socio economic statuses. Like me, Chanel stated that she picked this profession because of the impact she would have on various children that she would teach from year to year. After teaching for just four short years she still feels the same way. She went on to say “Teaching will be the hardest yet most rewarding job you will ever have.”

My field placement was at Beverly Garden Elementary, where I worked with various students in regards to their academics. Most of my work consisted of both group and individual work. Since I worked in a school environment, the concept was to help the students with skills rather than diagnostic assessment and treatment. My supervisor made it clear that I did not need to diagnosis any of the students. My main focus was to help the students with whatever issues that affected their academic, such as behavioral problems or life events. Out of the many students, who I saw, there was one which stood out the most to me. The student had various problems with behaviors and life events.

The Division referred the family to Family Preservation Service (FPS) which works with the family in the home. Due to Ms. Richardson’s being incarcerated in early October this service was terminated. The worker re-referred Ms. Richardson to FPS for services. The worker was able to have the previous FPS worker assigned to this case again. However Ms. Richardson did not make herself available to the worker and FPS terminated services again. Although this services in no longer involved, a referral was made to preform care and the family is receiving counseling services through Family Intervention Services.

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is an agency for the community. It is responsible for the protection, investigative and treatment services of the citizens. Thus, a DFPS worker must fulfill multiple services and play different roles when responding to different situations working with Family and Protective Services.

I conducted my field experience through the Forsyth County School System in conjunction with the Forsyth County Parks and Recreational Department. The students or “campers” as we like to call them are comprised of two groups. One group is special needs students ranging from ages six to twelve. The second group ranges from ages thirteen to twenty and are also special needs students. The younger campers attend classes from 8:30-1:00 and the older students attend from 1:30-5:00.

I spent the past six weeks at Kensington Elementary School. The experience has been amazing, but also a huge eye opener. There were many negatives and positives sides to wanting to be a teacher. From the beginning to the end, I learned what it takes to be a teacher.

This field experience was a very interesting project for me. I received many opportunities for learning and to gain experience as an educator and for my future as an administrator. Activities that were included: interviewing administrators, interviewing teachers, researching and reviewing two comprehensive strategic plans, evaluating a comprehensive plan using the supplied rubric, researching past school board agendas and minutes and comparing them to the comprehensive strategic plan. Throughout this field experience I was able to develop a new understanding of the process involved in developing a comprehensive plan at both the principal and the teacher level. The field experience I feel was meaningful for an introductory

My field placement experience means so much to me. The placement started, theoretically with the interview. I was nervous about it, as it was the most important interview I have had to go to. I ensured that I dressed or the occasion, in smart attire and prepared some insight into the agency Acces Employment. The interview went really well, Harpreet Shah, one of the agency staff, gave me a short presentation and the interview was more informal than I expected. My first experience of an interview for a field placement was nerve racking, but from it I learnt a few things such as preparation is key, to talk in a calm, polite but confident manner and to ensure that you absorb all the information that the interviewee is giving thus allowing you to

I’m glad to read that you have been able to find another supervisor for field placement. I can empathize with your anxieties around the stability of your placement as my own placement has not yet been firmly secured. I hope all goes well with the transition. I think it’s a good sign that the two of you are meeting to discuss and plan the transition to a new supervisor. I look forward to reading updates on the status of your field placement.

When you hear the word home what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it the street you live on, your family, or the crisp warm smell you get as soon as you take your first step into your house. Everyone knows that home sent that gives you a feeling of relief after a long stress full day. Most people know the saying home is where the heart is. In this case my heart is the field house floor with 9 big blue mats right in the middle of it. As soon as you step foot into the gym you have your game face on and are ready to push your self past your limits and strive for more and better success. When you walk into the field house the first thing you notice is the rubbery smell coming from the ground mixed with all kinds of cleaning supplies as the forceful wind pushes through the doors when you take your first step into
