For the deliberative dialogue assignment and presentation, I believe my group and I went through the Phase Theory of Group Development while working on this project. Before being assigned the project, the five of us, Charisse, Bryce, Abby, Chris, and I, were put together into a group. In class, we got together and decided which topic we wanted to research about. We shared our personal thoughts and experiences in order to have an understanding of each other’s viewpoints. This would be considered the first phase orientation, having a grasp of everyone’s perception in order to reach an agreement of the task. At first, it was difficult for us to write our position in the form of a formal letter. We all had the same goal in mind but didn’t have the steps leading to it. When we had planned to meet outside of class, there wasn’t much discussion or debate regarding our topic due to a collective agreement. Charisse and I attempted to push our group into the second phase of conflict by bringing up new ideas to challenge our existing points. This enabled us to further exchange our thoughts in order to find an effective solution. Our topic affected Chris and I the most, but I attempted to make it relatable to everyone else in the group. Charisse questioned how we should deliver the presentation during class by dividing our topics into three points with an introduction and conclusion. This lead to the third phase, emergence. Through discussion, we were able to uncover details and
The Sierra Academy serves student with learning disabilities. They have variety of programs which include speech therapy, occupational therapy, small class sizes, counselling services, small group instruction/specialized programming. I was privileged to observe and interview Maria Gonzalez’s class for six hours. I had a good experience with the class and felt that I should share my story. Eighty percent of the class needs where mild to moderate. Although, I saw a couple of those who could function pretty well on their own with little or no supervision.
During this group session, the patients were asked to identify common relapse triggers and verbalize ways in which they can avoid their triggers. The patients were provided with a handout on triggers and educated on alternative methods to avoid their triggers.The patient was oriented x 3.

The patient identified his triggers as his relationship with his family members. Throughout the session, the patient
As part of the two person executive secretariat team at Embassy Baghdad, I helped support our primary Mission Iraq goals: protecting America’s security by countering violence and instability, and renewing America’s competitive economic advantage through bilateral relationships and economic reform. Our team not only directly supported the Ambassador’s and the Deputy Chief of Mission's (DCM) engagement with the highest-level Iraqi interlocutors, but also supported working level meetings and reporting from all sections at Post, including USAID and the Departments of Defense, Treasury, and Justice. In the six months since my arrival, our team has processed more than 1,000 papers. Our work, almost always completed on the day of receipt, includes editing for grammar and content, checking and securing clearances, and drafting supplementary
The group five project, ‘Solar Energy Pamphlet,’ is progressing as expected. As I am sure you remember Micheal, Ben, Teresa, and I were assigned a group project to repurpose one of our projects from unit two. We chose to use Michael’s project on solar energy and create a pamphlet that will provide information to individuals and business involved in building construction and remodeling.
Thursday 21st of April, my clinical group met at Memorial Hospital for our Mental Health clinical. The Pavilion program follows a schedule which I find to be very important for the people here as it helps them get back into a routine. I’d like to talk about the recreation group which was one of the many groups we attended during our short visit.
My reflection paper will address all the weakness I identified in the beginning of the class and how the exercises, specifically participating in and leading a live group has turned some of those weakness into strengths. In doing so I have correlated all the skills that was learned in the lectures and readings with real life experiences.
It was very interesting to work together in my group. I learnt more deeply about the African American issue. All members in my group was very supportive. We collaborate with each other in a timely manner. The biggest fear I had working in a group environment was the conflict. There was no conflict because we all shared our thoughts and problems with each other. That makes this group experience great.
What occupation did your group session address? What was the goal for group session? The occupation addressed was meal prep/setup and leisure participation. The goal was to utilize their long term memory and motivate them to recall positive, emotional memories.
In the current scenario, we are now a focused group of 60 members being lead by a very effective and efficient team leader. Our team leader is more of an authoritative team leader who gives an equal dose of control with effective and efficient interpersonal warmth. The members are always very attentive towards their team leader. They follow the instructions with finesse and complete the work within stipulated time and with utmost efficiency. It may be said that together the team works as a team when it comes to the execution of assigned work done.
That is very interesting information regarding AMA’s stance on prior authorizations. My health plan recently implemented that a prior authorization is required, we were one of last health plans to put this in place. Yes, one reason is to reduce over utilization of services, it is also performed for the safety of our members (the patient), and also to help reduce the risk of the member or patient being stuck with a large bill due to the fact that the service may be investigative or not medically necessary. I am sure this process is burdensome to physician’s office and I am sure they have had to work out a new process to reduce any bottlenecks and ineffeciencies. I found reading the AMA prior authorization toolkit interesting, they
It was three weeks before the end of school when my freshmen English teacher finally returned after her husband’s death. I felt horrible for her and figured she forgot about the last group project she assigned. She did not in fact she assigned another group project due next week so that makes it two group projects due next week aka review week. Review week the week we all get study guides and start panicking. So I was a little anxious que anxiety attacks every other period to make matter worse my group consisting of Gabe Zac K Dalton and Maggie wasn’t even close to being done. In this stressful group project, I was treated like I was a bimbo despite this I did the best work I could because if someone treats me like I’m incompetent I’m going
The executive panel discussion focused on three main themes including resilience, re-invention and reality checks based on the career journeys of 7 panelists. A number of key points arose during the discussion including remaining resilient, the significance of networks and from plan to reality. Particularly, it was consistently agreed that it is important to remain resilient throughout your journey because opportunities will come to those who are prepared. For example, Richard mentioned, life can be a roller coaster but it is crucial to stick to your principle and success will come to you. Or as Danielle mentioned, there is always something to be gained from every single experience no matter how good or bad it is. Additionally, network is one
For two weeks I had been researching for a group project. We were studying the different organ systems in the body and my group had been assigned the Circulatory system. I remember thinking that this project was the most ridiculous assignment. What could I possibly learn about the heart that I did not already know? By the end of this project I found that the answer to that question would take a lifetime to answer. That was something I was determined to do. This group project had given me excitement, something I had never experienced in a classroom.
Professional organizations and discussion groups, such as LM_NET, are invaluable resources for the media specialist. Both provide librarians with a vital link to a larger professional community. I have been amazed by the diverse topics covered on LM_NET.
Testing schedules, small group arrangements, and device logistics would definitely be one of the many managerial-type tasks I would need to consider as a building leader. Even though getting started and coordinating a schedule that balance needs and wants were a little overwhelming at first, I was motivated by the challenge and felt that I was able to successfully accommodate input from the staff through the quick survey. One of the biggest accommodations we have been able to offer through this new schedule is a small group setting for children who receive an intervention service (special education or title). As a title teacher, I have proctored several of these small group sessions, in conversation with students they have told me they love
