Group Reflection Paper

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 reported that feelings of depression and being bored has caused him in the past to relapse. He shared that he is ready to be clean and is aware of his triggers. He further shared that he goals are to engage in outside activities that can help occupy his timeThe patient was oriented x 3. He actively participated in the group discussion. The patient identified his triggers as his relationship with his family members. Throughout the session, the patient

What would you do if one of you team members isn’t finished with something and you don’t get a team point?

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.

There was a tremendous improvement from my first group leader discussion and my second one. I can evidently contribute some of this success to my topic, gender and sexuality, as most people felt it was a much more digestible topic than 21st-century capitalism. I have also discovered from another classmates discussion people actually enjoy sharing their opinions on deeply controversial current events, such as the transgender bathroom issue and third-wave feminism. Whereas I first avoided anything excessively controversial since I did not come to class to see people get offended and emotional. It was often during the controversial discussions, people had great critical discussions of gender and sexuality today. In my second attempt at this assignment,

I attended the University of Pittsburgh Student Government Board (SGB) meeting on November 10, 2015, to see first-hand how task oriented groups function. There was a presentation after the SGB meeting about the University Strategic Plan, soliciting suggestions for the implementation phase of the plan.

I felt that my group (Cubs) presentation wasn’t as bad overall, however, there are certain areas where we all could of improved on and benefitted from this greatly. For instance, doing a PowerPoint presentation we could held a clicker. Having a clicker, looks professional because you don’t have to worry about reading your script and having someone stand by the computer in order to click to the next slide. Secondly, I feel that I could have been louder when I was presenting. I sort of can admit to my flaws without dwelling on it as much. When I speak for long periods of time, I tend to get dry mouthed. Meaning my words can come out a bit slurred and forcing the audience to not understand my message. I try to talk slow when I have to present

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.

I personally believe that I work well in-group situations; I have had to work within a group on multiple occasions and have always found it to be a fun and rewarding experience. At school I often have to work in a group environment to complete assignments, I enjoy working this way and I am able to accept my other teammates option and input surrounding the assignment. Another situation that requires teamwork is at my current job, whist working I have to cooperated with my colleagues and accept that there way of competing a task may not be how I would. Despite the above examples I believe that everyone experiences group work on a day to day basis, this could be eating lunch with friends, helping the family clean up after dinner or working within

By reading all of our group summaries, I was able to identified the important point of all the chapters read. For example, all the chapters mentioned the implementation of a writing workshop in a classroom. Chapter twenty-one explained the challenges that teachers face when they try to run a writing workshop and follow a curriculum. However, the author explains that following a curriculum does not have to get in the way of the writing workshop. The goal of the writing workshop is to establish an ongoing workshop where students will initiate, pursue, and help each other. Another point that was mentioned in this chapter was that it is more important to have variety on writing assignment, than focusing more on spelling and grammar.

Working in a group is a challenging experience in itself, all things considered, once you add an online variable to the group work where your group companions are completely in a virtual reality space, gives it a radical new magnitude of issues that can arise. In my specific team we had four students from various parts of Australia with assorted backgrounds, convictions and characteristics. Our objective was to amalgamate our disparities and knowledge to create a Prezi presentation that seems to have been composed by the one individual. This implies all the different subjects, in which we all picked one to cover, are expected to look like only one of us composed the presentation. The wording must be comparative and the style must be comparative.

I participated in two groups while attending college. I attended one about psychology and the mind while I was in Community College. In this group was more about helping out the community. In this group we reached out to different agencies and volunteered and helped out in any way that we could. One of our major projects was getting together with the culinary arts at the community college and the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence (CASFV). This project consisted of having the culinary arts prepare a thanksgiving meal to these women and children that were not going to be having a thanksgiving dinner. This organization was very positive and always participating in events and project to help out others. When belonging to this group

For our eighth group session, we celebrated the ending of our group counseling session at Sushi King in Norfolk, Virginia. There were a few moments that left me in awe about myself, but two moments stood out the most for me. The first moment was during the fifth group session when were asked to identify things that stressed us and may be a barrier to accomplishing our goals. During this class session, I realized the bottled up resentment I still have towards my Father that could hinder me from growing inside. Realizing this issue I had helped me realize that I can’t change the past, but I can grow from it; which ultimately gave me the courage to set up a meeting with my Father and siblings to hash out our issues. The second moment that was
