Nondomimant Observation Paper

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.

On this date worker visited Walker Rehabilitation Center in Carbon Hill, for the purpose of monitoring Ms. Blankenship's placement. Worker spoke with Ms. Ana Dyer and learned the family was getting assistance with housing and transportation from a local church. Ms. LaVone Yarbrough and her husband run a ministry that helps family reunite. However, Ms. Dyer is concerned about discharging Ms. Blankenship to the home with narcotic and according to Ms. Dyer, Crimson's boyfriend lives with them. Worker has not been able to conform. Ms. Dyer stated when Ms. Blankenship discharged from the NH she would need a doctor and transportation to the doctor appointments. The nursing home would only discharge Ms. Blankenship with enough for medicine for a few

Based on my discussion with Sarah’s mother and teacher I decided to do an antidotal assessment. I constructed a form to help guide and keep track of certain systematic observations of the child which were behavior during routines, socials skills/behavior with peers and with adults, language, reading/emergent literacy skills, and math skills. The following is data taken from my observation of six-year-old Sarah Thompson during a typical day in her first-grade class:

Roller skating rinks and bowling alleys are two places that people visit for recreational purposes. Although I have gone bowling a couple of times, I have never gone roller skating at a rink. Some people do go by themselves, while others take along a friend or family member(s). I visited both of these facilities in order to conduct field research and do a micro-level analysis so as to gather primary data from the natural environment about society and patterns of social behavior. While in public, there are certain rules of behavior that are generally followed, which are considered acceptable by the members of society (McLeod, 2008). Individuals who do not follow these norms may be shunned or suffer some type of ramification (McLeod, 2008).

For both the Valentine’s Day Run and Celebrate CSUB, I observed different types of sizes and fitness levels. From my perspective, my general impression of the races I assisted with had a calm atmosphere. With the first race, I was a participate. Participates were either walking, jogging or running. All individuals developed a fitness among one another by being active in general. With the second race, I was a volunteer. I observed that there were different sizes and fitness level among runners. A method I would suggest to the runners for developing a fitness schedule is to train ahead of time. With training, you can be less prone to injuries and your cardiovascular system will be more prepared.

On Sunday, November 19, 2017, I visited First Presbyterian Church in Peachtree City for their 11:00 a.m. worship service. The outside of the church is pretty. It looked like how you would expect a relatively modern church to look like. It had a bell as well. The main doors of the church were open, and there was a man standing there greeting people as they walked in. I assume this is to make the church seem welcoming. Upon entering the church, I noticed people were standing around and talking. Some people were going into what I assumed was the room where the actual service was going to be taking place. There were more men at this door as well. They were passing out little booklets for the service. I decided to also go into this room. It was quite large. The first thing I noticed was two large circular stain-glass windows. They were very

For this lab, we threw a spear dart by hand and by using an atlatl. Based on the data recorded, the atlatl improved my throwing distance. The first time I threw the spear dart, I threw it by hand. The distance recorded was 24 paces. The second and third attempt I threw the spear dart by atlatl. The distance recorded for second attempt was 30 paces. However, the distance thrown on my third attempt was twelve paces because when I threw it wiggled mid air and was not a fluent motion when I released it. Based on the data recorded for my classmates, it showed that the atlatl improved the throwing distance. For the data recorded for each classmate it showed that at least one attempt was greater in distance when throwing the spear dart with an atlatl then by hand.

Through close observation, a person who comes the site of Barista Bucks and who closely look at the employee’s actions and behaviors can see that communication is a key aspect to this group of people. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “communication is a process in which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior.” Communications is a key aspect to not just people at Barista Bucks but to us as well and the groups and people we interact with every day. However, things such as communication are different for every group and type of person which is important to look at and know that it means something meaningful, inside or outside of that group.

Today I was excited to be back into the lab site and play with the kids again. As soon as we walked in the room I felt the vibe of excitement from the kids because they ran to us and hugged us. In our lab site we have three students doing their observations hours and it can be hard to interact with all students. I decided to do the first hour in the observation hour an I think it was a bad idea. Since I was in the observation room for an hour I got tired sitting down watching through a mirror. Once I came out I was lazy and didn’t want to do anything. I had lack of energy and it was hard to focus in the kids. Last week I was more engage and energetic then this week. I was pretty bumped out that I was feeling this way because I was excited

A month before I graduated from high school I signed up for a volunteer program with the intention of changing the world. I spent my life savings on a plane ticket, and the obvious food and homestay finances. After everything was set in stone I decided to tell my parent about how I was going to Peru to volunteer. She was filled with many different emotions but overall she was happy that I was trying to give back to the world.

I did not see any loose carts or excessive litter in the newly resurfaced, great looking parking lot. The inside of the store was appealing with its well lit, clean and in good order aisles. The men’s restroom gave me the impression that someone had spent some time in making it look good. I met Don as he was stocking a shelf in a grocery aisle. This person was very friendly! He did not only lead me to a product, but he had me smiling and happy as we talked. I did pass several other employees in the aisles. Each one had a smile with a personal greeting for me. All the departments had a friendly employee in them. The departments were all well stocked and products were easy to see. Cory in the Deli/Hot Bar was very helpful. He handled my questions

Our service learning project, was to conduct surveys for student athletes. The surveys were about the athletes and their tie to the community. Our goal was to get at least 200 surveys completed. Besides getting the surveys completed we also had to get their school Z numbers are proof.

How might better utilizing our school level counselors and the eEWS Data System, positively influence the improvement of student academics, behavior and attendance at JCHS? The most effective schools will provide opportunities for all struggling students within their school to achieve success. Many students are often left to fall through the cracks. Progress monitoring can be done using a variety of methods. A number of progress monitoring measures have been reviewed by the National Center on Response to Intervention and the National Center for Student Progress Monitoring and vary considerably in reliability, validity, and other key progress monitoring standards (Hughes, C., & Dexter, D., 2011). In most schools, the student athletes are

I was surprising to see a variety of organizations and clubs. I think over 50 organizations set up the stands to talk about their organizations. Despite hot weather, there were a lot of students out on Greene Street. People were handing out the posters, stickers, and sweet treats. The stands were decorated with club banners and information boards to attract new members. Each booth turned on different music. The club members were busy interacting with the students. They helped students to discover different choices for getting involved on the campus. There were also some performers danced on the street. The fair give the students a picture of what to expect around the campus and what the clubs have to offer. I didn’t visit all the stands since
