Participant Assessment And Intervention Plan

The ecological system theory developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner views the child development as being in a system of connections affected by many levels of the surrounding environment (Berk,2006). This approach discussed by Berk (2006) starts with the inner most layer of this system being the microsystem. This system is made up of all the settings that personally interact and influence the child. Explained from Laser and Nicotera 2011) the immediate influences from the microsystem for an infant starts with the home and the interactions the child has with their parents or caregiver. This level in the system helps the child form social relationships that later in their life will take part in activities outside of the home. This type of involvement builds on the child’s physical skills (playing at the park, or out on recess) and cognitive abilities (involvement with preschool, schools and daycare). For Walter, many of

Response to Intervention (RTI) is an in school service program designed to guarantee that all students are getting a high quality education. Before students are referred for special education services, it is essential that they receive effective teaching designed to meet their own learning requirements. All students in public schools are required to be included in the RTI program.

Family ecology theory looks at how families are influenced by, and subsequently influence their environment. In their text, The Marriage and Family Experience: Intimate Relationships in a Changing Society, Bryan Strong and Theodore Cohen (2014) list four levels to the environment to which individuals adapt: the microsystem, which contains the most immediate influences with which individuals have frequent contact, e.g. families, peers, schools, etc.; the mesosystem, which consists of the interconnections between microsystems, i.e. school, work, and home experiences; the

I believe this is the best fit because it consists of four levels of systemic social context that can have an impact in an individual behavior. Macrosystem is composed of broad cultural values and belief systems that may influence their choices. The exosystem is composed of groups and institutions such as school, work peers, and church that connects the family to larger environment. Microsystem is the family unit itself. Finally, ontogenetic factors refer to an individual personal development. As we read in the beginning of the semester violence can be learned by watching a family member (Microsystem) do it, in the environment (exosystem), and religion (exosystem). It also support Barak main argument on how violence should be looked as a pathway because is something that happens throughout someone life that motivates an individual to be violent. The ecological perspective is in line with the systems theory focus on the complex and interrelated network of systems that influence behavior, including violent

During web based instructional design (WBID) and development, formative evaluation will occur from school experts including the schools technology manager, assistant principal of curriculum, and the business department chair. They will review the materials presented in the WBI (web based instruction) elements for design, content, graphics, structure, message, and technical specifications. Formative of the final WBI prototype will take place as a small group of students (one section) field test the WBI over a term. Test and assignment scores, student participation, surveys, and discussions with students will assist with determining the relative successes and failures of the program as well as areas that need improvement.

Intervention Central is a free online resource for teachers and school districts to use for the implementation of intervention in or outside of the classroom while following the Common Core State Standards. Jim Wright, a psychologist and school administrator out of New York, created Intervention Central in hopes that the website would help offer high quality RTI in even the lowest budgeted schools. The website offers a wide variety of tools for teachers to use for academic and behavioral interventions as well as assessments and informative articles. Intervention Central also offers training videos and webinars on many different topics. The site breaks the intervention process activities down by subject and subject areas.

The main idea is to explore whether the students in the research sample show indication of internalized oppression and if so, attempt to explore the possible relationships or implications that it has on their academic performance. Moreover, if students do not show an indication of internalized oppression they will instead be showing an indication of the sociological imagination. Students will be asked questions that intend to reveal this information. For example, the question, “What do you think has contributed (positively, negatively, or both) to your current academic performance?” Answers that will indicate internalized oppression will include an emphasis on their individual effort. For example, if the student wasn’t doing well academically, and contributed this to solely themselves for not doing homework or studying enough, and conversely, if the student was doing well academically and contributed their success to their hard work and studying, both cases would show no implication for other larger structures. Both of these responses would be coded as internalized oppression. A response that shows the sociological imagination could be a student who was doing well academically and explained that what contributed to their performance included: a tutoring program, extracurricular activities, and being placed in gifted classes. This student did not attribute individual action to their academic performance. A problem does arise of course when a student may mention both individual effort and other inklings of larger structures. However, with other similar questions, the most prevalent answer will be considered. The reliability of the student’s answers are also a possible issue. Some students may not feel comfortable relaying their current academic performance or personal issues such as balancing a job and school. Overall, I think the many testaments from other

On Chapter 2, The Developmental, Ecological-Systems Frameworks Haight and Taylor presented “the five levels of social context critical to human development: the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and macrochronological system” (Haight and Taylor, 2016, p. 32). I think that as future social workers we have to consider people in the environment and the presentation of these five levels of social context play an important

I am choosing to write summative projective-wide evaluation plan; which looks at the short-term to long-term outcomes of an intervention on the target group. This evaluations will look at information such as community needs, activities and or services, desired results, indicators, method of measurement, type of instrument, minimum level of success, steps, etc. The evaluation will analyse the process and outcome of the program. The evaluation will also discuss the goals and how they are measured.What are the measurement tools you would use? I chose to evaluate the Peace Domestic Violence Agency which is located in the Portland metropolitan area working with families affected by domestic abuse.

The case study chosen is about Sean which comes from chapter 7 in the Crisis Intervention Case Book. Sean is a 19 year old sophomore who is currently on disciplinary probation for getting in a fight during freshman year and breaking the other students jaw. Sean admits to drinking and also smoking marijuana since high school and occasionally on campus. Currently Sean was brought to the emergency room by a friend after passing out on the lawn at a beer party. His friend had seen that Sean vomited all over himself and would not wake up. His friend then called 911 and an ambulance came. At the emergency room Sean’s stomach was pumped and a blood

Using systems theory, we were able to see how the micro, mezzo, and macro systems interacted in Manuel’s life, and whether or not these interactions were positive or negative. It also became evident that changes in one system can impact changes in another system. Using the life course perspective, we see that Manuel’s age, transitions through the life course, life events such as marriage, and human agency impacted his social, physical, mental and emotional well being, as well as his life trajectory. Conclusively, analyzing the risk and protective factors present in Manuel’s life revealed that even in dark times, Manuel was

The exosystem is showing how a person is affected externally within the environment. (Hutchison, 2016) Being born into a small community it seemed that anything that happened within the town affected everyone in a variety of ways. For instance, during my junior year of high school a girl that was a senior, attending my high school, died in an ATV accident. It was a month before graduation and even until the ceremony, it seemed as if the entire town had been gloomy during her mourning period because she was highly involved within the community and very popular. A perspective that is compatible with this system is the social constructionist perspective, that focuses on how people construct a meaning, a sense of self, and a social world through

In ecological theory, these systems are nested with the child at the core, embedded within his/her immediate family environment. The system with the closest proximity to the child is the microsystem; this includes the child and family, peers, neighborhood and school. A critical impact on development occurs within the immediate environment of the child due to proximal

Figure 1 illustrates the steps of meta-analysis; this method indicates that it needs a range of skills and a multi-disciplinary team which is a basic activity in meta-analysis.

Kelly (1994) and Henry and Rickman (2007) apply similar conceptual frameworks of concentric circles based on the ecological theory of Bronfenbrenner. Despite different research questions, participants, methods, these two research projects are built on the same theoretical assumption that human behaviors and the consequences of their behaviors are the outcomes of human interactions with their own context. According to Bronfenbrenner’s theory, each person is located in the core circle entitled microsystems which often includes that person’s family, school, peers, etc. Outside the microsystem is the mesosystems where the interactions of related people in the microsystem conduct with each other. In the next layer, exosystems, there are boarder communities that the person lives in, for example, her/his neighborhood, the health care system, and so on. Macrosystems which are the outer layer, refer to high-level structures such as culture and subcultures, economic systems.
