Power Of Collaboration

Linda Albert’s Cooperative Discipline Model was designed to allow teachers to utilize specific strategies to reach individual students and help modify their behavior. According to Albert, students choose their own behavior. As teachers, we cannot control a student’s behavior choices, but we can influence them. “Using a comprehensive approach, "Cooperative Discipline" deals with all three discipline types: corrective, preventive, and supportive. It addresses the topics of student motivation, avoiding and defusing confrontations, ways to reinforce desirable behavior, building student self-esteem, when and how to involve parents and others, and how to discipline cooperatively.” (Albert, L., (1990))

The two words most often used, ”cooperative and collaboration,” can easily be both applicable to the United States of America and other countries today, and are still often used to describe contract negotiations for the United States of America as well as other countries. (Barnardin & Russell, 2013).

In this essay I will talk about why the collaboration is important in social work practice and how the preparation for the Assessment 1 has contributed to my learning.

It is important to consult family, friends, carers and parents when planning person centred support. Every day you should work in partnership with those you support, their families, health professionals and your colleagues. You are working with them so that the individual can fulfil their dreams and ambitions, and so that you can assist them with their particular needs. Most family carers have a wealth of knowledge and experience about their family member. They know their likes and dislikes, their personal history and any particular medical needs. They are often more than happy to share what they know with new workers. A major aspect of partnership working is bringing people together in an atmosphere where this is simply the accepted way of

Additionally, the story Harrison Bergeron has an example of one person making a difference. In the story there is a Ballet being broadcasted, but then Harrison a person in the run interrupts it and shows to the whole audience that you can be better

Today’s session was conducted by second year placement social work students and service users. The issue they covered was about the relevance of working in partnership within the social care profession.

Collaboration involves negotiation and consensus seeking (Blais & Hayes, 2016). As the assistant director of nursing, I am a member of the Quality Improvement committee. Our purpose is to meet on a monthly basis to review feedbacks from patients regarding their home health aides. We need to know if the patient needs are being met, if they are being treated with respect and what improvements can be made to keep quality aides in order to ensure quality care of patients. Providing good care for home health patients with chronic conditions needs to be organized and coordinated (Barr & Ross, 2007).

1. What is the one topic that really stood out to you in Chapter 9- Collaborating in Teams? Why? Chapter nine in our textbook addressed collaborating in teams. This chapter did an excellent job of informing the reader about several key elements pertaining to teamwork. Topics like elements of teamwork, team dynamics and how to improve them, and ways to enhance teamwork. After completing the homework for this week in conjunction with our required reading assignments one aspect of our reading really stood out to me. Learning about the differences between groups and teams in the workplace was very interesting to me. As learned, there are several fundamental differences between groups and teams. Some of the components of a group are: roles

To enrich children's understanding and respect of cultural identities within the service’s community educators need to first gain a solid understanding of the cultural identities within the centre themselves. Open communication between educators and children and their families is a key to gathering information from each child’s cultural background and cultural identity. Using collaborative partnerships between educators and family members will assist with gathering information and inclusivity between all cultural groups represented in the Centre's community. Collaborative Partnerships are defined as “involving two-way communication and negotiation where educators and family members share information, exchange ideas and work towards shared goals” (Arthur et al. 2015 P37).

Two of my goals that I have are to collaborate more with other student organizations and IUPUI. I think it is important to collaborate with other student organizations because it is a fantastic opportunity for SPA to build relationships with a wide and diverse audience. I want to collaborate with IUPUI by having monthly events and meetings at convenient locations.

How to Change the World Growing up, we have all probably heard the chilché motivational speech that everyone can achieve their dreams and make a monumental difference in the world, no matter how insignificant we may think we are in the grand scheme of things. The documentary How to Change the World, directed by Jerry Rothwell, attests to the legitimacy of this statement that we may not have believed as children. By using imagery and audio to establish pathos, the stories of real life people to establish ethos, and steps that are actually proven to work to establish logos, Rothwell tries to convince the viewers that no matter how small you start out, if you have something you believe in and are willing to work for then you can change the world.

“Listening to families is key in working with them as partners in supporting the learning and development of their child with special needs”. IDEA (2004) has mandated that individuals with disabilities be provided educational opportunities with non-disabled peers in the least restrictive environment. IDEA (2004) further notes that parental involvement is required as part of the decision making process. This has proven to be one of the most important elements to the educational program of students with disabilities. Prior to laws governing

At USD, I am part of the Collaborate LLC. One of the benefits of this community is the opportunity to sit in on a class called ‘Civic Engagement in the US and South Africa’. Both this class and my own LLC class are focused on the concept of collaboration. This central theme was evident in the topics being taught, as well as the teaching style. The instructor fostered a very personal, yet difficult conversation with the students by asking follow up questions. He encouraged students to expand on their answers and often these answers lead to additional questions that the student continued to discuss. He encouraged other students to make comments, question other students and even ask questions of their own. This led to an open and welcoming

My first area of collaboration this coming school year is with my administration team and teachers. By collaborating with these teams, I can help them understand the importance of special education, legal and policy and educating all students. Next, is the collaborating with the district office and making sure that they understand what is going on in the schools so that they can better support leadership and teachers in the school. Last, and most importantly is the collaboration with the students and their families. By being up front and clear with families and students about the student performance and what work is needed to help the student, the better prepares the whole team is in supporting the student.
