Workplace Observation Paper

After spending the day observing a fourth grade inclusive class and attending a fourth grade PLC meeting focused on testing, I began my community service at the after school program. I was quite curious to see what the after school program is like as I work as a supervisor at an after school program in Sussex County. At dismissal, all the students came to the cafeteria and began their homework. They were very talkative and sitting in close proximity as there were only a few tables left down for the students. Once everyone had arrived, the teachers called out that all students were to quietly work on homework.

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.

I decided for my social observation the mall would be a good place to start. I came there on a Friday evening when there should be plenty of people to watch. I also sat in the Barnes and Noble café after that to observe. I expected to see a lot of people shopping and conversing. A few things did stand out to me within the few hours I was there. Some things I didn’t expect to see. We are expected to behave a certain way in public determined by our culture as to what is acceptable. Some people stay well within the lines while some might stray outside the norms but never too far typically. Usually the ones to travel to the extremes are adolescents and teenagers. This is what I observed.

S/S Perez made several attempts to call the officers from 1st shift to cover the open post, but was unsuccessful to get someone to come in.

Upon my arrival, I spoke with the complainant, Jason Robertson. Jason stated earlier that morning, Travis Walker, a former employee who was terminated about two months prior, drove onto the complex in a white car. Travis then drove to the back of the compound, behind the Con Ex box. Travis told the employees he was working with a man and needed the concrete saw and rebar gun. The employees told Travis that he needed to leave and that he is not allowed on the property. Travis then left the property.

I'm harassed daily at Pitt University, Greensburg under the Hands of William Bill Franicola. These employees know they can get away with their action of laughing in our faces, slurs, hand gestures and comments Mr. Franicola is present letting this behavior continue. Nothing is confiding at Pitt after Joe told me he was keeping an eye on Bob Godzik, outside the pole building Donna Myers, Vicki Hoak is pointing there two fingers at Bob saying they are keeping their eyes on you then moving their fingers towards their eyes. They did the same Hand gestures to Dan Kelly when Bob Godzik was present in the office.

CM Lantz called this evening at approx 2130 hours. She was concerned about some information she received from Lincoln Park residents regarding calls for service they were trying to make with the PD. According to CM Lantz some residents were bothered that upon contacting dispatch, they seemed reluctant to take information about possible transients being in the park after dark. I contacted dispatch and they received a total of 2 calls regarding transients in the park after dark and calls for service were generated. One of the dispatchers informed me that he was informing residents about some of the new laws regarding transients which seemed to anger the caller. I spoke with Dispatch Supervisor Larry Raines and asked that he inform dispatch to take the call and allow the officers who respond to the call to handle the matter.

My participant observation research project is on sex offenders. A few topics I would be interested in is different type of offenders, such as pedophilic and non-pedophilic. I know sex offending is horrible all together but I really hate when I hear about children and teens being hurt. My questions would be what causes their urge to offend children? How do they know the victim? How to help the offender?

My practicum took place on September 7,2016 from nine thirty to ten thirty. The practicum took place at Impact Early College High School in Baytown. The class I observed was Ms. Nguyen’s class of juniors and seniors that contained twenty students, seven boys and thirteen girls. The class appeared to be alert and ready to learn. Since this was their second period class they already had enough time to shake off their fatigue. The subject was Pre-Calculous and the topic was operations of functions. Students entered the classroom in a calm manner and socialized until it was time to start class.
