In the case of the Trent and Joe, the interim social worker, responded properly and utilized the four phases of the problem-solving process which includes, the engagement phase, assessment phase, intervention phase, and evaluation phase. As a new interim social worker Joe is trying to acquaint herself with the teachers and learning the children’s name in the school. He was a little bit shocked when she saw how the teacher’s aide yelled at a little boy that was begging for his mother to come to his rescue. She did awesome job by properly engaging Trent. Joe makes good contact by meeting the client where he was and established rapport by briefly speaking and calming him down.

First of all, he realized the stereotyped the white people labeled very early in school and that these labels followed them throughout their education levels. He equally knew that labels have influence on how teachers and staff react to kids and it contribute the quality of the education Trent will obtain. Joe did not want such a thing to happen to Trent; Joe showed enthusiasm when he was authorized by her field instructor to pursue the case. He started by gathering all the information that is relevant to make this case successful. Joe set a goal through research by reading Trent school record and collaborating with Trent’s teacher, psychologist, and all the staff involved in the case. Joe called Trent father over the phone and asked some questions, which resulted in a face to face interview at school. This process helped Joe to understand the genesis of Trent problem. Joe developed a helping relationship with the family that aid her to follow up through home visits, which is where the family was comfortable to open up and talk. In the meeting at the Trent’s father house Joe was able to get the information that aided him to initiate the action plan for the case. Joe carried the plan by having several meetings with the school psychologist, the teacher, the aide, Trent, and his parents. Through these meetings the intervention plan was devised. Joe identified goals that will help Trent maintain the appropriate behavior at school and at home by using a chart. The chart says Trent should keep his hands and feet to himself, using good manners, walk in line, and sits in his seat correctly. Joe equally created a plan of grouping Trent and other five boys in one group which has similar problem like Trent. During evaluation, Joe achieved his goal by maintained regular contact with all the people involved in the Trent’s case which really
Facts: The Louise Lombard School is a developmental center for disabled children in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD).

The Casey Anthony case was one that captured the heart of thousands and made it to the headline of national TV talk shows, newspapers, radio stations and social media networks for months. The root of the case was due to a clash between the parental responsibilities, the expectations that went with being a parent, and the life that Casey Anthony wanted to have. The case was in respect to the discovering the cause of Casey’s two-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony’s, death; however the emphasis was placed on Casey and her futile lies, which resulted in a public outcry. The purpose of this essay is to delve into the public atmosphere and inquire about why the media and social media collectively attacked the case by uncovering the content of the case, the charges that were laid, and later dismissed, the “performers” of the trial and the publics reaction. It will further discuss how it defies universal ideologies and how the media represents this. The discussion of the complexities of the case and its connotations will incorporate Stuart Hall’s Representation and the Media, Robert Hariman’s Performing the Laws, What is Ideology by Terry Eagleton, The Body of the Condemned by Michael Foucault, and a number of news articles, which will reveal disparate ideas of representation in the media, and the role of the performers of the law and their effect on the understanding of the case.
The three videos that I observed are Case Social Worker, Addictions Therapists, and Child Find Specialist. The video I observed was the Case Social Worker the interview with Sue Dowling (Dowling, S). The video was about a interview was with Sue Dowling, who currently works with the Social Service Department in the Arlington Massachusetts area, and is an ongoing assessment social worker. Dowling noted in the interview that there are three phases in the Department of Social Services. The first phase is an intake or investigations. The second phase is the assessment.

During the beginning of the 10 days if the child is in an

In the case study, Jim Colbert, a third grade teacher, struggles to help a boy named Carlos. This Public School 111 was located in a metropolitan, run down neighborhood. The school was surrounded by drug dealers and trash. However, the inside of the school was bright and welcoming. Here the students were placed according to their abilities, and Jim had a 3-A class for the high achieving students. Jim had a routine that he followed every day. He would take the learning and apply it to the student’s lives with practical examples. To begin the day Jim would go through the homework with the students, and here he began to notice that Carlos was misspelling many of his words. Carlos comprehended the readings, but he was behind in his spelling. Jim talked with the other third grade teacher, Paul, about Carlos. Then, he talked to Carlos about the problem, asking him if he could get help at home. Here Jim discovered that Carlos would get little to no help at home. Jim sent home a dictionary with Carlos so that he could check his spelling, and he saw
Interprofessional practice is essentially the collaboration of multi-disciplinary professionals to achieve a common client-centred goal and in doing so, better assist with the complexity of the clients’ challenges (Chenoweth & McAuliffe, 2015, McCallin, 2014). Whilst the ability to work in partnership with other professionals is essential in creating the best outcomes for a wide variety of client care (Pecukonis, Doyle, & Bliss, 2008), social workers face a range of boundaries that may limit their ability to work coherently, including miscommunication, lack
The assessment will include a discussion of the problem behavior, the social worker will am to gain a clear understanding of the context of the problem and how it is affecting Mrs. Kay. The social worker will ask Mrs.
Then start to develop goals by finding out what they think is helping and what is not and are they willing to invest the time and effort by using the scaling exercise. The social worker with asks strengths-reinforcing coping questions how, what, and has. The Client is encouraged to define their goals from the start where the social worker may present and alternate perspective are to ask the miracle question. Answers to this question can provide indicators of change to be used. “All task are interventions are intended to encourage the client to think and behave differently with regard to the presenting problem than has been typical in the past (Walsh, 2013).” The formal first-session is the assignment of observing the good the client would like to continue in their life and maybe get the client thinking about exceptions. Second the surprise task surprising another person connected with the problem in a good way “shake up” in the clients’ routine and influence positive behavior. The ending is worked on from the start of intervention, where progress is monitored at each session that might be the last. Where the focus is on helping clients identify strategies to maintain and continue the momentum of enacting solutions.
Marvin Shoemaker is a five-year-old African American male in Kindergarten at Old Shell Road Elementary school. His mother Margaret Shoemaker went to speak with the school counselor regarding Marvin’s behavior at home and in the classroom and was referred to a social worker.

I believe that my developing practice style coincides with Common Factors, as well as evidenced based practice. I think that a successful social worker must have the ability to connect with the client, build a trusting relationship built on trust and professionalism, and ensure that the needs of the client are being addressed first and foremost. I only believe there should be frequent check-ins to ensure that the needs of the client are being met and acknowledged. There are times that we may want to insert our own interests and agenda in to the work with the client, but this can severely hinder and deter the client’s interest and future participation in therapy. I think it is possible to incorporate these factors in to other evidence based
Social workers deal with intense situations daily. It is important that social workers are aware of how they are affected by these interactions. Priscilla Dass-Brailsford explains in her book, that countertransference, vicarious trauma (VT), secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and satisfaction, and burnout are all different ways that counselors can be affected (Dass-Brailsford, 2007). This is where it is important for social workers to have a plan of self-care and stress management resources to use.
Social workers need to give immediate and personal responses which should be still in line with the policy objectives of the organization (Lipsky, 2010). Therefore, the judgement they exercise in such instances of decision making becomes troublesome and
A social worker must have the knowledge and skills to apply to intervention strategies that can address key issues through a wide range of tools (Miley, O’Melia & Dubois 2013, p. 7). To devise an intervention plan for the case study, Miley’s (2013, p. 112) four step model is utilised.
This administrative practice of management focuses on productivity and profit, conflicting with the social worker-client relationship of built upon reciprocal trust, it is not a perceivable product. I believe this is a direct result from “trained as clinicians and don’t have a clue about being political and all of the other skills that you need to be a successful executive” (Jones, 2007, p. 22). Final
An element of surprise in the counseling relationship is not suitable. The planned change process is agreed upon between the worker and the client. The client is to be aware of when the last session will take place. With that being said, the social worker should reconcile their feelings with the needs of the client. If a referral is needed, it should be completed as soon as
