Recommended: Importance of social work ethics in social work practice

So the most common theory that I can think of that would apply to system theories because these kids are on a system. With the way their IEP’s are set up for these students they are on a plan that is suppose to work the best for them to succeed in high school. Some of the other theories of practices that I can think of would be the anti oppressive practice. Each day I go with one of the EA’s as well as a student and attend science class. Even though this student is not at the skill level of this class his parents still wanted him to be integrated into school like any other student. When going to this class with the student I as hit competency area 5. Like state above during my month here at Korah I was able to watch how the teachers react to …show more content…

Just like in our textbook they worked in teams one of the EA handled that class and got them to give the student space while my supervisor intervened with the student. With this I can say that it relates competency area two focusing on social work practice and ethics. Each day I still debrief with my supervisor, which is also apart of area 2. I feel that are number three is where I excel I have “actively initiates and sustains interactions with clientele (understands that any contact is rapport building and “assessing”) showing increased autonomy, independence and entry level competence” (Gough/Murray, 2016. P6). I also have been practicing writing progress notes. Each day working with the student who has final projects I would write down what we worked on and the goals for the next day that I was there. Mostly the goals where to move on to the next set of slides, this activity relates to area number four and how I demonstrates ability to develop effective, purposeful working relationships with clients as well as demonstrating the ability to mutually determined appropriate goals/service plans with clientele served” (PG7) I have continued to learn about the relevant diversity factors of clientele served (history, socio-economic status, age, abilities sexual orientation, developmental stage, gender

  • Servant Leadership Characteristics

    I liked discussing how each quality can be incorporated into that classroom and how they can benefit the working environment. Though we talked about several different qualities, I believe that the “healing” characteristic is the most challenging for me. Though I am sensitive by nature, I have found myself become more callused towards how a student’s performance is linked to their disability due to the level of special education that I work in. I work with students’ labeled as having learning disabilities. These students are one track below the general education curriculum and I feel most are placed at my level due to laziness (that is my callused thinking). Though I they need the help, it is the lack of homework turn in, effort put towards their work and their “I don’t care” statements I hear on a daily basis that frustrates me in my efforts to help them. Another reason why I believe I am becoming calloused is because of the parents. During past teacher conferences, I had a few parents try to use their child’s disability as an excuse to why they were not completing homework, their excessive amount of tardiness to class, and the number of times they check their cell phone during class. I enjoy having a relationship with parents, but one of my biggest peeves is when individuals use their disability as excuse to why they cannot do a task before they even

  • Essay On Behavioral Intervention Plan

    1170 Words  | 3 Pages

    It takes a while to change any behavior. Part of the plan should be effective consequence strategies. Planned consequences reinforce the acquisition and use of alternative skills and reduce the effectiveness of problem behavior should it continue to occur. Having planned consequences should help teach the student that his/her use of alternative skills is a better way to bring about the desired result. Because it does take a while for a behavior intervention plan to change a student 's behavior, it is important that the IEP team decide what will happen when the problem behavior still occurs. If it is a manageable behavior, it is important to come up with responses that discourage the problem behavior and do not provide the function or desired result of the behavior. In some cases the behavior may be extreme. The IEP team should develop a crisis plan to address those situations. First the group needs to define what is a crisis. Then they should describe the intervention procedures to be put into place including who will be involved. They must identify the resources needed to implement the plan and agree on the procedures for documenting the use of the crisis
