Ganyjuu Model

Decent Essays
We, the Griffith Field placement students associated with Ganyjuu Child and Family centre planned and organised an soft entry approach that engaged all stakeholders. Initial planning entailed comprehensive discussions between students and practitioners of Ganyjuu, regarding possible ideas for an early intervention and prevention event, whilst identifying a need that was aimed to give children the best outcomes and reduce the likelihood of poor long-term outcomes of children and their families experiencing significant disadvantage (Moore & McDonald, 2013). Throughout collaborating we came to the decision of organising an event that addressed the wellbeing of grandparents raising their children within the grandparents group (Appendix 2).

    Hi Peeps, Today's Quote "The Good Missions Act spotlights the Good Deeds of the many Wonderful Grandparents who are involved with the lives of their Grandchildren-- bridging the gap and filling in the missing information of family values, History, solid work ethics, and God's Commandments with vigor, enlightenment, excitement and experience. This is hard to do for the disobedient and inexperienced Missing in Action Grandparents." ` Jon Barnes Missing in Action There are many reasons why people are missing in action on their assignments, but the scope of this is not to address the excuses; we are focusing on the Actions.

    Quality Area 6 is an area of the National Quality Framework (2017) that articulates the importance of collaborative partnerships with families and the community, with the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (2017) arguing that these partnerships are essential for excellent outcomes for children, and the surrounding community. Perspectives, strategies and recommendations have been explored to implement into the center to improve their practice of Quality Area 6. The following case study looks at four different childhood developmental perspectives and recognises one to be the best-suited perspective for Bessie Street Children’s Centre to improve standards of relationships and collaboration with families and community.

    My research will be a 3x2 qualitative experimental design, which allows me to learn about each person’s experience and examine how children who grow up with same-sex parents achieve academically compared to children who grow up in other diverse family structures. The independent variable is family types (step-parents, single parents, same-sex parents, and traditional parents), and the dependent variables are the subject of study (math) and academic performance, measured by the ECLS-K study. These methods will be modified from Potter (2012) and will, therefore, be an extension of his current research. Procedure Before beginning the experiment, participants’ parent/guardian will read and sign a consent form explaining the benefits of the experiment. Participants will be given time to address any questions they may have.…

    One reason why we decided to work with the Dorothy Day House stems from us the importance of family dynamics and how parents want nothing more than to ensure their kids future. Another reason the Dorothy Day House caught our attention was that they house any type of family. Their families are diverse in make-up, size, age, religion and ethnicity but share the common bonds of poverty and homelessness (“Dorothy”). The Dorothy Day House does not criticize people when it comes to housing families, but rather look at what they can do to help. This foundational thinking comes from their Christian namesake, Dorothy Day, whose ideals we too admired.…

    In the book “A Path Appears” by the winning journalist Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn wrote about making chances to create opportunity to change for better. It was published in September 23, 2014. The first thing I did before I read the book, I looked the summary from the back and the author’s background to better understanding. The introduction of Path Appears, grabbed me attention because there has little short stories about people who made it change and impact on themselves or for the community. The way I annotate for the novel, I used the sticky notecards to mark the main points or supporting points.…
