Practicum

Critical Reflective Journal I would like to acknowledge the Dharug (also called, Darug, Daruk, Dharuk and Dharruk) people who are the traditional custodians of the land where I live, work, study and was born. I would also like to pay my profoundest respect to all Elders both past and present of Dharug Country. Furthermore, would like to express my deepest sympathy and am sincerely sorry for all historical mistakes by past governments and policies (Creative Spirits, 2017). Aboriginal and Torres…

later as a 6th grade teacher myself, I often think of her and strive to make sure that my classes include that area of student interest. My college years were much the same as high school in the beginning. It was not until I entered my educational practicum classes did I actually get to be active and involved in planning and implementing lessons. However, it was in traditional classrooms that I was assigned to observe and…

My practicum student only attended two days of school this week. I was able to observe him both days in the general education classroom, and was impressed with how he sat and looked at the teacher during the fifteen-minute lesson. Following instruction the students completed a 30-minute work task triggering the problem behavior where Shyne would leave the work area or hide under a desk. The assigned tasks involved writing skills above his ability level, and at the end of both days he only wrote…

Personal Statement At the age of five, I had fallen in love with reading when I started learning the Arabic alphabet. Since my parents work in the education field and believe in the importance of reading, they encouraged me to read a lot in different areas. During my adolescence, I began reading the topics that attracted me. For example, inquiries to counselors in magazines and newspapers about life difficulties that people suffers. I was eager to help people, and I felt I might do that…

In my practicum classroom, my mentor teacher uses many formative assessments to check for students understanding. One strategy that I have seen used repeatedly is “thumbs up.” Ms. Houck uses this strategy to quickly assess whether students have grasped a concept…

Agency analysis Agencies Purpose Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System (CAVHCS) was one of the practicum sites that I visited and interview with, as part of selecting a proper placement. Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System (CAVHCS) is a general medicine and surgery facility. From the merger of the Montgomery and Tuskegee VA Medical Centers, Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System (CAVHCS) was established January 1, 1997. The agency was previously known as Veterans Health…

I want to explore graduate school programs for clinical psychology. I also want to explore the application process for graduate school because I am not familiar with all the details with the process. I am not sure if a Master’s degree or a Ph.D is appropriate for my interests. I need to decide how I want to work with the population that I want to work with, whether it is directly working with them or studying them. One thing, I noticed when exploring resources, is the advice that is out…

At my practicum, there are several opportunities for a counselor to make a mistake. However, the mistakes can be easily corrected, and most of the time the person on the other end of the phone or computer will not be phased by a slip up. The forgiveness of the mess up does not make it okay, because as social workers we should strive to always provide the best services for our clients. When I think of decisions I have made that were flawed, I immediately think of a chat session I had last week…

Within my practicum, I witnessed techniques described in Managing Classroom Behavior, A Reflective Case-Based Approach where a firm, assertive voice was used by my teacher to engage a student’s attention; it was short, effective, and is used during group or individual…

Specifically, these methods denote a standard order for their practicum. The significance in adhering to the fifteen crucial steps from beginning to end of the process of evidentiary practices was made clear (National Criminal Justice Reference Service, 2017). For instance, a chain of custody form must be completed…
