Practicum

As aspiring professionals in the field of education counselors, instructors, and professional faculty are prone to serve and assist a diverse student population. Therefore, it is in the best of interest for the student for professionals to be aware of their biases, privileges, and prejudices that can hinder a genuine and authentic relationship with the student. Also recognizing that certain groups have more power and privilege than others. And having awareness of your biases, privileges,…

supplying the child with schedules and materials to stay organized. Before taking this class, I was unaware of what autism and dyslexia were too. Learning about the characteristics of autism was beneficial for me, since one of the students at my practicum site has autism. I always wondered why the student was…

look to the group leader for guidance and direction. Group members have a desire for acceptance by the group and a need to know that the group is safe”. At the first meeting, we agreed to open a WhatsApp chat. Because we are working or doing our practicum in different hours, it is the best way to communicate. Group member exchanged telephone numbers.

Registered Nurse, APRN. But first, she had to finish eight weeks of her last practicum, an internship at a small family practice clinic in a suburb of Madison, Wisconsin. Margo had done most of her schooling on the East coast: a bachelor’s degree in nursing, BSN, at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH and now her graduate degree at Yale School of Nursing in New Haven, CT. This change in scenery for her practicum, from East coast to Midwest living, was actually a return to her…

difficult, at first, to adjust to one another’s styles as both teachers and students. Once we were able to get into a rhythm with working with one another, I think we were able to learn a lot from one another. By having the opportunity to watch another practicum student teach, I was able to reflect upon my own teaching and find way to improve my style and approaches. Being able to collaborate with someone else is helpful and also makes the workload more manageable. It also ensure that there are…

have been able to have three internships and an international field placement while in my undergraduate career for social work outside of what I will be doing next semester at Charis House, a residential facility for women in crisis for my senior practicum. My first internship was with Heartland Hospice Service. I worked with two clients directly meeting with them for an hour each week and doing process notes for the social worker who came bi-weekly. I did twenty hours of work with this…

After watching the film “Teachers” I felt slightly discouraged, as the scenario of students slipping through the cracks, not learning to their potential, and being bound from the opportunity of success, is true. Now, that being said, I don’t think students can graduate without the ability to read or write, however I do believe that some students are just passed along never receiving the help they require due to the fact that teachers can only do so much on their own, and that teaching the…

The program offers pedagogy in subject matter relevant to my academic interests and career goals. Moreover, I am drawn to the course of study because of its international focus and opportunity for the real-world practicum experience. My vast experience in the field of human and social services, combined with my educational background serves as a solid foundation for earning a Ph.D. in International Psychology with an emphasis in Organizations and Systems. This combination…

direct service positions. The program teaches students about diverse populations, human behavior, social welfare policy, and ethics. The program also gives students a hand on experience in the field by requiring students to complete a supervised practicum or internship prior to graduation. Some social work professions require a master’s degree in social work, such as clinical social workers. One of the advantages about the social work profession is that a bachelor’s degree in social work is not…

Lit Review In 1965, Gordon Moore predicted that technology would rapidly improve every 18 months, fast forward to 2016 and we have improved so well technologically that it has become something nobody could have ever predicted. We are living in a golden age of technology with innovations being discovered and produced every day. In 2016, we tend to make fun of technology that is only 10 years old because and can never imagine how we could possible survive with relying on such an old device.…
