Rescue group

remember? What effect has the group experience had on your life? How did your thinking process differ from the other group members? Now, take a moment, to work on phrases that capture how you are feeling about our work together. In addition, what will you take away ‘beneficial’ from your time in the group? Who would like to start? (Schneider-Corey et al., 2014). Leading an effective group counseling relies on the groundwork a group place on the to plan and conduct groups. ‘Extra’ time in…

We would like to start by introducing our group which consists of Salome Fregoso, Roxanne Wagstaff, Andrea Lopez, Mehwish Kazi and Angel Mejia, we named our group the Avengers. For our first group assignment we were asked to pick a topic from the three provided on blackboard. We chose option one which is about theories. Our assignments were to interview three parents of children ages 12 months - 5 years and ask them to share some stories about their children and about themselves when they were a…

myself and my group members participated was an exercise that introduced ourselves and helped give our classmates an idea what we think about a certain topic and needs that we find important. The group exercise was to think about being on a tropical island with no escape, and bringing five important things to that island. Some important things that I thought I should bring was a book called “Lord of the Flies”, a movie called “Fools Rush In”, makeup, a boat, and a bathing suit. My group and I…

Throughout the last year, the Director has made a point to change many processes, for worse or for better. The majority of her effort has been focused on how the office functions as a group or “team.” Two influential factors on how our group functions is the fact that the entire team is female in gender and group decision making. There is a particular instance where the team was gathered and was expected to participate in a meeting about streamlining processes in consultative phone calls. This…

work in groups of four, and the lab members had to be switched with every lab. We were responsible for completing the lab within a certain time allotted by the teacher. We quickly realized that dividing the responsibilities and trusting each other was the only way to go if we wanted to finish on time. If we had not split of the tasks the lab would have resulted in being incomplete. We had to clearly communicate with each other what had to be done and how it had to be done. Working in groups,…

My team consisted of six members, we had no particular roles in the group as we decided that everyone should have equal input. Having to work in groups helped me make friends and enhance my communication skills. Working in teams taught me how not to be afraid to voice my opinion as it is normal if people do not share the same beliefs as me. Each team member was comfortable with each other. I have always been afraid of doing group work because of me being shy, but after this assessment I believe…

Last summer I partnered with another educator from my school to craft a multisession mini course for Math for America. The course met over a three month period and focussed on teaching educators from the Metro New York area about the symmetries of a sphere using an ancient japanese art form called Temari. I used our organization’s shared digital message board called the small world network to post and share an overview of our course in the spring course catalog and invited 15-20 teachers to sign…

the project, I was fully involved. One of my biggest contributions was keeping records and information from group meetings organized. I took minutes of each group meeting and wrote down every decision that was decided upon the group. With that information, I would later put it into an organized chart or list that made the information more accessible and understandable for the rest of the group. For example, after we decided which characters were being cut from the script and which characters…

adult lives. It is important for officers to train dogs because K-9 unit dogs’ help officers look for evidence where officers cannot go, save lives, and fight crimes. There are two main types of K-9 unit dogs that are trained to be either search and rescue dogs which are cadaver dogs, trailing dogs, and water search dogs or forensic evidence dogs which include drug sniffing dogs, bomb sniffing dogs, and patrol dogs (criminal justice). Any dog in any field has to be trained continuously and meet…

Cindy Corey authors of Group Process and Practice, the discussions, and research materials have offer me an approach to the group process, where theory and practice in group work can be observed. The readings help me see how experience people apply key elements of the group process in group work. The group process has guidelines that are broken down in the group process sequence. I like how the group process has been broken down since while I am learning what is the group process, I am also…
