2.2 What are the advantages of peer observation for institutions? Institutions need to make certain that their students are being taught efficiently and - uniformly important - consistently.

“Lying and Deception for Counselors and Clients”. Within this entry, Stein describes a very interesting a difficult ethical situation between a counselor and a client. The example details how a family is having a conversation with a family that has a child with a clear physical and mental disability. The family is aware and accepting of the physical disability but is unaware and not accepting of the mental disability that the child has. The dilemma is, does the counselor disclose to the family…

Reflection This assignment showed me that substance abuse counselors do not make a lot of money. Going into the assignment, I knew they didn’t make millions, but I did not realize how little they actually make. This assignment has made me rethink if this career is really what I want to do with my life. I know I am super passionate about this field and that I could do a lot of good work, but I have grown up in an upper class family and having to worry about money would be an adjustment for me.…

with big standardized tests, called WKCE at the time, and it was my last year at Susie C Altmayer Elementary School. However, the largest downside to fourth grade is getting the first “talk” where health professionals sit down the girls and describe the changes that will begin to occur. A couple weeks after receiving the “talk” one of my friends shared the information that a girl at our school had gotten her period. Since my friends and I had just learned about it, we had a bunch of questions:…

think a certain way or how they know that something will not turn out. Whereas REBT focuses on the underlying assumption of negative beliefs of the student (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). For example, if a student was worried about failing a test, the counselor would focus on what would happen if the student did fail and that it might be unpleasant but it would not mean that the student was…

I must say that the first and second day at the school was very hectic. Several children were having a difficult time adjusting to the classroom environment and some of them had to be removed. Most of the children required one-on-one counseling before returning to their classroom. I can definitely see the need for this service within the school system. Although there is a social worker and a school counselor, the children still require more one-on-one interaction. The teachers are very busy and…

The summer before my senior year I began my first job. I was a counselor at a summer camp, called Camp Commotion. It took place at my church and was a 10 week program for kids in kindergarten to sixth grade. Being 17, I was the youngest employee of the 27 staff members, everyone else was in college or older. The camp was made up of a theater, gym, and 6 rooms for the different activities, like cooking, sports, crafts, etc. There was a front desk area and a staff lounge. I was excited to meet…

twelve years old about basic soccer skills as well as team building activities. When I was younger I went to this camp every summer so I wanted to go back and volunteer. As a volunteer my responsibilities include doing everything possible to help the counselors and keep the campers safe. During my time as a volunteer I taught the campers soccer skills using the knowledge I've gained from playing soccer from a young age. There are many more responsibilities than teaching the kids how to play…
