This group is a girl's self-esteem group consisting of four 3rd grade girls, and I am their Group Leader. This

People tend to favor ourselves when making decision, it is easier to say than to act. It takes more than courage, we have to have the ethical values, judgement, motivation and character. One of Kidder’s Ethical Checkpoints can help us make decisions: test for right-versus-wrong issue: are you comfortable if it appeared on the front page of the tomorrow’s newspaper.

    A student raised with the Culturalcentric lens may have difficulty adopting some of the traditional classroom norms of group behavior. If there is a way to incorporate a cultural practice or tradition, one that is unique to this student, do so. It would validate them and offer a wonderful learning opportunity for their classmates. Also, there are times when the needs of the entire classroom must supplant the individual. A student with a Culturalcentric lens may have a challenge realizing these moments. A clear but firm reminder to this student that they are part of a larger group with common, universal goals - i.e. "to learn", may be needed.…

    Since ethical principles tend to conflict with cases like bullying such as hearing of a bullying occurrence or concern from a student and contemplating whether or not to report, the group leader will keep all information shared confidential unless disclosure is required. In a situation where the bully poses a threat to the life of the victim, a report will be made. The leader will also discuss with the school principal about her role as a group leader (social worker) as well as the obligation to her group members in regards to privacy and confidentiality. This will enable the principal (school) and the group leader to have a common ground on the limitations on what to report in respects to the group. In addition the group leader can encourage the group to write about what privacy and confidentiality means to them as well as a guideline on what to be done to make the group a safe place for disclosing their concerns. Finally, for the group leader to address her inability to work with the LGBTQ, she would have a co-facilitator who is more knowledgeable with helping individuals in this population. She can also attend workshops or seminars that will enable her learn how to help…

He was not as high energy as john yet still had a social circle of students he hung out with. Kenneth is also 5 years old but seemed kind of withdrawn from the environment. When I visited the first time Kenneth was the first student I paid attention to because he seemed kind of odd out of the group. Coming to find out Kenneth has and older sister that attends the Y also and is 3 years older than him. He is in a different class than his sister In not sure why. His sister is pretty active and runs and plays with things around the center but is very much involved in group activities she has 2 friends of which she spends the most time with. When presented with a new activity it takes Kenneth a few moments for his brain to kick into gear and move on to the next task he kind of sits and stares at the other children and then he goes about joining the group.

    The previous week in my practicum placement has been very rewarding. I have been able to start the fixed interval reinforcement schedule with my student. The increase in attentive listening skills during instruction over the last three weeks has resulted in increased learning. Discrete Trial Training (DTT) has been used with the student to teach colors and letter names, and the reinforcement used after each trail has been verbal praise. The student has struggled to learn colors and letters with traditional instruction, so DTT was used to break the skill into smaller parts giving opportunities for repeated practice. DTT allows for high numbers of trials to take place over a session, which provides the student with high amounts of practice with…
