During my service this semester I used CHES competencies: 6.1.4 (Adapt Information for consumer), 7.1.3 (Tailor messages for intended audience), 7.1.7 (Deliver messages using media and communication strategies). I was able to practice using CHES sub-competency 6.1.4 while tabling and volunteering for D.A.R.T.S. because I had to understand how to change the information I was given to connect with the intended audience. The intended audience for tabling was college level student, and for D.A.R.T.S it was seventh graders. By knowing the intended audience, I was able to simplify the information that needed to be passed on to the audience, so that it would make more sense and make more of an impact onto that person. CHES sub-competency 7.1.3 was
During this session, the skills that I utilized were listening skills, observing verbal and nonverbal communication and paraphrasing. Being an attentive listener is very important, I was trying to perceive important information without missing any. I observed the client body language and the tone in her voice. Also, using the paraphrasing skills allowed clarity to see if I was following the client story accurately.
As stated in the relationship domain I feel that in order to succeed in the strategic domain you would need to be an active listener when absorbing the information while using coaching or counseling techniques when teaching others because when you combine the two skills you can coach people through your thought process on how things are done while pulling information from the information you actively listened to. We’ve also learned about different learning styles when taking a self-awareness test. In this test I found out that I use assimilation-learning styles, which combines reflective and abstract conceptualization traits to understand vast amount of information and puts them into simple forms to explain what they observed. Typically an assimilation learner prefers to learn though lectures, readings and research, which I have always felt more comfortable in taking in class lectures over on-line
However, I have learned to improve my communication skills and relationships through communication courses. Prior to enrolling in communication
The “Nurse of the Future Core Competencies Self Assessment Tool (SSAT)” has eleven core competencies that are vital to every nurse on the floor. It include: Patient-Centered Care, Professionalism, Leadership, System-Based Practice, Informatics and Technology, Communication, Teamwork and Collaboration, Safety, Quality Improvement, Evidence-Based Practice, and Nursing Knowledge.
I have excellent effective oral and written communication skills and can relate to a range of audiences. Throughout the past few years through work experience and volunteering opportunities I have worked alongside a range of service users that come from diverse background and have diverse needs, For example I worked at Albion Health centre GP as a Admin assistant through this experience I developed my communication skills as well as my written and computer skills as I was required to update service users records on the
Another facet to this concept of competency restoration is the idea of predicting restorability. The groundbreaking case Jackson v Indiana (1972) dealt with the issue of pre-trial involuntary commitment of an incompetent individual. Theon Jackson, a deaf-mute was charged with petty theft. During his competency evaluation, the physicians determined that Jackson’s intelligence was too low, he was therefore incompetent, and had a very small chance of competency restoration even if he were not a deaf-mute. Jackson was then involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. An appeal was then filed, arguing that Jackson’s right to equal protection and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment were violated. The Supreme Court’s ruling is as
Introduction: Many assessment tools and interviewing skills are available to the clinical social worker within a mental health setting. This paper will examine one such assessment tool, the competency-based assessment, and its applicability in a mental health setting. A comparison will be made between this advanced assessment method and a generalist social work assessment. Interviewing people who have mental health concerns can offer challenges for clinical social workers. Several interviewing techniques that can help with some of these challenges will be outlined.

The attainment of clinical skills helps to build my proficiency in delivering care to patients and able to visualize on the next placement.
VA Learning University (2011) “Competencies are the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to build a highly competent organization capable of meeting current and future challenges. Competencies form the foundation of our development efforts and help each employee understand what is necessary to grown and advance in their career.” According to VA Learning University (2011) states, “Competencies are set a common standard for successful performance for all employees. Provide a direct link to training and development options. Help employees understand the path for career growth. Help employees better meet the needs of our Veterans and their
We also utilize a program called Project Read. It provides literacy curriculum for grades K-12 and focuses on phonics, reading comprehension and writing. We have a few teachers on staff that have been trained to help incorporate Project Read into all of the classrooms. It utilizes lessons that are based on direct concept teaching, higher level thinking skills and can also be adapted for the SDC classes, as it can incorporate multisensory strategies. This curriculum is supposed to make an improvement on RTI scores, but we don’t have data that shows Project Read results separated from Read 180 results, so the improvement gap and growth we have experienced could be from either program or both combined.
These are the skills and competencies I have learned through my studies at Walden University. Kaslow, Grus, Campbell, & Fouad, et al. (2009) stated professionalism comes from my respect for those who need help. Integrity can be built with confidence in the therapist. Attitudes are charitable, polite, caring emotions toward others that fuel my motivation toward helping. This concern welfare of others comes from my religious and personal experiences as a child and young adult.
In conclusion I believe that I have developed both skills working with others and improving your own learning and performance. But I need to work on these skills so I can use them in a more effective way; and I also recognise that I will not develop these in a short period of time. I will have to work on the strategies I have mentioned throughout the assignment in order to improve these skills.
Francis told a story about a time when she went to a house that was very dirty. Jackie used competency number 6 when helping these clients. She engaged with the individuals and their families. Jackie used her interpersonal skills to effectively help the clients. She said as a social worker sometimes you have to teach your clients things that seem like common knowledge to most.
For each foundational competency I will identify if my competence is at the entry, intermediate, or expert level. Entry level will be assigned to competencies in which I have minimal knowledge or experience. Intermediate level will be assigned to competencies in which I have demonstrated basic knowledge and experience. Expert level will be assigned to competencies in which I have demonstrated advanced knowledge and experience. In addition, I will document a plan for closing the gap between my current level of competency and the level I require for being successful in the field of training and development.
The competencies I have developed throughout my academic and professional career are interpersonal skills, organizational management, community involvement, listening, observational skills, and verbal communication. The area where I always struggled with ever since elementary school was my writing. I was not aware how important my writing skills were in the field that I had chosen to study until my first social work course. My first social work class I remember receiving many grades below an b because of my grammar, but receiving great grades on presentations and home -work assignments. Having a talk with one of my professors, she told me about resources on campus and tools I could use an online. Ever since the encouraging words of my professor, I made it my duty to receive extra when it came time to do reports, papers or case notes. I made sure that I started my papers on time so I could re-read my assignments before it 's due and used a writer-editor online to assist me. The journey I made through my academic career seemed easier when I had put in more time doing my coursework and learning how to ask for help when I was in need. I do believe as I continue my academic career and grow professionally I will continue to get
