For my Leadership project, I volunteered at Care Partnership, a non-profit organization that cares for children that are struggling with financial needs. The children were from ages 3 to 12. I choose to volunteer at Care Partnership because it was a place that I would go to when I was a child. I have seen it evolve the past several years. As I volunteered, I had to help the children with their homework and reading skills. At times, the children would be frustrating to work with. If I asked them a question regarding their homework assignment, they would sometimes groan or beg for an excuse to ignore their homework. Instead of yelling at the children to do their homework, I would encourage them not to give up and I would inform them how important …show more content…
Sometimes, it was difficult to work with the children because they wanted me or someone else. So, us volunteers would work together to decide who helps who. The children were not picky on who they had to work or play with. As long as they were getting attention, the children were happy. Another competence it addressed was making decisions. If the regular room was busy, we had to watch the children in the kitchen. In the kitchen, there was a refrigerator filled with buckets of ice cream. The children would go crazy for one scoop of ice cream. As soon as they arrived, they would beg for ice cream. I had to decide whether it was appropriate or not to allow the children to have a cup of ice cream. Usually, I decided that the ice cream was a reward for them if they completed their homework. Even if they had a cup of ice cream, the children would sometimes beg for more ice cream. I decided when to tell them they had too much ice cream or if they could have a bit more. Care Partnership also addressed realizing change in the environment. Although Gloria was the supervisor for the program, sometimes, Beth would take her place. When Gloria is in charge, the children run outside more often and they enjoy using their electronics (although we would tell them to put them away). However, when Beth is in charge, the children could not play outside due to other children falling hard on the sidewalk. The children also had to work more inside, such as reading more books. Beth also would make sure the volunteers had their phones put away in a desk so they would not use it all. I thought it was interesting how Gloria and Beth had different ways of leading Care Partnership. However, it is important for me to know their differences so that I can understand and realize how to take care of the children. For instance, if Gloria is in charge, the children can spend the majority of their time
On September 4, 1958, Dollree Mapp’s was convicted in the Cuyahoga County Ohio Court of Common Pleas (Mapp v. Ohio - 367 U.S. 643 (1961)). On March 29, 1961, Dollree Mapp v. Ohio was brought before the Supreme Court of the United States after an incident with local Ohio law enforcement and a search of Dollree Mapp 's home (Mapp v. Ohio 367 U.S. 643 (1961)). In the Bill of Rights, the Fourth Amendment protects and prohibits all persons from unreasonable searches and seizures. However, can evidence obtained through a search that was in violation of a person’s Fourth Amendment rights still be admitted in a state criminal proceeding? This is the issue that will be thoroughly examined in the landmark case of Dollree Mapp v. the State of Ohio (henceforth
Leading up to the collapse of the Caregroup, a researcher on the CareGroup network started an experiment with a knowledge management system application. The software was designed to locate and automatically copy information across the network. The researcher left the software up and running in its initial configuration. The software hadn’t been tested for the environment and began copying data in large volumes from other computers. By the afternoon of November 13, 2002 (the day of the collapse) the software was moving large terabytes of data across the network.
The patient may need assistance caring for himself following discharge from the hospital. The daughter lives too far to assist her father on a daily basis. The case worker needs to determine how much the daughter is willing to assist her father during the transition. The daughter may be willing to become her father’s caregiver during the initial recovery period. She would also be a good support system by providing medication reminders, encouraging medication compliance, dietary restriction compliance and promoting positive health behaviors.
Both the volunteers and children were timid, but because of my natural imagination and easy-going nature with the children, I started telling silly stories they spent minutes laughing over and then watched them stretch their faces in front of my camera. I learned that I had a natural ability to start a movement, connect two different groups of people, and create bonds between them. Again, I was also shown with this ability when a fight emerged from my other group of younger volunteers. Many of them were angry at our group leader, all declaring to act out in some form of rebellion as revenge. Although I was angry at her myself, I respected my leader and refused to take a part of it. Instead of arguing, I talked to them and explained our leader’s possible situation. I have always had the ability to understand another person’s point of view, so I explained to them that taking care of twenty young teenagers is challenging and knowing each of our individual situations was difficult. Instead, I proposed we talk about our problems with our leader peacefully, which was what we ended up doing and created a tighter, stronger bond in our
On page of our textbook it outlines the parallel process, which is how the characteristics of one relationship influence another. For example, caregivers who have a positive relationship with their coworkers carry the positive methods of communication that they employ there to their relationship with parents. The ability to maintain, strengthen and establish relationships is not usually a part of child caregivers training. Instead, it’s a skill that must be learned and practiced. An individual that has healthy relationships, and solid communication skills, usually learns these skills through trial and error.
This essay will critically analyse Care Programme Approach (CPA) assessment and care plan in an OSCE I undertook. By utilising the CPA and sources of current literature, I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to this skill as well as identifying areas with scope for learning.
Volunteering at a children’s crisis treatment facility, volunteering with Special Olympics, coaching children’s sports teams for 10 years and working as a substitute education assistant has increased my understanding of childhood development. Grandmound Elementary School provides me with opportunities to strengthen my leadership and collaboration skills, through teaching art (as a volunteer) to the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade and serving as PTA president. I was able to implement many enriching opportunities for students in areas of art, science, and reading. I learned to work as a team, set targets, achieve goals, give and receive guidance. Participating in these activities has confirmed that working with families and particularly children are my purpose.
Volunteerism has always been the most important element of my overall involvement; my first, long-term goal reflects this. Since I entered high school, I have pursued many opportunities that exploit my desire to volunteer. I thoroughly enjoy giving my time and talents to those in need as well as the character and communication skill development with which volunteerism provides me. The skills that I have earned through my work with and for others relate directly to those required to be a successful leader. Like volunteerism, leadership, the subject of my second goal, is also something I hold close to my heart. I am fond of leadership because of my experience with the empowering feeling that being a leader provides. Such opportunities to lead have pushed me to become a proponent of the development of leadership skills among youth through additional volunteerism with...
It is important that us as child care providers establish and maintain professional relationships with our colleagues that allow for an open learning environment where things can get done not only for us as professionals but to set an example for the children of how to interact with adults and one another we are an example to the children as dedicated professionals who are concerned for the development of children. Our ideals as child care professions with our colleagues is to be respectful of one another, and support and uplift one another by helping each other within our profession to succeed and be positive examples for one another and expand our professional development. The principles that we as child care providers should focus on is of the respect of our colleagues and sharing knowledge with one another that we acquire through continual education within our
The long term care course was very interesting and helped me learn more about what is involved. In the LTC are not only nursing homes, but also adult day care, hospice and home health service. Long-term care is service and supports that a person would need for their own care. A lot of long-term care is not medical care and is considered assisting on everyday personal tasks. I learned that long-term care services are determined by chronic disease and disability. There will always be a need for long-term care.
According to the World Health Organization, Collaborative practice in health care for instance nursing, occurs when numerous health workers from various professional backgrounds provide comprehensive services by working together with patients, their families, care-givers and communities to deliver the best quality of care across settings (CAN, 2011). The elements of collaborative practice include accountability, responsibility, communication, assertiveness, co-operation, co-ordination, mutual respect and trust. These interactions reveal a blend of professional cultures, which are achieved by sharing of knowledge and skills to improve the care of the patient (Bridges et al, 2011). The video I watched was on Collaboration-Interprofessional Competency.
What is the primary role of staff members in a child care program? How should they adjust their interactions from the youngest children to the oldest?
...r child to these interventions and they could make sure to remind their children every day that they are important. Parents could also set up play dates or birthday parties that invite the whole class.
In partnering and adopting the shared Vision, I have enabled me to support the growth of toddlers. I have seen children enter the classroom sometimes shy, unsure or frightened not knowing their surroundings are comforted by service. Having played a part in their development throughout a years’ time is rewarding. they will be cared for and respected. challenge in the process inspires growth not only for me as a leader, but for those that are in my organization.
The partnership may involve use of school or neighbours facilities and equipment, sharing other resources, collaborative fund raising and grant applications, volunteer assistance, mentoring and training from professionals and others with special expertise, information sharing and dissemination, networking, recognition and public relations, shared responsibility for planning, implementation and evaluation of programs and services, expanding opportunities for internships, jobs, recreation and building a sense of community.
