Evaluating Treatment Efficacy
In order to evaluate the efficacy of each goal and intervention, an observable goal statement would be utilized. I would reflect on the observable goal throughout the duration of the therapeutic process. For example, if the goal is set that Jackson will attend school daily for the next 30 days unless it is and excused absence, it would be my role to obtain Jackson’s school attendance records to confirm compliance and efficacy of the goal setting.
Moreover, each goal will also have a timeline for execution that is measurable. For example, if the goal is set to for Sonia and Jackson to establish a home chore schedule. The intricacies of the goal would include the expectation in terms of timing. In this example, we could have a chore schedule set by a date and we could evaluate whether it was rolled out and how often it was followed during our sessions.
By setting clear targets and measuring the effectiveness regularly, it will give …show more content…

Jackson’s school behaviors are extremely challenging for the school system to manage. As a result, the school system has been extremely apprehensive of educating Jackson. Despite the apparent behavioral concerns the school justly has with Jackson, it is his right to be educated. I will advocate for Jackson’s rights to be upheld and for the school department to fund an alternative school setting or provide tutoring. Furthermore, Jackson is biracial, issues of race and culture will be acknowledge and valued.
Mistrust is a critical obstacle for the therapist to overcome especially for those who have been oppressed, marginalized, or discriminated against. As a therapist, I would adhere to The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) code of ethics and create a therapeutic environment that respects the family and values them as the experts of their own lives.

    Throughout the American South, of many Negro’s childhood, the system of segregation determined the patterns of life. Blacks attended separate schools from whites, were barred from pools and parks where whites swam and played, from cafes and hotels where whites ate and slept. On sidewalks, they were expected to step aside for whites. It took a brave person to challenge this system, when those that did suffered a white storm of rancour. Affronting this hatred, with assistance from the Federal Government, were nine courageous school children, permitted into the 1957/8 school year at Little Rock Central High. The unofficial leader of this band of students was Ernest Green.

  • Plessy vs. Ferguson: A Case for Desegregation

    1143 Words  | 3 Pages

    Homer Plessy vs. the Honorable John H. Ferguson ignited the spark in our nation that ultimately led to the desegregation of our schools, which is shown in the equality of education that is given to all races across the country today. “The Plessy decision set the precedent that ‘separate’ facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional as long as they were ‘equal’” (“The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow”). The case of Plessy vs. Ferguson not only illuminated the racial inequality within our education system, but also brought to light how the standard of ‘separate but equal’ affected every aspect of African American lives.

  • School Segregation, The Continuing Tragedy Of Ferguson By Richard Ferguson

    Nikole Hannah-Jones, the author of the article “School Segregation, the Continuing Tragedy of Ferguson,” (2014) writes about how the Normandy school district in which Ferguson students attend, ranked at the very bottom of all Missouri schools for performance. As relayed by Hannah-Jones (2014), the Normandy school district is “among the poorest and most segregated in Missouri” (p. 2). The August 2014 shooting death of a young African-American, Michael Brown, by a white police officer, spurred riots not only in St. Louis, but also in other cities nationwide. Black and white children in the St. Louis region remain educationally divided, and the state Board of Education knows what needs to change in order for black children to gain a better

    The case started with a third-grader named Linda Brown. She was a black girl who lived just seen blocks away from an elementary school for white children. Despite living so close to that particular school, Linda had to walk more than a mile, and through a dangerous railroad switchyard, to get to the black elementary school in which she was enrolled. Oliver Brown, Linda's father tried to get Linda switched to the white school, but the principal of that school refuse to enroll her. After being told that his daughter could not attend the school that was closer to their home and that would be safer for Linda to get to and from, Mr. Brown went to the NAACP for help, and as it turned out, the NAACP had been looking for a case with strong enough merits that it could challenge the issue of segregation in pubic schools. The NAACP found other parents to join the suit and it then filed an injunction seeking to end segregation in the public schools in Kansas (Knappman, 1994, pg 466).

    In order to understand the magnitude of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, one must understand the hardships that African-Americans had to endure. For example, the case of Davis Knight “illuminate[d] racially mixed communities [,] delineate[d] the legal and social responses to attempts at racial desegregation and black enfranchisement during the era of the New Deal and World War II” in 1948 (Bynum 248). Davis Knight was a 23 year old man from Mississippi who appeared to be a “white,” but indeed was a “black man, who later married a white woman by the name of Junie Lee Spradley” (247). The case was presented to the Jones County Circuit Court where Knigh...

    First, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics Preamble (2008) states, “The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human wellbeing and help meet the basic human needs of all people.” In RCT, the goal is also to enhance wellbeing through the basic need for connection and growth-empowering relationships which is based on mutual empowerment for all people (Banks, Jordan, & Walker, 2011). Further, the NASW (2008) lists their core values to be: “service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence.” All of these values define RCT, because it emphasizes human relationships and the “five good things” (Jordan, 2008, p.2) that promote authenticity, respect, self-esteem, dignity, equality, and acts that promote relationships that empower others for an inclusive society (Banks, Jordan, & Walker,

  • African Americans And The Education System

    1054 Words  | 3 Pages

    Even though the Brown v. Board of Education was 62 years ago, African Americans are still fighting to have an equal education opportunity. “But many schools are as segregated today as they were before the ruling, and black children throughout the United States are performing at the bottom of the American educational system” (Jackson 1). Nevertheless, it took decades of hard work and struggle by numerous African Americans for a better education system. Education is the key to success, it gives people the knowledge that they need to strive and become more intelligent thinkers, which leads to more opportunities for them in the job industry. Ever since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned discrimination of any kind, African Americans have every right to have this equal educational opportunity like everyone else. But yet, they were stopped in their tracks by disapproving Americans, who confined the succession of African Americans in the education system. Now that we are in the 21st century, there’s still negligence on black’s education. The black community do not have equal education opportunities because of the lack of funding, poverty experienced by the children in the neighborhoods and society’s views of the black community.

    394). Once we recognize that something bad as occurred and who is responsible, then the next step is to take action such as an apology. In 1995, a church apologized to African Americans for overlooking and prolonging individual and systematic racism in this lifetime (Pg. 394). In educational systems, we must give an apology to the children and parents who have been victims of the segregation within the schools system. Before 1954, children who were not white were prevented from attending white schools under a policy called “separate but equal” (Pg. 208). During slavery, many African Americans were forbidden to read and write by laws and the slaves who were considered free were not allowed to enroll in public schools (Pg. 208). In this case, the children would get an apology from the United States for not allowing them to read and write and for not allowing the free slaves to have access to an education. This apology leads us to Eric’s next step where we actually make something happen in fixing the
