Critical Analysis: Chapter 8 Review including NC Professional School Social Work Standards

INTRODUCTION

This critical analysis will reflect the information parallel in Chapter 8 and NC School Social Workers Professional Standards (4). The reader will be able to better understand the standards as they relate to "societal issues" in schools. Chapter 8 covers the challenges that many schools face when dealing with students of varying biopsychosocial constraints. Jarolmen, 2014 reflected upon a variety of social problems of said student populations that can disable or even paralyze individual learning. The groups of students most mentioned within this chapter are homeless children, immigrants/undocumented students, military students, incarcerated …show more content…

The reason that this numbers seems to increase is simple. The parents of these students are faced with the undying high unemployment rates in the US. The caretaker is responsible for the wellbeing of their minor children but cannot provide to due poverty and unavailable resources. The parents are also responsible for educating their children. However, they are unable to meet the demands of the local, state and federal laws due to lack of finance, health, and housing. This problem begins to snowball causing an increase in social welfare cases. These children sometimes go without being educated. The author attends that more than 50% of these children are held back. School officials should be able to counter those problems by soliciting external resources such as "therapeutic interventions", summer enrichment programs, and tutoring should be provided to the homeless student (Hicks-Coolick, Burnside,-Eaton, & Peters as cited in Jarolmen, …show more content…

The author directs bullying as aggressive behavior can take place on internet, at school, social places, even home (Jarolmen, 2014). The author cites Yerger &Gehret, 2011 as they elaborate on the causes of bullying. School social workers must implement peer groups, promote student awareness, and empower victims of bullying. As a professional school social worker, you will need to "Bully Proof Your School"; programs such as PATHS, Safe School Ambassador (SSA) will allow you to do such (Yerger & Gehret, 2011 as cited in Jarolmen, 2014).

    Chapter 11 was a good chapter. The doctors are working on math with Mila they are also working on how to search things on the computer. I do not think it is important for Mila to learn these skills because she should be learning how to be more like a human than a dolphin. If I were the doctors I would be teaching her of more human things than of math and searching on the computer. I chose these things because since she is more used to dolphins than us humans so she should learn more human things.

    Coming into this analysis of chapter six was talking about starting to get the project off the ground and the parts Mr. West and the Microkids played in the project. When Mr. West was working on the project he started to learn more and something that stood out to me was that not everything worth doing is worth doing well, there is no such thing as a perfect design. When I read that part from the text it touch home to me because it’s just like in life not everything in life is worth doing or even perfect. Now the Microkids had an important part in the project, there job was to write the microcode and have it done by a certain time. Now one way they thought they could improve performance on the project was through competition.

This is a three-tiered program focusing on three elements: academics, behavioral, and environmental conditions where problems can occur.

  • School To Prison Pipeline Case Study

    Special Needs Paper Social Needs Description of the School to Prison Pipeline Unfair punishments and policies in a school setting ultimately disenfranchise minority youth of their civil rights and liberties. In the case of the “school to prison pipeline”, minority youths’ right to an education is being violated, creating a social need for developing healthy and fair discipline procedures (Porter, 2015). This social need can be addressed by properly assessing minority youth who display unacceptable behavior. Instead of using extreme punishment, such as expulsion and out of school suspensions to deflect inappropriate behavior, other methods can be set in place such as counseling sessions or after school programs geared towards encouraging appropriate behavior.

  • Chapter 7 Summary

    Summary Chapter 7 delves deeper into the content area reading requirements of middle and high schools. In particular, the complexity of reading as well as the length of reading assignments is highlighted as a challenge that students must be properly equipped to address as they progress through content area learning at the secondary level. Additionally, content area teachers, whose expertise is a driving factor in their decision to teach the content and whom already have a structured schema of content, also must contend with the schemata construct that students are undertaking in addition to student engagement and interest in the content. Ruddell (2008) notes that this challenge presents three central demands of academic learning that students will need to ultimately master: (1) the ability to learn from text; (2) the ability to satisfy a criterion of knowledge acquisition; and (3) the ability to increasingly become more competent strategic readers of content text

  • Summary Of Chapter 2

    After reading chapter 2, teachers can have an impact on the students’ lives. One thing that stood out for me in the chapter was on page 18, the authors wrote, “Regardless of the subject matter you happened to be teaching, you are making an impact on your students through your behavior” (Anspaugh & Ezell, 2013). The pros of teachers being role models for healthy living in a classroom is that teacher have the opportunity to portray a positive healthy image through the way they eat and their lifestyles. For example, the teacher can have fruits as snacks and maybe having a salad or a turkey sandwich for lunch. Furthermore, instead of drinking soda or sugary drinks, the teacher can drink water or fruit infused water to show that they are trying

    A main part of Chapter 1 which seemed quite unbelievable was how the Jews didn't act upon the news of the Germans whatsoever. In the span of Chapter 1, the Jewish community in Sighet received news about the Germans passing the Hungarian border with ease. They did not worry about it. An event occurred in which all foreign Jews (including Moishe the Beadle) were expelled from Sighet. Although the Sighet citizens were concerned at first, they just ignored.

  • Do Bystanders Play In Bullying

    742 Words  | 3 Pages

    For every bully there is a victim. Usually when we think about bullying events, we only think about the bully and the victim that were involved, but what about the bystander? Bystanders play a crucial role in what goes on in the event of bullying, because they are either a part of the problem or a part of the solution when it comes down to how they react in bullying situations. Most bystanders do not realize the role that they play in bullying and how they can be the solution to bullying rather than being the problem. The thesis statement in, “Bullying in Schools: An Overview,” states that “In dealing with bullies, adults in schools must understand that the problem lies with the bully, not the victim, and act accordingly.”(Lee
