JESSICA
Jessica is a 34-year-old who became a paraplegic in college after a freak basketball accident. She now works in a government agency as a records clerk. While her job is secure and she earns enough to cover her bills and save some, she has been depressed for the past 10 years. She has been hospitalized on two occasions when she became suicidal, stating that her life was not worth living. She has some family support, but her father is very distant, and her mother busy with a job and children still in high school. After her accident, Jessica began smoking marijuana occasionally. Eventually, the pattern of use was every weekend and day off, and now she smokes some nearly every day. She is able to function in her job, but is listless. She believes that she cannot cope with the pain of life unless she is high most of the time. One day she comes to work smelling of pot. Her boss, who is an understanding woman, speaks with Jessica about the absolute necessity that she never come to work smelling of marijuana again, or her job will be in jeopardy.
Video:Mary: Jessica, you are a valuable and responsible part of our staff here. I have depended on you for many things over the past years, and you have always been reliable. However, today you came in smelling like marijuana, according to several people in the office and—I want to be honest with you—there is an odor of marijuana around you now. I am not here to lecture you or to report you. I want to help you. Can you tell me what is happening?
Jessica: I need this job, Mary. Will you promise me that what I tell you stays between us?
Mary: Jessica, as long as you never come in to the office smelling of pot again, this can stay between us. However, if the problems persist, I will be required to take other action. I could not allow someone to come to work drunk day after day, could I?
Jessica: No, I suppose not. OK, I trust you, and you have always been honest with me. What is bothering me is nothing new, and I am sure will not be a surprise to you. I just do not have much to live for. My life was ruined by the spinal injury. The world for me is reduced to a constant struggle to perform basic things like going to the bathroom, preparing food, getting in and out of cars, asking for help, and never being able to have the life that I dreamed of before. There have been times when I had hope that I could have a more or less normal life, or even have a modicum of happiness. But now, after fifteen years as a paraplegic, I don't see any hope. It will always be this daily struggle, and what for? I know that I am smoking too much dope, but it does help me to get through the day. For a little while, I actually feel good after getting high, and then afterwards I am just numb and I can get through the day. Is not that better than just being miserable all the time? I promise you that I won't come in to work ever again smelling like pot.
Mary: Thank you, Jessica, for being so honest with me. I think there is more ho.

❖ Literature Review—Research
Gay and Lesbian Families:
What We Know and Where to Go From Here
Serena Lambert
Idaho State University
The author reviewed the research on gay and lesbian parents and
their children. The current body of research has been clear and con-
sistent in establishing that children of gay and lesbian parents are as
psychologically healthy as their peers from heterosexual homes.
However, this comparison approach to research design appears to
have limited the scope of research on gay and lesbian families, leav-
ing much of the experience of these families yet to be investigated.
Keywords: gay men; lesbians; parenting; families
The relationships and family lives of gay and lesbian peo-ple have been the focus of much controversy in the past
decade. The legal and social implications of gay and lesbian
parents appear to have clearly affected the direction that
researchers in the fields of psychology and sociology have
taken in regard to these diverse families. As clinicians, educa-
tors, and researchers, counselors need to be aware of and
involved with issues related to lesbian and gay family life for
several reasons. First, our professional code of ethics charges
us with the ethical responsibility to demonstrate a commit-
ment to gaining knowledge, personal awareness, sensitivity,
and skills significant for working with diverse populations
(American Counseling Association, 1995; International
Association of Marriage and Family Counselors, n.d.). Coun-
selors are also in a unique position to advocate for diverse
clients and families in their communities as well as in their
practices but must possess the knowledge to do so effectively
(Eriksen, 1999). It is believed that work in this area not only
has the potential to affect the lives of our gay and lesbian cli-
ents and their children but also influences developmental and
family theory and informs public policies for the future
(Patterson, 1995, 2000; Savin-Williams & Esterberg, 2000).
This article will review the recent research regarding fami-
lies headed by gay men and lesbians. Studies reviewed in-
clude investigations of gay or lesbian versus homosexual par-
ents, sources of diversity among gay and lesbian parents, and
the personal and sociological development of the children of
gay and lesbian parents. Implications for counselors as well
as directions for future research will also be discussed.
GAY AND LESBIAN PARENTS
How Many Are Out There?
Unfortunately, accurate statistics regarding the numbers
of families headed by gay men and lesbians in our culture are
difficult to determine. Due to fear of discrimination in one or
more aspects of their lives, many gay men and lesbians have
carefully kept their sexual orientation concealed—even from
their own children in some cases (Huggins, 1989). Patterson
(2000) noted that it is es.

❖ Ethics
Ethical Considerations of Family Secret
Disclosure and Post-Session Safety Management
Kevin A. Fall
Christy Lyons
Loyola University—New Orleans
The ethical issues involved in the disclosure of family secrets in ther-
apy have been addressed in the literature, but the focus has typically
been on secrets disclosed in individual sessions. The literature
largely ignores the ethical issues surrounding in-session disclosure
and the concomitant liability of the family therapist for the post-ses-
sion well-being of the system’s members. This article explores types
of family secrets, provides a case example of in-session disclosure,
and presents ethical considerations and practice recommendations.
Keywords: family secrets; ethics; confidentiality; abuse; safety
A
family without secrets is like a two-year-old without
tantrums: a rarity. Virtually every family has secrets
involving academic problems, relationship dynamics, or even
various illegalities. Secrets permeate the family system
before therapy begins, but with the introduction of the thera-
pist, the system begins to change. The therapist ideally creates
an environment that challenges the boundaries and rules of
the system; this is the nature of therapy. As a result of the
sense of safety within the session, it is conceivable that a fam-
ily member may disclose information that has been hidden for
a wide variety of reasons. Any unearthing of hidden material
will create a disequilibrium within the system. Family thera-
pists are trained to handle the consequences of such a disclo-
sure in session and ethically lay the groundwork for timely
disclosures. Dealing with this disclosure and its impact on the
system often becomes the primary focus of the therapy, as the
perturbation caused by the disclosure can serve as a catalyst to
reorganize the system.
However, not all information is disclosed at the “perfect
time.” In fact, the idiosyncratic internal sensing of safety by
any member of the family may trigger a disclosure prema-
turely. Secrets are such an omnipresent dynamic in the life of
family systems that it seems unlikely that any family therapist
could avoid untimely disclosures. Even in these unpredict-
able moments, a disclosure creates a disequilibrium that can
be productive in the therapy process as the secret and the pro-
cess of maintaining the secret are worked through in an
atmosphere of trust and safety. The ethical question here is
two-fold: What is the therapist’s responsibility in preparing
the family members for the potential risks of counseling that
may arise from such disclosures, and what is the responsibil-
ity of the family therapist to maintain the safety of the mem-
bers after a disclosure?

Family Counselors’ (IAMFC).

CONSTRUCTING 21st-CENTURY TEACHER EDUCATION
Linda Darling-Hammond
Stanford University
Much of what teachers need to know to be successful is invisible to lay observers, leading to the view
that teaching requires little formal study and to frequent disdain for teacher education programs. The
weakness of traditional program models that are collections of largely unrelated courses reinforce this
low regard. This article argues that we have learned a great deal about how to create stronger, more ef-
fective teacher education programs. Three critical components of such programs include tight coher-
ence and integration among courses and between course work and clinical work in schools, extensive
and intensely supervised clinical work integrated with course work using pedagogies linking theory
and practice, and closer, proactive relationships with schools that serve diverse learners effectively
and develop and model good teaching. Also, schools of education should resist pressures to water
down preparation, which ultimately undermine the preparation of entering teachers, the reputation
of schools of education, and the strength of the profession.
Keywords: field-based experiences; foundations of education; student teaching; supervision; theo-
ries of teacher education
The previous articles have articulated a spectac-
ular array of things that teachers should know
and be able to do in their work. These include
understanding many things about how people
learn and how to teach effectively, including as-
pects of pedagogical content knowledge that in-
corporate language, culture, and community
contexts for learning. Teachers also need to un-
derstand the person, the spirit, of every child
and find a way to nurture that spirit. And they
need the skills to construct and manage class-
room activities efficiently, communicate well,
use technology, and reflect on their practice to
learn from and improve it continually.
The importance of powerful teaching is
increasingly important in contemporary soci-
ety. Standards for learning are now higher than
they have ever been before, as citizens and
workers need greater knowledge and skill to
survive and succeed. Education is increasingly
important to the success of both individuals and
nations, and growing evidence demonstrates
that—among all educational resources—teach-
ers’ abilities are especially crucial contributors
t o s t u d e n t s ’ le a r n i n g . F u r t h e r m o re , t h e
demands on teachers are increasing. Teachers
need not only to be able to keep order and pro-
vide useful information to students but also to
be increasingly effective in enabling a diverse
group of students to learn ever more complex
material. In previous decades, they were
expected to prepare only a small minority for
ambitious intellectual work, whereas they are
now expected to prep.

10 What does a golfer, tennis player or cricketer (or any othe.docxchristiandean12115
10 What does a golfer, tennis player or cricketer (or any other professional sportsperson) focus on to achieve high performance? They nearly always give the same answer: “Repeat my process (that is the process they have practised a million times) – replicate it under real pressure and trust in my ability” That’s why Matthew Lloyd throws the grass up under the roof at Etihad Stadium. It is why Ricky Ponting taps the bat, looks down,
looks up and mouths “watch the ball”. It’s
unnecessary for Matthew Lloyd to toss the
grass. There’s no wind under the roof – it’s
simply a routine that enables him to replicate
his process under pressure.
Ricky Pointing knows you have to watch the
ball. Ponting wants the auto pilot light in his
brain to fl ick on as he mutters “watch the ball”.
High performance in sport is achieved through focusing on your
processes, not the scores.
It is absolutely no different in local government. Our business
is governance and we need to be focusing very hard on our
governance processes. We need to learn these processes, modify
them when necessary, understand them deeply, repeat them
under pressure and trust in our capabilities to deliver. If we do
that, the scores will look after themselves.
I want to share with you my ten most important elements in
the governance process. Let me fi rst say that good governance is
the set of processes, protocols, rules, relationships and behaviours
which lead to consistently good decisions. In the end good
governance is good decisions. You could make lots of good
decisions without good governance. But you will eventually
run out of luck – eventually, bad governance process will lead
to bad decisions. Consistently good decisions come from good
governance processes and practices.
Good governance is not only a prerequisite for consistently
good decisions, it is almost the sole determinant of your
reputation. The way you govern, the ‘vibe’ in the community
and in the local paper about the way you govern is almost the
sole determinant of your reputation. Believe me, if reputation
matters to you, then drive improvements through good
governance.
So here are the ten core elements:
1. THE COUNCIL PLAN
An articulate council plan is a fundamental fi rst step to achieving
your goals. It is your set of promises to your community for a
four-year term.
Unfortunately, there are too many wrong plans:
• Claytons Plans – say too little and are too bland. Delete the
name of the council from these plans and you can’t tell whose
it is! There’s no ‘vibe’ at all.
• Agreeable Plans – where everyone gets their bit in the plan.
There’s no sense of priorities, everyone agrees with everything
in the plan and we save all the real fi ghts and confl icts to be
fought out one by one over the four-year term.
• Opposition-creating Plans – we don’t do this so often but we
sometimes ‘use the numbers’ to enable the dominant group of
councillors to achieve their goals and fail to a.

❖ Literature Review—Research
Gay and Lesbian Families:
What We Know and Where to Go From Here
Serena Lambert
Idaho State University
The author reviewed the research on gay and lesbian parents and
their children. The current body of research has been clear and con-
sistent in establishing that children of gay and lesbian parents are as
psychologically healthy as their peers from heterosexual homes.
However, this comparison approach to research design appears to
have limited the scope of research on gay and lesbian families, leav-
ing much of the experience of these families yet to be investigated.
Keywords: gay men; lesbians; parenting; families
The relationships and family lives of gay and lesbian peo-ple have been the focus of much controversy in the past
decade. The legal and social implications of gay and lesbian
parents appear to have clearly affected the direction that
researchers in the fields of psychology and sociology have
taken in regard to these diverse families. As clinicians, educa-
tors, and researchers, counselors need to be aware of and
involved with issues related to lesbian and gay family life for
several reasons. First, our professional code of ethics charges
us with the ethical responsibility to demonstrate a commit-
ment to gaining knowledge, personal awareness, sensitivity,
and skills significant for working with diverse populations
(American Counseling Association, 1995; International
Association of Marriage and Family Counselors, n.d.). Coun-
selors are also in a unique position to advocate for diverse
clients and families in their communities as well as in their
practices but must possess the knowledge to do so effectively
(Eriksen, 1999). It is believed that work in this area not only
has the potential to affect the lives of our gay and lesbian cli-
ents and their children but also influences developmental and
family theory and informs public policies for the future
(Patterson, 1995, 2000; Savin-Williams & Esterberg, 2000).
This article will review the recent research regarding fami-
lies headed by gay men and lesbians. Studies reviewed in-
clude investigations of gay or lesbian versus homosexual par-
ents, sources of diversity among gay and lesbian parents, and
the personal and sociological development of the children of
gay and lesbian parents. Implications for counselors as well
as directions for future research will also be discussed.
GAY AND LESBIAN PARENTS
How Many Are Out There?
Unfortunately, accurate statistics regarding the numbers
of families headed by gay men and lesbians in our culture are
difficult to determine. Due to fear of discrimination in one or
more aspects of their lives, many gay men and lesbians have
carefully kept their sexual orientation concealed—even from
their own children in some cases (Huggins, 1989). Patterson
(2000) noted that it is es.

❖ Ethics
Ethical Considerations of Family Secret
Disclosure and Post-Session Safety Management
Kevin A. Fall
Christy Lyons
Loyola University—New Orleans
The ethical issues involved in the disclosure of family secrets in ther-
apy have been addressed in the literature, but the focus has typically
been on secrets disclosed in individual sessions. The literature
largely ignores the ethical issues surrounding in-session disclosure
and the concomitant liability of the family therapist for the post-ses-
sion well-being of the system’s members. This article explores types
of family secrets, provides a case example of in-session disclosure,
and presents ethical considerations and practice recommendations.
Keywords: family secrets; ethics; confidentiality; abuse; safety
A
family without secrets is like a two-year-old without
tantrums: a rarity. Virtually every family has secrets
involving academic problems, relationship dynamics, or even
various illegalities. Secrets permeate the family system
before therapy begins, but with the introduction of the thera-
pist, the system begins to change. The therapist ideally creates
an environment that challenges the boundaries and rules of
the system; this is the nature of therapy. As a result of the
sense of safety within the session, it is conceivable that a fam-
ily member may disclose information that has been hidden for
a wide variety of reasons. Any unearthing of hidden material
will create a disequilibrium within the system. Family thera-
pists are trained to handle the consequences of such a disclo-
sure in session and ethically lay the groundwork for timely
disclosures. Dealing with this disclosure and its impact on the
system often becomes the primary focus of the therapy, as the
perturbation caused by the disclosure can serve as a catalyst to
reorganize the system.
However, not all information is disclosed at the “perfect
time.” In fact, the idiosyncratic internal sensing of safety by
any member of the family may trigger a disclosure prema-
turely. Secrets are such an omnipresent dynamic in the life of
family systems that it seems unlikely that any family therapist
could avoid untimely disclosures. Even in these unpredict-
able moments, a disclosure creates a disequilibrium that can
be productive in the therapy process as the secret and the pro-
cess of maintaining the secret are worked through in an
atmosphere of trust and safety. The ethical question here is
two-fold: What is the therapist’s responsibility in preparing
the family members for the potential risks of counseling that
may arise from such disclosures, and what is the responsibil-
ity of the family therapist to maintain the safety of the mem-
bers after a disclosure?

CONSTRUCTING 21st-CENTURY TEACHER EDUCATION
Linda Darling-Hammond
Stanford University
Much of what teachers need to know to be successful is invisible to lay observers, leading to the view
that teaching requires little formal study and to frequent disdain for teacher education programs. The
weakness of traditional program models that are collections of largely unrelated courses reinforce this
low regard. This article argues that we have learned a great deal about how to create stronger, more ef-
fective teacher education programs. Three critical components of such programs include tight coher-
ence and integration among courses and between course work and clinical work in schools, extensive
and intensely supervised clinical work integrated with course work using pedagogies linking theory
and practice, and closer, proactive relationships with schools that serve diverse learners effectively
and develop and model good teaching. Also, schools of education should resist pressures to water
down preparation, which ultimately undermine the preparation of entering teachers, the reputation
of schools of education, and the strength of the profession.
Keywords: field-based experiences; foundations of education; student teaching; supervision; theo-
ries of teacher education
The previous articles have articulated a spectac-
ular array of things that teachers should know
and be able to do in their work. These include
understanding many things about how people
learn and how to teach effectively, including as-
pects of pedagogical content knowledge that in-
corporate language, culture, and community
contexts for learning. Teachers also need to un-
derstand the person, the spirit, of every child
and find a way to nurture that spirit. And they
need the skills to construct and manage class-
room activities efficiently, communicate well,
use technology, and reflect on their practice to
learn from and improve it continually.
The importance of powerful teaching is
increasingly important in contemporary soci-
ety. Standards for learning are now higher than
they have ever been before, as citizens and
workers need greater knowledge and skill to
survive and succeed. Education is increasingly
important to the success of both individuals and
nations, and growing evidence demonstrates
that—among all educational resources—teach-
ers’ abilities are especially crucial contributors
t o s t u d e n t s ’ le a r n i n g . F u r t h e r m o re , t h e
demands on teachers are increasing. Teachers
need not only to be able to keep order and pro-
vide useful information to students but also to
be increasingly effective in enabling a diverse
group of students to learn ever more complex
material. In previous decades, they were
expected to prepare only a small minority for
ambitious intellectual work, whereas they are
now expected to prep.

10 What does a golfer, tennis player or cricketer (or any other professional sportsperson) focus on to achieve high performance? They nearly always give the same answer: “Repeat my process (that is the process they have practised a million times) – replicate it under real pressure and trust in my ability” That’s why Matthew Lloyd throws the grass up under the roof at Etihad Stadium. It is why Ricky Ponting taps the bat, looks down,
looks up and mouths “watch the ball”. It’s
unnecessary for Matthew Lloyd to toss the
grass. There’s no wind under the roof – it’s
simply a routine that enables him to replicate
his process under pressure.
Ricky Pointing knows you have to watch the
ball. Ponting wants the auto pilot light in his
brain to fl ick on as he mutters “watch the ball”.
High performance in sport is achieved through focusing on your
processes, not the scores.
It is absolutely no different in local government. Our business
is governance and we need to be focusing very hard on our
governance processes. We need to learn these processes, modify
them when necessary, understand them deeply, repeat them
under pressure and trust in our capabilities to deliver. If we do
that, the scores will look after themselves.
I want to share with you my ten most important elements in
the governance process. Let me fi rst say that good governance is
the set of processes, protocols, rules, relationships and behaviours
which lead to consistently good decisions. In the end good
governance is good decisions. You could make lots of good
decisions without good governance. But you will eventually
run out of luck – eventually, bad governance process will lead
to bad decisions. Consistently good decisions come from good
governance processes and practices.
Good governance is not only a prerequisite for consistently
good decisions, it is almost the sole determinant of your
reputation. The way you govern, the ‘vibe’ in the community
and in the local paper about the way you govern is almost the
sole determinant of your reputation. Believe me, if reputation
matters to you, then drive improvements through good
governance.
So here are the ten core elements:
1. THE COUNCIL PLAN
An articulate council plan is a fundamental fi rst step to achieving
your goals. It is your set of promises to your community for a
four-year term.
Unfortunately, there are too many wrong plans:
• Claytons Plans – say too little and are too bland. Delete the
name of the council from these plans and you can’t tell whose
it is! There’s no ‘vibe’ at all.
• Agreeable Plans – where everyone gets their bit in the plan.
There’s no sense of priorities, everyone agrees with everything
in the plan and we save all the real fi ghts and confl icts to be
fought out one by one over the four-year term.
• Opposition-creating Plans – we don’t do this so often but we
sometimes ‘use the numbers’ to enable the dominant group of
councillors to achieve their goals and fail to a.

TEACHING EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2016 19
In the past 2 decades, researchers
(often working closely with parents,
teachers, and other school staff
members) have conducted studies that
have substantially increased
understanding how to effectively teach
children and adolescents with
intellectual disability (ID) to read. This
research focus has been fueled by
increased societal expectations for
individuals with ID, advocacy efforts,
and legislative priorities (e.g.,
strengthened accountability standards).
Findings from this body of work
indicate that children and adolescents
with ID can obtain higher levels of
reading achievement than previously
anticipated (Allor, Mathes, Roberts,
Cheatham, & Al Otaiba, 2014). Recent
research also suggests that the historic
focus on functional reading (e.g., signs,
restaurant words) for this population of
learners is likely too limited of a focus
for many (Browder et al., 2009).
Research outcomes suggest that
integrating components of traditional
reading instruction (e.g., phonics,
phonemic awareness) into programs
for students with ID will lead to
increases in independent reading skills
for many (Allor, Al Otaiba, Ortiz, &
Folsom, 2014). These increased reading
abilities are likely to lead to greater
postsecondary outcomes, including
employment, independence, and
quality of life. Unfortunately, many
teachers remain unsure of how to best
design and deliver reading intervention
for students with ID.
We offer a set of 10 research-based
tips for special education teachers,
general education teachers, and other
members of IEP teams to consider when
planning literacy instruction for students
with ID in order to maximize student
outcomes. For each tip, we describe our
rationale for the recommendation and
provide implementation guidance. Our
Literacy Instruction and Support
Planning Tool can be used by team
members to organize information to
guide planning. Our aim is to provide
educators and IEP team members with a
framework for reflecting on current
reading practices in order to make
research-based adjustments that are
likely to improve student outcomes.
The Conceptual Model of Literacy
Browder and colleagues (2009) proposed
a conceptual model for early literacy
instruction for students with severe
developmental disabilities. We believe
their framework provides guidance for
designing and delivering literacy
instruction for all students wit.

I have attached the PICOT and the first 10 points (DNP 815) assignment. This is a continuation of that assignment. Please read the attachments
The following needs to be addressed:
Please note the followings: The introduction and the literature review are complete and thorough. The problem statement is written clearly PICOT is clear and very good Sample:
· How will you determine the sample size?
· What are the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the subjects? Methodology: Why is the selected methodology is appropriate? Please justify!
· Data collection approach needs to be clear. How will you collect your data? What is needed here is to describe the process of collecting data form signing the informed consent until completing the measuring.
· Data analysis-What test will you use to answer your research question?
Clinical/PICOT Questions:
“In adult patients with CVC at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, does interventional staff education about hub hygiene provided to RN’s who access the CVC impact CLABSI rates compared to standard care over a one-month period?”
P: Patients with Central Venous Catheters
I: Staff re-education related to Hygiene of the hub
C: Other hospitals
O: Reduce probability of CLABSIs
T: Two months
“In Patients > 65 years of age with central line catheters at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, how does staff training of key personnel and reinforcement of central line catheter hub hygiene after its insertion, along with the apt cleansing of the insertion site, before every approach compared with other area hospitals, reduce the incidence of CLABSIs (Central Line Associated Blood-stream Infections) over a one-month period?”
P: Patients > 65 years of age with a Central line

1. I used central Missouri as an example, replace with a description of your site.
2. While you might be interested in CLASBI rates as a primary variable, there are other patient outcomes that would also be important to consider
3. Ensure you can find validity and reliability measures on CLASBI rates if you cannot, we need to determine another question to help
4. How are your two comparison groups different, as they are currently stated the groups seem very much the same, could you state, standard care instead of pre and post intervention assessments?

10 Most Common Errors in Suicide Assessment/Intervention
Robert Neimeyer & Angela Pfeiffer
1. Avoidance of Strong Feelings – Diverting discussions away from powerful, intense
emotion and toward a more abstract or intellectualized exchange. These responses keep
interactions on a purely cognitive level and prevent exploration of the more profound
feelings of distress, which may hold the key to successful treatment. Do not retreat to
professionalism, advice-giving, or passivity when faced with intense depression, grief, or
fear.
• Do not analyze and ask why they feel that way.
• USE empathy! “With all the hurt you’ve been experiencing it must be impossible
to hold those tears in.”
• Tears and sobbing are often met with silence of tangential issues instead of
putting into words what the client is mutely expressing: “With all the pain you’re
feeling, it must be impossible to hold those tears in.”
• “I don’t think anyone really cares whether I live or die.” Helpers often shift to
discussing why/asking questions as opposed to reflecting emotional content.
2. Superficial Reassurance – trivial responses to clients’ expressions of acute distress and
hopelessness can do more harm than good. Rather than reassuring clients, these responses
risk alienating them and deepening their feelings of being isolated in their distress.
• Attempts to emphasize more positive or optimistic aspects of the situation: “But
you’re so young and have so much to live for!”
• Premature offering of a prepackaged meaning for the client’s difficulties: “Well
life works in mysterious ways. Maybe this is life’s way of challenging you.”
• Directly contradicting the client’s protest of anguish: “Things can’t be all that
bad.”
3. Professionalism – Insulating or protecting by distancing and detaching from the brutal,
exhausting realities of clients’ lives by seeking refuge in the comfortable boundaries of role
definition. The exaggerated air of objectivity/disinterest implies a hierarchical relationship,
which may disempower the client. Although intended to put a person at ease, this can come
across as disinterest or hierarchical. Empathy is a more facilitative response.
• “My thoughts are so awful I could never tell anyone” is often met with, “You can
tell me. I’m a professional” as opposed to the riskier, empathic reply.
4. Inadequate Assessment of Suicidal Intent – Implicit negation of suicide threat by
responding to indirect and direct expressions of risk with avoidance or reassurance rather
than a prompt assessment of the level of intent, planning, and lethality. Most common
among physicians and master’s level counselors – due to time pressures, personal theories
or discomfort with intense feelings.
• What they’ve been thinking, For how long, Specific plans/means, Previous

10 Customer Acquisition and Relationship Management
Dmitry Kalinovsky/iStock/Thinkstock
Patronage by loyal customers yields 65 percent of a typical business’ volume.
—American Management Association
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Identify how organizational growth is best achieved by an HCO, and state the effect of the product life cycle
on an organization’s revenues.
• Discuss several approaches that an HCO can use to attract new customers, or patients.
• Delineate the premises upon which customer relationship management is based.
• Explain the advantages of database marketing, and identify ways for an organization to use a marketing
database.
• Provide examples of how an HCO can effectively manage real and virtual customer interactions.
Section 10.1Organizational Growth
Introduction
This chapter focuses on how to attract and keep patients through understanding and meeting
their needs. The long-term success of an HCO depends on its ability to attract new patients
and turn them into loyal customers who not only return for needed services, but recommend
the HCO’s services to others. This is especially important because of the nature of the life cycle
for products and services, from their introduction to their decline. Attracting new customers
and keeping existing ones involves interacting internally and externally with patients, analyz-
ing data on current patients, and managing real and virtual interactions with patients. Manag-
ing relationships with patients helps to ensure that patients stay informed and feel connected
to the HCO through its internal and external customer relationship efforts.
10.1 Organizational Growth
Most organizations have growth as a basic goal. Growth means an increase in revenue and
a greater impact on the communities served. Growth also creates opportunities for staff to
advance and take on new responsibilities. While many activities can help an HCO grow, the
most important is the development of an effective marketing plan to provide a consistent
platform for the organization’s visibility and to brand the HCO as an attractive option for
medical services. The development of an effective marketing plan was stressed in Chapter 8
as a basic marketing need for an HCO: that is, to inform new and existing customers of the
organization’s services and to persuade them to continue using or to try using these services.
Product/Service Life Cycles
Like people, products and services have a life cycle. The term product life cycle refers to the
stages that a product or service goes through from the time it is introduced until it is taken
off the market or “dies.” The stages of the product life cycle, illustrated in Figure 10.1, usually
include the following descriptions:
• Introduction—The stage of researching, developing, and launching the product or
service.
• Growth—The stage when revenues are increasing at a fast rate.
• M.
10 ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE (FROM A TO Z) 1 PLOT (seri.docxchristiandean12115
10 ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE (FROM A TO Z)
1 PLOT (series of events which make-up a story)
A 5-POINT PLOT SEQUENCE:
Exposition: initial part of a story where readers are exposed to setting and characters.
Situation: event in the story which kicks the action forward and begs for an outcome.
Complication: difficulties faced by characters as they experience internal and external conflicts.
Climax: watershed moment when it becomes apparent that major conflicts will be resolved.
Resolution: (Denouement): tying up of the loose ends of the story.
B SUB-PLOTS: PLOTS BENEATH AND AROUND THE MAJOR PLOT.
Foreshadowing: hints and clues of plot.
Flashback: portion of a plot when a character relives a past experience.
Frame story: plot which begins in the present, quickly goes to the past for story, then returns.
Episodic plot: a large plot sequence that is made up of a series of minor plot sequences.
Plausibility: likelihood that certain events within a plot can occur.
Soap Opera: multiple stories told along the sequence and spaced to sustain continual interest.
2 POINT OF VIEW (eyes through which a story is told)
C First Person major (participant major): narrator is the major character in the story.
First Person minor (participant minor): narrator is a minor character in the story.
Third Person omniscient (non-participant omniscient): narrator is outside the story and capable of
seeing into the heart, mind and motivations of all characters.
Third Person limited (non-participant limited): narrator is outside the story and capable of seeing, at
most, into the heart, mind, and motivations of one character. Narrator is
objective if not omniscient.
3 SETTING (time and place of a story, both physical and psychological)
D Physical (external) Setting: the time and place of a story, general and specific.
Psychological (internal) Setting: mood, tone, and temper of story.
E Major Tempers: Romanticism: man is free to choose against moral, spiritual backdrops. If you make
good decisions, you will be rewarded. There is a God that is in control
Existentialism: man is free to choose absent backdrops other than his own. If he feels it is right, then it is
right.
Naturalism: man is largely trapped, a cog in the impersonal machinery. He has no real way of
changing his circumstances.
Realism: eclectic view, but leaning toward the naturalistic position. Sometimes good things happen to
bad people, and sometimes bad things happen to good people. That is just the way it is.
F Other Tempers: Classicism: Man is free, but appears to be trapped due to conflicting codes.
Transcendentalism: Offshoot of romanticism, nature is a window to divine.
Nihilism: Fallout of either extreme existentialism or naturalism. Life is horrible and painful. It
lacks meaning.
4 CONFLICT (nature of the problems faced)
G Four Universal Conflicts: Person versus self

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. JESSICA
Jessica is a 34-year-old who became a paraplegic in college
after a freak basketball accident. She now works in a
government agency as a records clerk. While her job is secure
and she earns enough to cover her bills and save some, she has
been depressed for the past 10 years. She has been hospitalized
on two occasions when she became suicidal, stating that her life
was not worth living. She has some family support, but her
father is very distant, and her mother busy with a job and
children still in high school. After her accident, Jessica began
smoking marijuana occasionally. Eventually, the pattern of use
was every weekend and day off, and now she smokes some
nearly every day. She is able to function in her job, but is
listless. She believes that she cannot cope with the pain of life
unless she is high most of the time. One day she comes to work
smelling of pot. Her boss, who is an understanding woman,
speaks with Jessica about the absolute necessity that she never
come to work smelling of marijuana again, or her job will be in
jeopardy.
Video:Mary: Jessica, you are a valuable and responsible part of
our staff here. I have depended on you for many things over the
past years, and you have always been reliable. However, today
you came in smelling like marijuana, according to several
people in the office and—I want to be honest with you—there is
an odor of marijuana around you now. I am not here to lecture
you or to report you. I want to help you. Can you tell me what is
happening?
Jessica: I need this job, Mary. Will you promise me that what I
tell you stays between us?
Mary: Jessica, as long as you never come in to the office
smelling of pot again, this can stay between us. However, if the
problems persist, I will be required to take other action. I could
not allow someone to come to work drunk day after day, could
I?
2. Jessica: No, I suppose not. OK, I trust you, and you have always
been honest with me. What is bothering me is nothing new, and
I am sure will not be a surprise to you. I just do not have much
to live for. My life was ruined by the spinal injury. The world
for me is reduced to a constant struggle to perform basic things
like going to the bathroom, preparing food, getting in and out of
cars, asking for help, and never being able to have the life that I
dreamed of before. There have been times when I had hope that
I could have a more or less normal life, or even have a modicum
of happiness. But now, after fifteen years as a paraplegic, I
don't see any hope. It will always be this daily struggle, and
what for? I know that I am smoking too much dope, but it does
help me to get through the day. For a little while, I actually feel
good after getting high, and then afterwards I am just numb and
I can get through the day. Is not that better than just being
miserable all the time? I promise you that I won't come in to
work ever again smelling like pot.
Mary: Thank you, Jessica, for being so honest with me. I think
there is more hope that you are seeing now. Would you be
willing to consider counseling for help?

in the tribe who notices John's distress and goes to talk with
him.
Video:Henry: John, you have done really good work helping our
people here on the reservation. So many look up to you as a role
3. model, especially the boys. You are kind to them and take time
to make them feel important. You are a valuable member of our
tribe. But John, I am wondering if there is something bothering
you.
John: Henry, thank you for your kind words. I am really OK.
I've been feeling a bit down about the lack of funds to help all
those who need it. The BIA in DC does not release the money
that has already been allocated to us. Those guys would rather
spend it on fancy offices and parties while our people starve.
Henry: I do not doubt it, and you've been effective in working
to improve these programs. But John, I am asking about how
you feel inside. You seem to be troubled. Is there anything I
could help with?
John: I do not know. I suppose it is kind of stupid, but I have
been feeling as though my life is already over. I did not achieve
the career that I wanted. I am back here on the rez and life will
be pretty much the same from here on. Of course I want to help,
but I do not see much ahead for myself. I can not even play
pickup games of basketball anymore because I am too out of
shape and get tired too easily. I am only 28! This should not be
happening so soon. As far at the job goes, we will be fighting
with the white government for all of our lives, and they will be
trying to break all of their treaty obligations just the way
they've always done. Our children will always be struggling and
our elderly without the care they need.
Henry: John, things are not so bad. They are getting better. Our
people have much more pride and there are many programs that
are helping. John, I want to speak to you bluntly. I am worried
about your drinking. It seems to be increasing, and you do not
look as healthy as you did a year ago.
John: Henry, I respect you as one of our elders and thank you
for your concern. But my drinking is my own business. It helps
me to get through the night, to be able to sleep, and to have a
little fun. It is not a problem.
Henry: John, your drinking is my business. I do not want to see
you suffering. You have got to find a different way to deal with
4. the destruction of our traditional culture. We are working
towards rebuilding and teaching our young to feel good about
themselves and our traditions. And alcohol plays no part in that.
You can be a leader of our people. You have had success with
the language program. Do not give up on these things. Believe
in yourself and our people.
LEVI
Levi is a 35-year-old man who is HIV positive. He works as an
auto mechanic. Since learning that he was HIV positive 10 years
ago, Levi has been on medications that have stopped the
progression to AIDS, and Levi is fairly healthy. However, the
emotional toll has been much more serious. Levi has withdrawn
from most social interactions. He has not told anyone in his
family, and has fallen away from most of his friends. He has
been able to obtain a variety of medications for anxiety, and
often takes more than the prescribed dosage. In addition, he has
had a cocaine habit that he views as his one area of excitement
in life. His pattern of use is on weekends, or sometimes as
a pick-me-up to get to work. He tends to use the anti-anxiety
medications in the evening to help him relax and sleep. He sees
his life slipping away in what has come to feel like an
increasingly empty lifestyle. He calls a counselor to talk about
his problems.
Video:
Dan, thanks for fitting me into your schedule. I have been
feeling more down for the past few months, and do not really
know how to deal with it. As for as being HIV positive, my
physical health is alright, but my mental health is not so good. I
spend most of my time by myself, except for work, and at work
I am essentially a cog in a machine. I actually enjoy work
because I almost lose a sense of time when I just concentrate on
fixing an engine. But when I leave work, life comes crashing in
on me. I do not have anyone special in my life. As you know, I
made a decision to be celibate after finding out I was HIV
positive. But I still have desire, not only for sex but, more
importantly, for love. I have tried all kinds of hobbies: hiking,
5. biking, camping, running, fishing, music, and even building
models. But in some ways all those things just feel like marking
time while my life goes by. I thought I was over it, but for the
past few months the thoughts have been keeping me awake
again, hours of regretting that I am positive, wishing that it
somehow magically had not happened, that I could have a
normal life. Then it all comes crashing back in on me. I can not
have a normal life. Having sex with someone is a potential
death sentence for them. I could not live with that, nor could I
even enjoy the sex.
I've been to see you off and on for the past 10 years, but I need
to tell you that I have not been honest with you about my drug
use. I use tranquilizers to get through the weekdays, and then
cocaine for a little excitement on the weekends. It is almost like
I have a relationship with the drugs. But it is not working for
me anymore. The cocaine just does not feel as good as it used
to, and I been feeling more anxious and jittery. There have a
few times recently that I was confused, even thinking that
people were outside the door who were going to hurt me when
there was no one there. Once I thought I heard them talking.
That just about shot my heart through the roof! I have felt weak
at times and I have been losing weight. I think that I might need
some serious help.
ROBERTA
Roberta is a 16-year-old African American, a high school
sophomore whose grades have recently been dropping after
having been a high achiever in elementary, junior high, and in
her freshmen year. An excellent athlete, Roberta abruptly quit
the swimming team last week. Her parents, teachers, and school
counselor are all at a loss to explain the changes. Roberta had a
serious injury to her leg this past October, and was treated with
muscle relaxants and pain medications. After a lot of inquiry
from the adults in her life, Roberta reports that she has
continued to use pain medications because they help her to feel
better, and that she is obtaining these through friends, spending
nearly all of the money she makes from her part-time job.
6. Video:
I just hate not being able to be involved in sports. It was my
life. I want to swim, but it hurts my leg too much. If I could get
more medications to help, I could be able to be on the team, but
the doctors make excuses for not renewing my perscriptions.
Those old fossils are upset because I have been getting meds
from my friends. Well, what am I supposed to do? Hello! If the
docs would give me the drugs I need to function, then I would
not have to go to my friends. You are a school counselor. Are
not you supposed to advocate for us? Can you help me to get
these prescriptions? If I could get through this pain, then I
would be able to swim again. I am sure that after a month or so
I would be back in good shape. The swimming season might be
over, but soccer will be starting soon, and I would be ready for
that. But without the medication, I just can not do the
conditioning exercise that I need. Do not you see how stupid it
is that they will not give me the meds? I know that you can help
me. You understand kids better than the doctors or my parents.
Will not you explain to them that they are holding me back? I
mean, I have got a good job, I am dependable. Yeah, my grades
have dropped some, but that is because I am in such pain all the
time. If they all want me to get my grades back up, then give me
the damn meds so that I will be able to concentrate.
STEVE
Steve is a freshman in college in a regional metropolitan center.
Steve is increasingly isolated in his dorm room and has been
missing a lot of classes. He grew up in a more rural setting, and
the urban center is somewhat intimidating to him. He is having
difficulty making friends. He has not yet chosen a major, but is
very interested in music and political science. He has begun
more experimentation with drugs and alcohol. While he feels
happier when he is high, his drug use has not yet had any real
negative consequences for him. Andy, the dorm student
counselor, notices Steve's distress and goes to talk with him
about his life.
Video:Andy: Hey Steve, what is going on man? You are kind of
7. isolating yourself in your dorm room here. How are you
feeling?
Steve: Oh, I have just been more tired lately. It is no big deal—
I am fine.
Andy: Steve, as an RA to look out for everyone here, and I am
worried about you. You have been getting pretty drunk and high
a lot, and you seem to be kind of sad. Could we just talk about
it some?
Steve: Well, you are right. I have been using a lot more than in
the past. Getting drunk or high is not good for me, I know, but
it helps to calm me down. I do not seem to fit in with any group
here. Back home I had friends and was busy all the time. Here I
just do not get it. I am nervous and others students do not seem
comfortable with me. When I try to talk to people, I do not
know what to say, and I feel sort of stupid.
Andy: Yeah, in a new climate everything kind of changes and
you have to get acclimated. But there are a lot of groups that
would welcome you here, Steve.
Steve: Maybe you could give me some help with that. Another
thing is that three weeks ago my parents told me that they are
getting a divorce. It is really bothering me. They have been
fighting for years, and maybe it is for the best, but I have a
younger sister and brother at home who are all broken up over it
and I am not there to help them. Dad has been leaving the house
a lot and is back to drinking. Mom is just depressed. It is
really hell for the younger kids. I do not know if I should even
be here. Maybe it would be better for me to leave school for a
while. What do you think?
TOMMY
Tommy, a 22-year-old, has just returned from a tour of duty in
Iraq. During his time there, he was nearly killed by a IED that
destroyed his vehicle and killed two others. Tommy was in the
hospital for a concussion after the accident, and was never able
to return to his unit. He is married and has a two-year-old
daughter. Since returning, Tommy has been going to bars during
the day and often drinking until passing out at home during the
8. evenings. His wife, Angie, is extremely alarmed, not only for
Tommy but for herself and their child, as Tommy gets very
angry at times. While Tommy refuses help, Angie has contacted
a veteran's organization about the situation.
Video:
I am only here because my wife and family think I should try
this. They are overreacting. I am just going through an
adjustment period and I will be fine. It is normal, do not you
think? I was over in that hell hole for a year, saw my buddies
killed and maimed, come back home where my wife and family
treat me like some sort of crazy person, and on top of that, no
one will offer this veteran a job. I go and sacrifice myself for
this country and then it treats me like a piece of crap. Of course
I am angry—it is normal. If I were not angry about it, then there
would be something wrong with me, right? I was in the hospital
for months recovering from the IED, but they took good care of
me and I am fine now. People want to put me down by accusing
me of being nuts, but they just use it as an excuse to control me.
I just need time by myself, and that is why I go to the bar. Some
of my friends are there. They are the only ones who
understand—some of them were over in Iraq too. I feel more
safe when I am with them. I do not get any pressure from them.
We can just sit and be quiet together. Sometimes the memories
of what happened just replay in my head over and over like a
movie. You might think it is bad, but the alcohol works for
stopping that horror film.
TONY
After a year in a half-way house, Tony has been released on a
three-year parole for a sentence involving distribution of
amphetamines. While in prison, and again in the half-way
house, Tony participated in chemical dependency programs.
Tony has neither the means nor the intention to use meth again,
but now that he is associating with some of his old friends, he
has been offered meth and he is having a hard time resisting the
temptation. He has gone to his counselor to ask for assistance.
Video:
9. Well, I came in to talk with you because I am really worried. I
am trying not to use, but it is getting really hard to resist. No
one will talk with me except for all my friends who are using.
My job sucks, I live in a rat-hole, and neither my wife nor my
kids will have anything to do with me. Life just seems hopeless.
Sometimes I think about ending it, but I do not really want to do
that. I am having so much trouble sleeping that I a zombie at
work, and I am making mistakes that might get me fired and
violate my parole for my job. I do not enjoy or look forward to
anything. It is hard to see my life getting any better. I am losing
weight. I do not have any energy. I get to thinking that if I
could just use a little, I would have the energy focus to do well,
and feel energized in my life. And at the same time I already
know that it is a fantasy, and that if I use again my life will go
down the toilet. I feel trapped. That is why I came to you. So,
what should I do?
ANDREA
Andrea is a 17-year-old Hispanic in the U.S. illegally. She
crossed the Mexican border with her mother last year. Mama is
finding sporadic work. At times Andrea has been able to work
with her mother. However, there are many days when Andrea is
left by herself in the rundown building where they live with
other illegals. Various drugs have been offered to Andrea.
Mama has on a couple of occasions returned to find Andrea
passed out on the couch next to a bottle of aerosol spray. Mama
doesn't know what to do to help Andrea. She has gone to the
local Migrant Council to ask for help.
Video:
Sometimes I like it here in the U.S., and at other times, no. We
never have enough money, and people are always asking my
mother for money. There is no water in our building, and most
of the time no electricity. There is nothing to do. We are afraid
to ask for help because of being illegal. We had so much hope
when we dreamed of coming here. But we had to pay everything
to the Coyotes to get across the border so we had nothing when
we got here. My mama tries her best. She cleans houses.
10. Sometimes I help her. But other days I am left here by myself,
with nothing to do and no money. So I talk with other people
here, and they are mostly out of work with no money too. I
started smoking pot with some of the other young people. Some
of them are mean, so I try to stay away. But I get so bored that I
have to find somebody to talk with. My friend Angela is good to
talk with, but she has bad drug habits. A couple of times I have
huffed with her, but I really do not like it that much and will
not do it anymore. Mama is so worried about me, and I think it
is ridiculous. It was her idea for me to come in here (to the
Migrant Council). I am really alright, if we just had a little
more money.
