Task Groups in the School Setting: Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Learning Patricia Van Velsor San Francisco State University Through social and emotional learning (SEL), individuals develop skill in negotiating relationships successfully and expressing emotions appropriately. The socially and emotionally intelligent child reaps benefits in school and later life. Counselors are best qualified to promote children’s SEL and the task group in the classroom provides an excellent opportunity for them to do so. In the task group, students can learn and practice crucial skills in vivo while they work together to complete a task. The counselor’s strategic attention to promoting task completion while facilitating SEL can serve to highlight the benefits of group work in the school learning environment. Keywords: schools; social and emotional learning; task groups Because humans are social beings, they spend a great deal of time interacting with others and much of that interaction takes place in groups. As Sonstegard and Bitter (1998) so aptly stated, ‘‘to be human is to ‘live’ in groups’’ (p. 251). The group (e.g., family, peer) serves as the ‘‘primary socializing influence’’ in children’s development (Kulic, Horne, & Dagley, 2004) and the nature of the social environment in those groups leads children down a path toward either prosocial or antisocial behavior and beliefs (Hawkins, Smith, & Catalano, 2004). Children develop social skills and prosocial behaviors through social and emotional learning (SEL). Although there are various defi- nitions of SEL, Zins, Bloodworth, Weissberg and Walberg (2007) define it succinctly as ‘‘the process through which children enhance their ability to integrate thinking, feeling, and behaving to achieve important life tasks’’ (p. 6). Five competency areas—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible Patricia Van Velsor, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Counseling at San Francisco State University.

Social and emotional intelligence, acquired through SEL, has been associated with various positive outcomes in school and life. A socially and emotionally intelligent child is less likely to develop aggressive- ness, depression, and=or violent behaviors (Poulou, 2005). Children who develop social and emotional intelligence are also more resistant to difficulties related to drugs, teen pregnancy, and gangs (Elias et al., 1997). Moreo.

In addition, give at least one tip to avoid potential herb/nutrient/drug interactions. · Add more specifics into this education plan Nutritional Education One of the critical parts of providing care to women during gestation period is nutritional education (Bedgood, 1983). There exists a correlation between the health of a mother and her child and the nutritional education she receives during her gestation period. Adhering to a nutritional plan provided by the doctor may be challenging if the mother is not properly educated on the need of proper nutrition as well as how to take the nutritious food. My education teaching session of the client will be done during the first Saturdays of every month throughout the gestation period. The main objective of the teaching education sessions is to help the client transition to the newly modified diet. The client is expected to come along with her husband for the sessions. The teaching sessions have been scheduled on Saturdays of every month to correspond to her clinic appointments. Apart from helping her transition smoothly to a prescribed diet, the session will also allow me to assess her health condition particularly her recovery process. Any changes in her diet plan will be made during these sessions based on how she responds. The method of teaching will be verbal and visual. Passing information verbally is direct and will give her opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions. Visuals learning will be provided to help her engage better with materials as well as to boost her thinking skills throughout the learning sessions. Each learning session is scheduled to last for three hours. Different ways of preparing food will be demonstrated during the program. I also expect questions from the husband and her concerning ways of supporting her through the gestation period to ensure that she takes the right diet in the right quantities and at the right time. Goals of The Nutrition Education Teaching Session: · Smooth transition from regular diet to the prescribed nutrition plan. This involves developing a positive attitude towards healthy eating and providing motivation. · Healthy mental being through positive thinking and engagement in various activities. A healthy diet goes in hand with maintaining a positive mental health. · Assist the client on ways in which she can source dilatory foods without spending a lot of resources. Based on her financial condition, she needs to understand how source food with the limited resources. · The program will teach her how to prepare various foods without destroying the nutrients required by the body. For example, avoidin.

A Resume is like your life’s portfolio. Its a document that can range from 2-10pages long created by person to show their background, skills & accomplishments throughout their lives. A resume is used in various reasons but the most used for is securing a Job or even an internship. Companies will always ask for your resume before employing you to see if your fit for the job. It’s important that you show them that you can stand our from the rest who are applying for the same job. Important Resume tips The first step, is to write your resume with the right structure & the right font which is mostly used with Georgia or Times New Roman with a font size of 12. Have your name in a larger text in the title and your person contact information (Name, phone number, home address & email). At the beginning of your resume you want to have a brief description about yourself. You don’t want to write your whole life story but you’d want to have useful information that make you even more fit to the job like important working personality traits (Hard worker, leader, etc.). Next, you’d want to have a list of your professional experience whether you did past jobs or worked in internships and volunteering.

TASK - 02 The Department of Spatial Information (DSI) is a State Government department. The major function of DSI is to provide accurate and timely spatial information to other Government departments, but also to make some of this spatial information available to the public. In order to provide both the government and public services, DSI has developed a number of web services that deliver this information through a number of internally developed services and applications. This suite of web services and applications is referred to as the DSI Online Spatial Delivery System (OSDS). The OSDS is considered essential by DSI and their users, so these services must be: • Readily available and accessible at all times, • Capable of handling heavy loads in times of peak demand, • Capable of serving downloads to users as required, • Secure from attacks, • Capable of providing detailed reports on usage. DSI have a number of new projects being developed that are expected to increase the demand for its spatial data dramatically. The Executive Management of DSI have looked at a number of proposals to support these new programs. The two alternatives they are investigating are: 1. Increasing the internal DSI Data Centre capacity to host and support the new projects in the OSDS. This would probably need a 50% increase in web infrastructure and support services within the Department. This would necessitate an increase in data centre infrastructure, server numbers as well as a major increase in the bandwidth available to DSI. 2. Migrating the OSDS to a Cloud provider. This would allow DSI to continue to develop and refine the data in its internal Maintenance systems and then move a copy of the completed data to the cloud-based Delivery system for publication. DSI Management would like to adopt Proposal 2, in order to meet their budget restrictions, but have asked you to prepare a report for the DSI Board that looks at the following aspects of the proposal: 1 . The possible delivery and deployment models that DSI should adopt for a cloud-based OSDS. This should include: a. The advantages and disadvantages of using either an IaaS or PaaS approach for the OSDS, (20 marks) and b. The possible architecture(s) that could be used to deploy the OSDS (20 marks). 2 . Should the Board consider the use of a Cloud Edge solution for the OSDS? What advantages and disadvantages would the Edge give to the OSDS? (20 marks) 3. The OSDS software architecture uses a monolithic approach to design, while a move to use the Edge will require many applications and web services to be redesigned as micro services. a. Explain the differences between monolithic and micro service architectures to the DSI Board using an example (20 marks). b. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of these two styles of software architecture (20 marks) 4 . Your recommended approach for delivery and deployment of the OSDS, including the reasoning for your recommendation (20 marks). You.
