You are a high school counselor. Maria is a 12th grade student who has just moved to the U.S. from Spain because her parents passed away. She is living with her cousin, who is currently on free and reduced lunch. Your school has a very small Hispanic population, and you have little experience with Hispanic students. Maria knows very little English, yet she is required to be a part of the mainstreamed classes because an “English as a Second Language” class is not available. Maria is also pregnant. In fact, there has been a recent increase in teenage pregnancy at your high school. Please cover all the points/questions noted below in your original posting. As Maria’s professional school counselor, how would you assist her with issues that have personal, emotional, developmental, cultural, and spiritual/religious ramifications? Specifically identify strategies, programs, and practices that advocate for social justice and academic success for Maria. Identify how you would use collaboration and consultation to work with students, teachers, parents, and community agencies to reduce the recent increase in teenage pregnancy at your school. Briefly, compare and contrast the 3 models of consultation presented in the Erford text, and identify the model that you would apply to address the issue of teenage pregnancy in your school and why? What are the ethical and legal considerations in this case? .

Part I. Overcoming Bias I am a person who firmly believes that everyone is equal despite anything. The fact that one may be of a different color or religion does no affected me because I think that everyone is equal. Also, for people who come from a poor background, I feel like they should be considered to fit into society. My culture can affect my professional work, especially when working in an area that is sensitive to culture. It can have a affirmative impact on the people I labor with because they will learn to interact with others well. On the other hand, institutions where cultural diversity is not considered necessary, it will have a negative influence on me because expressing the difference would be difficult. I believe that every individual has a right to experience equality. Oppression is not suitable for individuals who are from a different culture or background. Also, people should not exercise bias in workplaces by making decisions that affect others and benefit themselves. To be friendly and interact with people without fear despite their differences- an individual's behavior affects how they think (Gibson & Barr, 2017). For example, if a student walks up to me to ask a question, it is my role to be friendly to them to ensure that they do not fear to approach me another time. Also, for the students who come from poor backgrounds, it is essential to be friendly to them to ensure that they concentrate on their studies. It will help boost their performance because they will know that the teacher does not worry about the difference but in offering them quality education. Hanging out with people who have a positive attitude compared to mine- for example, being culturally insensitive can be eliminated by sensitive people. Interacting more with people who take into account all cultures can have significant influence on how I handle people from different cultures. To identify situations when the biases affect my behavior- when working with children in a class setup, it is essential to assess every student to know their strengths and weaknesses. Also, through observation, one can identify a student who is having difficulties in class and help them (Gibson & Barr, 2017). To avoid bias, concentrating on helping one child can affect others because they will feel that they are not necessary. Therefore, it is essential to focus on all the kids to ensure that equality is observed. Being biased affects one's behavior and attitude towards things. The strategies chosen can help build a positive relationship between educators, children, and parents to ensure that every party is satisfied. Working with individuals who are not biased can help reduce biases. Being friendly can help children from a poor background to study well because of positive energy. It will help their parents to work hard to ensure that their kids study well. Also, people with a positive attitude can help in the development of the school so that it can account for all studen.

Teachers often work with families of different cultures and experi.docx

erlindaw

Teachers often work with families of different cultures and experiences. Positive, clear collaboration, and support between the home and school environments can provide a more seamless service delivery and help to meet the needs of all students. Confidentiality requirements, respect for diversity, the effect of language learning, stress, and cultural diversity on learning and assessment are important factors to consider as a teacher. As teachers advocate for their students and families, they must find ways to collaborate with staff, caregivers, and the student to meet the needs of students in a variety of situations. Teachers must also consider assistive technologies that can support motor skills, comprehension skills, communication skills, and academic skills for students with learning disabilities. These devices promote access to inclusive classroom settings, community settings, and typically developing peers. The case study used in this assignment presents a situation that requires consideration of these topics. Read the following case study to inform the assignment. Case Study: Larissa Grade: 3rd Age: 8 Larissa is a female third grade student with a specific learning disability in written expression and executive functioning disorder. She is originally from El Salvador and moved to the U.S. with her mother, father, older sister, and newborn brother when she was 14 months old. In first grade, she was assessed for special education services and was found eligible in the areas of written expression and executive functioning due to a diagnosis of dyslexia and ADHD by an outside psychologist referred by her primary care physician. Larissa’s verbal expression is close to grade level, but when asked to express her thoughts on paper, she often uses lower level vocabulary and fragmented sentences, and lacks organization. This could be due to her inability to focus on longer tasks as well as her difficulty with spelling, written expression, and multiple languages spoken in the home. Larissa also struggles with starting tasks independently, staying on task, and with task completion. She often cannot find her materials when needed such as pencils, paper, assignments, books, etc. Recently, her mother and father separated. Her mom has since moved the children out of their home and in with family friends. The family friends have three children and two adults living in the home already, so the three bedroom, one bath home is very crowded. Their new home is within walking distance of Rosewood Elementary, where Larissa has recently transferred. Larissa’s mother, Rita, has a job in which she works long hours and is currently struggling to establish her own line of credit. At home, Larissa’s family speaks both English and Spanish. Rita considers English her primary language; however, Spanish is her first language and she sometimes has difficulty understanding written .

Week 4 Journal Encouraging Parent InvolvementUsing the Jo.docx

Week 4 Journal Encouraging Parent Involvement Using the Journal tab, respond to the following prompt: Reflect on the following ways you would like to encourage parent involvement: Positive news phone calls, post cards, emails, daily student notes, and parent-teacher conferences. INSTRUCTOR GUIDANCE WEEK FOUR *Special thanks to Dr. Patrice Jones for sharing her original guidance in this document. Did you know there is a National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) that takes place in schools across the country in the month of February? Inspired by a speech during the Million Man March in 1995 that challenged all the men in the crowd to give back to their community, Michigan school Principal Joseph Dulin initiated this movement as a day of events encouraging parents to get more involved in their child's school. “It comes during Black History Month,” explains Dulin, “and I thought it was a tremendous time to introduce it as a project for parents to get into our schools to exchange notes, phone numbers, emails, have conversations and get in touch with the teachers” (Cavanaugh, 2016, para. 6). Although the day is geared toward African American parents, the schools encourage every parent to participate for a common goal of promoting parent involvement, eliminating the achievement gap, and creating partnerships among stakeholders. Hugh Price, retired CEO of the National Urban League and founder of Campaign for African-American Achievement, explains that "community norms have traditionally played a particularly central role in the lives of black Americans" (Price, 2008, p. 19). A variety of students from different cultural backgrounds benefit from the help that school-family-community partnerships can provide. When schools use the resources at hand, they have the capacity to improve students' achievement and provide strategies that parents can use to develop skills needed in continuing to help their children. What are your thoughts on having a day specifically to get African American parents involved in school? What types of resources are used to prepare for the day’s events? Continuing along the same lines of meeting the needs of parents, educators who are culturally responsive will take it upon themselves to learn what is needed for students and parents from diverse backgrounds. It has already been established that when parents get involved in their child's education by doing such things as attending school events, children thrive academically; however, the lack of financial resources experienced by some families causes a struggle in promoting parental involvement through the conventional ways. Roberts (2011) notes that a large number of economically-disadvantaged students come from diverse backgrounds. Therefore, as educators, there are times when more prescriptive strategies for assisting parents to become involved are needed. Hjalmarson (2011) discusses a variety of different strategies to help relieve some of the struggl ...

David Beans presented on family counseling for children with attachment disorders. He has experience working with these children and currently 4 out of 6 clients in his program have attachment disorders. Attachment disorders stem from a failure to form healthy attachments with caregivers which can lead to problems with relationships, behavior, and mental health. Family counseling aims to enhance the child's attachment relationships, teach parenting skills, provide psychoeducation, and help reduce problematic behaviors through interventions like social skills training and play therapy. The goal is to involve both the child and caregivers in treatment to create lasting change.

Case Study EvaluationBeing too heavy or too thin, having a disabil.docx

PazSilviapm

Case Study Evaluation Being too heavy or too thin, having a disability, being from a family with same-sex parents, having a speech impediment, being part of a low socioeconomic class—each of these is enough to marginalize (placing one outside of the margins of societal expectations) a child or adolescent. When children and adolescents are marginalized, they often experience consequences like lower self-esteem, performing poorly in school, or feeling depressed and anxious. In order for social workers to help facilitate positive change for their clients, they must be aware of the issues that can affect their healthy development. For this Discussion, review the case study Working With the Homeless Population: The Case of Diane and consider the issues within her environment that serve to place her outside of the margins of society. Post by Day 3 a brief explanation of the issues that place Diane outside of the margins of society. Be sure to include an explanation about how these issues may have influenced her social development from infancy through adolescence. Also explain what you might have done differently had you been Diane’s social worker. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. .

Parent Teacher Communication

Valerie Popielarcheck

Effective communication between parents and teachers is important for student success. When schools keep parents informed about changes and curriculum, and parents communicate their child's needs to teachers, students benefit. Several factors are necessary for a good parent-teacher relationship, including regular communication, developing trust, having empathy for all parties, and addressing concerns respectfully. National organizations provide standards to help schools improve parent involvement through communication, parenting education, including parents in school decisions, and collaborating with the community.

Background and Goals The Texas Department of Criminal Justice reports that children of offenders have a 70% greater likelihood of becoming involved in the criminal justice system (TDCJ). In Dallas-Fort Worth alone 70,000 children have parents who are incarcerated, so this means DFW potentially has 49,000 future inmates (TDCJ). Also, according to the statistics report by DEA FD, powder and crack cocaine usage has increased due to its high and stable available market that comes from Mexico. Statistics show that 14% of young people have access and are abusing this substance (SUBSTANCE).
