This is what I have done so far in my final project. I am trying to find sources to support how some social

workers have a background of abuse and that is what makes them want to become a social worker to advocate. Also was hoping you could give me advice on how I am doing so far and proof read. Thanks you instructions are at the end and I just want help with what I have done so far. Not for you to do it for me. I got flagged.

As a final project, I have chosen the Human Service Center; a nonprofit agency that serves a diverse population. The mission of the Human service center (2019) is “to assist people in achieving self-sufficiency, independence and healthy lifestyles to the maximum extent possible” (para. 1). The agency offers mental health counseling and substance abuse counseling. Also, they offer community support, case management, family therapy, and SASS services. In addition, they have their own psychiatrist. They have two residential facilities for individuals with severe mental illness. Furthermore, they have a day program at their main office for those individuals to support independence; they can earn a paycheck through sheltered employment (Human Service Center, 2019).

Professional and Responsibilities

For my interview I have chosen Dionne Gerfon, LCSW. Mrs. Gerfon is a manager over crisis counselors and school counselors. I am a crisis worker for the Human Service Center and Mrs. Gerfon is boss. As a crisis manger her activities are but not limited to reviewing crisis packets, entering billing, entering ccybs packets into cornerstone website, and sass reports for the state. Medicaid billing requires tracking for 7 day follow ups and 30-day follow-ups. Also, she attends monthly and weekly meetings, supervision, and reports on hospital stays. Indeed, for clients at the school, Medicaid billing is done per minute for what they are working on and she is required to see a certain number of clients per month. In addition, she must update mental health treatment plans and IEP’s every six months. Furthermore, she reaches out to parents, teachers, vice principals, principals to ensure clients are making progress to reach their goals. She works as a team with other individuals to create IEP goals and tracks progress. Mrs. Gerfon also refers clients to other services such as: community support program, family therapy, individual case management, whereas they are all offered through the Human Service Center. It is also her responsibility to make sure that children that have went through crisis are received treatment.

Her past led her to social work. She felt like she would be able to help because she has been through it all. Some examples she gave were her parents were divorced and she was adopted. Also, she wanted to help others.

Advancement was easy for her, but she feels like she is stuck because she is already manager of two programs. Furthermore, overall, she is satisfied with her career. Mrs. Gerfon was a stay at home mom for 20 years before she decided to go to school, whereas she wanted to get her children raised before she started her career. For immediate self-care, she gets up from the computer and walks up and down the hallways. Also, she spends time with her family, goes on vacations, and gets her nails done (D. Gerfon, personal communication, July 7, 2019).

After interviewing Mrs. Gerfon, I felt overwhelmed because of all the responsibilities she has. The Human Service Center is a great place to work but because it is state funded; the employees are underpaid. As she was naming all her responsibilities it was in my head; you deserve more. As we all know, it isn’t how much you make but getting up every morning and enjoying going to work. I went to the main office for our interview and that is where the day program is, which serves the developmentally delayed population. Being around the DD population did not bother me because I work in an intermediate care facility. I thought social work sounded better until she named off all that goes with it. The hardest part for me is paperwork, as it has been something I have never enjoyed.

Summative assessments are generally planned during the program design, so that when the courses are designed later, the course designers know what the students need to know and be able to do as a result of each course. This is why you are working on completing the actual assessments before you complete the syllabus and lesson plans for the course you are working on. This is called Universal Design or Backward Design and there is plenty of research to support this topic if you are interested.

Using all of the materials you have developed thus far, you are going to create a summative assessment and two formative assessments to be used in the course you are designing. For examples of summative assessments that are acceptable in your content area, go back to your SPA standards. On the website for your SPA, type SPA assessments into the search engine. There, you will typically find five to eight types of assessments deemed acceptable for your content area. Choose one summative assessment to create for the course you are developing. Your summative assessment must yield data that can reflect whether students have mastered the two to three competencies you chose for the course. You will create the actual assessment, rather than just a description of the assessment. If you use information from other sources to create your assessment, please cite appropriately. However, this assessment needs to be unique and cannot be something that is used in its entirety in another course or program.

Once you finish your summative assessment, create two formative assessments that would measure one or two of the objectives that you wrote for the course. Again, these assessments must be unique and must be actually created.

You will submit your summative assessment and two formative assessments as one deliverable to your instructor. Make sure you clearly label the competencies you are assessing for the summative assessment, and the objectives you are assessing for the formative assessment so that your instructor can give you appropriate feedback

Your instructor will identify which of the following topic(s) you will address.

  1. Using your own educational site or a site of a different educational organization, determine the overall attitudes of the faculty and administrators toward data-driven decision making. List some of the factors that have influenced these attitudes.
  2. Explain the differences between problem solving and decision making giving relevant examples.
  3. How has the transition in reform strategies affected the traditional roles of teachers and administrators?
  4. Schools of education have always used student data to help design and develop appropriate courses and graduation decisions for their students. It is only recently that multiple data options have been used for more than summative assessments. Explain how this change has affected the work teachers must now perform on a daily, weekly, or quarterly basis.

Read “Five Ways to Ensure a Positive Co-Teaching Experience for Co-Teachers and Students,” by Meier and Fisk, from Simon Fraser University (2016).C

Conflict is inevitable in any workplace setting. In schools, the effectiveness of the educational team is important to the well-being of every student. Therefore, it is important for educators to resolve conflict in a professional manner that promotes collaboration.

The following scenario informs the assignment:

Mr. Carson, a special education teacher, has called a problem-solving meeting with a team of professionals who work with his seventh grade student, Melissa. Mr. Jones, Melissa’s science teacher, has expressed concerns about Melissa’s ability to engage in class on a day-to-day basis, both academically and behaviorally. Mr. Carson decided to invite a team to help problem solve as he has been successful working with special education students in a general education classroom setting.

The team includes: Mr. Carson, the special education teacher and case manager; Mr. Kiernan, a math teacher; Mr. Barnaby, an English teacher; Ms. Chamley, a counselor; Ms. Amity, a social studies teacher; Ms. Claire, the assistant principal, and Mr. Jones, the new science teacher. 

During the meeting, Mr. Kiernan expressed his gratitude toward Mr. Carson and his ability to guide the team through comprehensive problem solving steps to help Mr. Jones. Everyone participated in the discussion and brainstormed ideas except for Ms. Claire.

When it came time to evaluate the suggestions, Ms. Claire found numerous reasons why each would not work. She specifically cited legal implications and time constraints. Mr. Kiernan offered ways to mitigate these concerns, but Ms. Claire simply said, “No.” Mr. Kiernan was somewhat surprised to hear the others then agree with Ms. Claire, except for Mr. Jones who said nothing. Ms. Claire then referred to one of her original ideas and the others enthusiastically agreed that it would be a good starting point. Mr. Kiernan tried once again suggesting another option, finding a way to incorporate both suggestions, but Ms. Claire vetoed the idea. Mr. Jones seemed to tacitly accept the idea but left without much enthusiasm.

In a 500-750-word evaluation:

· Describe the interpersonal conflicts and conflict management style presented in the scenario by the key characters and how they could potentially affect the learning environment and well-being of students with disabilities.

· If you were Mr. Carson, explain how you would promote better collaboration in this situation to meet the needs of the student.

· Provide potential solutions for meeting the needs of the student.

· Develop a plan including two research-based collaboration and communication strategies to address the conflict and promote healthy peer-to-peer relationships.  

Support your response with the topic materials as well as a minimum of three additional scholarly resources.
