Week 1 Journal  Prenatal Development

With the evolution of Google, accessible information, the study of genetics, prenatal tests, social media, and many other sources of information for new parents, the process of preparing for a healthy baby can be overwhelming.

For this first journal assignment, reflect on the substance and theoretical foundation of what you have learned this week about prenatal development. Then write a reflective essay that addresses the following: Comment on how this week’s learning and materials compliment, oppose, and/or affect change in your positions and attitudes on the relevant subject matter. From this reflection, formulate and articulate three pieces of advice to help expecting parents ensure healthy development of their baby. Analyze how your recommendations are grounded in relevant theory. Explain how a decision to ground your recommendations in a different theoretical framework might have affected your decisions and actions. Based on your response to the previous question, describe what you see as the proper or optimal way to think about the relationship between theory and practice. Explain how the recommendations you selected help to ensure healthy development. Explain how ethical concerns might arise related to things such as prenatal tests and predictions.
Week 2 Discussion 

In your initial post: Identify what you consider to be a sexual identity-related problem or issue that is of importance to you and to society and culture. Identify and evaluate the key positions and theoretical arguments relating to your issue. Include in your discussion comments on what you have learned about the reasons for differences in sexual orientation (e.g., from biological, cultural, or physiological causes). Ground all positions and conclusions in theory and evidence.

In your responses to no fewer than two of your classmates, compare and contrast your respective identifications and evaluations of theoretical arguments and grounding regarding your selected sexual identity-related problem.

The topic Loneliness among older adults living in residential care

  A process recording is a written tool used by field education experience students, field instructors, and faculty to examine the dynamics of social work interactions in time. Process recordings can help in developing and refining interviewing and intervention skills. By conceptualizing and organizing ongoing activities with social work clients, you are able to clarify the purpose of interviews and interventions, identify personal and professional strengths and weaknesses, and improve self-awareness. The process recording is also a useful tool in exploring the interpersonal dynamics and values operating between you and the client system through an analysis of filtering the process used in recording a session. 

For this Assignment, you will submit a process recording of your field education experiences specific to this week.

The Assignment: (2–4 pages) Provide a transcript of what happened during your field education experience, including a dialogue of interaction with a client. Explain your interpretation of what occurred in the dialogue, including social work practice or theories, and explain how it might relate to engagement covered this week. Describe your reactions and/or any issues related to your interaction with a client during your field education experience. Explain how you applied social work practice skills when performing the activities during your process recording. Resources

There are two parts to this assignment both utilizing a group dreamwork approach.  Part I is to work with another person’s dream, and Part II is to work with one of your dreams. 
 

Directions:
 

OPTION I: You will work with one volunteer and use either a humanistic dreamwork approach or a transpersonal dreamwork approach for Part I and Part II.
 

Part I:
Select which approach you want to use.  Ask a volunteer to work with you for a modified dream group experience.  The volunteer will provide a dream he/she wishes to analyze, and you will be acting as a member of a hypothetical group. 
 

Your volunteer has the option of writing up his/her dream to give to you, but it is not required.  You will provide the copy of the dream if you receive one or write a short synopsis of the dream and include it as an appendix.  Please refer to the APA manual for formatting appendices as well as how to reference them in your paper.
 

Part II:
After completing the session with your volunteer, you will conduct a second session.  For this session, you will be analyzing your dream.  You may work with the same person, or you can work with a different person.  The individual will be part of the hypothetical group, and he/she will help you analyze your dream.  
 

In preparation for the session, you will write up your dream and include it in your appendix.  Please refer to the APA manual for formatting appendices as well as how to reference them in your paper.
 

Additionally, you will type up the group process for the approach you will be using so the person so has a guideline. 
 

NOTE:  You may want to ask another learner in the class, or you can ask a colleague to help.  
 

OPTION II: You will be working with at least three volunteers and use two different approaches for the assignment.
 

Part I:
Ask at least three volunteers to work with you for a modified dream group experience.  One volunteer will provide a dream he/she wishes to analyze.  You will act as the facilitator of the group and conduct a short group dream work session using either the humanistic steps provided in the text or the steps to conducting a transpersonal dream group. 
 

The session needs to be at least 30 minutes minimum; there is no maximum, but please set a maximum time limit for your volunteers.
 

The volunteer who will be sharing his/her dream has the option of writing up the dream to give to you and the other volunteer, but it is not required.  You will provide the copy of the dream if you receive on or write a short synopsis of the dream and include it as an appendix.  Please refer to the APA manual for formatting appendices as well as how to reference them in your paper.
