Competency 2 Reflective Report

It is important to ensure that we meet the need of the students on every level. One effective way to do this is to observe, assess, and record children’s efforts and progress. In this way, an educator can prepare to help a child’s progression in the class. Being able to track and refer to the progress of a child helps to ensure greater levels of success. In the end, our program is only as successful as the children in our care. Record keeping can identify areas that need improvement, and allows us to teach to their strong points.

In 1889 Jane Adams along with Ellen Gates Starr, as the pioneer or "Mother" of social work opened the doors to Chicago's Hull House, which provided social services that included: child care; education in history, music, and mathematics; a library, employment assistance; as well as many others to immigrant communities in the city (NASW 60th Anniversary Interactive Timeline, 2016). Today, the philanthropic work of two women has become the field of social work, with thousands of professional social workers continuing the work they started. Like everything else, the field of social work has evolved over the years to to become a diverse and expanding field. According to the text “Social Work Values and Ethics” by Fredrick G.

To provide a developmentally appropriate learning environment that is safe, healthy, respectful and supportive of children and families. For the learning environment to be safe, I ensure that I always check identification, and have parents notify me whenever someone new to the list will be picking up. I always bring my roster with me to ensure I have all my children with me. I do a roll call every time we get to a new area after traveling anywhere away from our room, and before leaving the room. Another way that I make the learning environment safe is by covering all the outlets in the room, and making sure sharp or dangerous objects are put away, and out of the children’s reach. I put cleaning supplies and other chemicals in high locked cabinets.

I have worked in the child care field for 25 years. I started my career at an in-home center. On September 15th, I have worked at the center I currently working at for 20 years. Neither one of the centers were very diverse. The center is NAEYC accredited and respect and encourage diversity.

This was a follow-up consultation but with a different student practitioner from the one the patient had seen before. The practitioner had to fill in a few gaps of details missing from previous consultation, and with the patient being in a rush, the practitioner was very clear and concise with what needed to be done. During the consultation, the practitioner picked up on the patient’s sniffles. Several times she also asked the patient if there is anything else she would like to talk about, and if it feels like they have covered everything. Seeing this student practitioner working with patients always inspires me. Her way of showing genuine interest and making sure the patient feels heard and cared for is something that I want to learn.

At my placement, we don’t think of children as special needs, we think of them as children with specific and/or additional needs. We aim to give every child equal opportunities. Children in my setting are not singled out because of their different needs. If a child requires 1:1 support we will keep them within the classroom in their groups and they will receive extra support, we do not remove them from their peers and single them out. In order for children to have opportunities for making progress it is important practitioners identify and implement adaptions to ensure the work is accessible to all children.

I learned that I need to take notes while reading and annotate the important sections I feel I will need later. I also found the information about evaluating print and online sources (75) very helpful, Recently I have been struggling with evaluating my research sources properly along with finding the important information through the clusters of text. My initial reaction after I noticed the actual questions I should be asking myself, was to reject it. Yet, I found myself accepting it the longer I read.
