Competency Role Model
Competency #1: Professional Behavior Jodi Davis has been an inspirational role model as a social work educator. She was just always real with how it really is out there in the field. She let us know that the information we learn is genuinely important, but it is not what is in the field when you get done with school. She gave us the need text information, which was of course all, but she introduced us to some of the elements we could face. She was down to earth, her attitude was amazing, and the way she treated us was just a breath of fresh air and really needed. Rich Bergman my field instructor has been a great role model. In my experience with him I have grown to admire him, and I am very grateful that he was available to be my instructor. …show more content…
I really have been trying and working on overcoming a fear of people that look of Muslim descent. I know the religion is truly beautiful, and not everyone is a bomber. My husband who watches the news constantly said something to me this summer that has just truly stuck with me. He is aware of the diversity at ISU and always expressed concern, but this year he asked that I just be extra careful, because he wanted a wife to come home to. It still makes me cry and it does make me more scared because his fears are valid. In the field I have yet to deal with this situation, however I am pretty sure in my career I will. I just hope that I handle it as well as I have walking the halls of …show more content…
I have done several one on ones with the residents. I have met with several family members for various reasons either for admissions, just to inform, or there was a passing. I have attended several meetings where I have learned a vast amount of information about the inner working of the process in resident care. Paper work is not my favorite, insurance issues I do comprehend I just find it to be a pain, I really enjoy working with the residents. I love the look on their face when you give them your attention, it just means the world to them.
Competency 5: Human Rights and Social/Economic Justice My earliest recollection to my gender is that women had no rights at all. Women were just as much owned as were slaves. Then we gained some privileges such as voting and equal opportunity employment. There is still a wall that some see and some do not. I find the only wall I ever hit seems to be of the sexual nature where I still get treated like a sexual object. I however do not deal with this in the work place. First job ever though to not have this issue, I hope it continues this way in other career choices. Women have come a long way and I am simple and appreciate what I get. There are some that want to achieve more and feel held back by what is believed to be the female

    Colleen Biszewski Biography

    In terms of academics, Ms. Biszewski pushed us to challenge ourselves. She always had the next step in mind. For example, she made sure we were well prepared for high school and provided us with all the tools necessary to get there. In math, we were only two chapters behind one of the area high school math courses. She incorporated the new Common Core curriculum and made sure, although really confusing and different from what we knew and how we were taught previously, we understood the concepts. When I got to Marist, Algebra was pretty easy for me because she did such a great job getting me ready.…

Another activity that encourages social interaction is music time. Sometimes children hold a colorful parachute handle while waving it up and down.

    Expectations Of Women In The Great Gatsby

    Some say a woman should be happy to have a partner, regardless of how they treat her. Others make gender-based statements on what women can and can’t do. The fact that some people dislike female presidential candidates merely based on the gender is an current example of the adversity women face in “men’s jobs” still face. I’ve heard a multitude ignorant comments spewed from many about how a woman’s privileges and roles can’t be equal to that of a man’s, and is that really any different than Tom’s cruel comments about his opinion of women in the…

    Diversity Organization: History Of Women And The GLBT

    Women today have the right to get a higher education if they want; they are in high ranking positions within our government and military. Women today are not looked at as just a house wife, in today’s trend we are seeing more and more men staying home to run the household. Women today also do not just have jobs in a so called “women’s job”, for example if a women wants to be a welder, or a mechanic she can be. Those are two jobs that when people picture that worker it is usually a man but not anymore. Even though women have made a lot of changes the biggest thing that they are fighting for now is equal pay. A lot of the jobs tend to pay women less money than men. Female business majors, for example, earned a little over $38,000, while men earned more than $45,000 (Ellis, 2012).You see a lot of concepts or constructions of masculinity and femininity in media but not so much in society. The media has a lot for commercials that can be focused on gender related products. Even though the product is mad for a man you will not see a woman as the character in the advertising and the same for women. Now society on the other hand has evolved so that there are not gender specific roles, as a large amount of women have what was once a man’s job such as an engineer or a firefighter. When we refer to what society has deemed gender specific that is hard as the lines are somewhat blurred because gender does not play as much…

    I recognize that there are people who have put up tremendous roadblocks for me to do so because my gonosomes decided that being female would suit me best. Like many other women, I deal with sexism in all areas of my life whether that be in the home, religious institutions, work, school etc. and I grew tired of accommodating for a patriarchal system that would find flaw whatever I chose to do. I have made an indelible decision to never normalize sexism and to fight for a permanent end of it because every woman deserves the opportunity to reach her highest potential without the worry of someone trying to control her pay, her privacy, or her…

    Unconquerable Emotion: The Final Frontier

    Right? Well, it isn't that simple. Through the systematic and deliberate mistreatment of women, the world has been forced to a state of hypersensitivity towards the plight of the women. As your changing bodies force you to acknowledge the plight of YOU and pretty much only you, you become no better than the oppressors. When considered, why is sexism seldom attributed to men? Because men have all the flashy jobs, the nice cars, and opportunities abound; well this in and of itself is the basis behind our unsung sexism. Behind a mask of opportunity lies the humble boy, scared that he himself won't add up to what everyone expects of him. That he won't meet a girl, get married, have children. Underneath this mask of opportunity lies a sensitive and loving creature - but this isn't ideal, no, a man should be tough, he should be the protector of the family. Not care what anyone says or thinks.... This is the ideal man. This ideal man is found in none other than one of my favorite tv series’ Star Trek, he is the beloved captain of the starship Enterprise, James Tiberius Kirk. While this definition is odd, Captain Kirk was a knowledgeable and compassionate leader who thought of nothing except his crewmates first, showing emotion and empathy that were unprecedented in…

    The Advantages Of Early 1900's Women

    In day to day life, people judge and make biases with every person they meet. It can be on the way someone walks, the way they speak, or just how they carry themselves. Anything and everything that is seen is up for grabs. That's the way people have been for decades. But the most prominent is between genders. For years, men have had advantages women were simply denied. In the early 1900’s women were treated incredibly unfairly to today’s standards. For instance, they couldn’t vote, one of the most basic rights in this country. Also, they weren’t as educated as men during this time so as to stay at home and be a stay-at-home wife. Women also had hard times finding decent jobs, as most of them were hired in factories or as servants in houses. It took half a century for a change in their outlook as they became able to have birth control in the 1960s. This allowed them to be able to become more educated since they didn't have to focus on a family, helped them get jobs, and become part of the workforce. Women even gained the right to vote. This may seem like there's not much else to fix, but it is still a part of our daily lives and still needs plenty of work before we can ever consider being anywhere near close to equality.…

    Stereotypes Double Standards

    I can fortunately and happily say that I personally have not experienced unequal treatment in regards to my chosen career, educational path or previously held jobs. What I do still see currently being stereotyped are gender roles and the way they are allowed or not allowed to sexually express themselves in the public eye. From my experience it is more acceptable for men to compose music about sex, be in main stream media selling sex, have successful careers in sex, and everyday unequal expectations in dating, sex and relationships. Men have more sexual freedom in the world today. Men are encouraged and in most cases applauded on the discussion of how many partners they have had in the past and the specifics of each experience, yet woman are still expected to hide their sex from the world in fear of ridicule and isolation.…

    Competency Goal 1

    It is important to maintain a safe environment for students inside and outside of the classroom. My goal is to make sure that the children understand what being safe is. I make sure that they know how to play safe. All of the toys and the materials that the children use are safe. I make sure that there are no broken toys that may harm them around. The children along with me create the class rules. I make sure that the outlet plugs are in place and that the cabinets are secure. The children follow the classroom rules. I make sure that I supervise the children at all times. I also make sure that I observe the areas where they play, work, and eat. I make sure that shoes are tied. I make sure that the children use walking feet when we walk down the halls and in the classroom. When we transition to go outside we have to cross over an area where the cars drive. We make sure that we stop, look, and listen for cars and put out caution cones before we go to the playground. I also check the playground for sticks, trash, glass or any other items that can cause harm. I am also CPR certified so I know the procedure to help a child or adult in need. We have emergency plans displayed in the classroom. The children are aware of what to do in the case of emergency such as a fire. We make sure that the windows and the doors are secure at the end of the day.…

    Discrimination Against Women

    For many centuries, women have had to fight for their rights. In today’s society, women are still discriminated against in the workplace. Generations of women have sacrificed for woman today to have the opportunity to be able to have a voice on what they want to do in life. In the workforce, women make up 47% of the United States workforce (“Women's Bureau (WB) - Quick Facts on Women in the Labor Force in 2010"). This is almost half but yet they are paid less than men. Men are often bound to receive a promotion, transfer, and compensation before women. The broader problems of obvious discrimination against women in the workforce have been dealt with for centuries. Across the world, women are discriminated against in the workforce through family…
