Describe at least ten separate gestures.

Introductory paragraph: Define nonverbal communication and kinesics and cite text (McCornack & Ortiz, 2020)

KINESICS: the study of body motion or body behavior.

· Emblems: gestures that have a direct verbal translation and can stand alone such as the “ok” sign.

· Illustrators: gestures that complement our words such as pointing when giving directions.

· Regulators: gestures that may prolong or terminate the conversation such as looking at your watch, walking away, or nodding and leaning forward.

· Adaptors: gestures that make you feel more comfortable in a communication situation such as twirling your hair or tapping your fingers.

· Affect Displays: facial expressions motivated by emotion such as a smile or frown.

· In this lesson, you will venture out and observe the people around you. Tune out what they are saying and then sit back and watch. Take notes on what type of gestures (emblems, regulators, illustrators, adaptors and affect displays) are they using? How often do they use each one? Are they aware of these gestures? You will then use your notes to write a typed two-page essay describing what you witnessed. Please let us know where you were, the mall, Starbucks, work, etc.. and who was involved, two men sitting at a table…

What are 2 major laws or policies that influenced special education the most, and why?

Welcome to class! In this first week of SPE/300, we examine the history and legal foundations of special education. It is important for all educators to possess a basic understanding of the history and legal principles specific to special education to ensure a quality educational experience for all.

Respond to the following three questions:

• What are 2 major laws or policies that influenced special education the most, and why?
• Why do you think it’s important for all educators to know these laws and policies?

Review the College’s Conceptual Framework and answer the question.

Describe the role of the therapist, key assumptions, interventions, goals, and course (length) of treatment using information from multiple sources and in-text citations.

This week, you will focus on one of the models you studied during this course. Your task in your Signature Assignment is to choose one of the classic MFT models that you learned about in this course and demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the model, including how the model approaches treatment planning. To do this, you are expected to describe how the model is based in systems theory, identify the theorist(s) who created the model, the role of the therapist, key assumptions, interventions, goals, course (length) of treatment, and limitations. Here is a general layout of what should be covered in this

I. Introduce the  (overview of what you will address in the , which is to describe your chosen model).

II. Describe your chosen therapy model.

1. Be sure to thoroughly articulate the primary theorist(s) of your selected Classic Model, including a specific illustration of why this model can be considered among approaches based on systems-based theories.
2. Describe the role of the therapist, key assumptions, interventions, goals, and course (length) of treatment using information from multiple sources and in-text citations. This is one of the most important sections of your , so focus your energy here. This section may include some information from the articles you located in Week 10.
3. Offer a critique of your chosen model. Discuss any possible limitations from this model, how cultural competency and diversity is addressed in the model, and any shortcomings of the model based on the research articles you located in Week 10.

III. Develop a treatment plan to treat the family.

1. Create a brief case example. You can base your family system on a movie that you have seen, a family you know, your own family, or your imagination. Describe the family system, including important information about their context (this will include aspects of their culture, belief systems, etc.) and presenting problem(s). This section will be written up in a paragraph (around 400 words).
2. Present a brief general treatment plan that uses goals, tasks, and interventions that are theoretically consistent with the model you chose. Review the treatment plan materials from earlier in the course and format the treatment plan as you would during therapy (with appropriate labels/numbers for goals, etc.) rather than just writing in paragraph format.

IV. Conclusion- Summarize the main points of your.

To complete this assignment successfully, you are required to demonstrate your knowledge of the selected model and treatment planning.

Discussion: Definitions of Culture

A veritable plethora of scholarship has been devoted to attempting to define culture.  The concept is complex, yet most individuals have some idea about what the term means and includes. The idea of culture is so central to so much that makes us human, that it is well worth our time to explore and unpack its meaning in some depth. We may find that our ideas about culture share much in common with others’ ideas about culture, but we may also find some nuances or emphases in some definitions that are less apparent in other definitions.

For this Discussion, you will closely examine various definitions of culture and the importance it may have to the psychology community.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider various definitions of culture.

Based on your review of the Learning Resources, post your responses to the following questions.

• What are some definitions of culture that researchers have utilized?
• What is a definition of culture that resonates with you and why?
• Why should psychologists be interested in understanding culture?
