Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)
RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are? 
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts. 
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…”  for a more weighted argument?

dentify techniques that guide school counselors in addressing social/emotional needs.

I am a huge advocate for professional development opportunities. I think that we as social-emotional providers can always find something new to learn. In order to best address social/emotional needs in our short-term counseling, we need to learn and practice effective techniques. One approach I would love to learn more about implementing is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I have been a patient of DBT and found it extremely helpful for getting my life back on track when I was experiencing mental health challenges. Comprehensive DBT is time-consuming and takes 6 months to one year, and school counselors are not therapists, but it is possible to incorporate DBT concepts into our short-term practice, including concepts such as mindfulness, radical acceptance, and coping skills such as distraction techniques to tolerate distress.

Identify possible cultural and developmental expectations that might exist for Han, in Han and the Bully. What are some techniques for developing students’ skills for respecting other points of view? Reference the readings and website information provided this week.

One possible cultural expectation for Han might be to suffer in silence. He may feel that he will look weak if he speaks up. Therefore, it is very much a big deal that he spoke up about the mistreatment at school. 
One technique for developing students’ skills for respecting other points of view is bibliocounseling, which we learned about last week. For example: having students read about the experience of an immigrant person in their own words. This may cause students to consider a perspective they had never considered before, and develop empathy and sympathy for the new point of view.

How would the situation be handled differently if Han was 7 years old?

In the case scenario, the counselor used simple language, and I would expect her to do the same if Han was younger. Maybe the counselor could have used a simpler analogy to help Han understand the concept.

Identify techniques that guide school counselors in addressing social/emotional needs.

There are many techniques to use such as positive reinforcement for desire behaviors’. Others can be approaches such as, solution focused, strength based, cheerleader. In address in the need it can be as simple as a flyer for a coping group. An Instragram post on school site, parent newsletter or in a lesson. Today when I did the personalities test tied with CCGI to identify possible majors/careers, I tied in how counselors can help with social emotional needs to school being overwhelming and how we are not just here for academics. I had a slide the went over all the duties school counselors do in mental health and the workshops we hold throughout the year.

Culture norms for Han could be why it is the way he did. The book states that therapist should be aware that some cultures take great emphasis on non verbal communication, thus they are less likely to communicate in therapy (Brems, 2008). Therapist should not take it the wrong way. This can be a sign of respect and the student can show communication in other ways (Brems, 2008). Student might not know this, so lessons on cultural differences and respect would be a great way for students to develop respect for each other. Cultural days as well. 

How would the situation be handled differently if Han was 7 years old?

Educating the student may help. I like to introduce myself, state they are not in trouble, and go over what the counseling dept. is all about when I first meet a kids, because i noticed 9 times out of 10 this is their first visit and have no idea what the counselor does. Also visuals are great for younger students even videos.

You are told that the class you will be teaching has a reputation for students demonstrating a high rate of behavior that disrupts the learning environment. You know this is a culturally and academically diverse group of students, many of whom are relatively new to the school community. You decide that rather than dread this year, you have been provided with an opportunity to enhance your skills in working with students to create a positive, supportive classroom community, but you’re not sure where to start. What do you do?

Creating Classroom Behavioral Expectations
The Classroom Management simulations are multimedia, interactive case studies that give you an opportunity to make complex decisions about how best to handle classroom situations you will need to master in order to be an effective educator. Each Simulation presents a series of four scenarios that require you to choose from a set of possible decisions. The program provides you with detailed feedback on their choices. The ten Simulations address the following areas:
ackground
The sense of safety, structure, and caring students experience in their school and classroom is a significant factor influencing positive student behavior and academic achievement. Years of research and practice, including recent work associated with the Positive Behavior Support approach, indicate that classrooms and schools where students are systematically taught school behaviors that enhance a calm, supportive learning environment have fewer student behavior problems and higher student academic success.
Situation
You are told that the class you will be teaching has a reputation for students demonstrating a high rate of behavior that disrupts the learning environment. You know this is a culturally and academically diverse group of students, many of whom are relatively new to the school community. You decide that rather than dread this year, you have been provided with an opportunity to enhance your skills in working with students to create a positive, supportive classroom community, but you’re not sure where to start. What do you do?
option 1 Ask the principal if, in order to help you make this a positive year for all students in the grade level, she will re-assign certain students in your class to another teacher. Once this has been done, you will have a reasonable chance to develop a positive classroom environment.
option 2Meet with the principal to discuss your concerns and find out what she has planned regarding schoolwide efforts to help all students understand and commit to behaviors that will support the learning of all students. You decide to allow students to learn appropriate school behaviors during a schoolwide assembly and support these in your classroom.
option 3You do some reading in the area of creating positive learning environments and discover four key areas of research: (1) the importance of working with students to create behavior standards supporting a safe, well-organized learning environment, (2) the value of creating a sense of community among students, (3) the role positive teacher-student relationships play in creating a safe, supportive learning environment, and (4) the value of having students actively engaged in and successful at meaningful learning activities. While you view all four areas as important, you believe you have a history of establishing positive relationships with your students and engaging them in meaningful learning, so you decide to focus on helping students learn and commit to behavior standards that will support learning and provide a foundation for positive interactions in your classroom.

CASE STUDY: Active Labor: Susan Wong  Mrs. Wong, a first-time mother, is admitted to the birthing suite in early labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes at home. She is at 38 weeks of gestation with a history of abnormal alpha-fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks of pregnancy.  She was scheduled for ultrasonography to visualize the fetus to rule out an open spinal defect or Down syndrome, but never followed through. Mrs. Wong and her husband disagreed about what to do (keep or terminate the pregnancy) if the ultrasonography indicated a spinal problem, so they felt they did not want this information . Reflective Questions  1. As the nurse, what priority data would you collect from this couple to help define relevant interventions to meet their needs?  2. How can you help this couple if they experience a negative outcome in the birthing suite? What are your personal views on terminating or continuing a pregnancy with a risk of a potential anomaly? What factors may influence your views?  3. With the influence of the recent Human Genome Project and the possibility of predicting open spinal defects earlier in pregnancy, how will maternity care change in the future? 

  
Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide citations/references for your answers in APA format with scholarly references no older than 5 years.

In 2013, Google announced that it was forming a new company called “Calico,” with the goal of coming up with new ways to extend life and combat the deleterious effects of aging. Read the article on this company and possible approaches at the CNN website. Imagine that average life expectancy rises to say, 140 years, and that the added years are healthy and vigorous for most people. For the Discussion, consider the effects that this life extension would have on individuals and society. Answer the following questions for the Discussion: How would this change in longevity affect individuals and their relationships? Would marriages be able to last 110 to 120 years? Or would divorce become even more common, with people re-marrying and having multiple sets of children during their lives? Explain your thinking.

Imagine that average life expectancy rises to say, 140 years, and that the added years are healthy and vigorous for most people. For the Discussion, consider the effects that this life extension would have on individuals and society.
Answer the following questions for the Discussion:

How would this change in longevity affect individuals and their relationships? Would marriages be able to last 110 to 120 years? Or would divorce become even more common, with people re-marrying and having multiple sets of children during their lives? Explain your thinking.
How would an increase in longevity affect education and careers? For many years, workers expected to stay at the same company throughout their careers. Over the last couple decades that has changed, with people changing careers more than once in their lives, either out of interest or necessity. What if the average person could expect to have a work-life that lasted 90 or 100 years? Does it make sense to go to college once in life? To have only one or two careers? Explain your thinking.
How would society change? For example, if people retired at 110 years rather than at 70 years, how would this affect the number of jobs for new workers just coming out of high school or college? If people live longer, would that prevent younger people from rising in careers and professions? For example, if professional athletes could remain competitive into their sixties, would it make sense for any young person to try to become a professional athlete?
