For this assignment I reached out to an instructor at Lakeland College who is also a professional school counselor named Wendy Falk. Wendy was happy to complete an interview with me and provided information about herself including what assessments she uses, her theoretical orientation, and why these assessments are used. Wendy also spoke about her school counseling position, a difficult case she was presented with, and her opinion on the use of assessments. Additional research was conducted to learn more about the assessments she discussed.
Biographical Information Wendy and I discussed her degree and educational background. Wendy earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in science education with an emphasis in English and journalism. For 13 years Wendy worked as an English teacher but stated, “She always had a love for counseling” (personal communication, July 7, 2015). She made the decision to enroll in a master’s level program. Wendy attended and graduated from Lakeland College with a master’s degree in school counseling. Wendy currently works at Read Elementary located in

She stated that a school counselor is always talking to parents and students about choices and this is why she relates to Glasser’s approach. Solution focus/brief therapy is another theory that she uses in her school counseling practice and it was noted that solution focus/brief therapy is a time saver. My personal theoretical orientation is similar to Wendy’s and I have a strong appreciation of the solution focus/brief therapy due to its fast paced nature, which is often needed in a school counseling practice. School counselors do not have unlimited time or many sessions with their students. Therefore having a fast approach to solving the problem such as solution focused/brief therapy is important and
In the Orlando, Florida area this area is always changing and will always change due to the fact that it’s the tourist capital of the world. This won’t change anytime soon, because we see the amount of people that coming to visit the area have keep rising. This year the Orlando area will see over a million people come into the area. With some many people the fire department always has to change with it. Orange County is one of the fastest growing departments in the state. This is because so many people are moving in to the area and where places use to be nothing but farming area is now we are seeing neighborhoods been built.
Thank you for meeting with me last week on the name change for Belleview Street in Topeka.
Thank you for your email. I do see where you did deposit extra money into your escrow account when you made your February payment. The extra amount you paid was $1,050.00. The full shortage amount for your account is $1,062.13. We can not remove the shortage unless it has been paid in full. Either you can pay the remaining amount of $12.13 before March 1st or you can pay the increased March payment of $2,418.42, which will more than cover the remaining amount that would be due for your shortage. Once you have finished paying off your shortage, you will need to notify us that the shortage has been satisfied so we can remove it from the account. Once your shortage has been paid in full, your new monthly payment will be $2,329.91. If you have
Since 2002 till 2014 to do our income tax preparation, under her advisement, we followed all her orders since we believed that she would be up to the IRS codes and regulations. Moreover, every year we would provide her with all the receipts that pertained to my business and my wife’s employment W-2 forms. Every year she would state that she would be trained and would receive an update of all new laws and for us to be at ease when it came to our income tax returns.
Category 8 is very similar to Category 7, and further reveals my strength in working with others and considering the input of others. I always value and seek out the insights of others, and encourage others to express their opinions. The area of Category 8 where my score is weak is “I am creative in searching for new and better ideas and solutions.” I do have difficulty thinking outside the box for alternative solutions to problems, which makes my openness to the input of others especially important. I often benefit from seeking the advice of others and listening to others, as ideas that I have not previously considered are presented to me.
The role of a school counselor is an intriguing one because they do not work with a specific type of client. While they will always be working with young children or teenagers, the problems their clients come to them with can be so different from client to client. One session might be dealing with questions about career choices. Another might be about dealing with bullying. Some days a school counselor may even have to be there for a child who was a victim of sexual or physical abuse. It is because of this wide range of demands that a school counselor should be well-versed in many types of counseling theories.
Mr. Howard, I can't tell you the level of disappointment I have with your organization. This ordeal is taking for ever and causing tension between the roof company our family; I have been speaking about this check with you guys for almost three weeks. I have phoned four times and the conversations sound like no one has any idea of what's going on, and to add with an additional disrespectful attitude. I received your previous email telling us that the only document needed by your office since the repair had been done was the signed and notarized affidavit. This document was express mailed to your office by the Roofing company.
Yes, agree you will probably not see such a fundamental security concept highlighted/spelled-out. Auditors typically ask for Business Justification, Executive Team Approval, and for the Merchant (NCDOT) to demonstrate Compensating Controls such as an active Data Loss Prevention (DLP) system is these situations (if utilized).
The initial steps, I would have taken in treating the victim is approach the victim gently and introduce myself (Jackson-Cherry & Erford, 2014). I would accompany the victim to the ER. While at the ER, I would comfort the victim during their medical exam and make them aware of any factors that would affect the gathering of physical evidence. I would ask the victim if they wanted me to explain what will happen during the medical exam. Therefore, I would explain the medical procedure to the victim. After the medical exam, I would try to be supportive and take the necessary protocol to ensure the client safety. The protocols could be speaking with law enforcement, assessing the client’s need for safety (Jackson-Cherry & Erford, 2014). Lastly,
When I first viewed the video clips I was amused and pleasantly surprised that our assignment involved viewing a popular television series. I had never seen Entourage before and I had to watch each video clip several times because I was not able to correlate the video clips to what we are learning in the course. This prompted me to do research on the series and in particular on the character, Ari Gold. I also used the caption on the actual video page underneath the movie clip to be able to better understand the context of the clip and to be able to transfer the information and apply it to what we are currently learning in the textbook. The caption stated,
At the first page of Item 5 document, a big white space appears on the page 114 above the first heading “A. Operating Results”. We suggest eliminating the white space and beginning this page with the first heading. Meanwhile, two lines of white space appears on page 128 above the section “Income or loss from…”, but the rest of similar sections only have one line of white space above so the formatting is inconsistent across these sections. Similarly, the inconsistent of lines of white space also exist on other headings.
I would like to review information for your first module assignment due on September 14. Before I do that, I would like to thank Dr. Hartranft for stepping in during my time illness. I do apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused any student during my time of recovery.
In terms of lighting my team and I will start with a base like TOS however we will not be restricted to that lighting scheme. It is my intent to alter the lighting to something more cinematic. I like to think this is what Trek would look like if it had a holiday extended special. Its TOS as it would be with a slightly larger budget and more shooting time. I’m trying not to think too much about lighting until a tech scout with my DP and
School counselors provide a number of services to the school and the student’s. School counselors act as an important member of the education team. In this project the school counselor acted as a member of the Child Study Team. The school counselor along with the Child Study Team gathered important information that would benefit Sydney in finding out what is hindering him to learn academically. The information was shared with the stakeholders and an intervention plan was put in place. The school counselor works as an advocate for the students and making sure that all students have equal opportunity to
