...motivation, discipline and a teaching style are all essential elements of an effective classroom that acts as a positive learning environment for students. Classroom organization can affect how students learn and your own ability as a teacher to reach the students success. I set up my student’s desk where everything is visible to see, and I creatively use my classroom space to enhance the learning experiences of my students. Motivation should be major factor in a teacher's management of learning and behaviour in the classroom. In my classroom I use positive feedback and encouragement to help keep my students enthusiastic about learning and motivated to work during class. Discipline is also element essential for an effective functioning classroom. In my classroom we as a group set our classroom rules and actions for breaking them. The way you teach can be analyzed into different teaching styles and developing an effective teaching style requires time, effort, the willingness to try different teaching strategies. I use the facilitator teaching style where I focus on the activities; this style is centered on student-centered learning. I design student-to student collaboration, group activities, and problem solving.

A culture of safety would benefit Drew’s case and the patient’s at his hospital, because a culture of safety promotes the staff’s commitment, confidence, increase the staff’s morale, and consistently safe behaviors among leaders and healthcare providers. In addition, a culture of safety would improve the communication and collaboration between co-workers,...

...Safety and Mental Health are crucial elements in early development of children. As early care professionals is important that we are knowledgeable of the facts that are associated with safety and care of children as the effects of safety and the mental health of children can have a lifelong effect on them. The affect that it may have on them depending on the type of environment can be a positive impact which can lead to greatness or the a negative impact which can lead to a lifelong of pain an heartache that stem from not being a safe environment when not in the comfort of their home or not being properly diagnosed at early age because their early care professional was not knowledgeable of the signs to look for. In this paper I will discuss the difference between mental health and mental illness, along with the effects of a safe environment and the importance of the role of an early care professional. Young Children’s Mental Health Mental health is not just the absence of mental disorder. It is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. Mental illness is when one is not able to cope with the daily life obstacles; usually one has to be medicated in order to cope with daily life. A person has been diagnosed by a medical professional with a mental illness and mental illness range from all...

...basic training course and then implement the process daily in the classroom. This process centers around four tenants known as agreements: Mutual Respect, Attentive Listening, Appreciations/No Put-downs, and The Right to Pass. These agreements are not only applicable to the classroom; they are also applicable school wide. The outcome of the process “is to develop a positive environment that promotes human growth and learning” (Gibbs, 2001, p. 21). The Albuquerque Public School District (APS), responding to President Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), is mandating that all teachers differentiate instruction in their classrooms in order to help all students learn and succeed in their school careers. . Even with this mandate there has been little formalized training provided for teachers to assist them with integrating differentiation into their daily practice. Therefore, the benefits and methods of differentiation are left up to the individual teacher to explore and implement. Teachers must conduct their own research and training into this mandated topic.

...something on a more personal level; communication skills are the essential tools. The following text will go into detail about the basics of communication and its’ benefits and differences when working with patients and coworkers of different cultural views or reluctance to cooperate. Fundamentals. Knowing the elements of communication is very essential for people, especially those in the health care setting. To be effective some fundamentals must be understood and utilized. The basics for communication may be labelled as “Compassion; Emotion; Empathy; Human Services” (Miller, K. Journal of Applied Communication Research). While some may say this is a debatable way to categorize communicating, the 4 prior listed topics offers a very stable sum of what is needed to be an effective communicator. Time for action When people are required to communicate in an efficient manner, especially in delegating or educating about medical facts or requirements; a delicate balance between compassionate communication and empathy must be displayed. By empathizing with the patient a health care worker can allow for a more comfortable conversation. Many times patients will feel very uncomfortable or worried about how their health may be afflicted. When the health care worker speaks with a delicate but sturdy emotive force, a valuable human service is offered in a linear fashion. The Balance The 4 prior mentioned elements of communication; “Compassion; Emotion; Empathy; Human Services”...

...when it should be used is often incorrect. Therefore, understanding the basic elements of communication allows individuals to know when and how to use different each form of communication. Effective Communication vs. Basic Communication Basic communication can be both spoken and unspoken. It is typically defined as the process of sending and receiving messages. Basic communication is used when one is saying something that is general or doesn’t need to be fully explained. However, when one wants gain a full understanding of something, a detailed explanation is required. Thus, when communication consists of detailed explanations it is called effective communication. There are many different ways in which something can be understood depending on how it was said. Therefore, directly communicating with someone is quick and relatively easy; but, in order to get someone to grasp the full context of what you are talking about the elements of communication must be effective. This means there should be shared understanding of the information between the sender and the receiver of the message. Moreover, effective communication involves more than just understanding the information. It involves the shared understanding of the feelings, thoughts, wants, needs, and intentions of the communicators, which may not be openly expressed (Du Pré, 2005). Effective Communication vs. Health Care Communication The basic elements of effective communication differ from the...

...Dalia Ugarte PA 311- Winter 2015 March 2015 Final Integrative Paper Assignment I’ll start off with a quote from Block and McKnight that we read in The Abundant Community, “it is one who chooses to create the life, the neighborhood, the world from their own gifts and the gifts of others.” Those are the acts of a Citizen in a community.” Now days we don’t go into the true meaning of what is means to be a Citizen in our communities. How many times do we have a conversation with our neighbors? How much time do we actual spend in our respective communities? For parents, do you know your children’s communities at school? What I’m getting to here is how much do we really spend connecting and building relationships within our communities? Like mentioned in Block and McKnight, we have turned into this world of consumers, the power that comes from within the community is diminishing because people are turning to products and services. Throughout this paper I’ll go into some essential elements that build and promote civic engagement. “Citizens create satisfaction by recognizing their individual capacities and skills. We begin to see that the neighborhood is a treasure chest” (Block & McKnight 2010). Citizens find gifts within a community, when we do this we start to realize the potential that lies within out communities. This ties directly with some main points in The Arts and Social Capital article we also read. “Whether visual, musical, dramatic, or literary, the arts allow...

...at all levels within an organisation influences the effectiveness with which risks are controlled. Behavioural safety approaches aim to promote behaviours which are critical to health and safety. This essay outlines why a behavioural safety approach might be adopted. Behavioural safety programmes vary significantly in their success. Some fail altogether. An overview is given of how to adopt such a programme. Some key barriers and enablers which have been shown to affect the outcome are highlighted. This essay will not go into detail about what behavioural safety is, except insofar as it is necessary to explain the “why” and the “how”. Why Organisations Might Adopt a Behavioural Safety Approach Safety performance in many organisations has tended to reach a plateau. This follows significant improvements which were achieved initially through technological approaches (better understanding of physical hazards, inherently safe design etc.), and subsequently systems approaches (implementation of HSE management systems, quality systems etc.). The term organisation was defined by W. J. Duncan as “a collection of interacting and interdependent individuals who work toward common goals and whose relationships are determined according to a certain structure”. This definition suggests that fundamentally organisations are made up of people, rather than buildings, equipment and machinery. In occupational organisations, people usually share a number of common goals such as controlling...

...analysis of this organization based off the six policy elements. This organization is awesome and I would recommend checking it out. The missions, goals, and objectives are great for this organization. The mission statement is: “Advocating for the child’s best interest is the Program’s only purpose. These Program Standards are to be interpreted to support the mission”. (Guardian ad Litem, 2004) This organizations goals & objectives are simple for powerful. This organization is purely to help children in the courts system. They believe that a child should be loved and have safe environment no matter what. The forms of benefits and services delivered are coordinated with the courts. On this org’s website they provide a standard of operations and it explains everything, having to do with benefits and services. Entitlement rules are easy for this org; it is solely for the children in the court system that has no voice. This org speaks for them in the courts when no one else will. This organization has a set of standards they go by for these two policies. Guardian ad Litem depends on many for their funding. According to Guardian ad Litem (2004), “Federal, state and local government agencies, non-profit and faith-based organizations, private foundations and corporations are working together to support the efforts of the Guardian ad Litem program” (para. 1). Also this program has a lot of volunteers as well. Volunteers are essential for this program to run. Pro Bono Attorneys are also...

...Current Issues in Health Care University of Phoenix Health Law and Ethics HCS 545 Professor: Dr. Michael Grossman February 14, 2015 Current Issues in Health Care Medical errors persist despite modern technology. Although, this is not a new issue it remains in the forefront of the health care community. Health care is a decade or more behind many other high-risk industries in its attention to ensuring basic safety (Institute of Medicine, 1999). Medical errors have been in the spotlight since the 1990's when government studied the sudden increase in the number of hospital deaths. According to Lester and Tritter (2001) "Medical error is an actual or potentially serious lapse in the standard of care provided to a patient or harm caused to a patient through the performance of a health service or health care professional". A study in the Journal of Health Care Finance from Wolters Kluwer finds medical errors in the U.S. may cost up to $1 trillion per year (Goedert, 2012). Medical errors can occur in many ways including but not limited to wrong site surgery, surgical errors, medication errors, adverse drug reactions, medical equipment failure, diagnostic error and communication errors. The Journal of Patient Safety estimates that the numbers of deaths in 2014 that are directly related to medical errors top 210,00 and may reach 440,00 (Allen, 2013). The statistics indicate that to ensure patient safety the reduction of medical errors must become a priority of...

...found guilty of a crime (Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities, FPLD, 2012). There are high, medium and low secure units all of which need to be high quality, patient centred and recovery orientated (Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health, JCPMH, 2013). There is a need for forensic health services as the JCPMH (2013) claim that patients in these services have complex needs and these needs typically cannot be met by commissioning generic health services. The time spent in forensic units depends on an individual’s recovery and progress towards rehabilitation. However, although the public protection remains the priority, there is a increasing consensus that forensic inpatient services may not always be an appropriate environment for those with severe mental illness and that detention can exacerbate mental ill health, increase the risk of self-harm and suicide and heighten vulnerability (The Institute Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, 2015). The Royal College of Psychiatry (2013) claim that people with a LD who come into contact with specialist learning disability mental health services often have a complex mix of LD, mental illnesses, personality disorders, substance misuse, other developmental and/or physical disorders including epilepsy and possibly present with challenging behaviours. The recent report from the Department of Health (2012a) states that there are a total of 15000 people in England with learning disability or autism who have behaviour...
