It is written into my planner, in purple marker, so it stands out and I can't erase it. This encourages me to stick to my planned time to step away from school work, etc. ]]> 2022-04-27 01:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2159477224 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2160953096 What works for me is to prioritize my time during the weekday so I have time during the weekend to take care of myself. I normally push through the week to complete my readings/classwork so I have Saturday and Sunday "off." ]]> 2022-04-27 18:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2160953096 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2160961277 I learned about the roles and responsibilities of a school social worker. I also learned about how to teach children about "flipping the brain." I actually taught my students during group counseling about this concept. Lastly, I learned a lot of new skills from the culturally responsive training book. This book was super helpful and relevant to my field placement. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2160961277 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2160967341 "Do good and good will come to you." -Aman Mehndiratta]]> 2022-04-27 19:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2160967341 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165825875 Before taking this class, I was relatively unaware of all that School Social Workers are responsible for. From offering resources and assistance all the way to ensuring the emotional and physical well-being of their students. I loved learning so many new skills that I can use even if I don't get the opportunity to be a school social worker one day! ]]> 2022-05-01 15:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165825875 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165829338 "I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things." - Mother Teresa ]]> 2022-05-01 15:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165829338 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165938255 “May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” – Nelson Mandela]]> 2022-05-01 18:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165938255 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165942917 This course provided me with more information on VTSS and related interventions for students. This was helpful because my placement was not a participating VTSS division. I also enjoyed learning more about conducting biopsychosocial assessments for IEP purposes and enjoyed the live session where we talked in depth about this practice Moreover, this class provided additional information on how to effectively engage with families in a school setting. This skill set has been extremely helpful within my field placement. ]]> 2022-05-01 18:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165942917 https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2165946387 I have to admit, I am not the best when it comes to prioritizing self care. However, I have found that in order to balance school, work, and a family..it is a must. I plan my "self-care days" in advance and try not to overload myself in the process. I have tried to rid myself of that concept that self care is "earned" and instead it's "deserved." This is still a work in progress.

The “me time” when I first wake involves reading affirmations, listening to motivational music, or spending the time meditating. I also utilize aromatherapy to help rejuvenate my spirit, ground me, and relieve stress and anxiety.

This course helped me decide on my career path and the position I would best serve families with children. I grasped a better understanding of child studies and the process of receiving accommodation for children with special needs. What stuck out for me from the course was learning more about social-emotional learning, different tiers, culturally responsive teaching, and policies. I am saddened about VA legislation's decision to remove the Navigated Equity Tools from the school system, deeming them as divisive practices when so many English Learning, lower socioeconomic, and BIPOC students fall behind in schools. I am interested in seeing what the futures hold for our children. I am grateful that I landed a that incorporates strategies and techniques of diversity, equity, and inclusion when supporting parents in the development of their children. I will use the resources and material from this course to continue developing my knowledge and competence about the education system and informing and equipping parents with the skillsets to understand, provide, and advocate for their children's needs.]]> 2022-05-01 21:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hebbal/aenltfuhd17f80mx/wish/2166025112
