Furthermore, she expressed when providing feedback how the developed document will provide adequate assistance to staff when they are completing their assigned duties and interacting with the students as she noted that in recent years the time spent developing policies has lacked due to timing and budget constraints. ]]> 2021-04-10 10:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402347096 hollieobyrne https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402349951 Although I had completed the Child First E-Learning in previous years, Michelle expressed her delight as I refreshed my knowledge and understanding of recognising concerns about children and reporting such concerns if and when they arise.]]> 2021-04-10 10:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402349951 hollieobyrne https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402351468 My creativity and overall willingness to engage impressed Michelle, the principal of ABACAS, the vice principal and the clinical director, so much so that they offered me work in the school over the coming months, furthering my ability to gain knowledge and allow for a real life, face to face teaching and learning experience.]]> 2021-04-10 10:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402351468 hollieobyrne https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402354528 Expressing my interest in what I wanted to obtain from the eight weeks, allowed Michelle to alter the tasks she had originally planned, resulting in less pressure being placed upon her during such a hectic time. This input allowed for self direction, which Michelle recognised as what she wanted from her staff. This recognition was shown through a job opportunity offered by Michelle.]]> 2021-04-10 11:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402354528 hollieobyrne https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402362500 Once again, Michelle the principal of ABACAS Drogheda, expressed her gratefulness for the effort put into creating a more up to date list which will allow the students enrolled in ABACAS to experience as many services and resources in order to obtain a higher standard of education and the best quality of life.]]> 2021-04-10 11:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402362500 hollieobyrne https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402363714 Michelle conveyed how the creation of this planning prompts encourages her staff to follow an appropriate timetable outlining when certain tasks and activities are to take place, which previously lacked. Due to the time and effort put into this task and the high standard it was completed to, Michelle was eager to have her staff follow this plan in the coming months.]]> 2021-04-10 11:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402363714 hollieobyrne https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402364342 This assignment allowed time to be provided to an area that had previously lagged and resulted in the creation of a parents handbook, explaining one of the many programmes ABACAS Drogheda offer for their students. Michelle was eager to get this task completed, however she felt there had not been time allocated to creating such a document over the previous years. As this task had been discussed at the beginning of the eight weeks, I was looking forward to not only creating an explainer for parents but to understand how many lessons are conducted from this programme.]]> 2021-04-10 11:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402364342 hollieobyrne https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402394850 When the eight weeks concluded, Michelle expressed her thankfulness for the effort put into each task during an internship that was entirely online. Although she recognised the challenges, from working from home to the time where communication was harder during the fourth week of my internship, she appreciated the workload we took on, and our continued enthusiasm and professionalism. As the internship came to an end well wishes were exchanged from both parties, resulting in an open door to the idea of a future job opportunity.   ]]> 2021-04-10 11:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hollieobyrne/ggeqmqf1divs6g97/wish/1402394850
