Just minutes ago, I emailed my last final exam to my professor, marking the end of my second quarter of graduate school. It's a tremendous weight lifted off of my shoulders, and I must say, a big accomplishment. At this point, I have completed one third of my graduate school education! Can you believe it?
Just like last quarter, here's a list of things I learned and did at school:
- Attended a personal safety seminar; learned how to assess risks and implement techniques to deescalate dangerous situations
- Wrote two reflections on my experiences with personal safety in the workplace
- Created a comprehensive genogram outlining relationships, patterns, and history in my family for four generations
- Researched and wrote an extensive paper on my family of origin, including more than ten sources of information
- Analyzed the impact of race, class, and gender in colonial and modern families
- Wrote an in-depth organizational review of my field placement site, Santa Maria Community Services
- Engaged in exercises surrounding ethical dilemmas in social work
- Applied the National Association of Social Workers code of ethics to two case studies
- Created an eco-map showing all of the systems of a case study family
- Completed a process recording following an in-class role play scenario in which I had to write verbatim what the client and social worker said in a session, including non-verbals, from memory.
- Created a treatment plan for a case study client
- Completed a comprehensive assessment, including mental status exam, for a sample client on video
- Attended an all -day grant-writing workshop; learned how to write clear, realistic goals, objectives, outcomes, and indicators for funders
