LAVC SOC 020 Employee Challenging Behaviors Paper

Goal and Purpose

Throughout the semester you will complete a total of five journals. Each journal assignment will have a different focus that will correspond to your interviews. These journal entries are meant to aid in your reflection process after your interviews. What did you learn? What did you take away? What would you like to know? Each of the journal entries have specific prompts listed below.

Prompt

ASK Concept: Chapter four discusses the pyramid model. Specifically, the ASK concept is introduced, which claims that professionals must have a toolkit of attitudes/values, skills, and knowledge that work in concert to provide the best care for clients. For this journal entry I would like you to discuss what these “tools” look like in practice. What attitudes/values, skills, and knowledges should you have in order to best support clients at your agency.

Submission Instructions

This is step two of your journal entry; elaboration. Here you should go into detail about your interviewee’s responses. When answering these prompts your goal is to balance what you learned from your interview and how it connects to course content. For example, if your participant should discuss the challenges that they face when attempting to make services available to communities, I would expect you to utilize chapter two as support for your claims and to help guide your reflection process. You do not have to use citations, but your knowledge of course content should be evident. Please do not hesitate to contact me and ask for assistance.
