CNCSP 102 Method Paper Research Questions This study is designed to answer the following research questions: (a) Which moderating variables (particularly those associated with the self, family, or school) have the biggest impact on the maltreatment-school performance link? (b) Is resiliency (a variable associated with the self, and one that is expected to have the biggest impact on the maltreatment-school performance link) more readily learned/acquired in the home or school context? Method Participants The participants included 1000 kindergarten and 1000 fifth grade (N=2000) students from two elementary schools of Los Angeles Unifies School District (LAUSD). One of the schools was an affluent public school with abundant resources catered to children in need and programs that promote positivity and growth. The other school was also public, but had limited resources due to financial restraints. Of the participants, 50% were female and 50% were from low-income families. All …show more content…
The school environment was measured by its implementation of the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) approach. SEL is a framework that focuses on resiliency and teaching social and emotional competencies to children and youth (Hong, Espelage, Grogan-Kaylor, and Allen-Meares, 2011). Specifically, SEL uses social skill instruction to address behavior, discipline, safety, and academics to help students become self-aware, manage their emotions, build social skills, and make positive decisions. A meta-analytic study of more than 213 maltreatment intervention programs found that SEL-implementing schools could expect better student behavior and an 11-point increase in standardized test scores (Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, and Schellinger, 2011). The affluent school with abundant resources implemented SEL to promote resiliency. The less-affluent school with limited resourced did not implement SEL; therefore, its students did not have access to any resiliency
COSHH files with guidelines and instructions on how to dispose of any kept substances that are hazardous to health can be found within each of your care services. Clinical yellow bags, must be labelled and sealed correctly then placed in the bin area where they are collected by a contractor on a weekly basis. Used sharps such as needles should be placed in a yellow sharps bin provided by your local doctors, hospital or pharmacy and returned to these places when full so they can be disposed of correctly. Out of date or refused medication should be recorded within your service and then collected by a contractor who then returns to the pharmacy for disposal.

HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) Level II codes are updated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. HCPCS Level II codes are revised annually with implementation in Jaunary of each year. This means that coders have to stay up to date on all changes. Some of the ways coders can stay up to date include: getting updates from the CMS website; consulting with the ASCA website; network with other coders; and consulting local coverage determinations. There are also monthly newsletters published by the AMA called HCPCS Assistant that are considered an official coding resource by the CMS. The medical management software must be kept up to date to ensure the proper codes are being used. A coder should never use an older
Leaving children in an environment that puts them at risk for social emotional developmental problems has become a controversial issue among child protection workers. In cases where children witness violence there is no proof that they will all turn out to be resilient rather the children will be affected. Although resiliency does exist and a number of children who witness IPV have been able to develop without severe emotional problems that affect them directly however they may lead to the internalizing of problems (Holmes,
Low-income families provide less tax dollars to schools, which directly affects a school’s financial ability to provide resources to teachers and students. Also, larger class sizes could lead to more discipline referrals, which affect the culture of the classroom (Rowley et al., 2011). The role of teachers and family is crucial for student success. A teacher’s ability to show compassion, provide instruction that is relatable, and eliminate discriminatory behaviors, is essential in establishing a classroom culture that promotes learning. Parental involvement in their child’s education is essential, as well. According to Rowley and Wright (2011), “Economically disadvantaged neighborhoods expose children to behaviors and ideals that hinder academic progress” (p.
They will typically have more difficulty learning in the classroom because of responses similar to these (Prothrow-Smith, December 1995). A student that is being abused at home is more likely to be withdrawn in the classroom and have a lower self-esteem level because they feel that if they answer a question incorrectly they will be negatively punished in some manor (NAEYC, 1997). Students show an inability to cope with the stress levels that are associated with school and are therefore more likely to give up. In fact, maltreated children do not differ on perceived academic ability but their scores on actual tests are significantly lower (Kinard, 2001). One major area that is extremely important to the growth of children is how they interact with other children while at school. Abuse in the home will negatively effect social growth because it influences how comfortable a child feels around other people. The fear of punishment, physical or verbal, determines how a child approaches an other child. Every student in school will most likely be unable to perfect each subject, but a student that is abused is unable to grasp this concept. They feel the need to perfect each subject and when they do not they feel like a failure. Failure is most likely not an option because, to the majority of the abused, failure equals some kind of

A child, for example, may go through a traumatic experience that may consist of either exposure to verbal or physical violence between parents or physical abuse towards the child (Kozlowska & Hanney, 2001). Young children tend to be more vulnerable to the negative effects of domestic violence (Webb, 2007). For example, children who live in a home with domestic violence that includes physical assault, mental humiliation and degradation, are likely to have lower interpersonal sensitivity, empathy and also lack appropriate interpersonal problem solving skills (Thompson & Trice-Black, 2012). As a result, when children who are exposed to this, they are at a greater risk for developing violent behaviour, criminal activity, and poor parenting practices when they transition into adulthood (Thompson & Trice-Black,
Amongst the multitude of educational opportunities that has emerged over the years, one that has positively influenced my goals has been the Teaching and Learning Careers (TLC) academy. My educational goal is to obtain my teaching credentials and eventually get a job at an elementary school working as an ESL teacher. I am bilingual so that was the reason that sparked my interest in teaching students English who didn't speak it as their first language. The TLC academy has opened my eyes to learn about the variety of teachers there are in the education system. Through my involvement with TLC I have developed many transferable working skills like communication, organization, time management, taking instructions, being punctual, knowing how to
Implications for Early Childhood Professionals: Research suggests that early childhood educators play important roles in the healing process for young children exposed to violence (Cohen and Knitzer, 2004, p. 52). Educators may be the first person in a child’s life to recognize signs of trauma or they may find out from a parent through disclosure (should we define this?). There are many strategies that educators can implement in early care and education centers that may help children who have experienced trauma. One strategy for teachers is to create a compassionate, nurturing environment through positive guidance, experiences that promote self-esteem and building positive relationships (Cohen and Knitzer, 2004. p. 56). Educators can also provide
For my novel experiment relating to campaigns and elections, I have decided to conduct an experiment to test the effects of spanish-spoken political campaign advertisements on self-identified Hispanic and Latino citizens. Research has shown that Hispanic participation in elections lаgs behind that of non-Hispаnic groups in the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, In 2008, 54 percent of Hispаnic citizens registered to vote in the 2006 midterm elections, compаred to 71 percent of non Hispаnic whites. Although raciаlly polarized politics (such as an election like Trump vs Clinton in 2016) or elections with competitive Lаtino cаndidates on the ballot
My college experience has given me many opportunities to make some incredible memories and the ones that have had the biggest impact on me are those where I am working with individuals with disabilities or troubled backgrounds. This journey has enriched my life and has provided me with some important life experiences that I plan to use to help become the best teacher that I can possibly be. It is always said that teachers make learning fun but what happens when outside circumstances have a negative impact on a student. The world is a very different place now than when I was growing up. I was fortunate to have to have the love and support of both parents as well as my brother and sister but that is not the case for many individuals. As a future educator I must be passionate about my teaching and demonstrate a love for learning while setting high expectations for all students. This is why I believe it is critical to understand the effect violence has on the emotional and behavior needs of a student’s learning ability. To be able to motivate students, a teacher must first understand and be supportive of a child’s needs and struggles. I believe childhood violence can have a direct and immediate impact on them and that it can be potentially overwhelming on the ability of a child to learn. Are children who are exposed to violence more likely to suffer from attachment problems, regressive behavior, anxiety, and depression? I have seen first-hand in my afterschool field
The topic of child maltreatment is a serious subject, and is important because maltreatment can hinder cognitive, biological, and social development. This topic has a large impact on caregivers of maltreated children. This information is relevant because it can help individuals in understand and interact with those who were maltreated in childhood. For example, maltreated children have lower rates of prosocial behavior, and exhibit withdrawn and aggressive/disruptive behavior (Alink, Cicchetti, Kim, & Rogosch, 2012). By knowing this information, caregivers can find more effective ways of communicating and interacting with maltreated children. Additionally, maltreatment occurs more frequently than we think. In a nationwide survey of young adult,

In the article, “Chid Maltreatment and Adolescent Development” , authors discussed numbers of mental health problems that could be carried on by abused children into their adolescence or even their early adulthood (Trickett et al. , 2011) . As the article demonstrated, by focusing on some crucial developmental outcomes of abused children with their social relationships, authors pointed out that the early maltreatment towards children would not only have a negative influence on abused children’s reaction while they interact with other non-abused peers, but also limit abused children ability of emotional regulation and prosocial behaviors (Trickett et al. , 2011). On the other hand, detrimental impact of maltreatment could also damage the ability and potential developmental of abused children to form the healthy friendship with their peers who did not suffer similar abusive behaviors as they did (Underwood & Rosen, 2013). More importantly, the poor peer relationship turn out to be the unstable basis for abused children to build their social network and negatively impact the development of possible romantic relationship in their later future (Underwood & Rosen, 2013).
