It is my hope to work in family and child counseling areas in some capacity where I have the opportunity to help families experiencing difficulties maintaining beneficial and healthy relationships and a home environment conducive to well adjusted child and adolescent development. In retrospect, I would like to have become more familiar with childhood education issues simply because I realize that the working environment I envision will almost certainly give rise to an opportunity (and possibly an obligation) to become knowledgeable enough about childhood education theory to meet the needs of my clients as comprehensively as possible. In retrospect, my portfolio might be stronger from a professional perspective if it contained evidence of my having studied childhood education....
Strictly from the academic perspective, the absence of work in childhood education does not jump out at the reader; it is primarily of likely practical significance in the field.
If I were advising a new psychology student today, I would emphasize the importance of using the first part of the program to identify potential areas of more specialized interest. I would also suggest that one consider subsequent academic choices from both the academic record perspective and from the practical perspective (i.e. The everyday realities and requirements of working in a chosen area). While narrowing the focus of study is important, one should simultaneously maintain an open mind about what other areas of psychology or other substantive knowledge might be helpful in practice.
Identifying whether previous punishments have reinforced the behavior would also be important to design an appropriate punishment strategy. Question Fostering Positive Relationships with Students Developing a close relationship with children is associated with improving the positive outcomes of that relationship (Birch & Ladd, 1997).

However, it does indicate the topic studied without mentioning the results. LITERATURE REVIEW The opening of the literature review identifies problem areas in the research. The introduction to the literature review includes a brief outline of what areas will be discussed. The literature review addresses the research questions
Accountability: Accountability is an extremely important issue with regard to ethics, as guidelines demonstrate a volume of information that is assumed to be known and practiced by school psychologists, the individual is therefore accountable for the appropriate application of them, as well as any other laws or rules that govern their direct contact arenas, as well as other areas of the broad practice.

high school psychology teachers. (2013). American Psychologist Psychology is one of the most popular elective courses in high school. This article provides advice about how teachers of high school psychology courses should be prepared for their vocations while obtaining their baccalaureates. It offers two paths to certification. One is a course-based model, in which the future psychology teacher studies foundation, breadth, and elective courses, followed by a Capstone project. The

In the meantime, it is obvious that America needs to embrace itself from future unspeakable horror. References Anthony Scioli, P. (2013, Janurary 5). Newtown, Connecticut: From Fear to Hope.

School Response to Student Suicide: Postvention The emotional impact on family and friends following an adolescent suicide - and the school's response to a suicide - has not been the subject of the same level of intense research as have: a) the causes of suicides; and b) programs to prevent suicides. However, there is now an emerging body of solid research on what protocol a school can put into place, to
