UKCP produces publications and runs meetings and conferences to inform and consult on issues of concern to practitioners and support continuing professional development. As part of its commitment to protection of the public, UKCP works to improve access to psychological therapies, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards, and also deals with complaints against organisational members as well as individual members. Looking at the similarities they have the same standards and practice of care requirements and uphold the same values and ethical principles. Some difference seems to be that BACP have members who describe themselves as counsellors are educated to undergraduate diploma level and mostly employed in organizations. Where members of UKCP who describe themselves as psychotherapists are generally educated to master’s level and are mostly self-employed in private practice.
Introduction “Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors should an ethical therapist cover at this time?” My aim in this essay is to demonstrate a clear understanding of the ethical issues surrounding hypnotherapy. Looking at the code of ethics which was developed from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Code of Ethics April 2010; which constitutes a moral code of principles and values which should always be adhered to whenever a hypnotherapist is practising.

Gravells takes this one step further by saying adult learning is all about helping someone reach their full potential. (Gravells, 2008, p. 5) The training cycle (Gravells, 2008, p. 28) (Appendix 1) is an excellent model to follow as the five stages will help the teacher ensure the learning is effective and relevant to the learners and/or organisation. It is the role of the teacher to establish the needs of the organisation and/or the learners and to assess learner’s competence levels and gain knowledge on their motivators. A responsibility in my role was to contact individual learner prior to the course to determine their objectives, any dietary requirements, any learning requirements and motivators for attending; whilst establishing ground rules regarding date, time and location to ensure learners would turn up on time at the right place. Another responsibility is keeping learners personal information secure; teachers will have access to learner’s records and personal data, so it is vital to follow the guidelines under the Data Protection
These early recollection are analyzed and interpreted. The therapist then identifies some of the major successes and mistakes in the client’s life. This is called a lifestyle assessment when all is finished the counselor and client have goals for therapy. (Corey 2011) In counseling clients explore the concepts about self, others, and life that constitute the philosophy on which an individual’s lifestyle is based. The client is encouraged to think about their private logic, their concepts about themselves and others and the philosophy that their lifestyle is based on.
Investigating Meaningful Teaching Interview The author had the privelege to interview two different teachers of which were educating different grade levels, ages, and classroon enviroments. This essay will summarize the interviews and reflect upon why the author wants to join the ranks of special educators, what the author learned during the interviews that solidifies his/her desire to be a special educator and the authors personal mission statement. The questions that were asked during these interviews ranged from opinions as to what is necessary for a meaningful and worthwhile teaching and learning experience, how is a meaningful learning experience for students related to the teachers' philosophies of education, why did the interviewee want to become a teacher, why does the interviewee continue to teach, what are two or three of their most rewarding teaching experiences, what are two or three of their most challenging, what changes would they like to make in teaching and why, and lastly, how can special and regular education teachers receive support to deal with the challenges described. Out of the six questions asked, both interviewees were simlimar in responses with two of the qestions. When asking, “What is necessary for a meaningful and worthwhile teaching and learning experience,” Mrs. Hagel’s response referenced the engagement in learning, objectives, and instruction, whereas, Mr. Walker expressed collaboration with the school (teacher, CST, administrators) and the parents are critical to the success of a child as well as a positive learning enviroment.
They participated in literary workshops designed by the Ontario Ministry of Education to foster new ideas and change of mentor teacher beliefs and practices in teaching. The professional learning opportunities were intended for encouragement and support for mentor teachers. The research design included three standard visits of novice teachers in the classroom. The observing teacher (also known as the mentor) focused on the ‘SMART’ goals established by demonstration teacher (the novice teacher). The mentoring teacher searched for successful practices which could be developed in the new teacher’s teaching style such as tone, eye contact, body language or even learning activities which could create success in class.
These lenses correlate to processes of self-reflection, student feedback, peer assessment, and engagements with scholarly literature. Cogitating upon these processes provides the foundation for good teaching and the means to become an excellent teacher. The autobiographical lens, or self-reflection, is the foundation of critical reflection. Teachers may focus on their previous experiences as a learner, or on their experiences as a teacher in order to "become aware of the paradigmatic assumptions and instinctive reasonings that frame how we work" (30). By interrogating, for example, teaching journals, evaluations, student/peer feedback, personal goals/outcomes, and/or role model profiles, teachers can reveal aspects of their pedagogy that may need adjustment or strengthening.
