For myself, I find that I am often unwilling to change my mind on a topic in certain situations. For example, if I know that I am logically correct about an idea it is hard for me to entertain an idea that cuts against the grain on my thinking. The problem is that many issues have more than one solution and they may all be logical in nature. I believe that this challenge in my thinking bars me from seeing many different solutions. To overcome this issue I think I need to try to listen closer to other people’s ideas even when they disagree with my own.
When I started my placements I was daunted by the prospect of having to contain clients with either avoidant, ambivalent or disorganised affects. Despite that and with time, I found it possible through practice and theory to improve my awareness of my process. Unfortunately the short term model does barely enable scratching the surface in this respect, I am intrigued with clients who say that they had a good childhood but they would be unable to articulate what that meant to them. Some clients are more psychologically minded than others, and six or twelve sessions is relatively a short time to enable this exploration after building a good working relationship. For example it might be helpful to be a nurturing parent, who is responsive and reliable, and work to create the space for a cooperative relationship.
The idea wasn’t clear to me at first. Now I have come to realize the mind works in ways we will never understand and sometimes we do not even notice. You can’t always make the right decision and that can cost you, but that’s life and makes the right decisions that much sweeter. Ch. 1 “The Theory of Thin Slices: How a Little Bit of Knowledge
To express this in other words, if you are working on a hard problem, you are going to make mistakes. It’s easy to expect perfection from ourselves and/or the fear the judgment that comes with “messing up”. Even at its worse, we learn from those errors to really dive into the problem for a successful result. That is not a new concept, but it is one that is often forgotten. Mistakes are actually indicators that you are actually trying to succeed, so without them you are not doing much at all.
Stage 2: Reflectors- people who like to stand back and think about experience. Stage 3: Theorists-people who like to concentrate on analysis. Stage 4: Pragmatists-people who like to try things out. Other ways to affect our working practice can be from learning off our more experienced colleagues, working and discussing issues as a team reading text
Those parents have to stay vigorously involved in schooling their kids. Surely the obligation to ensure our nation’s future must be shared also by those who don’t have children in the public schools. Those people who should take an interest in the students that will eventually be stepping into the workforce. They should be developing work-study groups, internships and job placement banks that they can recruit and develop to be successful. Evidently, the tasks of educating our children nowadays are a lot more difficult than simple examinations and easy solutions.
Intellectual education influences the head and values based education influences the heart. In fact, education that does not train the heart can be dangerous. Ability without the right attitude is wasted. Whom, then, do I call educated? First, those who manage well the circumstances which they encounter day by day; and those who can judge situations appropriately as they arise and rarely miss the suitable course of action.
The problems which surface and thus cause friction with it is the lack of quality professional development, the time allotted and better follow through making sure that it was not a complete waste of time or taken as more of a day offer. Time is one key and important issue regarding professional development. Teachers cannot simply make magic happen and cause a change for the better without being given adequate time but given this factor it must also be understood given more time is not to mean doing a repeat of the same thing that cause conflict with the true purpose of professional development. There is a bottom line that professional development holds. It is a impact on what teacher’s can achieve to improve themselves and therefore improve their students but it must all have an interconnection of validity and results.
First, he explains that we will experience emotional pain when we recognize that the work we would love to do might just be unavailable enough to make us doubt that we can proceed. Maisel states, “This is an emotional suffering that researchers haven’t examined: the pain of wanting to do certain intellectual work but not being capable of it.” He then goes on to discuss ways to help your brain to be its best. This can range from silencing the self-talk that can rob you of your confidence, to making fewer excuses about why you don’t have the time, patience, or ability to think. Secondly he points out that choosing the intellectual work that matches your native intelligence, or in other words, staying in your comfort zone. He tells us to find an area of work that isn’t too difficult which enables you to do work that makes use of all your strengths.
Human example and influence are also very powerful and can corrupt the mind eager for recognition or that craves to feel wanted and accepted. The morals and values that this type of person has been taught are pushed to the back of his/her mind and become less important than the need to "fit in". Unfortunately for these people, any attention and recognition is sought after, even if it is negative. There is an obvious difference between those who are afflicted with no conscience at birth and those who have one. No amount of moral teaching or love and comfort will keep these people satisfied and happy to be "good".
