Assignment: Reflective Journal Entry-Fine-Tuning Goals and Responding to Feedback
In Modules 1, 2, and 4, you will work on a Reflection Journal Entry. You will share your thoughts about the information in the module's required readings and how you have applied that information to your work at your field experience site.
Each journal entry should include answers to all of the questions listed in the instructions for that module. Your answers for each journal entry should also be supported with information from at least two peer-reviewed, academic references, using in-text citations and a reference list.
For this assignment, write a reflective journal entry report that includes the following:
What services does your site provide to its clients?
How would you describe the population of clients that your site serves?
Include information about any diversity-ethnic, racial, gender-based-in the client population, range of ages, socioeconomic status, and the primary issues those clients tend to have.
Identify the interventions that research indicates as the most effective interventions for the type of clients or issues your site is addressing.
Based on the information you have discovered in your research, what would you recommend your site do differently to better serve its clients? Cite at least two peer-reviewed, academic references to support your answer to this item.
