Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Pedagogy - Orthopaedagogy and Special Education, grade: ninguna, Liberty University, language: English, abstract: Being an Internship student and teaching in a preschool has provided me with numerous and varied benefits for an aspiring teacher as myself. The way a school operates; receiving feedback on skills, learning disciplinary measures, and serving as part of an educational staff are some of the opportunities I have experienced. Two of the most valued benefits are the classroom experience and the chance to be mentored by experienced teachers. his paper will discuss the behaviors I have observed in the children throughout the internship, as well as the connection of these behaviors to educational and development theories for children aged three to five, specifically disadvantaged children in a Latino community. The benefits received by completing the internship in relation to future growth and through supervision will also be examined. Suggestions and recommendations will be made for individuals wishing to complete an internship. The paper will conclude with a personal growth section where it will be explained how completing this process has altered my future goals and impacted me personally.
Download or read book Neighborhood Influences on Behavior Problems Among Low income Mexican American Children written by Sarah Curci and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino children are more than twice as likely to live in poverty than their non-Latino, White peers (Kids Count Data Center, 2017), yet limited work has aimed to understand neighborhood influences on pathways of mental health among Latino children. Substantial work documents the deleterious effects of living in a disadvantaged neighborhood on mental health outcomes throughout the lifespan (Leventhal & Brooks-Gunn, 2000). Parental and familial variables may explain neighborhood influences on children's mental health during the first few years of life (May, Azar, & Matthews, 2018). The current study evaluated the influence of three neighborhood indicators (concentrated disadvantage, residential instability, and the percentage of residents identifying as Hispanic/Latino) on maternal postpartum depressive symptoms and child behavior problems at 3 and 4.5 years via mediation and moderated mediation models among a sample of 322 low-income, Mexican American mother-child dyads. Contrary to hypotheses and existing literature, concentrated disadvantage and residential instability were not predictive of maternal or child mental health outcomes. The percentage of residents identifying as Hispanic/Latino emerged as a protective neighborhood factor for both mothers and children. The neighborhood ethnocultural context may be especially relevant to understanding pathways of mental health specific to Mexican American families. More research is needed to understand specific parental and familial mechanisms underlying this protective effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos are now the largest ethnic minority population in the United States and still they encounter a great deal of misunderstanding, prejudice, and discrimination. Utilizing a strengths-based perspective, Social Work Practice with Latinos addresses the unique needs of this diverse population. Written by practitioners and scholars from many disciplines, this book discusses social issues of consequence to Latinos and specific strengths and risk factors of the Latino community. They then offer methods that utilize these strengths to ensure a culturally-competent approach to practice with Latino populations. Each chapter is accompanied by key questions for personal and group reflection to facilitate discussion and understanding of these vital themes. The editors have nearly three decades of combined experience working with Latino populations inside and outside the United States. Drawing on this experience, they integrate these varied perspectives to prepare students and practitioners for practice with this richly diverse community.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book The Development of a Pilot Four week Program Addressing Challenging Behaviors and Language Delay in Preschool Children from At risk Latino Families written by Giselle D. Melendez and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to develop a four-week parenting program addressing behavioral challenges and promoting communication skills in young children from low-income Spanish-speaking Latino families. A series of workshops were held to provide parents with strategies to promote language and to understand the function of behaviors. The curriculum was modified to infuse culturally sensitive ideas and was guided by research on at-risk Latino families with young children. The program is important because children with language delays have higher levels of behavior difficulties, language delays are consistent over time, and there are many factors (e.g., language difficulties) that place low-income Latinos at-risk. Curriculum modules addressed concepts of high reflectivity, emotion regulation, and attributional interpretations of child's behaviors. To pilot the new parenting program, 16 mothers and one grandmother, predominantly monolingual Spanish-speaking women from Mexico, were recruited from preschool classrooms at an elementary school located in an impoverished inner-city neighborhood in Southern California. To assess the needs of the families and to pilot measures that can be used for future program evaluation, the parents completed a survey assessing their self-efficacy for addressing behavioral and language challenges in their young children. These results reaffirmed the need for this parenting program, and subsequently, eight of the women participated in four workshops that were held over a month period. In this paper, the curriculum is presented in English and in Spanish, with detailed instructions for professionals and parent leaders who work with Latino families with young children. Feedback from parents obtained during and after each pilot session is presented as the comments and self-reflection help to inform curriculum modifications and procedural recommendations for implementing the program successfully in the future. In addition, the assessment scale with subscales and their reliability coefficients are presented that may be useful for future program evaluation.

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.
