Description
Note: There is no specific question prompt for this week's reading response. The assignment is to make connections between your intern site happenings and the concepts presented in this week's material. Focus on your intern site with a critical analysis of this week's topic: "Institutional Interventions and Distancing".
For instance, Luis Rodriguez discusses “professional distance” between teachers and their students. He points out what a difficult time teachers have keeping that distance when they see a student in need. You might discuss the concept of "institutional distancing" as relevant at your intern site. What agency practices or staff behaviors do you observe at your site that relate to the concepts presented in this week's material? How does this affect the client population at your site?
A Week 7 overview is also available (brief lecture material/summary) that may be helpful in your reflection as it pertains to your site.
Reading Response #3 should be at least one - two pages (single spaced) or two-four pages (if double spaced) and must contain enough information to convince me that you completed the readings for this week. (Note: you may also include content from this week's Video view: "Girls-Risk Factors, Trends, & Strategies" or previous course content for support as appropriate.) Do your best to understand the material as it relates to your internship setting. Excerpts from your field notes should provide supporting rationale and examples that relate to this week's reading.
