Professional Development

Assignment: Professional Development Plan: Competencies of Addiction Professionals

A competency is a skilled trait that demonstrates a high standard of knowledge in a given area. Competencies include required knowledge, skills, and attitudes to perform tasks and responsibilities essential to addiction treatment (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2006). Continued education and professional development are important elements of developing and refining competencies. Intentionally seeking development opportunities and keeping current on the many changes in your profession can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment you provide. It is important that addiction professionals are aware of the competencies required for addiction treatment, including their own strengths and limitations, in order to improve professional development.

For this Assignment, review the resources and select three competencies that you consider most important for an addiction professional. Support your response with references to the resources and current literature.

Submit a 2to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe the three competencies that you selected and explain why you consider these the most important competencies for addiction professionals.
• Explain any competencies that you may need to further develop and explain why.
• Describe professional development opportunities that you might participate in to strengthen professional competencies.

Diversity And Learning Environment

As classroom leaders, teachers have many opportunities to encourage everyone to respect people of all backgrounds and abilities, and promote a positive classroom environment that supports learning and decreases disruptive behavior. Teachers should reflect on their own values and beliefs in order to understand any underlying effects these beliefs may have on their instruction and interaction styles with students. Such awareness can help teachers be more objective, have more empathy and understanding of others, and set the tone for a respectful and cooperative learning environment.

Prepare a 750-1,000 word reflection on the topic of diversity and learning environments. Within your work, address the following:

· Describe personal frames of reference regarding cultural, linguistic, and gender differences.

· Reflect upon how your personal background and frames of reference can, however unintentionally, create bias in your relationships with students and families, how you design instruction, and the classroom environment you promote.

· Describe specific ways to decrease potential bias in your classroom, including ways to incorporate your students’ abilities, interests, and cultural and linguistic backgrounds into the learning environment.

· Review the “Integration of Faith and Work at GCU.” Using this as a guide, discuss how Christian values align with establishing a multicultural classroom that demonstrates and teaches how to respect people of all backgrounds and abilities.

Note

Support your work with 3-5 scholarly resources, including the “Statement on the Integration of Faith and Word” article.
