Coaches and medical experts have known for a while that the severe hits that football players take on the field can lead to concussions, blackouts, and even permanent damage. More recently, however, there has been increasing concern that the effects of repeated hits to the head may not manifest themselves until decades later. Early studies suggest that former National Football League (NFL) players suffer high rates of memory and other cognitive problems years after retiring and that they also may develop these problems earlier than non-football players do. Do you think that football playing should be stopped? Should the rules of the game be changed to eliminate hard-hitting? Is the risk of permanent cognitive disability different than the risk of permanent physical disability? Wrestlers, soccer players, boxers, and other types of athletes are also at risk for long-term brain damage. Should these sports be changed or banned? How did the information in this unit influence your opinions?   The second half of your Discussion Board assignment will be your responsibility to another PSY 1010 classmate in Unit II. Be sure to include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, “Tom’s response to Susan’s comment.”  ***Be sure to proof your responses before posting to eliminate misspellings and typos. Please also use punctuation and capitalize where necessary. Ex- “I” is always capitalized. Proofing your work will ensure that your message is clear and understood by your reader, a necessity in communication. Points will be deducted if these guidelines are not followed. ALSO PLEASE REPLY TO ANOTHER STUDENTS COMMENT BELOW  Autumn: I agree, some of the rules you’re stating, I had no clue of. Those are reasonable and completely understandable. I didn’t know of players dying on the field due to head injuries. That’s quite scary and puts a different perspective onto things. Also, the Nascar fact about tailored helmets is very interesting. I figured they were all just made the same and could just be customized as in looks. As I stated in my response to the original post, I do believe it shouldn’t be banned, most of these people have worked all their lives to get to where they are and they know what is at stake.  For more information on Cognitive Disability read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disabilities_affecting_intellectual_abilities

Read the following vignette about a child with ADHD and answer each of the three questions at the end: Scott is 8 years old. At 7 AM, his mother looks into Scott’s bedroom and sees Scott playing. “Scott, you know the rules: no playing before you are ready for school. Get dressed and come eat breakfast.” Although these rules for a school day have been set for the past 7 months, Scott always tests them. In about 10 minutes, he is still not in the kitchen. His mother checks his room and finds Scott on the floor, still in his pajamas, playing with miniature cars.  Ten minutes later, Scott bounds into the kitchen, still without socks and shoes, and hair tousled. “You forgot your socks, and your hair isn’t combed,” his mother reminds him. “Oh yeah. What’s for breakfast?” he says. “Scott, finish dressing first.” “Well, where are my shoes?” “By the back door where you left them.” This is the specially designated place where Scott is supposed to leave his shoes so he doesn’t forget. Scott starts toward his shoes but spots his younger sister playing with blocks on the floor. He hurries to her. “Wow, Amy, watch this—I can make these blocks into a huge tower, all the way to the ceiling.” He grabs the blocks and begins to stack them higher and higher. “Scott makes a better tower than Amy,” he chants. Amy shrieks at this intrusion, but she is used to Scott grabbing things from her. The shriek brings their mother into the room. She notices Scott’s feet still do not have socks and shoes. “Scott, get your socks and shoes on now and leave Amy alone!” “Where are my socks?” he asks. “Go to your room and get a clean pair of socks and brush your teeth and hair. Then come eat your breakfast or you’ll miss the bus.” What sort of problems would you expect Scott to have at school?  What are some teachings you might provide for this parent? What interventions would give Scott the best chance of having positive outcomes?  For more information on ADHD read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder

Setting Goals and Objectives Assume that in providing existing services, the needs of Latino students, who made up 16% of the high school population, were overlooked. Speculate with some “if….then”  thinking about what might form the foundation of program hypotheses to meet the needs of these students. Define what an outcome objective is. What is the significance of an outcome objective in the program planning process? Write an outcome objective focused on meeting the educational needs of Latino students. Identify three outputs or services that would help to reach this outcome. Write an outcome objective focused on meeting the educational needs of African-American males with learning disabilities. Identify three outputs or services that would help to reach this outcome. For more information on Learning Disabilities read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_disability

Supervisor Development The role of the mentor is uniquely suited to the development of professional values. As a Mentor (and Athena disguised as Mentor) guided  Telemachus’ development during Odysseus’ absence, the counseling mentor guides the development of the new counselor. Mentoring allows the supervisor to help supervisees envision themselves as professionals  (Corey et al., 2010). Whether you are operating as teacher, mentor, or supervisor (or any combination of the three), you have a responsibility to pass on the  essential knowledge and skills of the profession to the next generation  (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2007). The roles of teacher  and supervisor have clear responsibilities (both legal and ethical) to  guide this passing of knowledge and skills. As a mentor, you act in more  informal settings and without specific guidelines. Or do you? There are serious ethical concerns when knowledge is morally  disconnected from its application (Sommers-Flanagan &  Sommers-Flanagan, 2007, p. 317). Mentor did not just teach Telemachus—he  guided him through the actions needed to resist his father’s enemies.  The counseling mentor becomes an informal teacher, moving knowledge into  action. This may be done in a number of informal activities such as  presenting or writing together (Corey et al., 2010). Briggs and Pehrsson (2009) strongly support the concept of research mentorship for pre-tenure faculty. This mentor has two functions:  relational (role-modeling and developmental issues) and instructional  (research development and career issues). Briggs and Pehrsson found that guidance in the promotion and tenure process was the type of help most often received from the mentor, followed by writing help and career  advice. The lowest rate of mentor help was in research methodology, data  analysis, and ethics (integrity). Certainly, the case can be made that the integrity issue should be the first in priority for the mentor. The Roman goddess Vesta (Hestia if you are Greek) was the deity who  presided over sacred wisdom and the hearth. In public life, she was the protectress of the state. She was symbolized by a flame (the flame or torch in many university emblems represent Hestia and her wisdom). As  the keeper of the flame, she preserved the state and the institutions of  society. As long as her flame endured, the state would survive. As you grow and develop as a supervisor (mentor), you become the keeper of the flame of counseling professionalism. As long as you help maintain the  flame, the profession survives. References Bernard, J. M., & Goodyear, R. K. (2019). Fundamentals of clinical supervision (6th ed.). Pearson. Briggs, C.

For this discussion post, address the following: Several models of supervisor development are presented by Bernard and Goodyear in your  Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision text. Does one model stand out over the others for you? How is your selection congruent with the philosophy of supervision you are developing for the Personal Supervision Philosophy  Paper? Discuss your thoughts on lifetime supervision, as practiced in Great Britain. As you look forward to your future as a supervisor, how will you try to bring mentoring into your supervisory role?
