2015-05-26 06:30:04 PM elsa thank you kathy for letting us know
2015-05-26 06:30:05 PM jorey Julie, i had a melt down last week about all the homework and lack of support i get from my AD. I talked to our HR gal and she really helped me through, explained how all that i learn will help the whole facility, now i just need the confidence to speak up. So i suggest a mentor of sorts becuase i almost gave up with how little support i am getting. you can do it JULIE!

2015-05-26 06:39:35 PM kathyhughes most people pass
2015-05-26 06:39:50 PM elsa i have a great boss and advisor... but what you must learn from a bad one is what not to do and how you can improve your department in the areas that they failed to. you can teach your staff and learn from there mistakes
2015-05-26 06:39:54 PM kathyhughes the ones that don't have not submitted their practicum assignments

2015-05-26 06:40:11 PM amber5 Same here sharden67. I think she's also supportive because she needs help. I think she looks forward to me taking these courses so that I can become an AD. Right now she is the AD for 3 facilites. 2 of them are assisted living.
2015-05-26 06:40:12 PM severman GOOD ADVICE ELSA

2015-05-26 06:40:14 PM kathyhughes and those that fail didn't do the assignments
2015-05-26 06:40:17 PM robing We have a group of 12 sophomores, juniors and seniors from the highschool across the street, but they don't really want to do much other than get out of school.
2015-05-26 06:40:43 PM kathyhughes So Robin do you have things that they can do?
2015-05-26 06:40:47 PM pec1963 how about yyouth groups
2015-05-26 06:40:48 PM kendra3 what stacy??? not sure what your asking
2015-05-26 06:40:52 PM stacy You guys will pass this course with flying colors, don't worry
2015-05-26 06:40:54 PM bjmorgan So if we do the assignments even if they are late can we still pass?
2015-05-26 06:40:56 PM robing I do have a group of 6th graders who are great! They usually do a craft with the residents but last week they brought flowers to plant.
2015-05-26 06:40:59 PM mcelratht ok , well im giving it all i got so , maybe ill be ok
2015-05-26 06:41:02 PM kathyhughes and I would talk to the person who is in charge

2015-05-26 06:41:41 PM reneebragg robing I have 2 students coming this summer one is playing the voilin and the other is playing the viola together. talk to the band dire
2015-05-26 06:41:47 PM lisafm wish we had more volunteers
2015-05-26 06:41:47 PM sharden67 I'm one of her activity aides and taking this course only helps our department! I had a former coworker who works at another Phoebe who took the MEPAP1 &2 and now is the Activities Director at another Phoebe home..she also gave me the heads up about the course.
2015-05-26 06:41:49 PM robing Kathy, I've asked them to read to the residents, but since there's 15 of them, 1 of me and 1 teacher we have found a group sneek off in a quiet corner and hide
2015-05-26 06:42:03 PM noreens Looking for suggestions for a gentleman who only comes out of his room to eat. Have tried 1:1 activities and he states leave me alone. Concerned we are in state window
2015-05-26 06:42:03 PM stacy I just saying that after writing the research paper, I remembered having to do the activities for the two cas studies in that weeks assignment, thats all, sorry
2015-05-26 06:42:10 PM bjmorgan Volunteers are so hard to get in our area. I think everyone that has the time are working with the youth.
2015-05-26 06:42:32 PM kathyhughes then perhaps they should do some scrapbooking of your activities
2015-05-26 06:42:35 PM kendra3 oh I have to look into that
2015-05-26 06:42:36 PM robing Our school is pitifully small! I've reached out to the HS and middle school band/chorus directors with no luck! "We're too busy"
2015-05-26 06:42:39 PM kathyhughes with residents watching
2015-05-26 06:42:40 PM kwilliams128 did you re assess his likes/dislikes?
