...Historically very few professions were given the status of being a professional. Those who were in the profession of law and medicine were perceived to be ‘elite’, receiving professional status. This was given due to the structure and depth of their specialised training and high level qualification. The knowledge gained and the ethical standards of those professionals in their practice. They were governed by professional bodies, adhering to high values and having professional autonomy. These professionals were held in high esteem by society as possessing specialised knowledge and skills, who were equipped to apply this knowledge and implement their skills in the interest of others. The concept of professionalism and having status of being a professional within the early year’s workforce has been a contentious issue. Early year workers were one of the many professions not recognised by society as being professional. Some say it is due to the lack of value society in general placed on the quality and standard of qualification they held in comparison to that of other professions working within early year’s settings; such as teachers or speech and language therapists who held degree led qualifications. Early year workers skills and knowledge were also undervalued which reflected in lower levels of pay with no prospect of moving up the career ladder. It could be said that low pay relates to poor quality of service, while others say it indicates the status of the job. Society portrayed...

..."There is ample evidence that high quality early education and childcare services can improve children's development, learning and behaviour. We also know that a well qualified professional workforce is by far the most important factor in delivering the best quality of services that give children the best possible start in life" Scottish executive (2006, p1) The national review of the early years and childcare workforce has brought about positive change within the early years sector. Focus was given to develop leadership within the profession. The Scottish executive collaborated with the Scottish social services council to amend the registration requirements for lead practitioners and managers from 2011. This was to ensure a new degree level qualification was attained by staff working in a lead practitioner/management position. "Research has indicated that the best outcomes and experiences for children come from the best qualified and best led services" Scottish government (2007, p12) It was hoped that by creating a genuine career structure for the workforce that this would allow practitioners to develop their professional skills and knowledge needed to progress in their career. Thus increasing qualification and pay within the sector. "These actions will improve the status and recognition of the workforce and support improved recruitment, retention and progression within the sector" Scottish executive (2006, p4) When practitioners work collaboratively with outside agencies...

...based on many factors, including how you dress; carry yourself, your attitude and how you interact with others. The definition of professionalism indicates that each person perform their tasks with genuine earnest and honesty. It refers to a person doing his / her job with sincerity, and maintaining professional etiquette and ethics in the workplace. 2.Why is goal setting important? Setting goals is a fundamental component to long-term success. The basic reason for this is that you can’t get where you are trying to go until you clearly define where that is. Goals help you focus and allocate your time and resources efficiently, and they can keep you motivated when you feel like giving up. Furthermore, setting and achieving goals translates to feelings of success for both individuals and companies, which in turn spurs greater productivity and confidence. 3.What are Ways of teamwork in the physician’s office? Developing an effective and highly functional staff that puts practice performance first, though, is easier said than done. To a large degree, that’s because medical practices are comprised of a small group of people who work together but perform very different roles. As practice administrator, you can encourage teamwork by modeling good business behavior yourself. That means meeting regularly with your physicians and shareholders to discuss financial performance and opportunities for growth, maintaining open lines of communication, and resolving conflicts as quickly and professionally...

...Being Professional in the Workplace Being professional is one of the main factors to focus on while in the workplace today. “However, there is considerable evidence to suggest that the civil work environment is the exception rather than the norm (Suzanne).” Being professional can show those around you, whether it is customers, friends, or managers, that you take your job seriously. Throughout this paper I will highlight the some of the main characteristics that it takes to be professional in the workplace. These characteristics include: having a nice appearance, having a good attitude, being punctual, and being honest and trustworthy. The first key factor that one should possess to be professional in the workplace is a good appearance. When I think about appearance I think of two sayings that I have heard throughout my life. The first is “dress to impress” and the second is “ everyone remembers the first impression.” In my opinion these two statements relate directly to the importance of appearance not only in the workplace but in life as well. Some of the key areas to a have a good appearance are having a clean body and clean non-wrinkled clothes, which is something that some people forget about for some reason. Being clean shaven is a must for men unless they cannot due to religious reasons. People take you more serious when your appearance is a top priority and it makes you look professional. Secondly, having a good attitude and remaining positive...

...Applied Behaviour Analysis program in the classroom environment? Both focus questions have helped me to investigate ABA, implement strategies that ABA employ and reflect on the program as a whole. I became part of a withdrawal program established for the purpose of intensive early intervention based on the principles of ABA. Harris, (2002 p19) explains “Applied Behavior Analysis takes basic principles in behaviour science and emphasizes the intensity that is needed for particular children”. As I progressed through my journey I discovered that ABA was indeed an extremely effective intervention program for autistic children. I felt that the whole process was a huge learning curve which in turn has had positive affects on my future practice.

...Psychology Careers Lisa Barnes May 3, 2015 BEH/225 Professor Nancy Ault Psychology is one of the most rewarding fields of study and work that can make a positive impact on both the psychologist and the individual or group of individuals seeking psychological therapy and advice. Although there are a variety of careers in the field of psychology, the two that I find most interesting are Behavioral Therapist and Environmental Psychologist. One focuses on the individual themselves while the other focus on their environment at home or work. The key components of both of these career fields is to provide a social setting for learning, information, and a safe environment with access to a variety of resources that can help people deal with personal issues. Behavior therapy is focused on helping an individual understand how changing their behavior can lead to changes in how they are feeling. (Herkov, 2013) Basically the goal in this type of therapy is to get the individual to participate in bettering themselves in a positive way, whether it be for themselves or socially. Many of these techniques include Role playing, scheduling of weekly activities, self-monitoring and behavior modification. This field is my top choice as I have grown interest in this field since my son was diagnosed with being on the Autism Spectrum. Many schools designed for Autism use ABA (applied behavioral analysis) which is a program of behavior therapy that helps the individual reach success in...

...Developing the Nursing Profession Marbella Cotto Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V November 16, 2014 Developing the Nursing Profession In 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law. With the ACA, America has the opportunity to transform its healthcare system to one that is more affordable, more accessible, qualitative, and patient centered. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) is an independent organization that gives unbiased and authoritative advice to government and private sectors (IOM, 2011). In February 2011, they partnered with Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and released “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health”. This report discusses recommendations on how nursing can evolve in order to make the changes the ACA offers. With the nursing profession being the biggest section of the healthcare force it has to continue to make improvements to keep up with the complex and rapidly growing demands of the healthcare system (IOM, 2011). This paper will discuss the impact that this IOM report has on recommendations for nursing practice, education and leadership. Nurses are at the front line of patient care in many settings including hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, homes, clinics, community health centers and even battle fields. “Nursing practice covers a broad continuum from health promotion, to disease prevention, to coordination of care, to cure- when possible- and to palliative care when cure in not possible” (IOM, 2011).
