Rough Draft of Presentation 1

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

CONTENT:

(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

• At the moment I am volunteering at the Samaritan counseling center. There I am able to have conversations with the therapists in the center and I am also able to go into the therapy rooms and see the setting where all kinds of sessions take place. For my independent study component I plan to visit a YMCA, an elementary school, or a day care like I was suggested to do in one of my interviews. By volunteering in these places I will be able to be around children a lot more and be able to interact with them. 

(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

• My plan will meet the requirements because even though schools are only open during the week day cares and the YMCA are open everyday of the week making it very easy for me to be able to get my hours done. I will also make sure to calculate how many hours a week I need to have done in order to have all my hours done by the due date.

(3) How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ? 

• My working EQ at the moment is “What is the best environment to successfully treat a child?” My independent study component relates to my EQ because I will be able to see children interact with each other and be able to see how they react to different circumstances, for example if a child doesn’t share a certain toy how will each child react? I will also be able to learn and understand how to approach the problem in the correct manner.
