EFF Skill Sets addressed Cooperate with Others: Try to adjust one’s actions to take into the account the needs of others and/or the task to be accomplished. Industry Skill Sets addressed Resolve Guest Problems Exceed Customer Expectations Activity 1: Empathy Skills T introduces another important component of active listening: empathy. T asks the Sts to define “empathy.” As Sts call out answers, T leads responses towards the following definition and writes it on the board. Empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the emotions, beliefs, moods and desires of another person. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to “put oneself into another’s shoes.” T elicits from Sts the reasons why it would be important for hotel workers to have empathy. Some examples might be as follows: 1. Listening empathetically makes people feel as if they are truly being heard and that their needs will be taken care of. 2. Listening with empathy gives guests a positive experience of the hotel and of you as a worker. Guests will always remember the worker who truly listened and cared about their problem, as opposed to the worker who offers a quick solution. 3. When you acknowledge how people are feeling, you reassure them that they are understood.

    CITY OF YONKERS YONKERS FIREFIGHTERS Written Exam Training Sessions SITUATIONAL JUDGMENT 1 2 3 4 4 SITUATIONAL JUDGMENT: This section tests for the ability to identify appropriate and effective responses to work-related challenges. Candidates will be presented with several scenarios that reflect the types of challenges one could encounter in a work environment. They will then be asked to rate the effectiveness of a number of possible responses to each scenario. TEST TASK: In this section, candidates will read a scenario that describes a challenge one might encounter in a work setting. After reading each scenario, candidates will then be presented with options for addressing the challenge presented in that scenario. Candidates will rate the effectiveness of each of the response options using one of four possible ratings: Highly Ineffective, Somewhat Ineffective, Somewhat Effective, or Highly Effective. There may be several approaches that effectively (or ineffectively) address a given challenge. In other words, candidates may use the same rating (e.g., Highly Effective, Somewhat Effective, Somewhat Ineffective, Highly Ineffective) for more than one response option for a particular scenario. SAMPLE SCENARIO: Setting: John is part of the night crew at a manufacturing company. John's supervisor has asked him to help Kevin, a coworker who has been on the job a few months less than John. Kevin has not been performing well in a particular area, and the supervisor wants John to help Kevin develop his skills. John: "Kevin, I wanted to share with you some ideas that I really think could help you out." Kevin: "Thanks, but no thanks.

  • CORE WORD: Thankful
    CORE WORD: Thankful For Educators, Related Service Providers and Parents PERSONALIZING AND CUSTOMIZING AN INDIVIDUAL’S AAC SYSTEM In addition to individuals with Complex Communication Needs having access to a robust vocabulary on their AAC system to potentially say almost anything they want, when they want and how they want, individualizing this a robust system is paramount. Devices need to be individualized given the unique needs of the student in the areas of: manner of access; appearance, (which includes symbol types and size, field size, color coding, and considerations for high contrast if individuals have visual impairments), selection of a voice that represents the individual’s personality and finally; individualizing the vocabulary so that persons can express biographical, personal information and make key requests and express phrases that are representative of who they are. This process is ongoing as people’s needs, interests and information changes over time. WAYS WE CAN USE THE WORD SHARE INFORMATION: (e.g. We are thankful at the end of the day.) COMMENT: (e.g. He is thankful) ANSWER QUESTIONS: (e.g. Yes, I am thankful for my family) ASK A QUESTION: (e.g. What are you thankful for?) ROUTINES AND SCHEDULES Once a week, or more often if the adults and students chose, the class can talk about what they are thankful for at the beginning or the end of the day. PLAY 1 Students and adults can take turns pretending to host a thanksgiving dinner with toys and have the toys talk about what they are thankful for. READING The Most Thankful Thing by Lisa McCourt, courtesy of Once Upon A Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TjdDrG3W8s&ab_channel=OnceUponASt ory This book is a story about a girl and her mom.

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • MISCELANEA 60.Indb
    FRASIER: A CULTURAL HISTORY Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2017 ROBERT MURTAGH Universidad de Almería [email protected] 177 Part of independent publisher Rowman & Littlefield’s “Cultural History of Television” series that (according to their website) “will focus on iconic television shows” from the 1950s to the present that have had a lasting impact on world culture, Frasier: A Cultural History joins a collection of extant publications on defining sitcoms such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Star Trek. The authors of the text in question, Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski, are self-confessed Frasier fans with a background in different ambits of cultural study (the former as editor of the “Ages of Superheroes” essay series and author of X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor: Race and Gender in the Comic Books and the latter having researched the history of decorative arts and design). Above all, they share a mutual appreciation for all things Crane. From a structural perspective, the book is divided into two parts: “Part I: Making A Classic” and “Part II: Under Analysis”. Each section is further subdivided into four separate topics. The first deals with: the evolution of Cheers to the emergence of Frasier Crane; the story behind the eclectic cast; character profiles of Frasier, Niles, Martin and Eddy; and finally, a discussion of Daphne and Roz. The second part, as the name suggests, is more academically inclined with chapters examining ongoing character development in the Crane household; an in-depth look at Frasier’s apartment from structural and aesthetic perspectives, as well as in contrast to Niles’s home at the Montana; an analysis of set decoration, particularly chairs; and lastly, the representation of women, gender and race.

DESCRIPTORS *Ability Identification; Economically Disadvantaged; Elementary Secondary Education; Ethnic Groups; *Evaluation Methods; *Gifted; Limited English Speaking; *Minority Groups; Referral; *Student Evaluation; Teacher Attitudes; Test Bias IDENTIFIERS *Disproportionate Representation (Spec Educ) ABSTRACT This review of research and literature examines issues related to the identification of potentially gifted students from groups most likely to be underrepresented in gifted education programs, including racial and ethnic minority groups,economically disadvantaged students, and those with limited English proficiency. Three major reasons for underrepresentation are identified and discussed: (1) test bias (the most frequent attribution for underrepresentation in programs);(2) selective referrals (usually because of teacher attitudes and knowledge about minority students and the type of school students are likely to attend); and (3) reliance on deficit-based paradigms (making recognition of the strengths of minority children less likely). Recommendations for modifying traditional assessment procedures include the use of multiple criteria and nontraditional measures and procedures and modification of selection criteria.
