Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

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

I plan on taking a CPR and First AID class for infants and children, which will only take about 6 of the 30 hours. So for the other 24 hours, I plan to contact my local community center who currently has a "Parent and Me Fun Time" program and ask them if it would be possible for me to sit in and watch, or if I could volunteer there by doing any odd jobs. I also want to contact an after school program called BASIC, that watches over children before and after school.

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

Well, the CPR and First AID class will take about 6 hours. For the Parent and Me class, they have a session   from December to January, and they meet every Friday for about an hour everyday. So that would be about 4 hours. The BASIC program has a session in December and another in January, each a week long. Both sessions are also during Winter Break, so if I volunteer all days from 6 am to 6 pm, I will get 12 hours in one day, but that could easily be split up into days of 4-6 hours, and I will get the other 20 hours in about 5 days.

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

It relates to my working EQ because it will help me see different environments in which children grow up in, and how those environments affect them. It'll show me how different people react to a child's behavior and how to reprimand them or encourage them correctly.
