Behavior Theory Reflection
The agency is Center to Rise – Here’s the website: https://centertorise.com/
This is the same agency where I completed my placement during Term 1 last semester. While the assignments for last semester and the current semester (Placement Term 2) share the same structure and requirements, the content must be original and not identical. However, it can reflect similar themes or experiences, given that it is the same agency.
Reflection 2 journal during the last term had a complete different question, so I didn’t attach the previous assignment here.
However as sample, I’ve attached the reflection journal 1 that you completed on this 2nd term.
