Registrar Training

We offer an account of training experience within an inner city service dedicated to home treatment as an alternative to hospital admission for acute psychiatric illness. The Ladywood service in Birmingham is described and the challenges and opportunities for trainees outlined. A dominantly institutional based training seemed to us deficient, after this exposure. We regarded home treatment very positively and felt that it enriched our professional development in both clinical and conceptual terms.

The co-existence of physical and psychiatric illness in so much of the elderly population poses diagnostic and therapeutic problems for psychiatrists, geriatricians and general practitioners alike, with the presence of physical illness strongly influencing and sometimes limiting the options for treatment of the psychiatric illness. Recognition of this has resulted in the Section of Old Age Psychiatry of the Royal College of Psychiatrists recommending that senior registrar training in old age psychiatry should include a one month attachment to an approved geriatric medicine unit.

Treatment Service

Over the last ten years it has been shown that it is possible to treat the majority of patients with acute psychiatric illness in their own homes. Home treatment has been shown to produce a superior outcome to hospital care on measures of symptomatology, subsequent independent living and employment status (Hoult, 1986) self-esteem (Stein & Test, 1980) and may decrease the need for re-admission. Additionally, home treatment decreases the burden felt by the relatives (Pai & Kapur, 1982) and may enable them to cope better with the patient after the acute episode.

Registrar Training

As a senior registrar training in child and adolescent psychiatry I am preparing for an uncertain future. In addition to essential clinical and management skills, the ability to withstand stress and burnout seems crucial. I should like to write about my experience of working as a senior registrar at the Young People's Unit (YPU) Macclesfield which is a specialist adolescent unit under chronic threat of closure.

Recent changes in psychiatric services have produced a movement away from large hospitals to management within the community. A successful home treatment service with 24-hour cover has been described for severe acute psychiatric illness, though hospital admission was not entirely avoided (Dean et al, 1990). It is difficult to manage violent patients or those who will not comply with medication at home. If relatives are not supportive hospital admission will be required. Although living alone is not a contraindication to treatment at home, those who require constant supervision because they are, for example, suicidal need to be admitted. Concurrent physical problems may also necessitate hospital admission. Any future services must therefore include some in-patient care.

This chapter shares a brief history of the STEM to STEAM movement, shares two case descriptions drawn from the perspectives of leaders in two school districts in which schools adopted a STEAM focus, describes challenges and opportunities associated with implementation of a STEAM initiative, and proposes five features to consider when implementing models to becoming a STEAM-focused school or school district. The five features drawn from analysis of the two cases are intentional efforts by school districts to gain buy-in; adequate time for teacher learning and planning through authentic and relevant professional development; community connections, real-world and problem-based or project-based; mutual decision-making and support between teachers and administrators; and budget planning and allocation.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyse and discuss K-12 mathematics and technology teachers' perceptions on integrating programming in their teaching and learning activities, and perceptions on different programming tools.Design/methodology/approachThe approach of a case study was used, with data collected from three instances of a professional development programming course for K-12 teachers in mathematics and technology.FindingsThe findings show that there are perceived challenges and opportunities with learning and integrating programming, and with different programming tools. Many teachers perceive programming as fun, but lack the time to learn and implement it, and view different programming tools as both complementary to each other and with individual opportunities and challenges.Practical implicationsThe practical implication of the research is that it can provide guidance for teachers and other stakeholders that are in the process of integrating programming in K-12 education. Further, the research provides useful information on teachers' experiences on working with different programming tools.Social implicationsThe social implication of the research is that the overall aim of the nation-wide integration process might not succeed if the challenges identified in this study are not addressed, which could have negative effects on the development of students' digital competence.Originality/valueThe value of the research is that it identifies important challenges and opportunities for the integration of programming. That is, that many teachers perceive the different programming tools available as complimentary to each other, but are hesitating about what is expected of the integration. Findings could also be valuable for future course design of the teacher professional development.
