Description
I need help answering the questions to each reflection. There are a total of 5 reflections. This is based of School Social Work so the answers should relate to working in a middle school as a school social worker. Each reflection should be close to a paragraph long.
Reflection 1: Ethics
Clinical social workers recognize the importance of the helping relationship, the person-in-environment framework, the strengths perspective, and professional use of self. Clinical social workers understand the values of the profession and the code of ethics, including how ethics are informed by human rights, and utilize professional ethics in their clinical practice. Clinical social works use rights-based, anti- racist, and anti-oppressive lenses to critique the profession’s history and to understand their roles and responsibilities as clinicians. Clinical social workers understand digital technology, and apply ethical reasoning to ensure therapeutic use of technology

Reflection 3: Anti-racism, diversity, equity and inclusion
Clinical Social Workers understand how racism and oppression shape human experiences and identity, and use their knowledge, awareness, and skills to engage in anti-racist clinical practice. Dimensions of difference include race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, class, and ability, and the intersecting complexities of these dimensions of difference. Clinical social workers understand that intersectionalities from group memberships means that life experiences may include oppression, poverty, marginalization, and alienation from self and society, which can lead to health and mental health issues as well as limiting access to resources, opportunities, and power. Clinical social workers recognize the importance of cultural humility, including acknowledging clients as experts of their own lives, and use self-reflection to understand power dynamics and their own relationship to privilege and oppression in the therapeutic alliance.

Reflection 4: Research
Clinical social workers use practice experience to inform research, apply evidence-based processes, develop culturally responsive methods to evaluate their own practice, and employ research findings to improve practice, policy, and social services delivery. Clinical social workers comprehend quantitative and qualitative research, including the inherent bias in research design, and scientific and ethical approaches to building knowledge. Clinical social workers reflectively review this research from an anti-racist approach to inform clinical practice.
