Preparation
Learning theories evolve over time. As we discover more about how people learn, the application of learning theories also changes. An idea that worked 50, 20, or even 5 years ago might not work currently due to a shift in cultural beliefs, new knowledge, or new learning contexts. Anytime there is a change in our thinking it can impact the way we apply learning theories. Many times differing perspectives can lead to productive discussions and academic debates that further the evolution of the learning theory.

Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory.
Learning Styles.
Brain Hemisphere Dominance (Left verses Right Brain).

Additional Requirements
Length: 5–7 pages (not counting your title page or references), double-spaced, 12-point font.
Number of references: Minimum of 5 references.
Article distinctions: There are three different types of articles. Research articles present original research, review articles discuss research already presented elsewhere, and survey articles are comprehensive review articles that discuss an entire field or area of research. References to books are acceptable, but they should be kept to a minimum—probably no more than five.
APA style: You must use proper APA style to cite and list your references. Refer to the Writing Center’s APA Style and Format guidelines (linked in the Suggested Resources) for more information.
Format: Use the following structure:
Cover page (your name, your specialization or program, title and course number, current quarter and year, and instructor’s name).
Abstract (optional).
Body of paper, including headings and subheadings over the appropriate content.
Reference list.
Refer to the APA Style and Format guidelines for additional formatting information.
Style: Write in the third person as an impartial narrator. Avoid the use of I, we, or you. In particular, avoid phrases like “I think” in favor of phrases like “the evidence suggests” or “research indicates.” In science, personal opinion carries no weight unless supported by a combination of empirical research and statistical or logical-mathematical inference.
Other notes: Avoid long quoted passages from your source texts. Your writing should be a synthesis of your own ideas, in your own words—even if your ideas refer to the original ideas of others, in which case the references should be explicit. Graduate-level writing should be scholarly and more than a mere summary. It should present a unique thesis or at least a significant point you are trying to make, adding appreciably to what is already known of your topic. Your point or thesis will stand or fall solely on its strength—that is, the quality and quantity of the evidence you present.

He is a director of addiction studies and psychology at Antioch University. His main role is training future therapist through courses like Contemporary Modes in Psychology and Human sexualities. He first began his work life as an actor has encountered many people with different issues in life which motivated him to become a therapist. His specialties include couple, individual and LGTB counseling, diverse identity and lifestyles, non-traditional relationships, addiction and recovery, coping skills and life transition. His daily tasks include but are not limited to the following, offering treatment and therapy for issues involving, drug addiction, family issues and relationships, support cares and counselling, developing and valuing service provisions for clienteles and assessing client’s abilities, behaviors and needs using different methods such as narrative, strength-based and Solution Focused briefs.
He is based in Los Angeles California 90004. One can reach him through his number (323) 310-9878 and his email on his website…I am passionate about helping people solve issues they are facing in life and I have a desire to be a professional counselor. I believe having an interview with Charley land will help me gain insight into what this profession involves, the requirements for being a professional in psychology and most important, and the motivation to pursue this career. I always experience some sense of self-fulfillment and joy in cases where I have helped people go through problems like emotional traumas. There have always been without professional knowledge. I believe my interview with Charley Lang will help me realize and encourage me in my pursuit of being a professional counselor.
My interest in counseling people is also intrigued by the fact the world is changing and people view relationships like marriage, couple relationship, and children relationship differently from the past. The rate of cases like domestic violence and child abuse are increasing rapidly and is becoming a global problem (Woolfe et al., 2003). I want to be part of the team that will help in changing such a worldview and brings order in relationships and this can only be achieved through changing peoples’ mindset about their view on such relationships.
Some of the questions I jotted down before the interview include,
1. Is counseling to you a passion or just a job that earns you money?
2. What drove you to take psychology as a career?
3. Do your responsibilities as a therapist focus more on the present and past and do you offer short term or long-term therapies?
4. What reward do you value most in your career, is it the salary you get or the sense of self-fulfillment you have accomplished?
5.What aspect of counseling do you feel is your area of expertise?
6.What are some of the challenges you experience in your career?
7. Do you think your career has a meaningful Impact in people’s lives and in making the world a better place?
8.What does it take for one to be a professional psychologist?
9. Apart from counseling and therapy, what other areas of psychology can one pursue as a career?
10. Does the knowledge and skills you have gained throughout the years help you as a person in solving your problems before you help others?
11.People don’t view psychology as a career option unlike business and engineering majors, what is your take on that?
12.What advice would you give to students taking psychology or a person with interest to pursue psychology as a career?
13. Do you family members and friends expect you to have a problem free life considering you are an expert when it comes to psychology and counseling? 14.What motivates you daily to help others through their problems, even when you have some in your life?
15. If given a chance, would you take a career in another major?
Charley Lang views professional ethics and academic integrity as a value that ought to be upheld in a career. This value to his is most challenged when he is facing an issue of the dilemma during a clientele problem. He says every psychology professional should adhere to the professional codes of ethics accorded to them as it plays a big role in their work life. Being ethical and moral and expressing high integrity in one work earns you respect and confidence from your clients and it should never be an area to gamble about for a serious professional (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel 2008).
His reason for choosing to be a psychologist was the fact that as an actor, he played so many roles that expressed issues existing in real life like domestic violence which encouraged him to help such victims.
When conducting an interview, etiquette is one virtue that needs to be upheld in creating rapport and ensuring respect (Jorgenson 1992). So, my approach to this interview would be to knock on the door and not just barge in and is allowed to entire, I would then show civilization and respect as I introduce myself to Him and the purpose for my appointment. I would then wait to offer a seat. I would then request a chance to have an informal conversation with him. I would then first create a rapport with him maybe by inquiring about how his day is before proceeding with the questions. Finally, after the interview, I would express my gratitude with a word of thanks for his time, wish him all the best in his career and finally wish him a great time for the remaining part of the day.
