How To Write A Self Reflective Statement

Improved Essays
Section One I have had a longer chance to experience the positive growth that has come from my participation in EDLT 409. I have had two quarters to learn, teach, and reflect on my own personal growth as a teacher. I had to find ways to make learning fun for my student and also make sure that they are fulfilling the Common Core State Standards. This was one of the first times I was creating actual lesson plans that included the Common Core State Standards and actually teaching them to students. I found it fairly easy to have the student make connections to themselves with the stories I picked. I feel that I learned a lot about my organizational skills in this class. I have a lot to work on regarding my organization that will only help me in the future. I also struggled with time management, I tend to create lesson plans that took longer than what time we had allotted which is another skill I need to work on. When I am in my own classroom I need to make sure I am not running over time because I will have a full schedule every day. When I first entered the cafeteria at the elementary school I was very nervous about everything that I had to do for the class and all the lesson plan that I needed to write. I wasn’t quite …show more content…
With my student peers I felt that they knew that I would be a support to them and that I would help them in any way that I can. I also felt comfortable enough with asking help from my peers as well. I was able to build relationships with my peers that will help me in my future classes here at Central and beyond. I am glad that I have a good supportive group with me. When it comes to my tutee I felt that I had a good positive attitude with him as well. Luke had days where he was a bit rambunctious and I felt that I always kept even tempered with him. He always enjoyed coming to the 409 class every Tuesday and

    Early upon entering the College of Social Work I became interested in the homeless population. In my junior year, I took the time to volunteer with the Renaissance Community Center, an organization that provides various services to Homeless individuals in Tallahassee. Volunteering here taught me about people and the effects of interpersonal communication, how the availability of services can aid people during personal crisis, and the limitations of resources and access on a vulnerable population such as the homeless. This experience is valuable to me as it increased my interest in the population and my awareness of how it intersects with values and the purpose of social work.…

One time it was helpful which they taught me how to pair up students so that every student has to take part and with classroom management how to use music and reminder cards.” Weeks said, during that day, it helped me so much for better classroom…

    Just last year I was driving up to LHU for the Summer Bridge program and I remember being extremely nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. I remember being assigned to a “Peer Mentor” whose job was to guide me throughout my freshman year and push me to be my best. I remember going to every workshop that was held on Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. because I knew if I didn’t there may be a possibility that I could miss out on some important information that would one day be helpful. I remember going to Dr. Gainer’s office every time I had a paper to write because I knew how helpful she was. I remember seeing other students in my class stress out and/or make mistakes that they would not have made if they were in SSS.…

    Writing has changed my perspective on various aspects of my life. Some of the essays that I have written in the past have opened doors to new ideas. These essays have helped me make connections I feel I never would have made without writing. I believe this is because I enter my deepest level of concentration when I write. This heightened level of concentration I reach when writing has allowed me to reflect on important areas in my life such as self-awareness and motivation.…

    An occupational therapist reported that self-regulated learning strategies helped a junior high student with a learning disability (Cahill, 2008). The student was trained in three learning strategies: self-observation, self-evaluation, and self-reaction (Cahill, 2008). The student wanted to turn assignments in on time, and improve his grades on the submitted assignments (Cahill, 2008). The student learned to use the self-observation strategy to set goals and monitor his progress. The self-observation process required the student to maintain a record of improvement as the student worked towards established goals (Cahill, 2008).…

    I branched out to so many new people and made a ton of new connections in the school. Throughout the year, I gained a new perspective on life. When we were working with students with special needs, we learned how to view life differently. No matter what, they always looked at everything so positively. One particular experience, when I mentored a third grader whose Dad was in jail, taught me that you have to persevere in life and make the most out of everything no matter how bad things seem.…

    Some of my strengths in this domain are establishing/completing priority assessments, evaluating/monitoring nursing actions, and completing thorough assessments on clients concerns. During a shift I worked with a client who had just had an abdominal surgery. Upon doing my head-to-toe, he expressed that he had numbness in his upper thigh. I assessed this further, asking him about when it started, when its numb, looked at his CSMW and circulation, as well as asked about pain and sensation. He explained that it began during the night and had persisted into the day.…

    I first became interested in counseling when I was helping a friend with serious drug related problems and family problems seek help and counsel from advisors. Being just sixteen, I didn’t know how to help him efficiently and felt both powerless and helpless at trying to find adequate resources and services to help him deal with his problems. While I did eventually find counseling services and potential help for him, the effects of his psychological problems were so brutal that he committed suicide. This profound experience of losing a close friend to suicide forced me to develop a strong interest into understanding the role, guidance and motivations that leads people to such extremes. At this point, I had already cultivated the desire to…

    “We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools” (Foster). This statement is one of the many famous political expressions made by President Barack Obama; this one in particular was one from a speech in April 2011. This assertion made by our President creates a refection of my first and failed experience in Expository Writing at Roger Williams. My teacher was not invested in my education at all. When my struggles in class first began in the fall semester of 2015, I relayed them to my professor and he suggested to go to the writing center for help.…

    It has only been three weeks and I have never had a class that has personally affected me as much as this one. This week’s reading, “The Social Construction of Unreality: A Case Study of a Family’s Attribution of Competence to a Severely Retarded Child” by Pollner and McDonald-Wilker, really made me question my entire life and the role that my family has had in my education. I am in my second year at UCLA with a full scholarship for tuition and very minimal loans. Granted I have had some ups and downs with my GPA, I have overall been managing my grades. As a student, you can say I have been quite successful.…

    Introduction Have you ever wondered what your greatest strengths were and how you could use those to help you advance in your career? Many people probably think they have certain personality strengths until they take an assessment to see what they actually are. I recently took a personality assessment utilizing the DISC method of scoring to see what my more dominant personality traits were. The results came back a little different than what I thought of myself at first but the more I pondered on it, the more it made sense. My three most dominant personality traits are Conscientious, Dominant and Steadiness.…

    Self reflection is the mental process that acquires knowledge and understanding through thoughts and experience which helps encourage self awareness. This essay focuses on assessing my objectives and how I have developed my skills from the beginning of this semester until now. At the start of semester A, I wasn’t confident in preparing for the skills sessions and workshops. I wasn 't always able to find the correct answers to the workshop questions set which made it relatively difficult for me to participate in lectures despite finding myself at the library every other day. I began by listening to knowledge based lectures online and making notes alongside the recommended reading given by my lecturers or the module guide.…
