    Aggressiveness is a behavioral trait where a person is unreasonably hostile towards others, often in an attempt to dominate and intimate those around them.

    Introduction The following is a study of an elementary school age student, female, Caucasian, age 10, Abby (due to confidentiality using fictitious name), who shows continual outbreaks of disruptive social behavior at the after-school center. This student spends approximately 6-7 hours a day at school, only to then be transported to an after-school center for another 4-5 hours.

    Throughout my entire SIP project, many skills were developed. One of the major skill developmental activities was the interview as I had never conducted a formal interview before. My questions went through multiple stages and changed many times, when talking to teachers it became obvious that my original questions were too narrow and didn’t offer the person being interviewed to elaborate on the topic. The majority of my original questions had been questions with a yes or no answers thus meaning they would have been little help in developing my student inquiry project any further. Going into research project next year I feel that it will be a lot easier to come with with valid and questions that could result in elaboration due to the skills…

    Theories and Theorists From first steps, first words and more all children go through similar stages of development. Many theorists have studied these developmental milestones, and put them into broad stages of development, which many children go through during certain time frames. Jean Piaget, one of the most well known child development theorist, formed the Cognitive Development Theory which has helped educators to understand a child’s cognitive abilities from birth to early adolescence.

    My background and the cultural competency that I obtained from my interactions with varying populations, will allow me to bring a diverse perspective to the NJMS community. During my time at Rutgers, I mentored minority students and students from low-income families for three years. As someone who grew up depending on public assistance, I was able to form meaningful relationships with these students because I understood first hand some of the challenges they faced. These experiences have taught me how to recognize an individual’s unexpressed needs and has strengthened my ability to communicate with people from different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. When looking towards the future, such skills will enable me to effectively address…
