Example Of Positive Traits Essay

. Begin by giving examples of the child’s positive traits:
Good morning! I hope you are doing well today. Thank you for coming in to have a conference with me. I am Miss Hale and I have been student teaching here since October and I will continue in this classroom with Mrs. Allison until the beginning of May. I have enjoyed getting to know the students, specifically getting to know Kaitlyn. She is very full of energy and has a great imagination. There have been several times on the playground when she has been involved in pretend play. It was been neat watching her. She is also creative. Kaitlyn is a good writer and adds detail to her stories. I have also noticed how much she loves to add illustrations to the things she write during center time as well when she has completed an assignment. I think she liked the past few math lessons because they involved drawing math pictures. One last thing I have noticed about Kaitlyn is how helpful she is.

They both have to do with reading; hopefully these things will be beneficial for Kaitlyn so she can continue to grow in her reading ability. The first resource just talks about the importance of reading at home. When a child reads for 20 minutes each day, they are much more successful in reading. They will also read almost 2,000,00 words in a one year. This contrasts with a student who only reads 5 minutes. A student who reads only 5 minutes a day will not progress as quickly or as easily. Additionally, a child reading only 5 minutes a day will read about 60,000 words in a year. I know you are busy with work and your new baby, however, it would really benefit Kaitlyn if you have time to read with her at night. The next resource I want to give you relates to different ways Kaitlyn can practice sight words at home. This paper shows a lot of fun games such as word-bingo or “I Spy” games. Anyone can play these games with Kaitlyn at home so she can practice her sight

    Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap, and Others Don’t Report by David Smith How can a good company become a great one?

    There are no situations in which strengths based approaches are not appropriate models of care. When collaborating with the family and community to develop an appropriate care plan and effective assessment there is no right or wrong model to use. More often than not, nurses will use a combination of different models or transition between different ones through the process. In the case where a family would prefer a more practical rather than theoretical approach it is best to apply a care model that would be most beneficial to the patient and their family according to their current situation. The model used may change to better suite the family environment Doctor Mayra Allen devoted her career to nursing research and education, hoping to transform…

    This year I had the pleasure of teaching a student unlike any other I have ever met. Jamilla Allen is the type of young girl a teacher never forgets. With her sarcastic wit and dry humor, her enthusiasm and persistence in class, and her kind heart, Jamilla has made a lasting impression. Jamilla’s humor may be hard for a novice to pick up on at first. She says things with a completely straight face, making it hard to detect whether she truly means some of the rather preposterous things she says.…

    I thought the Survey of Character Strengths was an interesting survey to take. My first and second strengths were not particularly surprising to me, however my third was not what I necessarily expected it to be, but I am certainly not unhappy with it. All three strengths are values I have always admired because I have grown up watching my parents and older siblings showcase all three. I have consciously tried to emulate their example regarding these strengths and it was intriguing and encouraging to see all three show up in the survey. I was glad to see which strength showed up as my top, as kindness and generosity are especially important to me.…

    Before taking this course and being out in the field for 20 hours, special education was not my ideal teaching job. Special education was always intimidating to me because there is so much important information that is needed. IEP’s, parents, and goal setting are just a few to name that intimidated me until now. After getting to experience being in a special education room with the students and asking Nicole Degroot questions about these topics, I now I feel that special education may be the positon for me. From the first day of my observation hours, Mrs. Degroot made me feel completely welcome and comfortable, which made the experience that much better.…

    The definition of empowerment is, “The process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights,” (Google). The question was, is it more effective to empower yourself or empower others? It is more effective to empower yourself rather than empower someone else. This is because when you empower yourself, you are able to make your own decision, experience more and have the ability to persevere. One reason that empowering yourself is more important than empowering other is because when you empower yourself, you are able to make decisions that benefit you.…
