Lesson Five: Essay Analyzing Group Process Jessica, my bestfriend and small business owner, has been having a rough time getting her sunglasses to sell in the wintertime. Over Saturday night dinner, Jessica expressed her frustration about SoShadyFrames by saying “My line isn’t doing so well, I don’t think this is the right business for me” Although, I wanted to encourage her and tell her not to give up, I thought this dilemma was perfect for this assignment. The next day I invited Jessica and some other friends to come over and discuss possible solutions to Jessica’s depletion in sales.…
Three important skills that are needed when working in groups are cooperation, and leadership. When I am around a small group, I have no fear in discussing with every member, compared to when I am in a larger group where I have issues speaking with everyone. In smaller groups, it is easier for me to pay attention to everyone’s idea. My ability to pay attention have helped me become a better listener, respond to other group members ideas with full understanding. To be involved in a small group, members of that group must have the ability to cooperate.…

The world has definitely changed over the years, and especially in business since the early years of Peter Drucker. But the changes in the business world were inevitable, and Peter had already started coming up with ways to get ready for these changes. His knowledge and insight on the functions of organizations and management was truly ahead of his time. In the book, The Definitive Drucker, by Elizabeth Haas Edersheim, Drucker had many great ideas about the business world, and how it could be improved. The ideas from the Drucker that not only stood out to me, but also that I could relate to were leadership, and collaboration.…
The overwhelming success of the implementation of our plan proved that the collaborative team worked very well together and was successful in achieving our goals that we established at the beginning of the collaborative process. You can see from the videos provided that the team was very positive, worked well together, and were focused throughout the entire process. The team was able to measure our success based on increased student engagement and improved teaching practices while utilizing the additional technology in our school. Members of the team reported back in the final meeting at the end of our process what each of us felt the strengths and weaknesses were of the plan and how we each felt the students and staff did throughout the implementation…
Collaboration Characteristics Assignment Overview Professional collaboration has been viewed as a beneficial tool for helping teachers and other professionals serve students with disabilities (Brownell, Adams, Sindelar, Waldron, & Vanhover, 2006; Ritzman, Sanger, & Coufal, 2006) and has been deemed as the best practice in special education (Cross, Traub, Hutter-Pishgahi, & Shelton, 2004; Barnes & Turner, 2001; Kurjan, 2000; Pena & Quinn, 2003). Gable, Mosert, and Tonelson (2004) recognized the growing emphasis on collaboration as an important strategy for educators asked to take on a wider range of responsibilities in today’s schools. Ritzman et al. (2006) noted the support collaboration offers to teachers when working with students with significant…
Every person has different strategies when it comes to learning and working either alone or collaboratively within a group. I consider myself a doer. I take pride in diving straight into the workload and scratching something off of my to-do list. Awareness of what is happening, who is getting what done, and the accuracy of all materials being produced within a group is extremely important to me. Because of how motivated I am in a group to complete the task at hand, I am quick to give my ideas and visions for the final product which makes me the usual group leader.…
I enjoyed reading your group consensus write-up, it seems like you have had some good experiences working in group environments. I thought it was extremely smart of you to provide the examples throughout the write-up on your past experiences. I applaud you for being the strength in your home when your husband travels to ensure the needs of the entire family are met. While there will be days of challenges, I encourage you to “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always) (1 Chronicles 16:11 New International Version). Soon enough you will come into a harvest that is overflowing because of seeds you planted Mary and your selfless ways.…
As a collaborator, my strengths were that I made sure that everything got done on time and that it was done right. My weaknesses were that I didn’t really talk to my group as much as I should have and I kind of didn’t put responsibility on anyone but myself. Group work requires talking to others, otherwise you’ll just pull all of the weight and the other group members will get a free ride. Honestly, I feel comfortable controlling the whole process of group work and have people just follow what I say so I know that things are getting done right. This is probably not good, but I don’t feel like I can trust groups because a lot of the time people don’t do what they’re supposed to.…

On Monday, May 23rd, at 3:30pm, I presented my WISE project. That day was very hectic for me because I had little time to prepare for the presentation because the past week had been "hell week" for the spring play, meaning I had rehearsals and performances all week long. It took all of Sunday to recreate the outline that I had lost when my computer broke, gather photos, put the presentation together, and create my presentation packet. So, I had no time to actually rehearse and tweak my presentation until the day of my presentation. Looking back, I wish I had budgeted my time a little better to help my presentation run smoother, however I felt that I did the best I could with the time that I had to prepare.…
In instructional design, evaluation of and reflection on product and process is critical. As an instructional designer, I must continue to reflect on my skills and growth as I reflect on my work.

Motivation is defined as the desire to achieve a goal or a certain performance level, leading to goal-directed behavior. When refer to someone as being motivated, it means that the person is trying hard to accomplish a certain task. Motivation is clearly important if someone is to perform well; however, it is not sufficient.
