Nick Munnene Essay

Improved Essays
I have interacted with Nick Munene, as his Biology and class teacher, Catholic Action (CA) patron and tennis coach. He is one of the most outstanding and exceptional students I have encountered in my career as an educator. My interaction with him goes beyond high school; I have also seen him come back to his school as a peer and assistant teacher to give back to the school that “shaped me to be the person I am today”, as he is often heard saying. Nick is a thinker, a problem solver and a constructive critic. He possesses the unique ability to conceptually construct abstract ideas and deliver them in a simplified version to his classmates. His intellectual curiosity coupled with his impressive problem solving ability sets him way above his peers. During science congress fairs, Nick was always handy, …show more content…
His devotion to this demanding task resonated well with his compassion for the less fortunate. This was vivid when he spearheaded the pilot project to allocate a generous sum of money to an orphanage from the kitty. This proved how great of a leader he is and underscored his unwavering integrity. Nick Wachira Munene is a leader, a mentor and a good time manager. His exceptional work ethic was admirable since he executed given tasks effectively and on time. His broad range of skills came in handy when he effortlessly interacted with the kids on a very personalized level and the students loved him. I therefore recommend him as a team-centered and industrious young man capable of thriving in a rigorous and demanding curriculum, and still bring vibrancy and charisma that he so wonderfully embodies. Am assured he is the breed of young individuals who will change both Africa and the world. I can confidently assert that Nick is well equipped to handle an intense workload and still bring life to any

    One day she came up with a bright idea and told her students, “You were chosen to be in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students.” Pierson, who came from a background of parents who were educators, knew how to inspire and inject enthusiasm, and, most importantly, try to build a relationship with her students. It was not easy; some of these kids were frequently absent and had negative attitudes, but it just took one action to make a reaction.

However, this is not the only issue. Women and minorities are groups that are simply not identifiable within the STEM field.…

    There are some challenges to hands on and cross-curricular learning, within our activity we came across some areas that could have been developed, Hayes (2010) argues that hands on learning its heavily resourced. We agreed with this as the amount of resources we had available were limited. We also didn’t ensure we had planned for a child with a medical need, and therefore had to re arrange the activity a quarter of the way through the lesson to ensure she could join in. One key area that we identified was that children became more involved with the way the house looked in a creative sense, rather than the scientific reasoning. This challenge is also identified by Jarvis (2009) who expresses that one of the risks to cross-curricular learning is that one subject takes over in response to children’s enthusiasm and interest, this is of a loss to the other subject.…
