Reflection As A Learning Coach

Decent Essays
As a Learning Coach at Greenbank College, I was responsible for conducting assessments with students who referred themselves or were referred by their tutor. My role was to determine supports which would allow students to successfully achieve their academic goals. This involved creating an accessible environment. For instance, providing resources such as software programs for the visually impaired, FM systems for the hard-of-hearing, adapting course material for individuals diagnosed with dyslexia or merely coaching an individual in order to increase their confidence. In addition to ensuring supports were in place, I was responsible for supporting learners during their educational sessions, providing course assistance to tutors during sessions

    Compensation helps students work around deficit areas by using their strengths. According to Debbie Parks (2018), a Professionally Certified Educational Therapist, tutoring helps to reteach the student what they did not master in the classroom and only treat the symptoms and typically focuses on content (Parks, 2018). With both of these approaches, the student is limited on what they can learn independently. Educational therapy wants to know why that student could not master the material on their own, and teaches them how to become independent, successful learners. Students’ are trained just above their level of functioning to overcome their learning weaknesses.…

    As everyone talks about how amazing the Technology Management Program is at UCSB, I could not agree more and now fully understand what they mean and thoroughly enjoy these classes. I am excited to be able to apply our TMP 111 speaker’s ideas and advice to my day to day life in the present as well as influencing my decisions and choices for the rest of my life. The thing I enjoyed most about the speakers were their ability to relate back to us college students, and provide a realistic example that what we are doing right now directly impacts our future. Three principles I am taking away with me from this class correlate to motivation; because I have a small idea of what career path I want to follow but not a great amount of confidence I can get…

    In matching Janet’s posture, language and tone, I reflected back to Janet her external behaviours. When I commented to Janet “and because you know that at the base of it’s not you it’s him” I put into my words her thoughts regarding his behaviour. Janet’s response of “well that’s the thing, I don’t let it affect me anymore…” allowed her to then explore why her reactions to her ex-husband had changed. I found this skill of counselling particularly difficult in this session due to our friendship.…

    When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…

    Reflection: The Leader, The Teacher & You Summary The book provides Mr Lim Siong Guan’s insights of leadership that he has gathered from his years in the civil service. It is structured into 2 parts, ‘The Teacher’ which focuses on Mr Lim’s lessons learnt from his teachers and experiences in civil service, and ‘The Leader’, where he shares his insightful thoughts on leadership within a set of principles. The final section ‘The Leader, The Teacher’ concludes his view that a true leader should not be concerned with purely his own success, but to be a teacher who rejoices when his students are able to maximise their full potential. To me, the book is not specifically discussing on leadership within the civil service sector itself, but stays relevant to all who wants to positively influence people around them.…
