Reflection On Being A Member Of A Teaching Team At Weber Middle School

Improved Essays
1. As a member of a teaching team at Weber Middle School, you will receive a grade for your team work and presentation. Your score is based on the personal assessment rubric. Please comment on why you believe you deserve all 100% of your team’s points. (Realize this does not mean you are taking points from your teammates. It simply requires you to consider what you did for your team and why, when using the personal rubric, one should score you with all 5s. If you don’t believe you deserve all 5s, discuss this as well. Throughout the group project, I have actively participated, thought about being developmentally responsive, and had a good attitude. I was fortunate to have a group that got along well, respected each other, and enjoyed spending …show more content…

Middle schoolers are constantly growing physically, mentally, and emotionally. This can create some problems or issues for students to concentrate in a classroom. Many females want to check how they look constantly, so they ask to go to the restroom. To fix the problem of students constantly asking to go to the restroom, I should place a mirror in my classroom. Another problem is that students have a hard time sitting in their seats and listening for the whole class period, so I need to segment the material and allow the students to get up and move around. Middle school is also the time where students need to find their group, and they will do anything to find that group. I could foster friendly relationships with all students by placing students in groups to work on specific projects or for discussions. These are just a few ways I can be developmentally responsive in my future

The project provides “adult role models who volunteer to work with students to improve their grades, attendance and behaviors” (Wicomico County Public Schools).

    As a sophomore at Washington High school, over the last two years, I have been able to see the impact that the National Honor Society has made on our school, first hand. Seeing the positive changes being made, I have always been drawn to do the same. I have come to understand that the members of the society are the elite in scholarly ability, character, and self-commitment, who possess the knowledge and the drive to do what is necessary to better our school’s community as a whole. In writing this letter, I intend to share my understanding of the society, its role in our community, and the plans I look forward to completing as a potential future member.…

    Middle school can be an odd and rough time for kids, as they change from being sheltered youth to responsible young adults. I failed miserably at handling that transition. The classes taught in middle school were supposed to be easy, especially now that I look in retrospect. Yet, I regularly brought home B’s and low A’s, at best, on my report card. I had barely challenged myself in middle school, if at all.…

    The North Dakota Association of Honor Society has four criteria that all members should possess and applicants must meet all four to be inducted: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Since I have been given the opportunity to fill out the application for the Honor Society and write this essay, I clearly have demonstrated skill in the Scholarship area. However, that still leaves three other areas. First is the area of Leadership. I have been entrusted by my peers to serve in various leadership positions both in the school and through other activities that I am involved with, which range from Class President to serving as a member of the school's Peer Leader Team.…

    I got the opportunity to do my internship at Houston Methodist West Hospital. I have been working for Methodist for the past 4 years in our registration department and out of those four years, I have had the opportunity to work with 3 different management teams. Although, each of my management teams delivered different methods on how to properly register a patient under 7 min or less, our goal we have always strived for was keeping our patient satisfaction scores at a high. Our organization implemented a strategy called AIDET, (Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explain, and Thank you) to make this process work effectively. As our patient were very impressed with our ICARE values, (Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence)…

    I remember the first day of middle school as a sixth grader. I was nervous yet excited to meet new friends, though I’m not the best at it. I would head to the cafeteria every morning as soon as my dad dropped me off. My friends and I along with many other students would gather around the cafeteria before class starts, but far across the table I was sitting was a different table. That table had students that seem to me, very uncontrollably hyper and obnoxious but isolated.…

    The group whose popup exhibition I have chosen to do my analysis on is Group A+ created a sculpture of Mao in the form of a Podium made from wood which stood to the height of a person and had various propaganda pieces that formed its body with a centerpiece that states serve the people, but the most interesting part of this piece is that while it is centred around glorifying Mao with propaganda it’s face does the opposite in the way that they portray Mao, Ultimately Mao is given an unflattering expression. Another one is that while it is a Podium it also looks like a human being bowing down to people so in a way it's been personified to be a political stand that has been created for the people but in reality it is just another platform for other means. Among the propaganda art was used on the body many of them were used as a means to…

    I have been taking this class for nearly three months. During three months, I learned a lot about small group communication, especially the group climate and interaction are going well in our group. Our group works well on building and keeping positive attitude to our assignments and supportive climate. Each group member devotes to create an atmosphere that our group is the best group. For instance, our group member Erik and Jo always said some words of praise and encouragement, such as “we are really a good group”.…

    Introduction In this reflection, I will focus on some important topics such as, what I learned about individual and business taxation from this course, what was my experience with the group project and what were the challenges that I faced during both the group project and this course. I am also going to add some main overall points that I learned. Tax is generally an amount of money that is charged by a government on a product, income, or activity so that it can pay for public services. In addition, there are several very common types of taxes: • Income Tax (a percentage of individual or corporate earnings filed to the government) • Sales Tax (taxes charged on certain goods and services) • Property Tax (taxes charged on the value of land…
