We looked at that and thought “Four people is way too many. There shouldn’t be even one person that doesn’t clearly understand what is expected of them.” In the same survey mentioned above, respondents were asked if they felt their teammates had their back. While 78.5% said, agree or strongly agree, there was a shocking 21.5% that either disagreed or were indecisive of agreeing or disagreeing.…
Mason and Prior (2008) report that engagement refers to the process of utilising a combination of effective techniques designed to encourage willing participation in intervention; whereby young people take an active role in the process, rather than passive. In addition to this, Bateman and Hazel (2013) observe that engagement not only requires involvement from a young person, but also extends to the techniques used by practitioners to enhance young people’s engagement in programmes of intervention. Fredricks et al. (2004) identified three elements of engagement in educational settings; cognition, behaviour and emotion; these elements interrelate.…
With more satisfied employees and more satisfied patients, an organization can most likely look forward to repeat visits by patients and anticipate the power of positive, word-of-mouth reviews. What staff and personal are experiencing in the organization is what matters and needs to be focused on: the culture. Saks (2006) was one of the first to note the important distinction between job engagement and organizational engagement. Saks determined that perceived organizational support predicts both job and organization engagement.…
These four characteristics are good ways and techniques to help entice students into learning. Also, these characteristics would be very beneficial toward teachers and students as well. We would think if the student have lack of engagement into learning activities, the student is not motivate. According to Perks and Middleton, "lack of student engagement in a given activity does not mean that students are not motivated, just that they are motivated to do something else at that…
The four sources of behavior are Social-Structural, Cultural, Biological, and psychological. Starting off with Biological it which is genetics, milestones, physical changes, physical illness, congenital issues. For example, Fedal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is when a mother drinks while she is pregnant, and the drinking causes FAS. A child born with FAS is a little slower, and their development is a behind other than that they look as normal as any other child. One women from the video we watched in class said that she felt as if she was stupid because no matter how hard she tried she did not comprehend school work.…
The instrument used to measure participants’ engagement was adapted from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The NSSE is a self-report instrument that assesses the extent to which students engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. Since it was launched in 2000, approximately 5 million students at over 1,600 colleges and universities have completed the NSSE (NSSE, 2014). For Axelson and Flick (2011), it is no exaggeration to say of the NSSE that most college teachers and administrators automatically think of it whenever they hear the term student…
Followers are major contributors to the success of any organization. It is important for leaders to understand this and empower followers to take on the ethical traits found in effective leaders. The importance of a follower’s ability to cooperate with leadership in achieving goals and metrics dictates their value to the organization.

My relationship with engagement fluctuates. I wish to engage myself in activities provided by my school, or even programs outside of school, but I have no interest in them—I’m afraid of commitment. I don’t want to be disappointed or regret that I wasted my time on something I didn’t enjoy. I’m hoping to join the Honors Program at UHM to challenge myself to commit in an environment already meant to be engaging. After being immersed in this setting, I plan to use this skill in life to succeed at everything I try by staying focused and not giving up whether I enjoy it or not.…

“The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things”, these are the wise words of Jean Piaget. Although I have learned so many valuable future teaching tools from my current study of curriculum, two of the most important takeaways we have discussed, for me personally, are backward lesson planning and active engagement. These topics have shaped my outlooks as a future teacher and I cannot wait to implement them into my classroom. Lesson development and progression assist teachers with the finest lessons possible. Learning the correct curriculum and aligning it with the common core standards are vital to ensure that children receive the best education possible.…

Student engagement is an important concept in learning. It refers to attention and interest in what is being taught (Strong, Silver, & Robinson, 1995). It increases academic achievement and active learning (Strong, Silver, & Robinson, 1995), Students must be motivated to learn in order to be engaged. Without motivation, students will be disengaged meaning they will lack interest in the class and will not be motivated to complete tasks that are imperative for learning (Strong, Silver, & Robinson, 1995). According to Taylor & Parsons (2011), high school students who are disengaged are more likely to drop out which makes it imperative that students at an early age are kept motivated to learn and interested in what they are learning.…
The role accountability plays in ensuring the consistent delivery of quality care are: - It measures and hold people accountable for the action performed and encourage self-leadership and teamwork in order to achieve a desired goal.

Leaders are to set an example, if they are not accountable to the mission, values and goals of the organization…
In order for the improvement, it is best to define my professional purpose. Once my professional purpose is being defined, it will work around me and shaping my behavior accordingly just like Mary Gentile, in her book Giving Voice to Value, she said, “think of our purpose in a broader sense as building and being part of a company that is a respected corporate citizen.” We would have a standard guide of positive principle and goals we can use to guide our behavior, especially when we confront values conflicts in the…
