In this video, we are taken into Ms. Matheson’s robotics class. She starts off with demonstrating what is needed for the presentation and to communicate it effectively. Proper communication is imperative when dealing with any project or life period. I know that for teachers it is very important they are able to properly communicate. Being a Physical Education, I can’t explain how it is important it is to get students to communicate properly. We would need this to effective discuss health topics…

If I attend culinary school it will most likely be one of the most challenging things in life for me. Mainly because cooking is what I'm truly passionate about so I just want to be as good at it as I possibly can.

In five to ten years I hope to have pursued my goal of learning cooking skills. I…

I’m glad I had the opportunity to take EDUC 203 with you. You are an amiable person. Professor McArthur, Thank you! I must admit this class wasn’t what I expected.

The processes that Blue Dragon have found to be the most successful when taking kids off of the street and offering them opportunities to gain an education have been to approach them personally and offer them a safe place to get a warm meal (Brosowski. M. 2017). They do this by looking in areas that the children are most likely to be, this means thinking like a street kid and being able to go where they are. Often these places that the children have deemed safe from law enforcement and predators…

I also worked at a school-aged summer camp and a daycare that helped me to realize just how much I like working with children and watching them learn and grow. Through Duquesne, I was able to do a Practicum at a developmental, play-centered, preschool. There, I got to see intervention techniques and ways to help preschoolers prepare for kindergarten. All of these opportunities working with children helped me to gain a feel for all different kinds of children, and I realized that it was my…

According to Rae Stanforth, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is one of the things that contribute to lacking of time for himself. As a special education teacher he has many responsibilities to take into action, he stands as a case manager of the cases of his students with special needs. He said that making an IEP is not an easy task for him because he needs to beat the deadline. Students with different exceptionalities need to have an IEP so if he handles two or more students, it takes him…

I enjoyed this class immensely because it took me out of my comfort zone. I've always appreciated quality furniture, and art work, but I never put the energy or effort to try to apply any knowledge or order designing rooms in my house.

This class helped me reflect and access my motives, and thoughts for the past 30…
