Five Minutes

"Catherine! Wake up! You overslept. Don 't want to be late on the first day of school, you have 30 minutes!" My over excited mum squeaked. I was 17 and yet she acts like I am a 10 year old on their birthday. So far, I have been to literally 12 different schools in the last 3 years, so it is hard being excited for another one. After about another 5 long minutes, I decided to finally get out of bed. "Honey, you have 5 minutes before we have to leave!" My mum yelled at the top of her lungs. "You just said I had thirty minutes five minutes ago!" I screamed back. After finishing to curl my blond hair and putting on my Michael Kors boots, I walked down stairs. Mum was greeting me at the door way like she always does. "Could we take a few pictures?" She pleaded.…

Today I got the chance to observe one kid for a whole 5 minutes in this class. Throughout these 5 minutes I felt that I have learned a lot about the student and the job itself. The student's name is Lucas Lin and he is five years old. I observed that Lucas's interactions are not as strong as other students in the class. Lucas is always moving and has high energy but I found that he struggles to talk to other students because I think he doesn't know how express himself. For example, the student…

ideas that were used to counting up how many idea units were written correctly. For a majority of tests there were two raters, and we found between the two raters scoring “The Sun” was in agreement 97% of the time and “Sea Otters” was in agreement 94% of the time. Our first hypothesis was that recall for the study/study condition will be higher than for the study/test condition for the five minute delay. Our second hypothesis was that recall for the study/test condition should be higher than…

The 1:3 principle means that every meeting should have a specific, ONE-sentence purpose, and it should have no more than THREE desired outcomes. If you need to get more than three outcomes from a single meeting, you need to schedule another meeting. KEY 2: Timing Always start your meetings exactly on time and stop five minutes before the scheduled end time. Why stop five minutes early? The reason most people show up late for meetings is because they are booked back to back. If you were an…

1. Why do you want to be a Lead Consultant? Being a lead consultant would allow me to better my team, myself and next year’s associate consultants. I know that I have what it takes to lead a team at SOURCE. As an ESTJ, I live for organization and deadlines. I love to updates calendars, make agendas and create timelines. Two of my greatest strengths are organizing others’ ideas and thinking of pragmatic approaches to big ideas. I know that having this personality type would allow me to create…

Agenda For each meeting, you need to decide who the most critical people are who need to be there. Without an agenda, you can’t possibly know who should be at the meeting. Consequently, an effective meeting starts with the agenda. Before the meeting decide: what you want to cover, what order you will present each agenda item, and how many minutes you will spend on each one. Get good at letting people know they don’t always have to attend every meeting. You don’t need your lab technician to be…

out in cheers and applause upon the bill’s approval. Upon researching it later, I learned this would affect over 2,000 service employees of “city-subsidized” buildings, including universities and hospitals. Following the conclusion of the agenda items were some additional resolutions, all unanimously passing, and speeches made by council members. 2. Critical Evaluation of the Meeting Although the historic interior was as impressive and grand as I had hoped it would be, I was surprised the…

We have not yet determined a suitable time for us to meet that fits best with our schedules. If one group members cannot be present, it is still important to hold meetings. In the case that someone is absent, someone will take meeting minutes and forward it out to the group in an email. If our schedules do not align and we cannot ever hold in-person meetings, we will communicate through technology including email, GroupMe, and Google Docs. It will be very difficult to find a time to meet that…

Forum B unit 3 - “The First Five Minutes” How important are the first five minutes of the class? The first five minutes of the class are as important as the first impression one must leave during a job interview (you only get one shot at it). Those first minutes are crucial because it is during those first five minutes, or so, that teacher and students connect. What message and impression is passed on to the students by the teacher may very well determine the outcome of the lesson to be…
