PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT This week we reviewed classroom rules, good behaviour and practice using positive words with one another. Children were reminded that showing love to each and everyone is very important to maintain peace and unity in our group. We talked that we are responsible of the outcomes or consequences of our words and actions, so its good to always think ahead what's best interest for ourselves and others as well. Children were also reminded to be sensitive…

Adult Learning Paper Adult learning can be very different then how a child learns. It as proven by the research of two gentlemen, Malcolm Knowles and David Kolb. They both had their own, very similar, theories about the adult learner. Malcolm Knowles studied Andragogy and David Kolb researched experiential learning. In this paper, we will explore their theories and how it personally affects me. Although Knowles theory can pertain and be applied to both adults and children alike, it’s focus is…

In Adam Braun’s memoir and life guide “The Promise of a Pencil”, the speaker relates his journey of creating Pencils of Promise and the lessons learned along the way. He employs the rhetorical technique of flashback in a way that is both elucidating and memorable, establishing mood of unwitting self-indulgence in a tone that is both austere and sophomoric. Any college worth its salt has a motto, something to aspire to. At FIU it’s “Hope, Knowledge, Opportunity”. While sounding great in…

I believe in the importance of perseverance. Something that leads you to a long-awaited achievement despite the amount of difficulty or failures. Not a small achievement like finishing your homework right before it’s due. More like a larger than life achievement. You end up jumping for joy and smiling from ear to ear because you worked so hard. Sometimes I don’t always believe in myself, that I might not try as much as I should to meet my goal. There came a time where I wanted to give up. When I…

The path I am on is paved with tile floors, and the lights above flicker in a way that reminds me of a school hallway. The path is seemingly endless, constantly branching, and is a mystery. Whenever it splits I am always presented with two choices: to go left, or to go right. The left path is always bright with sparkling floors and fresh air. The right path is much more foreboding. Most of the time, I can’t see more than a few feet in front of me and the air is heavy. I always try to go down the…

English 1303 was filled with many activities consisting of the writer 's toolbox, vocabulary logs, different rhetorical essays, timed writings, presentations, and, much more. I vividly remember the assignment that was introduced to us as the “cookie rubric.” Our assignment was to create a rubric based off the characteristics, texture, appearance, taste, and smell of cookie. It was honestly one of the most constructive assignments I have done, due to the fact that I had to be so precise with each…

Different Educational Conversations Education takes many different forms. It does not always have to involve an academic setting with a person who takes the role of a dominant teacher passing on known information to students that are not knowledgeable in the subject. Education also take place in a peer-to-peer conversation, in other words among those with equal amounts of knowledge who exchange ideas and/or perspectives. Education, in my theory, is when people become present in each other’s…
