Learning curve

My experience in writing in a college-level based class has taught me a lot about the strength and weakness of my writing. As a writer, I try to convey as much information as possible to the reader and make sure to clarify all of my statements. But, sometimes I jumble sentences together causing comma splices and really make it hard for the reader to essentially; read. I’m working on sentence structure to help create a flow within my writing. Along with sentence structure, organization is also…

I am in my fourth year of teaching in York County, for a total of five years teaching high school science in Virginia. During those five years, I have taught high school students at the: freshman, sophomore, junior and senior levels. Educational technology is always a vital part of each grade level. I want to be a contributing, valuable member of the Curriculum & Educational Technology (CET) program. Earning my degree in CET will help me pursue my dream of becoming a leader and innovator in…

Reflection as a Counsellor. This was a learning curve in for me in this course and I enjoyed been the counsellor even though, I was a little worried about this assessment session been that it was my first client assessment. I was mindful of my report, because the context of why the assessment and/or test were administered is important. Gersten (2013) highlights the importance of having competency to administer, score and interpret the result of a test to explain what the scores mean. Otherwise,…

First, a confession: Prior to taking this class, I was not attentive with understanding the requirements, so I will not pretend otherwise. As a student who didn’t enroll in college until my mid-thirties for reasons besides desire or ability to learn, most classes I’ve taken thus far have been very interesting to me. This one I must say, had me challenged, but not in a way I enjoy. Within my professional development, I have worked in operations and logistics for nearly two decades, but lack…

have had the opportunity to learn a great deal about myself as a leader and team member and observe others’ behaviors and how they influence the team’s dynamic and effectiveness. As a result, there were many lessons gained that helped to guide the learning environment. To begin, I exhibited what is categorized as self-limiting behavior during the first day due to my lack of comfort with the simulation exercise and my lack of familiarity with marketing. As each round occurred, I became more…

go in, I began to feel like reading was pointless, simply a waste of my time. I became uninterested in doing anything that seemed even relatively school-related, and that included reading. Being out of the school setting really put me behind the curve in my writing and literacy skills. Dealing with the trauma and seriousness of cancer made me really question why I even bothered stressing about school all these years. Adjusting to life outside of school proved to be much more difficult than I…

changed my major to Psychology and Anthropology. This lead to the realization that no-one should expect any one person to excel at everything, and that just because physics, chemistry, and advance mathematics are not the strongest aspects of a learning curve does not mean there are no other options available. Above all, the most important lesson I have…

In this report, I will be outlining a rather large learning curve which occurred for me when we were given a group presentation to complete our transition to professional life module and thus the critical incident I choose. The prompt for the presentation was to market our course to potential students on a university open day and we were told to focus on the four P’s; Plan, Prepare, Practice, Present. There were four people in my group and we all came up with a plan to delegate the workload…

excited to meet and build relationships with the kids and coworkers. Little did I realize that the job I had undertaken would affect my life on the level that it did. My goal was to be the best counselor there. It all began with training; Three days of learning the ropes…

Instead of using conflict as a means to yell at the other players, championship teams use conflicts as learning curves to better themselves, as stated before. Parkway West hockey has a bit of an issue with that. This club needs to learn that using conflict as an excuse to yell at each other is not the way to get better but by using it as an advantage to learn…
