Need to know

a visionary leader is “clear about what he/she believes and knows what is best for children-for their academics, social and emotional learning” (What Makes a Great Principal June 10,2014). A great leader…

try to distract other peers while in the middle of instructions or lessons. Again, I had to learn how to be firm, which is something I was not good at before, and I definitely still have a long way to go. Thirdly, I learned these kids seriously just need all the love you can possibly give them! They really just want to have a relationship with you and they want to play. I found that the more I actually engaged the kids and played with them the more fun I had. I think the best feeling I had…

This is an amazing way to let friends know that you value and appreciate them just for who they are not for what they do for you. It also allows time to be spent doing something you enjoy with someone you enjoy. One thing I do on a bi-weekly basis is go to swing dancing. I enjoy this, and it…

accomplishing, particularly something that would require a lot of hard work, changing a deeply imbedded habit or becoming more like a hero or role model. How can you imagine changing the world. Something I deeply care about is how successful I am. I know this sounds bad but I promise it’s not. I want to be able to give my family whatever they want. I don’t want them to have to worry about whether there will be food on the table or not. I want to be the best for them not me. If you cannot think…

I was shocked and surprised by how Sula was treated differently in “the bottom” the black section of Medallion, Ohio. Social convention, identity, love, and friendship, play a significant part role in this story. While other focused on conforming to the social norm, Sula was a confident woman who wanted to create herself and live a life full of adventure and curiosity. I was thrilled to see how Nellie and Sula were viewed on a single term of how they conform to society. Within the community,…

her life. We fell into poverty. I watched her try to get through the situation and provide for her family. This was a never ending cycle of failure with no outlet. I could see she wanted to be a great mother and return to good health, she just didn’t know how. She didn’t have health insurance. Access to health care and the support necessary for her to break free of these illnesses were unavailable. Looking back, I believe if she could have received the care she needed, things would have been…

voice, and be able to express my opinions. I have worked with teachers that don’t always know how to approach children in the proper manner. For example: screaming at a child that comes from an abusive home. The child will only react defensively and shut others out. Sometimes with our students we are the only signs of love and affection that they will ever receive in their lives. So as educators we have to know how to approach properly children. Do to the fact that I am just an aide we have to…

group members. The counselor should be able to identify each member characteristics as it will help the counselor know the group members. I also learn the ethical and legal issues of counseling groups. Before the counselor starts the group counseling, the counselor needs to go over legal and ethical issues with the group. One of the ethical concerns is confidentiality. Counselor needs to make sure every members understand confidentiality. The counselor can have members acknowledge…

the information and need to be employed frequently (Carey, 2014). I have talked with teachers that suggest state tests (or district tests) too much work, and sometimes, a waste of time, and Carey mentioned something similar in Chapter 5. However, each test can work as an additional study session (Carey,…

When you make the decision to dye your hair, you are making a statement. When I first dyed my hair blue, I felt like I could finally express myself and create something I could be proud of. Later in life, I realized I could take that passion and turn it into a profession. I learned about cosmetology, and how in a as little as 9 to 2 year programs I could become an expert in hair, beauty and skin care. Cosmetology combines cutting, styling and coloring hair. I realized this was the career for me…
