Realizing what I have been through in the past 13 weeks, I have been somewhat content with how I have been doing. Again, when one always says somewhat content, I feel I have been doing pretty well and say somewhat because we all know we can always find a way to do better. With all of that being said the highest I have scored on an exam in Anatomy & Physiology I was an eighty-three percent. My scores in anatomy have been almost always above average, so not extremely worried, I will and already…
Before we began walking as a group we took a few minutes to discuss what we thought we would hear during the Soundwalk. We assumed that we would be hearing the buzzing of busy Toronto streets, lots of cars and people continuing on their daily routines in the midst of Chinatown. We anticipated music coming from stores, the occasional ringing of a telephone and possibly an emergency vehicle alarm, but we didn’t know if all of these elements would be heard during our walk. We do not feel that the…
Callan, I think you post is very thorough and accurate. In chapter five, the language barrier also called my attention, and it was thought-provoking to learn how this affects refugees and immigrants. As an immigrant that came to this country only four years ago, I experienced acculturative stress. As an example, I used to be afraid to interact with people in any capacity due to fear to be laughed at and embarrassed. Even going to the movies, was stressing. Nonetheless, I have been able to learn…

Following the designated ethical codes of your specialty is of utmost importance. Professional codes guide our judgement, practice, and sound decisions.

writings above have a specific idea that they are trying to argue and get their point across. “On Reflection” gives a more scientific approach to the audience with facts about reflection and she repeats on how good it is for teaching people how to write. She gives this very direct approach to the audience by saying, “Reflective classrooms, where we teach writing “reflectively” -by which I mean using reflections…
Mrs. Goff, a first grade teacher at Tuscarora Elementary School and a member of the Berkley County First Grade Leadership Team, presented a professional development on OneNote in the ballroom at Shepherd University. OneNote is an app that comes with Microsoft word or it can be accessed through getting online with a Microsoft account. OneNote serves multiple purposes, holding lesson plans, seating charts, substitute notes, and grades all without having to use a single piece of paper. When the…
Undoubtedly, the intervention I was assigned to had an affect on my wellbeing during the experimental period this semester. It would be naive to credit the activity entirely or even significantly for the affects, however taking part in the weekly task certainly contributed in part. Wellbeing is a complex term that encompasses a plethora of different subjections. Expressing gratitude is an example of one variable that comprises wellbeing, just as maintaining healthy relationships or learning…
Teachers should always be evaluating their practices to become a better teacher. There should not be a single teacher who does the same exact lesson every year. As time changes and as students change, the lessons should reflect that. In order to know what I need to teach I look at the SOL and unpack each standard.
