Special school

My calling first became apparent to me during my sophomore year of college. During this time, I was completely unsure about what field of study that I wanted to follow. At that time, I was trying to think of anything that would help me think of which major I wanted to study. While doing that I remembered that when I was younger, people always told that I work well with kids. With that being said, I thought of becoming a teacher. My sophomore year I decided to become and Elementary Education…

September 22 and September 29th; 7:40 am-2: 40 pm The last two weeks have been a little crazy, to say the least. I really feel like in these past two weeks and especially today, that I have been getting really involved in day-to-day activities with the class. The past two Thursdays were pretty similar to any normal Thursday in this class. Like normal, the class eats breakfast and then does their daily jobs. I have gotten the opportunity to work with my host teacher and two students on watering…

Personal Energy and Material of Toothpaste The cycle of energy that gets put into the simple product of a tube of toothpaste is a rather lengthy one. Most people simply think of the raw materials that are put into the toothpaste, but what about the tube itself? Most people just consider the resources that are put into the paste, but what about the energy used to transport those resources or to mix them together. Perhaps one has considered the tube and the energy that was put into making it, but…

Hearne Elementary Reflection Journal For this clinical rotation, I had three different SMART objectives. These objectives covered what I wanted to learn and accomplish while at Hearne Elementary School. These three objectives are as follows: by the end of the clinical rotation I will identify an abnormal social development response to a social interaction per Wong’s Care of Infants and Children in the first grade, by the end of the clinical rotation I will identify two normal gross motor…

The speed of light is the ultimate speed limit in the universe. Which travels at 3.0 x 108 m/s in a vacuum and always moves in a straight line. When light travels to a new medium its speed and direction will change, this is called refraction. Materials have different optical density so light rays travel at different velocities. Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. Calculated by the velocity of light in vacuum divided by velocity in a…

by definition are, “Children who give evidence of high-performance capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, leadership capacity, or specific academic fields, and who require services or activities not ordinarily provided by the school in order to fully develop such capabilities.” 3.2 How does the gifted learner’s behaviour differ from the rest of the class? I was observing a Grade two class. There was a little boy who I will call ‘John’, who stood out from the rest of the…

amazing of the peoples to live on Earth, and should be remembered for all of his unique inventions. To start off, Thomas Edison, born February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio, is a revolution in history. In school, the young Thomas was a flunk, and considered mentally ill. His mother took him out of school and began homeschooling him. Thomas’ young days were a struggle, but he always pulled through, not to mention, Thomas was fascinated with chemistry. He…

am providing services while learning. The name of the organization I am working with over the spring break is identified as Special Olympics. Special Olympics has a lot of remarkable individuals, the only entity different about these individuals are their mental capacity or physical impairment; their learning performances are slightly lower than the average person. Can special needs individual obtain information and are they considered to be “normal”? These are questions that have crossed many…

There are several implementation intervention problems which make quality of the intervention degenerate in mental health research area especially aimed at immigrant children. So, I assume that the implementation intervention fidelity is a significant factor that may impact on the gaps between an intervention and outcomes. In general, implementation intervention fidelity is a key component for the well-structured implementation of evidence-based interventions in the real world settings. Since…
