Supervised learning

In my college career which has been around 4 years now, these first two weeks are the first of any trimester or semester that instead of being enrolled in classes, I’m enrolled in an internship. This is definitely a change from the norm but at the same time it is exciting as well. It gives me the opportunity to use or observe some of the material that I have learned so far in my classes at Johnson & Wales in a real scenario. This internship allows me as well to gain much needed additional…

I have been blessed with the opportunity the past two years to serve the Monmouth College community by being a residence life staff member. I have many assets that have contributed to the success of Grier Hall recently and would make good use of the opportunity to serve the residents as their HR. I enjoy working with new students at Monmouth College and aiding and encouraging them to become leaders on this campus as well. I have fine-tuned my skills and have become a respected authority…

but they did not teach us how to manage the students. After speaking with my coaching teacher and the other teachers that are part of the fifth grade team, I believe that class management is one of the most important aspect to maintaining a good learning environment. I found that if certain class management issues were not handled during the first few days of school, these issues would grow to be more difficult to handle later. One teacher specifically told me that she began the year with a…

One of the reasons I am most excited about becoming a high school agricultural science teacher is the opportunity that is available to influence students’ lives. I did not realize how much of an impact all of my teachers had on me until I began school at Texas A&M Whether it was good or bad, they helped me become the person I am today. I will forever be grateful for the lessons they taught me, and for their influence on my career choice. My results for the Texas Genuine Assessment were a…

Art has always been a significant part throughout my life, it first started off as a hobby, but later on evolved professionally when my teachers saw potential in me. The learning journey of Art has helped me to nurture and recognise my artistic and aesthetic talents. Not only has it allowed me to develop skills and techniques in art such as painting and drawing it also, opened opportunities for me to appreciate the history and culture of the wider world. My Art teachers played a significant…

(2005) discuss preservice education as well as the implications of educators using a constructivist approach to teaching and learning. Elkin’s (2004) article focuses on the conditions that are required to allow for social constructivism to take place in teaching.

subject-area learning and improve overall writing skills” (Dean-Rumsey, 1998). The term “writing to learn” (WTL) can be used interchangeably with “writing across the curriculum” (Dean-Rumsey, 1998). It seems that students who use writing as a way of learning often produce better written products than students who write because they were assigned to. “Writing across the curriculums aims to improve the quality of writing, while writing to learn focuses on better thinking and learning” (Gere,…

By creating a productive learning environment where a child feels safe to try new things I will empower them with the tools to become the best that they can be. I want each child to leave my classroom believing in themselves, and knowing that, with hard work and dedication, they…

program at UMUC as mentioned earlier. My initiative to further continue my education is an example of modeling personal development. Throughout the transition to distance training at work I have demonstrated initiative and “motivation for continuous learning” (Arneson et al., 2013, p. 89). Applying new knowledge in the field of training and development has been a rewarding experience. The training programs developed by my team have met expectations…
