I knew Sabrina had a long history working in admissions and I was interested in learning more about her experiences. To begin Sabrina provided me with background information on what led her to being an admission counselor. Similar to myself, she never really thought about a career in higher education. Sabrina explained to…

teacher than I think I would have in a bigger setting. Although tutoring in the past for me hasn’t been proven to work, in this instance it was beneficial. I interpret the word learning as either acquiring new knowledge or adjusting the knowledge you already have. So I would have to conclude that learning mathematics can be defined as gaining a new understanding of “basic” theorems of math and dissecting them and breaking them down to the core, to get a raw and pure look at what it…

achieve your goals. This positive energy is helping me to keep away from stagnation and making the transition easy from LPN to RN. The skills that I learned into my LPN are applicable in my practical or professional life. As an LPN student when we were learning about tracheostomy suction, our instructor told us how important is the timing when u suctioned the tracheostomy. When I started work, I had a young patient in pre-Op her mother was doing her trach suction and I started counting the…

Reading Instruction has stimulated many discussions among educators in the past few years. There has been an increase in the use of reading in multiple content areas in the past few years.

This summer, I interned for Stonegate Mortgage Corporation’s Information Technology Department, located in Carmel, IN. During the duration of my internship I was exposed to things I had not experienced from my prior internship at Pacers Sports and Entertainment, nor from classwork at Butler University. Overall, the experience at Stonegate Mortgage has been a positive one, filled with mistakes I learned from; the primary lesson learned during the internship was that some projects may seem perfect…

There were also questions to gauge the students’ personality as far as if they viewed themselves as outgoing and social or reserved and shy. The survey included questions to determine the learning styles of the students using the multiple intelligences such as visual,…

good way to understand the importance of assessment is to think about learning outcomes. If students automatically learned what they were taught, we would never need to assess; we could instead just keep records of what we had taught. But every teacher knows, many students do not learn what they are taught. Willoughby (2010) argued that “No two students enter a classroom with identical abilities, experiences, and needs. Learning style, language proficiency, background knowledge, readiness to…

ideas of how to deal with children. I learned some valuable motivational techniques to use with my future students. Also, I witnessed the joy and satisfaction that comes from being an educator. For example, when you help a child overcome obstacles in learning and encouraged them not to give up. I learned that I will need to be aware of the challenges students face outside of class and how it will affect their behavior. Therefore, I will have to use a variety of classroom management techniques…

All in all: Psychology of Self Development, Philosophy, Ethics and Art of the Film have made contributions to my persona, and perhaps not directly to my…
