This class is going to get me where to the point where I need to be with interviewing a patient and being able to gain respect and trust with my patients. With the two interviews we have done in class, I can see where I have improved as an interviewer and where I need significant improvement on my interviewing skills. Opening the two interviews, I thought I did a much better job at…

What is the nature of the variation across cultures in what people perceive and (for color terms) in what terms they use? Include the following in your answer: phonogram, reflectance, phoneme, allophone, distinctive feature, opponent process, implicational universal, basic color…

says all we need to do is ask the QBQ. Asking positive, solution-based questions is the best way to achieve personal accountability. By eliminating blame and instead asking better QBQs, Miller claims we will be transformed. The QBQ way is solely about looking beyond our initial questions and asking better ones! Miller claims, “the answers are in the questions” (p. 18). To me, this means that as soon as we start asking better, more positive questions, we will get better, more positive answers! As…

understand the lesson. If students got stuck on a problem she would simply ask them to think about what the problem is asking. If students still do not understand she would guide them to the answer. Another way she used scaffolding was using manipulatives to represent the problem. If a student raised their hand to answer the question but was stuck on answering she would call on another student to help the classmate. Finally, Mrs. Myers would ask the students to think back to their Spanish lesson…

hoping she would change her body movement to me, giving me that “power” but she didn’t. During the whole interview we both held very different positions; holding movement dissynchrony. During this time, I felt extremely rude. I felt like I wasn’t giving her the respect she was giving me by letting me interview her in the first place. I thought that maybe mid-interview she would ask if we could be done, and head to the movies which was our planned event after this. When I am having conversation…

Quality of Feedback consistently provides hints or assistance to scaffold children’s learning. For example, as the children discussing the calendar instead of providing the children with the answers consider asking questions or provide additional resources that will lead the children to the answer. As we look closer at Quality of Feedback, consider opportunities to frequently engage children in a meaningful back and forth exchanges to encourage them to reach a deeper understanding of a topic…

Being able to go out and observe in a classroom is something that makes me so excited to be a teacher in the future. I was able to observe a classroom and learn many techniques to encourage learning. On October 11 I went to Discovery Elementary School to observe in Mrs. Hibma’s classroom. This was a 3rd grade classroom, and this interested me because I would love to teach 3rd grade. There were 27 students in the classroom, which I found to be a large classroom. However, the classroom atmosphere…

There is always that one person who makes everything around you better. That same person you are always in awe of. For me that person is Mike. He is many things to me but most importantly my best friend. When things throughout my day go wrong, he is always there to turn them around. As he says, it’s just because he is awesome, but I think it’s the way his deep brown eyes light up when he smiles. The advice he gives me or anyone for that matter is always logical and ends up being the best…

sensitive skin and when I went into her bathroom to see how it was set up I did notice she had a body wash specifically for sensitive skin. However, when it came to questions about her past she could not always give me an answer.

From the things she was saying it was almost as if her grandkids told her she couldn’t do anything right and that she was…
