“Making decisions based on knowledge and using that knowledge as a basis for reflection is the core of Professionalism”. ( Eggen & kauchak p.6) And to add, to critically asses our actions as a teacher is an important tool to adhere and this is better known as Reflective Practice. Overall there are always going to be differences between veterans and pre service teachers, it is the way they execute them that makes a good or a great teacher.

In Ehrenreich’s article she states, “…Most of what you need to know you’re going to learn on the job anyway.” I think this example of Ehrenreich’s opinion from her article is just being used to sway the audience to side with her. I feel that college creates passion for students. I’m in college with a major of Administration of Justice and I absolutely love this career choice. My instructor has certainly sparked my interest with this class, which has given me the passion I
Torell Wallace Writing is an important, almost vital, part of everyday living. In this paragraph I am going to discuss the importance of writing academically and professionally. Academically writing is vital. As a student writing helps you produce facts, statements, and opinions without getting confused and without confusing your reader or audience. A student can use writing as a learning experience as well; by using the material obtained to ask worthwhile questions, explain details to readers, and get feedback from the material.
Reflective Journal 1 – My Experience with Persuasive Writing Melody D. Williams ENG 215 – Research and Writing Prof. Holly Sprinkle January 20, 2013 My Experiences with Persuasive Writing With persuasive writing we try to convince our audience that they should agree with our point of view based on facts, and knowledge. I use persuasive writing in several aspects of my life from business, to college, and even in my family life. In my professional life, I use persuasive writing to convince employees of the benefits of contributing to the company’s 401K plan, participating in the Education program, and enrolling in the Health Benefit program. By showing the employees in writing the benefits of each of these programs with facts to back up my suggestions, they are able to get a clear picture of how they would benefit from participating. During my education, I will use persuasive writing to create papers that will demonstrate my understanding of the subject being discussed, as well as to convince the professor that I have done research and that I am knowledgeable about the subject being discussed.
What a student writes about and how they write it represents who they are and what kind of student they will be. Being a student, one has to have the initiative to be honest and fully participate in all courses by turning in original work, properly acknowledging sources, and practicing honesty with other students and faculty. During a student’s academic life, they will be asked to do many assignments that require research and with newfound knowledge, realizing that these must be properly documented. In the future they will also be asked to solve difficult questions and ask to complete written papers that will require original thinking and that will
Personal Reflection Paper Willie R. Jones AET 505 July 11, 2011 Dr. Donna Rice Personal Reflection Paper The purpose of this paper is to tell the reader why I want to become an adult educator. I will become an adult educator because I do not have patience with children or intermediate age children. I have family members in the teaching profession. Some teaches at elementary schools and one teaches at the collegiate level. I have had conversations with them, and they related patience is something needed if you want to become a good teacher at any level.
After answering all those questions I will be reading a lot about that specific area and take notes, interview people who have knowledge about what I am writing, do a research about it and above all get advice from my professor. Writing is a lifelong practice and it can be a challenge for someone who just starts to learn about it. I believe the biggest challenge for me will be to understand what the audience expects from my paper and adjust the content
Second, I think she really cared about her students’ reason being she took time to make sure they could spot the wrong grammar. She also asks them questions about the paragraphs. She then asks them to continue from where they left off and she graded as they moved forward with their writings. She also did not give them much wait time. Then by Friday the students were to write an additional paragraph but in a quiz manner and then she had another student read the essay out loud checking for the proper content from what they had just studied.</P> | * | * | * 11.
