Portfolio Project 1 Kareema Jones Bryant & Stratton College Due date: 5/31/2012 COMM 150: Section Ed Zacholl THESIS IDEA: COMPETENCIES, SKILLS, AND HABITS OF MIND ARE NEEDED TO BE SUCCESSFUL Competencies, skills, and habits of mind are needed to be successful because they are used when marketing yourself in your career. A competency is the ability to do something well, these are usually natural abilities. Skills are things that can be learned, things that are needed to complete a task. Habits of mind are internal characteristics that will help you with a task. A habit of mind is also the knowledge stored in your brain.
In particular how they keep the classroom under control but also make it a fun place to learn. I will also look closely at the learner, this being the child. They need to be mentally stimulated, otherwise concentration is lost. I want to look closely at how this level of concentration can be obtained and at what levels and at what time span does their mind begin to wander. I will also look at behavioural patterns within classrooms, from this I will see how behaviour can be kept under control to make the classroom effective.
It is objective scoring. The more it is taken the more understanding there is as to how and what students are learning. [ (Betebenner, 2009) ] | Measures a skill that is taught in class and if the student understands the skill. Allows teacher to
On-campus classes make it easier to communicate one-on-one with your teacher. If you need any help or just have a question, you can speak to your teacher during class and/or speak to a student in your class. Any assignments that you get can be completed in class, on-campus, or at home, then turned in to the teacher. The books needed for your classes are owned by you, so you can make notes and highlight the text in the book if you need. It is harder to procrastinate while taking classes on-campus because you begin the homework in class (most times) and have the teacher to notice if you did or did not submit your assignments.
Plan For Unit. This workbook will give you an outline of the content to be covered and the related text pages. It is not intended to be used alone but in conjunction with your text and teacher. It is expected that you will follow the workbook and read the related text, experiments and investigations before the lesson. It will be assumed that you have read the text and have some introductory knowledge of the work to be covered each lesson; failure to do so may affect your progress in class.
A college education will greatly improve my career options and financial wellbeing. It will give me the knowledge and skills to be successful in my chosen career field. Even though I have continued to learn throughout my life experiences, a formal education will equip me with the ability to form better opinions and expand points of view in everyday life. Furthermore, education will help me to build on my work ethic and values to develop a more mature stable future. College education will provide a clear direction that will help motivate me to make better decisions in all aspects of my life.
Older students bring motivation and maturity to the classroom. They understand how to combine classes and work. They’re more organized, and also have a better point of view. In the Counselor Department we will help you and guide you to overcome difficulties you may face. Returning students should not be discouraged.
College is all about multitasking. Personal planners, whether paper or electronic, can really help students balance homework, due dates and exams. One should try to get homework done early, thus reducing the stress procrastination can bring. The Internet is a tool that can help greatly with this, and users can find a myriad of different types of organizers there to help keep track of assignments and classes. Another important element is for each individual student to find their own best method of studying.
“The choices you make now, the people you surround yourself with, they all have the potential to affect your life, even who you are, forever” (Xplore). A best effort does give people the knowledge and experience to have more success. These are some key points on how opportunity is achieved. Secondly, when you become successful in school and step out in the real world, academic performance will help you get a job that you deserve. Academic performance is the best indicator of potential for success in life, because people who are educated and have a degree are the most likely to obtain employment.
Try to read the lesson carefully and highlight the important information that the teacher will explain. Collect the questions that you need to ask, so you can ask the teacher during the class. Also, take good notes during the class or lectures you may need to take detailed notes and review them briefly before the next class. In conclusion, paying attention in class is very important to be successful on a test in class. The second step is to take courses in order to be successful at standardized tests and to be prepared for them.
