In order to be successful one needs to have a great motivator. It takes a lot of determination, and patients in order to reach and surpass set goals. For me my motivator is success. I not only want to be successful but I feel the need to be successful in today’s day and age. From my experiences as a student I have come to the realization that education is a very powerful, enriched, and very promising tool to have.
The purpose of higher learning allows growth while broadening my perspective to help educate others. The complete and concise curriculum allows me to prioritize my daily routines to become an enhanced student and educator. My concerns and difficulties were at a low level during this module because of the great support system provided in the GCU program. Organizing and prioritizing were a little difficult because achieving my personal, academic, and career goals are all on equal ground. The final outcome entails personal, academic, and career goals that will be gained during my pursuit of higher
As a member of management it is even more vital that i am aware and up to date with all the legislation and guidelines as part of my role is to guide, support and influence other staff to do well in their own role. My own professional development does not only impact on myself but other staff, the setting and people who use the service. Continuing professional development is a life long process of learning which enables staff to fulfill their present or future roles more effectively as maintaining a high standard of professional competence. Every early childhood professional has a personal responsibility to develop and maintain their knowledge and
Students must be taught within themselves and not by society. Education will always be a part of society and society will always be a part of education which is why Baldwin states the importance of the responsibility for teachers to change society if they consider themselves as an educated person. To me it is very critical for all of the educators, and especially “those who deal with the minds and hearts of young people” (P.123, L.6-7) to take the greatest care in nourishing out minds and our actions based on the global societal truths. In Baldwin’s speech, he also talks about the treatment that he experienced as a boy living in what he described as “life in the ghetto” (P.125, L.7) and the mistreatment received by whites. The whites were blinded by their own
All people have the right to education. Roosevelt, Kaplan, and Obama mentioned the importance and the right of education for society. In Roosevelt’s list of basic needs, he states that “The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living” is one of the basic things expected by people. Scientific progress makes economy, the country, and people’s lives better. It brings money for research, credibility for the country, and medicine improvements.
How do we become knowledge workers within our own organizations? Hammer (2004) suggests that we are entering an age where we will all be knowledge workers. I find some truth in that because we are always learning from our peers, our employees, and our supervisors. But it is necessary for us to know where that newfound knowledge comes from by finding its source. I am the type of person who wants to know everything and be the best at every task I perform, and doing the necessary work to identify the appropriate source of information will make that task just a bit easier.
Their support will encourage me to keep reaching my goals. All in all, education is a major part of our lives and I some-what agree with and also I disagree.
One important tool in communication is assertiveness. I want people to not only like me but also to respect me. I know I have some work to do. This is the first steps toward that goal.
The myth of education pertains to the essential human need for empowerment. We believe that going to school to be educated and getting outstanding grades is the key to success and prosperity in life; that those who excel in the classroom are the ones who gain authority and power. Knowledge is power- we have all heard it at least once before. For this reason, we as people are inclined to believe that formal schooling ultimately leads to power, control, security and respect. However, Malcolm X’s excerpt “Learning to Read” taken from his autobiography, demystifies such a myth.
Education is what allows you to make the correct decisions in life and hence allows you to make a positive contribution to society as Nelson stated. Considering the rate at which our country is developing and has developed, the standard of education in this country is something that can't be taken as a joke and neglected. If America's educational system doesn't stop producing failures and cant motivate students enough to stay in schools to graduate, problems like poverty, high crime rates and
