I have many resources that are available for my success in graduation, continued education, and my career. The resources that I have available to me are my family, my academic advisor, the alumni network for mentoring, my finance advisor, enrollment counselor, and other classmates. I will use these resources when I seem to feel negative and need a pick me up, have questions about my loans, have questions about my classes, etc. I know that in using these resources it will help me toward my academic goals. How will you stay motivated?
Formative assessment highlights the importance of monitoring student learning by providing ongoing feedback. (Williams, 2008)Teachers and students gain an invaluable insight through formative assessment which improves their teaching and students improve their learning. Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods Biggs Constructive Alignment (1999) focuses on the strict correspondence between learning outcomes, learning activities and assessment methods. It is clearly seen in the short course template that this alignment is adhered to throughout the 6 weeks. The teaching, learning and assessment methods are constructively aligned in order to achieve the learning intentions and thus the learning outcomes over the six-week course.
Through this program, teachers return to their school with more knowledge, determination, and commitment to change their students' lives. Freedom Writers Foundation Website, an article titled “About the Scholarship Program”, noted, “The Freedom Writers Foundation awards scholarships each year to first-generation high school seniors and college students who have demonstrated remarkable academic promise despite considerable odds.” This program supports students in many ways. By providing the students a scholarship, they continue to learn and they have a shot at becoming what they want. Students through this program also receive support to earn a degree from college. Erin has inspired many teachers, students, and everyday people through this foundation.
Summary Introduction: The adult learning theory is very important in the college environment today, with many adults returning to college for various reasons. It is a benefit for both instructors and adult learners to understand the adult learning theories in order to make the adult education experience more successful. Summary of Article 1: Article 1 “Revisiting adult learning theory through the lens of an adult learner,” discusses five different traditional learning theories, "orientations," to learning: behaviorist, humanist, cognitive, social cognitive, and constructivist (Jackson &, 2009). It discusses the meaning of each and gives thorough examples of what each style of learning is (Jackson &, 2009). It also discussed the teacher’s role in adult learning and how important it can be to the learners (Jackson &, 2009).
As of today, most states, (forty-three states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity), have voluntarily adopted these standards. The new standards also provide a way for teachers to measure student progress throughout the school year and ensure that students are on the pathway to success in their academic careers. Educational standards are the learning goals for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Educational standards help teachers ensure their students have the skills and
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
ACADEMIC WRITING: REPORT 4.1 Overview 4.2 Reactions 4.3 Transferring 5. CONCLUSION REFERENCE LIST APPENDICES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is a self- reflection about the Continuing Development Studies module. It aims to demonstrate the student’s understanding of the conventions of a “classical” report writing and provide an opportunity to reflect on the extent to which this process developed the student’s readiness to undertake. The findings reveal that, through this module, students are able to be aware of the transferability of select aspects of “Good Scholarship” beyond the academic world, increase their techniques, and improve their techniques associated to a scholarly study. 1.
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
2200 words This assignment will begin with a brief understanding of how reflective practice can be used to benefit teaching and learning, if indeed it does at all. It will then progress through reflections on both personal and professional growth, recounting my learning journey by reference to my placement in a Teach First school. My reflections will focus on proactive measures to classroom behaviour in order to improve my classroom management. The introduction of the concept of 'reflective practice' by Donald Schon (1987), was based on the assumption that acquiring skills associated with reflective practice should lead student teachers toward becoming more effective practitioners (Burn et al, 2003). Many authors (Kolb, 1984; Evans, 1991; Ferraro, 2000) have provided their varying opinions about the meaning of the term.
