Strengths Quest Reflection Paper Strengths Finder Themes Portia Tinsley Concordia University Chicago Abstract This paper is a reflection of my Strengths Quest, Strengths Finder Insight Review. The Strengths Quest is a test that helps students, staff, and faculty achieve academic, career, and personal success (Strengths Quest). The test took about forty minutes and was about 120 questions about which way we would lean towards in a certain situation, it helps us to better understand our personality. Each question gave us twenty seconds to answer it going either way with strongly agreed, partly agree or neutral which was in the middle. This paper is going to be about my top five themes that I got from taking the test.
As well did I when I first read Gatto's piece against school. But after reanalyzing this article I was able to pick it apart. By going to school you are able to learn and improve the skills you need for future commissions. But Gatto refuses to believe in the public school educational system. Gatto says that school diminishes creativity; if anything kids discover their hidden creativeness in class while at school.
Also, that high school reading lists are developed by adults who had to suffer through the same system as the kids before them, thus developing their literary taste in high school and recycling the same books generation after generation. It also assumes that all high school teachers only teach meaning, and not writing styles and such. 4. What appeals does she make to logos? She refers to her “research” of high school reading lists, teaching plans, and teaching guides, as well as statistics and “top 100” lists.
The population of the city is around 3,000, and FHS services about 360 students from grades ninth thru twelfth. The community is very small and close knit, and the high school plays a major role in preparing students for the real word, because most of the students do not attend college after graduation. Objective of the Document The objective of this analysis is to identify ways to integrate technology at the ninth grade level in English and math classes to help strengthen the students’ skills in those areas. The integration of technology in the core areas will also provide additional skill building activities for students so that they will be prepared for the mandatory state test required for graduation. Background Observation of the existing technology made over the last five years.
During those six weeks I worked on material that helped me get ready for the next grade. For example last summer I took am math class called “Algebra 2, which happens to be a class I knew I would struggle with since math isn’t a subject I’m good at, with the help from the ConnCAP staff they helped me better understand what I was learning by offering me extra help after class and worked with me one on one”. So when school started in the fall I was always ahead of my classmates. I did multiple power points and projects, I learned how to speak in front large crowds professionally and know what to do and what not to do, which would help me in college and in my career. At the end of the six weeks I was required to participate and complete an “End of the program
The cost of a projector and a desktop computer is estimated to be around $500.00; maybe less if you buy in bulk. This will not affect the finances of most colleges because colleges charge every student a fee for computer use every semester at Delgado its $60.00 and several classes already have these items in the class. Many teachers use their notes through applications like power point and Microsoft Word to teach their students as they lecture. Professors could use the electronic book in class; moreover, showing the pictures and information the students need through the projector. This allows students to have the option of bringing paperback books to school each day.
Multiple people who have already graduated with their MSN or DNP have mentioned that buying a prep book for your licensure exam and reviewing questions r/t whatever topic you’re studying in class can help you retain the info better. Basically, the more different formats you use when studying (online quizzes, reading, taking notes, powerpoints, etc. ), the more you’ll retain. 8. Grad school papers are scary.
This is the kind of mathematics that most parents and government officials recognize as the curricula that they attempted to learn when they were in school. It consists primarily of arithmetic or computation and it is about finding answers to questions such as “17 is what percent of 9,and so that it is all about “solving for x” and memorizing formulas. The question is what is constructivism and does it effect student in math courses? Constructivism inn math terms is intuition into the theory that mathematical entities do not exist independently of our construction of them . Basically its saying that math is expressed in a different way to children than how adults intake math information.
There isn’t a viable reason not to implement it, and the few cons are outweighed by the pros. By using year-round school, both students and teachers would have access to school that is both rewarding and relaxing. A recent study compared sixty-four school variables, such as attendance, grades, discipline, and test scores, among year-round schools and traditional schools. The results showed that fifty-four of the sixty-four tested variables were more prominent in year-round schools (Chaika). If schools just gave the year-round calendar a chance, they are almost guaranteed to love it.
R. Brian Rivas Canisius High School, Junior November 6, 2010 Dear Ms. Austin-Seymore My name is R. Brian Rivas and I want the chance to work at Buffalo Prep in the High School Prep program for eighth graders to help Dr. Acker in the Saturday math classes. I would like to work at prep because I think I am capable of helping the children understanding further the information from a kids stand point from. I want to work here because I know that if I had help from kids that were older then I was and with more experience then I would be an even better student then I am now. I never took any Buffalo Prep classes and I joined this program as of November of 2009 for tutorials. However, I have a lot of experience in math classes.
