Participation in the Seminar is a very important part of this course. It is the one chance that you have each week to interact with your classmates and your instructor real-time. Seminar is a great opportunity to cover course material in a fun and dynamic forum where you can discuss what you’ve learned in each unit and ask questions about topics that you don’t yet understand. Students should actively participate in each seminar. During each seminar, the instructor will be asking students lots of questions from the reading assignments, so there will be many opportunities to answer and to make additional comments or ask questions of your own.
Also, I am someone who is involved in education and research and I think that it is amazing how learning to read is said to be a talent that it potentially impossible. Furthermore, it is very fascinating that the process of reading is actually a result of a tug-of-war between the material being read and the student, and hopefully there will be comprehension in the results from the material that is read. Additionally, the text maybe made up of phrases and characters in which will have a certain meaning. I have enjoyed this wonderful experience that I encountered while being in the classroom with wonderful students. I can honestly say that the teacher in the classroom did a great job with her students and I will be walking away with a bunch of awesome strategies and resources to take back to my own classroom to help with teaching reading and language arts.
She uses the constructivist approach to learning by using prior knowledge to enhance learning and scaffolding techniques. Mrs. Mills builds self-esteem and self-concept in her students by helping them gain confidence. She is never down grading, and when she has to get on to a student she makes sure to go back and say, “Now that is what I was looking for.” Every time Mrs. Mills demonstrated a concept for her students she used modeling. Teacher modeling is especially effective with these

Interview and Standards Investigation Interview This essay consists of an interview with Mrs. Hancock, a fifth grade teacher that answered eight questions regarding social studies instruction during a one on one interview. The second part of the essay will provide an evaluation of the Arizona’s social studies standards for fifth grade. One of the first questions that was emphasized, was the student’s overall reactions to social studies, and how much time is engaged in the subject.

It was much easier to understand than the previous weeks. La Quandria would like to review Week three assignments, she feels a little better about graphing.

I had heard about some ‘distance learning’ courses that a few of my colleagues had completed in the past, and enquired to my manager about any available. She informed me that there was an upcoming ‘infection control’ distance learning course, which would gain me an NCFE certificate. I requested to be signed up for this course, as I felt I wanted to learn more about a subject that is very important in my role. It was my job to ensure I phoned Stratford College to arrange my sign up, and take down any notes that were necessary. I used time management to ensure that I met each of my four week deadlines, having done the work to the standard required.
The hospital had a hard time retaining employees and one motive for the class was helping new nurses feel more comfortable and helping us have meaningful, fulfilling employment. In this class we learned about a lot of things but we learned about Julia Brenner’s theory and it has always since stayed with me. I now work in the recovery area of a much larger hospital and have worked in several departments. I have gained a lot of great experience and I have seen my growth described by Brenner’s model. Most importantly though, is probably the fact that I borrowed ideas from that class and from Brenner’s model and have instituted parts into the orientation of new staff-members within my current department.
Initially, as a class, we took the necessary time to familiarize ourselves with one another. This brought to light everyone’s previous and recent experience with information systems. Teams were chosen and took a few moments to ensure all members were aware of their roles in each week’s assignment. We then began discussing terminology associated with business systems and brought clarity to the differences between the concepts. Many examples were used to articulate the discussed systems.
It is not easy for her because just like her, the students in her class all have their own life experiences and situations that they have had to overcome and still they are sitting in class trying to move on. She makes it her mission to help them and maybe help them finds way to overcome the scars that they have. Castellanos explains, “ I teach in a totally non-traditional way. I use every trick in the books: lots of positive reinforcement, both oral and written; lots of one-on-one conferences. I network women with each other, refer them to professor friends who can help them; connect them to graduate students and/or former students who are already pursuing careers” (pg 348).
