Teachers need direction in order to meet academic proficiencies and to keep student’s interest (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010). After exploring several learning theories and strategies, my own teaching practices are most often modeled by several strategies and learning theories. The Constructivism Theory resonates in some of the techniques I am using in the classroom. Reflecting on student activities and the design my lessons ; I find students are most often engaged in learning activities that are student driven and lead to students constructing their own conclusions. Student often work at stations and learn through team building and planned movement.
A teaching assistant can contribute to discussions and decision making during team meetings by firstly ensuring they are fully prepared before each meeting. Listing all issues they wish to raise can help and will keep contributions they make clear and relevant. Teaching assistants can help to point out problems and possible solutions that may not be noticed by teachers and other staff. They will sometimes have a different point of view to other staff members and notice issues that a class teacher may not be aware of due to the difference in classroom roles. They must be able to communicate effectively and confidence helps with this.
Unit8: Promote Communication in Health, Social or Children`s and Young People`s Settings 1.1 Identify the different reasons people communicate The different reasons why people communicate in the setting is to *Build Relationships with staff, children and the parents *Express our feelings * Share ideas *Share and gain information *Expand our knowledge It is my role as a member of staff to communicate with staff, parents, and children so that everyone know what is needed and how we can meet theses needs and work together as a team. We may have to share a lot of information which can easily be forgotten so writing important information down in a communication book and or witting it down on the white board is another form of communication this is called non verbal communication. We communicate in our setting to be understood and to understand what is being told to us verbal and non verbal this helps us a staff member to do our job to the best ability that we can and so the running of the nursery runs smoothly on a daily basic. 1.2 Explain how communication affects relationships in the work setting Communication affects relationships in the work setting only if nobody isn’t communicating, in my work setting its very important that we communicate not with each other as staff member but also with the children and parents and with the manager. Good communication skills enable us to have good relationship with everyone we have to work alongside and this enable the children, parents to communicate back with us so that needs are being met.

I always outline the purpose of the session and how it applies to the attendees, but I frequently experience resistance in the form of poor participation. One of the more effective ways I have found to overcome that resistance is to use what Knowles refers to as “role models”. I use the success of other team members as examples to be followed, and ask those individuals to speak whenever possible. This usually prompts lively discussion, and engages the attendees into the training session. In the future, I will also incorporate Knowles’ (1989) strategy of acknowledging that “… I knew some students were there under compulsion and that I wished this weren’t so…” (p.2).
I like to keep myself busy and try new things. What I enjoy doing the most when I am out of school is volunteering. I volunteer in the soup kitchen in East Liberty. We cook and serve food to the homeless. We also deliver food to the senior citizens in their houses.
By networking I would be able to learn more about the needs of my community and be involved in the creation and planning of programs to improve my community.

The Salvation Army uses many different tools to raise funds and promote awareness. These include: • Salvos Stores and Op Shops sell donated goods to raise funds. • Direct mail sent to people's homes.
There is much to consider in Bloom’s Taxonomy that we do every day in our professions without realizing. “In nearly any circumstance in which an instructor wishes to move a group of students through a learning process using an organized framework, Bloom’s Taxonomy has proven to be invaluable” (Bouchard, 2011, p.1). Our most important area in our job is being able to teach our patients. We need to assist our patients to learn how to live a higher quality of life while managing their chronic illness in a more productive manner. References Bloom B. ed.
