Anderson jumped on board and expanded her curriculum to include studying pieces by local artist Jake Early and resources from TCA The students completed research and assignments about the ecosystems in Arizona.

I immediately began to volunteer throughout the museum. While I loved every aspect of the museum, there was something extra special about the aquarium: dim lights, exotic creatures, the sounds of splashing water, the faint smell of ocean salt. I spoke to Rebecca, the Aquarium Curator, who was able to see just how passionate I was and invited me to spend more time in the aquarium. She first assigned me basic duties like cleaning fingerprints off the glass and filling up buckets of water. But before long, I was offered the opportunity to return to where it all started – the touch

The Fisheries and Wildlife Ecology program at Northland surpasses all my expectations. This program gives me the opportunity to
I was deepening my knowledge of human anatomy and how diseases are spread to allow us to succeed at state. I also helped kids on the middle school team. I led experiments for them and helped them study so that they too could have a deeper understanding and broaden their knowledge. This focus will only grow stronger while attending Oklahoma Baptist University. I have applied to the Honors Program; the course work and topics in this program will strengthen my desire to learn.
The issue below was recently brought to my discovery by several high-school paraprofessionals. I was told that we should submit a pay/coverage sheet every time we cover a classroom. If what you are saying is true, there are a lot of elementary paraprofessionals level that are owed back pay; including myself. Were paraprofessionals to be paid for I.E.P. coverage, no subs, and faculty departing campus early; if we covered for 1/2 hour, hour coverage etc.? I 've been employed for thirty years, we 've only received paid for two hours or more at the elementary level.
I was also lucky enough to be part of the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program. This opportunity allowed both myself and my other colleagues to participate in the graduate experience at the undergraduate level.
The overall semester definitely had its up’s and downs . As a Peer Mentor I have learned to appreciate my hardwork much more and also learned that speaking up a lot is key to key action to many things. One of my goals for the semester as a Peer Mentor was to get to know my peer mentees on a friendship level or maybe as acquaintances. That goal actually came true in a way because I only made three acquaintances only. Another goal I had throughout the semester was to go outside of my comfort zone a little, I really didn 't like to talk in front of the class.
One of the unique aspects of the Department of Child Development and Family Relations is that many of the department’s large core courses offer teaching assistant opportunities to undergraduate students. Teaching assistant opportunities are valuable for undergraduate students to decide whether to apply as a graduate teaching position, great addition to a resume, and for a letter of recommendation. From my teaching assistant experience, I was able to fully grasp the concepts of middle childhood development, form a new appreciation for professors and teaching assistants, and reflect on myself as a student. In addition, I had the opportunity to strengthen several essential skills such as organizational skills, leadership skills, and communication
Taking this class has had a profound impact on me. I have learned how to properly study for a college class. Also, I learned how to effectively communicate and reach out to my professor. This was my first college course which gave me a learning experience about psychology and myself as a student. I have learned how to manage my time, study in ways that are better for me, focus on the task in front of me, and reaching out and taking opportunities.
Evolution from Novice to a Beginning Professional Nurse Looking back when I started my nursing school, I can proudly say that I have evolved both physically and psychologically. I was not sure if nursing was the right choice for me at first because I had difficulties interacting with people outside my family circle. The first semester was challenging for me because I did not know how to interact with my class mates and felt isolated each time there is a class activity. I joined a study group later that semester and it has been an excitement ever since.
I learned classroom procedures, routines, and. R. Dickson rules. I worked in the self-contain classroom. I provided opportunities to work with all students. I peer tutored with students.
Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom. I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
