Work Field Reflection
I knew what this class was about when I entered it. I knew the work I was up against. I knew it was all or nothing. Knowing all of this, I still slacked off and my grade suffered. Of course it’s no one else's fault but mine but I’m stubborn it took a couple of classes for me to finally learn some work field values that I never thought I really lacked until I stopped to think. For one I’m always late and that is not good for entering the work field but the answer wasn’t as simple. It takes 12 days to establish a habit so they said. I never made it a habit to be on time until this class. For all of the assignments it was all or nothing. If a second late that would be a zero. Like I said again i don’t learn from my mistakes that easy I have …show more content…
I have learned a lot by being these kids it's been a rollercoaster ride everyday. The first thing I learned was being adaptable and flexible. When I enter the room, I basically am learning with them I get the information and then I go and help them understand. I also walk around the classroom if they are doing stations and I help them understand. So basically wherever they need me I am there since that's my job. Since I'm with these lower age kids I have learned to hide my frustration and turn it to inspiration. This has helped me so much with these kids because on some day they are just awful, they make your blood boil. When these days occur I breathe in and out thenn think of something to really benfit the situation. Although other people might not think it’s a grreat skill I really like the spotaneity of thinking of ideas to help the class. Another thing I have learned throughout internship is explaining things in multiple ways. Since some my students have learning disabilities and read little English I need to be able to explain things differently so they can understand. I really like that I have obtained this skill because I feel it can prepare for my career in business. Since in business sometimes you need to persuade others and being able to explain ideas, thoroughly and in different ways can work to a great

    You are worried about the grades you have gotten so far. I showed you that you have not been working in the amount of time that you should. I advice you to spend more time working with your tutors. You need to study, read, and prepare assignments at least one hour for every class hour. In other words, as you spend 13 hours a week in-class, you should work at Achieve for at least 13 hours a week. During the first 3 weeks of class, you spent 35 minutes working with your tutors.…

    I had to plan ahead in order to make sure that I accomplish the assignments for this class while still attending the board meetings for the organizations I was a part of. By looking at my Participation paper I was there for a majority of my class days and the only reason I missed class was because of really bad allergies and when I received bronchitis for week and a half. By going to class I was able to get tips on how to make my work better and how to accomplish the tasks given to us better thus making it less stressful for me to finish the project meaning I was more likely to finish the project earlier than the time given to us. When I realized that going to class and doing my work before the due date made me less stressed out I tried my hardest to always finish my work in all my class on time making me have a less stressful week. Another example of my improvement in this area is when we look at my Communication improvement profile paper written in the beginning of the year. I wrote the paper the night before and really didn’t look at the rule brick on how everything needed to be organized. When looking at this paper I followed the rule brick the best I can and wrote this paper before the due date allowing me to continually correct the grammar mistakes I have made and other problems that could have been found in this paper.

    You need time, patience, listening skills and good communicational skills. It is important that you are aware and take into account the individual abilities, personalities and cultural needs of the children as this will vary due to every child being different and having different needs. Children have to be able to feel a level of trust with you and feel safe around you in order to develop a relationship with them, they have to know and be able to feel that they are understood, not only via speech but through behavior and as a person. It is also crucial when maintaining a professional relationship with children that you have that line of friend and teaching assistant. If you try to be their friend your level of authority will be crushed and it will be difficult for you to maintain control of the class as well as the individual children, however this does not mean that you can’t be friendly towards them! But to just ensure that the barriers are not crossed.…

    I primarily gained adaptability and communication skills as I assisted many students from different age groups. My background in communication and adaptability has provided me with a deeper understanding of what students need to succeed and the difficulties students encounter in their daily learning. As a student intern, I also gained lesson planning and time management skills as I assisted the AVID instructors with their lesson plans and…

    When working in junior schools we should listen and talk to them at their own level make eye contact and smile. We mustn't talk over them or be sarcastic and we should be positive about what is being said. We should also encourage them to take pride in their work now that they are getting a bit older.…

    The semester started off the same as most. I go into it telling myself that I will stay caught up this time. I won’t allow myself to do assignments at the last minute. As usual these promises are quickly broken. I work eight to twelve hours a day and six days a week most weeks, so often when I get home, the last thing I want to do is homework. This means putting everything for most of my classes off till Sunday. A habit I have sadly been in for the better part of my time at Gateway.…

    Within school, it is important to be able to build good relationships with the children you work with so that they feel comfortable in your company and feel that they are able to speak with you. The first step to achieving this would be to establish a mutual respect and to have clear rules in place so that the children understand what is expected of them and what they can expect from you. As a member of staff, you need to be able to adapt your own behaviour and communication skills in a manner that is age appropriate. It's important that the children feel secure, valued as an individual and as important as any other person within the school and your manner needs to demonstrate this. This will help you to get to know and understand the characters of each individual child and will help you to spot any problems or difficulties a child may be experiencing…

    Three professional skills you need when working with children are organisation because you need to be able to plan what lesson or activities you are going to do and make sure no one is using the equipment you are going to need, you also need to make sure you plan your time well so that your lesson finish on time and by the end of the day. You need to organise you’re resources so that you know where everything is and it is easy to find so you can get it straight away instead of having to look for it and waste lesson time. You need to be organised so that you can plan what to do for the day for example you have decided to do some painting with the class for the first lesson so before the children come to school get the paint and paper ready so as soon as you have marked the register you can start, a consequence of poor organisation would be that if the teacher didn’t know what they was going to do and then decided to paint they would start late and then the lesson would end latter and if someone wanted the paints after the lesson they would have to start late as well. Teamwork is when a group of people work together in a team to support one another, be patient and listen to everything everyone has to say, make sure everyone says their opinion because there need to be lots of communication. You also need to be honest if you don’t think that something a good idea you should say, try and find out everyone’s strength and area which need to be developed. If you work as a team you know you can ask for help and you haven’t got to do all the work by yourself you can share the responsibilities. If you don’t work in a team, you will find thing harder and you’ll do everything alone. In an early years practitioner the people that make up a team would be the manager, the deputy manager, teachers, teaching assistants and trainees/ students. Behaviour is very important as children role model you if they see you behaviour in a bad way or see you speaking in a bad way and they may…

    When I had first volunteered at a preparatory school as a teacher’s assistant, I was thrilled and excited. I enjoyed working with children and I admit, was slightly disillusioned with expectations that the children would be dutiful and effortless to watch over. Unfortunately, all my prior imaginations crashed the second I entered the classroom. Everywhere I saw, it was pure chaos. I dodged a flying crayon as I saw children running around throwing paper airplanes, balls, while others just stared at their iPads, focused on the latest game. Not a single one of them even listened to me or glanced at me as I tried to yell over the loud chatter.…

    As I read this article, it actually made me laugh because some of the excuses I have used myself. Although it is bad to turn in an assignment late, it is not bad to make an excuse to make up for it. After all, it’s all for our sake. If the instructor let us go with it, then we’re good. But that doesn’t mean we can do it again. In this kind of situations, first is alright, but never expect a second time because any instructors would definitely doubt a second time. This article is an irony because it shows how the excuses made the teachers believe to not believe the students as time…

    In tough times, when I had no idea what to achieve or what was going on, I kept my cool and made sure the kids were having fun in our quest for knowledge. It was a unique adventure for me in that I had little to no experience watching children, nor did it seem conceivable to emerge outside of my shell. Nevertheless, I pushed myself to accomplish it knowing I would come out better, and more mature person, in the end.…

    For the fall of 2016, my fieldwork placement has been at a local group for individuals with Alzheimers and Dementia, as well as their caregivers. At stepping stones, there are roughly 15 participants in the program. Sessions are held once weekly, for 1.5 hours and includes a warm up activity, fine motor activity and gross motor activity. The model that I feel is reflected best from the program is PEOP. The activities are meticulously chosen specifically for the likes, dislikes and most importantly, cognitive and physical functional level of each patient. While this addresses the intrinsic factors, the environment that Stepping Stones is held in promotes the intrinsic factor. The program is held at a local church and the space utilized for…

    For my semester, it has been relatively good. The bad thing was that the class was kind of really early, but other than that, I really got into the habit of waking up early and being productive through the day. Without this early class, I would’ve been waking up late into the day, wasting it. I am currently enrolled in 4 classes: Math, English, Political Science, and Astronomy. I have no idea what I’m doing with the 2 extracurricular classes but I’m having fun learning about new things. I spend about 14 hours a week in all my classes, as for trying to study and working, I am limited on how much I can study because I have 2 jobs which means 7 days a week of work. I spend about 40 hours or more between the two jobs just trying to make some extra money. For your class, I spend about an hour on homework at times trying to figure out the ridiculous questions and how to answer it the right way which sometimes pisses me off (no offense to you, I blame the site). I really do enjoy online homework, makes it easier to remember and to do. I feel like Logs and Ln is my strong suit as I have had a bit of practice before and the hardest for me would’ve been the exponents. As for the midterm, We had a midterm? I didn’t think that starting off in the school year, I would be having two jobs at once as I was trying to just look for one, but the opportunity arise and I just seized it. It has really changed my life as now I have to juggle school with two jobs at once plus putting time to do some personal relaxation. I am trying to get out of my old lazy habits and get into the “always working attitude.” I feel like if I had a test of…
