Learning Style Inventory

Teachers that are willing to adapt to the student learning skills will be more successful at teaching their kids. In the short story “ The Metaphor “ Miss Hancock did not develop this skill when she became grade 10 teacher. She was very successful teaching grade 7’s but not as much for grade 10. She used the same techniques from grade 7 to teach grade 10’s so they did not work as well. An example of this was when she read the story ‘Ulysses’. After reading it Charlotte mentioned “ after that, it was difficult to hear her. Guffaws sprung up here and there throughout the room” (Wilson 229). This showed that the kids did not really care

Lisa Blumberg defines ballpark normalcy as “ life that is not quite normal-but is ‘in the ballpark.” My question is what is normal? Every person young or old has strengths and weaknesses; this is true to anyone, whether they have a disability or not. The word ballpark in this context refers to a range. Don’t everyone have different abilities and levels of proficiency? I would argue that everyone that has a disability or not has a ballpark normalcy.

My journey began when The Deron School hired me as a paraprofessional. I learned so much about myself in a classroom setting of diverse learners. First, my strong qualities, such as patience, flexibility to change, and positivity, were simply demonstrated for this position. I have witnessed staff members resign due to stress from unpredictable circumstances. However, I can simply understand the rough days which strengthens my performance to find a solution. Since the students are learning at different levels, I work with each one to achieve academic skills; in addition to recognizing issues, encouraging socialization and independence. Also, I have earned the title as a Registered Behavioral Technician through training, exams, and BCBA observations. Applied Behavior Analysis is very useful while managing behaviors that interfere with learning. I am invested in knowing the needs, weaknesses, strengths, and fears of all the students. A trustful bond will lead students to feel valued in their abilities. As a paraprofessional, my goal is to

My community placement is at Brampton Caledon Community Living. The community is mostly for adults and people with intellectual and physical disabilities. It works to support and empower all people in the area and it works alongside the community and families in the community. Most of the people that attend the program are adults that live with either their parent(s) or a family member (low income) in Bolton. To help reach out to and accommodate to families with lower income, the center charges a small fee for the adult to attend. In that time that the adult attends the program, they can experience activities inside/outside of the center (cooking, working, trips, apple picking, knitting, etc.), as well as attend academic classes to help develop

For weeks four and five we read Dirsken, chapters two and four. There were several key points throughout these two chapters, but three stood out to me the most.

Research on the Hispanic culture consists of an expanding body of affirmation that teaching and counseling students with interventions are congruent with the students' learning-style preferences result in their increased academic achievement and more positive attitudes toward learning. Research done on the learning styles of Hispanic-Americans have compared various ethnic groups of students in elementary school through college levels using a measure that identifies different elements of learning style grouped into subjective categories. These categories consist of environmental learning style, emotional learning style, psychological learning style, physiological learning style, and the sociological

Since I was a young child, I have always had a strong passion for learning. I’ve always been eager to attend school each day and see what new knowledge I can gain. For me, learning comes fairly easy. I usually don’t have to put much effort into learning new material or being able to pass a class; however, I do push myself to be the best student I can possibly be. Being a straight A honor student, I have realized that learning is all in the hands of the student. You must be willing to put in the work if you want to receive success in the end. This is what Robert Leamnson is suggesting throughout his essay.

There has been a multitude of famous individuals that have changed the course of human history over the years. With their work being the source of inspiration of many to simply having a likeable, repeatable demeanor, there is no doubt that to be regarded in that special collective of individuals. One of the most famous civil rights leader that advocated for 13 years, Martin Luther King Jr., discertation called, “The Purpose of Education,” that brings awareness to the importance of education and its overall relevance in tepid year of 1947. Dr. King brings clarity to his opinion in the beginning of his paragraph stating, “It seems to me that education has a two-fold function to perform in the life of man and in society: the one is utility and

1. Describe the skills or attributes you believe are necessary to be an outstanding teacher.

Children of poverty are faced with many challenges in life. Educationally these challenges at times are amplified due to the environment, resources, and conditions the children encounter. Do students who come from impoverished backgrounds need to be taught differently in order to be successful learners? If we look at the Constructivism Theory, one would think so. This theory’s main concept is “that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. When we encounter something new, we have to reconcile it with our previous ideas and experience, maybe changing what we believe, or maybe discarding the new information as irrelevant (www.learning-theories.com/constructivism).”

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.

A mentor in nursing is defined as someone who can facilitate learning, supervise and asses nursing students in a practice setting. This in turn produces efficient and effective students who become competent and will have mastered the craft and art of caring. Mentorship is significant to students as it helps students develop their professional identities, attributes and competence and also enables students to learn through the creation of the supportive working and learning environment as an individual (Clutterbuck 2004). Decisions taken by mentors in assessing students have significant impacts on securing the nursing workforce in the future. This is because they help safeguard the ongoing excellence in the delivery of personalized patient care while making a major contribution to the development of the nursing profession. This essay explains how to develop learning, teaching and assessment strategies to support the student to achieve a successful outcome.

Greetings my journal, we are in week six of classes. Wow, I have survived. My overview for the week. I get to make a flow chart for a calculator and then write the program to execute it. Oh, what a challenge but, yet a delightful, fun assignment, at the same time. I have to think like the computer, so I can write the functions with parameter and return value. In the process, I got a better understanding of these pieces of code and I learned to respect them more and more.

Given the large diversity of students in classrooms today; it is imperative that teachers learn how to become diverse educators through the techniques and implications they use in their practices. "Diverse responsive teaching (DRT) has emerged as an important approach to the challenges of classroom diversity…DRT also promotes mutual respect among class members and provides valuable lessons for life by empowering students with accurate information about diversity" (Price, 2019, pgs. xv-xvi). To become an effective teacher, a person must possess numerous qualities: creating an environment for learning, helping students develop understanding, extending and applying knowledge, and diverse responsive teaching; to name a few (Nine Strategies for

There is this famous saying, ''Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow". I could not agree more. Growing up as a kid, I vividly recall myself always being enthusiastic to learn and explore. Now I stand on the state where I can proudly say that this passion has driven my growth, motivated me to grow even further and augmented my hunger for quality education. Recalling my childhood, I always used to stay puzzled whenever somebody asked what I wanted to be in the future. Maybe because unlike other kids, I could not quite say that I would want to be a Doctor or Pilot, because my heart did not say that. Gradually while growing up, I was very much interested in science, mathematics and other science programs and I always wanted to participate. I even got prize for presenting the best science experiment at class 9. I did well in my academics and I completed my school education with 89% for which I got Gold Medal as well. After my schooling, I had determined that I will study science and accordingly I chose Science Programs in my High School. During high
