At the start of the semester I struggle using the APA format and it showed in my essays.

As part of my Business Innovation Development Project Unit, I had the opportunity to put myself into group with my friends or people I believed I could work well with. In the first stages of our group we all tried to get to know each other more through analysing personality and learning types’ test that we previously undertook. I realise we were going through the normal stages of the team formation in particular forming and norming (Tuckman, 1965). In my assignment group we had all Belbin team roles which helped us perform well throughout our project and also helped us to identify other team members’ behavioural strengths and weaknesses. During the initial stages of the group getting together I believed it was

Reading week provided me an abundant amount of time to catch up on my courses (literally just economics) and work on my MSDA. The night before, I decided I did not really have to prepare anything for my MSDA pitch, it’d be a good representation of my creative abilities and see what I could come up with on the spot.

It allowed for movement and the students were able to refocus. Students would get up and get a white board and then go to the other rug and start writing their sight words. If the teacher only had one meeting area it would have been too much time on the floor and the students wouldn’t have focused on the activity. From the second round of practicum I will be able to bring how the teacher taught to her students. She talked to all of her students with a lot of enthusiasm and treated them equally while still knowing what they needed to work on. The teacher would expect the student to understand the concepts and would continually practice with them until they understood, “That is, students tend to give to teachers as must or as little as teachers expect of them.” (Spradlin, 2011, p. 63). She would spend one-on-one with one student each day and that was something that I found very important for each student, it allowed for them to know what was expected of them and ways to get to where they wanted to

She enjoys participating in class discussions and will occasionally ask questions that elicit further information. Brielle delivered a very short speech to the class about national parks.

For example, my struggling students and IEP students sometimes tend to get lost during instruction, so let’s saywe are solving a long division problem and I asked the class what is my next step after dividing, I will point to the second step in our mnemonic we have been using. The when students name the two numbers we multiply, I will point to those two numbers as I tell the class correct we multiply these two numbers and place our answer above in the quotient as I point where I am placing the answer.
