6th grade is a hard year. You’re the leader of the school. Theres many things I want to accomplish before middle school. One of the things i want to accomplish is to be really good at math and do good on all the tests.

I am currently teaching 7th grade Literature, Language Arts, Social Studies and a few Extended Learning time activities such as CSI and World Cultures. My responsibilities include these classes and more. Our grade levels each have a day of the week that we will supervise the hallways, we also have a week every few months that we will supervise outside to make sure our students are getting on their buses and staying out of trouble.

After I completed the IIR, I thought it would be beneficial to review the MCGCP in order to determine what areas are most important. After reviewing the MCGCP, it appears as though the top priorities at the middle school level include system support and guidance curriculum. These two areas are where middle school counselors should spend the most time on and allocate the most resources for. My site scored fairly decently in these areas, earning scores of 86% and 87% respectively. I took a closer look at each of these sections and paid close attention to the elements that received a score of three or less, meaning that these elements are not being fully implemented into the counseling program. I highlighted these items and added them to

The time is 12:30. The middle schoolers and high schoolers are watching the elementary students in envy on the playground, wishing they could have recess. They have had no chance to talk with friends, be creative, or just have fun outside. Every student needs a chance to do these things, not just elementary students. Middle and high school students should have recess despite all evidence to the contrary.

The significance that this mother did not receive prenatal care is that the risks for having a premature delivery could have been reduced or eliminated completely. The mother could have been put on medications to stop early labor like Magnesium sulfate to relax the smooth muscle of the uterus and stop contractions, progesterone to prevent early labor, and monitoring fetal heart rate patterns in order to report any complications to the attending provider caring for the patient. Progesterone reduces the risk of delivering a baby early, before 37 weeks gestation, in mothers who are pregnant with just a single fetus or a mother who previously had a premature birth of a fetus (Progesterone Treatment, 2014, para. 4). In

The article that I choose to complete my article summary on was called “The Relevance of the Alliance for CME Competencies for Planning, Organizing, and Sustaining an Interorganizational Educational Collaborative.” This article described “how the Alliance Competencies were exemplified in the activities of the partners, leading to educational activities that contributed to improvements in clinician performance and patient outcomes. There are 8 areas of alliance competencies supported in this article. The areas consist of Adult Organizational, Educational Interventions, Performance Measurement, Systems Thinking, Leadership, Administration/Management, and Self-Assessment and Lifelong Learning. Since there are predictions that the expectations of health professions change, so does educational performance expectations. The 8 areas described in the article provided support for planning and evaluating the expectations. Three main points addressed in the article are Educational

Jones is a well-behaved adolescent. He is able to present himself as well groomed, polite, and cooperative. He was able to build a quick rapport with the examiner and stay calm and patient while testing, in which expresses to us that he has improved social skills. He has a good balance of independence during testing and the dependency on his mother during the interview. Mr. Jones is able to concentrate and perform when told with good confidence. He did have mild lingering articulation difficulties but that did not impede his ability to communicate. Overall, he seems to present himself as a collected teen but is interdependent for his

First step in intervention is to identify meaningful situations or contexts to promote communication and social interaction with Aiden. Situations that are motivating for Aiden, provide chance for communication and that are appropriate for his development. Aiden is most likely to talk, interact, and learn if he is doing something he enjoys. Aiden will benefit most if the settings selected are a good fit for his interests, needs, and skills. As he becomes comfortable with this approach: Gradually we’ll add more and more contexts as opportunities for communication. Aiden will have many more opportunities with communication when he is older. At his early stages of development, it is easy to adapt activities so that they are age appropriate as well as developmentally appropriate. To ensure that Aiden has an effective means to communicate and participate in social interactions.

For my evidence based intervention I understand the importance of scientific research to inform my practice, however, I believe that the consideration of individual characteristics is just as important. I must consider the issues of lack of confidence, purpose and effort for each of my students and use research to develop strategies that may work for my students. I have developed a range of data on the students’ academic results, attitudes in classes, students learning style, teachers’ comments on these students in a range of classes, students’ self-belief as well as their belief about education and where their goals for education and where they see themselves going after school. Evidence based intervention allows for a targeted group of students

The average development of kindergarten aged children, according to John W. Santrock (2015), occurs in every area; the physical level is characterized, biologically and physically by the growth and expansion of the brain. The brain of five years-old children is three quarters of its adult size; the gray matter increases, as well as the front lobe areas giving the child ability to better plan and organize new ideas and actions. A great growth in dendrites connections with each other and "myelination" takes place, which means thousands of cells in the brain of a child are able to efficiently respond to stimuli in a matter of seconds. Likewise, the typical weight of a child between 3 and 6 years of age increases approximately 5-7 pounds, and grows 2-3 inches per year. Other manifestations of physical growth: he now has all 20 primary teeth after three years, has 20/20 vision, and eye-hand coordination at age four; and has a night sleep of 11-13 hours, usually without a nap during the day.

During tutoring, Carter’s growth really showed through the formative assessments that we did throughout the 20 hours. The first assessment was given to Carter on September 27, 2015. Carter was given a graded word list, which he got three incorrect in the P category, which would put him at the kindergarten level. He was also given a two graded reading passages, which he scored 30% accurate on the P,

64oz.AJ’s most regrettable moment was when he drank a 64oz cup of Coke in one sitting. AJ was with his family at the L.V. Coca Cola factory and one of the many products the held was 64 oz of pure unhealthiness. He reached for it and started drinking. He didn’t feel anything at first. But then he heard his stomach grumble. He was feeling so queasy and so sick that if there was one thing he could change in his past, it would be this.

Guidance programs are an important part of today’s schools. They have many different jobs to do in regard to the wellbeing of each student with in the school. I believe the most important job of the guidance programs are for the counselors to focus on the special needs of the students in the middle school. There are so many aspects of a middle schooler’s life that can affect them negatively it is important advisors understand what issues are impacting particular students and act appropriately. We know that middle school students face physical, psychosocial, and cognitive developmental issues but they also have problems related to peerpressure, health, substance abuse, violence, at risk situations, and etc. If counselors are in tuned to the
