(10 points) Summary Reflection: Putting all your results and findings together, write a detailed paragraph about what all of this means about you. Include thoughts on how your learning style, your personality, your study habits, and your communication skills relate to achieving your personal, academic, and career goals.

4. What did you learn about yourself from the Assessment? (What were your major strengths and weaknesses? How do you react to these results? How can you build on strengths and minimize or eliminate weaknesses?)

My first observation was a 5th grade general education class consisting of 25 students. I spent more time with the 5th grade class since the middle school student’s move from class to class. My second observation at Ps 181 was in the middle school 6th grade general-ed with inclusion. Both classrooms were filled with themes, books in accordance to

Leaders who are well versed in the foregoing leader-follower communication concepts will also be successful in global and in cross-cultural environments (Rentfrow, 2007). For example, when leaders: (1) model willingness to engage others; (2) are sensitive to differences/diversity; (3) promote the establishment relationships beyond their immediate environment; and (4) eliminate organizational barriers, these principles are universal and

2. What are the traits of an effective leader? How can these traits be developed?

Hofstede’s five dimensions of culture are power distance, individualism v collectivism, masculinity v femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term v short-term time orientation. In the film the five dimensions are present, in the dimension of power distance it clear with the powerful positions that all the characters have within their professional lives. The way they live and own lavish houses leads to believe that they don’t believe they are equals to everyone else because of their status. Most of the couples demand respect and expect not to be question in their motives, which is a higher power context. Next is individualism versus collectivism, in

If you took two different students that had the same grade from two different classrooms/teachers that were the exact same subject, would you say that each student would demonstrate the exact same or a similar level of understanding over the subject?

The grades may be the same for all students, but will the content taught be the

It leads me back to the chapter I just devoured and may soon have to commit to memory. Haskell writes, "all students do well in learning environments well-suited to them and that aptitude in a class is connected to their engagement first, their knowledge second (pg 7)". I did well in my learning environment because I wanted to be in school and I wanted the structure of lecture, textbook, test taking it offered. My friends and siblings were not all of the same mind therefore hindering their learning. Teachers, even the best of them, rarely spent time adapting to each students needs or trying to incorporate different forms of teaching or learning. Am I saying my classmates weren't smart or driven enough to learn? Absolutely not! They had the capacity and the desire, each to their own varying degrees, but there nonetheless and still they fell behind or dropped out altogether. What they needed was adaptability, flexibility, the means to learn on their

3). As a BSW student, this involves clearly and respectfully engaging in discussion with classmates or asking the teaching staff questions. This also involves reflection on areas I could further develop. Such as using feedback from colleagues to develop professionally. Personally, sometimes constructive criticism or feedback can be difficult to take. Specifically, when related to areas which require development. Engaging in this process and accepting that feedback makes me feel vulnerable and often leads to defensive behaviors. By completing the self-assessment, I was able to identify I must further develop within this

The Cartesian diver illustration was created by the top of a pipet that I already owned, a small amount of galvanized steel wire, and a plastic bottle. The Cartesian diver can be used as a representation of many fluid properties including compressibility, pressure transmission, stability, and buoyancy.

There can be several classes that are similar to other classes. For example, English root words may be talked over in a social studies class, or science terms may be used in Algebra. In addition, I do indeed have a few classes that express similar views and concepts as other classes. In my World Geography class, we are

Today, earth is a planet with 7.13 billion people living on it (Wolfram Alpha LLC, 2014). Each person may have a culture and religion that they associate with and rules for that culture or religion that they live by. Because of the many cultures, it can be difficult to know what to say or do when interacting with someone from another culture. Fortunately, Hofstede has compiled data on different cultures by country to help understand the differences (MindTools, Ltd., n.d.c.). Understanding each culture that one interacts with can go a long way in developing a good business relationship (CSU-Global, 2014). This essay will analyze the leadership qualities of China and France based on Hofstede’s

While the similarities between instructor and pupil are expected, there still exist differences in their opinions on politics and
