Field Reflection Paper

On September 6, 2017, I were documented for an incident that involved a University Housing policy violation. I was charged with violating the University Housing Alcohol 1.2 policy. With my violation, came consequences. I met with The Residence Conduct Coordinator to discuss my actions and came to the conclusion that I would have to schedule a meeting with The Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Center (CADEC) and with that, a reflection paper.

The age group are 7 and 8, second grade class. The classroom consists of 7 students with an IEP, with a general education teacher and special education in the classroom.

If I have the opportunity to work for The School District to provide support for the inclusion support to children with disabilities ages 3- 5.I will support to that every classroom where children with disabilities are coming to have a professionals co teaching support, the co teaching will help the head teacher in the classroom, she will provide help and support to child that may be assigned to work with, This inclusion support is fundamental, especial on children who’s need a constant help.

In the interviews the participants shared their point of view and experience as an educator or parent. The educators have experienced an increase in children with disabilities. They have had to get trainings to support children with disabilities in their classroom. The have also, noticed children with the same disability may not need the same type of support it depends on the severity of the disability. Another thing the educators had in common is they all get training and workshops at least once a month some get more; it depends on the district. Parents state they are content with the services their children are receiving. Through the experience of having their children in inclusion they see their child’s progress. Parents also.

I think inclusion would really help the ELL’s and other students that are getting misdiagnosed as needing special education services because the student will be able to receive extra help without being labeled. I think service delivery systems can be a great tool for children with disabilities to use because it helps them to receive the best education possible. The service delivery systems even can help children through the Summer, and I like how the service delivery plan is flexible to meet every child’s

Considering all of my lessons this semester, my main strength would be modeling the lesson for the students and praising the students with positive reinforcement. I feel as the students remained engaged and they were always willing to participate, which allowed them to meet all of the objectives in my lesson. I was impressed with how well much the students remembered and understood from my lessons. I presented the instruction and goals for the lesson prior to beginning the activity. During the lesson, I frequently asked the students questions in order for the students to remain thinking as well as focused.

Waiting to find out my internship placement, interviewing with my placement, and starting work has been the most exciting part of my graduate education to date. I was placed with Walton County Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) and started working with them in the last week of September. The transition from the classroom to the field has been smooth with my classes having equipped me for the field work I have already done and hopefully for the field work to come.

Courage is not always about who's got the guts to do something risky, but about overcoming obstacles that are difficult for you. Unfortunately his obstacle in my way was; public speaking. I was a quarter into the sixth grade with no experience in that practice. Little did i know i would soon.

For the majority of my life, I have lived with just my mom and younger brother. Up until 2012, we gained an addition to our small family which was my great-grandpa and ever since then I have been taking care of my brother and great-grandpa almost every day while my mom goes to work. My mom depends on me to hold down the fort which consists of coming home after school, preparing dinner, and cleaning up the house. I also have to pick my brother up from school and on the weekends, take him to and from his bible class.

When taking this course at first I was very hesitant on continuing with it because it went against everything I knew growing up in my home. I’m very glad I continued the course because it has offered me so much in opening my eyes on how life is for people who are women, different race, their sexual orientation, gender, and disabled. I never really realized how much I was limited too growing up as a girl, I was expected to be dolce, pretty and quiet. While boys were expected to do about whatever they wanted, they could get dirty, be loud, and cause a ruckus. I experienced this as a kid; my brother wouldn’t get in trouble for doing certain things. If I tried to do what my brother did, I would get in trouble and be told, “A young lady shouldn’t be doing that”. It irritated me so much because I didn’t know why my brother could get away with certain actions and I wasn’t.

The first aspect I have learned from creating this lesson is that as a teacher when making up lesson plans; we need to consider how this will help our students to expand their knowledge. Lessons need to be centered around engaging students to enjoy a particular topic that will help generate ideas and support interaction for a class discussion. According to the article The Sixth Pillar Reading Instruction, there are six pillars of reading instruction. Before this article, only five pillars were discussed but soon teachers were starting to realize they lacked another important aspect. This includes phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and the new aspect knowledge development (Cervetti, G. N., & Hiebert, E. H. (2015). When we think about literacy, besides the five main bases we also need to consider that students' knowledge is a significant factor. Knowledge is key when it comes to learning. Knowledge supports every aspect of reading, from reading accuracy and fluency to literal and inferential comprehension (Cervetti, G. N., & Hiebert, E. H. (2015). This means that background knowledge of a text helps a student understand more of the topic. For example, if a teacher reads to her class about Thanksgiving, many of the students know what this holiday is about, and this gets them more involved since they are reading a book that they can relate too. A big part of reading is making a connection to the text. As teachers pick topics, they should look at

As an individual, I am always seeking the truth, because one cannot form an opinion without accurate facts. In addition, I believe that our society is lacking the values of compassion and empathy, so I try to practice the Golden Rule as often as possible. Being raised as an active Christian within the United Methodist Church, I believe that my most significant values stem from Sunday school lessons and mission trips. Of course, my parents are at the core of such an upbringing, so their influence cannot be excluded. During Sunday school and youth group lessons, I learned the importance of spreading God’s love onto others through acts of honesty and kindness. If I don’t like a person, I am still expected to treat that person with the humility and respect that God would. As a result, the issue of civility becomes paramount to my interactions with classmates and co-workers.

In the summer of 2016 I left on a rare affair to burn through three weeks in India teaching English at a local primary school in a little village. Much to my dismay that the effect it would have on me in my English class in my senior year of high school. Before my journey began my parents revealed to me that this experience would change my view on a considerable measure of things back home and make me more appreciative of all the opportunities I have in the United States. If were not for this extraordinary experience my literacy practices would have been entirely different my senior year.

that got in my way were huge challenges and somehow I had to go through them. In sixth grade, it was difficult for me to fit in, besides the fact of being the only brown girl in my class, all the other girls seemed to have different perspectives on everything, from me. Whether it be ignoring the task I had assigned to do or whether it be actually doing it. Just remember every task, by the way, is possible to complete if you put your mind to it. My confidence level has boosted sky high in the past 3 years.

Do you know why you are still overweight? Do you understand the reason why you can't lose weight or not be able to keep it down and when you do you just jump back the other side plots as a bonus a few extra kilos you don't want?
