Focus 2 Assignment

Looking back from when I began my career, I can say I came a long way learning the concepts of understanding the expectations that arose from all my positions. In my first job just after graduating, I was appointed as a Business Accountant of a multinational company. Since then, I was caught in the myth that people who were in leadership positions or high ranking were leaders. Being in a junior position, I could have the least effect on any new ideas as my voice seems to have landed in deaf ears. I have seen how those businesses were not in line with their Missions and Values only to find later that many of the staff had left the company.

I am writing in concern of the Focus 2 assessment. This assessment is made up of 5 short questionnaires. Each one of the surveys, consist of roughly eighteen multiple choice questions.

In my work interest assessment I scored high in artistic and low in conventional, these results surprised because I never thought of myself being artistic in ways of poetry, singing, acting, or painting. My personal values were income,

By analyzing the pre-assessment data, Focus Student 1 has mastered the majority of the objectives that will be covered throughout this unit. Based on Focus Student 1 score, I can tell that he will have no trouble determining whether the New Deal was an effective response to the Great Depression, and determining if FDR’s New Deal undermined the constitutional principles of separation of powers and checks and balances. In terms of other learning goals, I would like Focus Student 1 to fully participate in all learning activities. He as the tendency to lose focus and checks out.

I see the world with emphasis on information that comes through my five senses. There are two of my strongest interest are , I am investigative and sociable type person. Another one of my highest values are recognition and valuing relationships that I cherish. Obtaining information that I need to get the job done and make decisions on objective principle and impersonal facts. Also, I am a thinker, always try think things out before it happens. Sometimes I like taking risk, but enjoy working alone. Next, AS I was researcher for my career the Myers Briggs personality matched some careers that caught my attention such as becoming a Pharmacist, Physician, and lawyer. The one that I AM interesting in is Pharmacy . Their natural about this career consist of viewing prescription to assure accuracy. Pharmacists fill prescriptions based on the information and dosage provided by the doctor. Pharmacists must ensure that the dosage is correct for the patient and his condition.

Focus Student 2 completed the assessment solving 4 out 6 correctly 66% accuracy. As expected, all of the multiplication was correctly calculated. Recalling multiplication facts is a strength of Focus Student 2. On the other hand, rushing and making careless mistakes is a weakness of Focus Student 2.

For the first assignment, Focus Student 2 was great at being open to learning a new topic that he was not comfortable with. This makes teaching lessons so much easier. For example, when we were at the back table he told me he did not understand how to measure, but that he will work on it! Areas in need of improvement are knowing that estimations and measurements do not need to be the same number and how to use a ruler to measure. For example, on problems 4, 5, and 6 this student had the same number placed for the estimations and measurements. This showed me that he was not comfortable using a ruler and chose to place his estimation number down again,

After taking the test, I get Artistic, Conventional and Enterprising. The result is very similar with the test which I took before. However, these three interests are not easy to find a job.
