Individual Reflection

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

On August 10, 2016 I was dispatched to Hull, Jackson Elementary School on an Unruly student incident. I spoke with Mrs. Martha Phillips, Principal of the school, she stated that second grade student Jairon Day, hit a teacher in the face today. I spoke with Mrs. Erin Cox, she stated “At approximately 11:30 I picked my class up from art and took them to the courtyard for recess. JD followed instructions during recess. We came in at 11:45. As we headed up the stairs JD did not want to come with the class. He did come upstairs but kept wandering away from the class. He cut in and out of Mrs. Cross’ line and tried to go into the teacher’s workroom. This lasted several minutes. He would not get in line but did finally follow directions to stay with the class.

Student becomes very argumentative and disrespectful when told to sit or enter the building without pushing others and throwing his book bag. He may push others around verbally or physically. He makes inappropriate verbal gestures and exhibited a bad temper, foul mouth and throws tantrums when he does not get his way.

Through these developments Conrad is able to remain to who he once was but continue to live on with life.

In order to prepare for this torero trek, I would attend more resume and elevator pitch workshops, and schedule more appointments at the career development center. I attended the Engineering Career fair that was on the 4th of October. In which, I got my first exposure to employers and I was able to practice my elevator pitch and my networking skills. I later scheduled an appointment with Rhonda Harley at the career development center to get some feedback on my resume.

As a result of the traumatic injuries which I sustained on December 4, 2014, while working as a police officer and on duty, I am unable to perform my duties as a police officer in a safe and effective manner, without jeopardizing the safety of myself, my coworkers, as well as the public’s, which I took an oath to serve and protect.

In this report, I am going to describe my own role in helping the team to achieve its goal in relation to the group report and the practical negotiation exercise’s. Also I will provide evidence of my contribution to the cohesiveness of the group and how I facilitated the completion of the group goals.

At the beginning of my ATS unit my career goals were to be successfully offered an interview and gain a position in bachelor of Medicine in 2018 and to explore other medical field jobs I can do by the end of 2017 so I know what other alternative options are available. My learning goal was to get four HD’s for my semester two units in 2017. Even though it’s too early to say whether I will be achieving my goals, I still have the same career and learning goals. The only difference is that the strategies I have for achieving them are different and I’m also more aware of the hurdles that I may have to face in order to achieve my goals.

As a way to establish how my personal body pedagogies could influence the learning experience of my future students a process of reflection takes place. This reflection will enable me to analyse the context of primary schooling, my prior and current body experiences and understand how the body is a socially produced idea. It is then I will be able to understand how my personal body story may affect my future HPE pedagogies and impact the experiences of my future students. As I described earlier I attended primary school at my local public school in Western Sydney. During all my years at primary school I was always involved in sporting carnivals, teams and classes. I was an outgoing students which enabled me to have the confidence during physical education. Due to my physical physique, as I was very tall for my age throughout school I was always encouraged by teachers to ‘try out’ for sporting teams or join events at the sports carnivals. It was during these events that my love for physical activity grew. The primary school I attended away promoted physical activity (Board of Studies, 2007) whether it was during lunch having teachers in the playground setting up games for children to participate in or providing students the opportunity to join different teams, PSSA or dance group participation within physical activities was encouraged. A reason why physical activities was an important part of my primary school is that the teachers were always involved and there to encourage

The ninth field exercise asked us to focus on the concept of bodies and how we present them to society. I visited a Walmart and went to the personal care/hygiene section. While mapping the store, I noticed that although the placement of most of the products made sense, the layout of the store was a little strange. The first rows of makeup were at a strange angle, but the next couple of rows were parallel to the rest of the rows in the store. I could not tell why they were angled that way, as it seemed like it was just wasting space.

Here in reflection number two, I will be showing my learning development progress in two learning outcomes. As we continue to move through the class, I feel like I have semi, very close to, mastered analyzing and critiquing communication theories based upon appropriate evaluation criteria. Additionally, I have mastered my understanding of articulating the role and functions of communication processes in everyday social interaction.
