Knowledge Of Strengths: Course Analysis

Rather than focusing on what the child can’t do, focus on what he can do. Recognising that the child has the initiative to take on experiences that empowers his development. Implementing inclusive, strengths based activities exercises the way children can recognise their competencies, this also involves the relationships you entitle with parents and fellow educators to aid the child's development.

Strength is that part of your intellect or nervous system that is more effective and productive than other parts. Throughout your experience of life, your actions or reactions drive different thoughts, behavior and emotion in your brain. The requests that are processed more efficiently and rapidly are known as your strengths. Nowadays, strengths-based approaches to work and life are gaining a lot of popularity and often they are used to improve leadership and create more productive and efficient work teams.

After the first semester of freshman year at Bentley University, students take a Career Development Seminar, which begins by taking a survey about strengths. Out of 34 strengths, the test lists the top 5 strengths for each person. Bentley students typically share the same type of strengths, such as Analytical, Focus, Maximizer, Strategic, and Woo. However, when I received my results, I felt like the elephant in the room. While most people received Competitive and Achiever as their top two strengths, mine came back as Relator and Empathy. As awkward as it was to explain to my teacher that my results were atypical, this moment lit a light bulb inside of my head. During my first semester, I struggled with my business courses, and none of the material seemed to pique my interest. At first, I wrote this off as a transition period and a time where I just needed to adjust to the college lifestyle while away from home and on my own. As time went on, this idea began to turn into serious doubt about whether the corporate business world was for me. The only problem was that Bentley is known for its business programs; in fact, out of 24 majors

My understandings of strengths based perspective come from both class discussions and from reading chapter one in the text written by Dennis Saleebey. Strengths based theory is a type of practice in the social work profession that helps the clients see their problems or struggles from a positive perspective, what I mean by this is that instead of using the clients problems to guide the focus of the sessions and practice. The social worker practitioner uses the person’s strengths, abilities and willpower to guide the client in helping the client improve their quality of life. Though in the reading the author goes in-depth about strengths based perspective the point of strengths based perspective is to help the client see that no matter what circumstances they have been in or currently are experiencing, every single person and family has strengths.

Houston Community College’s chapter of The National Society of Collegiate Scholars is welcoming over 500 new members this semester.

It’s important and critical to know what are my strengths and weakness, I must know what I should improve and focus on. This way I will be able to achieve my aims of accomplishing good work and high results for this course. This can achieved by identifying and planning of the following:

Problem solving approach is a traditional and foundational aspect of general Social Work practice. It is based on identifying a problem or set of problems facing a client and formulating a framework of possible options with the hope of fixing the problem or improving the situation. Although, the worker may guide the client and inform them of the possibilities and options available, the client is still solely responsible for their own choices and actions. The formal application of this principle is the definition, assessment, setting of goals, intervention and resolution.

Throughout the semester I have learned a lot about my strengths. At first, I had no clue what they were. I also had no clue that they can help explain why certain people work well in a group together or why they don't. My strengths have helped me adjust to life as a college student and even helped me to figure out what I want to do after my college career is over. Events like the Heritage Project, The Student Leadership book, the networking event, and even the peer mentor presentations gave me a lot to think about when considering my future. This class has helped me develop my leadership skills and grow as an Otterbein student by allowing me to better understand myself.

The one thing I learned from this assignment is how important a portfolio can be. If you have a very well put-together portfolio, your chances of getting a job on campus are increased. This makes a lot of sense to me because if I was looking for employees for my company, I would want to make sure I am hiring the best ones. I was fascinated by the idea of uploading our Strengths finder report, and an assignment that I have pride in. This assignment really allowed me to show others what I am truly capable of.

Taking the StrengthsQuest survey highlighted five of my characteristics and presented them as useful tools for taking charge of my academic and professional life. The results were as I expected, but provided a new perspective on what I already knew about myself. During his visit, Craig Benson described talents or themes as predispositions (11). As a predisposition, a talent is how a person naturally thinks, acts, and feels (Benson 4). Many of the signature themes or talents assigned to me were similar in their application and results, but two stood out. My academic and professional life will be driven by these two traits: achiever and input.

Throughout the course of my workplace practices class I have participated in a consisted of completing assignments and work experience regarding my career pathways. As I look back and reflect on my time at this course, I am able to explore the graduate qualities and capabilities I have achieved over the duration of this study period, as well as the skills and abilities I need to improve on. Graduate qualities are skills that have been learned by students throughout the course of their schooling life, for example, it is a learning outcome of a program specifically stating the things that's been learned by students who have completed that program of study. In this reflection, I will be discussing about my strength and weakness personal

Along with these, I am a good decision maker, due to which I can make right and quick decisions. Moreover, I have ability to motivate others and do team work. I am also a responsible person, when I make a target; I work day and night to achieve my goal.

When I think of the word interview I think of it as a series of questions asked from one person to another to seek information. In my previous assessment we were asked to interview a fellow peer, on their personal experience of QIBT so far this year. We were not given any question, but made to think of our own. As we were interviewing our peer another peer was marking us on our overall ability to interview. This piece of reflective writing will be an explanation of what I thought my personal strengths and weaknesses were throughout my interview.

In the first part we addressed issues regarding who will be conducting the interview, how to prepare before you attend and how to impress the tutors of Oxford. In the second part we are offering advice on what to expect from the interview, and how to deal with pre-interview nerves.

The Caribbean Examination Council provides an annual report on the performance of students in the CXC English A General Proficiency Examination for 2011-2013 January examinations. The report gives general and specific advice to teachers. It also aims to inform teachers and other school officials about the strengths and weaknesses of students’ performance in the examination. The report stipulates what teachers need to do in order to help students to become competent writers instead of struggling writers. Additionally, the report stipulates that English should be an ongoing process of acquiring and developing high order skills. For the three year period, the report has shown similar trends of the weaknesses and strengths of students in particular
