My Mentor Reflection

I have been in a few school activities. One of the main activities that I have been involved in is Color guard. Since my sophomore year, I have been on the guard and participating in all of the competitions with the band. It is a great way to get involved, make new friends, and create new experiences. I am also in my school’s National Honor Society which is an organization that consists of the top academic scholars. We do volunteer work and do activities that display integrity. We have done blood drives as well as packaged food for Kids Against Hunger. That is another organization that people can do to help package food for children across seas that don’t have any source of nourishment. I am an active thespian which is a group of sorts that is dedicated to the fine arts. I have been one since my freshmen year and have been either stage manager or assistant stage manager for two plays and three musicals. My junior year as well as this year I was involved in National

I am an active member of my school and community. At school I feel that i've gained the respect of my peers being elected as Student Council representative for the past four years. I have also been elected the treasurer of the choir, and secretary of the band. I am part of the Ross Middle School bucket drumming group and have been casted as part of the school theatre’s annual play. After school on Wednesdays I assist Ms. Rullman in helping students with homework and enhancing study methods. I am currently participating in science olympiad and have in the past. I am also an anchor on the popular Good Morning Ross Middle School weekly news show. In addition, I have been a part of National Junior Honor Society which takes part in service projects

In volleyball and basketball, I have been selected as team captains and awarded all league 1st team honors. Also in basketball, I have led the state in 3-pointers, broken the school record for 3-pointers in a game, and received Honorable Mention all-state. I am Student Council Activities Chair, the class of 2018 treasurer, three-time yearbook editor and FBLA public relations officer. The past three years I have competed in District and State FBLA competitions where I received 3rd in Journalism, and 1st place in Word Processing my junior year at districts, as well as getting 5th at state in Publication Designs. By not only being involved in various organizations, but holding leadership positions in them has taught me leadership skills and

I have been a member of Girl Scouts for eleven years. October 2014 I was nominated to represent the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia as a delegate in the national convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am currently working to achieve my Gold Award, dealing with literacy among elementary school students, which I should complete by the end of this year. I also volunteer at the Columbia County Library every Monday. Though I worked backstage in my school’s drama production, I have also been on the stage for many productions including Peter Pan, the Jungle Book, Dear Santa, and numerous church Christmas plays. I am also very involved in my church. I have been an alter server for seven years and I am part of Life Teen and Word Wide

This is my reflective account of my performance as a mentor in a clinical setting, assessing the learning environment and the strategies used for teaching and assessing a newly qualified theatre nurse.

Wow! This first marking period flew by! It was long but also short, seemly taking a long time to get by but also breezing through like the wind through a flag. Every day at the beginning of class, we do this activity called Mentor Sentences. We read an excerpt of text and identify the figurative language or other writer’s craft in it and use that to write a sentence with those same techniques. I think that is has been really beneficial to me because I have combined certain strategies that I have not used that often. Every week we get syllabi, (which becomes a syllabus when you have a lot of them) and it outlines the week’s work for us. It’s really helpful because then you know all the due dates and you can work a little on each thing and you’ll get it all done. Each week we also have Root Words, where we take a root of a word, learn it’s meaning, find words with that root and that meaning and use them in sentences. Some examples of our root words are acou, which means hearing, aster, which means star and bibl, which means book. Remember that One Pager I made? Yes, that poster thing that I made and I furiously scribbled on it on the dinner table until I thought it looked okay. Mrs. Thompson hung them outside the classroom and lots of kids are up, and it was really cool to go out and look at all of them. This marking period, we held a dead verb funeral to bid them farewell from our writing. It was funny but also a little gloomy because of the poems that other students were

Over the year and a half of working with Ben, he has repeatedly demonstrated a great drive for research, education, and investing in his graduate students. His drive for the education of others has been clearly demonstrated. Having been in one of his classes, I can assure you that his teaching methods are highly effective. He really strives to get his students engaged in useful and interesting discussions about course material no matter how abstract or difficult it might be. Further, several of his past students have cited Ben as their inspiration for their interest in neuroscience. His drive for research and discovery is clear when looking at his track record as well

On the surface, Carnegie Mellon checks all the boxes. It is an academically rigorous, midsize university where I can pursue my passions for business, design, cross country, and track. However, it wasn’t until I spent three days on campus speaking with faculty members, coaches, students, and admissions officers that I knew CMU was the right place for me.

The aim of this essay is to discuss on how the reflection on mentorship will be undertaken, how and why the model of reflection will be used and the importance of confidentiality. I will reflect the mentorship by ensuring that the mentee during clinical practice is put at ease throughout the learning experience of four weeks (Quinn, and Hughes 2007, p. 29). Also, I will use the principle of Kolb’s learning cycle as my model of reflection because reflecting is an essential element of learning. As I am the mentor, I will follow this cycle in a clockwise direction with Jude, so she would have to reflect on the skills learnt by reviewing the whole situation (Kolb’s learning cycle 1984 in Rose and Best 2005, p.129). This would enable Jude to

I was a “good kid” and parents and teachers liked me. In first grade, I was selected to be a part of the REACH program which fosters group work for gifted children. In the fifth grade, because of my respect for and ability to communicate with kids of differing ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds, I was selected to be a peer mediator . As a peer mediator, I used my listening skills, communication skills and ethical judgment to help my peers resolve problems. I was also involved in team sports from an early age, and since sophomore year I have been captain of my high school's tennis team. I also learned a lot from my commitment to community service, completing many hours of volunteering for projects that helped my community. [Can you add more here about some of these community projects?]

“If life always went according to plan, we wouldn’t have met each other.” This may sound like a line from a romantic comedy, but this is actually a phrase said to me by my mentor, Leah Thompson. Besides inspiring me to continue my education in the highest degree possible, Leah has also empowered me to take risks in my life that have ultimately allowed me to achieve positions I never believed I could hold.

I arrived just before the students return from them after lunch recess. The kids gather in the room, took off their coats and boats and put on their inside shoes. The students then gather at the circle carpet for read aloud with their teacher. My mentor teacher has started reading the Charlotte’s Web to the students. Many of the students had either read the book or saw the movie so they were extremely excited to give their input during the reading. My mentor teacher read several chapters and the gradually transitioned the students to their language art centers. This is the week they will be finishing up these particular learning centers, as a new set of centers will be set up for the next week. My mentor teacher changes the centers every week

I met with seventeen individuals (listed below) and one group during my three-day visit. I was not able to meet with one person due to schedule conflicts.

As part of my introduction, I would like to mention that my research project is about mentoring where I have chosen ‘questioning’ as my strategy. In this report, I will discuss in detail about my ‘Mentoring through Questioning’, which is a key for my research project report. Here, I will cover the project’s context in which it was set, my aims and focus of the project, my justification on why I have chosen mentoring through questioning and the types of questions being used during this project, in support of the relevant literature. And then eventually, I will mention about the interactive sessions between a mentor and mentee, the reflection or the perspectives, specifying the self-analysis as well as the required feedback from mentee as part of the research strategy. Later, I will conclude this report by mentioning about the effectiveness of mentoring sessions and the future actions planned for my skills development.

Within Sports Coaching Literature, it has been established that reflection is a generic term for intellectual and effective activities, in which individuals examine their experiences, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation (Knowles, et al., 2006). Research in this field has advocated reflective practice as an approach to professional development which positively impacts coaching effectiveness (Cropley, et al., 2012). This reflective report shall discuss, analyse and evaluate my own personal development throughout my first semester spent studying at UCFB, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation, and help explore my decisions and experiences, increasing understanding of
