My Practicum Experience

I feel this statement to be very spot-on. Summer was the time of the year when I sat down with a notepad and tried to figure out what I did wrong and the things I could have handled better. I went back to school in September a little bit wiser. I feel that this self-evaluation played a major role in shaping me into the person I am today.

Please explain how your past personal and professional experience make you a quality candidate for the position for which you are applying.

Coming into my second year of high school I was so tired the first day of school not wanting to get up just wanting to sleep forever and not having to worry about school. Unfortunately living in a Mexican household that was not an option. So forcing myself out of bed and heading to school I could say I was productive over the summer. When Mr. Jarashow asked me what I had done over my summer I told him I finished all my community services hours. This helped me grow as a global citizen by taking action because I devoted my time to helping out at my local food bank (valley food bank) by helping hand out food to those who needed it, during my time at the food bank I meet a lot of new people. They shared their reason of being there and some valuable

I just want to let you know that I have not been granted access to you computer system yet. According to STEP 5, I am supposed to receive an email from your MCIT department trough an umich.edu account. However, I don’t have an umich.edu account. Also, I have not received a signed ID Request Form for a MCard ID badge.

Every week in this class we discussed and explored ways in which we (as humans) are able to ecologically restore the Earth and contribute to environmental sustainability in different ways and on different subjects such as oceans and agriculture. This class teaches and equips students with information on the downsides and effects of what we are currently doing that negatively impacts the environment but also to contribute to fixing the problems through environmental restoration. For example, the volunteer project I worked on had many end goals including cleaning the surrounding water, prevent soil erosion, and restoring the park

So I decided to do something that I did not do the first have of the program, embrace the experience. By this I mean that during the first half of the program I would do the bare minimum. I never did any of the extra activities and spent any time I wasn’t working or eating by myself. I always complained and was stubborn about the fact that I didn’t want to be there that I wouldn’t let anybody change my mind. I decided to stop doing that and choose to have fun and that’s what I did. I went to all the activities, never complained, and let myself have fun. This was the final thing that made the second half of that summer one of the best of my life. All it took was me wanting to do it.

First of all, I would like to say plan ahead. so, you can manage your time and you do not put yourself in overwhelming situations. I had a Circumstances that force me to stop going to school for a month, and that put me in stress because I try to complete the reminder hours in these upcoming two weeks. The second things, take an advantage of bing with an expert team. the teacher has 21 years experiences in the education field. I observe her during her interaction with children and other adults. I really learn a lot from her. It is a good opportunity for me. She is really helpful. She gave me an advice when I need it, answer my questions,

My personal journey in this practicum experience has been an eventful one. Once I started to get comfortable and had things down pact, it is all done with. It began with the curriculum writing project in which we were instructed to plan lessons for students that we did not have any background information on such as, prior knowledge on content or their abilities and it was rather challenging. It felt as if I was never done writing the CWP. The moment I thought that I was done writing the CWP, I had to make further changes. In the end, I learned to appreciate the CWP. Once I was in the classroom and started interacting with the students, I realized that my CWP was not developmentally appropriate for my targeted audience and the process of writing the CWP all started to make

In the practicum, I had met a lot of patients. Different patients had different situations, different caring and critical thinking were needed. I should perform the whole nursing care to patient, but not only the part of job that I had been assigned.

You are correct when you said that not every method will for every student, as we all know every student is unique in their own ways therefore they learn differently. As teachers is our duty to find out what works for them as you mentioned in your post. Last semester I did my practicum field experience at a Montesorri school which is a non-traditional school and they have a very interesting philosophy of teaching their students and that is that the child learns and develops at their own pace and according to their own choice of activities. When I read your post I thought of my experience last month at the Montessorri school, because of what you said "finding what works for each of your students". I agree with you when students learn and become

As I went into my Practicum, my philosophy was that each student deserved the chance to be included into the classroom if that would benefit the student. That was my core belief going in to my practicum. I would say that my view has not changed but what has changed is what how I would treat the students as individuals. I went in thinking they needed help doing things that might be tasks we find simple, but they struggle with. The main purpose of the adapted physical education is not to have the student succeed at sports, or even how to throw a ball. However, Kristine Hardy showed me that it was about making each student more independent and help them understand what they should do but well still in a physical education way. An example of this is we have a student at Kimberly Middle School who is in a wheelchair and struggles with certain tasks.

One aspect of time management in my practicum experience that stood out to me is how in home health you set your own schedule and time to meet with patients A lot of home health is based on making time for charting, driving, breaks, and appointments with patients so that it is congruent with an eight hour shift. It can be very challenging to make your schedule feasible for all patients. Also, if patients don’t answer their phone in the morning it makes it very difficult to set appointment times for the day. There were times during my clinical experience where a patient would be called in the morning to set a time for their visit, they wouldn’t answer so a message would be left, and then there would be no call back all day. That means the next

I have already had for two week’s practicum work. I had been worrying a lot before it starts, and I get used to it now, and we just have four days left.
