My Teaching Performance I have stated teaching computer science in 2004 in a private international high school. Beside on Marzano’s five domains and Haberman’s Dimensions, I would rate myself 3 on a scale of 10. I haven’t thought about my first year teaching until this assignment. When I look at the dimensions and domains I thought about myself that I was a terrible teacher. I had an idea about how to teach, what should be done in classroom, however applying these theories to the real life classroom environment was not easy for me as first year teacher. In my first classroom, I was eager to teach everything in the curriculum without differentiation. I believe that my enthusiasm for subject help me to build a strong relationship between myself and my students. I would rate myself 9 on a scale of 1-10. I rated myself 9 because I feel that I am confident of what I am teaching with my eleven years of experience. I have clear expectations, rules and classroom procedures. I demonstrate solid knowledge of the concepts and skills. I know how to display and apply a wide range of effective pedagogical approaches in my subject. I use several different types of learning and provide opportunities for diverse learning styles. I did not rate myself 10 because I think there are some areas I need to improve myself such as alignment of outcomes with current standards. My Teaching Performance Versus Student Needs I am not teaching computer science anymore but I serve as a mentor

Inclusion in education is an approach to educating students with special needs. Under the inclusion model, students with special needs spend most or all of their time with non-disabled students. Implementation of these practices varies.
The data sets for problems 5 and 6 can be found through the Pearson Materials in the Student Textbook Resource Access link, listed under Academic Resources. The data is listed in the data file named Lesson 20 Exercise File 1. Answer Exercises 5 and 6 based on the following research problem:
Abstract: Cell membranes play an important role in regulating what goes in and out of the cell. Diffusion, the process of movement of substances across the cell membrane from higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration, plays an active role in the transport and the regulation through cellular membrane. Sometimes, there are cases when cells are placed in hypotonic solutions and substances will diffuse through the cell membrane too much and will result the cell to hemolysis, causing it to swell and rupture. In this lab, we observed and recorded the time it took for diffusion of a propanol series substance to diffuse through a mixture of ovine blood to
Time, said to be eternal, possess neither a beginning nor an end. Yet however there is a fixation on being able to measure it in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Trying to save time with new technology, manage time with multi-tasking activities. All in the hopes of giving meanings to the past, present and future. The past is able to been seen but not changed, today is in the present yet still unpredictable, and tomorrow is not guaranteed. If I Could Tell You by W. H. Auden is a villanelle much like others using rhyme, repetition, and meter, that revolve around the main idea of the continuity time and its unforeseeable nature.

If a survey was carried out among teachers of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and Teachers of English as a Second Language (TESOL), a finding would be that a major concern for teachers is the inability to find appropriate material or the perfect text for their lesson. This is the basis for the article by Swale. Swale in his investigation puts forward two different options to overcome this problem. At this stage the author notes that no matter what approach is taken, the teacher needs to double as an editor or in some cases a material developer/writer.
Lois is a 32 year married woman and has three children; two boys aged 8 years and 5 years, and a 3-year old girl. She was born into a middle class Portuguese family.

Urie Brofenbrenner is an American developmental psychologist who is best known for his Ecological Systems Theory of child development. This theory “focuses on broad, interconnected influences on human development. It proposes that we can best explain development in terms of the interactions between individuals and the environments in which they live (Mossler, 2013, Chapter 2, Section 2.6, Urie Bronfenbrenner and the Ecological Systems Theory,” para 1). While reviewing the Looking into the Past assignment I decided on the two events listed in the following pages to explain how these events and the Brofenbrenner theory affected me.
As I look back to when I first started taking this class I began to think about the things that I have learned. It had been quite a long time since I wrote anything other than basic notes or letters before I started taking the EN100 course. In fact, I have never been much of a writer even when writing about subjects I enjoy, so when the Justice was brought up as the main topic of the papers that we would be writing over the semester I was less then pleased. Now that my misgivings as a writer and my distain for the overall subject matter are out in the open, let’s get back to the subject at hand. What have I learned in EN100 or more specifically, what have I learned from each of the papers I wrote on justice and from the in class writings?
Everyone knows that it is illegal to consume alcohol until the age of 21. Many people are In agreement with this legal restriction. Some would even say that it needs to be raised. Why is 21 the "magical" age that makes one intelligent and mature enough to consume alcohol? Surely, some adults abuse alcohol and some teenagers would be perfectly able to drink responsibly. Many have asked the question, should the drinking age be lowered from age twenty-one to age eighteen. The national drinking age for men and woman should remain at age twenty-one. Before 1982 there was no national conformity in the laws dealing with alcohol consumption legal age. Each state had different laws and regulations set on the drinking age. In the
Going back to get my master’s degree was a tough decision for me. I always used to say I was not going to get my master’s degree because there was no reason to get it, especially seeing, as I wanted to be a flight nurse for a local medical helicopter. However, thinking about it a little more I realized I might want to teach later on in my career. I did not want to have to go back to school later on. At this point in my life, it was a good time to go back to school, I do not have any kids, and my schedule is not that busy. I decided to pursue the generalist track because I am not one hundred percent sure what I want to do further on in my career. I like the idea that if I do decide later on that I want to teach I can go back and take a few classes and get my certificate in education. Being on the generalist track keeps more options open for me later on in my career. At a master’s degree level “outcome goals… include reading the nursing and health care literature, critically appraising evidence as a basis for practice decisions, and applying it to patient care to make care decisions with the best information available” (Kim & Hayat, 2015, p. 144). Being a master’s prepared nurse will allow me to give the patients I am taking care of better quality care

“ A good leader doesn’t get stuck behind a desk.” - Richard Branson. This quote was said by Richard Branson. He dropped out of high school at the age of 16, and he became the founder of the Virgin Group, which controls over 400 companies. Richard did not have a great school education, yet he still went pretty far in life. Mr. Branson learned more from his personal experiences than he thought that he would have learned sitting behind a desk in school. Scout learns more life lessons out on the streets of Maycomb than sitting in class. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Scout gains a better understanding of the world and the things that go on around her from the lessons that she lives, not the lessons that
This paper explores the various methods I have learned as a student in the introduction to research course. The skills and methods taught in this class have been presented through course textbooks, online articles and videos, and interaction with the professor. Other opportunities for learning the research skills and methods occurred through writing of papers, testing knowledge through quizzes, and through interactive discussion board threads and posts. In addition to acknowledging these learned methods, this paper also includes insight into how I will be able to proceed in future courses, applying this newly acquired knowledge of research along with a biblical worldview, and how to properly examine research methods against the consistency of biblical principles and ethics. The challenge in writing a paper like this has been to write it in the format of an APA article, as outlined within the APA Manuel. Much of the context throughout the paper may seem less than scholarly, given that this is a paper written by myself, about myself, but that context will align with the instructions for the assignment.
