Pedagogical Journal Essay

I was the activities director and as activities director, I executed and supervised extracurricular activities, programs, and field trips. I created and designed promotional materials for all activities, wrote and published school newsletters, and managed social media content. Being an adolescent in this position, gave me a better insight on what the students desired and I, in turn, gave the students a greater experience in that area. I will take that drive, determination, and experience, and everything I learned from it and apply it to my schoolwork and my overall college

The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) is the primary professional organization for school psychologists in the U.S. NASP is dedicated to improving the mental health and education of students.

From this passion, I have worked in my community to become more globally minded. I was incredibly fortunate to be selected by my high school to attend the 16th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, in which I listened to Nobel Prize winners talk about peacebuilding around the world, further inspiring me to work in social reform. This past July, I was selected to attend Camp Rising Sun, where I developed my leadership skills while living with 60 young women from around the

This is a category that I feel we are slowing getting better at. There is a wide variety of classes whether it be here or at Indian Hills that teaches students the basics of business. I feel as though more in depth in classes should be taught on how to own and run a business rather than how a business works. The idea of teaching students about business laborers is taught more than being business leaders. This is why business leaders are a lot less common. Teaching students that they can be more successful than working under someone is something that should be done

Diversity encompasses numerous characteristics including socio-economic background, ethnicity, special needs, gender, and giftedness (Cazden, 2001). Today, classrooms are getting more varied and diverse with students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and students with a disability. It appears that teachers must meet the needs of all students successfully and individually to effectively teach a classroom of diverse students. This paper will first identify three challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies are

The purpose of public education is to enable students to be contributing members of society. Without it, the world would not be as we know it today in a very intelligent and complex society. Education is important in very many ways, probably too many to be listed. But I believe that among all other things that it allows students, by being educated, to live their lives in a way in which they can be successful in whatever they do. By learning about the trials and errors of those who came before us permits students to make well thought out decisions later on in their life. I personally hope to be able to better my students' lives by educating them about the overall curriculum and standards brought about

In this heavily pretreated patient population, pemetrexed, a 2nd generation antifolate agent produced an objective response of 26% (4/15) in patients with thymoma. 2 complete responses and 2 partial responses were documented, whereas there was only one partial response in patients with thymic carcinoma. The response rate of 9% in patients with thymic carcinoma suggests that pemetrexed is not active in this more aggressive phenotype. This is the first study to prospectively demonstrate the clinical activity of pemetrexed in thymic malignancies and solidifies the role of pemetrexed in the second line, and beyond in advanced thymoma. Prior to this, a Phase I trial of pemetrexed conducted in Japan demonstrated a partial response in one patient

At my ongoing placement year at KPMG, I was recently assigned as the In-charge for a group of three summer undergraduate interns from the months of June – August 2016. My role included acting as a guide to the new recruits, showing them the ropes of the various functionalities of the unit, and being their first point of contact in case of any issues or challenges that may arise at work. This was a very good experience that gave me an insight on leadership in the professional environment, and also gave me the chance to see the importance of not only to be a “teacher” in a position of leadership but also the relevance of being a “student” as well. At university, I had the opportunity to be the Treasurer of the FXU chapter of Enactus, a society

Over the past year, I have been involved in several committees at the department and college levels. When I began my service at UDC, I was a member of the Faculty Senate for two years. This allowed me to learn the university culture and the importance of shared governance. Thereafter, the committees in which I volunteered to serve were, not only interdisciplinary and collaborative, but were those that served the needs of students. For example, in the past, I served as a member of the College of Arts and Sciences Grievance Committee which met as needed to resolve instructor/student conflicts. My colleagues on the Committee were representatives of every division in the College. The challenge of meeting the student’s needs as well as being

Planning and directing this service project taught me to lead by example, delegate responsibility, and be a conscientious organizer preparing me for the demands required of a leader in today’s society. I plan to use this experience to continue to serve my community and nation. Service to me is not just another thing that I can add to my college application, but is a deeper commitment. Service forges an unbreakable bond between me and those I serve, and a bond that I cherish very

I am a biology major. Our task was to find an academic journal that pertains to our specific major, I did just that. I ventured to the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences to obtain my article. I am glad I did because the material is fascinating and heavily relates to my interests. The article I choose is called “Shared Genetic Predisposition in Peripartum and Dilated Cardiomyopathies” which has a large number of contributors. This article has heavy uses of jargon that even I had a difficult time understanding.
