The purpose of the display below is to illustrate the results of my Personal Learning Profile in a column chart. The numbers noted on the x-axis reflect the numerical representation of numbers in the most natural zone of the PLP (this is because all of my scores were ranked in the most natural zone). To read the rankings on the display, start from the number 26 at the bottom of the x-axis (which is the ranking that indicates where the most natural zone begins) and read upwards. The y-axis displays the five listening approaches (which I will summarize shortly) of my PLP according to page 3 of my PLP report, as well as how they each individually rank, the primary rankings are displayed first, followed by the secondary rankings.
Since social media is instantaneously growing, it makes it a lot easier to write reviews online or to rate a particular subject. As an example, there are many websites that let us consumers post reviews and ratings, such as Yelp, Facebook, Angie’s List, Foursquare, and Google Reviews. Similary, the website RateMyProfessor.com allow the students to annonymously rate their professor on different scales and marks. Recently, multiple debates came up about if is it fair to rate professors online. According to RateMyProfessors.com, “RateMyProfessors.com is the largest online destination for professor ratings. Users have added more than 15 million ratings, 1.4 million professors and over 7,000 schools...” These debate leads to multiple arguments ranging
The story took place in the 1930’s in a town called Maycomb, Alabama. The story is told to us by a young child in her perspective. It was during the time where racism was a big part of the word still. The story told by the child during a trail of an African American facing charges of rape of a white women. The child name is scout and her father Atticus given the trial to defend the African American name Tom Robison, but Atticus already knew how the outcome of the trial was going to be. Atticus raised his children Scout and Jem in a very different way from many different white folks raised their own. Jem and Scout get to see a different perspective of the world from their father Atticus and there black cook Calpurnia. Jem and Scout did not have a mother figure so Calpurnia took the role of being the mother figure by giving her life lesson to Scout and Jem. Jem and Scout to see the world how it is instead of seeing the black and white like most people. Atticus try’s to be honest with his children and does his best to explain things to his children that would make his children understand the situation. As a reader we see that Atticus try’s to do good for the community for the whites and blacks. He want his children to believe that tolerance of people and for the word of the bible, but to accept and forgive as well of other people way of thinking.
Locke and Latham (2002 p.702) express that in order to succeed when setting goals, “specific” goals with a higher difficulty prove to be the most effective method. In order to effectively model my goal within this criteria, I have chosen a specific educational goal that will be an adequate level of challenge. My goal is to achieve and maintain a 3.3 GPA in the Winter 2016 semester. This goal will allow me to test various learning skills that are beneficial in a University context. It will also help me to better understand my current learning preferences and habits. Ellis, Toft, and Dawson (2012) describe how understanding and applying effective learning methods can be greatly beneficial in any setting.
Learning is a process on how we grow and develop. In life, we are constantly learning and we will never stop learning because there are always new skills to learn and techniques for us to adopt. As we take a look around us, we could probably find at least one technological item that we have in our household that may have upgraded or improved in the last few years or decade. So, I can’t really tell when or how I will evaluate that I am growing as a learner because I am constantly learning. However, I can evaluate that I am growing as a learner if I am current or up to date with today’s culture.
As you are now well aware the PEP is an effective pre-employment screening tool. You also know applicants for law enforcement are normally looking for a career position, and if they are not hired at the first department they will often continue applying at other agencies. One way you can make the PEP more effective is recommending neighboring Law Enforcement Agencies also use the PEP. With our share program you will benefit by having access to PEP results your applicants have taken in the past.
Assessments for learning contributes to future planning for all who are involved in the learning process. All involved in the assessments for learning will learn from the experience.
PPS: After completing the personal profile system worksheet, it was clear I had strong tendencies in the dominance category with secondary tendencies in the influence category leading to a results oriented profile pattern. Taking authority and making quick decisions are two dominance traits which are common with this type of profile, and they are also two traits that I’ve routinely demonstrated throughout my career. Accepting challenges head on is something I’ve always enjoyed and I possess a high level of confidence in my ability to overcome any obstacle. Those feelings are displayed in my rugged individualism, which creates a driving force of character and diligence that I’ve used to influence others in the accomplishment of the mission. This reinforces my need to take charge of the situation, believing that I’m the right person to ensure the job gets done. Additionally, my ability to think on my feet and make critical decisions very quickly often leads to success in my career field of aircraft maintenance, where time is often the number one critical factor impacting mission accomplishment. The influential side of my profile includes traits of articulation and active participation in a group. With each group activity we break into, I never hesitate to actively promote ideas and I’m often the one taking the most active speaking role as the group works through the assignment. A highly developed ability of articulation promotes the environment I desire to verbalize
Disraeli). It is November 1st and I have just found out that I have three assessments
A long time ago, or 12 years ago, on November tenth 2002 I was born. In this essay I will be talking about myself and in this paragraph, I will talk about myself such as how I learn and what I am on the 4mat learner profile. First of all, I will be talking about myself and who I am, I love dogs and I am driven to be a veterinarian from Colorado State University. I also want to be an individual who helps the common population. Now I will talk about who I am as a learner. As a learner, I am principled and smart. I follow directions and I love to be on the honor roll. That is who I am on the MYP learner profile. Another aspect is that I am educated and I try the best I can possibly achieve with my learning so I can complete my goals.
All students are familiar with assessments. They have been assessed on various levels all through primary and secondary school, and if they attended school afterward they 've experienced assessments in postsecondary school as well. Why do we do assessments? Assessments are necessary - they not only tell the instructor how well the students are doing but they also tell the instructor how well they are teaching. But there is much more to assessments than that. Assessments can be “an excellent instructional method to provide understanding
The instructional setting is a family and consumer sciences sewing lab classroom at Wahlquist Junior High in Farr West, Utah. Equipment in the room includes 35 sewing machines, 8 sergers and 3 embroidery machines. Many other minor pieces of equipment are also located in the classroom such as irons and rotary blades.
My case study student is a 5th grader in Mrs. Helm’s classroom. Her name is Imani. She started school at U.S. Jones approximately a month ago. She moved to Demopolis from the state of Kentucky. In her first few days at U.S. Jones I noticed that she was very reserved. She did not want any attention directed to her. She would do the assigned work but did not want to answer any questions aloud or go to the board. When Imani moved to Demopolis, her previous school did not send any paper work or test scores with her. So the school system had no idea what educational background she had. I have over heard Imani tell her classmates that she is supposed to be in the 6th grade; no one has mentioned this to me so I am unsure of what
User requirement analysis approaches fall within two major categories, which are supply-driven and demand-driven. Supply-driven approaches which is also called as data-driven, start with an analysis of all the available operational data. This is a bottom-up technique introduced by Inmon (1996) with emphasis on underlying operational data sources as the basis to establish the scope and the functionality of a DW. Data-driven approach starts with identifying all available data within transactional data source and analyses it in order to produce data mapping.
According to the National Education Association the teacher assessment and evaluation is used to strengthen the knowledge, skills dispositions, and classroom, practices of professional education. The aim of the evaluation to promote student growth and learning. Comprehensive systems that support teacher evaluation will foster professionally and instructionally.

In addition, I will elaborate and critique North Carolina evaluation system for teachers.
There are many interventions put in place to help students succeed in learning and understanding. I looked into one particular strategy that teachers use to help students learn, which is allowing students to retake assessments. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there is a difference in students’ mathematics achievement in a class that is allowed to retake assessments and a class that is not allowed to retake assessments. In order to discover the information that has already been gathered on retake assessments and their impact on student learning, I conducted a literature review. In this review, I will first introduce retake assessments, followed by the history of retakes, and the benefits and drawbacks of retakes. Additionally, I will compare retakes to other remediation alternatives. Finally, I will discuss the gaps in the knowledge of retakes and their effect on student achievement.
