Reflection Journal inspiration that you had during this time period
It has been amazing journey for me to have a class with Prof Milambiling as we always discovered new terms and issues in the field of TESOL. Many times, that I was just amazed with the topic of discussion in each meeting as I always forget that we only have 50 minutes to cover that topic. In this journal, I would like to share my notes about two topics that have inspired me to give more contribution to my work field and these issues were so unfortunate not to be discussed further in the class due to the limitation of time. The first topic is when we discussed chapter 2 of Language Teaching Research of Language Pedagogy by Rod Ellis. Prof Milambiling started the discussion by drawing the class attention to the distinction between formal and practitioner research. In my opinion, most of the cases that formal research does not really contribute to the improvement of teaching ESL in the practice. The motives of conducting such research are mostly for personal interest as they want to write their theses or research that will support their career. This motive will affect to the topic they choose which will likely based on their needs not based on the real problems in the class. I have been teaching English for Secondary school for six years. Some researchers or graduate students visited my class to conduct their research with the topic that I didn’t find useful for me as a practitioner. They developed such
On October 27, 2016, we met to obtain clarification on your work destinations and work performed on the day prior.
I started the week in Ortho Colorado on Monday. I cleaned beds and rooms and made sure the rooms were stocked. I printed off the next days schedule and wrote it on the board. I also made patient charts for Thursday and Friday. I was in the Breast Center on Tuesday, which was my first time interning there. I shadowed a women named Jess who showed me around and she showed me what I would be doing. On Wednesday and Saturday, I was in the PACU and it was busy. I ran around and got anything the nurses needed and restocked bays.
In last week's journal entry I stated that this week PVEPD would be conducting active shooter training, but the training is postponed for now. During this week’s shifts, I finished the putting together the emergency operation plan binders, cleaned the briefing room, and went to the department’s shooting range where I had the opportunity to shoot AR-15 and a Glock 22. I spent both Monday and Tuesday’s shift at the shooting in the basement of the police department. The shooting range which is located underneath the department and can be accessed through the parking garage. There are two rooms in the basement one room is storage for the gun range and the other room is the actually shooting range. Each room requires a special type of key and passcode
On Friday 12/16/2016 at about 0135 hours, Security Staff was dispatched to the Special Care Unit, ED. room #37 for a code (51D) Disorderly Patient in E.D. Security Officers Miguel Pagan, Corey Rithchie, Omar Alonso, and Supervisor Steven Evans arrived at 0136 hours and met with Patient Care Tech Cathy Negron who was standing just outside of the patient's room. We observed, the patient, Krystal FernandezRivera (DOB: 09/15/65 - FIN #86594670) in her bed inside the room talking to her Nurse, Cindy Rodriguez, who was attempting to get the patient to change into a blue scrub Hospital gown. Nurse Rodriguez walked outside the room and informed us that the patient had been Baker Acted by ER Doctors and she refused to hand over her belongings and changed
The quiz was fairly easy. I read though the documents a couple of times and I managed to get a 19/20. We did get a couple of extra days to study due to snow days and delays. This was in terms of support was somewhat slow. Most of the problems were just as simple as a force shutdown. Also, I helped Mrs. Chase startup the desktops for the PLTW rooms as well as getting the serial numbers off each laptop in the vault.
Dear journal, today in class I did a multiple choice on the Ethics of Research. I learnt so much from that activity from protecting participants from harm to inform consent. I have erudite that ethical considerations are a significant feature of research that all teacher researcher should be knowledgeable about. During class, the first thought came to my mind about ethics was rules for distinguishing right or wrong. According to Resnik (2015) he believes that Ethics is a norm that distinguish between what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. I think it is imperative for me to adhere to the ethical norms in research in which i will have Informed consent to avoid deception, confidentiality, anonymity, protecting an individual from harm.
In the first Reflection, describe an event or an experience in your life that will influence your academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University.
This concludes my second week’s internship at Knorr Brake Company LLC. I have accumulated 40 hours between Monday May 18th and Friday May 22th, each day of the workweek I worked eight hours.
On Monday, I was in Ortho and helped with patient charting. On Tuesday, I gave patients the paperwork they had to fill out and got them ready for their mammograms. On Wednesday and Saturday, I stocked bays in the PACU and helped the nurses with anything they needed. On Saturday I also got to see an Ex Lap procedure and on Wednesday, I got to see an anesthesiologist put a block into a patient.
This week placement is a bit boring. We don’t have much to do, but regardless we had one workshop about Second Career. I helped the other staff that facilitated the workshop in doing it. It was informative as it tells and gives clients what they need to know about it. Also, helped them understand who is eligible for Second Career. At the end of the workshop, clients had group’s discussion about the workshop. I was asked to supervise the group discussions where every members of each group were able to discus among themselves what they learned.
Individual was open and responsive throughout the counseling session. Individual answered questions asked by the clinician. Aby stated she was feeling fine but kind of tired because she wasn't sleeping well. However, Ind stated she had no depressed feeling during last week. Ind was a little hyper verbal probably because she was very excited about the theatrical activities that she has been involved lately. One of them was like a 5 minutes free topic monologue. Ind shared she felt confident while doing it. Ind disclosed the name of her presentation was "No shame". Aby disclosed she invited her father and stepmom what represents a big step and her openness toward the improvement of their relation. Ind also shared that she was really excited because
As a student, I have always appreciated the challenge of coming up with words that truly express how I feel. Like a game, I play around with letters that are uniquely bonded to form words. From words to sentences to paragraphs, I have successfully written an essay. Yet, I feel like there is a missing piece, and if found I believe it would fit perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle. The missing piece defines the separation between great and good, and that is exactly what I found in ENGL 101. By using this opportunity to grow, I am prepared for the challenging topics in ENGL 102. One main progress is the change in my attitude. Changing my attitude not only changes the way I thought about the characters, but also the
An event that will influence my academic work and goals at CCU will be my Aspiring Missionary class and Missionary training that I am currently going through both at my church Saints Community Church of God in Christ and through our local jurisdiction the Fresno Metropolitan and later our state jurisdiction NorCal. My training starts with our Aspiring Missionary class which meet every second Saturday of each month for two years starting in February through October. During our classes we are required to study our lessons and be prepared to take at on our next meeting. At this level we have to know the background of the church, the church doctrine and history and structure of the church. Through this training I am

The definitions of reflection are countless (Harrington et al. 1996). According to Dewey (1933) reflection starts with ‘a state of uncertainty, hesitancy, perplexity’ (Dewey, 1933). Reflective practice is an iterative method, constantly repeating the sequences of examining, adjusting, and reflecting on practice, before repeating the method all over again (Grushka et al. 2005).
