Unit 676 Reflection

Before I began this course I thought that I was a really good writer and that I would strive in ENC 1101 with ease. I assumed this because I was always getting good grades in my previous English courses in high school. Most of my papers in high school I had got a high B or an A. But I got a big awakening when I turned in my first paper in ENC 1101. This is because I had assumed that I was going to get a good grade because I thought I had answered all the things that were listed on the rubric that you handed us. When I received my first paper back I was on the borderline tears that I had got a C. At first I did not understand what I had did wrong. After going back and looking at my teacher's comments I realized that I needed to provided more

I excited that teaching in the DPP is about to become reality. Daniel and I have enjoyed meeting everyone over the past 3 months. I know Ms. Yates preferred Monday or Tuesday evening. I am going to contact Morgan Kirkland today about April’s Class zero or setting up another meeting time. I will send any updates I get from Ms. Kirkland.

The schedule of classes will be offered for one hour on Saturday afternoons from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00p.m. at the Parma site, Tuesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the May Dugan Center, and Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Westlake location. The Program Director will be based out of the May Dugan location at present during course offerings. The Assistant Site Directors will also be present at their respective locations during course times. Each class will have one Educational Aide per 10 participants for a total of 2 Education Aides per classroom. The Education Aides will be selected from a established volunteer pool provided at by the May Dugan

Throughout my high school career, I tutored students in my school district that were not able to pass the state mandated tests during the summer. Each year that the peer tutoring program was implemented, Mesquite ISD saw a rise in test scores by at least twenty percent.

Throughout this paper, I will inform you of ENC 1101 from why I’m nervous about taking this class and what is causing me to worry. I will tell you about two references from the syllabus that stood out to me and why. Last I will advise you if I’m ready for this course and if I feel I’m prepared.

This is Brielle (Junghyun) Black. I'm writing this e-mail to ask you an add code for your PLSI 200 American Politics course.

This reflection paper focuses on student learning outcome number four (current research findings regarding family and caregiver stress) and the chronic illness of bronchiectasis and its effects on the caregiver, including role stress and strain.

A few months into this program, I fell flat on my face. I had been doing well juggling the ever-growing list of assignments, until we were assigned Lab Report #1. The science concepts went over my head, resulting in false information as well as a poorly written, list-like paper with many mechanical errors and no flow. Once I received the rubric in my mailbox, I was completely devastated and disappointed in myself, this was the first time I failed. In that moment, I decided to rebound from this and not let it define my year, so I met with Mr. Mercurio and rewrote it, most of it from scratch. Recently, my rewrite appeared in my mailbox, and on it, Mr. Mercurio said, “This is a drastically improved version of your Lab Report.” Still, it

Looking back at project 3, I felt very happy with the essay I produced. I am not one to enjoy writing since I usually do not feel very confident in my writing. I felt the work I produced through project 3 was one of my best. I put a lot of effort into this essay and it showed in my final draft. With this being said, after comparing my essay to the rubric I gave myself a 3.64 overall on this project for many reasons. This essay in no means was perfect, but I learned from my strengths and weaknesses.

UIC is an incredibly diverse community with a plethora of different people across the country attending this school. However, even though UIC accepts a wide range of students from different backgrounds many have come from title 1 low income schools where they have faced adversity either because of their race or financial status. I have had an experienced with both. My family used to live in a small town near St. Louis called Collinsville, a town that consists of mainly Caucasian whites. In my school, I was 1 out of the 4 only Hispanics in the whole school. A lot of times many teachers told my parents that I wasn’t able to strive for success due to my background, that I learned Spanish instead of English first and in other subjects because my

This week I had the opportunity to purchase my EDAD 701 Education Studies Textbook for class. I felt very relieved to make this purchase because it was the last book on the shelf. During the previous weeks I made several attempts to purchase it on line but I fell short because the book would have had to been shipped from overseas and I couldn’t possible wait that long for a purchase. After I received the book I began interpreting Chapter 6 the citizenship education on black and minority communities. I haven’t concluded the chapter yet or discussed it with my partner but that process will soon be completed. From scanning the chapter I did have the opportunity to discover that this particular chapter was extremely stimulating because I could

The schedule that was made last Wednesday had to be tweaked, due to the addition of new students. The first thing that Kim did was to get the school schedule from the principal; the hourly breakdown of what grades during the school day. This did not include Kindergarten Teachers as they have not set their schedule as of last Wednesday, 3/4 of the Kindergarten Teachers are following the same schedule, and one is following a different schedule. This is the information as of today. Next, the students were grouped by grade listing what services they need to receive. The goal that Kim has this year is to not pull the students out of their math or reading instruction time and to use the DI Instruction and Language Arts for pullout instruction in the resource

In my opinion, the thriving charter schools, like the Breakthrough Charter School system, (Magaw, 2015) needs to have more reports published and distributed within the local communities. If parents saw the positive reports, and attended informational nights, they may see the need to switch their child to a charter school. I think there is still a communication gap in place that could easily be eradicated with proper planning.

I feel that I am unqualified to answer this question due to me having no experience with charter schools.

1. What was your biggest takeaway from this course? My biggest takeaway from this course was the projects. I really enjoyed creating the prezi, infographic, and the technology integration project. I learned more from actually presenting the material than I would have otherwise. I have a new respect for technology that supports student centered learning, mainly because I was able to experience it firsthand this semester.
