The role that I would play in a community of learner would not just be one role. I would take on multiple roles. I would take on the role of the learner, the supporter, and the individual achiever.

In a community of learners people have a variety of values, backgrounds and beliefs that can give them a different view on certain topics. As the learner I would take the time to engage in
The plan that I have for my future isn’t a very clear one and I’m still trying to figure out what I want to major in and do with my life. If I were take on the health care path as a profession I think I would want to be an anesthesiologist the most. Towards the end of last semester I was thinking about nursing because of all the different people I knew that were in it and how much they liked it. While talking to my parents about it they also thought that it would be a good fit for me and that I should
I feel that to best understand and help struggling students, it’s important to understand the process of learning and theories behind it. “A child’s ability to learn depends on the child’s current maturational status” (Lerner & Johns, 2015, p. 131). Developmentally, “each individual has a preset rate of growth for various human functions, including cognitive abilities” (Lerner & Johns, 2015, p. 131). Various abilities mature at different rates, however, there are certain milestones that children

Warren Buffett once said, “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” Throughout the first years of highschool, I searched for that seed, the seed that would secure me a prominent future. A future where I would be enjoying the fruits of my previous labor. I went on a quest towards finding the perfect career that I would enjoy for a lifetime. Though it was tough, I managed to find my calling sixteen years into my life. A career in business suits me because
Active learning strategies consist of a large and different variety of activities that share the common factors of involving students in thinking about the knowledge and information they are doing (Bonwell & Eison 1991). These strategies are used to engage students in critical thinking, communication with peers, expressing ideas, exploring their own attitudes and values, giving and receiving feedback, and reflecting on the learning process. These strategies are done with the students inside or outside

Learning is defined only in the classroom, children learn every second of every day regardless in and out of the classroom. Every individual is unique and each child has different learning styles, some are able to learn at a desk whilst others learn through doing, it is a teacher’s job to know of these styles
My technology exploration had to do with money. Money is something that students are going to use in their daily lives, and so it is essential that they understand what each coin or bill represents. My activity has three parts, how much money, paying exact amount, and making a dollar bill. How much money is simply adding up all the bills and coins that are there. If the wrong answer is put, it will tell the student that there is either too much, or not enough, and the student has as many tries
During the time I’ve had to do this project I have come upon many interesting things that involve concussions. In my project I have researched what a concussion is, what the symptoms are, how more then one can affect you, and how you can receive them in different sports. On the right side of my trifold the section named “By the Sport” will show current research as to how and why concussions occur in various sports, how to prevent them, and finally what positions sustain the the most concussions in
