Duty Night Reflection I completed my duty night on October 22nd, which was also concurrent with the wild and extremely entertaining Penn State vs. Ohio State football game. I arrived at 7:45pm at Brill hall where I met with Cheryl and Mitchell, who were the two RA’s I would be accompanied with for the evening. They discussed why two RA’s are on duty (football game); the times we would be rounding, and retrieved the “Duty Bag” from the residence office in Brill. We began the first round at 8:30pm and made our way through Curry, Harris, Miller, Nelson, Panofsky, Young, and Brill hall. We traveled through the “pods” on one floor, to buildings with four floors. As we maneuvered our ways through the floors, Cheryl and Mitchel explained to me the …show more content…
We first discussed at 3 rounds are done on Fridays and the weekends, with the times being chosen by the RA at Eastview. Then Cheryl, discussed the RA’s general responsibilities when rounding each floor: changing the pin, examining fire extinguishers, responding to calls, referring those who commit violations, and in general maintaining a safe environment. For instance, one can round at 8:30 pm, 10:30 PM, and 1:00 am. During this time the RA on duty must not leave the building, and must always have the RA phone with them. Additionally, during the 1st round the RA is responsible to switch the Pin on the “Who’s on Duty?” in order to notify residents of the RA on duty for the night. Also, on duty with the RA is a residence life coordinator; this is the individual you first call if there is an emergency. However, after the emergency has past or once you have called 911 you must notify the residence life coordinator. More specifically, the coordinator on duty can be contacted by using the RA phone. The next day the RA must notify the coordinator of what happened, where incidents occurred, and the consequence of these occurrences. Examples of situations I was given of when to call the coordinator on duty was for alcohol cases, marijuana, and major events. Likewise, if any problems arise with housing or maintenance, you should notify the coordinator on duty. On the other hand, the police should be called in emergency cases in which a resident or other residents are in danger or illegal activity is being done like marijuana use or if someone is excessive alcohol consumption. Also, I was told you may call 911 but the local Penn State police number is quicker. Next demonstrated to me was the “incident report”; included in it is the students PSU ID, time the incident occurred, whether a minor was involved, description of incident. Additionally, the
A teacher’s most important duty is to protect the students they are in charge of. This duty includes both reasonably protecting students from harm and, when a student is harmed, reporting it to the proper authorities (Gooden, Eckes, Mead, McNeal, & Torres, 2013, pp. 103-109). There have been many court cases that reiterate this duty of school staff. One such case is Frugis v. Bracigliano (2003) where many staff at a school failed in their duty to protect students and allowed abuse to continue for years.
The building was arranged with the bar, kitchen, dart room along with offices and storage on the east end of the building. The showroom and sunroom area comprise the west. There are four exits. The front door was only accessible through a corridor partially occluded by a small ticket booth and another 36 inch wide doorway in the middle of the corridor. This becomes a critical chokepoint when the fire breaks out.

My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
Police officers are armed and have received extensive training to handle the school-based legal issues. City police authority assigned police based on a geographic location of schools rather than on the need and the history of school violence (Theriot 2016:452). The officers were responding to provide education on the law and discipline to students and staff. The study explains that the officers received specialized training on how to deal with youth development in a positive way, emergency, public speaking, and counseling (Theriot
This is how long we anticipated the arrival of the state-qualifying competition in Delta. Soon, after we could do no more to make things perfect, the thought of beating Paonia and winning a place at state actually became a reality, so real that you could take it, throw it on the ground, and march it right in to the dirt. There was no parade this go-around, but our inspection was superb. Inspection is where our band must stand at attention while Air Force and Army officials, usually recruiters from around the area, try to cheaply make you break your
Ever since I was little I remember playing games where I would fight the bad guy and win the girl in the end. This never seem to affect me or make me wonder what small effect it had on my thought process. In games such as Zelda, call of duty, assassin creed, gears of war, Mario, and even halo you play as a white heterosexual male. The idea of playing this way never seemed to phase me as a young child. As I grew up and became more aware of the difference of people and the need for other as well as myself a need to be able to connect and find one 's self in different place such as games, movies, and TV shows. I became aware of the one sided views that video games seem to have. Then I realized that it was seen as acceptable to only have the one sided displayed due to the lack of speaking out on the need for change.

In this “Digital Age” that we currently live in, it becomes very easy for an individual to become infatuated with the amount of social media outlets available on the internet. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat all revolve around the idea of showcasing one’s personal life for the sake of receiving positive feedback or attention by peers and strangers from the outside world. An episode of the Netflix sci-fi anthology series, “Black Mirror,” decides to tackle this topic in a surreal yet imaginative way. The episode in particular, “Nosedive,” investigates a hypothetical future or alternate universe where social media profiles and star ratings have become the norm. The plot revolves around a young lady named Lacie, who
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
