Recommended: Strengths and weaknesses of accountability

San Jacinto College's values impact the decisions I make on a regular basis. I hold myself accountable to make sure I stay true to each and every one them.

Integrity/Accountability:

All values build upon each other however, in my personal opinion, I strongly believe that integrity and accountability are the foundation for all. You cannot live up to any of the other values, if you do not act with honesty and if you are not willing to acknowledge and assume responsibility of your actions. With integrity and accountability, you build trust. I am transparent with the decisions I make and assume responsibility of my actions and that of my team. I own up to my mistakes and learn from the experiences. For example, every week each food market submits …show more content…

I have been fortunate to work with a lot of individuals in the past nine months. For example, Adventures in STEM/MindTrekkers 2018 was a big collaboration team among San Jacinto College, our local ISDs, and our Industry Partners. This initiative brought together over 611 SJC employees/students and many industry partner volunteers. With collaboration, we are able to create initiatives that have a positive impact on our students and the community. MindTrekkers gave our SJC students the opportunity to be teachers for the visiting sixth graders and allowed them to practice their interpersonal skills as a way of ensuring their success. This event also allowed staff to interact with the community, Moreover, we made an impact on 4,600 sixth grade students and over 400 community members who were able to experience 100 science …show more content…

I set high standards for myself and my team and commit to work as hard as we can to fulfill our commitments. For example, these past months have been challenging with at the Food Scholarship Markets with various delivery issues. My team and I have committed to do all it takes to make sure our SJC students get all the food possible. For us this means taking redeliveries to ensure we can offer them as many products as well possible. It also. means opening and staying after hours of operation.

Innovation:

Achieving excellence requires being open to new ideas in order to improve the changing needs of the individuals we serve directly or indirectly. Last fall, the Dow Chemical Foundation awarded San Jacinto College a grant to give nine middle schools in our district a kit with 11 different science experiments. As we all know, Harvey caused a lot of damage in our area. This grant allowed us to help the most impacted schools with an innovative way of teaching science to their students with a more hands on approach. Based on the feedback, teachers have incorporated these experiments in their lesson plans.

  • Ethical Ethics In Accounting

    1216 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ethic is defined as a set of moral principles or values, a theory of system of moral values, the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group. In all its form, ethics deals with what is good and bad, and with moral duty and obligation. Hence, ethics is either a set of principles held by an individual or group, or the discipline that studies the set of principles (Duska, Duska, & Ragatz, 2011). Ethical theories provide principles that can be useful when solving dilemmas whereas business ethics refers to the ethical values that determine the interaction between a company and its stakeholders. The three major approaches in normative ethics identified are virtue ethics, deontological and utilitarianism (Kraut, 2012), but in this paper the focus is on the two major one proposed for the accounting profession – deontology and utilitarianism.

This environment spread beyond the students and also included the faculty and speakers. We had access to incredible faculty who were able to give much to the experience and share their own science insights. The program also brought in speakers and other science professionals from around the world who were at the top of their respective fields.

  • Integrity

    Integrity is an idea that has been discussed by individuals with a verbal acuity far beyond anything I could ever hope for. With that in mind, I will not delve deeply or poetically into what integrity is or should mean. However, I will simplify the meaning of integrity; at the core, integrity boils down to doing what is right even if nobody is watching. See a piece of trash on the ground and nobody is around...pick it up. Driving down the road with no cops in sight...drive the speed limit. Arrive at a tollbooth and no attendant is working…pay the toll. An applicant is not readily available to sign a form for enlistment…track them down and ensure they sign it. I could write examples until infinity becomes paltry in comparison, yet I am sure I have made my point clearly; the greater good must be upheld regardless of who is there to ensure it is happening. It seems obvious that integrity should be a trait every individual is hardwired with from birth. However, integrity is a thankless trait; nobody is around after all. An individual cannot expect someone to clap, to smile, to thank them, to do anything actually. By definition, integrity should be something that is followed through with simply because an individual wishes to do what is correct, not because they expect accolades of any sort.

    To prosper as individuals, it is essential to control a sense of honesty, in simple hopes of maintaining humane, respectable standards and boundaries. This honesty, however, is often asked of extension, now presumed to mature into a component well known as integrity. Learning, consequently, is inhabited through these expectations of strict dedication and independence. And although learning is accomplished abundantly, there is only a certain extent of upholding this righteous behavior. Though teachers, bosses, parents, or companions may be satisfied with the efforts of their lesser, they fail to realize that the request of integrity has not been fulfilled. Integrity, being the unflawed ability to completely dedicate one’s personally believed morals is a specific, well-rounded trait, difficult to be entirely possessed by a faulty being.

  • Ethics And Integrity Essay

    1104 Words  | 3 Pages

    The term “ethics” refers to an external set of rules that have been established by an institution or organization, for example, a university, and the members are expected to follow them. On the other hand, integrity refers to an individuals’ internal set of principles that guides their actions and behavior (Czimbal and Brooks n.p.). As a rule, people are usually rewarded when they follow ethical codes of conduct by an external committee or board that monitors their behavior. For a person of high integrity, the benefits are usually intrinsic. Moreover, such individuals always make the right decisions even when they are not being watched. Therefore, this feature of character is often influenced by a person’s upbringing. In

    Academic integrity has been a major concern among many colleges and universities across the world. Many people may ask the question: what is academic integrity? University of Missouri’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (n.d.) states, “Academic integrity is the core set of values and principles that underwrites the very mission of the University itself; integrity, honesty, hard work, and the determination to translate personal and professional principles into behavior.” Some also may view academic integrity as the act of sustaining honest and rightful behavior in an academic setting that avoids, prevent and provide disciplinary actions for those who commits academic dishonesty, plagiarism and cheating of any kind.

    Honesty and integrity are very important in the medical field. We as healthcare workers are given such trust and responsibility. We should always strive to do our best and when faced with tough situations. When we don't always know what to do or the proper way to react we should always be honest. Let our superiors know what is going on and ask for advice when we need to. This would show that we are honest. When we come into contact with patients they rely on us to do the right thing and always perform our job with integrity. Often people’s lives are in our hands. We have to care about the patient and care about our job in order to continue to provide quality care. If someone hates their job they are not going to give their best in every way they can. The medical field is not a place for that person.

    This class has opened my mind to the incredible impact that STEM Education can have on our society. I do not work in an institution that has a STEM program. I work at a preschool; this makes my practice of any type of STEM program extremely limited. However, it is a private school. All my students come from households where one or both of their parents are professionals. These professionals want their children to be academically prepared for school. This means we must academically, mentally, and emotionally prepare them for their future schooling. I teach my students how to be a functioning participant in a classroom while exploring mathematics, science, art, history, literature and pre-writing. Puzzles, counting, shapes, measuring, etc. are on the daily agenda. Science is a huge part of our curriculum. Science in the
