Recommended: The importance of feedback to students

I hope that you had a relaxing and restful winter break! I will continue to supply you with reminders of the lessons and activities that will take place during Advisement; hopefully you find these reminders helpful rather than burdensome. This week is a very short week and you should use this time to become reacquainted with your Advisement students. I have listed topics for discussion for Wednesday-Friday, but if you have an alternate activity that you would like to do, please feel free to do that lesson instead. Wednesday: Allow students to tell you about their winter break. You may even want to share what your break was like. Thursday: Ask students if they have any questions about this semester. Have them write a reflection about

  • Spring Break

    1392 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is not much to do during spring break in Smallville except for going out and making your own fun. Now what I mean by that is you can have good fun. For example, you can go bowling, have a party or just chill out with your friends. Then there is bad fun. For example, go egging or buy paintball guns and shoot stuff. My friends and I decided to have bad fun for spring break. When we first started egging it was only six of us. Earl, David, Charles, Brandon, Jerrid, and myself. As the first couple of days went by we realized that other people in the city was starting to form teams of their own to get us back for egging them. Let me tell you a little bit about my crew. Earl is my right hand man. He was giving the nickname cruel intentions for a reason. David is my best friend. He is a cool, laid back type of guy. Charles is my cousin. If u see David, Charles, and I at once people would think we was all brothers. Charles can be quiet sometimes but he also has a wild side to him. Brandon is my other cousin. He is the live wire out of the bunch. Brandon is pretty much ready for anything. If its fun he will join. Jerrid says one word about once every ten minutes. But his action speak louder than words. And then there is me. I go by the name Marcus. Some of my friends in Springfield call me Marc-d or mc. I am a quiet, laid back, live wire type of guy.

  • Linda Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka

    Finally, for homework I would assign the reading of excerpts of “Warriors Don’t Cry”, the memoir of Melba Pattillo Beals, one of the Little Rock Nine. I would ask the students to pretend that they were a student at Central High in 1957 and write a page long diary entry about what one would be seeing and how one would be feeling at this time. All of these activities would promote student-centered learning in that they are free to arrive at their conclusions independently, and they would help develop Formal Operational skills through hypothetical deductive logic.

As I reflect on the years learning, I could not be more excited about what is to come next.

  • Contemporary American Culture and Materialism

    866 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have learned many valuable things in contemporary American culture, and this class has enabled me to view our world in a different light. I now know that advertisements try to make me believe they can sell me love and happiness. I now understand that a simpler life can bring me far greater joy than any item I buy in a store. Americans should not be ignorant to factors that affect their daily lives. Over the Thanksgiving holiday break I thought about what was really important in my life surrounded by friends and family, and I truly believe that nothing else in this world could compare with my relationship with my family.

    Additionally, on Wednesday, I am a mentor for my third grade buddy! Two weeks ago, we began the year with the annual Ice Cream Social at the students’ schools. This social is exciting because the students and mentors are able to meet for the first time or are able to reunite if the students are returners. The mentors have the chance to meet the guardians or family members of the students as well! As a general manager, I had the chance to meet all 15 of the students who will be in my buddy family on Mondays. Also, I took the time to introduce myself to all of the students’ guardians and learn something about each student!

  • The Six Assumptions of Adult Learning

    1344 Words  | 3 Pages

    As an adult learner who was formally an early elementary teacher, my least favorite time of year is the week before school starts back for the new school year. The first week of school is always a rush and a buzz of excitement and nerves. However, it is the week leading up to that first week, that for me, as an educator was a week I dreaded to see. That week was always full of seminars, district wide meetings, and school wide meetings most of which were conducted by an outsider or consultant that had not worked in the district or school but was hired to advise on new practices or principles. Every year it was the same story, same situation, and same routine. On the day we had the district wide meeting, all of the f...

  • Clinical Psychology Reflection Paper

    1505 Words  | 4 Pages

    The concept that we discussed throughout the semester that was most surprising to me was that of meditation. Coming into this class, I had a biased view of meditation. As a senior in high school, one of my teachers used to make us meditate every Friday for an hour during her class. As seniors, stressed about college applications and lack of sleep, we all thought that this was the perfect opportunity to take a nap during the school day. From my experiences with meditation in that class, I really didn’t believe that meditation was helpful in any way or served a purpose. After taking this class, however, I now understand that meditation is more than just sitting in one position for long periods of time.
