I appreciate the time that you took in emailing me to inform me you were my son Shay's principal. I left a voice message and sent an email to you on 5/16/2016, also I did try contacting again on 5/17/2016. Do to not being able to make contact with you yet I decided sending an email explaining the importance of needing to speak with you. Shay has been recommended for retention which I disagree with the recommendation. Therefore, speaking with I believe we will be able to find the best solution for this matter. Holding Shay back is not helping him but apunishment. Shay is entitled to a free appropriate public education, therefore if Shay is that far behind I would believe his IEP is not working and it's time to update and amend it.…
What are classroom accommodations or modifications that might assist Steve in improving tasks completion and in working with peers?…
Tom’s behavior often disrupts class. Yesterday he threw a dictionary across the room, knocked over his desk, kicked it, and began yelling obscenities at the teacher and the other students in the class (LD resource room). The teacher had to call for help from his ED resource room teacher to calm him down and safely remove him from the classroom.…
I often see him bullying his friends, pushing them break, hitting them whenever he likes and also annoying them by singing loudly in class. He is quite sensitive when someone scolds him, but he never cries. He communicates well with other students and teachers. Moreover, he enjoys Physical Education (PE) and Dance most, as he gets to be more active and he works finely in group activities. He seems to hate English and this is maybe due to the way Ms K delivers her lessons which may not be able to conducive to his kinaesthetic learning style. The majority of the students in 2C class also seem to have a kinaesthetic style. According to David Glen “Almost certainly, you were told that your instruction should match your students learning styles…Now four psychologists argue that you were told wrong. There is no strong scientific evidence to support the “matching” idea…”…
Approximately 6 six years ago, I was caught in a difficult situation involving a possible Vulnerable Adult case. As the advocate for my consumer, I felt obligated to report the suspicions that were evident. As a supervisor, I must follow protocol and the chain-of-command in the organization. I found myself between a rock and a hard place.…
Olaudah Equiano’s life as a slave was different compared to the other slave stories we have known. His experiences as a slave were actually pretty amazing. Some of his masters treated him as part of their family which was rarely to happen for a slave. In addition, he was able to go around and explore the world; but that's not it, he even purchased his own freedom. One of the bad things that I considered really changed his life was when he and his sister was abducted to sell and later on got separated from one another. This could highly affect a person’s different aspect of his or her life especially when they're close to whoever they got separated from. Equiano used that separation with his sister to keep on traveling farther from home rather…
LH has been teaching in a special education setting for the last 15 years. Until recently, she was primarily a pull-out (basic skills) classroom for remedial and supplemental instruction for various middle school students. This year, LH is in a self-contained classroom setting with four 5th grade students. These students all perform below grade level (beginning of Third grade) and fall along the Autism Spectrum. These four student are self-contained for all subjects except Social…
My RCS Capstone Experience challenged me by forcing me to speak infront of a large group of people, who have had more years of experience than I have. Also a physical challenge for I had to develope my upper body strength for the training I had to endure. Both of these things pushed me out of my confort zone, but in the long run I know they will be valuable skills for the future. I have been a volunteer at Jacobs Creek Fire Department for three years, but even with these years there is still always room for improvement. This topic is important to me because the people in my station are like family to me. I know even on my worst of days that they will always have your back. In addition being in the fire department brought me and my dad closer,…
She did not even give him a chance. I said no, and within 2-3 weeks I was invited in to meet with the teacher, support staff and principal where she apologies and informed me that- his reading scores placed him at a 1.6 grade level and, he has an overall sense of calmness and a level of confidence that is admirable. Her and I remain connected and she often share this story with…

The course I was taking was WRTG 101, taking this course helped me out a lot because it improved my writing skills a lot. When I was choosing this course I wanted to develop my ability to write in an effective way. The first hope was that the course will help me to develop my skills in different types of writing and expand my knowledge in different areas. The second hope was that the course will help me to writing full papers that make sense. Also, I hope that this course will help to understand papers written by other people and so that they are more clear to me. After completing the course, I believe that I am successful in achieving my goals of becoming a good writer. When I first started this course, my writing skills were not so good,…
Reflection allows an individual to identify the reasons or purpose of understanding the outcome of a particular situation in depth in term of emotions on thought and feeling on the topic area. In addition, Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, p.210). Therefore, I have implemented this quote in my professional and personal goals I wanted and have achieved thought-out the process of the module. I have made continues effort in building my confidence in situations that I have felt uncomfortable in.…
I can honestly say that ASI 110 has greatly affected not only my outlook on the subjects but also my writing style and consistency. The layout of the class was what made me so happy. I absolutely loved that I had the class two days a week but it was separated into two sessions throughout the say. My seminar class helped my understanding of the texts and subjects and I am forever grateful for that.…
