I have realized that there is not just one key concept that works for me. In fact I am sure that is a combination of all of them that will make me a better candidate for the business world. The two that I will use the most will have to be Unit 2, Manage your Time and Stress, and Unit 7, Goals and Planning. By learning how to manage my time and stress better will allow me to become a better part of the business community. In this manner by reducing my stress will allow me to better focus on the important aspects that need my attention. Learning how to manage my time came from the help of my family by allowing me to have time to myself to focus on my studies every day. Another great help has been the proper use my daily planner. It has been a great contribution to my success in this class. I will be using my planner for all my classes and I am also using it for work. This is a great course for me because it is the first class I have taken since graduating high school 15 years ago. The things that I learned in Unit 6, Academic Writing, will be great use for my next class which is Writing Composition. I will be taking what I have learned from this course and apply it to my next, and so on and so on. From Unit 7 came setting forth my short term and long term goals. I learned how to use the S.M.A.R.T. goal planning technique. I learned that using a series of short term goals helps me to achieve my long term goal. This works for me because if I can see progress and it is easier for me to stay on track and achieve the long term goal. So many times I have set myself a goal and never accomplished it because I could not see the progress and lost interest. There were a lot of other units that will come in use during the rest of my tenure here at Kaplan University, everything from critical thinking and research to scheduling and conducting an interview. I loved the exercises that…

This shows a different view on the ways people learn and take in certain information. Also, help me how to present certain material I want people to learn so everyone can understand the information that is being present to them. Critical thinking in career and personal situation the ability to apply, analyze, and evaluate information until a situation has an answer solution. I learn that in certain situations, we as individuals already logically think beyond the information to make judgments that some people rarely think about which are practical thinkers. This shows that we must balance our critical thinking and practical thinking and make them as one to be able to understand and come into a conversation with…
Although both of my focus students were able to achieve the learning goal, a few of my students were not. My class average, after grading their worksheets, was between a 80% or 85%. For the students that did not grasp the concept, I would bring out a hundreds chart for them to use. These charts tend to help students because they are comfortable using them. I did not initially suggest using them because I do not want my students relying on them. During the gradual release, I would ask students to come back to the carpet if they are not ready to be on their own yet. With this small group we would work through a few more problems together, again having a student coming up for each step. This will allow them extra support and guidance needed to comprehend the learning goal.…
Looking back on the course, I feel some sort of foundation experience or exposure at some point in my educator or career so far and that give me a feeling that I'm doing something right. That feeling of defeat, which we can often feel in public education, can be a heavy burden. Then for me, leaving a feeling that I don't know what I'm doing. As we moved through the chapters of the book, I had many moments thinking to myself "Hey, I heard of that before" or "I'm doing that." This was reassuring that I do know what I'm doing and a feeling of defeat is only temporary. I think that the class strengthened my co-teaching and skills related to applied behavior analysis. Because I co-teach all period of the school day, I was especially intrigued by…

When I first arrived to Penn State Berks I believed that my first semester of college would be stressful and difficult as well as not fun compared to high school. To some extend, I was right. Since I have been to summer programs where I experienced the life as a college student, I believed I had the mindset and readiness to survive in college. Although I believe I did ok in my first semester, I knew I could have done better. Because of the procrastination habits I have since highschool, I believe the knowledge and experience I gained through the summer program went to waste. This semester became more difficult and more stressful do to the fact that I procrastinated and also because I wasn’t organized with some of my work. Luckily, I had help…
