This task should be fun and interesting for the students. It is my hope that this activity proves to be successful for my students and helps them to understand the necessary learning objectives set forth.
Zoe is a very great attentive student. She is a student whoholds a lot of valuable pronciples from her Haitian-Cuabn culture. The monment she enters the building she greets people with respect. She always says good morning and refers to all staff and her peers by their name. Zoe always comes to school in a positive attitude. I have yet to see her upset which allows me to believe she is good in toning her emotions or personal life outside of school grounds. Outside of school she is always busy between homework, family and tutoring at the SCO Family Services program in Downtown, Brooklyn. By the end of her long day she is exhausted but yet a smile is always on her face giving no sinces of anger or worries.if I was to describe Zoe’s emotional tone or color it would be lavender. She is calm, soothing to me around but ye keps firm.she had a bright future a head of her. Between the classes I have observed her in she is always energetic, cheerful and strong minded. She is excited in theatre class showing off her acting skills and in Spanish class she is attentive when doing her Spanish class work.
I consider my care staff to be my patient care coordinators, treatment coordinators, and assistants. Doctor’s and Hygienists also need to be meet with to understand their philosophy and what I can do as a Manager to make there day run as smooth as possible. As a leader the staff needs to understand my philosophy, their expectations of other and what I would expect of them short and long term. Further 1:1 meetings in the following 30 days would be set up to further address after observation is completed.
She would express to the client that they were a few minutes behind and would be getting them in shortly when a room became available. She was honest and upfront which created an open environment. The TA also showed the quality of reliability. She would perform duties as delegated without hesitation, her team could count on her. Electrotherapy was needing to be set up, the
The environment at ATI was a family environment. Each client has a one hour scheduled appointment at the clinic. However, they will not work with the same physical therapist for the entire hour most of the time. Each physical therapist will pass on their client to another physical therapist or physical therapist aid whenever it was needed. This showed a family vibe because the clients got to work with multiple therapists in one session and each physical therapist has their own unique look and take on rehabilitation. Furthermore, this was an engaging and friendly environment for the employees at ATI because whenever there was help
I will split this essay into two parts. Firstly, I will describe to the reader the product of my research, including the main ethnography itself and also the way in which I arrived at the conclusions I did. Secondly, I will critically analyse the process I undertook to gain my data. This will include reflecting on dilemmas such as ethics, choice of field site and other issues that I encountered whilst carrying out my research.
My earlier understanding of the OT profession wasn’t exactly clear. I hadn’t heard many people talk about it and I never knew anyone who was an OT until recently. When comparing physical therapy and occupational therapy, physical therapy seems to be the more popular profession. Members of my family have had physical therapy and I assumed occupational therapy was mostly the same or close to it. After shadowing two out-patient clinics and taking a class at U of M- Flint about different jobs, I quickly realized that OT was quite different. Obviously, I still don’t know everything OT and OTAs do, but I am eager to learn more about this profession.
Healthcare professionals in the medical office should be friendly and open. Patients entering the medical office should be greeted immediately with a smile and having a gentle touch also let the patient know you care. “Healthcare professionals in a medical office are held to a higher standard than most professions because they are dealing with the dignity of patients and the ability to be healed” (Wolff). Educating the staff to be professional in the medical office represents the office as being excellent in patient care. Patient-centered care success is required by the whole office which is treatment and patient experience, from the time they enter the office until they leave.
Fieldwork is important to anthropologists in order to understand cultures different from their own. It combines theory and ethnography and involves 'questions', 'assumptions', 'methods' and 'evidence' (Barnard, 2000). According to Jenkins (1994) fieldwork is an effective way to gain knowledge, while using qualitative and quantitative methods that allow the researcher to identify principal actors, behaviors, local explanations, use of language, values, stories and myths. However, one may face some challenges in the field, including resistance to outsider's presence, rapid changes in policies, violence, strikes, misunderstandings, cultural shocks, among others (LeCompte and Schensul 2010). Thus, being open, perceptive, flexible and objective the anthropologist could build trust and confidence, two essential values to open doors
Although this has been shortly covered in a previous essay, I thought it necessary to explain this experience further: my time as a research assistant at Clemson’s DICE (Data Intensive Computing Environments) lab. This experience has been one of the biggest in my life and quite possibly the one singular experience that concretes my decision to go into computers. Starting in April of 2016 with an offhand question about if I wanted to work on something with my stepdad on computers during the summer, I practically jumped at the chance. After the end of the school year, things began to pick up. I was invited to the lab that my stepdad works in (DICE Lab) to work with him on this project, which was a great honor in and of itself.
1. How were you first introduced to CS? How have you continued to develop your technical skills and seek additional exposure to the field? - I would say my first introduction to CS was in high school. I have always loved messing with computer ever since I was little.
I have been able to observe and learn from my collaborative teacher and paraprofessional on how to manage a classroom and keep a positive learning environment.
We must have the correct mind-set. We believe our students can learn; have high expectations; are willing to give extra help; find ways to make
My cooperating teacher has been employed in the field of education for 19 plus years. She has been in her current position as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher at the Lighthouse Learning Center for 12 years. Observing a teacher who has so many years of experience in the classroom is very beneficial. She shared with me this week her teaching philosophy that has evolved from her many years in the classroom. The components of her philosophy include a focus on people, strategies, and tools.
After showing her around, we went to one of our conference rooms. I explained the structure of our school before moving to one of our classrooms. I explained that our school is set on the instructional pyramid with four elements all interconnected, teacher, space, student and content. Our students, teachers and administrators are engaged on a daily basis and this is not only done at the classroom level but also due to the structure of the school, where we believe “education is designed and to design is education”. The students work is always on interactive display. Through the support of
