While I currently could not describe how The 4 Way Test has guided how I run my business, The 4 Way Test has aligned with my personal morals/ethics and has been prevalent in my personal life and activities. Over the past four years of high school I’ve been involved with the show choir and the four way test has help guide me through my four years especially this year as the co-president. When I was required to make decision I had to think what was the best for the group. For example as we got closer to our show one of our songs with not ready to be performed and it came time that we had to cut the song from the show even though I personally loved the song. It was the truth that the song was simply not ready, it was fair to all as we all did not know our …show more content…
parts from memory, it built better friendship because it showed the show choir I cared about the group and had to do what was best, and it was beneficial as it allowed us to work on other things. The 4 Way Test has been an easy guiding live by and follow as I consider myself to have good morals to begin with and it corresponds with the Scout Law which I live by due to my experience as a Boy Scout.
I will hopefully be earning my Eagle Scout very soon. For two years I served as the Senior Patrol leader who was in charge of the troop and The 4 Way test helped guide me through. A scout is trustworthy, so I do my best to always tell the truth. As senior patrol leader I could sign off on advancement requirements. I had to tell truth and only sign off on requirements that were truly done, so I couldn’t lie and help my friends. A scout obedient meaning I had to be fair to everyone and obey all rules, so I was fair to all and gave everyone the same treatment and only signed off on a requirement when I felt they had completed it. A scout is friendly so I always act in goodwill of the other scouts. I worked with younger scouts so they could complete requirements and rise in their ranks building friendships with them along the way. Finally, a scout is courteous meaning I treated everyone with respect regardless of any factors such as age. Which was beneficial to all as it provided a pleasant scouting experience to
all. As I live with The 4 Way Test as a guide currently; I hope to continue this way in the future. When singing for the rotary club for the past four years I was able to talk to many wonderful people that serve as role models of what I would like to grow up to be. I hope to one day be a doctor owning my own practice is Point Pleasant. In which I can run my business/practice with The 4 Way Test to guide me in running a thriving practice.

Scout and tenderfoot ranks are the ranks that teach you the most basic of scout skills through the form of visual demonstration by an older scout in the troop. It also teaches the qualities of a scout law and the oath. The scout law, A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. These attributes are what you should demonstrate in everyday life, and the scout oath says to help people whenever it’s needed. These skills and attributes will help you in earning your second and first class ranks.
I am Jacob Heeter, member of Troop 56, from Knox, PA. I did my Eagle Scout Project making a handicap accessible walkway from the road to the building at Camp Coffman, Cranberry, PA. I have many ambitions after becoming an Eagle Scout, based around short term goals, after graduation, and career choices.
A Scout is Considerate - If I’m having an argument with someone, I do not say things to offend them too much.
The functional assessment is how the family interacts with one another. This part of the assessment is divided into two subcategories; instrumental and expressive functioning.
It’s an age-old question. Do standardized tests really show what students know? Some may think they are a great way to measure education and others may think that one test does not justify a child’s knowledge. What is this test exactly? A standardized test is any test that requires all test takers to answer the same questions, or a selection of questions from a common bank of questions, in the same way. They are used to “judge” or “measure” the knowledge or skills that students learn in school. The problem with these standardized tests is that they measure all students on the same material, leaving out special skills the student may have. It also puts a great deal of stress on a student to know that they will be timed on these questions that
Has your kid or if you are a student, gotten great grades on most test but then just bombed one test? It might not be because they don’t understand it, the student may not know it but they are just not a good test taker, they had a bad day, panicked in the test, the test was not the right level or something happened at home. The New York Times says “It is entirely possible for students to fail tests on such topics and still have, the mathematical abilities or historical knowledge we want.” If the child still has the abilities then why should you take that one test so seriously that their grade goes down? It could have been just because they were nervous at the time. According to education researcher Gregory J. Cizek, anecdotes abound "illustrating how testing... produces gripping anxiety in even the brightest students, and makes young children vomit or cry, or both." This happens so much in Sacramento Bee that teachers are trained to clean vomit off of a test.
The last challenge that a beginning teacher may face is designing appropriate assessment to assess students’ critical reasoning. It is not easy to assess students’ critical reasoning as it is not just about having the knowledge of critical reasoning. Willingham (2007) states that “knowing that one should think critically is not the same as being to do” (p. 13). The teacher may be able teach the students critical reasoning and the students are aware of it but without the right assessment, it is hard to know if the students have actually acquired critical reasoning.
“Sometimes the most brilliant and intelligent students do not shine in standardized tests because they do not have standardized minds.” This quote by Diane Ravitch really sums up what is wrong with tests like the ACT, SAT, and other standardized test. Many students do not have the spare time between other schoolwork and activities. For students who have to take these standardized tests, it takes away time to study from school, many can not work well around the numerous activities that they have going on, and it causes stress that you will not be good enough for a college education.
For as long as I can remember, it has been expected of me to earn the Boy Scout rank of Eagle Scout. My Dad might mention it in passing at the dinner table, or one of my uncles would ask 6 year old me when I was going to start working on my project. My Dad and his two brothers are Eagle Scouts, so, as the oldest son, I was naturally the next in line.
You walk into school and you’re calm and relaxed feeling okay and ready to do the work in school. Once you walk into your english class you find out the class has to take a test, multiple choice and a few short answers. Once you hear that, your heart starts racing, you get shaky and you’re nervous. You suddenly forget everything you’ve known on the topic that the standardized test is on. You sit in your seat, waiting for the test to be handed to you, thinking if it’ll be too difficult or a piece of cake. Your teacher hands out the tests to the class and announces: “Okay everyone! This test is counted as a big grade and will let me know if you’ve been paying attention all these months. Do your best! You may begin.” The moment that is said you hope to do well so that you won’t fail and are more nervous than you were when you first started, and that’s how you begin and end your test.
1. The Principle of Justice: a test ought to be fair to test takers (sub-principle 1: a test ought to have comparable construct validity of score interpretations and deci¬sions; sub-principle 2: a test ought not to be biased in terms of construct-irrelevant matters); and
In the world of education, assessments play an integral role in student learning. To get the most out of assessments, they must be aligned with the standards, accurately measure what students know, as well as promote student learning (McTighe and O’Connor, 2005). In order to do this, it is important to include students in the assessment planning process. This should begin at the beginning of a unit with the pre-assessment and should be carried throughout the formative and summative assessments. Dr. Anne Davies believes that “when students are involved in the assessment process, they are more engaged and motivated, and they learn more” (Davies, 2007, p. 31). In my interdisciplinary unit, I attempt to include students in every stage of the assessments
I learned to live my life by the Scout Motto: “Be Prepared.” and by living the Scout Oath. On my honor- as a Scout, I must, above all, be honorable in what I say and do. I will do my best- I’m not influenced by peer pressure or what other people do. I strive to do my best in everything you set out to do. To do my duty to God and my country- I live to know, love and serve God by respecting and following his teachings and wisdom. I honor my country by learning its heritage a being involved in the community and learning about it and about the nation I live in. And to obey the Scout Law- they are twelve of these. Trustworthy, Loyal, Healpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. When I obey the Scout Law, I think people will respect the way I live, and I will respect myself. To help other people at all times - There were times I helped fellow scouts to build a fire, or show them how to do some knot tying. I also helped out with preparing meals for the homeless at the Salvation Army during the holidays. I tried to help out whenever possible, doing something for my troop and community. To keep myself physically
