The past few weeks of my internship has consisted of more meetings. We have had our first School Support Staff Team meeting, which will now be held every other week. Our SPARCs group has also begun, and that will be every Thursday afternoon. SPARCs is a group of 7th grade girls that meets to learn about life skills of coping with trauma. We have also had a CFTM at the school, as well as a meeting with a potential McKinney Vento family. On top of this, I have begun to be more proactive with the school attendance. Instead of just running the reports, and sending out the 3, 6, and 10 day letters, I have started to look for trends in students. I also discovered a way to find a different kind of report through power school that can show us who
This week, I followed up with the girls who went to the activity the District offered last Friday. We talked about their goals and the things they are doing in order to meet them. I emailed the lady who did the speech and we are trying to set up a second meeting, so the girls can talk to her again. This week, I had to deal with a lot of drama with another group of girls. I believe since it is April and the school year is almost over, they are under a lot of stress and that is the reason they keep getting in trouble. Last week, the student got their grades report, so I went over their grade and we worked on the grades they need to improve. I like the fact that the students are not looking for me just because their emotional problems, but also
Moreover, internships are great starting blocks for a career. Jeff McGuire explains how in today’s educational system, schools have specialized offices and employees whose primary responsibility is to help you...
For the past three and a half weeks I have had many new experiences, moving to Washington D.C. and starting as an intern for the law firm Carmen and Muss P.L.L.C. Throughout this time I have learned quite a bit about the daily tasks of an attorney and what living and working in Washington D.C. is like. My first week I was unsure of what to expect, having never had an experience like this before now. However I quickly learned the main projects I would be focusing on and was able to relate the things I have learned in the classroom at my home school to my internship experience. There is still a lot that I have yet to discover, however, these last few weeks have been rather substantive and I have learned a lot about working in a law firm.
Throughout my high school experience, I've been able to obtain knowledge that I can use to better my life. Some of the classes I've taken have been a blessing in disguise. For example, I never expected to learn as much as I did about writing and literature by just simply reading. Many of my teachers have pushed me to my limits and inspired me to think differently from my peers. In general my best English experience was reading "MacBeth" by William Shakespeare in Mr. Elwell's class, where I also realized I had many English skills to improve on.
This week was very exciting in terms of my informational interviews and being able to work security at a music event. The informational interviews not only helped bring the classroom to the real world but also provided me with real examples to better strengthen the connection. I also learned a lot in terms of dealing with the public in a busy environment and how to most successfully defuse a situation in which alcohol and alcoholism are involved. The informational interviews I conducted between the Chief of Cleveland Police and the State Fire Marshall were both helpful in connecting the classroom to the real world. The Chief of Police was very insightful when asking him questions about the Cleveland police department.
Last night was my 1st cross country meet this year! It was VERY fun and enjoyable, except for ride there. It took more than an HOUR to arrive at the meet. My team was very thrilled and happy to participate in this 1 mile meet. The rest of my meets will be 2 miles, since I'm in Middle School. I did pretty well, just like the rest of my team. We will hopefully do just as well, if not better in one of our upcoming meets. We have 5 more we compete in, as well as a daily practice after every school day. I LOVE running cross country, it is really fun and YOU should consider trying it
I am fascinated by the shifts I am aware of as I travel further down this path. In internship, I have noticed a lot of shifting in this particular quarter. There are a lot systemic challenges I am facing, but I feel like I am in this unique spot in my counseling work. Things feel turbulent in many ways; however, I feel truly connected with my clients. I see them. It is more than being present with them. I am not quite sure how to put it into words, but there is an energy I am aware of.
My first internship here is something new for me because I am interning on campus in the Older Adult Center (OAS), and the population of students that come in for assistance is
I had a very rewarding experience with my interview. I interviewed a lady named Jody Dawson. She is a nurse educator at Mckay Dee Hospital. I learned a lot of important information about working as a public health educator at for intermountain healthcare. She explained to me that people in this position are focused on improving employee and community health. They made a bold statement about a month ago by going sugar free. They did this to make it a more healthy and healing environment. She told me that my experience working in a hospital will improve my chances of recovering a job there.
My vision for leadership in an educational setting is to be an effective leader. School Leadership: Handbook for Excellence in Student Learning identifies four core leadership behaviors associated with student learning: setting direction, developing people, leading change, and establishing managerial order.
Our first session together was all about the different learning styles and we went over the intake form together. This was the start of us building a bond and working together really as a group. I facilitated my first group two weeks later in session three. We were really working together and trusting the process and I wanted to keep that going. I wanted to pick a topic that would help us all open up even more and keep the discussion going. That is why I chose the topic on goals and had a discussion where the group would be invited to talk about all the different types of goals they have in different aspects of their lives and why goals are important to have. I feel I have accomplished that goal.
I am very interested in the administrative assistant, Sydney, Nova Scotia, position you have posted on CareerBeacon.com. I offer over 15 years of experience working in an office setting.
This semester had been quite interesting to say the least. Due to my current schedule, I was not able to achieved what I wanted to. One of my goals was to challenge myself to enhance my leadership skills. Although, I was not involved on campus as much, but I managed to showcase my leaderships skills off campus. My greatest accomplishment this semester was landing an internship position at one of the most lucrative company in palm beach. I am currently interning as software test engineer where I create and execute test cases againsts the
A first day at a new school can always be scary and nerve wrecking. Starting a new school can seem as if making new friends will be almost impossible. In the end a new school calls for new experiences and new friends.
My internship experience this semester was interesting. I interned at ESH/MESH with Bridgeway. My Supervisor was Emilie Banz. I didn’t do much but I did learn a lot from this experience. I met a lot of great people and watch PsyR in action. I met a couple of individuals who were really cool. My experience this semester has prepared me for the next.
