Recommended: Organizational theory and behavior

1. On the Summer I 2015, I took PADM 6080 Organization Theory and Behavior with 3 credits. The class had 24 students, with 4 international students as participants. The professor mentioned some assignments and we had to read 5 books for some discussion in every class meeting. We had to present a book chapter in-front of the class then we discussed it. The instructor gave opportunity to the students to deliver their input related to exam method, because this class was so compact, since we met only 12 times for 6 weeks.

    The first is, should you make exceptions to rules such as allowing someone into a course they have not met a prerequisite for if you believe they did not receive the best opportunity to meet said prerequisite. This may relate directly to me when teaching, if I am in a position to make this decision I will choose the option of benefit maximization; whichever option does the least harm. I was also made to consider through this chapter how to teach the disabled, from reading this chapter I think it is ideal to make the class as a whole succeed and more importantly grow. I will not limit opportunities for students if another disabled classmate cannot participate, especially if it is aiding in the students

    My learning experience within inter-professional was very productive. I personally learned about working in collaboration with other professionals.

  • My Observation Of The ELL Classroom

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was my pleasure to be able to experience children with these disabilities. A day spent at Westgate was aery active one, I always was able to write plenty of notes from my observation. When the English language students were peer mentored with their 4 grade class, they had to write an autobiographical poem. The fourth grade students had to help their first and second grade ELL students write this poem. When the poem is all written out the students will then type up the poem on word and create a PowerPoint. After the poem was finished they would then present the poem in front of the whole class.  This activity was pretty challenging for the fourth grade student because they had more reading and writing skills then the first and second graders. Ms. Lewis; the class teacher had to always redirect the ELL students because they did not understand what to do or what some of the questions said on the organizer. The next day I was in I was able to experience working with three students that had learning disabilities in the classroom. The teacher would separate the children in to groups, the learning disability children were paired up with me and they were given different book pages and problems to work on. Since these children were struggling in math I was able to help them comprehend. I was asked plenty of questions on how to do the problems. Usually Ms. Lewis is paired up with these students but today instead of me just observing them she wanted me to be hands on with the students and be able to interact with them. The next day I went I observe the boy with ADHD. It was very interesting to observe him. I was able to see him use assistive technologies to be able to focus. He also was seated on the outside of the desk range right by the teacher’s desk. I believe he was by the teacher’s desk and on the outside so he was

  • Self-reflection: An interviewing style evaluation

    767 Words  | 2 Pages

    A good counsellor has to engage in several basic skills of interview including attending behaviour, questioning, encouraging, paraphrasing, summarising, and reflection of feelings (Achanta, 2014). These skills are obtained through practices and supervisions. Therefore, one has to evaluate the micro skills that he or she applies in counselling sessions to gain a better insight of his or her interviewing style, strengths, and limitations. Role-play sessions are considered effective in helping counsellors to practise their micro skills in a variety of situations that they might face (Ivey & Ivey, 2007). This essay is a self-reflection of my interviewing style and the skills that I used in a role-play session which helps me to understand my own strengths and limitations in counselling.

  • Reflection On Reflective Practice

    2279 Words  | 5 Pages

    The term reflection means the examination of personal thoughts and actions. For nurses this means focusing on how they interact with their colleagues and with the environment to obtain a clearer picture of their own behaviour. This means it is a process in which a nurse can better understand themselves in order to be able to build on existing strengths and take appropriate future action (Somerville, 2004). Reflection is a way to bring your own intuition along with empirical knowledge together. Reflective practice in nursing is guided by models of reflection. Reflective practice model serves as a framework within which nursing or other management professions can work. Reflective practice model is also a structural framework or learning model that serves the purposes of a profession and is particularly applicable to health related professions. Reflective practice enables practitioners to learn to value themselves as significant people with values and feelings that are important factors in giving care. Whilst reflective practice allows the nurse to recognise the value of their experiences, they may also need support to work through a difficult situation. This is where reflection aids nurses in dealing with these challenging experiences (Johns, 1995). Reflection on experience offers nurses the opportunity to reflect on caring in practice in ways that its nature can be understood, where the skills necessary for effective caring can be developed and most significantly, where the values of caring for people can be highlighted, both to the individual nurse and the world in general (Johns 1996)

    After understanding the theory behind both the trait and skill approach, I was eager to evaluate and reflect on my own leadership traits.

From completing the Leadership Trait Questionnaire (LTQ) and the Skills Inventory, I was able to reflect more on how I behave towards others in a leadership context, as well as the skills that I currently possess.
