The Highlights of My Teaching Pedagogy Through my own experiences, and as enforced by others' opinions in the profession, I have found that teaching is one of the most rewarding careers. Not only are you placed in the position of instructing and guiding children and young adults through the life long learning process, but you are able to give back to the schools and communities which have supported your early education and experiences that opened you up to a bright future. In becoming an educator, I hope to someday share the knowledge and lend the helping, supportive hand that I was once given, allowing students to formulate their own perspectives of the multicultural society and world around them. Teaching is a career I have been interested in pursuing throughout high school, and as my experiences and study in the field expands, I feel that my desire to teach will grow stronger and develop more soundly. As a teacher, I have numerous personal goals. Mainly, my goal is to provide students with the opportunity and encouragement to succeed in life and to develop as free-thinking individuals in society. I consider myself a progressive and an essentialist, according to theory. I feel that students need to be given multiple opportunities to explore many different life skills that sometimes are overlooked in the education system. Testing, rote memorization, and lecture, in my opinion, do not promote students' own inquiry and does not give students opportunities to tap into their own source of knowledge that they each bring with them to the classroom. As a teacher, I hope to leave my students able to set and accomplish goals through the use of these life skills. Some teachers I have had while in hi... ... middle of paper ... ...hods of fill-in-the-blank or multiple choice exams. In my classroom, grades won't carry as much weight as the actual learning the students undertake. I could go on at length, discussing all aspects of my praxis as an educator, however, that would lead to a paper of excruciating length. These aspects of my teaching pedagogy that are delivered in this praxis statement are those that I feel strongest about upholding. It is important for educators to value their students and the perspectives and cultures they bring to the classroom. Student-centered education is what I find to be the key to great teaching, and overall, is the greatest way to allow students to value and grow through their own self-exploratory and self-directed education. Valuing and appreciating each of your students is what makes teaching such an enlightening, uplifting profession.
...disclosing positive signal to the investor. In this case, the profitability, turnover and return to the investors are less and this is the industrial trend. In this situation, an investor has to look into the liquidity ratio and into the debt ratio. When the profit earning capacity of the company is lesser in the industry, those company should not prefer to have higher debt as this will drain their entire liquidity and will add more pressure to the company. This will increase the chances of bankruptcy and financial distress costs too. In this regard Exxon has very poor liquidity and higher debt which is adding more risk on investment. In this case, Chevron will be preferred over Exxon because, Chevron provides for similar return to investors but at lower risk, where as risk is higher in Exxon with lower return. Thus, Exxon should not be chosen for making investment.
Chevron Corporation is an American global energy corporation that is head office in San Ramon, California. Chevron Corporation can be dated to 1870 when it was known as the Pacific Oil Coast Company. Following successive mergers with various oil firms, they finally changed their name in 1911 to Standard Oil Company. Due to the U.S. Supreme Court ordering the Pacific Oil Coast Company (POCC) to be liberated into various oil companies because it violated the Sherman Antitrust Act (New York Times). Later on name they would change their name to Standard Oil Company of California (SoCal) because of the acquisition of Pacific Oil Company. After a decade, the firm agreed upon a contract with Texas Oil Company which resulted in the formation of the Caltex Corporations. Furthermore, with successful tactical mergers with companies such as The Standard Oil Company of Kentucky, Standard Oil Company of California acquired 2,000 retail stations, increased its channel and market equity in southern region of the United States (Mattera, n.d).

Unfortunately, to reiterate Shaw’s (2010) point from earlier, the representation of youth has declined in the last 30 years, with young people being largely associated with deviance and anti-social behaviour (Foster and Spencer, 2011), which means policies, like stop and search, are put into place so adults can surveillance young people and prevent them from being at risk as well as causing
Young offenders in the legal system has become a fundamental issue to the NSW community. Due to children and young people representing a significant percentage of NSW’s population, and are the future of the community it is imperative they become effective and contributing members of society. However, children and young people make up 26% of all persons of interest proceeded against by NSW Police, and a large proportion of unrecorded crime. In order to combat this issue The Young Offenders Act 1997 was introduced, aiming to provide diversionary measures for young offenders as alternatives to court appearances. As a consequence,
According to World Youth Report (2003), the intensity and severity of juvenile offenses are generally determined by the social, economic and cultural conditions prevailing in a country. There is evidence of a universal increase in juvenile crime taking place concurrently with economic decline, especially in the poor districts of large cities. In many cases street children later become young offenders, having already encountered violence in their immediate social environment as either witnesses or victims of violent acts. Based upon what goes on in a child’s daily life and their surroundings determines whether or not they will turn into youth offenders. For example of the
In this paper you will learned about a company named Exxon Mobil. That company was founded by John. D. Rockefeller and partners. The company was established in 1870. As you start reading first paragraph, you will see how their hardworking skills made the Standard Oil controlled 95% of the US refining capacity by the year of 1878. As you read further you see how they almost ruined their reputation because they misled the public about Climate Change for a long time. Exxon Mobil company tried to fix the problem by having a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage people to follow the Paris Climate Agreement.
Chevron Corporation is a one of America’s multinational energy-producing company that yields safe and efficient energy to others. It was established in 1879 during which they dealt with the energy products such as oil, gas, and geothermal energy industries. Geothermal energy industries include marketing, refining, production, exploration, and sales. Chevron has been a successful standard oil-manufacturing that is widely recognized throughout 180 quarters across the world and resides in San Ramon, California. Chevron Company has been renamed continuously, ranging from Standard Oil Co. in 1911, Standard Oil Co. of California in 1926, to the finally Chevron Corporation in 1984 as the company has been using the chevron retail brand name for many

A consortium of foreign companies (mostly Texaco and Gulf, now both part of ChevronTexaco) made the find, heralded as the salvation of Ecuador’s economy (Kimerling, “Indigenous Peoples…” 414). Ecuadorians looked towards oil as a way to pull the nation out of chronic poverty and underdevelopment. After Texaco completed the construction of a 313-mile pipeline to transport this crude oil from the remote Amazon region, across the Andes Mountain in central Ecuador, and then to the Pacific Coast, exports of Amazon crude began in 1972 (Kimerling, “Indigenous Peoples…” 417). In a matter of five years, Ecuador’s Gross National Product (GNP) had increased from $2.2 billion to $5.9
Education is a very important aspect of our lives. It is our education that makes us who we are and determines what we become. Therefore, education is not something to be taken lightly. As a teacher, my goal will be to provide the best possible education for my students. Every student is unique. I must see students for who they are individually and respect their ideas and opinions. Each student has a different learning style. I must take this into consideration because I want to provide a constructive learning opportunity for every student. I believe that every student has the potential to learn.
Learning is a part of everyday life and teachers are to credit for it, whether it is teaching a sing-a-long or a life lesson. Teaching is a very important career that allows children a chance to better themselves. Knowing that a child will walk away with a better understanding and feel good about them gives me a great sense of accomplishment. With my love of children and the qualities I bring to the classroom, I feel that as a teacher I can make a difference.
Upon being faced with the task of writing my philosophy of teaching, I made many attempts to narrow the basis for my philosophy down to one or two simple ideas. However, I quickly came to the realization that my personal teaching philosophy stems from many other ideas, philosophies, and personal experiences. I then concentrated my efforts on finding the strongest points of my personal beliefs about teaching and what I have learned this semester, and came up with the following.
Crime is a very universal and complex situation in our society today, humanity has grown with the concept of crime as being an act that is unacceptable in society. Today the topic of crime is seen as an ongoing topic or debate for many professions around the world, in particular one of the most looked upon topics, how can crime be processed in an acceptable way for the youth? Individuals within the ages of 12-17 legally fall under the youth criminal justice act or better known as YCJA, is it now the ongoing controversy that has erupted since the YCJA has been introduced in 2003. The constant debate on whether YCJA is appropriate when it comes to youth and crime or whether it is too lenient in regards to youth offenders, with clear analysis
Teaching is a daunting task that I do not intend to take lightly. Becoming a teacher has been a dream of mine for several years. I always knew that teaching would be the career for me, especially when I began working in the school system as a substitute secretary. I loved working in the school environment; coming in contact with children everyday made me realize how much I would enjoy teaching a classroom full of students.
