By implementing this idea in Area Two schools to support special education students, we will create a more data driven approach to increasing student achievement. By following this idea the team will also do a better job of implementing professional development and mentorships that greatly increase teacher effectiveness. The idea will also increase understanding of the diversity of the schools and promote community involvement by establishing more open communication with the parents and the community to support their students’ needs. The leadership teams will work together to set goals and objectives to support achievement in all grade levels. They will develop a framework for good communication between teachers and leaders so there is
I face a number of unusual personal expenses that make it difficult for my family to contribute to the cost of my education. Unfortunately, I along with my two other siblings and mother have been diagnosed with a variety of autoimmune diseases. I have been diagnosed with Type One Juvenile Diabetes, my middle sister has been diagnosed Vitiligo, my youngest sister has a form of Uveitis, and my mother has been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. In order to treat our respective diseases we need to take the prescribed medications that are each very costly and do not have a generic brand available on the pharmaceutical market. The treatment of my, my siblings, and mother’s collective diseases is financially heavy on our family, and it makes it
As an Arab immigrant who was raised in the United States since he was seven years old, who lived in Michigan seeing Arabs everyday and never felt like he was in a foreign country; and moving to NYC in 2015, changed the whole style of my life. NYC the tremendous city that I couldn’t find the people that I knew and that I understood nor those that understands me because of our massive cultural differences, and believes. The biggest problem is when I started school in NYC. The school system was different because in NYC they had regents, also their credit requirements were different, for that I was behind in credits and didn’t know what was the regents. Also, I came to school almost at the end of the First marking period of the second semester of freshman year.
I made one other staff application before on a server called PowerCraft. I was fortunate enough (and lucky enough) to actually come through. The staff application format over at PowerCraft's website was similar to the format on this
Before starting my day, I usually put on a earphone and press “shuffle play” on my Throwback playlist on my Spotify account. The most recent five songs that I have listened to before writing this assignment was You Rock My World - With intro by Michael Jackson, Baby, I’m Back by Baby Bash, Just The Two Of Us by Grover Washington, Charlene by Anthony Hamilton, and Show Me The Way by Earth Wind & Fire. Interestingly I have never heard these songs until last year because I was only exposed to music that was on the radio station such as 94.9 or 106.1 where newest and trending songs were played most often. Since three of those songs were produced in early 2000’s and the other two produced between the 1970s and 1980s, I was never able to come across
When I first learned that the second unit would be about writing in different genres I was totally confused. What did this mean? Would I be doing different writings of mystery, romance or science fiction? That was my only small narrow view of what a genre is. I have now come to learn that a genre is not only simply whether something is fiction or nonfiction but a genre is different types of writing from a recipe to a resume. I have come to learn that there are so many different types of genres all unique in their own respect and all written from a different perspective.
If I had to make an audio text about the UK vs. Auburn football game, I would approach it much differently then I did with the presentation. The audio text would go into much more detail then our PowerPoint did and would provide some vital background information. To start things off, I would probably introduce both of the schools and not just the football team like we did in our presentation. I would talk more about the traditions that each school has and what made them the school they are today. I would then slowly start to transition the text into athletics and then eventually the football team. I would introduce both of the coaches, team captains, and the team statistics. I would then get into the pros and cons that
For this assignment, I began logging my media usage on September 3th thru September 5th. Over the course of those two days, I used my laptop computer (online and off online), my android mobile device, television, and social media outlets. The most challenging aspect of this assignment was actually documenting the “spare of the moment” social media usage that occurred when I was walking to class or waiting on a meeting. However, it was truly an eye opening assignment that displayed how the media is not only a part of my everyday life, it consumes my life.
Identify two specific learning needs the student has as an English learner, based on the student description and the responses.
I am currently under academic warning, recognized as a bachelor’s student rather than an honour. Including the 30 transfer credits received from Trent University, I have 84 credits completed + 3 credits partially completed from ADMS 3330 of which is currently in process this summer term 2015. If my failing grade for ADMS 2510 is not dropped the 90 credits will be completed with a GPA below 5.0. I do not want to graduate as a bachelor’s student rather my dream and goal is to graduate as honours completing 120 credits. It will not be difficult for me to achieve this goal next year, since the parental disorders I was fluctuating with has been resolved, in other words I am now living with one parent happily. With a relaxed mind I have made goals
The first things I noticed were block paragraphs that were numbered. Also, I noticed numbers and dates.
Reading Decoding Composite: There were two different tests in this section. The first one required Lisa to read actual words, and the second had her read made up words that followed phonics rules. Lisa scored below average on each of these sections, but she has started to obtain a basic understanding how to decode words. Due to her difficulty in being able to read, Lisa will have difficulty reading and completing assignments in the classroom.
I have always been the person people go to for answers. Since seventh grade I have been in honors classes; I was the only seventh grader in an eighth grade math class. I had never been so nervous walking in to class in my life. My legs were trembling and my hands were shaking. I walked around the room hoping to find a seat not in the back so I do not show my teacher I do not care; but not in the front so my classmates think I am a kiss up. I sat in between two boys, and tried to not let them see how intimidated I actually am by them.
My father is a senior design hardware engineer, and consequently he works with many software engineers. For an eighth grade project, I interviewed one of my father’s coworkers, where I learn some of the kinds of projects that software engineers work on. I wanted to get a feel for programming to see if I would like it, which is why when I was a sophomore in high school, I enrolled in an online coding course called introduction to computer science.
Understanding the way A.I. works is crucial to understanding A.I. goals. There are several traits that separate Artificial Intelligence from regular machines. One such trait is an A.I.’s ability to “think” through Neural Networks, which are networks made of simulated neurons and neuron layers designed to process and evaluate data. The simulated neurons are individual receptors designed to process and evaluate inputs. Following their evaluation, the neurons send an output to another simulated neuron in the next neuron layer. These neuron layers are layers of simulated neurons grouped by what type of input they receive and output they produce, that scales in complexity (Knight). MIT tech review senior editor Will Kight provided the example of
Taking the uniquely you assessment online I learned that I was an inspirational specialist I/S and what is expected of me is steady influencers S/I (Carbonell, 2013). When people are around me they think of me as a people person by inspiring others but actually, I’m relaxed and reserved and people come to me for inspiration. By me being a relaxed casual person I attend to stay away from conflict or get it solved right away because I do not like being an emotional person. I also thought it was something bad but I have learned over the years that conflict can be very beneficial and a learning tool. Being in several leadership positions I have dealt with a lot of conflicts but due to avoiding conflict as much as possible I missed out on a lot
