...History Month is an annual celebration and reflection on the great achievements, challenges, and perseverance of the African American community throughout history. As I reflect on the significance of this month, I am reminded of the need to understand and respect the rich tapestry of Black history that has woven itself into the fabric of our common human narrative. This month provides a chance for in-depth reflection on the outstanding accomplishments of African Americans who have made a lasting impact in a variety of disciplines. Black people's influence is far-reaching and crucial to the evolution of our global civilization, spanning the arts, sciences, politics, and sports. It is time to investigate the lives of unsung heroes whose...

Looking back and looking forward I will reflect on my experience and time here at ALC. I will start of on the bad reflections that I have had and I will end with the good reflections that I have had.

...In my experience, when this team work is successfully we will build a good relationship and be a friend, for example, when I work with a multi-culture team in language school, my classmates also become my friends. Team leadership Work in a multi-culture team, the important technique is people need to respect each other, and try to understand everyone’s culture diversity (Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, 1998, p.60-61). Also have different organizational structure to adapt different culture, so leader is important, because this person might influence this team work is successful or not (Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, 1998, p.64-66). As a good team leader, have a correct organization can make team operation more effective, and it also depend on different culture background and team constitution, for instance, which countries are team members from (Robert, Mansour, Paul and Peter, 2002). Conclusion In recent years more people face of multi-culture work, owing to increase globalization business, so it is essential to understand different culture and how to operate and work with different background’s people. However it cannot avoid conflict and people have different opinion, but in the process respect and good communication and help members solve problems (Richard and Tim, 2009).

...the National Service Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001 was signed and implemented into law by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for tertiary level students amending for the purpose of Republic Act No. 7077 and Presidential Decree No. 1706. NSTP has three program components which teaches or trains students to enhance their civic consciousness which will then increase their service and patriotism; (1) Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) is a program under Republic Act 7077 which trains the youth in tertiary level in a military training which activate them for national defense preparedness. (2) Literacy Training Service trains the students to become teachers to less fortunate school children, out-of-school youth and other indigent people who have been neglected for the opportunity of learning. (3) Civic Welfare Training Service is a program that trains the students to contributing for the general welfare of the life of the members of the community. During my first year in Xavier University I have taken up the required one-year formative and holistic program the NSTP LTS 1 and 2. There were only 2 main agenda of the program and those were the 1) Class Session which includes Reflection and Reporting and, 2) The Work Area/Community Exposure which includes Assessment of the student being handled by us or the tutee, Reflection and Reporting. Literature Training Service (LTS) mainly focuses on the enrichment of children’s or tutees learning skills that were living in the...

Many years ago my wife built a small pond in our garden and each year it is populated with goldfish, although this year we have only two. This year is the first year that we have had frog spawn, which have now turned into tadpoles. I thought I would try to take a photograph of one of them. I could see it clearly under the water, but when I pointed the camera at it, the camera only saw the back of our house reflected in the surface of the water. The photographers will tell me to use a filter; it is well known that photography through water is difficult! I was intrigued with the reflection and how bright and persistent it was. I was reminded that when people look at us they will sometimes see what we are like, and they will sometimes see a reflection of Jesus in us, and often a mixture of both. In 2Cor 3:18 Paul indicates that the Holy Spirit will be transforming us into the likeness of Jesus in an ever greater degree of glory. I suggest that people will see the reflection of Jesus more clearly when our own lives have fewer ripples, splashes and disturbances in it. This summer my...

...Home Examples and samples Personal development plan final reflection essay Personal Development Plan Final Reflection Essay In my previous personal development plan, I had made several initiatives through which I hoped to achieve certain goals both in academics and in social life. In the previous personal development plan, I had embarked more on the process that I believe would help me to think about my own learning, performance and achievements as well as to plan my personal, educational, social and career development. Since I made the plan within the PDP, there are certain changes that I have witnessed happening in my career, social and learning areas. For example, I have noted that for the last one semester, I have improved in a number of areas that I had pointed in my last PDP. In academics, I have achieved a lot, as my average grades have improved from the previous B+ to an A. This is primarily because I was able to develop clear SWOT analysis, in which I recognized my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats not only in academics, but also in my social life, extra-curricular activities and any other activity I took. With this plan, I worked hard to perfect my strengths, correct the weaknesses and make them my strong points, utilize the opportunities placed within my abilities and finally recognize and avoid any negative effect that was posed by the threats in the SWOT analysis (Bolton 2010). From these considerations, I recognized that some...

...Received: October 19, 2011 doi:10.5539/ies.v5n2p118 Accepted: November 3, 2011 Published: April 1, 2012 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ies.v5n2p118 Abstract The increasing diversity in students’ enrolment in higher education in Norway offers an opportunity to use collaborative learning and teamwork as a learning vehicle to exploit the synergy in the community to have formal and informal agoras. Theoretical and empirical observation of the value of team processes provides the framework to personify our understanding of learning and present a model for teaching in higher education in Norway. We consider learning as a holistic process and one must appreciate its dynamics and be flexible and responsive to it. Moreover, such a view of the entire process necessitates an active communication with all stakeholders of the system and to make an integrative and coordinated effort to ensure availability of the required institutional resources, equitable distribution of the students’ resources, and a smooth transition from the traditional lecturing to this form of collaborative learning to make higher educational institution a learning organization. We report a positive feedback from the students attending two courses at School of Business at HiOA, indicating that students consider this teaching method adding more value compared to traditional...

...Since my Sophomore year, I volunteer to sort papers for my former Chemistry teacher, Mrs. Catherine Worden, someone unaffiliated with my intended major and my intended course in life, for three days a week, four weeks per month, eight months per year. This seemly trivial act of kindness can be explained by two universal truths. “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” - Plato The battle she fights is uphill. Mrs. Worden diligently works nonstop, grading assignments and helping students from the crack of dawn to the fall of dusk, yet for all of this stress, she doesn’t stop. She eccentrically devotes time towards teaching chemistry in an exhilarating and memorable manner. This is my way of showing appreciation. Some may...

What author’s thought patterns, his way of thinking, evaluated Strengths and Weaknesses, how can findings be used in practice? This article explained that students should use journals in their studies for their researches. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of learning journals as vehicles for encouraging critical reflection among non-traditional students and to compare variances with studies among traditional students. An objective of the study was to understand how students in a technical computer class reacted to the requirements for learning journals. Qualitative method focused on whether learning journals show to be an effective teaching tool in science-based, adult learning. The purpose of this article critique is to analyze the strengths and weaknesses points for the components of the Langer’ article Langer (2002).

...As an introduction to this reflection, I’d say that Management really is an interesting subject, especially when your instructor makes you laugh anytime. Oh, but we’ll just tackle that one in the next ground because I still have a reflection to make. So for me to finally start with this,---to be honest, I do not really know what is “Principles and Organization and Management” is, or before, but as days, months, times goes and passes by, primary matters that is inside in a management was discussed. Wherein, the manager is always the one that is mentioned. A manager must always know what to do, what to plan and everything that is good for the company. How to manage diversity also reflects on me, a student, because in a classroom I am in, we have different cultures, so in like managing about it, you have to be open minded, you must listen to others opinions before making another step. Just like, the manager as a decision maker. A manager must set his plans already involving the management so that it can be shared to everyone. (For me, planning always comes first before decision making.) In a life wherein you have to be careful on having your plans in order for you to have a good outcome in the end after the decision was made. Reflecting on “doing the right thing” and “doing things right” these are really perfect thoughts to be reflected by us students. Somewhat like, one at a time, but you cannot, because in every little thing that occur there’s always two sides. But to be specific...

...Running Head: NOTES 1 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF EDUCATION FAITH, FREEDOM, AND PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES Session 1 Notes Legally Supported Abington School District v. Schempp Many people think this is the case that the Bible had been thrown out of public schools, but it was really the type of Bible reading that had been thrown out of Schools. There was a PA law that said, “At least ten verses from the Holy Bible shall be read, without comment, at the opening of each public school on each school day. Any child shall be excused from such Bible reading, or attending such Bible reading, upon the written request of his parent or guardian.” Edward Schempp challenged this law saying that the state should not be making Bible reading mandatory. The Supreme Court favored Schempp and declared “this type” of Bible reading in the public schools to be unconstitutional. They did however say, “It certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study for its literary and historic qualities.” Florey v. Sioux Falls School District This federal case dealt with Religious Holidays. The Sioux Falls school policy read, “Music, art, literature, and drama having religious themes or basis are permitted as part of the curriculum for school sponsored activities and programs if presented in a prudent and objective manner and as a traditional part of the cultural and religious heritage of the particular holiday.” ...
