...Reflective Paper Daphne Jackson BSHS/345 April 18, 2015 Elaine McCullough "Generational poverty" is defined as having been in poverty for at least two generations. Generational Poverty creates a strong family oriented environment that is a bond that most children refuse to want to break by leaving home. In generational poverty, the players feel that society owes them a living whereas in situational, they often allow pride to keep them from accepting needed assistance. Most of the children that are raised in poverty have a lack of education resulting in a high dropout rate due to frustration in learning, teen pregnancy and other personal problems or situations. Children become possessions to their parents, instead of individuals that should taught the basics and values of life. So, they can feel prepared to move out on their own to achieve success within their lives and the future to come. In most households, older children tend to take care of the younger children; forming a sense of belonging to the family, which can result in the younger kids having a “fear factor” out living life on their own. Many single parents work longer hours to make ends meet, but a sacrifice of the inability to educate their children makes for low test scores in school. This type of situation causes educational boundaries that could cause illiteracy with children wanting to drop out because of anger and depression issues. Poverty can occur in one of two methods. The first is caused by an event...

...Week 1 – Reflective Journal This was my first day in class for the unit Co Ordinate the Work Environment. Amongst the class mates each one introduced the self to others, and Adrian as a teacher for the unit introduced himself to all of us. Today’s lecture was based on housekeeping and overview of unit outline. I learned about different ways to contribute and practise effective workplace practises. I also learned about different leadership styles. I felt good throughout the class as I was an active participant in all topics. I felt good about taking on the knowledge about learning and sustaining workplace ethics and self morale. I believe that this knowledge will help during my job times. Week 2 – Reflective Journal In today’s session I learned about developing and implementing work plans. The idea behind is to integrate into and build a healthy, trustworthy and reliable relationship with colleagues. I listened the whole session carefully, gave my opinion at right time and respected to the opinion shared by other students. I also learned about how at a workplace we can maximise the performance and outcomes and yes how can i forget the amazing organisational theories, boring but important. I took proper notes throughout the session and kept myself attentive till the end. Week 3 – Reflective journal In this week’s class I learned about implementing various strategies to ensure that the communication in a workplace is effective. I think the information was very necessary...

...Critically reflective essay Emma Purnell: 0522771 “Our planning (or worrying about) what’s happening next gives us little opportunity or inclination to examine what has just passed” Wallace (2005) Writing from a student teacher perspective I thought it was very apt to start with the quote above. I believe I, like many student teacher colleagues, spend so much time worrying about what I have to do next, that sometimes I need to have a gentle prod or reminder that I need to be critically reflective of my actions in order to improve my future teaching performance. Sometimes if a session goes wrong I would rather not dwell on it and re-examine why it went wrong as it hurts my pride. However, this would be the easy option and how many times in future situations could I close my eyes and pretend bad experiences hadn’t happened? So regardless of how painful the experience it is vital that we critically reflect on everything we do as teachers, after all we reflect automatically on events in our personal life that we do or don’t want to happen again yet we find it harder to do it in our professional lives. The idea of the need for reflection goes back to the time of Socrates who claimed that the unexamined life was not worth living. More recently however, the idea of reflection in learning was radical in the times of traditional educational institutions. John Dewey as early as the 1930’s wrote and advocated the need for reflection in learning. Dewey, the father of experiential...
