Everyone has unique learning styles and preferences, and others prefer different learning styles in various situations. It is no wonder that we all learn differently. While some prefer taking detailed notes in class, others like recording the lecture and listening to the speaker's notes later. I am a kinesthetic learner because I prefer doing things and physical activities to just sitting and taking notes. I also like handling physical objects and finding out how things work by myself. Mainly, I remember things better if I do them by myself, and the best way to relax and unwind is by doing exercises. Also, instead of sit-down lectures, I prefer hands-on workshops. This learning style has dramatically impacted my educational journey and my profession. It has helped me in making notes and practicing what I have learned…..Read More
Assignment 1, You’re the expert: As an expert in a current issue in the field of education (the content of your article), you have been invited to a meeting to give a 2-minute talk. (You name the meeting…School board? Parent organization? Faculty? Students? Community group?) Using a current (< 3 years old) article of your choice as a basis, you will prepare your remarks in either paragraph form. In 2-3 paragraphs, summarize your content so others can learn. Please include in any order:
1. A summary of the article content as related to a current issue in education

Technological development is driving digital transformation and globalization, and most high- paying jobs require employees to be able to use technology. Therefore, educators and all relevant stakeholders should help learners acquire the essential skills for succeeding in their future careers. COVID-19 showed why technology is a crucial element in teaching and learning. Apart from using technology as a crisis-management tool, integrating it into the current curriculum can harness virtual learning as an important learning tool. My remarks are based on the article, “Realizing the promise: How can education technology improve learning for all” by Ganimian and Hess (2020)…Read More

Assignment 2, Leadership and Lollipops
Most of us believe that leadership is a title only for the people who can highly manage things, people with massive experience. We see leaders as truly gifted people or older folks. Drew Dudley’s Everyday Leadership is one of the best inspirational talks I have ever listened to. Before watching this video, it had never occurred to me that a leader could be anything less or more than a person who leaders people, a country, or an organization. However, Dudley speaks about lollipop moments- a time when an ordinary person in my life did or said something that changed my life course. After…..Read More
PDE’s Ethics & Conduct Kit Unit 6:
Consider the scenarios below. Each fictional scenario is loosely based on actual cases that have been brought to the PSPC in recent years or ones that have appeared in local or national news. In each situation, consider how the teacher could have avoided the misconduct and how the infraction could ultimately affect the teacher’s career.
Case 1
Samuel D. is a high school English teacher who works on the weekends and during summers running a booth at a local flea market. At his flea market booth, Mr. D. resells handbags and watches that he has purchased online. After a local investigation into the flea market, several booth owners including Mr. D. are arrested for trafficking in counterfeit goods. Despite his claims of innocence, Mr. D. is found guilty of the offense and required to pay a substantial fine.
Case 2
Mary C. is a middle school band director who organized a New Year’s Day trip so that her students could perform in a bowl game in Florida. Because of inclement weather, the trip was cancelled. Ms. C claimed that all of the fees the band had collected for the trip would not be refunded because of the cancellation. When several parents contacted the travel agency, Ms. C’s deception was discovered.

Discussion 2:
Case 1: Samuel D should have researched the source and quality of the watches and handbags before selling them to ensure they are not counterfeit. He is a professional teacher, and the public vests the education profession with responsibility and trust. Therefore, educators' professional ethics and practices require teachers to embody the highest ideals of professional service. Besides, a teacher is the public’s role model and therefore should always be at their best behaviors. Thus, Samuel’s……Full Solution

2022SP Seminar in Student Teaching EDUC-620-14 Week 11
Week 11, Discussion 1
Before taking this training, my knowledge about implicit bias was very little. I didn’t know everyone has biases, and whenever I heard the term, I considered it hurtful or damaging. I have believed that I am certainly not biased throughout my love because I have lived with a family that thought inclusion and diversity as our fundamental values. My parents had a foundation that aimed to secure fair treatment and justice for all Americans. I was part of this organization, and I helped train people how to……Read More
