Holy Moly a Mock Job Interview

This interview experience was nerve wracking to say the least. My group started off with a pretty difficult warm up question. "What theme song would you say describes your life?" I said the friends theme song because you always need someone there for you especially through the rough times. I really enjoyed when I was asked "Why do you want to be a teacher?" It really brought a smile to my face to remember why I'm going through the stress of the interview. I want to become a special education teacher so I can help students, like my brother, with disabilities.  My brother has Down syndrome and school has never been easy for him, but these past few year after switching to a different district I've noticed him flourishing as a student. I want to be apart of school districts like this, that really help all the students. It was really nice to hear that question. I was happy to hear that I had been given a position at one of the schools. It made me realize that I really need to get everything in order so I'm better prepared to answer these questions. It was eye opening they really did ask great questions. It also felt so weird to actually know the answers to the questions as well. Like, wow, I actually have learned something in these past 3 years at this school. I was so glad that we did this because now I know what I have to work on, and now I know the type of questions that might be asked. Another check I can add to my list.

My own fieldwork experience

Image
There is so much to reflect on this semester and thanks to this course I feel as though I've grown so much. I was able to learn by watching my peers teach and reflecting on their work. Then I was able to use these reflections to improve my own work. I like receiving feedback no matter if it's positive or negative. It's important to understand that negative feedback is only in place to help me and this. It helps improve my future work and that is super beneficial to me as a teacher. Throughout fieldwork I left feedback for my peers in way fieldwork reflections and three pluses and a wish. They did this for me as well and I was able to fix my work based off their comments. I'm a strong believer in learning through mistakes. I loved with working with my group! It was tough this semester trying to come up with the perfect lesson plan, but my group was able to bring it at every step. We each brought important ideas to the table and I’m so glad they went through all of this w...

Wasted Conference

I had the pleasure of attending the Wasted Conference on campus. I have always tried to be conscience of my waste, but this conference was such an eye opening experience. I learned so much about the environment from this conference. There are so many ways to stop food wasting and no one knows about them! Supermarkets and restaurants waste so much food everyday, and when 1/3 of the population in America is hungry. There is even a law in place that if restaurants and supermarkets donate the leftover food that they would rather waste to nonprofit organizations, and someone gets sick, they cannot be sued. This protects the supermarkets and restaurants from getting sued. Most places don't know this and are still nervous about giving away food that could be seen as spoiled, even though most of the time the food isn't spoiled yet. There is a hierarchy of food recovery which explains how food waste should be used. New York State also gives tax credit to farmers who donate harvest. As...
