Carry out Part 3 of the Report. I will find enclosed the portfolio to answer this part.  Reflect on your experiences while preparing the personal portfolio. Once you have completed all of the exercises detailed above, you must write a report in which you should reflect on what you have learned about yourself as a result of completing your portfolio. This section should be no more than two typed A4 pages. *Students are strongly advised to read the chapter ‘The art of reflection’ in Cottrell, S. (2015) Skills for Success, Basingstoke: Palgrave. Remember that simply describing a situation is not evidence of reflection. Reflection is a challenging process that involves trying to make sense of experiences, standing back to gain a clearer perspective, striving for the truth about ourselves and opening up to learning and understanding at a deeper level. Making judgments and drawing conclusions also forms an integral part of the process. This chapter is scanned in and available on Loop under the heading “Career Portfolio assignment description and supporting materials”. You can refer to the DCU guidelines on reflective learning provided. Remember, reflection will also be a vital component of completing your INTRA report. Use the following pointers to guide your report: Refer to the insights (expected and unexpected) that the exercises gave you about career options available and your career aspirations. Detail how you think the exercises will help you to better plan your future personal and career development goals. Identifying your skills (strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement). Did you discover anything new about strengths/weaknesses/challenges? If so, how are you going to use this information to assist you make better career decisions? Refer to researching and reviewing career options and your decision-making process in relation to career choices. With hindsight, are you very happy with your chosen career specialism (HRM/Marketing/Finance/E-Commerce/Law). Are you still unsure about what area of business you would like to pursue as a career? How will this information assist you in shaping your future career choices? What strategies you will apply to achieve your career goals over the coming year. Regarding this assignment, did your input on this occasion differ from other similar projects/assignments, if so why? Did you seek advice/guidance from others and if so, in what way? Is there any area of your input/performance that needs to be improved upon? Overall, what did you learn from completing the careers component of your assignment for this module?

The paper is about  “care” in education. Nel Noddings is an educator and philosopher who is infamous for her take on the philosophy of education. The paper seeks to research  Noddings and her teachings as well as the effects of care in a philosophical educational aspect. Most say that teachers who care truly make a difference and I would like to put that theory to the test.  In the spirit of Huffman and Brubaker (2009) who say caring is best assessed by analyzing encounters between teachers and students; and assuming that they have also correctly identified seven elements central to Noddings’ ethic of care (p. 36), consider the following story. After reading the story, use Noddings’ theory of care and the readings you’ve done for your paper to answer each of the questions posed below the story.   There was a little boy that attended a half day center-based program and a half day general education program. He had an IEP and was considered special needs. He was in my class for the second half of the day and was usually tired. I was doing a coloring activity with the kids when his other teacher came in for something and saw his work. She asked him why he was coloring so slowly and not staying inside the lines. He said he was tired, and she said that now he was really going to be tired because she took his work and ripped it up and threw it away. I almost died. The poor kid turned red and started to cry. I was very upset; and I can never look at this woman the same way again. I feel that was a terrible thing to do to a four-year-old special needs child. Frankly, it disgusted me.   1) a) What element of Noddings’ theory was most offended by the teacher who tore up the student’s work? b) What makes you pick that element as the most offended?   2) What would Noddings say is a good way to a) show the student empathy? b) restore the student’s sense of self? c) What makes you think those things would be empathetic and self-restoring?   3) a) Consider the response of the teacher who observed the student’s work being destroyed. (See the last five sentences of the story.) On a scale of 0-11, where 0 = “not Noddings at all” and 11 = “totally Noddings,” pick the number you think describes the way the teacher feels. b) What makes that the right number to pick?   4) a) What would Noddings say is a good first step to take to develop an attitude of caring in the teacher who tore up the work? b) What makes that a good first step? c) What would Noddings advise as a second step? d) What makes that a natural for Step 2?   5) Assuming Smeyers (1999) is right in saying an ethic of care is more a set of activities than a set of principles, what do you think is a good way to incorporate the ethics of care into preservice teaching programs? b) What makes you think that would work to help prospective teachers learn to care?   6) What makes caring the right thing to do even if the cared-for never fully reciprocates the caring they’ve received?

Watch the documentary, Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show (2018) Feel free to download and/or read the documentary film Showrunners transcript. https://canvas.butte.edu/courses/21544/files/2856607/download?wrap=1 https://canvas.butte.edu/courses/21544/files/2856573/download?wrap=1 I would like you to think about the following questions and respond to them in your post: Please respond to each question with its own, full, thoughtfully-developed paragraph(s). 1. Which of the showrunners featured in the documentary did you most identify with? What aspect of their personality and/or work ethic did you find most compelling? Please be descriptive and use concrete examples from the film in your response.  To help refresh your memory, use the attached PDF with a list of the showrunners: About the Showrunners.pdf 2. What differences, if any, did you notice between the way male and female showrunners approach their job, careers, and job security? What do you think accounts for these differences? Be specific. 3. Finally, what changes, if any, do you think would make the system of producing television shows “better”? Consider this question in terms of quality of content, fairness, or diversity of the showrunners, directors, actors, and others. Please note that instances of plagiarism or academic dishonesty will likely result in removal from the class.  Please respond to all of these questions, addressing each one in a separate paragraph. The quality of your writing must be: formal, not casual academic, not ‘spoken’ descriptive, i.e. you explain the ‘what’ and describe scenes, moments, and examples from the film. The more specific, detailed, and colorful your response, the better. analytical, i.e. you explain the ‘why’ and provide reasons and support for your claims and assertion. Use logic and reasoning to explain why – and be persuasive! be clear in your writing: sentence structure, clarity, spelling, and punctuation are important. do not simply provide one sentence answers – no points will be awarded to answers that do not provide substantial explanation and responses to these questions.

Critical Tech Reflection ( Desmos Review) Directions:  For this reflection, you are to do a write up of your chosen tech tool that you presented in this class (DESMOS). You have seen many resources used throughout the course of the semester and now is the time to critically write and review one of your own.  Parameters: Title your paper “Critical Tech Reflection” Your paper should be a 12-point font and should be between 3 and 5 paragraphs. You should address the following questions: What is the name of the tech tool?  What is used for?  What issues does it resolve?  What issues does it create? What makes this tool great? What are the shortcomings of this tool?  Where does it fail? How does this tool support the themes and ideas presented in this class? In what ways or capacity can you see yourself or your students using this tool? Does this tool have any competitors?  If so, what are they?  What makes them different? Do you have to pay for this tool?  What options does this tool offer? How does this tool align to the standards?  Here is a link to those standards. You are going for more of a narrative rather than a set of unrelated bullet points.  I would like this exercise to be about how you would intelligently speak to your future colleagues as a professional educator.

Instructions: There has been increasing concern among educators for the quality of learning environments. The social psychology has taught us about the effects of the quality of interpersonal relationships while industrial psychologic contributed many insights about the effects of organizational environment (e. g. structure, policies and procedures). Reflect on your personal experience when the climate was not conducive to learning.
