Blog 4: Project Reflection and Working EQ

The Pentagon: 

(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far? 

One positive thing that has happened to me is I learned to be assertive and take charge. 

(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?

The research has been very helpful in understanding my topic. The biggest help to me though was my first interview, I say this because my mentor Genesis gave me a list of books to read and advice on taking courses. 


(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project? 

Finding a mentor and gaining the kids trust.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?   

    There's not really a lot of research on my topic
(5) Finding Value:  Based on your experience so far,

•  What possible question or questions come to mind regarding what you would like to studythis year (don't list questions about the instructions relating to the senior project)?  
• How will this apply to my life in understanding Childhood development and myself ?  If I stick to this project in college will this knowledge be beneficial?
•  What is your end goal this year with your senior project (don't say get a good grade or gain knowledge, put specific things you want to accomplish in your senior project this year)   

     The end result for me would be to get a paying job with the school and continue this   project and hopefully one day become a preschool teacher in the near future.

• Who would you like to talk to you next? Why?   
• I would like to talk to different preschool teachers at different schools, this is because every school and classroom is ran differently.  Another reason is because I want to be as educated as I can be in my topic.

Blog 3: Interview Preparation

Blog 3

1). I plan to interview my Mentor Genesis Santiago. I chose to interview her because I feel what she has to say can help me with my senior project. I also chose to interview her because she can give me information and additional resources to help me fulfill my senior project, to my best of my ability.


 2). I plan to ask follow up questions such as if you could pick any other career would you do it? How long have you been teaching? Whats the hardest thing about being a teacher? 


                 
                       

Blog 2: Topic Choice

                                         Topic Choice 

 A).My topic is the advantages of quality preschool learning I chose this topic because I'm interested in known the statistics, another reason is because in the future I plan to be a preschool teacher, so I want a head start in learning how to make sure of success when they enter Kindergarten. 

B). iPoly citizen: I plan to educate the students and parents of iPoly on the importance of  a quality preschool or preschool in general.
Effective Communicator: I plan to educate myself and others by interviewing teachers,   my mentor and reading books, articles, and doing research. I can teach and have evidence to back me up so i can then communicate the importance of a quality preschool education.
This will make me a more effective learner because I will be more understanding of the importance of a quality preschool and more factual when people ask me why or how do I know.
Effective user of Technology: I plan on observing my mentor closely as she teaches the kids, doing research, and going to several different preschool and view the curriculum and see how they compare and contrast.
