Blog For week Four

Make sure to include: A reflection of your process to learn it, and what you would change to learn more/better. My process in learning this week did struggle. I am still trying to get the hang of managing my time this semester with work, school, homework, projects, and the other happenings of life. In my effort to change my study habits for the next week I decided that I will take notes while studying before the next class. This will help to keep me engaged while studying. What experience or resource helped you learn the most. An experience that helped me the most this week was in my Preschool lab. We currently have child with an IEP in our class and learnign about Ecomaps and the grieving process helped me to see this child and her family in a different light and feel empathetic toward their situation. How well prepared are you for applying what you learned in the future. At this point in the class there is still a lot to learn. I know however though that a lot of what I do in this class will be a huge part of what I do when I finally do enter my career. There are laws and processes that must be followed so that all people involved can be successful in the journey. How well did your peers learn and what did you do to help them learn more. This week we worked on the first part of our case study. It was great to interact and create with my peers on a different level then in class. I feel I helped my peers my creating a real life scenario of the family that we were given and they helped me by also bringing ideas that were beneficial. Weekly Quote: This can be a statement from class lecture, peers, guest lecture etc. This is anything that stood out to you that you want to remember later in your professional life. In our group, during one of our discussions, a peer said to our group, "We can't help everyone. We can do our best and give families the proper tools, but ultimately it is up to them to be diligent with their child and accept that all situations are different. " No matter how others act, we can always try our best.
