PREFACE
This off-campus narrative report is purposely prepared for the student teacher.
This work contains the student-teacher’ activities and experience in the different areas of work in the school where he was assigned. It provides further opportunity for the student-teacher to become aware and understand the total setting of the teacher education program.
To undergo practice teaching is not an easy task for the student teacher to meet the required standards within the given training period. A student teacher should commit mistakes in culminating his mission. He should perform multifarious rules inside the classroom.
Fit and Fine...that's our motto.
Eat right, exercise well and stay happy.
This issue of Udgam Matters focusses mainly on some simple yoga aasanas for everyday health, homeopathy for good health and the healthy food options available in our school. You will also find valuable tips to keep school bags light and comfortable, 11 top reasons why you should speak English and how to manage stammering in speech. Find out about the Proactivity Club activities and enrol today.

An application letter is merely another name for a cover letter, the official business letter often included with a job application and/or resume and sent to a prospective employer. Although application letters are generally considered optional components of applying for a job, more and more frequently, employers are singling out those who actually take the time to write an application letter as their top picks. Here are a few components of a typical, successful application letter:
Professional Style
Application letters are usually, and should always, be in an officer letter style, like block style. These letters should be formatted properly and checked for spelling and grammatical errors.
Salutation
Although many application letters open with a simple "Sir or Madam:", the more successful application letters are addressed personally to the hiring manager (which often takes some research on the part of the job applicant).

CHAPTER 16
Succeeding in Your Teacher Education Program, and Beyond
Teacher Interview: Amber Velasquez
Amber Velasquez is a second-grade teacher at Chandler Oaks Elementary School, in Round Rock, Texas. Ms. Velasquez is in her second year of teaching. She grew up in Round Rock, did her student teaching in the school district, and is now a second-year teacher. From the time I was 5 years old I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I went to school in Round Rock, graduated from there, and now I teach there.
What is your school like?
The school has grades K–5 and is in its second year with 600-plus students. Our families are middle and upper class, depending on where they live. The two-story building is brand new, with lots of technology. Our district has a contract with Dell, a big company in Austin, so we have lots of technology.
We have windows on the outside of each classroom. They are fairly big. We also have windows looking into the hallway. The school expectation is that your blinds are always up for the windows looking outside and the ones facing inside. In many ways you are teaching in a fish bowl!
All six of the second-grade classroom doors face a big central area called the “Village.” This area is an extension of our classrooms. The Village houses technology including a big document camera and Smart Board that we can use for grade-level presentations and lessons. Each classroom has a bathroom, so there are no big bathroom breaks. Also, there is a back walkway joining each classroom.
What advice do you have for teacher education candidates?
Let me fast forward to something I wish I had known: I just want to share that this profession is a changing profession. There are going to be lots of trends that happen. There is going to be a lot of curriculum that you will learn is the “right way,” and the only way during your teacher preparation classes. Then you will learn that in the real world it will be taught in a different way.
Best practice is a growing practice. It is OK to feel passionate about the way a curriculum is taught, but you still need to be knowledgeable about other ways to deliver the same curriculum. Set high expectations for yourself as a personal learner. As you move closer to securing a teaching position and even after you have obtained one, seek out professional development opportunities, conferences, seminars, and books. The pressure of learning best practice increases once you earn your license. Hold yourself accountable for meeting your learning expectations.
To what extent are parents involved in your school?
Our parents are very involved. They are on campus all the time. If teachers have something they need done, such as a bulletin board, copies, or something cut out, a parent will volunteer to do that for you. There is a room called the Pro Center. Parents can work on projects there. What is wonderful about utilizing parent volunteers is that a teacher can spend her time working on things that are more academi ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Graduation Speech: Dr. Timothy Cheslik, Director of Academic Affairs-Jamaica
Campus
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions
drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition.”
The author is Steve Jobs, former CEO of APPLE; an individual with an idea, a goal, and the desire to get
there. Some number of months ago each of you had an idea, a goal, and the desire to embark on a new
career. You had the persistence, fortitude, and resolve to get to Graduation and you are to be commended
on a job well done!
As I think back over the last year, I remember all the students and their unique accomplishments but a few
who showed extraordinary determination, commitment, and enthusiasm come to mind:
The 9/17/2012 starting class with Kerwin Norville, Diandra Blades, Charmaine George, Jacob Roach,
Daly Lopez, Brian Ramkhelawan, Daquan Green, Adrine Morgan, Sabrina Roopnareine, and Kathy
Phillips, just to name a few. The entire 9/17 class worked with Students Learning-for-a-Cause to provide a
happier Christmas for children who were sick and in NYHQ. The class put on a bake sale raising over
$250 (the most ever raised in a bake sale at the Jamaica Campus) and collected toys to give to children at
Christmas time who were hospitalized in NYHQ. When the box of toys were full and needed to be packed
for delivery we organized them in the library; it covered 3 tables (15 feet long and 4 feet wide). Those
things alone would be enough for anyone but the class did not stop there. In order to generate as much
interest in attending the bake sale, a number of the students sang Christmas carols and other songs
dedicated to the children while a slide show ran in the background. Finally, a check was written to St.
Jude’s—and matched from the Allen School—from the funds collected at the bake sale.
I am proud to have worked with you and job well done!
Obtaining a certificate of completion for Medical
Assisting or Nursing Assisting takes many hours of
study, preparing homework assignments, listening to
classroom lectures, performing lab skills, and
completion of an internship; all this to be done before
or after a job, while taking care of children or family
members, and with the many personal responsibilities
adults have from day-to-day. No short order indeed and
that accomplishment commands recognition.
Can one person really make a difference? Can one
person persevere in the face of hardship and succeed?
We often think not, but I would like to consider the
words of one individual who posed these thoughts to
graduates at Stanford University in 2005.

… That is only because I truly feel that I do not deserve
it more than any other faculty member in the school.
As a community, the faculty members all work as one
toward the same primary goal—to prepare our students
for a better future. It would be pretentious of me to say
that I am not elated to have been singled out for this
appreciation. Therefore, I would like to thank the
administration of Allen School, especially my Campus
Director, Ms. Jill Luke, and my Director of Academic
Affairs, Dr. Tim Cheslik, for this honor and recognition.
I have been with Allen School for 13 years. I have
always cherished the opportunity that Allen School has
afforded me to do—the one thing that I have always
loved—teaching. The school has grown so much from
when I started teaching here. The programs that the
school offers have been improved, upgraded, and kept
current to keep up with the demands of new
methodology, trends, and technology. I am glad that I
have played a small part in the process. Allen School
has given me a great platform to impart what I know to
its student body. The school has given me not only the
opportunity to teach students and help them understand
the importance of education and what it can do to equip
them for whatever future endeavors they may have, but
also to a great extent, the chance for me to develop my
own skills and improve my self-worth. It is a great
pleasure being a part of the Allen School community
where I hope to remain for many more years to come.
The faculty of
the year award
came as a
pleasant
surprise. I never
really expected
that such an
honor would be
bestowed upon
me …

I have always told myself that if I get the chance, I would go back to school to get a job in the medical
field. I have always dreamed of working somewhere in this field! In 2011, I got that chance. I spent a few
months going back and forth about the idea, having long conversations with my family. Once the idea of
school became a reality, I started thinking “can I actually do this?” I have been out of school for quite some
time and was worried about getting back into the swing of things with homework, class work, and tests. I
didn’t want to let myself down and I wanted to show my daughter that it is never too late; you just have to
work for it. So, with the support of my family and a leap of faith I enrolled into the Allen School and
started in February 2012.
My time at the Allen School was great! I was pleasantly surprised to see I was not as rusty as I thought I
would be! My teachers were amazing. My classes and classmates were great! We worked together to make
sure we all made it to the end. I was very proud of myself to see how well I was doing in school and that I
was retaining what I was learning, though it wasn’t always easy! There were long nights and early
mornings. Weekends were spent studying and getting a head start on the next week’s homework. My
family helped me study for all my exams with flashcards and quizzed me when I needed it.
I cannot thank all my teachers enough for their patience, kindness, and giving up their free time to make
sure that my classmates and I were comfortable with all the material we were learning. I learned a lot about
myself in my short time at the Allen school feeling much more confident in my professional life. I thank all
my teachers and fellow students for helping me become a better me!
I finished my internship in August 2012, and was hired by my site. Not even 6 months later I was hired by
NYU Langone Medical Center. Now, I have my dream job, in my dream field. I owe it all, not only to
myself and to my hard work and my family, but to the amazing people that helped me along the way at the
Allen School! Thank you!
Forever grateful, for everything. - Cora Gold

Not to long ago I am sure all of you wondered if you would complete the program you set out to finish.
… What you set out to accomplish was not a simple task. It required long hours of reading and studying,
along with many hours of practicing and perfecting your clinical and administrative skills. While you had
some disappointments and some frustration and anger when things didn't go well, you still persevered to
accomplish your goal of graduation and the ability to get a stable career.
There may have even been people who thought that you couldn't do it. But you refused to lose, you refused
to quit, and you refused to give up. That what makes you special: your commitment, your dedication,
and your courage. The Medical Professional that you have become will now and forever always be an
inspiration for others.

There are two major opportunities that can be
afforded to us in this lifetime; the chance to give
comfort and/or healing for the sick, and the
chance to improve the quality of someone’s life.
In my case, I am fortunate enough to have been
given both opportunities.
After putting myself through nursing school at the
age of 18, and later becoming a Social Worker, I
have made it my goal to touch the life of at least
one person each day. Working here at the Allen
School has allowed me to enhance the lives of
many students by sharing my knowledge and
opening the door to much needed resources for
those students who feel like they have nowhere to
turn.
I am grateful to the Administration and staff for
their recognition of my work; however, my
greatest joy is in my ability to still touch the life of
at least one student each day.

I have always been a compassionate person and
worked as a Certified Home Health Aide. I realized
that the medical field was for me and I wanted to go
pursue a career in it.
I am now a proud member of The Allen School of
Health Sciences, Medical Assistant Alumni! Although
I researched other schools prior to choosing Allen
School, I was, and still am, pleasantly surprised by the
level of excellence in academics. In submitting my
resume for employment, my only experience as a
medical assistant has been my training at Allen
School and my internship. In a field loaded with
experienced medical assistants, some with college
degrees, I am finding prestigious companies interested
in interviewing me. With my faith in the Supreme
Being, coupled with my Allen School training, I have
no doubts that I will find the perfect fit!

During my time at the Allen School, I have
learned a lot. My experiences helped me grow
both personally and professionally. At first, I was
not 100% sure this was what I wanted to do but as
time went on, I made friends and we helped pull
each other through. During each module, I pushed
myself harder and harder. Third module was the
toughest for me because we had 5 different
classes. Any obstacle that got in my way, there
were teachers I could go to that helped me
through and get focused on my studies. My
classmates never let me give up. It is so important
to have a good support system. You never know
what a person may be going through. I learned a
lot in my classes. My favorites were EKG and
Phlebotomy. I am so happy that I get the
opportunity to put those skills to use on my
internship. One of the best parts of my experience
at the Allen School was participating in Students
Learning-for-a-Cause. My class chose Hodgkin's
Lymphoma to raise awareness. We raised over
$1,200 to donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Foundation. These 6 months went by so fast. It
was, by no means, an easy trip, but when you
give 100%, you will get 100% back. If I had to do
it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I had
some good times and I made it!

Thank you very much for this award. I'm so pleased
and honored to receive it. This award makes my

I enjoy teaching for so many reasons; the most
important one is that I learn so much from my

their help and the help of my colleagues and friends
at Allen School.
I want to give a great big thank you to everyone who

Congratulations! You have worked hard and now have the privilege of joining the field of health care. This
gift should not be taken lightly. After almost 20 years of working in medicine, I can assure you the health
care field will not only bring great rewards and opportunity, but also challenges and adversity. You have
each exemplified The Allen School core values of dedication, integrity, teamwork, and excellence. These
values you have demonstrated during your educational journey will carry you through challenges as well as
successes. You began your course work 9 months ago nervous and excited all rolled up into one wonderful
and overwhelming feeling! Did you think it would be easy? No, but you knew that nothing is possible unless
you took that first step.
May today be the beginning of a long and successful career in healthcare …With each new day, try to learn
more, try to help more, try to serve your community more. Take chances. There will be challenges, but know
that the next rock in your path might be a stepping stone. Each and every one of you will use the core values
exemplified by this great school to achieve great success. You will learn something from every patient and
person who passes through your lives... Some lessons are painful, some are painless… but all are priceless.
Take this feeling of pride and accomplishment you have and continue to achieve greatness.

I would like to thank the Allen School of Health
Sciences and all of my instructors for the support
and encouragement given during my studies in the
Medical Billing and Coding Program.
I was always curious about the billing and coding
aspect in healthcare, and in January of 2012 I was
able to pursue that curiosity when I began the
MIBC program.
The schedule for my classes was a perfect fit for
my daily activities, and each day I was excited to
learn something new.
I took the Certified Professional Coding exam the
day after the program ended and I passed. Two
weeks later I began my new career as a medical
biller and coder.
Again, thank you to all of my instructors and

I wanted to achieve!

I am much honored to receive the 2013 Core
Educate Values Award. This is my seventh year with
Allen School, and I had the privilege of creating the
original, and now updated—Health Information
Management and Medical Law and Ethics courses
for the MIBC program. I've enjoyed teaching both
courses and have worked to continuously improve
them ever since that time. I have also substituted for
every single course in the program, so I have come
to understand just how much students learn in their
studies at the school.
The thing which I appreciate most about teaching for
Allen School is the opportunity to see students
succeed, creating better lives for themselves and
their families in the process. I am very pleased to be
a part of their success.

When I received the Educate Values Student
award, I was honored and surprised. I just
thought it was fantastic.
At the Allen School, I love helping people and
my classmates. The Allen School instructors
made it so much fun to learn. As we get older in
age, sometimes we think we are not quite ready
to start something new. My time spent at Allen
school was an excellent choice; I had a
wonderful time and I got to meet wonderful
people while creating new friendships that
hopefully will last a lifetime. The instructors
that we had were helpful and informative …
… Take my advice, if you get the urge to say “I
want to try a new career or try something new”,
The Allen School of Health Sciences is the way
to go.
Completing the Allen school training in medical
coding and billing made me so proud. I am
stepping out on faith … I will prosper and you
will too.
