Week 6 Discussion SOE115
Challenging students is important for their development and learning. When students are challenged with material slightly above their current level, it engages their brain and promotes problem solving. Teachers must find a balance between challenging material that stimulates growth and frustration. Sources recommend teachers "demand more" from students by setting doable challenges that encourage students to look ahead in their learning. Challenging students in this balanced way helps them become better learners.

The Learning Environment and Diversity of Learners
The document discusses the author's first teaching experiences at TCSHS. It describes handling 5 different classes on their first day back from vacation, with varying levels of engagement between the higher and lower sections. The author appreciated the students' participation by asking questions. TCSHS is praised for maintaining small class sizes in well-ventilated, lighted classrooms conducive to learning. The school also advocates technology use in teaching and learning, with multimedia devices, televisions, an e-library, and good supplementary books. The diversity of learners presents a challenge to sustain student excitement, but the physical learning environment is well-supported for 21st century education.
Social Regards in Teaching and Learning
The document discusses the importance of community involvement in schools. It describes a school family day event where parents, teachers, local government, and others participated in games and activities. This showed the author that every school is a miniature community that requires collaboration between various stakeholders to succeed. The author realizes teaching is a crucial role because teachers are responsible for students' success and ability to support themselves, pay taxes, and be productive citizens. Parents must also guide their children's learning to supplement what is taught in school and help them achieve their dreams.
The Mentoring Spirit
The document discusses the author's experience with their mentor during their practice teaching. They were nervous but excited to teach at Tuguegarao City Science High School. Their mentor was known to be strict but provide good strategies. During their first meeting, the mentor gave the author a teaching method to use. The author hopes their mentor will provide an orientation, explain classroom management, and communicate gently while being willing to support the author. The author believes they will learn from any mistakes and hopes their experience will be calm under the guidance of their mentor.
Community Linkages and Voluntarism
The document discusses community linkages between schools and outside communities. It states that teachers play a key role in facilitating these connections by talking both inside and outside of school. Teachers are seen as respectable members of both the student and parent community. While teachers have high social status, they are underappreciated economically. The document also discusses the author's volunteer work during their field study placement, where they helped clean laboratories and gardens at the school and performed in a Christmas program.
Educator vs
Three sentences summarizing the document:
The document discusses the differences between teachers and educators, with teachers focusing on passing on information and ensuring it is learned correctly, while true educators draw out the intelligence and abilities within students, allowing them to develop their talents. It provides several examples of educators being able to uncover the abilities in students who had been labeled or discounted, such as unlikely students winning a speech contest. The essence of teaching is creating numerous learning moments every day through an educator's actions, experience, and creativity, though current standardized testing trends have reduced teaching to testing administration.
Art of Printing: Styles and Techniques
The document discusses various print-based media and techniques, including etching, linocut, screen printing, lithography, letterpress, gravure, photocopying, laser printing, inkjet printing, desktop publishing, and 3D printing. It provides detailed descriptions and steps for different print processes like etching, linocut, screen printing and lithography. The document aims to educate about traditional and digital print media forms.
Introduction to Chemical Bonding

It provides examples of Lewis dot diagrams for elements with varying valence electron counts and introduces the concepts of ionic and covalent bonding.
The milky way’s neighborhood
Within a few million light-years of the Milky Way are several dozen galaxies that make up the Local Group, including the Andromeda Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy in the Local Group and shares many similarities with the Milky Way, such as both being large spiral galaxies of roughly the same age. Other notable galaxies in the Local Group include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which orbit the Milky Way.
The milky way
The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy that contains our solar system, including Earth. It is called the Milky Way because it appears as a dim glowing band of light in the night sky. The Milky Way is over 100,000 light years in diameter and Earth orbits around the Milky Way at approximately 128,000 miles per hour as part of the Milky Way's structure.
Nebulae, quasars,
Nebulae are clouds of gas and dust in space. There are several types including dark nebulae which appear black, reflection nebulae which glow blue from reflected starlight, and emission nebulae which glow in specific colors due to ionized gas. Quasars are extremely bright active galactic nuclei containing supermassive black holes. The first quasar, 3C 273, was discovered in the 1960s and found to be billions of light years away. Blazars are a type of quasar that emit most of their energy as gamma rays and X-rays. Quasars can be thousands of times brighter than entire galaxies and contain disks of superhot gas and jets of matter near supermassive black holes.
Galactic dust and clouds
The interstellar medium is the matter that exists between stars in galaxies, consisting of gas and microscopic dust particles. About 1% of a galaxy's mass is made up of interstellar medium. In the Milky Way, the density of the interstellar medium is about 1 atom per cubic centimeter, much less dense than Earth's atmosphere. Molecular clouds within the interstellar medium can be enormous, many light years across and containing thousands of times the mass of the Sun. The interstellar medium plays an important role in the formation of stars, planets and other astronomical objects.
Black holes in galaxies and active galaxies
Every galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. When matter falls into the black hole rapidly, tremendous amounts of energy are released. Galaxies with actively feeding black holes at their centers are called active galactic nuclei or AGNs. The luminosity of an AGN depends mainly on the rate at which matter falls into the central supermassive black hole.
More active galaxies
- About 5-10% of large galaxies contain active galactic nuclei (AGNs) or quasars, with brighter quasars being rarer.
- AGNs and quasars are important because they are extremely bright and allow astronomers to illuminate distant material between Earth and the quasar that cannot be seen directly.
- Quasar absorption lines are usually caused by interstellar gas and dust within or surrounding a galaxy, which absorbs specific wavelengths of light from the quasar.
- The Lyman-alpha forest refers to the many absorption lines seen in quasar spectra caused by hydrogen clouds along the line of sight between Earth and the quasar. Studying these clouds helps astronomers understand the distribution of gas

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Personal and Growth Development
- 1. As I dwell with this journal, I am feeling excited for the reason that one week from now practice teaching is over. My final demonstration is said and done and most especially I can turn off the alarm mode in my cellphone. Although that’s how I view this near end of my practice teaching, that doesn’t mean that the experiences I’ve got are lame. It is just the thought that teaching is really hard and one who is a beginner will really look forward to the end of it and I admit that. Actually, I don’t know why I am standing in front of young people listening of my explanations of how the universe works. Nonetheless, I am here already so what do I have to lose. I’ve always describe myself as a risk taker anyway. I am not afraid of committing mistakes because I believe that there were no such things. It’s part of the gift that God gave us- LIFE. The thing is if you happened to commit a flaw in any sort and you are open to overcome it and make it better the next time, I think that’s the essence of living this life --- to change and be changed, to inspire and be inspired, to hear and be heard. Going back to “teaching”, I can now define it as a career of unending demand of growth, development, and nourishment. As they say, once a teacher, always a student. I believe, that wise saying makes sense. It’s part of our personal growth and professional development. Before I elucidate it, it occurs to me that there is a difference between personal growth and professional development. The former is more of societal progress and the latter is more on the intellectual and procedural progress. To make progress on both is indeed a challenge. It requires a lot of effort, initiatives and most especially motivation. I believe, one can properly grow if he/she is well motivated. As for me, the motivation comes from within. The desire to continually become better is my intrinsic motivation. The acceptance of this very crucial role of honing the minds of the youth locks me into that desire. The learners deserve all the continuous education that we must have. Well, the question is, am I growing in terms of my teaching? Are my late-at-night readings and reviews worth it? I can’t answer that so I asked the opinions of my students and here are some of their answers: I’d like to quote what Shiena said “para may room for improvements”. I think that is very right. A teacher must not be a glass full of water but a glass which will never be filled up for it is always ready to accept new things and new beginnings to improve from its previous best. MY REFLECTIVE JOURNAL Cagayan State COLLEGE OF TEACHER Andrews University EDUCATION Campus “Personal Growth and Professional “…I THINK THAT’S THE ESSENCE OF LIVING THIS LIFE --- TO CHANGE AND BE CHANGED, TO INSPIRE AND BE INSPIRED, TO HEAR AND BE HEARD.”
