Yo estudie para ser docente porque necesitaba una profesión. Cuando comencé
la carrera no sabía con que me iba a encontrar. He pasado momentos buenos y malos,
pero siempre pude salir adelante.
Después de cuatro años de esfuerzo y dedicación, llegué al fin del objetivo
propuesto: SER DOCENTE. De ahí en más, empezó otra etapa de mi vida.
Me considero una persona muy sociable lo cual hace que la relaciones con los

This document discusses strategies for teaching Chinese language and culture through performance-based learning. It argues that culture and language cannot be separated and must be taught through active participation in meaningful cultural activities, not just passive exposure. Students learn best by rehearsing and enacting common social situations, and receiving feedback to improve their culturally appropriate language use and behaviors over multiple iterations. This process moves learning from conscious to automatic through layered memory and allows students to develop new cultural skills needed to interact successfully in Chinese contexts.

INICIACIÓN EN EL CAMPO SOCIO-PROFESIONAL DE LA DOCENCIA EN EL CONTEXTO SOCIO-...ProfessorPrincipiante
El presente trabajo da cuenta de una parte de los resultados de un trabajo de investigación1 que se estructuró en torno al interés por conocer cómo se entretejen los mandatos sociales que recaen sobre la docencia con las significaciones que los estudiantes van construyendo acerca de la profesión docente a lo largo de su biografía de formación, en la configuración de una identidad profesional. A partir de los aportes teóricos provenientes del campo de la psicología social, en sus vertientes grupal e institucional, se abrodó la pregunta relativa a ¿cuáles son los procesos y los elementos relevantes que intervienen en la conformación de la identidad docente en los estudiantes de profesorado?
La conceptualización de las nociones de identidad, subjetividad colectiva, procesos de formación y práctica (docente) permitieron el abordaje teórico de esta pregunta. El trabajo de campo estuvo diseñado para producir un material empírico (con entrevistas, trabajos grupales, registros de clase) que permitiera tener acceso a las prácticas y discursos de los practicantes de licenciatura en Educación Primaria de la Benemérita Escuela Nacional de Maestros.

Stress selfishness and selflessness dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarbanothkishan
This document discusses stress that arises from selfishness and the transition to selflessness. It argues that practicing and propagating the remembrance of God's name (Namasmaran) can help expedite the stressful transition from selfishness to selflessness by reducing cravings and desires. Propagating Namasmaran amounts to promoting selflessness over dehumanizing forces and helps create an environment where all needs are optimally fulfilled to facilitate the shift from selfishness to considering others.
Stress writing and reading dr. shriniwas kashalikarbanothkishan
Total stress management is difficult to articulate and share effectively due to its complexity. It addresses stress and tensions holistically rather than through reductionist or escapist approaches. Sharing concepts related to total stress management, such as NAMASMARAN, is challenging as it does not provide instant gratification like sharing other topics. One must persist patiently in sharing total stress management while remembering that it is a holistic solution, though difficult to comprehend and practice.

The document discusses international experiences with education voucher programs in Chile, Colombia, and Sweden. In Chile, the voucher program led to a decrease in total education spending and increased social stratification.

Sweden introduced vouchers in 1992 that allowed public funding to follow students to public or private schools, increasing school choice.

Subject: Our Life’s Discovery Tutoring Program
During our Creating Change seminar you gave us all a challenge to create a new Corporate Social Responsibility program that would benefit our local Silver Spring, MD community as well as Discovery Communications. With the achievement gap affecting minorities in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), Discovery should consider utilizing its educational products and services towards an after school employee volunteer tutoring program for struggling students. A program such as this one would not only help these students but it will also give Discovery a competitive advantage as well as favorable publicity within the community. The following investigation and examination indicates how such a project could be organized.
Achievement Gap
In the last decade MCPS has made many strides to close the achievement gap between minorities and their fellow white/asian students. The MCPS achievement gap is closely related to a student’s ethnicity, race and income level. The MCPS system is divided between its advanced high schools where White and Asian students attend; and its low-scoring ranked minority high schools. Most of these low performing schools are located in Silver Spring, Md. According to the findings of the County Council’s Office of Legislative Oversight found in MCPS website, “Since 2010, the economic, racial and ethnic stratification of students among MCPS high schools has increased . . . the achievement gap between high- and low-poverty high schools has widened [since 2008] ” (p. 9). Achieving as well as maintaining high grades in these schools is increasingly harder for struggling students of all walks of life, leading several students to drop out and forgo continuing their education.
Nevertheless MCPS states on their website, they will narrow the gap by adding more teachers. As well as decrease classroom sizes specifically in high schools [where there is more need], this will allow a more focused attention to students who are experiencing difficulty in school (p.1). Under these circumstances, creating an after school-tutoring program would be most beneficial to the community. Together with focusing MCPS’s resources on failing students, we can increase MCPS’s chances of lowering the achievement gap. Correspondingly, struggling students will experience a sense of community through our program as well as giving them the confidence needed to engage in becoming active participants in furthering their education.

CASE is a new advising center at East Tennessee State University that aims to redefine the advising experience for students, but faces challenges with lack of awareness and negative perceptions of advising. As a department of ETSU, CASE has begun social media and email outreach but would benefit from expanding their presence and creating a distinct image to better connect with their target audiences of freshman and sophomore students. This campaign proposal from Daffodil Communications analyzes CASE's situation and makes recommendations to raise awareness, improve relationships, and expose students to CASE's resources through social media, events, and other public relations tactics.

Keystone College Students’ Perceptions of Career Development and Use of Caree...Joseph Croft
This research pertains to the perceptions of career development of students at Keystone College, as well as their use of career services at the College. The study primarily looks at how much value students place in career development and what services they are using.
This document summarizes research conducted on the Grand Valley State University Career Center. Secondary research found that effective career centers provide services like career counseling, resume help, job search resources, and networking opportunities. A focus group of GVSU students found that while they were generally familiar with campus, their current jobs did not align with their career goals. The GVSU Career Center offers standard services but needs strategies to increase student awareness and ensure students feel adequately supported.
University Career Services Market Research ProjectEdwin Arguelles
The document discusses a survey conducted by a marketing class to help University Career Services and the Career Peers program understand student awareness of their services and how to better promote them. The survey found that over half of students were aware of Career Peers but only a third had used their services. It was recommended that Career Peers promote through social media like Twitter, partner with other campus groups, promote at sporting events, and emphasize how their services can help students get internships to increase student engagement.
This presentation was designed for a project 3.3 in my English 333 class (technical writing). The project was given to the class with the goal of addressing an issue in the community. The issue I addressed was the lack of a proper mentor-ship program at University of Southern Mississippi.
Similar to Youth Workforce Initiative January Newsletter (11)
1. January Newsletter
One of the biggest challenges faced by many of you has been the level of work
readiness of incoming student interns. Our January newsletter focuses in on this issue
and highlights two initiatives that are helping students excel in their internships and
prepare them for the complexities of the working world. Read on to find out more about
how Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center is augmenting their student
internships in order to meet the special needs of their student population, and what
you need to do if you want to replicate their program (hint: it’s easier than you might
think). Also, read on to learn more about how your concerns spurred the creation of a
new work readiness initiative at CPS/CTE, spearheaded by our own Delisa Johnson.
REMINDERS & ACTION ITEMS

PARTNER UPDATES
Work Readiness and the Student Internship Experience
Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth: A Special Program Profile
As a long-time partner of the Chicago Youth Workforce Hospital High School
2. Initiative (CYWHHSI), Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center provides
CPS/CTE students from North Grand with multiple opportunities to explore
healthcare related careers before graduation. By the time students are ready for their
senior internship/externship experience with Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth, most
have a base level of familiarity with the facility and multiple departments and
professionals, because they will have already attended a site visit and participated in
a job shadow day experience.
However, even though many students have been exposed to the complex working
environment of the hospital prior to beginning their internship/externship at Presence
St. Mary and Elizabeth, most have never had the opportunity to speak or work with
professionals in a healthcare setting for any length of time. “When they come to us,
many of them do not know how to maintain eye contact during a conversation, they
are timid and they are shy,” said Melissa Vazquez, BSN, RN and Community
Engagement Specialist for Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center. In
order to address these issues with students and help them to have a successful
internship/externship, Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center developed a
unique etiquette program that augments their 8-12 week experience at their facility.
While the etiquette program is centered on providing students with the opportunity to
gain knowledge about professional communication and conflict resolution, one of its
ultimate objectives is to build up the students’ self-esteem and give them the
confidence they need to engage in conversations with their peers, other adults and
professionals. “Many of our students’ will not have the opportunity to have an
experience like this in any other setting,” said Gladys Aguirre RN, BSN, and Manager
of the Health Education Department, at Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth Medical
Center. According to the Illinois Report Card, over 98% of the students at North
Grand are considered low income, and almost a quarter do not have the English
skills necessary to successfully participate in class activities. Many of the student
interns at Presence St. Mary are also required to be caregivers themselves to
parents, siblings and grandparents, making internship completion even more difficult
and the development of time management and communication skills such as those
covered by the etiquette program even more important.
Understanding the time constraints and busy schedules of their students the
etiquette program at Presence St. Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center has been

Addressing Partner Concerns: A New Work Readiness Initiative Comes to
CPS
Delisa Johnson, CTE Partnership Development Liaison, launches work readiness Initiative in partnership with
Junior Achievement of Chicago
Over the last few years, some of you have voiced concerns over the ability of your student
interns to assimilate into the working world. In many instances, you have reported that students
struggle with professional communication, conflict resolution and time management, all skills
critical to professional success. “We have lost partners due to students not calling or showing
4. up to their internship,” reports Delisa Johnson, a veteran Partnership Development Liaison
(PDL) for Chicago Public Schools. In direct response to CYWHHI partner concerns, Delisa, in
her role as PDL, has spearheaded a new partnership with Junior Achievement of Chicago to
launch a comprehensive work readiness initiative for CPS students participating in Career and
Technical Education programs. “We want to get ahead of this issue early, in as strategic of a
way as possible,” said Delisa Johnson.
Junior Achievement of Chicago, is a local area nonprofit focused on helping young people
become financially literate, preparing them for the workplace and inspiring innovation and
entrepreneurship, so that they can plan for their future and be successful. In partnership with
CTE, Junior Achievement of Chicago will provide eight in-school sessions for CPS/CTE
students centered around topics such as communication and conflict resolution, integrity,
communication and networking, and the art of resume building and interviewing. While some of
the current CTE curriculum touches on work readiness, the new program will be led by an
industry expert and will take a more impactful and concentrated approach. During each session
students will participate in interactive activities, team building exercises and role playing. In
order to provide all students with a tailored experience, each session will be limited to 25
participants.
The new work readiness initiative is set to launch on February 15th 2016 in five high-need high
schools including: Simeon, CVCA, Dunbar, Julian and Prosser. Upon evaluation of the pilot,
Delisa and Junior Achievement of Chicago hope to expand the program to all CTE schools the
following year.
Delisa Johnson has been working in the field of education for over 15 years. As a former Elementary and High
School teacher, she brings first hand knowledge about the needs of students, teachers and schools to her
current position as Partnership Development Liaison with Career and Technical Education at CPS. She is well
known in the field for her innovative and dedicated approach to helping students be successful both in and out
of school. Questions related to the new partnership can be directed to dtjohnson@cps.edu
