One concept which I want to remember is that choice is the key to motivating writers. I want to remember this concept because I believe choice is necessary to allow writers to use their previously experience and interests to feel engaged while writing. Additionally, I believe the concept of choice can also be used to motivate reading as well. This is significant because I believe when a topic correlates with the student interests or experience they are able to use a more expansive conceptual framework when writing. Therefore, I have always personally enjoy reading or writing more the more I am able to make connections to my personal experience, interests, or ideology. Conclusively, I believe when choice is given in writing or reading it is easier for the students to engage with the learning experience.
Another term I felt important in this chapter was immersion. Immersion, in the context of learning, is allowing oneself to experience a variety of experiences or topics. I want to remember immersion because I have to realize as an educator not every student has the same experience. Therefore, the students might never be immerse in different experiences or perspectives in their life. Additionally, I think immersion is significant for learners because it is important for people to

Teaching ELL's can be a very challenging aspect of a teaching job. Not only are teachers working with children who are scared, nervous and perhaps confused, but educators are working with students who may be encountering a great deal of culture shock.

Looking back from when I began my career, I can say I came a long way learning the concepts of understanding the expectations that arose from all my positions. In my first job just after graduating, I was appointed as a Business Accountant of a multinational company. Since then, I was caught in the myth that people who were in leadership positions or high ranking were leaders. Being in a junior position, I could have the least effect on any new ideas as my voice seems to have landed in deaf ears. I have seen how those businesses were not in line with their Missions and Values only to find later that many of the staff had left the company.
I believe that Excel can enhance the younger generations math learning skills. I think that as long as the basic math skills of calculating numbers are learned and mastered first, then Excel can be of a great benefit in the development of the critical thinking skills that are necessary to implement all of the different formulas. I believe that this kind of critical thinking that is required to realize how to formulate the data is a very important skill to develop. I do think that the younger generations and everyone else's calculating skills become a "little rusty" because of continually relying on Excel to do all of the calculating instead of doing the math out longhand, but this can occur even through the use of calculators. I think Excel

It does so by offering services to caregivers that prevent or shorten costly nursing home placements, relieving financial strain, and providing educational programs to give a better understanding of aging. However, due to insufficient funding OAA services have restricted access and cannot reach all the elderly in need. Statistical demographics reveal that 27% of seniors that are receiving services are below the poverty line, recipients are more likely to be female (71% vs 57%), twice as likely to be rural, more likely to live alone, have less income, less educated, and less healthy than the average senior (Herrera 2013).

She found that only 62 percent of the work submitted to her was for classes; the rest of the material was “Life writing”.
