Blog 10:EQ

I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

A) No, because it isn't a question that requires much thinking or in depth research. It doesn't have enough framework.

B) Yes, because it meets all three requirements. It's not just a simple answer that the audience can google. When you think about it you consider all factors that could go wrong so you don't know the answer right away.

C) Yes, because it's clear and makes sense but also makes you wonder what the answer might be. Specifically for this question because every customer is different so you just can't answer this question in one way.

D) No, because I feel that it doesn't take a stance or that once you find the answer that you can see both sides of.

In what way can a special education advisor best help her students complete their academic goals?

Blog 5: Mentorship and Research Reflection

1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship?  If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.

It was actually really easy for me to find a mentor for my Senior Project because my mentor just so happens to be my aunt. Growing up I always knew that she was a teacher at Montclair High School but I never really knew anything more than that. She's always been interested in the things that I would tell her about Ipoly concerning the groups,projects and homework. So when the time came to do my 10 hours of mentorship for the summer I started talking to her about it. I explained all the details to her and that's when she suggested that I do my hours with her. At first I was worried because I didn't know what she actually did but after completing my mentorship hours, I think that pursuing a career in Special Education Advisory is something I would enjoy doing. It is definitely something that I had never considered before but am now looking into.

2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?

I think that the most important article that I've read so far is an article called "Special Education Teacher Career Facts and Working Environment." by the Career Education Advisor. It has helped me the most out of all my other articles because it provides more detail and description. The article not only tells me the general idea of this job but always goes in depth and gives examples.

Blog 3:Topic Choice and Working EQ

Blog 1: 2 hour presentation

1.  What presentations did you see?
I saw about 20 different presentations but only a few stood out the most for me. One presentation that really grasped my attention was the karate one because she had set up the room like a real karate dojo. Another one that stood out to me was the occupational therapy where she really presented us with facts.
2.   What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? This can be about the senior project in general, any components or about a presentation topic you saw or what they said. 
I don't have many questions about the senior project but I would like to know how the rubric or grading scale works. 
3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?
I think that the most important part of the 2 hour presentation is the hook activity or opening statements because if you can't get the attention of your audience then you're not presenting to anyone but yourself.4. What topic are you considering doing and why?
I am still undecided about what topic I am choosing for my presentation.5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?
I can't decide on my mentorship until I decide on my topic.
