Recently I've been focusing on the leadership aspect of schools, so I was looking into some work by Ken Blanchard. He is credited with the adoption of the concept of 'Servant Leadership' in many, if not most, organizations. It's an idea I'm interested in. However, like most ideas, the definition can vary. Here are a few articles you could review https://resources.kenblanchard.com/servant-leadership/let-s-clear-up-some-misunderstandings-about-servant-leadership

The objectives was for students to feel comfortable to play with whatever they wanted and the way a toy looks should not stop them from playing.

This number is the lowest since 2014-15 and represents a 15% year-over-year decrease from the 2019-20 school year. How will foreign student enrollment rebound post-COVID? Will changing socio-economic factors lead to further declines in foreign student enrollment? As someone heavily invested in Chinese students applying to the USA, will I need to be looking for a new niche sooner than later?

I began this course a year ago, at which point I was in the second semester of a regular Homeroom position. During the Masters portion (which I did first) I was lucky enough to still have a relaxed enough schedule that I was even able to carve out a few hours during the working day to do some of my assignments.  
After the summer I has moved into a Head of English role and the schedule started to fill out, by Semester 2 I was confirmed as the Head of Primary for next year and my schedule went into overdrive. That, combined with a desire to keep a reasonably active life outside of work with my football team, has meant there are some days where every waking minute is scheduled. 
I haven't always keep on top of things, sometimes assignments were later than I wanted, but I'm confident that I've done as well as I could. ]]> 2022-05-13 17:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183261654 Communication tomasfletcher https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183266980 Don't avoid conversation or cancel meetings after a conflict.

This activity helped everyone learn different cultures from each other. Students will not have the stereotype that Korea food is all about Kimchi, American food is all about pizza pizza or Vietnamese food is all about spring roll. Due to COVID, we were not able to bring food to the classroom and taste it, but everyone's presentation was with multiple food pictures that made us really want to try those food in the future!]]> 2022-05-14 11:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183796875 Travel and Eat Food - Amber Chin joyunchin https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183801848 Not mention that both of our name is Amber, we also like to travel!

When life is overload with work, studying , and playing different roles for family, friends and work, or there was some major situation happening, I forgot to take care of myself first. There was a period, I got lost and did not have any intension to do anything in life. I lost focus on everything including this learning journey with Moreland. I was procrastinating and just wanted to be alone. One day, I was walking in the mall, my tear came out without any reason, then I realized that there was something serious happened to me and I must fix it. Anyway, make the long story short, I got diagnosed depression. My doctor gave me medicine and suggestions of how to take care of my mental health. Now, I make sure I sleep well, eat well, make time for myself to do things I enjoy, learn to say NO so I won't spend time on things not that important and direct myself back to things that really important to me. I am now gaining the passion of learning back and trying my best to contribute the quality work for this program. ]]> 2022-05-14 13:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183841895 Keep Learning and Our Curiosity - Amber Chin joyunchin https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183847743 Never stop learning and keep our curiosity, I believe this is the key to help us grow and help students grow.]]> 2022-05-14 13:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183847743 Inquiry in PE - Djordje https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2183875517 For years I have been trying to find ways to implement inquiry process in PE lessons, which are typically seen as 'just play some sports' activity.

Then I just said to myself that it is time to take some time off and focus on my mental health more than anything.

I have really been working on stating my objectives clearly before entering into something. This is not limited to teaching, but also in my day to day conversations. At the start of the program I was super self conscious of being long winded. I have tried to change my communication style to be more objective focused and targeted, and believe this has helped me greatly with brevity.]]> 2022-05-16 12:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2185603887 My e-portfolio - Mark markpalcsak https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2185605681 You have to be signed into your Moreland account, and I am not really sure how to fix that...

At school in my office, I have an array of colored pens, sticky notes, organizers and checklists to be on top of weekly and daily tasks. On my computer, I make sure all my work and lesson plans are in their respective folders so that I can access them easily when needed.  In the age of digital technology, google calendars, task reminders and apple notes have been a great help. ]]> 2022-05-18 09:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2189183679 Time Management- Meghna Verma meghnaverma https://padlet.com/juliaflores9/rcgfm1ngz99635k2/wish/2189205072 This year has been an exceptionally busy, but productive one. I never thought I'll be able to juggle a full-time job in a brand new field of education, motherhood and a Mandarin proficiency course, all at once. I'm quite proud of myself to push my limits and making most of my time. I will feel very accomplished the day I get my teaching license. It's been a rollercoaster ride for the last nine months.
