Notes from readings

Un/learning abstract entry

Workshop cancelled
Wilderness first aid certificate course seems very interesting to me currently
Positive approach to children- telling them what to do, how to do it, model behavior
Attention=focus
Focusing a lot on self-care, feel like it's vital to complete any project goals
Confronting indecisiveness

What I know now

Designed/Improvised interventions

How was I intervening in the situation and why?
I needed to choose 1 direction to go with my OP because I was feeling overwhelmed and not sure what specifics to talk about.

When did I intervene and why then?
I intervened earlier this week in order to make my deadline on time.

Context

Influencing elements of the context were...

My advisor, Eden, helped me through a brief check-in meeting where we discussed what was really on my mind and how to take next actionable steps to complete my OP.

Outcomes and goals

What were the outcomes I noticed?
I noticed a lot of personal growth and understanding how to be compassionate and an authentic listener.  I also learned about my fear of being a leader to those that are near the same age as I am.

Which of these outcomes met my goals or the goals of a client:
I gained competency in Reggio Emillia based teaching as well as truly implementing an intentional conscious mindset when I arrive in the classroom.

Which of these outcomes will contribute to my long term goals or the long term goals of a client:
I really managed my time and my promises to complete this OP by 4/01/14.  

Where there any challenging and/or surprising outcomes?
The most surprising things that arised were some of the directions I want to take that deviate from what my LIPD had projected. 

Did or do any of these need remedial action and could they be seen as positive emerging directions?
I definitely view them as positive directions because they're towards bettering myself and growing as a person. 

Un/learnings

What will I do differently next time and, if I were mentoring another persion to navigate a similar situation what would my advice be?
Contact your advisor sooner, don't wait!
