Placement+Reflction+Week+Five

Placement Reflection: Week Five JOURNAL RESPONSES
 * How are you going to show initiative in your job this week? How are you going to see something to do? How are you going to ask your employer if you can do a task that might not have been asked of you? (This would only happen if you are done the jobs you have been asked to do).
 * A new employee has come into your workplace. You are in charge of teaching them the ropes. Your supervisor tells you not to miss anything when teaching the new person but nothing else but that. What are you going to do? List all the steps that you will tell the person about your job. You have to remember to included, safety, work hours, rules and regulations, coffee breaks, start and stop times, etc.... anything that is applicable to your workplace.

I think this week I will ask my placement teacher if there are any subjects I can teach. I think it would be a really new and exciting experience to teach the kids something, instead of doing one on one work. I would probably (after finishing all other tasks) ask if sometime this week I could teach the class a lesson or like be included in the lesson.

I really like how it feels when I get put in charge that she has faith in me to teach her class. I think it has definitely given me a confidence boost. I feel like I have learned to be more patient and understanding, because like these kids aren't to my intelligence level and their little, they get distracted and just really want to have fun and goof around. I think it helps me a lot to just stop, breath and calmly get their attention.

So if a new employee came into my work place, I would first probably show them around. You need to know your way around, I would explain where were allowed to be, where were not, what each room is used for and where everything is stored. I would go over restrictions, dress code, like you have to be covered, (for girls) no cleavage, no short skirts or shorts, and your shirt/dresses must cover your shoulders.(for guys) you have to actually wear your pants like above your knees, no kid wants to see your underwear, no hats, and no matter your gender you cant wear gang toss ups, or shirts with drug symbols, common sense would kind of cover it.

Proper behavior's, so calm, patient, be calm and nurturing but make sure your aware that your teaching them not being their best friend. I think I would take longer on explaining the photocopier like that things a beast. I would also show them some of the classrooms and give them a run down on some of the kids, explain their situations, and I most definitely would tell them about the frog in the office way.

You would have to be into work on time and make good use of your time. make sure you stay involved because as soon as you zone out and lose interest that's it your out of the loop for the rest of that class. Some recesses you'll be required to go out and supervise, so I would explain to them that its okay to play with them, but don't get so wrapped up in playing that you don't know what's going on around you.
