Learner Development

I had the opportunity to gain
an understanding of the
development of learners in my
ehavior !anagement course at
!adonna "niversity during my
#inter $%1& semester' I was
provided with a variety of scenario
e(periences that can ta)e place in
an actual educational setting, which
is the ne(t best thing to actually
being the in the classroom' I was
able to learn from these e(periences
and gain s)ills when wor)ing with
others in my future career'
The scenarios placed me in a
classroom that ranged from
elementary to high school' *ach
scenario we read individually, then
loo)ed more carefully in a small
team, and +nally it was presented to
a larger group for more
collaboration and ideas on what to
do in each situation' *veryone had
di,erent ideas and strategies to
share with one another, which
allowed me to see other points of
view and re-ect on my own' After
the discussion of each scenario, we
would come to a +nal consensus
about what the main problem was,
what could be done to solve it, and
how it can be prevented in the
future'
Refection

This was a bene+cial e(perience
because it gave me the opportunity
to put myself into a real life
classroom situation and +gure out
di,erent strategies to use that
would help with student behavior'
#o)ing in a small group and then
moving into a large group allowed
me to gain collaborative s)ills which
provided me with proactive ideas
and strategies that I had not though
of on my own' This e(perience
allowed me to gain problem solving
s)ills and cooperative learning s)ills
that will ultimately help me be able
collaborate with families,
communities, colleagues, and other
professionals to promote learner
growth and development in my
future classroom.
