Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ

Content:   

Using what you have done so far, answer the following 5 questions (be specific and use examples).

The Pentagon:

(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?

- I got to work with a teacher I've been knowing for five years now.

(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?

- One of my pieces of research () has shown me how a teacher should know how to use psychology when it is needed. For example, when I was doing mentorship hours at Cortez a student started crying because she forgot her folder and so the teacher would just use kind and reassuring words but she also made sure the student knew not to forget her materials for class. 

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?

- Being able to have a close bond with the people at the school I'm doing my mentorship at.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?  

- I wanted to get a mentorship at an health organization that worked with psychologists but finding one where I could get mentorship was hard. As for finding forensic science based field (I needed to pay a lot of money in order to get into the Forensic Academy).

(5) Finding Value: 

•  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ)

- How can psychology be used in an educational foundation? 

•  What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to to find it.

- My mentorship will be at Cortez Elementary School although I would've really liked to have gotten in a forensic field. My mentor is a 3rd grade teacher named Mrs. Smith.
