This was my first time participating in something that required teaching. Having no experience was scary in the beginning. I knew my strength was communication so I took that as an advantage. The first few sessions with the student were a little awkward because I was still trying to understand their syllabus but eventually I was able to help them out and use my communication skills effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was challenging to arrange weekly meetings with the student because we were both pretty busy and weren\u2019t able to find a common free slot. We tried arranging meetings in the school but that didn\u2019t work out either. I made use of my self-management skills and prioritized the student when they needed me. Instead of having in-person meetings, I arranged online meetings and provided them with materials when I couldn\u2019t help them. This way, I could improve my organization and help the student while completing my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LO3: Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since this was completely new to me, I had to create a weekly plan of how I was going to guide the student and help them out in English. I started out by understanding their syllabus and where they were facing difficulties. We were provided with some resources but I chose to use some of my own as I found them more convenient and easy to understand. I would plan one or two weekly sessions to track the student’s progress and help them accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n LO 4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Being committed was very difficult for me because I wasn\u2019t able to give much time to this program due to my assignments and submissions. I remembered that it was my responsibility to help the student out with their weaknesses and that became a driving force for me. I showed perseverance in this program by organizing myself and making the student a priority. My commitment made me realize that their success would make me very proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Evidence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Peer Learning Assistance is a program that seeks to help 9th and 10th-grade students with subjects they struggle in. As an 11th-grade student, I had the opportunity to volunteer in this program. I decided to provide help in English and was allotted a student for the same.
