Philosophies of nursing are statements of beliefs about nursing and expressions of morals in nursing that are used as roots for thinking and acting.

importance of philosophy in education? Education and philosophy are indeed connected together since both of them are associated with teaching, learning and discovering. Going back to the meaning of Philosophy, as one source defined- “it is something that emerges from reflection on experience yet it drives you to do things in perspective”.

The conflation of architecture and philosophy in Mies's career Philosophy helped Mies precisely to recognize these different tendencies, to test their veracity, and to develop more clearly and firmly a direction to his work.

“winner” and move away from the “win at all cost model,” fill emotional tanks giving truthful, specific praise, and honor the game (PCA, 2013). Positive coaching is a philosophy that can not only translate to wins, but also positive sport experiences and development outside of athletics (Gould & Carson, 2000; McPartlin, 2010). At my current position with a 14 regional volleyball team, I believe positive coaching is necessary. This is because the context is ideal for positive coaching because it
Since my first mock trial in the third grade, I have come to the realization that life is not black and white, but shades of grey. Law is a field that signifies this, which is why law caught my interest then and still does today. Law is complex, and as I explored the complexity of my own humanity throughout high school and college, I found my calling.

Final Reflection Being part of a learning community has affected my transition to college in many ways, from who I meet, to what classes I take, to how many resources I’m aware of. The underestimated class of 22 people has really grown to show its potential throughout these 6 weeks and i’m honored to be a part of it. First impression matter very much, especially in your first semester in college. They help you decide if you’re going to fit in, the attitude you’re going to carry with you into classes
matter what form it takes, will always be that of expression. I, like many others no doubt, find myself in the all too familiar position of being a relatively new TESOL practitioner. The result of which, is my unfamiliarity with many of the central theories on the subject in comparison to my more experienced colleagues.

values, attitudes, and emotions reflect our philosophy in life and leadership style. To be an effective leader, you must know yourself first. Self-assessment helps us identify things we need to improve. In this paper, I will discuss who I am, the leadership style that appeals to me and reflects on my philosophy of care. I will also enumerate how I will apply this leadership style in future practice in a healthcare organization. Self-Assessment and
traditional concept of curriculum was defined as “the body of subject matter prepared by the teachers for the students to learn.” The modern curriculum defines that “all experiences for learning which are planned and organized by the school.” It is my opinion that curriculum is a very dynamic process and the way of how a curriculum evolves depends on its modification, the improvements and producing positive changes.
