By evaluating candidates based on their actual capabilities and passion for their chosen field, Unpad aims to identify and welcome exceptional students who can contribute significantly to their respective disciplines and society as a whole.

Closing Thoughts

The Independent IUP Path at Universitas Padjadjaran offers a unique opportunity for individuals to realize their academic aspirations beyond conventional academic qualifications.

This honestly still upsets me to this day

I used to volunteer at a place tutoring under priveledged kids from low income areas and I thought for childhood cancer awareness month(september) it would be cool to get the kids to write and or draw cards to the kids in hodpitsls. I explained it would just be a very simple explanation of making get well cards for sick lodd.

I also in mu free time write get well letters to newly diagnosed cancer patients. They have a guide for people who Wang to volunteer in groups so I sent thqt over to the woman in charge. I made my own simplified short powerpoint to dhsre too with example of cards.

Her response was cancer is too much of an adult concept gor kids.

I was diagnosed with cancer at age 8. I felt so alone and isolated from kids my age. It felt like no one my age understood or cared. It was the most alone I ever felt.

Disabilities medical conditions etc are NOT too mature for kids.

In fact they normalize being different in society. They comfort those kids who are struggling with these conditions or disabilities.

I know I should have pushed harder on it but I was so over educating people who didn't want to listen. I'm back at it now (not volunteering there but pushing back) that I know how to speak up for myself and be more articulate.

Here's the thing about politics, and ultimately, the world: you are going to be biased, and you are going to have a limited understanding of others to an extent. The key is to not deny that this exists because you will be ignorant when you are biased and limited in your worldview.

Yes, absolutely listen to multiple voices and points of view and a variety of different types of people. But know that this isn't the same as erasing all biases and "self-centered" views. Strive to do better without denying that you are fallible.

#politics #this is how growth happens too #it is natural to be almost self-centered because you both live with yourself but also view the world as a self/selves #and it IS better to strive to remember inclusivity and sensitivity but that doesn't mean that you will NEVER betray those goals... #...and that's not because you are Bad Person Number One but rather because you are fallible... #...you will try your best and sometimes fall flat on your face regardless. that's the POINT of being alive... #...what you do is recognize that you're fallible and learn how you fumbled and remember that for next time... #...arm yourself with that knowledge and you will be better for it. #you can never reach this magical point where you Never Do Wrong because that Doesn't Exist #so what you do is learn. and keep learning. and challenging yourself. and not blame yourself for being an Actual Person #i would rather somebody stumble but ultimately mean well and actually learn than somebody who assumes that... #...'oh well because i say i believe and do Good Things that means i'll NEVER do ANYTHING bad EVER' #inspired by me realizing that a question i had stemmed from a limited worldview because i live As Me and don't know anything else truly #even i am fallible much to my chagrin (lighthearted)

‘Obi-Wan’s Padawan haircut was SO horrible I-‘ imma stop you there. Once more. Your ick is not my ick. I thought he looked boyish and mischievous and it suited him. And I hated the Jesus cut (whenever people call it a mullet I cry you have never seen a mullet in your life) and I don’t need to mention it every ten seconds. You are ALLOWED to hate it. But just remember, you hating something doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Inclusive Learning

Remembrance Day was right around the corner during Exploration C. The two most common activities I saw were colouring poppies and reciting poetry. Even though every student had the same goal, they all met it at different rates — something I have seen before and expect. No two students are entirely the same and a single classroom can have great variances in ability. Most of the teachers I talked to during Exploration C spoke to this and I see it as well in my job as a tutor. 

What is different and daunting for me is that as a tutor, the majority of my teaching is done one on one and accommodations and modifications can be made easily because of the small scale. But how does it work in a classroom setting where every individual has different needs and prowess? The poppy activity I have asked my presentation group to do was my attempt to create an activity that would contain elements the Big 5.

I gave them the same assignment, which was to create a poppy for a small Remembrance Day wreath.

I gave different materials that can be used — markers, crayons, tissue paper and scissors, and a template. 

But is it enough? My assignment is simple and low stakes yet made me realise that even something that seems straightforward can present challenges to certain students. What about students with low motor function? Will they be able to colour in a poppy? Will it be fun and challenging for students who are adept at colouring? How can I scale an assignment to do all of these things at once? 

Even though I have been given a definition of the Big 5 and a general understanding of it, the term is very new to me. I feel like I am only beginning to understand how to create a lesson plan that contains UDL. I have tried to here, by giving different methods and materials that can be used to reach the same goal, 

Then again, I am not alone in my confusion over what UDL is. Edyburn’s 2010 article talks about misunderstanding UDL as solely architecture based or conflating the use of technology as implementation of UDL or even dismissing UDL as being inherently good teaching. He claims that UDL is a skill which must be taught. Whether or not there is basis in that claim, I would seize further opportunities to learn about implementing UDL in the classroom.

I think the first step in practicing UDL in the classroom will vary from class to class, student to student. Every student is different, which means I will have times when I need to be flexible and accommodate where needed, or watch out for patterns in behaviour and study. Basically, things like student interviews, parent interviews, and working with IEPS as well as support staff will be necessary to make sure that all students have a way to demonstrate their learning. 

I work part time as a tutor at Kumon, an after school program that helps students with their math and reading. My primary focus is with what we call the Early Learner group. They range anywhere from ages 4 to 7. Some of them have undiagnosed learning disabilities or behavioural issues while some of them have been diagnosed. The program itself has a strict curriculum and set of expectations for the kids. There is a poster in the classroom that shows what the correct posture should be when seated at a desk. It is a both feet on the ground, no slouching or rocking the chair, type of deal.

A good amount of my students have trouble with this arrangement. They like to wriggle and squirm and move around. Since learning about the Big 5, I wonder if it is more beneficial to let them move more rather than enforcing a strict seating style, especially in the students with ADHD designations. I find myself being more lax in the arrangement as long as they still manage to finish their assignment and it is not detrimental to the task at hand. 

The program is definitely limited in terms of the Big 5. The most that I can do in terms of accommodations is giving a student more time or less pages. Since it is in a worksheet format, it does not offer different ways for them to show their knowledge. I have a younger student who has attention issues and enjoys reading but fails to demonstrate her grasp on math through the program. As a result, we have reduce most of her math work to a minimal amount. However, I wonder all the time if there is some way for her to show how much she does know about math that does not necessarily follow the standard quantified form Western education asks for. She has a lot of personality and is bright, just very stubborn when it comes to doing her math. 

Kumon does work for a lot of students. I have seen great progression in terms of math and reading skills throughout the time I have been here. However, now more than ever, I can see that just because one thing works for the majority, there will always be some for whom it does not. 

I also wrote a reflection on disability earlier in the semester where I talked about growing up in a culture that either pitied people with disabilities or designations or outcast them. I continue to work on unlearning these perceptions. When I work with students with disability, one thing becomes clear to me: they are capable of so much.

During Exploraction C, the IEP director at Salish Secondary also spoke to me about how they try to keep students with designations in the classrooms, even though it sometimes places greater demand on teachers, because the students end up helping them too. It builds a sense of community. 

What I would love to be able to do as an educator is create that type of environment where there is not only diversity, but diversity of all kinds thriving. I want for my students to be able to succeed and give them the tools to do so within this society while also making them feel like they belong regardless of how they learn or what their differences may be.
