Abstinence experience: successes, failures, and influencing factors
This article describes my personal experience from caffeine addiction, which was brought by regular consumption of the drug through taking coffee, cocoa, and tea. The paper discusses the development of the addiction in light of its contributing factors and health risks and other effects. The second part describes the abstinence journey in terms of its challenges, overall experience, withdrawal symptoms, and eventual success.
Professional Development Plan the Design
Professional development results in a demonstrated increase in teaching staff knowledge and understanding, teaching staff skillfulness, and teaching staff professional values. Activities and experiences are assessed on an on-going and continuous basis for intended impact. Defensible evaluation tools/methods must be used to determine modifications to planned activities/experiences. Content of courses, workshops, and other professional development experiences should be directly related to enriching teacher knowledge and student learning experience.
