All the instructors I interacted with took pride in being good at what they did and making sure you were not only able to perform the skills but also be confident in doing so. Both me and my sister graduated from this program and both of us very highly recommended. I feel ready for my NREMT and know I can come to them for help as I move forward in my career. If you are hesitant at all about entering the medical field and or not sure what to do after, they are willing and able to guide you through the steps. As well as talk to you about what kinds of doors that programs like this can open for you.

Even before the program concluded, I had four job offers already from four different offices. The demand for dental assistants is high and that is why you should be excited about becoming a dental assistant! GGSDA will provide the foundation to your start as a dental assistant and beyond in the dental field! Oh yeah, I had no experience in the dental field prior to enrolling. 10 weekends later, I'm working in one of the top dental offices in the East Bay! Well, was it worth it?! What do you think?! :) If you have any questions, they will respond to you! Just send them a text/email!

We're expecting our first child and want to be as prepared as possible. Taking an infant/child CPR…read moreclass made our short list of things to do. I searched for various options and Anna's version is practical for parents (not necessarily meant for folks who are looking to get certified) and cost effective. On the day of the class, we met in an auditorium with about 16 others; most of whom are new parents/parents-to-be like us. Anna had infant and child size dolls for us to practice on and she stressed the importance of muscle memory. We started with handling choking scenarios and then moved onto the CPR. Everyone had plenty of opportunities to practice and ask questions. I hope that we will never have to use the skills we learned in Anna's class but at the very least, it makes us feel more comfortable knowing what to do in case our baby needs us.

Sometimes it is difficult to find a table, but when you do you are pretty much set. The SLC has a lot more outlets, that it had in previous years. This is also a great place to get tutoring which ranges from English to Stats to Chemistry. I am glad the restroom got renovated, it is actually a bit cleaner now! It is also great that the GBC is there, for quick snacks. P.S. everyone goes to the SLC, so you will most likely run into someone you know here.

The SLC offers a variety of free tutoring services in economics, math, statistics, chemistry, and many other subjects. My personal favorite service is the writing center.

CONS: can be crowded, many of the tables are reserved for tutoring

Richmond Field Station is a UC Berkeley-owned plot of land in Richmond near the bay. It hosts a…read morevariety of labs and other facilities.. it even has an earthquake testing thing! I think the EPA occupies some of the buildings as well. I've worked in a School of Public Health lab at Richmond Field Station since June 2010. Basically, it's just a giant field with a eucalyptus grove and a lot of bungalow-looking buildings. So why go to RFS if you don't work there? It has an awesome view of the bay and the San Francisco skyline! Additionally, there is some interesting ecosystem restoration work going on there. A blasting cap factory used to operate the land, and there are efforts now to restore parts of it back to its marshy roots. There are also some open fields and perhaps a library of sorts? To be honest, I haven't ventured too far out of my lab's corner of RFS. There is a campus bus route that runs to RFS during normal working hours. Unfortunately, you can't use your Cal1 Card to take the shuttle for free (why?!), so it costs $1.50. Or, you can just drive there! As far as I can tell, the gates are open from about 8-5 Monday to Friday. After that, you need a card to enter.

REALM = Revolutionary Education And Learning Movement. They have a 6-8 grade middle school and a 9-12 grade high school (currently enrolling just 6th & 7th grade & 9th & 10th grades). Located on the corner of Addison and 8th st in West Berkeley, off University. MISSION: to cultivate resiliency, develop critical thinking skills, advance knowledge through rigorous studies, and equip students to serve our communities and the world in the 21st century. Realm Charter School will serve diverse urban students in grades 6-12 using a student-centered model that features project-based learning, an emphasis on technology, research and action on concerns in the community and activities that develop emotional resiliency. VISION: to increase academic achievement and social responsibility by creating authentic and challenging learning environments based on four central program elements: (1) project-based learning, (2) immersive technologies, (3) mindfulness in education (Transformative Life Skills), and (4) participatory action research. We seek to develop in each student the ability and passion to work wisely and creatively in order to become life-long learners with the skills necessary to contribute to the betterment of humankind. This will be accomplished by immersing our teachers and students in authentic and virtual learning environments that require collaboration, inquiry, critical thinking, ingenuity, imagination, and active problem-solving. PHILOSOPHY: REALM is designed to be a project-based, technology-rich learning environment that promotes critical and socially responsive perspectives. This means that students will learn to think about the world as a set of interconnected systems that can be affected through rigorous studies and action. Students will navigate and create complex information networks, virtual worlds, and immersive learning environments by utilizing emerging technologies. Moreover, through culturally relevant instruction and curricula, students will recognize and own their ability to shape our world and to better humanity.
