Educational years

Aman reveals that whether you are an experience principal or first year assistant principal ones decision making skills are vital to their career success. It is relatively easy to make decisions that are a clear choice between right and wrong. However, there are times when certain decision that require a more in-depth process. One of the most complex decisions that Ms. Aman made this year was to decide what grade level to place Justin Miller on. Mr. Miller interviews at West…

Five Years Eighth Grade Moving has always been difficult for me, and being a navy brat didn’t help any. Eighth grade year I told my parents that I wanted to stay in Virginia and finish high school in one school system. I decided this after I realized I had spent all but kindergarten in a different school and in middle schools case, a different state for all three years. That same year they had all the eighth graders packed into a hot and stuffy auditorium to sit and…

average salaries for teachers in our district was $40,924. The range of salaries for teachers is “33, to 59 thousand dollars”. (http://www.rlisd.org/apps/pages/).These figures exclude stipends. There are a few teachers who have been there for 20 plus years who also split duties coaching duties, their salaries are above 59 thousand. Besides the teachers, we also have the other laborers in our district such as the cafeteria workers, grounds keepers, custodial crew, maintenance crew and bus…

Amy 's autobiography The first memory I have of elementary is in the first grade. I had to take that grade twice because I struggled with grasping academic concepts due to starting as a younger first grader with a late July birthday. Many years after that class my mom told me that one of my teachers said, “I would never make it into college because I was too much of a social butterfly.” The next memory I remembered is in second grade. I fractured my ankle playing tag. None of my teachers…

have achieved in the past four years. However, to properly appreciate all of our efforts, I feel it appropriate to reflect on some of the more interesting happenings of that same time interval. Therefore, this speech will summarize each of the past four years, each in a single word. The first year of our high school career can be summed up in the word “bedlam”, which is defined by the Cambridge dictionary as “complete disorder and confusion”. During freshman year, we confronted a lot of…

Growing up I never showed much interest in science it was never something I cared for. It may have to do with my teaches not showing enough interest in it either. When I do start teaching I plan on making science fun and making sure everyone has a task so they are fully engaged. Children get bored really easily especially in school, so in order to keep them interested I want to include as many fun activities as I can. I do not want to be that teacher that just reads off the textbook and only…

12 years of school seemed to go by in the blink of an eye. I can 't believe I am already about to be graduating and pursuing the rest of my life. To me, this is truly a sad time. Not because I believe high school was the highlight of my life either. I am just heavy hearted to lose contact with some of my closest friends. Elementary through high school has been a crazy exciting time, but I realize it has been this way because of the people I share all of the memories with. I started my…

When hearing the words “writing workshop,” I immediately thought about higher-grade levels such as junior and senior high schools. I pictured teachers setting aside time in class, or even a separate class, for students to work on writing papers, mechanical skills, and the process of writing in general. Yet after reading chapter one in Teaching Writing: Balancing Process and Product, I began to get the sense that the simplicity of the writing process lends itself to be applied in a variety of…

The first 12 years of my life I avoided reading or writing because I associated it with school work and if there was one thing I avoided at all cost it was that. My first year and a half of school was on a tiny island named Guam and the school was probably far, far below any standards back then. The teachers could spank the children in front of the class and my teacher in particular chose a whale bone as the weapon of choice. I think one of the hardest things was that we were not taught in…

Sharptop for the first time in 2nd grade and although I was really young, I saw what it was like to live like Jesus. I went to family camp for about 4 years, but at this point I still didn’t really have a relationship with God. My relationship and commitment with God started at my second year of Camp Vesper Point, the summer before my 6th grade year. I was all in and I’d given my life to Jesus, and I was so excited that I knew why so many people loved Jesus so much. This affect lasted for a few…
