Imagine it’s the year 1958, you are a teacher at post-secondary level. There are about 100 or so students in your class. What if you wanted to give them a work sheet full of problems to do or even a test? To do this, every test or work sheet would have to be written out by hand. Students and teachers alike have the invention of the photo copier in 1959 to thank for getting rid of this daunting task (Purdue University). A machine as simple as a photo copier or a project can help students and…

This pull-out schedule is an excerpt of a longer pull-out schedule. The current schedule is a model for the longer pull-out schedule. The longer pull-out schedule would incorporate multiple reading and math pull-out section with different students with a range of ability levels. Each pull-out section would be one hour long and incorporate the same break down of components as the ones modeled above. The difference between these different pull-out groups is the lessons that are being taught…

I am writing to our local school board and administration to consider implementing SMART Board technology usage into the K-8 classroom settings at my local elementary school, St. Mary’s Academy. In the preschool setting I believe this to be a very beneficial tool that could help enhance the learning of students in the classroom. This technology would provide the opportunity for children to learn collaboratively and to use technology to build their skills in language, math, art, and culture. In…

Volunteering is a great way to gain experience for a career and to give back to the community. I was eager to explore the volunteer options and ready for the experience. It is an eye-opening experience and provides such insight and I was excited to volunteer to help students with special needs. I chose to volunteer in an Autistic Support classroom at East Goshen Elementary School. When I was searching for a place to volunteer it was overwhelming because there were many choices. All I knew is I…

both across the room from the door. The first bulletin board will be all about PBIS. I can’t reinforce the importance of my belief in PBIS. The board will have information on it for parents, staff and students. The second bulletin board will be an interactive board for students to use. It will based on current and upcoming lessons. The board will contain activities for the students to engage…

When you are in a school that has seven different second grade classrooms, you can’t help but to notice changes inside and outside the classroom. At the same time when you have students change classes based on their current math level, you would think that students in each classroom are homogeneous when it comes to status level. I am currently in a classroom that is teaching above grade level math, meaning that the second graders in that classrooms are learning material that third graders are…

We live in a world dominated by technology. Does this necessarily mean the classroom should be dominated by technology as well? That is what school administrators around the world are asking themselves. I do not think it is a simple yes or no answer. One must question as to whether the pros outweigh the cons. In my opinion, the benefits that students and professors receive from technology on a collegiate level, such as Elearn and Turnitin, surpass the harmful effects technology has in a…

My room should be a nurturing environment that applies a variety of approaches to the learning a disciplinary process. Students should have well guided individual instruction that is necessary to…
