The handwriting grades were based on neatness and readability.…

    Learning is a teamwork effort dispersed between teachers, students, faculty, and parents. Furthermore, parents are essential for helping a child with cooperation and continuous motivation. There are many benefits listed in the textbook that involve parent involvement such as: Positive behavior, long-term achievement, conscientious homework completion, increase in attendance, and graduation rates. Additionally, with the interaction between parents and students, it is a lot easier for the teacher to deal with disruptive behavior by gaining an insight to their home life which might indicate why they are acting a certain way (Introduction to Teaching, 336). In addition to the essential parent help, there are two helpful levels that a teacher can…

    Before even entering high school, I made a decision that would ruin the next few years. Looking back, I had no idea it would have impacted me as much as it did, but even now I still wouldn’t have changed that decision. Everything that came after that decision, no matter how difficult, shaped me into who I am today, and I was able to meet some pretty amazing people and do a few things only a handful of people can say they’ve done. In elementary school, I was in the S.C.O.P.E. (Spotsylvania County Program of Enrichment) program, my county’s way of separating out students who they considered gifted and a distraction in the classroom.…

These core principles are Trust is something earned, sometimes you must think outside the box, and don’t let the bad moments outshine the good.…
