There are several students in the class that have interested me so far. But there is one little boy named Kevin who I have noticed has interested me the most because of how he acts in the class and works with the other students. He is a very sweet boy who I have noticed at times does have a hard time with school work but knows he has the teacher and aids to help him with the struggles of these. I have had the opportunity to watch him grow and become better at certain things since I have been observing and I have been able to help him one-on-one with his personal goals. What drew my attention towards him is that I noticed he is out of seven students who struggles the most with getting their work done during the day and making sure he pays attention also. Kevin is 6 years old and is in 1st grade. Since I did not know anything about the ethnics, linguistics and socio-economic background of Kevin I had to ask the teacher for this information. She was willing to give me some information but some of …show more content…
One way it has helped shape my educational philosophy is that when I become a teacher I want to be able to come in right in the beginning of the year and pay attention to the kids who interest me most based off of how they learn and seeing if they are strong learners or weak learners. By doing this I will then as a teacher make sure to accommodate the students who are different learners by making the environment in the classroom comfortable for them and I will make sure to accommodate all the lessons and activities for the different learners in the class. I will also make sure to pay attention the students who may come from a different socio-economic background and see how they learn in the class. If I don’t pay attention to these type of things in the classroom I will not succeed as a successful teacher for my

    The Hatred Within Summary

    The teacher must not only focus on lessons and subject content, but also on the development of all students. This entails not only just the classroom, but wherever they are in the school. He or she must be cognizant of what is going on around them at all times. As such, one must be sensitive to students, aware of different groups, and the interaction between those groups and other students. The teacher must be observant of student development and unusual behavior, however slight it may be.…

    Comparing Halasz And Kaufman's Theory Of Rationalization And Mcdonaldization

    The two articles are similar in that they both discuss power. Halasz and Kaufman’s article talks about the theory of cultural capital and symbolic violence. Which emphasizes that those with the most knowledge have the most power. This is similar to Gebhard’s article as the Canadian government were the ones with knowledge and power when they decided to remove Aboriginal peoples from their homes and communities and send them to residential schools. This process of educating Aboriginals according to Euro-Canadian ideals which was discussed in the article is similar to the theory of rationalization and McDonaldization.…

    Courageous Conversations About Race By Glen E. Singleton

    What I learned As a Caucasian middle classed women in a town predominantly composed of individuals similar to me, I have fortunate enough to have faced very little discrimination in daily aspects of my life, including education. For this reason, I find myself at a disadvantage in terms of teaching to an increasingly diverse population. As a case in point, Glen E. Singleton, author of Courageous Conversations about Race, stated, “I don’t know what I don’t know” whilst discussing the matter of race. Put simply, I understand that I cannot possibly know everything about another culture; and I may lack the understanding, or misconstrue certain aspects from which I do know.…

    Diverse Socioeconomic Field Experience

    I learned that I have to make sure that I reflect/address any issues that I might have that could hinder classroom cohesiveness. I realized that if I have a better understanding of students with lower socioeconomic status and I learn how to address the issues they are facing I can promote better self-esteem for them and help build positive relationships with classmates without biases, discrimination, or prejudices. After researching socioeconomics in the classroom I learned many things that I can do as a teacher to enhance a positive learning environment to lower socioeconomic groups. I learned that giving students extra physical activities reduces issues associated with poor nutrition, incorporate daily vocabulary activities to improve vocabulary deficits, try to make connections to the student’s world, try to use positive affirmations every day, set high reachable goals, focus on core academic skills, teach coping skills for daily stressors they may encounter, and offer yourself as a strong, positive caring adult they can depend on (Jenson,…

    Compassion Deficit Diversity In The United States

    Education is especially important for teachers or staff that did not grow up in urban areas or in areas where there was not a high population of low-income or minority students. An example of this is in a program like Teach for America, where less than half of those employed are people of color, less than half came from low-income backgrounds and more than 60 percent of them have experienced someone in their family graduating college (Teach for America, 2016). This is important because without the knowledge of what it is like to be a part of a campus that is under resourced, teachers might not know what to expect or how to relate to and manage issues regarding this lack of…

    Victims Of Hate Crimes

    Nelson Mandela said “no one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion”. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in 2015, 7,121 persons were victims of hate crimes in the USA, most of them were victimized because of their race, their religious beliefs, and their sexual orientation. Even though 7,121 may seem to be a little number, imagine that number yearly with a different person every time, imagine everything worldwide, and to sum up, these are only the registered cases because some victims do not report these types of crimes thanks to the fear of “what might happen if I do that” question. Discrimination is defined as “the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories…

    Importance Of Supportive Learning Environment

    Part A: The two aspects of the effective pedagogy statement from the New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007) that I will focus on are creating a supportive learning environment and making connections to prior learning and experience. These are two aspects that resonate with me and I consider them to be significant factors in effective teaching practices. Creating a supportive learning environment is important for a teacher to consider because it sets the foundation of the classroom, both physically and emotionally, between all members of the classroom community. For a teacher to be effective positive relationships need to be developed, not just with the students, but also with the wider school community, such as parents so that…
