Non-Traditional High School Analysis

Decent Essays
This is a non-traditional high school and based on the population and my experience during the fall semester I still think that there is a lot to do here for this particular population (about their age, legal and social status). Everybody seemed very committed to work hard to support these students. It is true that regarding working with them in regular sessions is a challenge for the counselor. I feel it is difficult to work directly with students as probably I could have worked in a traditional school. I am really interested in working with this population and I also feel that if someone wants to learn and understand the immigrant population in other schools in this area and other areas this is a great place to learn.

    Hi Peeps, Today's Quote "The Good Missions Act spotlights the Good Deeds of the many Wonderful Grandparents who are involved with the lives of their Grandchildren-- bridging the gap and filling in the missing information of family values, History, solid work ethics, and God's Commandments with vigor, enlightenment, excitement and experience.

    Entering into unit two of the Math 1201 course, I find that the concepts in the reading crystallize in my mind after an average of two to three readings. Failing to employ proper use of fundamental mathematical concepts appears to be the major bane that deters my ability to comprehend the material any faster. For example, neglecting to execute operations in the proper sequence caused me initial problems when converting from the general quadratic form to the standard form, specifically completing the square. Furthermore, my neglect resulted in personal doubt in my ability to perform the operation as I would arrive at an answer different than the solution contained within the textbook. Realizing the error in my conversions was a result in my…

    Call me old fashioned, but I love when my husband opens the door for me or gives me his jacket when I’m cold. To me, this signals his affection for me and a desire for my well being. He does it because it honors me and makes me feel special. Flowers are also a big hit with me. Leon can be a real charmer, and I soak it up like a plant soaks up water on a hot day.…

    I had the pleasure of teaching Sara in her 11th grade honors English class at Mark Twain High School. From the first day of class, Sara impressed me with her ability to be articulate about difficult concepts and texts, her sensitivity to the nuances within literature, and her passion for reading, writing, and creative expression- both in and out of the classroom. Sara is a talented literary critic and poet, and she has my highest recommendation as a student and writer. Sara is talented at considering the subleties within literature and the purpose behind authors' works. She produced an extraordinary year-long thesis paper on creative identity development, in which she compared works from three different time periods and synthesized cultural and historical perspectives to inform her analysis.…

    Textbook Analysis

    How could a textbook have it wrong? How could the information all students learned be missing key information and not even reflect the reality of most historical events? Throughout this class we have been asked to question and challenge the way history has been told and to challenge everything that has been told to us for so many years. This course accomplished that thought process for me and made me look at information given to me in a different way. Speaking from a high school perspective, most previous teachers had believed exactly what the textbook had said and didn’t question it at all as they went teaching from chapter to chapter, and having us to repetitive book work to memorize terms.…

I have been involved in several different aspects of education, such as implementing the 1-to-1 laptop initiative. Middle school students are a unique group of learners. In addition to academics, they are also experiencing a lot of emotional and social growth. A middle school teacher must recognize the unique challenges of each student to maximize their academic growth.…

    Since I started at Indiana University Kokomo I have taken summer courses every summer semester. I have learned firsthand that the benefits of taking summer courses are twofold. First, taking summer courses help me graduate faster than if I just went the traditional fall and spring route it would take me even longer to graduate. Next, being a psychology major there are a series of special topics courses that are only offered in the summer here. These special topics courses are always very fun and interesting courses to take.…

    High School Post Analysis

    I have been wanting to write a advice post for high school freshmen for about a year now, so much that I wanted to start a blog focused on high school advice. Right now, I am well into my sophomore year of high school, and unfortunately, this isn't a common time to post an article like this, because most, if not all students, have gone back to school. But I couldn't not post this, because I think a lot about giving well-written, helpful advice that isn't cliche. (And by "a lot", I mean A LOT, as in almost every single day.) My next post will explain the weird timing, and also, there is no way I would want to post this during the upcoming summer, or as a junior, because I won't relate to it as well, and I'll definitely be more into the college stuff.…
