He had a mother who seemed willing to help him and she was also taking English classes to learn the language. He was moved into Ann’s classroom so that he could receive support in English but also learn in is native language of Spanish. Ann did not let the previous teacher’s opinions of Salvador affect how she treated and taught him in the classroom. He was held back a year and transferred into another bilingual classroom, with a male teacher this time. There was much more growth during this year, I believe because he has a strong male role model teaching him and helping him grow. Both of his teachers give him and hold him to

    In her essay, “Finland’s School Success: What Americans Keep Ignoring,” Anu Partanen brings up the familiar topic of education reform (Partanen 976). Citing the PISA survey, put out by the OECD, Partanen makes the observation that the United States is not top on the list, but rather Finland (976). As a result, the United States invited the director of the Finnish Ministry of Education’s Center of International Mobility, Pasi Sahlberg to come and speak at Dwight School in New York City. Partanen uses the talk to draw comparisons and distinctions between Finn and American teaching philosophies. Partanen feels that most people missed many points in Sahlberg’s Dwight talk, one being the fact that Finland has no private schools (980).…

In Mississippi, years of negative student outcomes have created a great deal of negative publicity for the state’s public schools.

This report is a summary of several specific data sets collected by the Mississippi Department of Education and statistically analyzed for potential implications. This report will briefly highlight the necessity of such an analysis, and provide the…

    Public schools have to confront the challenges that they face when they go into poverty. These types of schools have to fend for themselves as they have been left behind by the school system. Schools are lacking in resources and so the students are also left behind as well. They are stuck with their outdated textbooks, and teachers have to pay for school supplies out-of-pocket. As a result of this, teachers have to find a way to get students their supplies without having to spend too much.…

    In this article, Moss (2012) takes a look at the dominant discourse of school readiness and offers two alternatives— “a strong and equal partnership and the vision of a meeting place” (p.355). He criticizes that school readiness is problematic because it sees the child as “re-producer of culture of knowledge… [needing] to be filled with knowledge, skills, and dominant cultural values” in order to be “normal” and “ready” for school (Moss, 2012, p.356). The “readiness” approach is fragmented and narrow, which focuses on “taming, controlling and predicting” instead of “creating learning based on movement, experimentation and meaning making” (Moss, 2012, p.360). Moss (2012) takes a close look at Reggio Emilia and how its image of the child constructs…

Growing up in a lower-economic and social class area, Ms. Sumner has the experience to speak for her community in saying that, “Because of this lack of wealth, we lived in a neighborhood that lacked wealth, and henceforth…
