When I was in the Jr.High at Jimtown I went through many things that affected my perspective on the world and the people in it. I had just made a new group of friends considering that I was transferring into the Jr.High from the Intermediate school and I was trying to find my place or as said where I belonged in the world ,well at least that was what I was thinking that i was doing. With those friends I had made in the new school, I made many poor decisions, sadly more than the average teenager. I was surrounded by what I thought were good people.…
In this memo, the issue that needs addressing is the one of Martin Elementary School in Polk County, Georgia. The government in Georgia recognizes that Martin Elementary is not up to code while also being at risk for kids health. Change for the kids and their future plays a role into what the county needs to think about. County Administration must find a solution, but as for now, the first option came back with denial. There are three options and the one that displays the best outcome is using the Lease-Purchase method.…
I grew up on a large amount of acreage out in the country with my parents and my older brother. I was constantly running around outside exploring everything in nature, rarely watching TV. I really enjoyed learning what things were made of and how everything fit together in the world. Both of my parents were very loving and supportive. They cared and worried about me all the time, but yet let me make my own decisions and decide on my own, who I wanted to be.…

Tara Steiner has been a Title I Teacher in Oakes for the past 15 years. She has accommodated, molded, and reinvented a Title I program that truly meets the needs of as many children as possible. Even under the constraints of Target Assistance programming, she was able to reconfigure her schedule and provide interventions for more children than in years past. These interventions were all research-based, incorporated proven and effective instructional practices, and produced data to help us make continuous instructional decisions for programming. Without her involvement, understanding, and leadership it would have been impossible to run a highly effective RtI program.…
In English class, we had read so many different books from all over the world; each style unique to the authors. I feel like when we read books in English, it was the time that I felt most comfortable because of the way I could get so involved in the story. For example in “The Book Thief”, (My favourite book we read in English too!) It was so beautifully told that you can’t help getting so involved in the story, especially emotionally. When a character dies, I feel so dismal because you had grown to love them and feel for them as if it is you who is in the story.…
In the eighth grade I had Mrs. Brothers for English. I learned so much in her class. Mrs. Brothers is such a phenomenal teacher and a great person. I learned so much in her class. I’m super glad that I had her as one of my teachers.…
She was fun, funny and I learned a lot! I remember she made everything fun! I looked forward to come to school every day, these two years. I wish I could say this about every teacher but for every great one there is usually a bad one.…
What do you need to know in order to begin your lesson planning for a class? It starts with the curriculum based on the state learning standards, from these we derive our objectives for each unit, and then finally each unit objective is broken down into individual lesson goals. Planning each lesson requires examining these goals, preparing learning activities around them, and a method of assessing student understanding. Then developing an introduction and flow for the instructional activities, keeping in mind the amount of class time and materials…
High school teachers put together informative and engaging lesson plans for their subjects. This includes making administrative and budget decisions, enforcing rules and disciplinary action, lecturing and discussing concepts, grading tests and conducting progress reports, recordkeeping student…
MODULE 5 APPLICATION-REFLECTION PRODUCING INTEGRATIVE THINKERS DEANNA SHELOW AMERICAN COLLEGE OF EDUCATION ED5263 DR. SUZY NATIVIDAD DECEMBER 17, 2017 “When it comes to teaching effective lessons, we know that if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail” (Bauml, 2016) and designing effective lesson plans can be extremely challenging. However, by utilizing a grade-level team collaboration approach that incorporates all facets of integrative thinking such are intuition, analysis and creativity as well as adding the use of opposable mind strategies, the task can be much more manageable and valuable in producing greater results from the intended objects of the lesson plan. First, we must define what it means to collaborate…
There was a time I was making a lesson plan for a class that used a lot of materials and I had forgotten to include a handful of them at first because of how obvious they were. My group members caught me and told me to include them, because I could easily forget something so simple as pencils and mess up my entire lesson plan. There was a list of steps that we would take during class, and plan out what ever you need to say for discussions, introducing the project that the class will be working on, or even how you’re going to answer student’s potential questions. This…
Planning past tomorrow was the first session I attended. It was very similar to the one I went to my freshman year. But with more information. What I learned from this session was planning is essential if you want to have success in the classroom. The meticulous way Tom Michalek plans is amazing.…
Lesson planning is a highly important part of teaching. Lesson plans are a teacher’s guide in his or her class room. They outline the learning goals and objectives for a particular lesson or chapter; they may also include the activity the teacher has planned and the supplies they will need to help the students complete that assignment. During my field placement I have yet to see my cooperating teacher plan out her lessons for the week, but it is clear she has a lesson plan. She usually has a lecture planned out for each day and she uses the textbook to outline the students learning objectives.…
Having an effective lesson plan should be one of the most important things that every teacher should strive to have. When teachers have an effective lesson plan it provides them with a guide for teaching a lesson. This allows for the least amount of distractions because having a lesson plan keeps teachers on track. It also allows for teachers to track students’ progress. Teachers can also set and achieve goals that they want their child students to learn by writing it down in their lesson plans.…
