    They were talking to the teacher in Spanish and English therefore, I wanted to double check if they were ELL and they were ELL students. The first SEI strategy that I noticed that the teacher implemented into her lesson was vocabulary and language development. She first started by going over the ABC’s with her students. They sang the ABC’s song and every one was involved. Then after this she read them the book “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” written by Bill Martin and John Archambault.…

The survey results provided biases in the areas of language communication, racial/ethnic considerations, and cultural diversity. Recognizing these biases prior to performing clinical field experiences helped influence my interactions with the students, teachers, and school administrators. Over the course of this reflection, I will provide specific student interactions relevant to each bias and explain how I approached each situation with the biases in mind.

In other words, it indicates the extent to which individuals believe themselves to be capable, significant, successful and worthy. Brown (2007) emphasizes that no successful cognitive or affective activity can be carried out without some degree of self-esteem, self-confidence,…
