The Teacher That Always Believed In Me When I was in the seventh grade, I was placed in a class for students that had difficulty reading and writing - it was called Reading 180. When I started out, the teacher was Mrs.Musick, which is now my senior english teacher. She said that I didn't need to be in the Reading 180 class, but that I needed to be in the regular seventh grade english class. A week later, I found out my schedule had been turned upside down. I was now in the regular english class…
can see why some teachers would not like this young man because he is very honest and likes to have fun. I could tell that school was a place where he had many friends and it was more of a social thing for him. As we got to know Dave, he as been nothing but pleasant and fun to work with. This is what is so good about being a music teacher. Maybe we have the advantage because we will spend several years together. My idea as a future administrator is to require “core teachers” to start with…

Having not studied education in college and not being a certified teacher has allowed me to work in many atypical classroom settings. At a young age I was part of a group run completely by youth which organized and held religious retreat for young students in Massachusetts. In that I was teaching and discussing religion with middle school and high school students. A hard topic to teach and share but it really taught me a lot about how to present information in a way in which youth people could…

titled “The Impact of Preschool Teachers.” To get this essay started I started out with a brainstorming list of listing all the possible careers I want do once I graduate from Alexandria Technical and Community College. I picked a preschool teacher for the career. I then brainstormed a list of all the duties a preschool teacher does throughout their day. After I finished brainstorming, I looked up action verbs that went along with tasks of being a preschool teacher. After I got done looking for…
years I have spend educating me, Tiaira Greene to be a teacher, a special educator filled with promise of a better tomorrow. I know I can and will make a difference in that tomorrow. It brings forth shivers, warmth of passion, and that peculiar sensation of that unknown excitement that is soon to be before me. The fear of the unknown is just ahead of me, of what is to come, yet knowing I hold the essential knowledge necessary to be such a teacher because of the time spent at the College of…
I am applying for the Sociology and Education program at Columbia’s Teachers College because I feel that many attempts at making education better for marginalized communities, though well-intentioned, haven’t been able to reach their full potential. In India, for example, efforts like the Right to Education Act or teacher performance incentives in Andhra Pradesh have been ambitious ideas. And yet, because they haven’t been informed by the needs of the communities they hope to address, many…
Education Inequality While reading “The Teacher Wars” by Dana Goldstein I was amazed on her research of education. Chapter six of the book emphasized on the differences of the school systems in the mid 1900’s. Some of the points Goldstein made throughout the book really made sense, but the ones in chapter six really hit home for me. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and as I became older I became more aware of the differences within the school system. The differences were…
than one semester, I have met Mr. Lorenzi, my AP Language teacher. I was very nervous joining the class, because I joined the class two weeks later than the other students. By the second day, I finally asked a question and Mr. Lorenzi went on to spend around 30 minutes on an impromptu class debate. He finished off the day saying that he loves when we ask questions, and it was the first time that I had ever felt a connection with a teacher and felt that they truly did like our questions as…
