National Code of Ethics, I understand the expectations for myself as an educator. I must take these standards very seriously; otherwise it could end up costing me my job. There are steps I can take as an educator to ensure that I reach these ethical standards put forth before me. After reading both codes of ethics, there are two very basic foundations of ethics that are laid out nicely in the NEA Code of Ethics, the commitment to the students, and the commitment to the profession. Both codes…
Scholarship, service, leadership, and character; these are the four pillars of NHS that have played quite a large role in my life in the past year. Even early in my life, these pillars have held a prominent role; I have always kept my grades to high standards, I have always volunteered my time, I have always done all that I can to lead and govern others, and I have always been doing the right thing, even when no one is looking. These pillars were a part of my identity before I was really aware…
visible on his pale face. That was the greeting I received from my roommate on the first day of freshmen year at the ohio state university. I honestly didn’t understand what was so amusing so I repeated myself again to his amusement. What I would soon discover is that my roommate and many of the other students at OSU make snap decisions about my intelligence based on the way I speak being from southern Ohio meant I say things differently and they assume my accent demonstrates that I am not as…
Our course has challenged us to understand texts that will affect our students. In the texts, there are three reoccurring words: power, privilege and oppression. Unfortunately, these words and their context will likely impede our future students. Since they have this potential, it is increasingly important that we comprehend their definitions. The course has equipped us with new definitions and perspectives that will aid us copiously when we become educators. As described by Bobbie Harro, our…
On page 32, I explained that I shared my background with students in hopes of connecting with them. I want to be clear that while this is something I normally do, I also was encouraged by Department Chair Dr. Kilolo Brodie to do so as a means to build relationships with students. Dr. Brodie shared with me she had her own issues with students when she joined the faculty. She explained that she overcame her student issues, sometimes at the expense of the course material, by spending a great deal…
attending any of this events.” This was the famous saying of one of my previous teachers. I was a student in IEP level 2. As an ordinary college student, I kept panicking over my grades, and trying to find the best strategy to pass the semester. Although the feeling of urge to earn extra grades almost forced to attend these events, but my fears to lose the opportunity to get extra grade forced myself to attend. It’s certainly difficult to deal with every thing in the same time. Just imagine how…
you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” I’ve been familiar with this saying since I was a child. However, it really didn’t ring true with me until I started teaching. As a new teacher, I found myself giving answers to my students when they would hit their frustration level. I thought I was helping them, but I was actually impeding their ability to solve problems critically. My Ethical Principles Possessing strong ethical principles is mandatory in…
On Dalton State campus, many students arrive hoping to receive an education to further their careers. College campuses offer a system of buildings to provide services that helps each student find a place of stability. The highly populated and generic Pope Student Center is an ideal spot for any student who is hungry, a social seeker, and needing a rest from the heavy college work.

throughout the senior year and after graduation. As a student, I know that being part of the student council is a very honorable and important duty. A class officer should have characteristics such as being equitable, extroverted, reliable, and organized. I consider myself to be a great spokesperson and relatable. Through my years of being a student, I have noticed that sitting back and listening is a great way to get the truth. Many students express their ideas and beliefs of the school openly…
