semester of observations was very beneficially to me, and made my decision to become a teacher clearer. I observed in a 3rd grade classroom at Meadow View Elementary School, and witnessed the true life of a teacher. I saw some things I agreed with, and some things I did not agree with. My class had 21 students, but Meadow View Elementary School does team teaching, so overall I observed about 40 students. During my 50 hours of observations, I was able to relate experiences in the classroom to…

Corporate ads can be found in almost any situation. From billboards and commercials to now advertising in schools and on students’ uniforms, there had been a debate on whether or not those companies are having too large of an impact on students.

implementing the School Climate Questionnaire and the Social Boundary Mapping – I was not able to implement any of the future program ideas I’d originally come up with at Independent School of Long Beach during this semester. But I do have examples of them being implemented in peer-reviewed professional journal articles in other school settings and I want to show those so that readers can see the impact that these resources can potentially have on teachers, students, and school communities.…

California schools I have heard many stories of horrible teachers that have been in the school for a long time. One of my personal stories is of my Spanish two teacher; She was more concerned with the planet and convincing us to get solar panels, that she did not care about our education and success, unless it involved saving the earth.
