the teachers and the knowledge they pass on. These teachers, however, aren’t always decent at what they do and fail to prepare these students for the future. Matthew Miller discusses this issue in “A New Deal for Teacher,” an article in The Atlantic Monthly. He has found that bad teachers are the cause of a large educational gap between poor school districts and other school districts. This especially affects the poorer school districts because they have less money to spend on good teachers. He…
has gone up 55% in the past decade due to the introduction of technology into the college classroom. Students are learning in different and more personalized ways than ever before. There are several ways that this differentiation can be achieved by teachers but technology is one way that can be very effective if used well. For the past two school years, I have used different online classroom suites that allowed students to do all of their work digitally. My classroom has been paperless for the…
my life, I have always wondered what people think of me. People’s facial expressions, actions towards me, and more, may allow me to gain someone’s perspective of myself, but directly interviewing people gave me a much clearer sense of what people think of me. Through studying the various understandings of the Church, it is interesting to realize the different perspectives people have on me by interviewing a teacher, two friends, and my brother. Interviewing a teacher may appear to be very nerve…
Motivation is key Going to a school that has metal detectors and security guards right at the front entrance may not be what we would imagine for a high school, but that is a normal day at Richmond High School. This high school is located in a very poor area where no one expects greatness from any of the students. Until one day when a new coach takes over for the boys’ basketball team, the Oilers. Coach Ken Carter is very serious about this new job and he takes on the responsibility of this…
reasons why students become teachers. Some of those reasons are good reasons and others are more self-centered reasons. It talks about what different types of situations the future teacher will encounter in the classrooms today. One good example of teaching which Herbert Kohl states, specialization does not interest me, and teaching elementary school makes it possible for me to explore many facets of the world and share what I learn (2013, p. 18). It’s important to know what grade level you…
of eighth grade,and it’s time for high school. I’m very excited it’s a fresh start something new. New rooms,new teachers,and people. I’m looking forward to the more freedom we get. Moving to the high school will be extraordinary. I’m looking forward to meeting new people,more freedom,and new teachers. The tour we had at the high school made it seem amazing. But here is what i’m most looking forward to. More freedom,why well we can go on our phones and not get in trouble. Also we can go…
who allow their teachers to carry guns as a use of protection is at a continuous rise, and almost impossible to figure out the exact number. The use of guns in schools is a subject with a large amount of controversy. How better to protect ourselves against such a threatening matter, than to be ready to fight back with the same power? Everyones first instinct is to ban the guns from entering school campus. But the people…
same ideas as to what is wrong with our education system. The changing of education is due to the leak of consumerism into universities, lack of passion and that the students are just not interested in the subject. I believe that this is true, but I also believe it’s up to the teachers to have passion in their job that they have chosen to do! It makes it that much more interesting. The implementation of new techniques to improve education falls in the hands of our licensed teachers or school…
them sharing knowledge and personal friendship id definitely what I want to do in my future. What did you like most? I personally liked every moment of my Service learning, but the most I really liked when Mrs. Genson assigned me students to work with students, she wanted me to work on their numbers, colors and letters. I really enjoyed that, sharing knowledge gave me feeling that I want to learn even more in order to give more than what I already have. Having a chance to be a part of the…
two types of teachers: The really good teacher that made school interesting and fun and/or you remember the really “not so good” teacher, who was boring and talked in a monotone voice, the teacher that would make school so miserable that you would rather catch the flu to miss a few days of school, or the teacher who might have said something negative to you that has and will stick with you throughout your whole life. There are many of us that want to be remembered as the great teacher, however,…
