A Good Year

We will take a few minor and major fieldtrips each year. These fieldtrips will consist of driving to neighborhoods where they can visually see success, going to local corporations so they can visualize who working class people are and the road stories of what it took to get them to their current place in life. Fieldtrips will be taken to different levels of restaurants to learn etiquette and dining at each level. We will visit companies based on the interests and outcomes of the…

Once I was old enough to join my sisters at the Montessori school, I went there for my second year of pre-school. By the end of this year my oldest sister was in the fourth grade and my mom could not find a middle school with a strong enough education for her, so she decided to home school all three of us. During my kindergarten year as a true homeschooler my mom found a virtual school that would guide her through teaching us in a more effective way with a curriculum…

of Success for All showed an increase in students reading abilities and special education placement had declined. However, more current research shows that students receiving Success for All instruction are still reading anywhere from a month to a year behind their…

are all headed down the same path to the same ending unless there is an angel hiding in the darkness along the way that will show us to the light at the end of the painful tunnel. I have suffered from a eating disorder, anorexia to be exact, for 4 years and even I have issues bring it up or opening up to people. Its hard even though I have accepted it. Other than my parents and therapists, less than 10 people know out of my family…

parents attempt to provide are philosophical. Most commonly the lesson today consist of ignoring societal biases, and become our own person. We also have become people that desire to celebrate more frequently. We celebrate many holidays such as new years, Martin Luther King Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and…

reading and writing haves always seemed like a chore to me, and it doesn’t seem like my view on that is going to change anytime soon. First, starting before it all started, was preschool. There I learned the very basics, as would be expected from a 4-year-old kid just learning how to handle the demands of school; although, it wasn’t very demanding back then. With it being preschool, there really wasn’t too much reading, and there wasn’t any writing. However, moving along into the early stages…

To elaborate further on social cognitive career theory (SCCT), Hackett, Lent and Brown (2000) discussed strategies for which SCCT counselors should navigate through their clients’ career obstacles. First, Hackett et al. (2000) stated that SCCT focuses on the interaction of individual aspects such as self-efficacy, result outcomes, and future goals, and how those interactions contribute to career development (Hackett, Lent, & Brown, 2000). To begin their evaluation, the authors analyzed…

ome of my greatest memories were of my learning in school. At the end of my second grade year, I was in a school bus accident. When I got to the hospital they said a had a head concoction, and needed to stay for testing to see how bad it was. I went to school with the ability to learn like all the other student, but came home with a long path to relearning all my school functions. My struggle through learning has been a lifelong process, through multiple programs, lots of encouragement, and a…

Our reluctance as a school district to make substantial changes in our educational system leaves a lot to be desired. We uphold an outdated model of education that isn 't nearly as effective as it could be. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said that the K-12 system “largely still adheres to the century-old, industrial-age factory model of education.” Our middle school model is flawed at the core; adolescents are not engaged in the classroom and lack the social skills they need to thrive.…
