judges and see’s them as facts about the person that we don’t even know. Judging people is not going to help us get anywhere so why do we judge? I have learned not to judge someone based on what we see and hear when the rumors could be false. When school started back, we met the new choir director. When I walked into her room, it looked as if someone had torn down the old room. I immediately looked at my new choir director and judged her because of the stories I had heard. She was a redhead who…

Reflection I really enjoyed doing this assignment. Through this field experience, I am able to get more involved in our school. Most of my involvement included professional growth in science, PLCs, parent involvement committee, and continuing our chess club. This year has also challenged me a lot as an educator. I started with two big fifth grade classes. Student behaviors have taken a lot of my energy, but pretty soon, we will be getting another fifth grade teacher to help reduce the class…

a roller coaster. In the beginning, I had enter the school for my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education. I did really well in the program and was very excited to make an impact on the children I would be teaching. Unfortunately, I had to withdraw from the program with only 1 semester left of student teaching due to my divorce.

Monett High School and Monett Youth Club wrestling tournaments. I have always been very involved in helping individuals within my community. I feel as though performing community service as a child and young adult has shaped me into the person I am today. Over the past few weeks I have volunteered seven hours of my personal time to Kerri Cloud from Central Park Elementary School in Monett, Missouri. Through this service, I was able to directly help one of the teachers at this elementary school.…

no way that Summer could’ve ended so fast. Yet it was here, the first day of school, and my fourth grade self was dreading to get up.The morning started with me getting woken up by my mom who made breakfast followed by waiting for my brother to get out of the shower. After my turn in we load up into Mom’s car, the feeling of butterflies growing ever more apparent in my stomach, and took off for school. When I got to school Mom walked me in and lead me to the cafeteria where most of the other…

Environment to inclusive classes in an inner-city Westchester school which is in the third year of state receivership. The most important advice I acquired from the interview was that as a teacher, I should be patient and flexible to adapt to every one of the students to meet their individual needs. I learned from my interview that students she works with are Hispanic and either immigrants or first-generation in Americans to go to school and get education they need. She said, “If education is…

Kim: What made you want to be a teacher? Mrs. Zulick: When my kids were younger, I spent a lot of time in their school, Theodore Roosevelt. One day the principal of the school at the time had asked me why I don’t apply for a position since I was there all the time. I applied for a position as a 1:1 aide in my son’s fourth grade room. At 44 I decided to go to school for the first time for my bachelors in education, I wanted my own classroom! Kim: How many years have you been teaching?…

Paulo Freire was and continues to be one of the most prominent educational philosophers in the world. Through the sharing of his knowledge and his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, he has transformed the way in which society views the education system. Freire’s goal was to help people of all kind. He started by eradicating illiteracy among people from many different countries (Diaz, n.d.). This was something that was of importance to him and he believed that giving people the power to read and…

Film Project Reflection Our assignment was to create a film using all of the elements learned in our class discussions. Through this process we had learned how to take on new perspectives and add new elements to make a film look better. Through the uses of the new techniques our group was able to produce a quality film. The first day our group met in class we assigned each other our roles. As the director my role was to tell a story through my vision of the camera. I chose the role of being a…
