Comprehensive school

In most cases, however, the American public school system is divided in a way that isolates the rich from poor. The gap between rich and poor is reflected on the students’ academic performance. The academic performance of urban students is caused by the better quality in their education. Availability…

This class has made me look at education and teaching in a different way. I never realized how much effort and energy teachers have to put in. There are so many more issues a teacher has to face then students notice. Teaching is so much more than showing up to class with a quick thrown together lesson plan. You don’t only have to teach these kids certain information, you need to teach it really good for each and every student to understand. When not every student understands the same that makes…

In Indian education system, students have to study a specific set of subject even if they are not good at it or not interested in it. For instance me, I had to study a subject in which I wasn 't interested since I was a kid, which was computer science. I had to study this subject from grade 1st till grade 8th as a compulsory subject. Creating interest in computer science was just like an alarm bell rings. As I was at a critical stage (class11), with a heavy heart, I had to choose a course in…

The selection of the highly effective teachers is vital to the success of a school. In order for a school to be more effective, it has to be staffed with the right people who understand the mission and vision of the school as well as understand the importance of continuous growth. To improve teaching and learning, highly effective principals realize the importance of surrounding themselves with highly effective teachers who have a desire to do the job well. Fink and Resnick (2001) asserts,…

In this case study, Rich Thorpe is an extremely passionate first-year teacher at West Alton High School. Rich was very grateful to have received this job, and has put a lot of effort into his teaching, despite the pressures of a first year teacher. For the first three quarters of the year, he has had good classroom management skills, and his students respect him as a teacher. He clearly spends time thinking about his students because when he noticed a few of them were struggling toward the end…

Furthermore, Delbanco’s views on education agrees with other educational writers, such as Jean Anyon’s, stances. Anyon was professor of educational policy in the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and wrote about the five elementary schools she observed. Anyon argues that education is not equalized, but is differentiated by social class, as she wrote, “The ‘hidden curriculum’ of schoolwork is tacit preparation for relating to the process of production in a particular way...In the…

few things from when I was in elementary school however, one thing that has stayed in my memory is the sudden disappearance of my Spanish class. The class didn’t stop completely but it did become less frequent. Along with Spanish class, my art and gym classes were also becoming less frequent. Later I would find that these were the effects of budget cuts. I’m not sure if these cuts were made more apparent to me because of my mother’s position in my school or if I had noticed them by chance. My…

It was lunch time for me also so I traveled to Juan’s high school to observe him in a recreational setting. I know most of the administrators there, so when I arrived, they had no problem with me helping them out as lunch monitors. Juan sat with a group of boys and the first thing I noticed was they were all Hispanic…

On September 16th, 2015 I went to Chippewa Elementary School in Holtsville, New York. I made an observation at the beginning of the day in Mrs. Carey’s Kindergarten class. The purpose of this observation is to observe and evaluate the human matters of sentiments, behaviors, standards and relationships between teachers and students within the classroom. When I first walk into the classroom it felt dreary due to the whole classroom having dark stained wood paneling on all walls, dark wooden…

presentation about the autism spectrum. Because of this, Dr. Rubio, the dean of the education department at Spring Arbor, decided that he would open up the floor for any students who had questions about the testing required by Spring Arbor University’s (SAU) School of Education (SOE) as well as any questions related to student teaching. With that being said, the organization of the room was quite interesting. Dr. Rubio was near the front of the room and all of the attendees were scattered near…
