Mrs. Sandra has many things to consider. First, she must recognize the people involved. She must see the consequences for herself, her students, the parents of her students, and her boss. Next, she must identify what the main issues are. These would be what to teach the children, should technology be that present in the classroom, what will happen to her students based on her decision, and could she lose her job for making a decision her boss disagrees with. She must weigh the answers to all of…

I believe that in order to have a successful classroom, a teacher must implement a variety of classroom management strategies to ensure that from September until June every single student gets the best education that he/she deserves. Even before the students arrive, one of the first things a teacher needs to do is make the classroom a warm, welcoming and safe place for each individual student. I want to make sure that from the first moment the students enter the classroom until the last moment…

1. What technology-related training/professional development do you receive from your school and/or the school district? Explain at least three different Professional Activities, what was taught, was it effective for future use? This year we had professional development into a new program called Mastery Connect. We had a one day training in the computer lab of our school. The air conditioning was not working so we had to try to learn this program in a 90 degree building. Although, the program…

My education experience My education experience has been kind of like a roller-coaster. I went to public school majority of my life but I was privately schooled from sixth grade to my freshman year and the transformation from private to public was so different. In my private school there were only like twenty to twenty-five kids in all and we all knew each other so I would get in trouble a lot for talking and was even moved around because that’s all I would do, but we had to learn to be able…

The Ron Clark is the type of teacher new teachers hope to become one day. His story gives great examples of ways to make sure that no students is overlooked or left behind. He goes above and beyond what most people see as a teacher’s job. He did not work 8-4 and walk away. He spent time actively working to find techniques to engage his students in ways that would make learning fun for them. He also spent time outside of class working with them on their studies. Students don’t always learn…

I. Summary of the case Oprah Winfrey vowed that she would build a boarding school for the girls living in South Africa; girls who are disadvantaged. She wanted to use education as a tool to improve their social lives and to train strong leaders who would be a lead South Africa in the future. She spent $40 million on a school, where classes were small, the teachers were excellent, and there were modern facilities provided. Oprah’s efforts were appreciated, however, there was also a lot of…

image of the essay, Mr. Pete is more similar to the statement, “From the outset, her efforts must coincide with those of the students to engage in critical thinking… (pg. 5)” He shared a lot of the same feelings as students when it came to the way education works. He interacts with the students largely through jokes and comedy, which is interesting since he’s a biology teacher. His favorite motto is “you have to make your own fun,” and he lives by this in his classroom. He is able to joke around…

Education, or rather being an educator is one of history’s oldest professions. Perhaps not like it is today with rules and regulations, but the idea of teaching one person from another has existed, arguably since the beginning of written language and critical thinking. Those who taught well always looked to find the best ways to teach. The best roles of teachers, the most advantageous to be taught, and the optimal environment of learning. Atop this list, it is almost beneficial for an educator…

conducted to inform the teachers of the culture of the Mesquaki. Some teachers “continued to blame the Mesquaki students and saw them as lacking English language skills, motivation to succeed, self-esteem, parental guidance, and community support for education. Other white teachers embraced the message of the workshop: that Mesquaki youth were silent because this was the ‘Indian’ way of communicating and learning” (EAR page 223). If teachers not only knew about the cultures that make of their…

Until I came to The Gunnery, I went to a school for students with learning differences. Teachers spoke more slowly and repeated information often, classes were small (12 students maximum), with two teachers, and everyone had time with tutors built into their daily schedules. I felt as if I couldn’t leave, because I was used to a school that held my hand. When I arrived here, I had to check off the classes I wanted to attend, be independent, find my way around. In my old school, I did my work…
