Cooperative education

With the help of the works of three already successful educators, I will construct the environment that I wish to create when I am in the role of educator myself. The first step to establishing a healthy learning environment is to create a strong student-teacher bond. Caring about a student 's well-being inclines them to work harder towards their final grades. Thunder-McGuire focuses on the understanding of one student and creates a bond. Temple Grandin taught me more about the importance of…

Money affects students in many ways such as students parts time job, schools don’t have enough supplies, teachers don’t get paid enough and therefore they don’t try to teach, parents don’t have enough money to provide good education for their children Students’ parts time what can be negative. “28% of high schools students work part time for about twenty hours a week or less.”() Students are working a lot and don’t have a time…

Each state and school now has more fair and balanced educational equality. Before a uniform education system was established, many states did not have the same quality education as some more populous and wealthy states. For example, WalletHub compared the quality of education in the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia by analyzing 13 key metrics that range from student-teacher ratios to standardized-test scores to dropout rates…

Through this assignment, I had the opportunity to interview Sandy Brier, a FACS teacher in Iowa. Sandy studied FACS at NDSU for her first two years of college, but then transferred and received her degree at Valley City in Elementary Education in 1982. She subbed for 20 years so she could be a stay-at-home mom. When she was ready to have full time employment again, she was offered an open position teaching FACS, but she did not a have a FACS degree. So she ended up teaching while receiving her…

AltSchool, seems like the utopia of education with no standardized testing, little homework, curriculum picked by the students, and small class sizes allowing for personal attention from teachers. However, with current systems for education in the United States, it is impossible for the model to be implement on a large scale. While the school says that economic background is of no matter but rather merit is the determining factor for their students, with scholarships available to students, it…

My experience at Wedgewood was more impactful than I could have ever imagined. The teacher that I shadowed was none other than the astounding, Debbie Alt. Ms. Alt showed me what it truly means to care about students. She reminded me so much of the effective educators in the Robert L. Fried’s book, “Passionate Teacher”. For my content instruction I focused on the high-leverage practice number ten :Engaging in strategic relationship-building conversations with students. I worked closely with six…

This method allows students to openly discuss their own opinions and their own observations about certain characters in society. These characters would be characters they personally admire, chosen on their own, and their decisions and analysis would be their own opinion. Engaging in a discussion in the classroom will allow students to see the differences of opinions, and will challenge the path these students chose. This method also ensures that the “powers of learners are directed and…

Teaching is a skill. It must be learned. However, when learning this skill people have different ways that work best for teaching this skill. For me, when teaching science I believe it is best taught thought guided inquiry. When teaching with the guided inquiry model, it allows students to investigate the teachers question while using their own designs and selected procedures. Guided inquiry is a different way of thinking. Students in elementary school now are taught science a different…

nationwide scale. While this has worked many times in the past, it has never worked and continues to fail when dealing with the national education. Students and their educational needs simply span too broad of a spectrum for the federal government to satisfy each individual 's needs with one blanket statement. As Andrew Smarick, a former official of the education department, said, "The department is essential admitting that the federal government doesn’t know what 's best for the vast majority…

Well respected and esteemed 26th president, Abraham Lincoln, once said, “the philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” The experiences and education an individual receives during their youth through schooling is an essential part of how one can prosper and succeed in future society. Such experiences and knowledge sets the key foundation to enable an individual to be more informed and open-minded about numerous aspects and parts of life.…
