What is education and what does it mean to be educated? Education is teaching and being taught. My teachers would always tell me “You learn something new everyday”, and it’s true. Education is not just the first 25 years of life as you go through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Education is eternal. Though I may not have any personal proof, since I am still in highschool, I know that as life goes on and people age, they don’t go through life with only the knowledge…

Every year in the United States 700,00 children endure a head injury and these injuries place the children at risk for many challenges such as behavioral, cognitive, and academic. Although traumatic brain injury has been a ruling in special education for 25 years only a small percentage actually qualifies to receive those services. This article states that educators admit that they lack the knowledge and skills to work with students who have TBI because there is limited training and inadequate…

In my Interest Profiler Score Report, my primary interest area is social and my secondary interest area was conventional. My primary interest is social. Its known individuals with social interest like working with others to help them learn and grow. They like working with people more than working with objects, machines, or information.

After completing my second semester of Comp, I can honestly say that overall, I have enjoyed myself. I am proud of the work that I put in and feel that my grade best reflects the effort that I have put forth the last four months. One of the most memorable things that I am going to take from this class, is the ability to sprinkle lecture with humor in order to keep your audience’s attention. Because of this technique, I was able to learn so much more than if I would have taken this course over a…

I have interacted with Nick Munene, as his Biology and class teacher, Catholic Action (CA) patron and tennis coach. He is one of the most outstanding and exceptional students I have encountered in my career as an educator. My interaction with him goes beyond high school; I have also seen him come back to his school as a peer and assistant teacher to give back to the school that “shaped me to be the person I am today”, as he is often heard saying. Nick is a thinker, a problem solver and a…

The person who has made the biggest impact in my life this year would definitely be Mrs. Erb. She’s new to the building this year, and I didn’t know her before this school year, but now I can’t imagine going to school this year without her. Everyday I look forward to going to her class and going in her room for homeroom, knowing that I can talk to her about anything and she’ll listen. As a teacher, she really cares about all of her students, and she shows that, and not many teachers do. She…

Course Reflection and Professional Application While conducting research in this course, I came across a quote from Cesar Chavez, “We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens the community – and this nation”. Prior to this course, I was knowledgeable about the cultural, linguistic, and learning needs in my classroom. What I have learned is the importance of not only knowing about the diversity but being able to…

Critical knowledge and skills is needed for teachers to best help ESOL students in the mainstream classroom. Prior knowledge or background is important for teachers to help these students. Every teacher need to be able to learn skills such as first and second language acquisition. The understanding of normal and natural development is important to help students transition while learning a new language. Supporting first language while the second is being developed is something teachers need to…

In the August of 2016, I volunteered my time, talent, and skills to help “instruct the ignorant.” This is a Spiritual work of mercy, as instructing the ignorant helps us grow spiritually and emotionally while helping our neighbors. During this week long experience at Saint Elizabeth’s Vacation Bible School, I spent my time helping young, innocent children learn music that lifts praise to God. The whole experience was exhilarating. While this might seem trivial to some, it was a very fun and…
