Experiential education

shape each other’s individual potential. Though without multiculturalism within schools many school districts will find it challenging to adapt a curriculum that best suites all individuals needs and therefore this would be a detrimental to our education system because we need to adapt for all diversities just not certain ones. All should prosper and none should be left…

In regards to children’s education, teachers play an important role. Since the No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in 2002, many people have been concern about children’s learning and academic achievement, especially parents and educators. In fact, teachers are always trapped in “teaching dilemmas” because each teaching method has different levels of pros and cons for students. Wiggins and McTighe (2005) suggested that for all of the choices that teachers have during a day of…

online has helped me reduce what I am spending on transportation by not traveling to campus on a regular basis. This is not the only savings students may see by taking advantage of online classes. Jamestown Community College (JCC) offers general education courses that students can take instead of the same course elsewhere at a higher cost per credit…

My Philosophy of Education My philosophy of education was not formed over years and years of profound, philosophical reflection but rather while sipping coffee, sitting in a rocking chair, and mulling over books as I watched the summer sun set behind the Blue Ridge Mountains. From Socrates to Joan Wink, the past four months have been spent vigilantly examining and growing from the philosophies of others. The tables have finally turned, and now without further adieu, it is my turn to share my…

2.3. The Perspectives on Teachers’ Extended Professionalism from School Teachers’ to University Teachers’ The current problem is, however, the existed theories and research studies mostly targeted schoolteachers, then what about it for university teachers?

Furthermore, I will endeavour to make sure the class is continually developing into a “healthy environment for education”, as it is critical for educators to strive to improve students “mental, physical and social health” (Sharifi 2015, p. 1). Another practical step I will take in beginning this implementation is by modelling trust to the students. I will do this…

Life at Holy Cross College is a place in which everyone has an opportunity to learn from one another. Since I started at the college during 2013 (year 8) I have been blessed with seeing teachers and students helping one another to grow, inspire each other and become the best version of them self that they can be. As I witnessed this I knew that I wanted to inspire and help contribute to the growth of my fellow peers. I want to evoke others to strive for their personal best and I think it is…

Gender-biased vs. gender-neutral education Gender roles remain strong in education, as children are often treated and taught differently depending on their biological gender. Not only does this promote the gender gap and stereotypical gender roles, but it also tends to exclude those who do not identify as their assigned or any gender. Lately, these issues have been recognized and addressed and alternatives are being thought of. Some small steps towards gender-neutrality have also been taken.…

Identification and justification of the strategies used to implement key aspects of personalised learning There are a number of strategies that can be used in schools to ensure that key aspects of personalised learning take place. A key aspect of personalised learning is high quality teaching and learning in Foreign Languages such as Spanish. One strategy is ‘direct teaching’ (DfES 2007, Moore 2009; Muijs and Reynolds 2011) which can be used to implement high quality teaching and learning.…

could be authentically human while another prevents them from doing so. He also believed that full humanity required an act of fellowship and solidarity not isolation and individualism. He wrote a very powerful essay called The “Banking” Concept of Education” which was first published in Portuguese in 1968. Freire wrote, the students are not called to know, but to memorize the contents narrated by the teacher. Nor do the students practice an act of cognition, since the object towards which that…
