The class that I observed was Applied Human Anatomy and Physiology taught by Nikki Walker at Mercersburg Academy, in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. This course is built around the students’ previous knowledge from Biology and allows them to delve deeper into the systems of the human body.

Upon completion of this course, students will be certified in CPR and first aid…

team rewards, individual accountability, and equal opportunities for success. The six major elements of this model are intentional group formation, continuous group interaction, interdependence of group members, all individuals being accountable, explicit attention to the development of social skills, and the teacher being the facilitator of the activity.

their perspective of the processes of learning in the classroom. These factors should be taken into consideration when planning lessons, units, and the environmental setting portrayed by the teacher within the classroom.

There are times that students have unexcused exits during class discussions like leaving to retrieve a soda or other snack items, leaving to engage in a conversation whether it is person – to – person or by phone, leaving before class is finished for any reason without prior permission from the instructor, etc. Other examples of disruptive behavior in the classroom are talking while…

During slavery in the United States, southern white slave owners were raised to believe that blacks were inferior, and they believed it. It was hard for slave owners to imagine life any other way, and for them, there was no reason to imagine life any other way. It could be argued that the Yankees used Plato's epistemology. They broke free from the "chains" holding them to the belief that blacks are inferior. The reason that they were able to do this might be that their "chains" weren't as…

As well as portraying the political views of the time, there are also echoes of Thatcherism. Whelan shows this conservative ideology through the character of May. May is a working-class stall owner who aspires to be middle-class and has middle-class ideals “they’re just waiting to see you stumble, slip back and be as they are.
