I have been looked over for many promotions because of my outspokenness for things I believe in, though I wasn’t given many promotions I still applied for them and watched lesser qualified people who were promoted over me. This has caused me to feel burned out and undervalued, I feel that returning to school to attain my bachelors’ degree is what will help me to be able to advance in my career. While looking at Kohlberg’s Moral Development I relate to his six stages although I believe Level 1…

Standardized tests are the culmination of every school year. Everything taught during the entire year is supposed to be represented in the students’ scores. If they perform poorly, then apparently the school taught poorly. If they perform well, then the school apparently taught well. The goal of these tests are to improve instruction and performance in schools and students. Standardized testing does not improve instruction and performance due to the fact that these tests do not value diversity,…

it is worthwhile to review here the more specific reasons for using standardized tests. Students benefit perfectly when they take tests that give information on how well they have mastered the material intended for learning. Standardized tests are fairly and comprehensively measure student performance. Directly benefiting students while holding teachers accountable. Students who study for a standardized test are more likely to complete their homework and watch less television than their peers.…

original placement test to show more accurate growth. An advantage of this is students could explore their interest and see careers in those stronger areas and see how they could potentially use those in the work force one day. The disadvantages of this would be that not every student is getting the same education as others, and it could be considered discriminatory to the students who are not as strong in some areas as the rest of their peers ("Standardized Tests - ProCon.org."). Once students…

country and my way of life. I was able to relate to the Hispanic community in such a deep way. The struggles to get to the United States with dreams of a better future; the way family members depend on each other and are so close, or the way families live all together even after the kids have married and started families of their own. Sadly, it also reminded me of so many struggles that my people go through at home every day just to survive. Luckily things got better and better and I was able…

As it is I am the only person in my immediate family to graduate with a high school diploma. That was really important to my mother and father. At the time I just assumed that was the norm. My mom did go back and get her GED which really showed me it is never too late to still learn. My father was a high school drop but still a very smart man. He could fix anything and was just a natural problem solver. I was the only child born from my mother and father. My father went on to have three more…

disorderly conduct in and out of the classroom significantly impacting how well the students would perform on the standardized test. The first thing Principal Clark does to turnaround the school is getting rid of the students who were corrupting the school. To prevent the students from getting attacked by expelled individuals, he chains the doors so the students can be in a safe learning environment. He institutes a remedial reading class on Saturday and encourages students to engages in school…

of this practice example will be a group client system. The group is composed of 21 participants, whom ages vary from 16-24 years old. The participants are members of the Opportunity Youth Program. The program requires that the participants are not currently enrolled in an educational setting or currently employed. The participants must also fall within a low-income bracket, though they are not required to show documentation for this specific requirement. Furthermore, the members of this group…

Growing up in my household, the motto was “contribution”. My mother would make my siblings and I help her with the cooking and the cleaning around the house. I use to be envious of my peers because they did nothing to help out in their household, but as I had begun to age, I realized it was a method to my mother’s madness. She taught me that everyone must work together to accomplish a goal no matter what the situation may be. I believe that is why I have always valued teamwork and enjoyed group…
