Gifted education

Ain’t No Makin’ It, Jay MacLeod introduces us to two extremely distinct groups of male youth, the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers. The Hallway Hangers are a dominant group of teenagers who constantly rebel and openly resist the American ideology of education. They have little motivation to better themselves, in which some are aware of their circumstances and feel that social mobility is impossible, while others simply lack the ambition as a whole. In contrast, the Brothers are a group of black…

money and have to raise their own funds. Public schools are funded by the government through the federal state and local taxes (Allegretto). People would think with that being said public schools are better, but elected school board members and education officials implement and oversee strict rules and procedures that they must follow. As for private schools, they have more leeway to run schools…

As an educator I feel that after further skill development and education I will have what it takes. I feel that being an educator suits me. I have changed what I planned on going to school for. I was going to go for elementary education, no I plan to get an education and find a career in a special education early childhood classroom. Education is defiantly the profession I’m going to pursue. When I started college I was set on pursuing a degree in physical therapy, after a semester of…

America has been a country of immigrants and everyone welcome. The only problem is that other countries speak different languages, so when immigrants come and bring their children, they can 't speak english. Immigrants that move here go to school and have to learn english. “Ballinger (1987) analyzed the benefits favoring the bilingual, limited English, and English as a second language student. He found that the additional exposure to English speaking environments was an asset to those students…

the students would not be able to learn because they would not be sure who to follow. The teachers need to be there for the whole class not just one part each. If one teacher takes the special needs students and the other works with the general education students then there is no point in having a co-teaching environment. It needs to be split up so not only is each teacher bringing something to the lesson but when split into groups the students can help one another learn as…

and also the obstacles that both the parties involved must overcome. Elbow points out that students are often asked to write for the teacher but are supposed to address a general audience – “a creature blessed by intelligence, a certain amount of education (“general”), and an open mind”, but one whom they have no information about. They are rarely ever told the specifics of the audience, such as its opinion on the topic, the age group, the setting in which the audience might be reading, or any…

Education shapes the individuals who run this world. Because of this, the content included in curriculum is a widely debated subject. Everything from math, to physical education, to the arts is included in different curriculums. However, some disagree that the arts, such as dance, drama, and music, shouldn’t be included in the school system. These people propose that these are luxury topics, and not necessary for success in the real world. This concept might apply to some kids, but others find…

key factors that need to be considered to enable positive relationships with parents include most all of the guiding principles that Dr. Townsend listed in Lecture 4.1. They are as follows: 1. Family members are equal partners in a child’s education. 2. The home environment is the primary educational environment. 3. Schools must respect the diversity of families and their (diverse) needs. 4. All families care about kids. 5. Family involvement is important throughout a child’s…

and my brother attended a private school, and were not really involved in much. Despite the fact that we were born into a Sikh family, we never really understood what it meant to be one. All we were focused on was studying and getting a good education. Education was the only thing that was important to us, we never knew there was so much more to life than just educational. Everyone around us also lived a busy life, we all had the same routine everyday. We would go to school, come back home, do…

I was born in China and came to America when I was 3 years old. It was really difficult for me to learn English. There are many reasons why people decide to teach aboard, like traveling, learning different cultures, etc. The main reason I want to go Korea is because I want to help people learn English. I believe the best teachers are the ones who have experienced the hardship of learning the subject. I know the struggles students are going through when trying learning a second language. I will…
