presentation about the autism spectrum. Because of this, Dr. Rubio, the dean of the education department at Spring Arbor, decided that he would open up the floor for any students who had questions about the testing required by Spring Arbor University’s (SAU) School of Education (SOE) as well as any questions related to student teaching. With that being said, the organization of the room was quite interesting. Dr. Rubio was near the front of the room and all of the attendees were scattered near…

now beginning to feel as though I am getting an understanding of what it means to be an art teacher and how much more I still have to learn about education as a whole. Educators have the unique opportunity of a new beginning and an ending every school in which we are able to review our work and assess our strengths and weaknesses as teachers. Each year I can see where I have grown and where I must work harder to improve. I believe I have reach a point where I am no longer wet…

Date: I did my small group teaching activity on September 30th. What subject did you teach? For the small group teaching activity, I conducted a literacy group. The literacy group was their leveled reading groups that the students do during their 90 minute read block each day. Usually, the students just read their book and then do a worksheet or reread the book again if they finish. Mrs. Werne usually just monitors and sits with a group. I was glad that I actually was able to conduct my…

they receive from homework and gain more free time? Many jump to the conclusion that abolishing homework is the correct solution to the issue. However, homework is far more useful and effective than many may think. Homework helps students to excel in school, provide an alternate learning option for some students, give feedback to teachers and parents, and teach students life lessons about learning outside of the classroom. Parents and students alike pose many objections…

life seemed hard and I was constantly busy with my studies. After my experience in both Brazil and China, I now think back with an alternate view which makes me feel extremely appreciative to the instruction that I had. The precious years spent in school give basic foundations for a person’s personality and I have many reasons to thank my country, Ireland, for preparing me for the challenges I had to face in my adult life as an international citizen. In this article, I will review the…

confused not knowing what the move entailed. Moving houses meant I had to go to a new school, something I’ve never done before. I’ve been in the same school system my entire life, and was nervous to start a new. Growing up I had a negative connotation associated with change; moving taught me that it is important to make the best of your situation, and not all change is bad. It was a rainy first day of school, I had an uneasy feeling the night prior, , without much sleep. My body felt sluggish,…

at Fieldcrest elementary school. I choose Mrs. Kennel because I have known her multiple years from coaching at my school , and she was always working hard during any down time we had on her work as a teacher. She teaches first grade. I admire her work ethic and ability to manage her time. I think it is impressive for anyone to be able to manage coaching , teaching and a large family without devoting too much time to one area. I remember through my four years of high school she was always taking…

To Fail or not to Fail Throughout the Canadian education system there are individual schools and school boards that have written their own no-fail or no-zero policies. Over the last few years these policies have become a much debated issue, not only between the schools, parents and teachers, but also in the media. In most cases these policies do not permit teachers to assign a student a grade of zero for incomplete assignments, deduct marks for late assignments or penalize students for…

leading up to the move. Moving houses meant that I had to go to this new school, something that I never thought would happen. I’ve been in the same school system my entire life and was uncomfortable anywhere else. I’ve always associated change with a negative connotation, moving taught me that it is important to make the best of your situation and not all change is bad. It was a rainy first day of my new school. I got…
