Junior school

I believe every student has potential academically and socially. I understand that Kansas City Public Schools can be a more diverse area than other schools. I believe that diversity enriches life and the students can teach me as I am also teaching them. There will be different learning needs for every student to meet in the classroom. Students should feel valued by their own unique and inherent worth. I have been provided with opportunities at the University of Missouri to be well equipped to…

Since sophomore year, I have been staying after school in order to tutor students in math. As a member of my school’s Math Honors Society, I am required to complete eight hours of tutoring per school year. Admittedly, being busy in AP and honors classes, I was weary of having to tutor students in addition to completing 25 hours of service for Key Club. Regardless of my initial apprehension, I was fervent in my duties. If I must do something, I may as well do it seriously. Every hour that I…

that we had to conduct an interview of a teacher I knew instantly which teacher I would interview. Susan Raleigh was one of the most influential teachers for me in my junior high career. There was just something about the way she taught and treated her students that made everyone respect her. She was taught me for all three years of junior high as well as my younger brother Kody. During my senior year she let me assist in teaching and tutoring her 8th grade math class, which I absolutely fell in…

students have been taught history and after a few repeating lectures the topics become boring to most. For me American and World history were long boring subjects about the past until my junior and senior year with Mrs. Popkins. Mrs. Popkins taught American history to juniors and World history to seniors at Norwalk High School in Iowa. She came into the classroom everyday with an energetic, happy, and enthused vibe about history. By entering the classroom that way she made the class more…

I would be a great candidate of the Anne M Dorner middle school chapter of the National Junior Honor Society because I demonstrate scholarship, service, character, citizenship, and leadership in my everyday life. Some of the committee has already noticed my scholarship because they have identified me as having a high academic performance. What the committee might not know is that I have been participating in the STEP program since 7th grade. My service to help the community of Ossining and…

order to effect systemic change in the Marine Corps' processes for instruction and instructor development. With 10 years as a Marine officer and three as an instructor at entry- and mid-career level schools, I became well-versed in the Marine Corps’ model to rapidly instruct and develop both junior and senior Marines. This is when my interest in education piqued and I dedicated time outside of work to conduct a self-study program and acquaint myself with teaching models and strategies.…

I am a junior at Tufts University in Boston, MA studying Public Health and Environmental Science and am very interested in pursuing a career in food law and policy. I found out about the Resnick Program through my professor, Sarah Downer, from the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic and am writing to you today to learn more about what the Resnick Program is currently working on. I am frustrated in American food policy and want to continue my investigation of what it would mean to have a career…

public school until they receive a high school diploma or a GED because people may have difficult financial, home, or personal situations. Firstly, many people have seen their fair share of hard times when it comes to money. There are people who are more fortunate than others, and have more opportunities when it comes to education. Likewise, there are people in the world who are less fortunate than others; therefore, they must find it difficult to find time to get their four-year high school…

community outreach activities or simply helping my peers learn a melody in my orchestra class. This is why when I was granted the opportunity to become a peer tutor and teacher's aide at my school starting my Junior year, I did not hesitate to take it. I tutor students in the resource program for one hour a day, during school, five days a week in multiple subjects including Math, History, and English. When I began tutoring, I had no idea to what extent this experience would change my outlook on…
