3.1 The Gender Equality Issue. Gender inequality is an issue within our classrooms/schools. Gender stereotypes stem from societies ideologies and are soaked up by children at an early age. From the day children are born restrictions and expectations are placed on them. Gender stereotypes that are placed on children by society are impacting the way children think and act, (National Union of Teachers, 2013, p.3). These gender stereotypes are formed by what society deems acceptable. For instance it…

As a freshman who has only been in college for a week I wanted to know what a college student life was like. I was interested in finding out how students socialize in the dining hall. For this reason, I wanted to know if they were influence by their race, age, physically reasons or personal relationships. I order to do these observations I went to the dining hall during lunch time. First of all, the students I observed were not aware of me taking notes of their behaviors. At first I just sat by…

Proposed Action The literature analysis presents possible solutions addressing how PLC’s focused on assessment data can affect student achievement. These solutions were considered in relations to a cyber environment and three were selected for the research study. These solutions include: 1) teachers meeting regularly with content-based PLC groups, 2) a focus on the D3M framework in the PLC environment to drive instructional decisions, and 3) teachers developing shared goals to improve student…

With technology advancing at a rapid rate there is the question on what impact will it have on the classroom. The general consensus is that technology can be a very useful tool in the classroom however it can also prove to be a distraction if it is used by students for things other than educational purposes. In the article “Can College Students Resist the Lure of Facebook, Twitter during class.” The author Barbara King uses several different sources to make her point that technology is a…

Gray Scenario Winter break was almost approaching at New High School as I received notification from all the teachers indicating which students were failing their grades. I started to make arrangement to meet individually with each student to discuss their grades and try to problem solve how to best help each student to raise their grades. The following days I started spending the majority of the time with some students. It was M.L.’s turns, he was a freshman and it was his first time being at…

objective we are identifying the concepts and skills, sequencing smaller tasks and providing visual and audio cues to aid the students understanding. This encompasses the use of the VAK learning styles model and recommendations by Department of Education in supporting students’ needs. Students who may be struggling need to see ‘how’ to complete the activity (Cavanagh & Prescott, 2015). The use of appropriate mathematics language for the children’s language stage and key questions will also…

ends. I want to be able to continually learn and grow each day with my students and the children I work with. I want to learn new strategies, ideas, and skills. I want to learn about myself, not only as a teacher but as a person. Working in the education field you learn how much or how little you can handle each day and teaching is not only the students learning, but learning for myself. Teaching has a purpose. It has the opportunity to touch the lives of each student and contribute to making…

Our Educational system, along with politician, have dictated what should and should not be taught in the school system but it time for those ideas to change. This would be done for the betterment of our children. Comprehensive sex education must be taught in junior high school. The students need to be educated on the changes that their bodies are going through and why those changes occur. This knowledge would help them to make the right decisions and learn the consequences of hasty actions. The…

I agree that students are judged to be either book smart or street smart because my experience in Pattonsburg High School confirms it. In my small school of merely 75 high school students, students are considered either book smart or street smart, and like it states in the book, the two groups tend to not get along very well. I think that society believes that in order for a person to become successful in the world they must be book smart; however, I believe that some students are challenging…

two or more races. Of these students, 41% of them are LEP, limited english proficiency. Another 5% are identified special education students. (L. Busceme, personal communication, January 20, 2015). Being in kindergarten means that many of these students have not attended school prior to this school year. Therefore, many more students that may qualify for special education services may have not yet been identified. This poses a problem for the teacher as she may not be aware that some…
