Before this experience I didn’t know how tiring it could be to actually be in the classroom. I noticed throughout the day that I would get really tired compared to most days. Managing a classroom takes a lot of effort and energy to produce an effective learning environment for the students. Before entering the classroom I thought it was going to be difficult to connect with the students, I was honestly very nervous on my first day.

In Board of Education v. Rowley, 458 U.S. 176 (1982), the United States Supreme Court concluded “a ‘free appropriate public education’ consists of educational instruction specially designed to meet the unique needs of the handicapped child, supported by such services as are necessary to permit the child ‘to benefit’ from the instruction.” As the parent of a student under the special education umbrella, I have experienced the lengthy process of meeting your child’s educational needs. The…

11. Describe the students in the classroom: In the last hour, the students cleaned up their tables after finishing their small group activities. They sat down on the rug in front of the smart board and had a discussion about the three activities they had just completed and all other things they had discussed so far about Texas. Ms. Parker showed them pictures of blue bonnets on the projector and the students were fascinated to see the, especially the girls who were choosing their favorite…

Bright Water School Lock-In Many of the students who attend the school dances we hold are overjoyed to hear that it 's possible there will be more dances held this year, and we entertained the idea of having seasonal dances. When I brought this idea up to my teacher, I was informed that the dances are, to my dismay, quite hard to put together.

Philosophy of Education I believe there is much power in art education and preparing our future generations for the world of creativity that is ever evolving. I believe a successful art education is built through four means: active learning, character building, providing meaningful curriculum, and building a useful 21st century skill set. As I have learned from and been highly influenced from Piaget’s constructivist views of education, each person makes sense of the world by connecting new…

When my mother was 21 when she had my older brother Dante and was completely unaware of the difficult life changes that the future would hold as a single, young mother. My parents…

Difference in Students Lives Education is one of the most demanding jobs in the world. Teachers not only shape the lives of their students, they also shape tomorrow. These children that they are teaching and molding are the very same people who will grow up and hold the weight and decisions of the world one day. There is a type of teacher who, though their students may not be perceived as the future of the world, know that their students can succeed. Special education teachers help not only…

thoughtlessly instead of actually weighing the options and taking into consideration the affects that decision will have on their future.
