Language education

Selection Committee My interest in Sign Language has always been genuine. I took my first Sign Language class in high school and ever since then I knew working with kids and integrating Sign Language was a dream of mine. I pursued my undergraduate studies at Bloomsburg University with professors that pushed me constantly to achieve my dream of becoming a Sign Language interpreter. My studies at Bloomsburg University incorporated interpreting, teaching and Deaf education. I was taught to…

According to the Department of Education “Congress has amended FERPA a total of nine times in the nearly28 years since its enactment” with the most recent amendment coming in 2001 (“Legislative”, 2005). FERPA is a “federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.

I also got the opportunity to talk the librarian/IT person at Sunset. Currently Sunset High School is implementing a Sunset reads program. In…

the curriculum. But there comes the question, ‘Is it fair to make it mandatory'. A number of Canadian post-secondary institutions are introducing an Indigenous Course Requirement. The main aim of this is to integrate Indigenous Knowledge into the education system. This would help build partnerships among the people of Canada and Indigenous people and hopefully a better Canada. This event was put together to examine options for what an Indigenous Course Requirement could look like, and explore…

the teachers/school to improve their information nights. Partnerships are an essential aspect of the quality of care and education for children in the early years (Douglass 2011, p. 1). Grace, Hayes and Wise (2017, p. 4) generalises that children are largely benefiting from living in Australia. Furthermore, children’s socioeconomic status, economy, government, access to education, health and welfare services impact on child development (Grace, Hayes & Wise…

Education has always sought to be the one thing that could make everyone equal, the one thing that would allow everyone to strive on a level playing field. Society on the other hand has restricted education in reaching that potential, for it has separated people based upon their circumstances and rarely finds the solution to ensure that everyone has the equal opportunity to learn. From my observations and collection of data I have come to realize that schools may have the appropriate programs,…

In the US, education is considered one of the best around the world. Schooling usually begins at age five, in kindergarten and continues through its various levels ranging from elementary public school to high school and at the last, the training is followed to reach a university career or a technical career. As in other countries, public education is free and of quality. In addition, going to school is mandatory, so in most states, state laws require all children between the ages of 5 and 16…

(SIFC) formally changed its name to the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv). At the point when SIFC initially opened its entryways in the fall of 1976, it had nine understudies and offered the accompanying projects; Indian Studies, Indian Languages, Indian Teacher…

Constructivism is an important part of the education process. The influences of the developmental theories of Piaget and Vygotsky are also seen in the constructivist theories of learning. I plan on teaching high school Spanish. This is a very specific subject area, as it deals with not only “Spanish,” but the foundation of language itself. I do believe that the constructivist approach could prove very beneficial in learning and teaching Spanish. There are also some parts of constructivism that…
