Learning curve

When one thinks of school, one envisions a clean classroom with ready to learn youth and a well prepared teacher. Is this school what our society has today? Education has fallen from learning beneficial topics to simply forcing knowledge into children’s minds too fast for them to truly appreciate what is laid before them. One such action taken by the government that has caused much controversy is the Common Core Standards. Adopting common standards means bringing all states’ standards down to…

The transition from childhood to adulthood is essentially a gradual process. There are several aspects of life, which take a long time to cultivate in an individual. However, certain events in life may cause the gradual learning curve to deviate sharply. Words like responsibility and planning can, in a short span of time, acquire overarching presence in life, and the world may no longer look as carefree and simple, as it once did. An air accident couple of years back was one such turning points…

After reading The Adult Learning Companion the two things that I have learned to be most valuable and effective for me going forward in my college career is time and studying. Time is important to me because, it can become challenging to find time to commit to doing school work after working 40 hours, taking kids to practice, going to sports game, cooking, cleaning and preparing for tomorrow’s work day. After all of this I just want to get in the bed to do it all again tomorrow therefore, time…

I was able to spend at least twenty hours in a 1st grade classroom at Beaver Run Elementary school over the past couple months. It has been a wonderful experience and has shown me a lot of great examples of what we have been reviewing and learning in class. I have turned this into a personal field trip by taking note of the many different and educational experiences that have been going on within my first grade classroom. I have gone through what we have learned in ELED 304 and picked some of…

new unit in chasing, fleeing, and dodging. In the prior units students learned about spatial awareness, levels, locomotor movement (running, jogging, walking, & different directions). In this lesson students will be learning the different pathways such as zigzag, straight, and curve. The goal of this lesson is to have students incorporate these movements while fleeing and dodging. This gives the students different strategies they may use to avoid the chaser. They are also taught to complete the…

Some people have that natural ability to learn languages, which makes learning the new language very easy; I 'm not one of those people. My first Spanish class wasn 't fun and the speech learning curve was horrible. Coming from a family that only spoke English and having heard no other dialects other than the occasional ones on television, learning to speak Spanish was very difficult for me. When children are young and learning to talk, they pick up certain language skills that help them later…

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me on Friday. I greatly appreciate your time and the ability to talk more about Thelan’s opportunities and how I can enhance your team. It was interesting to hear about Jess’ experiences and how we both working towards the same goal but with different clientele and approaches. In reviewing the information you provided and the information I took away from our meeting I have come up with a few questions that I wanted to run by you guys. 1. As a…

also work to effectively collaborate with our peers and instill this value in our students. It is essential that we remain open to new and changing ideas with regard to education, and that we dedicate ourselves to life-long learning, always striving to stay ahead of the curve in academics and methodology. Additionally, as professional educators, we are accountable to our students, their families and our communities, and must serve them with integrity. Our primary responsibility…

Poor Communications Case Study Educating our parents and students on learning disabilities, for many years learning disabilities were unidentified and when things aren’t identified they automatically fall into the “not normal “category. “Once a students is categorized with intellectual disability, emotional disturbance, or learning disabilities, that information will be forwarded to every new teacher in the child’s cumulative folder” (Henley & Ramsey & Algozzine, 2010). Labeling a student’s can…

Luther college Close nit community, supportive, and home are three adjectives I think of when I think of Luther College. When deciding on what college I was going to attend one of the ultimately helped me choose Luther was the community. From my freshman year experiences at Luther my peers on campus made Luther truly feel like I was at home. “Home” isn’t the house you grew up in, it is a place or places that make you truly feel yourself and complete. Luther, Spirit in the Pines, and my house I…
