in California 's Education Code. It is essential to establish Do No Harm as an expectation for all members of a school community--including the adults. In coordination with a restorative practices program, Do No Harm can help build a learning community focused on developing academic and character skills.

Authoritarian societies are systems that are used to control the community of people and their education. Education in an Authoritarian Society is upheld by maintaining control of the hierarchy. This is done in three ways: sorting the citizens, justifying where and why they were put there, and validating the decision. In the 2014 motion picture The Giver, they live in a post-apocalyptic Authoritarian world and follow the three rules. “What is most difficult for the state to control- emotions and…

When I was in Elementary School I was terrible at my multiplication factors and I had this teacher that refused to have a bad student. Her name was Mrs. Shoester. She made me eat lunch with her every day in the cafeteria and we had to go over all the multiplication factor until I got everyone right. She did this for about a month due to her will to be the best teacher possible she pushed me and made me good in mathematics. She made a difference in my life and I would like to do the same.…

my mom was a teacher and I loved going to school. As I grew older I started to realize how much time and energy teachers put into each and every day. Reading this article reminded again just how much time teachers truly put into their job. As we looked at a day in the life of Jim, it showed how he had to plan out his day so that he would have enough time to get everything done. For example, because he was a coach in the afternoon, he had to come to school early to do his lesson planning and get…

As a student I was motivated throughout grade school to do good and try hard. I wanted all my art projects to be perfect. I think I was a pretty good students to have, I mean I wasn’t terrible. I enjoyed my early years of school but started to lack once I got to high school. I still enjoyed art class but not so much the other ones, like English. If I’m not very good at something then I hated doing it. I dreaded writing papers and usually waited until the last minute. English has never been my…

For me, deciding to become a teacher has been the culmination of a lot of different things. When trying to decide what my next steps would be after high school I did a lot of self-reflecting and realized teaching children was where my heart was. I had a moment in my life that really made me realize why teaching is the career path I should take. I became the leader for the three through four year olds at my church and fell in love. Nothing put a bigger smile on my face than when I woke up on…

I want to be a teacher, but that was not what I was planning to be when I was applying to colleges. I was originally in the Nursing program, but changed to education after my freshman year at Keene State. One of my advisors in high school had said that he saw me as a teacher and I said I didn’t want anything to do with teaching because I saw what the long hours were like. It is funny how things have changed. Now, I cannot wait to be a teacher and have a positive impact on my students. I think…

practitioner quickly, as I am able to embed new skills immediately. In the coming years I aim to take on leadership responsibilities within a school. I believe that this course will equip me with a body of knowledge of management in education and leadership within schools, this will help me become an informed, capable and effective classroom practitioner and school leader. As part of my PGCE I was required to conduct some small scale class based action research, I would be very interested to…

(Hilliard). Will you become a part of the solution for standardized testing for the people? Standardized testing is a good idea to test the students on how much they have retained from the class and the teacher. Standardized testing helps compare school districts and how teachers teach their students, but it devalues the goals of teachers who may have different. What the lessons and tests say is important may not be important for the teacher or what the state thinks is important. As a student,…

It was the last time I walked out of the old, nostalgic building that I had called my school for most of my life; each step took me farther from the familiar, constant life I once had. I clearly recall that emotional day that caused several of my classmates along with myself great trouble; it was likely one the most momentous moments of my life. The other students had lightheartedly poured out of the school building to jump start their summer, their unavoidable return in the following months…
