Dewey believes that if the education system does its job, then students will be prepared to contribute to society and the government. While Dewey believes that education prepares students to contribute to society, Gutmann believes that…

My interviewee’s name is Mrs. Caskey, and she was my art teacher in high school. I chose to interview her because she made a great impact in my life and was a main reason as to why I wanted to become a teacher myself. Her students were always her top priority, and she would do everything in her power to see them successful. Our terms of success were actually pretty similar and made me love her even more as an educator. My definition of success isn't the amount of money you make, but the…

Individual summary The Positive Behaviour Leadership Model by Bill Rogers seeks to train pre service and practicing teachers to understand the influence they have as the behavioural role model in their class (Edwards, & Watts, 2008). In terms of behaviour, students will emulate the manner the teacher interacts with students within the classroom. Thus it is vitally important for the teacher to model their behavioural expectations for their class (Rogers, 2002). This model is centred around…

Teaching Philosophy/Cultural Literacy Beliefs influence the role of educators. Beliefs influence what values they emphasize, how they organize their classrooms, what content they stress, what teaching methods they use, and how they develop a personal relationship with their students.

Actually there were several people who got arrested before Rosa Parks for doing the same thing as her. It’s just that Rosa Parks’s story is more popular to the society. Rosa Parks is also important because she have once helped Martin Luther King, Jr to free black people. She also believe in freedom and she also believe that we all should be treated the same. This is shown in one of her quotes “I…

Ans1. During the classroom sections the different types of styles of leadership such as autocratic, democratic, and transformational were taught. After watching the movie Invictus the leadership style used by Nelson Mandela was the transformational style. He played as a role model and was very much passionate about an important issue. He motivated, encouraged and developed confidence among people. Mandela wanted to transform the close minded thoughts of people. He also believes in not judging…

My mother is a teacher at the school where I have studied for fourteen years. This has made my school experience somewhat complex! I was happy to hop beside her while we went to school together. She would hustle my brother and me to school each morning- making sure I wore the correct uniform and had my books in place. In kindergarten it was even fascinating; I could brag to my friends that my mom taught the senior students. I didn't see much of her in school then. Only my occasional trip to…

The colloquium class was very interesting because we went over few themes. Also, Charlie explained to us about the EAS test and CST test and vocabulary words that we need to learn to be able to accomplish our goals as a future teacher. During the discussion, one of the classmates specified to us that Asperger Syndrome is no longer in use to define our student. She said that now with the change, Asperger Syndrome is now referred as Spectrum. As well, our facilitator Charlie was very surprised…

The two philosophers I chose are John Dewey and Jean Piaget. I…
