TABLE OF CONTENTS PHILOSOPHY Every learner brings unique skills, abilities, and experiences which affect their perspective of the processes of learning in the classroom. These factors should be taken into consideration when planning lessons, units, and the environmental setting portrayed by the teacher within the classroom. I believe students acquire knowledge best when they are given the opportunity to make decisions, create goals, express…

does a good example of how to motivate and convince others about a social conduct and nice ways of expressing , feeling in community with others and recognizing that an action is wrong. This was done by a teacher, Mrs Gruwell, that started in the school with little knowledge about that. People don't liked how her "wasted" her time in something so supportive to a population of students that really needed it, and in the end, it was an excellent job. But how this can be seen as a way of motivation…

The cross-curricular approach to learning can be defined as a focus on the curriculum in its entirety, using a ‘single experience’ which may take the form of a theme, a question or an idea, which is explored through the application of varying skills and knowledge (Barnes 2008). This method can be daunting for teachers when focus is so often placed on exam success rather than the learning experience of the child. However, there is reason to believe that children can become more effective learners…

Critique of a Thoughtworld 1.) In Hirsch’s “critique of a thoughtworld”, from The Schools We Need and Why We Don’t Have Them, he begins by talking about what he believes to be is the “one true belief” among mainstream educationists. He believes that the “one true belief” is characterized as a “constantly repeated catechism” that has “currently no thinkable alternative”(Hirsch, p.69). What he means by this is that for quite some time now educationists have been using the same old out dated logic…

technology and assessments equip teachers with data that can be used to individualize the learning experience of students. Effective teachers will plan lessons and learning units that give priority to the skills students will have to carry across the disciplines and into new and different jobs (Stronge, Grant, & Xu, 2015). If trends continue, there will be an even higher demand for students who are prepared to take on roles in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and…

difficult jobs today. It demands expansive knowledge of subject matter and the curriculum; enthusiasm, a caring attitude, and a love of learning; knowledge of discipline and classroom management techniques; and a desire to make a difference in the lives of young people, where they will be able to make a contribution to society after school days are over. With all these qualities being required, finding good or even great teachers, could prove to be an extremely challenging task. Although she…

Part 1: Data Analysis Office Referrals Upon studying the data, three major trends, or patterns, within the progression of the discipline incidents over the course of the three years stood out. The first major trend, or pattern, noticed within the progression of the discipline incidents over the three years is that of black males being the overall highest rates of actions shown by ethnicity. Black males took the highest percentages overall, in all three years, in the categories of disciplinary…

Stopping this correlation early is of the utmost importance as “for children of color, the absence of a high school diploma did more than relegate someone to the economic margins of society…By the time they reach their early thirties, 52 percent of young, male, African American high school dropouts have spent some time in jail or prison” (Pettit & Western, 2003). Another point of questioning comes from the thought that possibly black males just misbehave at a higher rate than other demographic…
