Technology integration and implementation in schools and classrooms is directly linked to teacher self-efficacy (Wang & Ertmer, 2003). The expectation for teachers to collaborate and use educational technology on a daily basis is increasing (ISTE, 2010) across school districts and communities.

I really enjoyed the guest speaker, Cathleen Morgan and was quite impressed with her forsaking aspect of being on the board of education.

The idea that teaching with these numbers is extremely hard to do and is a challenge. The challenge of experiencing a certain culture and gaining a new culture at the same time. As…

“America preaches integration and practices segregation” (BrainyQuote). This statement tells exactly what goes on today in the public school systems around America. In the articles “Why our schools are segregated” and “Segregation revisited: The racial education landscape of Charlotte Mecklenburg schools” they discuss how minorities are given unequal education and how schools are kept segregated. They also talk about the effects of minorities not being placed in a diverse environment. Children…

thesis, introduction and conclusion paragraphs, organization, diction and tone, unity and coherence, and effective sentences. “The Extended School Day,” by Harriet Davids claims that elementary schools should be open longer then they are now for kids to be safe. She states that there are many latch key children who can be endanger. Davids also mentions how a school day extension could benefit the students, their parents and teachers.

The five teachers selected have strengths and weaknesses identified through teacher observations and data. The growth plans offer teachers strategies to aid in leading students to academic success.
