Arguments Turn into Life Lessons The world is a big, scary place. I feel like the more you're thrown out to see for yourself, the more you learn about it. Near the end of the school year, I got a taste of how hard the world really is and how to fend for myself. Sometimes, you have to learn to do for yourself when you just feel like no one’s listening. It was a pretty regular-irregular morning. It was a Tuesday in late May and where was I? Still wrapped up under the pink zebra-print wool covers…

Hailsham gives it students a good life and gives them hope even though they inevitably face a dark future. Some will say that giving their students hope did more harm than good, but to disagree. Hailsham was a small light that tried to shelter its students from the darkness outside. It could not change the world or the students fate, but it could give them hope and good memories to cling to in the dark times ahead. One criticism for the existence of Hailsham is that giving their students hope…

creative advantage in some students to benefit all students in the classroom? In the article, the positive affect paradigm associated with hypothesis #3 “individual differences in intuitive ability will be more strongly related to creative problem-solving when people are working under conditions of neutral as opposed to positive affect” (Eubanks, Murphy, & Mumford, 2010. p. 172) was the most relative in helping offset creative advantage in some students to benefit all students. Most notable is…

Our course has challenged us to understand texts that will affect our students. In the texts, there are three reoccurring words: power, privilege and oppression. Unfortunately, these words and their context will likely impede our future students. Since they have this potential, it is increasingly important that we comprehend their definitions. The course has equipped us with new definitions and perspectives that will aid us copiously when we become educators. As described by Bobbie Harro, our…

going by the teachers and the school, and then when the real world comes, kids don't know how to manage their time because they’ve never had any to manage. Let alone that children need to be able to talk to other kids, but considering teachers tell students, (especially is grade school), to not talk.

class, we have been exploring fables and the components that make up a fable. The students have had several chances to break stories down into components. They have brought myths and fables from home and shared them with the class. In small groups, the students have also created their own fables and shared them with the class. We have come to the end of the unit and I have decided that the best way for students to demonstrate mastery of fables and their components is to create a fable of…

all their students. We focused on not only what to teach to meet the standards, but also how to teach it. When teaching diverse learners, curriculum and instruction is crucial. One strategy I learned to meet the needs of all my students was Total Participation Techniques. These helped me grow in my ability to involve all of my students in my instruction. I also learned how to develop good learning targets for each lesson. Before,…

Imagine, as an impressionable high school student, that your teachers do not care about your education or your well-being because of a label: “at-risk” or “unteachable”. This is an issue that many students have faced, and a few outstanding individual teachers have attempted to erase this label for the progression of these students’ lives. Freedom Writers, a movie that heavily involves this problem in education, is a 2007 movie directed by Richard LaGravenese and stars Hilary Swank, Scott Glenn,…
