Student exchange

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,…

Like many students, college students always want the easiest way to attain a good grade. That was what I experienced in high school. Teachers give credit for work completed rather than the accuracy of the work and students would receive credit for things that had nothing to do with materials being taught in class. For example, my teacher would give extra credit on essays for bringing tissue boxes to class. In high school, students get used to slacking off and procrastinating however teachers…

college if students do not learn how to manage their time, but night shifts are the ones that impact a student the most. The students working night shifts have the responsibility of arriving at the job and completing their hours as well as attending classes the morning after their night shifts. Why do they have to take the nights shifts? Well according to the article, Manual Labor, All Night Long: The Reality of Paying for College, written by Alana Semuels, programs offer the jobs to the…

attendance, students would become more responsible and maintain higher grades. By being given money for achieving good grades, it's gives students an extra incentive to work their hardest to be the best. People love money, they are motivated by wealth. So offering some money to do well in school, kick-starts a hidden drive to strive to be the best. By giving students even a small amount of money, this gives them something to work towards. Paying students based on the…

our professor divided us into groups of six, where one person from each group had to present for 5 minutes, the part of cell that was assigned. My group comprised of three females and three males. I was the only international student and uniquely African, every other student was white American. We started our discussion on the nucleus, the topic assigned to us. During our analysis, only three of us were active, and the other three seemed less interested. My participation was observable, and…

insufficient disability provisions inhibit students from interacting with essential locations - harming undergraduate students’ retention in geoscience (Natalie Bursztyn, Andy Walker, Brett Shelton, and Joel Pederson, p. 1). Unable to fund a trip to the Grand Canyon and curiosity about the effectiveness of augmented reality led scientists to test the benefits of a mobile augmented reality app of the Grand Canyon for students in a geoscience class. Overall, the students learning the VR had…

positive as a student, and demonstrate progressivistic views of education, so due to this my philosophy of education has been shaped to be progressivism. The first example is in 4th grade, we covered the topic of owl pellets in a science lesson. After our teacher provided us with the basic knowledge of the pellets, the students were assigned to groups of 4, and then as a group we got to dissect an owl pellet together. We then discussed what we found within them, and then the students came…
