Substitute teacher

ATTN: Ms. Harrison RE: Stanesha Petithomme I am writing this letter of recommendation at the request of Stanesha Petithomme, who is applying to run for student council here at Olympic High School. I have known Stanesha since her freshman year here at Olympic high school. Stanesha has been in numerous classes that I have covered over the last three years, and have showed me nothing less than the traits of a true scholar. With a 3.1 grade point average and enrolled in AP courses her academic…

Hi Professor, For my son, Least Restrictive Environment means normal classrooms, teachers that have been briefed on his exceptions, a formal 504 plan to add special accommodations from the teachers and staff to address his needs, and special allowances for taking notes, tests, and reading activities. He also has special places within the classroom that are reserved for him to work to help avoid distractions and promote greater attention and success. He was on medication and being allowed to…

One can give the opportunity to a child to act as the teacher by having the student explain concepts or something that they are good at such as organizing and structuring his/her essay. By solidifying the social relationships within the class, the teachers encourage the students to learn collaboratively and to be responsible for the academic success of other students. Teachers can also providing instruction that is meaningful through carefully selected texts that…

pleasure of observing Wendy Brown. Ms. Brown teaches first through fifth grade special need students. She teaches math and language arts by being a co-teacher, and she also teaches in the resource room. Her students never called her Ms. Brown, but they called her Ms. Wendy. During my observations I experienced how Ms. Wendy taught in a co-teacher setting, how she taught in a resource room setting, and how the students react when things change in the classroom. I observed Ms. Wendy when she was…

am so powerless to do anything about it—that my claim to be a teacher seems a transparent sham” (Palmer 2). I kept reading this quote over and over again. It stuck out to me because I felt really terrible about my experience of subbing the other day. I subbed for a junior high class and I did not have a good experience. I felt like what in the world did I get myself into. By the end of the day, I felt like I will never be a good teacher. I had no control over the children and felt like I could…

Her job title is a Teacher’s Assistant. Her main job as a TA is to assist the teacher. She helps the teacher with the flow of the classroom. Meaning she helps with procedures, assignments, and helps with students. In basic terms, she helps make the teacher's job easy and make it flow without any distractions. She said her job is more “behind the scenes.” She make sure that students are staying focused and that the teacher spends time teaching and not dealing with a distracted student. Mrs.…

different. College can be really stressful. They should make college less stressful like high school. College students have to worry so much about how to pay for college, get books for classes. They even have to worry about getting a hold of the teacher to have them help them out with an assignment. College can be more fun and excited if we didn’t have to worry so much. In high school you don’t have for many things like you do in college. High school is a lot easier because they don’t have to…

how to smile. But, that did not stop my love for school. Every morning we did a “morning meeting,” and sat in a circle. On Mondays, we reflected on our weekend and did quacky activities. This was the first time we had more than one teacher. In 4th grade, we had two teachers: Ms. Growl who taught Math and Science, and Ms. Kleinpeter who taught English and Social Studies. I remember winning first place in our school’s…

grew up desiring to make a difference in this life. It was not until I went to Azusa Pacific University (APU), I realized the way I would make a difference in this world and to contribute to society, is through becoming a teacher. Education changes lives. I want to be a great teacher, and I know that I must prepare myself to be one. That is why I decided to not only enroll into the credential program, but also pursue a Master’s degree. Education is evolving and we are living in an era where…

pertains to students with special needs and ultimately become a teacher. I am interested in the Special Education MA/Credential program offered by USF because it grants one the opportunity to take courses towards a degree while being part of a paid internship. As an aspiring student of USF, I aim to apply what I learn in the courses in my own classroom.…
