seen and experienced the roles of students, educators, and schools. I have been exposed to other side of classroom; being the teacher. I want to continue my pursuit of elementary education because of my service learning experiences. With support, care, good vibes, and a safe place to go each day, every person has the opportunity to grow and blossom into who they desire to be. As an educator, I want to help students feel safe, show why school matters everyday by using real world examples, and…

from their peers. Beginning in the 1960’s, schools started integrating sexual education into the public school system; however, they only taught the bare minimum, which barely scratched the surface of this important subject.

The Act states that adolescents should be able to read and write and have a slight basic understanding of mathematic skills by the time the student reaches the third grade.

Therefor, by the time the…

Sonia Nieto is a huge supporter of multicultural education, but she states that she is “concerned that they can be sued in simplistic ways that fail to address the tremendous inequities that exist in our schools” (Nieto 234).

I completely agree with Nieto that this type of education needs to be firmly related to equal student…

These students are typically six years old and at the time there was one teacher and one assistant who led the class. In the classroom, there was also one paraprofessional for the student with special needs. The mother of the child was also there guiding her daughter and helping with any questions the…

Throughout this semester in Foundations of Education I have personally learned many things regarding education and how to better myself for my future students. This class stretches you to go completely out of your comfort zone to truly see what teaching is going to be like. The methods and strategies that we have discussed in this class have given me a different perspective on teaching and the education system in the United States. One of the very first methods/strategies that I hope to…

several class periods at Cavazos Middle School in Lubbock, Texas. The classroom assigned to me was an eighth grade social studies class led by Ms. Brown. The main focus of this observation was to gather information regarding professional organizations that teachers are eligible to join, and the pros and cons of them. Throughout my conversation with the Ms. Brown, I was able to understand the significance of joining a professional organization. I entered the school at 7:25 am through the back…
