The Field School

The experience gained through this field experience was very positive and gratifying. The first couple of sessions were like the ground periods, I had to get familiar with Hidden Oaks Elementary School and their ESOL program as well as to meet the team of teachers and their students. I will hope to capture in this reflection the knowledge obtained, the positive aspects, and outcomes of this valuable practice. From the very beginning I felt very comfortable with both teachers and the students’.…

A turn of events would cast doubts on the future of Cuba, and soon, Cubans found themselves under the control of another dictator. Channels of the media were the first to be censored and I of course was not surprised. Education, knowledge, and even simple words hold great power. We are fueled by ideas, by messages,…

Children born to parents with less than 8 years of schooling are more likely to live in low-income housing, deal with more health issues and have problems in school. Educated parents are better suited to help their children with everything from schoolwork to seeking help for health issues.
