When creating my unit plan, I learned that even though school curriculum can sometimes hinder your ability to be an effective teacher I can still create meaningful instruction. Therefore, by using the top-down design I can still plan instruction that is based on the needs of the students. Consequently, it became very evident that top-down teaching relies heavily on the student’s background and experience to obtain knowledge. In addition, I gained understanding of how the overall learning…

I believe I was able to learn a lot about the needs of a kindergarten students, by completing this observation.

One of my high school teacher said one thing over and over to the senior class but not many of my classmates caught on until we got to college. She said “You do best what you do most”, she repeated that to us every chance she got and she still does today. I learned by being in this course that I have to apply that phrase into my everyday life because is going to be very beneficial for me now and in the future.

School uniforms are popular in schools around the world, and are starting to gain popularity, in not only private schools but public schools as well, throughout the United States.
