Keys to College New beginnings, new people, and endless opportunities. Starting college is a whole new chapter to life that leads to the next chapter. A chance to push students to be what they have always answered to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Some students could know what they want to study and others may be unsure of what they want to study. That is the great thing about college because this is the time in a young adult 's life to have the chance to find…

For many, the concept of athletics and education seem to be a flawless pairing, a coupling that has seemed to simply be the way things were for as long as anyone can remember. In today’s society, it is so relevant, that certain colleges are immediately recognized because of their outstanding achievements in either athletics or academics, much like the way Harvard is known to be a tough, academically driven law school, whereas Pennsylvania State University is vastly well known for its football…

On September 16th, 2015 I went to Chippewa Elementary School in Holtsville, New York. I made an observation at the beginning of the day in Mrs. Carey’s Kindergarten class. The purpose of this observation is to observe and evaluate the human matters of sentiments, behaviors, standards and relationships between teachers and students within the classroom. When I first walk into the classroom it felt dreary due to the whole classroom having dark stained wood paneling on all walls, dark wooden…

She exemplifies the Alabama Quality Teaching Standards and is a true leader who thinks outside the box, passionately modeling what is means to be a professional educator. Now that Alabama education reform is moving away from No child Left Behind mandates, other teachers like Rose should be more willing to analyze, adapt, and revise, and explore new ways for genuine intellectual growth, moral commitment, and democratic citizenship.

Who doesn’t have a smartphone these days? In today’s modern life, smartphones are undoubtedly used for many aspects in an individual’s daily routine. Such as going on the internet to look up information from the latest weather report, to social media, and simply using the map of the smart phone to find a certain destination. Smartphones are no longer just used for calling or texting. The phones open a wide spread of availability where teachers in schools can ask their students to use their…

stuck in an airport somewhere in Louisiana, we were not able to hear her presentation about the autism spectrum. Because of this, Dr. Rubio, the dean of the education department at Spring Arbor, decided that he would open up the floor for any students who had questions about the testing required by Spring Arbor University’s (SAU) School of Education (SOE) as well as any questions related to student teaching. With that being said, the organization of the room was quite interesting. Dr. Rubio was…

Characteristics of Effective Teaching Walking around the classroom, conducted class polls, specific examples when asking questions along with showing and asking for explanation on cartoons, visual aids such as powerpoints, correcting homework in class which helped the students learn the real answer. One of the best techniques I saw was working on packets together which would really help me because I like hands on learning. Dispenser of supplies, and giving special privileges was all I really…

Purposes of Education Suppose we did not have education and therefore, no need for teachers. Where would society be? My personal opinion is that we would not be able to accomplish the things that we have in society such as computers and electronics in general, the tall building we see in cities, and we never would have made it to the moon. The purpose of education as we know it is to learn as much as we can, then we pass it on to the willing persons of the next generation for them to…

I have also been going back and forth on a few different majors, including food science and elementary education. Food science was brought up to me by a teacher at the beginning of the school year and it involves two things I enjoy, food and science. The only university that offers this program at the University of Idaho in Moscow. The other major I’ve been considering is elementary education. I like this one more than food science because I get to work with kids. I have done a lot of community…
