In “Disliking Books” (an excerpt from the 1993 book, Beyond the Culture Wars: How Teaching the Conflicts Can Revitalize American Education) Gerald Graff tells his story about growing up as a middle-class Jew in Chicago (22). He grew up disliking and fearing literature, history, and other advanced books. His explanation for his disdain towards reading was his fear of being bullied by the other boys in the working-class. Reading at the time was only acceptable for girls. When entering college, he…

Why are College Students Taking the Easy Way Out? Academic dishonesty is common amongst college students in the 21st century. In fact, “Seventeen percent of undergraduates at Rutgers University admit to cheating on tests, and forty percent admit to cheating on written assignments” (What is Plagiarism, 1). This quote shows that there are many students, especially in college, that are still plagiarizing and cheating. One of the reasons we participate in plagiarizing is because the use of…

Standard 1: Student Learning Results. Student Learning Result could be defined, as a continuous process of data and information collection, analysis and interpretation to know what objective that student will achieve of educational process. Therefore, the student will assess based on these knowledge.
 A point of strength for me is being able to work with the school’s team to develop a strategy to raise the academic level of students for a more suitable learning environment. During I worked…

Bill Roger’s model of ‘Positive Behaviour Leadership’ is a practical approach to behaviour management in the school setting. It is based on disciplinary practices that are related to rights, respect and responsibilities. The five principles of the PBL model are; “shared rights and responsibilities of everyone should be expressed as rules, confrontation and potential embarrassment should be minimised, confidence in students by offering choices, model respectful and dignified behaviour, and…

One of Megan McLaughlin 's main issue of concern is school start times. However, during this past year, she was successful in pushing back High School start times around an hour later. Ms. McLaughlin had been an advocate of later school start times for many years, seeing that she has 3 sons, who all attended Woodson. Later sleep times are important for many reasons. First, it has been proven that adolescent brains contain a hormone that makes it challenging for teens to fall asleep before 11 at…

Philosophy Statement I have chosen to work in this field because I believe that early school years are the most significant in a child’s life as they lay the foundation for future education. True education is one that brings out the person’s potential. Education should encompass the whole child—intellectual, social, emotional and physical aspects of his/her being. Being a preschool teacher involves a true love for the career and working with children. "Growing up I was the oldest one in the…

judicial actions. (Diaz-Rico, 2014). Congress and the state and federal courts have supported bilingual education and provided legal protections for the rights of non-English- speaking students around the United States. However, according to the Florida Department of Education, the state of Florida was in need of the Consent decree in order to comply with the federal and state laws regarding the education of English language learners (ELL) or English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). The laws…

The Framework for Teaching differentiates professional expectations for teachers, respecting and safeguarding diversity and equity among the teaching staff. It has application for all education professionals, from the entry level teacher to the outstanding practitioner. The cycle of clinical supervision provides an opportunity for teachers and supervisors to build a collegial relationship. The pre-observation conference and the…

This internship experience has been a blessing. I have learned discipleship, work ethic, honor and respect. I have gotten to see and partake in the behind scenes of children 's ministry. The pastors I follow have done their up most to help me learn. They have taught me that in ministry I have to maintain teach ability and patience. They taught me to be punctual. In ministry, you can never have enough time to prepare. People respected me for keeping up with where I was supposed to be. They saw…

An effective teacher is one who knows that the work she does preparing classroom routines and procedures at the start of the school year will mean less class time devoted to handling disciple problems as the school year progresses. Classroom management is one of the most important aspects of a successful year for both the teacher and the students. Classroom management needs to begin before school even starts. The teacher needs to spend some time before the school term begins to decide what…
