strategies. Teachers can use assessment as a tool to monitor this growth of their students. It is important to value and understand their progress and scaffold their learning as they develop further. Teachers can use this as a type of assessment to adjust instruction and provide feedback. Students will begin to value their own learning and develop confidence as they progress forward. I would consider myself at the emergent stage when I am assigned a project with abstract directions and…

from the beginning and I felt like an imbecile as everyone else was participating and I wasn 't in the class discussions. I hope to gain knowledge in this class as the semester continues and I know I have to put effort in this as well. I know that I am not an advanced writer but that doesn 't mean I don 't want to learn how to become one or minimally gain skill. As already mentioned, I am not a high-level writer. I don 't even come close because I don 't enjoy formal writing. I prefer…

More Unified than Just Looking Unified with Uniforms On What do you think when you hear the word ‘school’ ? I think of school as acronyms that stands for : Six Cruel Hours Of Our Lives.

After class, he is bombarded with questions about the material, and decides to help those around him.

Motivation is something we create with students, not something we do to them, Rick Wormeli. I was encouraged by a friend to read and article by Rick Wormeli called, Perserverance and Grit. Wormeli sees the intelligence, potential, and capability our adolescence possess now days, but why do they quit when it gets hard, why is their patients so short- lived, and why do they rarely reach their full potential? I encounter all sorts of adolescents every day, not including my foster boys, each one is…

emerged during my participation in various volunteer activities in my senior year of high school. I loved working with people with different levels of aptitude for diverse subjects and felt a sense of achievement when I successfully helped others. Teaching is mutualistic and I have learned valuable lessons from my role as an educator and the students I interacted with.
