A mathematics lesson has many key elements to make it successful within an educational setting, such as hands on learning, the use of resources and use of assessment. This essay will have a core focus on children learning through play with regard to Development Matters. (Early

back”, “being held back” or “repeating”, has been the topic of much debate within the educational system. The controversy which surrounds this long-standing issue has been reinforced by such topics as the recent endorsement of academic standards. Research indicates that “the rate of retention has increased by approximately 40% in the last 20 years with as many as 15% of all American students held back each year and 30-50% held back at least once before ninth grade” (Dawson, 1998). These discouraging

where my childhood began, though I do not recall a substantial amount of it. However, I do recall that I attended school, albeit a primarily religious one, for the first time, and that experience was unlike any experiences I had with the American educational system from 2007 onward. I also remember being highly adventurous; I often ran out of my house, away from my local Child Development Center, and my school, though I

Administration sets the tone and time for collaboration. It is imperative for school to have educators and staff to work in collaborative teams. The common goal is student achievement. Through respect and partnership the fulfillment can be endless. This year I was invited to be the Positive Behavioral Support Internal Coach for my K-8 school. I accepted and quickly learned that collaboration and organization are key components to a successful team. At first, the focus should be members of the team or

have Since my freshman year I have been doing marching band. As a sophomore I took my position as a upperclassman to help my freshman to the best of my ability.

from Finnish. In my experience, multilingualism is definitely more of a blessing than a curse. English has been a part of my life since the beginning of my educational career. The language of my education has always been English, and even though I am Finnish and from a Finnish family, my English has been my strongest language for almost ten years now. It is easiest for me to communicate my true thoughts and feelings through English, and I think it is my main language of all. I have discovered through

is a high correlation between poverty and educational outcomes. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), there were approximately 20 percent of school-age children who were living in poverty ridden households in 2014 (NCES,2016). The quality of education a student attains is associated with their parent’s educational attainment and household poverty status (NCES,2016). Children who live in poverty during their early childhood years have a higher chance of attaining a lower

say that children should not be forced into their educational career so young. Whether for or against full-day kindergarten, the common goal for all parents is the well being for each individual child. Every child has different needs and capabilities. Parents have to make an informed decision on full day or half day kindergarten. That decision can be a difficult one. Ultimately that decision is the starting point for the next twelve or more years of education for these young children. Connecticut

1.) I selected this research study to analyze by first performing an advanced search on the “onesearch” databases for the Achievement Gaps of Black and White students in education. This research article appeared in the results as I quickly looked over titles of interest. I then skimmed through both, the abstract and the conclusion to make sure it was first a primary research study. After assuring that it was a research study and not an analysis, I then looked over the format of the study to assess
