Application And Supporting Student Learning

The information from our meeting was provided to our leadership team via email. This was the responsibility of the team, along with the minutes (chart minutes 1F) from the meeting. See email 1E.

1. Explain in detail how you would support and advance the learning of children and young people in your class:

Today I arrived at 8: 30. I organised the classroom and made it ready for pupils to come. After assembly we did some time table practice. Next we had a new lesson for numeracy skills and I supported a group of students. L. O. Was about the name of 2 D shapes and how can we recognise them. First Miss B explained about the topic and she draw the shapes on the bored.

2. My actual score had me ranging from high to low - Initiator (thirteen), Encourager (eight), Gatekeeper and Summarizer (seven), and Harmonizer (six).

As an educator, it is my job to find new ways for my students to learn that coincides with their particular learning style and takes advantage of their strengths. In all practical terms, this will mean finding new ways for each of my students to learn in their own particular way. As a whole, my students will need more reason to learn with authentic experiences, hands-on

I taught a group of students at various grade levels to prepare them for their secondary-level standardized tests. The particularly

All mainstream schools are required to appoint a special needs coordinator from amongst their staff. The coordinator ensures the school’s special education needs policy (SEN policy) is properly carried out, and acts as a liaison between pupils, parents, school staff, and any external agencies that may be involved (DfES 2005). In addition, the coordinator often acts as an advocate for special needs students, aiding in both their empowerment and success in the academic community (Parker 2000).

Purpose: To improve a testing experience for our students to increase the percentage of students meeting the standards of the standardized test.

Many teachers these days are “teaching to the test” and hurting their students in the process. The students are not properly taught to retain information that will be helpful in the future. Many students are taught to memorize the information for the test and to never look back on that information until an exam, where the whole memorizing process starts again. The information is never fully learned or understood. “ students ... have very little idea how they can apply the information throughout their lives” (Source F). Many students cannot remember what they have learned up to the current week, and many researchers have found that since the information is not currently being used, it has been pushed to the back of the mind and in most cases, forgotten. Researchers have found that many students forget up to 60% of material that they learned in high school before moving to a university. The information that has been consumed by students is not being applied in real life situations. And the tests will not help students in the future with getting jobs or any real-world knowledge. “Instead of being able to explain what they can DO with the information they have learned (i.e., order food at a restaurant from language class, determine appropriate change while shopping from math class), students often only cite the technical

If relevant, any other information about the focus learner that will influence your instructional planning (e.g., other needs and strengths in areas such as motor skills or communication)

I feel supporting students is a collective effort, therefore, my goals are to research programs outside the STS programs in order to provide students with more resources. I will be working with different programs, such as the Career Center, Graduate Division, Study Abroad, etc. to better cater the PPALS population. I now take the time to "self-care". I feel it is important and beneficial to the population I serve that I am healthy. In addition, I understand that there are different populations with different needs, therefore, I try to advocate and support the specific needs to each population. I do this by learning about resources that could aid their transition into UC Irvine. There is always room for improvement. Therefore, I try to learn

In order to find the enemy he studied what the exams tested and what they did not test which became important to his teaching. He begin working with a ninth grade teacher to find out how to incorporate other lessons into his teaching such a maps. As they worked together they continuously created a working document from their meetings that charted themes that the exams constantly focused on, challenges, big content areas, and skills that could help him teach his class and have them ready for high-stakes testing. He also avoided going over material that seem to only appear occasionally in the multiple-choice section of the exams. By implementing community of practice David Bally students received higher test scores (Reich & Bally, 2010).

When students think about tests, their thoughts tend to move more towards the idea of “how am I going to memorize all of this in one week,” I know this from experience. Why is this the way that students treat such “important” tests? I ask myself that question just about every time I think about taking an end of course test, SAT, ACT, or anything like that. All across the nation, students have also been introduced to a thing called common core, which has, for some reason, been made even more difficult than the previous set standards. This seems to be no solution to the problem, but will more than likely only worsen the ditch that we have gotten ourselves into, in terms of education. Before focusing on making school more challenging for students and teachers, would not it make more sense for the problem of students not actually learning the content of the course to be fixed first? With more challenging tests, comes more confused students who are willing to do anything just to pass; including flushing their education down the toilet. They do this by only storing the information in their short-term memory rather than actually learning the content of the class, but it’s not always their faults, either. The way the school system is set up, students are not taught how to actually learn the material or use it in real life. A student’s only goal is making good grades on the tests and surviving the class. This memorizing business can hurt students later on in life, as well. These kids get used to taking the easy way out, and will never learn the “deeper-thinking skills” that they need to succeed in the world today. “The focus on memorization, fueled by standardized testing, has obstructed learning, according to Linda Darling-Hammond of Stanford University, who argues that students have been losing or squandering most of the information they acquire in school.” (Towler.) Even a

Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience (Walker, 2006). While Support is defined as to keep from falling in value (Support, 2011). While, learning support is defined as any activity beyond a college program’s prescribed content that contributes to individual students attendance, retention, learning and achievement (Green & Milbourne, 1998). However, the understanding of learning support in higher education among public is relatively low.

My topic for the Senior Exhibition is Software Technology. I want to demonstrate how using technology can enhance a high school students learning experience. By knowing what I know about Software Technology I want to demonstrate how effective it can be to the educational system. As a learning experience, It will include my interview with my mentor and all the sources I cited. It will also include the ideas that will be required to commence my project right away. Technology has impacted our lives with it 's extraordinary stuff it can do. Finding almost all the answers to literally anything, technology can be the answer to be a successful future. Creating software programs is much harder than it sounds like. You need to know how to write code in a computer JavaScript which many people do not know what it is or what it means. A JavaScript is a blank page where you write commands (code) to order the computer to display and demonstrate it on the user computer screen. Students these past few years, have been utilizing their mobile phones or tablets as a resource to assist them with any of their assignments. There are already some few software applications in smartphones that allow the user to get help on any subject for the sake of learning with videos or with hands-on tutorials. Technology has advanced so much it’s been idealized as perfection on computer platforms.
