Early Childhood Education: Ms. Catcher As A Role Model

When Miss Riley was accused of giving false hopes she held her ground and continued to support the boys whether it earned the disapproval of others. Great teachers can present a world of opportunity to those who may not have any. Great teachers can shine their light and allow their ability to help others even in the darkness of a small, failing mining town. Miss Riley used her talents to brighten the Rocket Boy’s horizons in a community little expectations were placed on them and even less opportunities were available. The movie October Sky gives a very positive depiction of a teacher as Miss Riley says, “How about I believe in the unlucky ones? If I don’t I’d probably go crazy.” She is a friend, a role model, a source of knowledge, and, most importantly, a light in a town of

I observed the kindergarten classroom of Sarah House. During my observation, Ms. House completed a language arts lesson with her students. Ms. House used both whole class instruction and one on one instruction during her lesson. I felt that she did an amazing job with classroom management and created lessons that were not only engaging, but fun for the students.

The idea of reading correlating with baseball has never been a thought process of mine. Before reading the article; I reflected on the title: “Why Reading is Like Baseball”. As I analyzed the two subject matters; it became clear. The two subjects have never been assembled in the same category; neither in my educational journey or my teaching career. Therefore, this idea instantly sparked my curiosity. As I started to read the article; the metaphor of reading and baseball became more vivid to me. Furthermore, a few points in the article really challenged my perception regarding reading instruction, or just instruction in general for that matter.

“Our teacher says Miss Caroline’s introducing a new way of teaching” (18). Caroline Fisher showed courage when she moved from her home in northern Alabama to a completely different place to where she has no knowledge of to become a teacher in Maycomb. Caroline may have been emotionally weak, but she still held on and was determined to teach. She never gave up and it takes courage not to give up even when the temptation is too great. Even though Caroline was not a good teacher, she never gave up on

The teachers profiled in “Unforgettable Miss Bessie”, “My Favorite Teacher”, and “And the Orchestra Played On” are remembered and admired by the narrators. Miss Bessie, Miss Hattie, and Mr. K. possessed significant qualities that made them remarkable educators. They inspired and encouraged students. They only wanted the best for their students and prepared them for their futures, enabling them to overcome difficulties in school. Besides the content of their subject matter these educators their taught students to believe that their lives and future all depends from themselves: whether they would choose the clean asphalt road or dirty, bumpy one.

Mrs. Rowe, the Assistant Principal, has “trained teachers and taught students in Benin, West Africa; taught in an integrated program for at-risk students in Los Alamos, New Mexico; started a program for at-risk students in Mahopac, New York; and taught AP, Honors, special ed., at-risk, and low-level readers in the Cherry Creek School District.” (Aurora Academy, 2013)

This quarter I am continuing my observations with Heather Cyrus from Barbour Dual-Language Immersion Academy. She is a unique second grade teacher for Spanish and English speaking students. In my prior fieldwork assignments, I have not met another teacher who has been so ahead of her peers in evolving the classroom for successful, 21st century education.

I have had the pleasure of teaching Fantashia Felder during her sophomore year. It is because of students like Fantashia that I prefer teaching tenth grade over any other. What makes this year so special is that teachers can truly see the transformation of their students from children, to young adults. It's a pivotal moment in a child's life where they must decide if they want to become focused on their academic and professional careers or become super apathetic. Fantashia chose to turn her life around and I am so happy I was able to witness such a beautiful transformation.

She was unapologetic about treating her students, especially her honors ones, like adults. She was strict about plagiarism and demanded our full efforts. Within our social studies curriculum, she found ways to infuse valuable life lessons and talk

Early education for children is very crucial as it helps shape up the foundation of their knowledge and behavior development process. Children begin to develop the sense of curiosity from the age of two. And from age 2-8, children go through a very crucial period of mental development, which shapes up their future mindset (Grayson, 2016). Early children education (ECE) has been listed as the number one priority of the National Association of Education. The teachers or educators at nursery and primary level are responsible to for developing young children’s sense of knowledge and education. In this paper, we will assess the roles and skills that are vital for an early childhood educator. Moreover, the paper will also present a

I have always found Ms. Branson to be committed to helping our student and any teacher that requests her help. She helped facilitate our study club at Otis for the 5th, 6th and 7th graders for the last year we had the 7th and 8th graders at our elementary schools. She always began by creating relationships with all students she worked with by praising their successes and

ssance, is the epitome of an awe-inspiring teacher who sparks a light in the children she teaches.

Charles Kuralt once said, “Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.” This statement has never been truer when describing Jamey Trotter. He has been inspiring students for almost two decades now and he is one of the most incredible people you will meet. He is forty-one years old and he was born in a state known for its subtropical beaches, South Carolina. He stayed in his hometown for college and got his bachelor and master degrees in English. After graduating college he moved around a bit until finally settling down in Denver where he now lives with his family. Jamey enjoys a multitude of hobbies. One of his favorite hobbies is to collect books. He particularly enjoys fiction over any other genre. Another hobby of his is mountain

In that class, the student learns about different teaching methods and how to care for children. As part of the curriculum, we volunteered at Long Elementary as teacher aides. Working with 4th grade students and observing an everyday class room was such an awe-inspiring experience. I had a completely new perspective about teachers. I have so much more respect as before. Teachers put so much time and effort into helping children for their benefits. I knew from the first day I helped with Ms. Williams’ 4th grade class, how much a teacher is a positive influence on children. There is an overwhelming feeling when you help a student with a problem and in return they give you the most heart-warming smile. The experience at Long Elementary helped me make my final decision on whether I wanted to teach elementary or secondary school. As much as I enjoyed helping elementary students, in my heart I knew secondary school was the path God had in store for me.

Her class of teachers take their jobs very seriously, and do not tolerate students who skip or disrupt their classes. These teachers are fun, because once you get them off on some irrelevant tangent, they will keep themselves going on it for entire class segments, trying to get out years of thought and consideration in just a short period of time. This is how I got to know my psychology teacher, because I was the one who kept her talking, so that the class could avoid taking the quiz that none of us had studied for. Teachers like her have the innate gift to educate and entertain, with their comprehensive lessons and subtle quirks.
