I Have The Privilege Of Taking Graduate Courses

For the past three years of my high school career, and now my fourth, I have made it an obligation to continually expand my horizons in regards to math; when I cannot fully grasp an idea or concept, rather than giving up, I relentlessly pursue the idea until it is understood. During freshman year, math did not come easily to me. I was forced to go in early some days because, simply, I did not comprehend the concepts. However, taking initiative with my school work, and constantly working through problems that were difficult can be deemed one of the best decisions I have made. Although my final grade may not have been an

I am a dedicated educator who has devoted her life to educating low-income families in New Orleans, Louisiana. By pursuing my doctorate at Argosy University, I believe that the rigorous course of study will enhance my knowledge and productivity in the workplace. Argosy University Educational Leadership program is compatible with my career goals. My career goals are to obtain higher education, teach adult learners and to start a non-profit organization. The non-profit organization will focus on low-economics families while giving needed educational services to students who attend the charter schools of Orleans parish. As I researched Argosy University curriculum and conversated with an admission counselor I am convinced the University gives a supportive learning environment for student’s lives and careers.

After all, math was one of my best subjects. I had never really had an experience where I just couldn't understand the concept of a math problem, of how it was solved and why. Our teachers has warned us back in elementary school, that one day we would hit an invisible wall and not ease through classes. That one day we would struggle with understanding a problem, a concept or even a subject. I had never believed them, thinking this would never happen to me, that I could somehow avoid this wall of confusion and just walk right through. But there I was, utterly confused and frustrated at a simple problem that everyone else could solve. Why was I not seeing it? Why couldn't I understand the solution? I asked myself. For the first time in my life I really struggled to get an A in a class. I had my sister tutor me almost every day, preparing for a quiz and then the next, and the next. I came in to my teacher for lunch and he helped me step by step. I studied for tests, and worked hard. And my work payed off. I got a high A in the course, and a lot of experience from it. It taught me how to work hard for something, to earn a good grade when you deserve it, and it gave me the skills I needed to get As in the high school classes I am taking this

The general belief around the country (or perhaps even the world) is that math classes will be beneficial to a well rounded student. In some cases, such as the author argued, this might be true as a recent high school graduate who hasn't had the life experiences that someone later in their life might have. The author continues to explain that in their line of previous work and general experience, they already have the general math knowledge that their degree will need.

Consistently earned positive verbal/written feedback from faculty and students regarding classroom instruction and student learning success and even assisted one entire class to achieve a minimum B grade (see LinkedIn for reviews)

I am writing this recommendation in reference to Mr. Lex Lunde for the assistant principal position at West Fargo High School. Over the past five years, it has been a privilege to know and work closely with Mr. Lunde through curriculum writing, classroom observations, and his participation in the Improving Academic Literacy training. During my time spent with Mr. Lunde, I have recognized an educator who demonstrates leadership, patience, collaboration, and values a student-centered educational approach in his teaching and coaching.

Teachers invested in their student’s success and learning go beyond the label of just any teacher. Dr. Farmer is one of those teachers who are willing to go an extra mile or two to ensure success in her students. She is committed to actively helping each individual student achieve the goals they have set for themselves in the classroom-and in general. Dr. Farmer’s teaching impacted my education by allowing me to believe in myself to achieve the goals I have.

Professor Minca Davis-Brantley is a caring, interesting, creative individual and professor. and it’s been a pleasure to have been in her class, and worked alongside her during my time in ESUBA.

While at my time at Miami Dade College, I have come across many professors that a well-established, skill and understanding on psychology, but Professor Brantley is truly different- she is a rare gem, intelligent, a passionate and motivated individual inside and out., professor Brantley is zealous in finding students with great potential and I believe once you’ve crossed her path you’ll understand the passion she has as an educator.

It is with great pleasure I write this letter in support of Kristina M. Elliott.

After graduating, I served as an instructional assistant and afterschool program teacher for the Elk Grove Unified School District. In these roles, I helped integrate students with disabilities and behavioral issues into the classroom and managed a class of more than 20 students at a Title 1 school.

Furthermore, I served as a Crocker Art Museum volunteer in their Education department, where I was able to combine my interests in art history, education, and community

Maths is ubiquitous in our lives, but depending on the learning received as a child it could inspire or frighten. If a child has a negative experience in mathematics, that experience has the ability to affect his/her attitude toward mathematics as an adult. Solso (2009) explains that math has the ability to confuse, frighten, and frustrate learners of all ages; Math also has the ability to inspire, encourage and achieve. Almost all daily activities include some form of mathematical procedure, whether people are aware of it or not. Possessing a solid learning foundation for math is vital to ensure a lifelong understanding of math. This essay will discuss why it is crucial to develop in children the ability to tackle problems with initiative and confidence (Anghileri, 2006, p. 2) and why mathematics has changed from careful rehearsal of standard procedures to a focus on mathematical thinking and communication to prepare them for the world of tomorrow (Anghileri).

Mathematics has always been a difficult subject for students. Many children have developed phobias and barriers towards mathematics, which prevail into adulthood, thus limiting their potential. This limitation implies problems of learning, resulting in the child a sense of inferiority.
