Dream Big I clearly remember the day my mother brought home a small wooden desk for me. I cherish that desk so much because not only did I use it to do my homework, but I also used to play "school". Even though I was very young, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. So the years went by and I was now a senior in high school and so close to achieving my goal of being a teacher. I knew attending college would be difficult, my parents, older sister, and I had no clue where to begin, or if it was even
I found the articles written by Anyon (1980) and LeCompte (1978) very insightful and interesting. Both authors seem to imply that there is a “hidden curriculum” being taught in public schools. This hidden curriculum refers to the unintended lessons, values, and perspectives that students learn in school. While the “formal” curriculum consists of the courses, lessons, and learning activities students participate in, as well as the knowledge and skills educators intentionally teach to students, the

Education 's importance in the modern world should not be overlooked, has shaped the world we live in today. It enhances technological advances, brings economic success, and fosters prosperity all over the world, as Christine Gregoire once said, "Education is the foundation upon which we build our future". Many officials and educators would agree this statement, but argue on the best way to deliver education to students today. To discover the best way for education to be taught, one must look into
“What is your philosophy of education”, this is what I am asked. As a rising teacher, I should have an idea of how the classroom might be managed and what pedagogical techniques and methods may be used for the students to acquire new information and knowledge of a given topic. My goal, as a teacher, is to produce citizens who are life-long learners who easily adjusts to any social environment, and has the basic skills needed for everyday life. Of course, these goals can be met with certain methods

The study discussed pre service social studies teachers’ understanding of multicultural education. The study was based on of the ten themes of standards by the National Curriculum for Social Studies.

My best post-secondary option is Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) in San Diego, CA. To find this out, we watched an exemplary video, which showed us the six main post-secondary pathways; University, Military, Apprenticeship, College, Directly to Work, and Private Training. Next, we had to explore career options based on our interests, considering the areas we will need to study most, the skills required, and the level of education needed. Then, with the end career in mind, we chose three of
a degree in a specific profession. The opposing side believes that it is worth going to college despite the cost of tuition because by the receiving higher education it will guarantee getting better jobs than people who don’t have any college education. It is refuted by Anthony Carnevale, director of the Global Institute on Education and the Economy at Georgetown University that “jobs
culture was guilty in the past (Cullinan, 1999). In my education, I have been given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to innocence. In high school, my school library was having a problem with students stealing library books. As I was leaving the library one week, the alarm went off, but the librarian did not bother to check my backpack. Instead, she waived me on and assumed I was innocent because I am a small, blonde, white girl. She assumed that I would not be the culprit of stealing library books
Career Field Report: Music Education Since I was a kid, I have been surrounded by music and have therefore always had an interest in it. I have never been one of those people who have their hearts set on a particular career, but I think a music education career would be able to accommodate most of my personal criteria. The starting wage for a music educator depends on the level of music being taught. At a high school level, the average pay is $56,310 while a postsecondary level is around $70,790
