Since the American public school system has existed, it has mainly served as a facility that distributes facts in bulk to a wide variety of students. In the past century, the school system has changed from one-room schoolhouses to diversified curricula covering hundreds of topics, offering students choice on which classes he or she wants to study further. However, given the fact that every child learns dramatically differently from one another (Felder & Solomon), it is obvious that something must be done to adapt to each child’s individual learning styles. Teachers need to adjust from teaching for memorization to teaching for comprehension. They need to instill a love of learning in our youth, otherwise, we will lose the driving …show more content…
We never watched the actual video in class, however, because the school district had put a superfluous filter on school communications through the Internet. Our teacher could not circumvent this filter due to the bureaucracy of the school district. The government has emplaced a “Don’t ask why, just accept it” policy on the teachers, making sure they stick to standard curricula instead of adopting their own (more effective) teaching styles. When we force teachers to teach a certain way, we overlook students as individuals, envisioning them as statistics. We place unrealistic expectations on teachers, increasing their workload while limiting their freedom.
With the No Child Left Behind Act, we have opted to reform education by making sure everyone reaches their “highest potential” by limiting teaching to strict guidelines for standardized testing. Gone are the days when school instilled a love of knowledge and learning in students. We have replaced it with a compulsory memorization-based curriculum from which nobody benefits (Schaeffer). Having come from “gifted” education back down to public schooling, it became increasingly evident that teachers tried hammering ideas into students’ heads instead of presenting it in a manner for students to grasp independently. The problem is, this isn’t the teacher’s fault, because from the beginning, we teach students for memorization instead of
I am an AVID Tutor at my old high school Sierra Vista High School in Baldwin Park. This is going to be my second year working at SVHS and so far I love working at this school and helping the students. I work with sophomore, junior and, senior students. AVID is a college readiness program designed to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college. It is also a program that motivates students to try to go to college. As an AVID tutor, I am responsible for helping the students by tutoring them in small groups in a specific subject matter (Math-History) by using homework/lesson discussion in groups. We use the Socratic questioning to get students to think critically about a problem they are struggling on and help them when they really cannot solve the question they have. I try to find resources (videos, notes, textbooks) to help the students get a better understanding of their question. Every Friday I grade
The school’s behaviour policy is very detailed and covers all aspect ensures every member of staff know what is expected from them as well as pupils. I feel that I am able to challenge any behaviour issues confidently. The policy is fair to all pupils and they are all aware that any bad behaviour will not be tolerated.
As a HNC Health Care student I am required to provide evidence of the following principal aims and objectives: to integrate knowledge, theory and practice, to develop and apply a broad knowledge and skills and to have an individual patient/client focus in my practice. To achieve all of the above I am required to complete project in a form of Graded Unit which consists of three stages: planning, development and evaluation.
Engaging students in the classroom can be a difficult task. Understanding the process of how students learn can help a teacher adapt the lesson to meet the needs of all students. I will encounter students that are not intrinsically motivated so I will need to find different ways to motivate each and every student. Understanding how my students learn can provide me with insights as to how to help each student learn which will minimize classroom management problems.
The aim of this unit is to reflect upon, justify and evaluate my own assessment methods and decisions in my specialist area, which is Employability Skills.
San Pasqual Union School is located in the San Pasqual Valley region southeast of Escondido, California. This small school is a one-school school district with approximately 550 students, grades pre-school to eighth grade. Students that attend San Pasqual Union are identified within three distinct groups. The majority of students are primarily Caucasian and live in a newer development, across from the school, with families who are from a mid to high socioeconomic status. Another group is Hispanic students who live in a more rural part of the valley. Lastly, within the school boundaries, is a residential high school campus for foster teens. The foster youth who are not in high school attend San Pasqual Union for eighth grade. Both the Hispanic students from the rural valley and the foster youth ride the school bus to and from school.
From an early age I found learning hard and in my early educational years I

Diagnostic/Prescriptive/Evaluative (DPE) process is a type of instruction according to Thomas (1996) that helps students with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) accomplish the best chance of success and independence, when accompanied with life goal planning, and goal instructional analysis (GIA), which is a fundamental part of the DPE teaching. The DPE process takes lesson planning, breaks down instruction into manageable segments specialized for the individual student, which provide the necessary educational flexibility to ensure successful outcomes. The first step of this process is to diagnose the student’s skill level along with his/her strengths and weaknesses, and then devise or prescribe a lesson path, where student progress can be
The aim of Performance Indicator is to increase golf ball manufacturers’ value by increasing revenue from new ball sales as a result of eliminating older, used balls through its color change coating technology. Although there appears to be a possible financial benefit based on the future perceived demand for new golf balls, PI’s new technology does not appear to have any transparent benefit or value creation for the end consumer (golfer). Consequently, no manufacturer has yet to adopt this technology.
In today’s educational environment, all students expect to receive the same level of instruction from schools and all students must meet the same set of standards. Expectations for students with learning disabilities are the same as students without any learning difficulties. It is now unacceptable for schools or teachers to expect less from one segment of students because they have physical disabilities, learning disabilities, discipline problems, or come from poor backgrounds. Standardize testing has resulted in making every student count as much as their peers and the most positive impact has been seen with the lowest ability students. Schools have developed new approaches to reach these previously underserved students while
Since the beginning of mankind, there have been attempts to figure out how and why people differ. People who study personality traits tend to focus on various aspects of human behaviors such as, social interactions, development, learning, and culture. In addition, they study physiology, genetics, and pathology. They look at all aspects of being human and try to classify, organize, and understand them. Historically
E-learning has come to dominate the strategic thinking of employers over the past decade in several countries. Only in recent years in India, there has been focus on e-learning, this is due to the recent development in MNC, BPO and IT concerns. This is widely seen due to the connected economy, become intangible and fast growing among organizations. Due to emerging MNC’s, globalisation has become one of the most important criteria to increase flexibility of communications, and hence become vital among the organization. Despite the emphasis on e-learning and large investments made on training it is still not clear and ongoing success have not yet been recognized, due to the ongoing structural changes among managements. The problem in
Designing a course can seem overwhelming. Even more so, designing a course that effectively involves and stimulates students can seem downright impossible. As an award-wining educator (student voted), I’ve constructed this guide to walk you through the process of creating interactive courses for any subject matter and via any instructional method (i.e., face-to-face, online, etc.).
