Introduction. Within This Paper, I Want To Take You On

By providing different learning experiences in the curriculum teachers will be able to meet the needs of each student’s learning style. For ELL students, New Caney Elementary offers Bilingual programs dedicated to teach both languages, Spanish and English, that will essentially allow ELL students to learn the language. Programs like these were created to help students to thrive academically no matter their circumstance. To assess students at all times, one as a future educator must ensure that we are assessing the students in each lesson plan. The teacher must ensure that each student is grasping the content presented to them by monitoring their gained knowledge. In order implement the units from the curriculum, I will strive to provide various learning experiences to each student. I will provide visual activities for my visual learners, have hands on activities for my hands-on learning students, and provide discussions for the ones that learn through hearing and repeating things out loud. Each learning experience is crucial to the student’s academic success. By providing different types of learning experiences I will be able to make the lessons more effective and

Allen, Ms. Chursenoff and Ms. Diaz were able to overcome many of the previously mentioned challenges by desiring to understand their student's challenges and realizing the responsibility that they hold in their education. Ms. Chursenoff observed that it was important to "become familiar with a variety of cooperative learning strategies" (Ariza – Whelan, Eileen N., p. 4, 2010). She also realized the importance of always "implementing instructional strategies that are congruent with Hispanic cultural traits" (Ariza – Whelan, Eileen N., p. 5, 2010), in her situation, but those strategies can be utilized for all cultural traits, as well. Ms. Diaz "realized the only way she could help her students become successful in learning a second language was by learning what she did not know about their culture" (Ariza – Whelan, Eileen N., p. 7, 2010). That excites me! I would love to study and research other cultures. I strongly believe teachers do "have the clearest understanding of what needs to be done to successfully educate students in today's world" (Ariza – Whelan, Eileen N., p. 7, 2010), contrary to what the majority of people may surmise. I absolutely love how Ms. Allen advocates for her students. She stands firm against the ideas of policy makers to be the ones who make the laws for the children in her classroom. She shares the same beliefs and values that I have as a teacher. I truly admire

Having discovered my calling to work with nontraditional students, I took a position with St. Charles Youth and Family Services as a Teacher of Experiential Education. This position allowed me to interact with urban students from MPS who were expelled, court ordered or Special Education students who were deemed best suited to self-contained program. I loved the challenge every day. Every student was so different, but they all wanted and craved the same thing… acceptance and unconditional love. I wanted more.

In February, Galaviz will be traveling to the NEA Foundation Gala in Washington, D.C., to receive $10,000 and the NEA Foundation’s Horace Mann Award for Teaching Excellence. As one of only five recipients in the nation, this prestigious honor really reinforces Galaviz’s devotion to continually going above and beyond for her students, something that, for her, starts long before the start of the school year. Every summer, Galaviz goes door to door, meeting with the families of her incoming students. As an educator, she believes that knowing about the student, their family dynamic and their home helps her to be a better teacher. “I

There is a growing body of research that Hispanic students can achieve, but it will require additional modification and support from the school and community. In the United States, students from linguistically and diverse groups continue to fall behind Caucasian students in academic achievement. The purpose of this paper is to address the educational needs of Hispanic students and provide strategies that will help these students and educators face these challenges. The first strategy is to offer

The instructional setting is two eighth grade classrooms with class sizes of 28 and 32 students. Of the 60 students, ten are Hispanic, four are Asian, and one is African-American. All ten Hispanic students are bilingual with overall California English Language Development Test (CELDT) classifications of: one student intermediate, three early advanced, and one advanced. The remaining five Hispanic students have been reclassified to English proficient and do not require EL support. Four students are foster youth. Nine students receive special education support.

She gave a unique perspective into Regina Public Schools and highlight the systems specific goals along with their successes and failures. Underlining it all was her message to put the students and to provide the best education for all kids. These goals were measurable and attainable. Kaylan Gazda spoke about the elementary school system and her experience in a variety of grades and schools. Her time in an experimental classroom and in another country provided many challenges. However, those challenges and obstacles made her a better teacher for her current job in a split classroom. Jordan McFarlan was able to provide insight in process of building a new program in a high school from the ground up. He was able to list challenges he faced and ways to respond to those challenges. Jesamy Unger presented what is was it is like to be a student taking education and the lessons she learned throughout her journey. She gave us useful advice for our field experiences and the tip that not everything you need to know about being a teacher will be taught in school. Every member of the panel highlighted you need to make relationships and networks with students, colleagues and even

The second classroom I observed was a first grade class of twenty-five students. Students in this class were all of Mexican descent and labeled as early intermediate English language learners. The

This chapter was about two classrooms that worked at making bilingual picturebooks. Before designing their bilingual picturebooks, both classes got guidance from their teachers, Latino picturebook mentors, and help from each other. Nancy, Corinna, and Angie, they are all teacher-researchers who wanted to include more innovative and culturally responsive visions of writing in elementary schools. However, the teachers experienced the limitations of state-and district-mandated writing as English-only and paper-and-pencil tasks. Therefore, the teachers concluded that they would focus their learning on picturebook making. To evoke personal themes and histories in authentic ways, they looked to award-winning Latino children’s picturebook makers. Monica, a student from Nancy’s classroom, integrated her Spanish to

In this essay I will be exploring the concepts of ideology and symbolic and cultural capital in regards to the ABC television series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with Ty Pennington. The show is an American reality television series providing home makeovers for less fortunate families and community schools. The show is hosted by former model, carpenter and veteran television personality Ty Pennington who is pleasing to the ear and eye. Each episode features a family that has faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship such as a natural disaster or a family member with a life-threatening illness, in which the family is in need of new hope. The show 's producers coordinate with a local construction contractor, which then

Today’s classroom is very diverse and the activities should represent the classroom culture. The development of children is centered on what is taught in the classroom. Therefore, the language, intellectual, personality, social and moral, and aesthetic and creative development of preschool age children should be enhanced through multicultural activities and lessons.

The following work is an analysis and exploration of the Heron’s (1975) communication model, in relation to nursing but also my own future practice. The purpose of this assignment is to show the links between the model and nursing practice when dealing with a range of people and situations. Furthermore, it’s to link a reliable and accurate nursing theory to my practice to be able to develop in my nursing practice throughout my career. Heron’s (1975) communication model looks at the verbal interactions between different kinds of people and the way they verbally communicate in different situations. To help to explore the links and relations between Heron’s model and nursing, I will be using an image to represent the relation

The first week of this unit I had a mix of emotions, excitement and stress . The topics covered each week have giving me the opportunity to increase my knowledge in many areas. Having an interest in teaching when I started this course has now grown to having an interest in learning as well. Reflecting on my education as a child has shown me the growth in teaching and our current education system.

My philosophy of teaching is deeply rooted in nurturing the potential each and every student in my classes. Providing a creative environment that allows self assessment, growth, group interaction and mentorship are at its very core. Having taught in Higher Education for many years, and as an instructor of Media Arts and Animation, and Game Design, I have had the amazing opportunity to work with some of the brightest and creative young professionals. Teaching has not only broadened my love of art and exploration, but my determination to help students that do not have the confidence to persevere through their education, yet have the passion to follow their dreams.
