My Curriculum For The Classroom

As students move from an elementary school setting to a middle school setting, ensuring a smooth transition is a collaborative effort involving teachers, parents, students and school administration. Often parents and students are nervous about the magnitude of this transition and easing those concerns can be handled by hosting a curriculum night. The purpose of Curriculum Night is to acquaint all students and parents with their teachers and administration as well as provide useful information concerning what the student will learn and the environment in which he/she will learn. The Curriculum Night addressed in this paper is specific Exceptional Education students in the 6th grade English Language Arts co-teaching

While writing this article, I also learned new techniques, like: sitting the child with a role model student around; to ignore when they are acting out to get my attention (my students act out a lot to get my attention); to try to make him raise his hand if he wants to express himself and being understood; to send daily/weekly progress reports home; and other accommodations. I honestly believe that these techniques can help me much more in the classroom. For this reason, I will be talking with my director and parents to implement some of them. Maybe they will help my children in their homes

The purpose of the Comprehensive Curriculum Project (CCP) is to analyze the myriad of issues that have arisen over the last few years revolving around curricula and its use in the classroom, school, and district. With the 2010 state adoption of the Common Core, educators experienced many different transitional issues and developmental issues revolving around the curricula. In order to develop a deeper understanding of these issues it is important to conduct interviews, look at the Teacher Working Conditions survey, and to analyze local organizational models that might affect the transition to the new standards.

Mrs .Sikkema said she has foyr high achiever students and two students who are on behavioral plans (Sikkema,2015,personal communication). She also said it is important to document and observe the students so you can understand their needs. I like how Mrs. Sikkema meet the learning needs of all the children in her classroom. Mrs.Sikkema help me to do my lesson plan in a timely manner. When I observe the classroom I was shock that the students was well behaved and attentive to the students. I have a lot of expereiences implementing different leson plans which was time consumer but it help me to do be able to implemnent a lesson plan in the future. Differentiated Instruction for Exceptional Learners provides an introduction to children and youth with a wide range of exceptional educational needs. There are five learning style auditory, visual, tactile, kinesthetic, and tactile/ kinesthetic (Differeitate Instructional

Dear Principal, a class that specializes in focus, prioritizing, organization and study skills is absolutely necessary for any Middle School student. At my age and younger, students have a tendency to be disorganized both physically and mentally. I have a knack for losing and forgetting my homework assignments and my grades suffering. I know I am not alone in this struggle against clutter and forgetfulness. Critical thinking classes provide a student with structure, study skills and the art of prioritizing. I know personally the effects of school on a student who is unprepared and disorganized. The stress and sleepless nights can be avoided with a class dedicated to the student's future. Unlike Math and Language Arts, this class would be

“One of the essential roles of special education teachers is coteaching and working with other professionals, as well as communicating with family members and between special education teachers and other school-related professionals(Vaughn & Bos, 2015, p. 114)”. With the importance of a least restrictive environment special education and general education teachers are working together in a classroom with varying levels and abilities of learners. It is vitally important to have an effective relationship between the two teachers while developing and implementing lesson plans for learners with special needs. The physical space and dynamics of the classroom should fit the needs of the students and the established procedures should ensure a highly functional environment. Importantly, educators need to communicate to families “encouragement about what they can do at home and about an effective plan for providing instructional supports for their child(Vaughn & Bos, 2015, p. 114)”.

Schools are always changing and evolving with new students every year; so why not change some other things to benefit the school system. Changing and adding different curriculum in the school environment, is something that should be considered to benefit Streator High School. For example, changing the school starting time to give students more time to prepare themselves for another day at school. Another change that would be advantageous to be brought into Streator High School is to add open campus lunch. Changing up the curriculum would also be obliging. Adding a sign language class would be beneficial to staff and faculty. This would be for students to be able to interact with others that use that for their only communication with others, resulting in a closer, more friendly school environment. There would be an overall positive impact in the school community by adding these changes. More involvement, improvement in the the economy of our town, and improving the overall academics at the high school would be the result of these changes.

Throughout twelve years working with young children I have come across with children with different needs, culture, social economic and different family structure. Each child is unique and so fore they must be treated as unique individuals. Each lesson plan should be written considering each child needs, social economic, or family structure. My plan to create a curriculum that fits and benefits all children that I will be serving is to first of all, consider each child individual needs then their families needs.

The creative curriculum is based on observing and helps develop children and their environment. The creative curriculum provides learning experiences that facilitate growth and development children. The environment and classroom space are divided into different areas that help enhance activities with manipulatives and learning materials. These areas include: blocks, dramatic play, art, library among others. Activity areas are created to support the specific learning abilities of the children.

The debate about appropriate curriculum for young children generally centers on two options: free play and basic activities vs. straight academics (which is what many kindergartens across the country have adopted, often reducing or eliminating time for play). A new report, “Lively Minds: Distinctions between academic versus intellectual goals for young children,” offers a new way to look at what is appropriate in early childhood education.

It was a rainy morning in mid-October. My mortar platoon was tasked to do a week’s worth of dismounted patrols tasked with clearing compounds of interest of IED factories, weapons caches, and drug stockpiles (mainly marijuana). The patrol from the previous day ended with an hour’s worth of small arms and several IEDs, therefore, I knew that today would most likely be the same. At around 0600 we mounted in our MRAPs and Strykers and, additionally, joined by Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD), Sappers, and Afghan National Army (ANA) commandos. After a 15 minute drive, my patrol dismounted towards our first in our series of 5. This area was in between Zangabad and Masumghar. We made use of a few dirt trails that winded in between grape fields

One reason why we believe that this novel is unsuited for the grade 11 curriculum is because of the language and references it uses. In Brave New World, Huxley uses many references to Shakespeare’s stories such as: The Tempest, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and King Lear. In the past, we most likely would have read these stories in detail at school; however in present day, we do not go in depth with as many of them as before. Since we do not have much knowledge with Shakespeare, many of the references to these stories will be unknown to the present and future generations. This would mean many readers would be unable to understand many of the point that Huxley is trying to express through these references. Another area that may be confusing would

The next heated debate, and just as important, in psychology is whether or not there is a common core of knowledge that every psychologist knows or should know. Benjamin (2001)’s article titled, American Psychology‘s Struggles With It’s Curriculum, discussed the history of psychology and the many attempts there has been to create a core curriculum for doctorate programs. Conferences and conferences over many years have fallen shorts to identifying what a common core should like and what a student graduating with a doctorate ought to know. However, the lack of a core isn’t a down fall for psychology, in fact it is a strength of its field. As a field right now there is enough of a core to create an environment within it, where all psychologists

Throughout the day teachers are faced with teaching math, science, language arts, and social studies. While teaching these subjects the teacher has to be educated in all of the different subjects because students will have questions about all of the different subjects. In classrooms today, many subjects are focused on math, reading, and writing because these are the subjects on the standardized tests. Depending on the district and state, there may be outlines of the curriculum. For example all of the elementary schools in Albany County’s district follow the same math outline. With this being said, I do think it is important to follow these outlines, but I think it is important that we are not focused on the assessment. Teachers’ should be focused on the students’ learning and how they are retaining the information. While learning to teach I have watched a few teachers shut down students; questions about certain subjects because it was not a subject they needed to learn. Throughout the year we will have to cover different standards and take multiple assessments, but throughout the school year I want my students to feel excited and ask questions. Questions allow students and teachers to grow, and theses questions may not fall in the standardized test are. These questions are so important and as teachers we should answer them because our student are interested in what they are asking. Teachers have the responsibility to make sure students feel like they

The scenario that would fit my curriculum the best would be, scenario number three. Scenario number three is for implementing a program that covers parents with young children from birth to age three. This would match up with the early head start curriculum by providing for families in the early stages with prenatal care. Later in the child’s life a transition is made to school where it would be made sure that a child’s overall health, physical, and mental development were well taken care of. This program would ensure that children would have a head start to their education and development in this scenario. Hence how the curriculum got its
