My field placement is at a public school in an urban setting right outside of Philadelphia. The student body is just shy of 300 students, largely compromised of minority students. Furthermore, almost one third of the student body is visually impaired. I work in a mixed classroom of second and third graders all of whom have varying degrees of visual impairments. When I started there were nine students, but one student recently joined our class, so the class has grown to ten students. Two of these students have visual impairments severe enough that they must use braille to read and a braille typewriter to write. There is one head teacher in the classroom as well as an assistant teacher who helps out every day, so when I am present there is a ratio of three adults to ten students. The classroom itself is divided into several different sections each with specific purposes. On one side of the room, there are ten desks in two rows of four and one row of two which face a blackboard. The blackboard is always covered with the morning message, which the students are meant to copy down in their notebooks, as well as various other posters and drawings. Currently there is a large scale drawing of the cover of Charlotte’s Web covering part of the board as this book is currently being read to the class. Each student is permanently assigned to a desk and there are name tags to ensure that the students know which desk is theirs. There are also sets of cubbies affixed to each desk where

1. Question: Why does Gatto think that school is boring and childish? How does Gatto’s depiction of school compare with your own elementary and secondary school experience?
What is one of the things that most people are accustomed to? Something that has been a part of their daily life. There are many things but what I am referring to is school. School has been around for hundreds of years. Whether it was to learn about religion or the mandatory classes we take now in the 21st century, many of us have been advised to go to school. It has changed a lot over the years and the system is still trying to improve how they could better educate their students in the future. Now, after going through many levels of school, people question themselves: why did I learn all of this? They question why they couldn’t learn more about taxes, buying a house or the important aspects when you get a car. School has become a

My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm to research, my eagerness to learn, and my strong ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, accurately, and quickly, will make me an invaluable asset to the USPTO. I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc. (Nike), and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Liability Management Department (AG Office)
In addition to individual student PC’s, there are 15 traditional student desks that are used for discussion areas and for students to use when not on the PC. Some students find it more
After a while of sitting students’ eyes begin to burn from the bright fluorescent lights on the ceiling. One also begins to realize that not only are their eyes hurting but their back is as well from sitting in the small desk. A small plastic chair with a board attached to the right side, that’s what students sit in. One immediately feels bad for left handed people because writing with one’s right hand on the narrow board is hard enough as it is. With the desks being so cramped together students can only stretch out their legs so far before they hit the desk in front of them or run the risk of tripping the professor pacing a small portion of the floor in the front of the classroom. It’s warm in the classroom and only getting warmer making things even more uncomfortable.
Lanza’s classroom, one is immediately facing her desk, which is positioned in front of the windows on the opposite wall of the classroom directly across from the door. Whiteboards and bulletin boards, as well as a “Smart Board,” cover the span of the wall between the door to the hallway and Mrs. Lanza’s desk, and to the right of her desk is an instructional station comprised of two trapezoid tables pushed together with four chairs placed around it. A ledge spans in a “U” shape around the classroom, from the corner where Mrs. Lanza’s desk sits to the opposite wall. A bookcase rests on top of the ledge at the back of the classroom, and a cart containing laptops and chargers is found in the back of the classroom in front of the ledge. Two cabinets containing various classroom supplies are found on the wall opposite Mrs. Lanza’s desk. There are four clusters of student desks in the middle of the classroom. Three of the clusters contains six student desks, with the fourth containing seven. Each cluster is two desks wide by three desks long, with the fourth group having an additional desk stationed at the “head” of the cluster in the center of the two columns. A rough model of Mrs. Lanza’s classroom is as

I moved to California three years ago to pursue a Master's degree in social work at USC. During the time I have lived here, I have gained invaluable experience working full-time in the social work field. My first social work related job in California was working at an IMD step-down program for transitional aged youths and adults with dual diagnoses. From there, I began working in the Wraparound program at Aviva Family and Children's Services as a Child and Family Specialist. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with these agencies but am also very excited to begin graduate study at USC's School of Social Work since my graduate education was the reason for my move to southern California.
Inside of the classroom there was a different objective I observed such as three calendars, three tables, a cabinet, 15 pack backs on the shelves and glitter. There were 2 flags, four plants and children sitting and lunch set. There were wood blocks, children pictures, pencil and crayons. There was hand paint, one clock and three rugs. There was three teachers and one with it an apron on.
The modern classroom has many challenges that face it. Shrinking budgets, less parental involvement, higher expectations, and growing class sizes, just to name a few. If this list was not daunting enough you also have the special needs students that have an array problems in your classroom that need specialized attention, lessons and seating. There are many forms of diverse learners from students who suffer from ADHD to physical disabilities to students with autism to ones that are bullied in school. There are so many things going on in our students lives we sometimes forget they have lives, pressures and disabilities that affect their performance and attitude in our class that have a profound impact on how they learn. For this paper I
