organization that places people into Providence inner-city classrooms to work with a group or a single student as a mentor to help them with their schooling as well as act as role models. From October until May, I worked in a Kindergarten ELL classroom with a diversity of children and challenges. Although I greatly enjoyed being welcomed every week by thirty adorable six year olds smiling and running to give you a hug, I despised the way the classroom was ran. Based off both my intuition and the lessons

One day while God was looking over Earth, watching people stare at their phones, completely oblivious to the beauty and humanity surrounding them, He decided enough was enough. God spoke to Noah and said, “I will destroy this dreadful world of electronics, and only you will be able to restore humanity, Noah.” God warned Noah that a great lightning storm would come and destroy all the electronics and WiFi on Earth

relevant to the interest or understanding of the student. The tests are not even clarifying enough to make simple to teach. There are so many discrepancies, we are not even educated enough to know the simple purpose of why is it mandatory we are tested. Standardized tests are not in the best interest of the student neither enhancing the education of the student, giving ambition to learn in depth, are clear enough to cover the material, and nor is anyone observing the children to understand why it is
Parents never want to hear that their child has a life-altering disability that will require additional assistance with special services. Roughly thirteen percent of public school students are receiving special education services.

The classroom is typically a kindergarten classroom throughout the year, and is full of vibrant, engaging color. When we arrived to the classroom on the first day of the summer placement the walls were blank canvases as the previous teacher had taken all of her resources down.

There are numerous issues within our schools and classrooms, but one that is not only affecting the teachers, but it has a great impact on the students. Students fill in a classroom until there are no more empty desks
topic, but never actually saw it up close as a participant. I was not just a participant but I was an active participant. I was engaged in the learning process. In fact, every teacher in the room was actively engaged in the learning process. Everyone was not doing the same activity, but the topic at hand was the same for all participants. Thus, instruction, in a classroom, should not be one size fits all. It should be catered so the needs of each student that enters into a classroom to learn
Classroom management is the number one factor in student learning throughout the school system. How well a teacher organizes the space, time, and materials used for student learning, is the best determinant for how well a student will do in a given classroom (Wong & Wong, 2009). However, effective classroom management will include the discipline factor as well and how well they can handle bad behavior even though the goal is to create a positive learning environment Sternberg & Williams 2002 (as
