Performance has always been a concern of mine, whether it was with school, sports, or even when playing video games. For some reason when I feel that I’m under the pressure of performing, and that’s my performance is going to be “judged” by others, I start to stress. Let’s take for example two cases of two different people. X and Y. X is an athlete and Y is a student, and both of them are on a scholarship, and they need to maintain a good academic average. If X gets yelled at by his coach for bad
Consequently, high attrition rates characterize the first 3 years of teaching, underscoring a need to provide better support for beginning teachers.” Every new teacher becomes part of the school community. The special education teachers must work across the boundaries of general and special education and communicate effectively with general education teachers, related services personnel, administrators, and parents. They should know how to coordinate their work with other professionals to accomplish
Marijuana has always been a concern in how it should be dealt with, whether it be legal or illegal, if it harmful or not, and even if it is for the privileged or minorities. Marijuana brings different controversies and currently legalized in some states and not in others, but a major issue is the arrest/incarceration rates based on the ethnicity of those who use and are caught with marijuana. This leads to the question how does ethnicity play a role in arrest/incarceration rates when taking into
In conclusion, teacher attrition is a growing issue that is plaguing education. A proactive approach needs to be taken to combat this growing issue instead of a reactive approach. Teachers are leaving the profession by the thousands weekly. Students, school districts, and communities are all feeling the effects of the lack of an adequate educational system, especially in high poverty, low performing school districts. These are the districts that need quality teachers the most but are at the biggest
An evolution the role of the Principal Principals have been in American schools for more than a century; there are more principals than any other administrative office in education. The principal serves as a as a liaison between district administration, teachers, and community members (Mondale, 2001). When America was rural and the country’s population was low, schools were often single building, single classroom schools. As population increased and schools started to provide more services it
Retention or attrition problem has been studied for over 80 years. However, the main question remains: what an institution should/can do to retain a student from enrollment to graduation. Tinto 's retention theory considers lack of student engagement to be the main risk factor -- the less a student is involved in academic and social settings the higher chances he/she will drop out. (V. Tinto, 1999) Earlier studies considered environmental factors, academic success, and students ' personal characteristics
America’s education system has recently been a concern for many people. A recent international test “shows the U.S. trailing behind educational powerhouses like Korea and Finland.” (The Atlantic) In addition, the U.S. was 26th out of the 34 countries who took the International Student Exam; considering the U.S. has the world’s largest economy, this rank is abysmal. If the U.S. wants to improve their education rankings, they are going to have to look at countries who are currently seeking success
During our pre observation conference, we discussed the performance of your class in based on literacy assessment. The assessment data reflected that most of your students know the letter names and some of the letter sounds. You also shared with me that the majority of students were to some extent familiarized with the reading strategies. We set expectations for the formal observation during the literacy bundle. We discussed the learning activities and small group instruction planned for the visit
research study of The Role of the Principal and Teacher Retention. The purpose of this study is to better understand teacher retention and teacher attrition among elementary school teachers in Prince George’s County Public Schools. In this study, I will attempt to understand what factors are “in play” that result in better rates of teacher retention – specifically, what, if anything are principals in those schools doing that seem to lead to higher rates of teacher retention. You are invited because
A new term has emerged in education recently that has teachers unease with how they feel about it. The ever so emerging “flipped classroom” technique is starting to become integrated in several classrooms today. The reason so many teachers are suspicious of the technique, is because it is foreign and rather new. Traditional styled teachers are struggling to accept the new style due to the deranged forms of learning. Whereas the newer teachers are excited to track progress and learn new techniques
