Reflection For Individualized Education Program

I believe that I met this standard because I created a lesson plan each week that included reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking skills that were developmentally appropriate for the student and addressed his academic needs. I also created activities that the student enjoyed so that he would be motivated to learn new and challenging concepts. Each activity on the lesson plan correlated to an Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS) for his grade level.

These standards are terrific guidelines with which teachers and students can use to mark progress. Some may seem daunting to a class at first, not to mention challenging from a teacher’s perspective, but with that comes a dedication to always strive for excellence and keep the highest expectations for teacher and student. Now, if a teacher is afforded the knowledge of these standards in advance, why shouldn’t their students be prepared for what’s to come as well? Given these guidelines, a teacher and his/her class can prepare as a team to include these standards while leaving room for their own interests.

Tutoring these courses including six other biology and chemistry courses, highlights my proficiency in this competency.I acquired this competency by completing over 10 laboratory sections for different sciences course, including physics, biology, and chemistry. As a paramedic instructor, I also have experience conducting laboratory skill stations for students. These laboratory stations consist of a variety of procedure and assessment

Since then, I have tutored students of all ages, and I have also volunteered as a concierge with the UC San Diego Health System, run charity events for the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito through United Way, was president of Vista High School’s Visual Art Honor Society where I led community beautification projects, and volunteered at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas as the secretary’s assistant, while also participating in Scripps’ Young Leaders in Healthcare program for 3 years where I was exposed to prevalent healthcare issues and potential careers.

Section C states that “teachers use the curriculum framework in their planning to ensure there is ample attention to important learning goals and to enhance the coherence of the classroom experience for children” (Copple and Bredekamp, 2009). With this lesson plan, I followed the VA SOL 1.1 (a) First Grade Curriculum Framework in Mathematics. This lesson plan allows students to count from 0 to ten, while the center activities allow them to count from 0 to 100 and write the corresponding

When I began this course, I looked up a relevant question that produced over a million results. If you guessed my question as “what makes a good tutor?” you are a sharp shooter. The answers were as numerous as they were diverse. Unsurprisingly, my online search for sole answer ended in no avail. Conversely, my experiences shadowing Abby, Sarah, Daniel, and Rose have left me with two certainties about tutoring; its not enough to be all you can be, you must focus on helping the students be all they can be. Secondly, to help students be the best they can be, tutors should see students not as a universal but as an individual. As writing tutors, each of these skilled WITSs showcased these certainties by tailoring their sessions to suit the needs of each student, remaining empathetic, curious, and above all adaptive in their tutoring.

Of the four main topics addressed in the core standards, English and Mathematics have the most extensive criteria. Similar to the Language Arts category, administrators have divided the Math program; however, the first section ends at eighth grade instead of sixth. In the early elementary branch, students are expected to have the ability to count as high as 100, identify and describe simple shapes, and complete basic arithmetic, including multiplication and division. As adolescents reach middle school and junior high levels of education, teachers begin to inform

Undertaking the microteaching in our tutorial and looking back on the feedback given allowed me to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses when conducting a class lesson. While I felt nervous and anxious, I was perceived to be confident and clear in front of the classroom. Having this type of feedback has truly inspired me to believe in myself more. Research states that ‘high levels of self-efficacy among teachers - defined as belief in their ability to teach, engage students and manage a classroom - have a positive impact on students' attainment’ (Wiggins, 2015). This research gives me even more inspiration to be confident. Being a confident teacher, a leader in the classroom will directly affect the students who I teach and will hopefully inspire them to feel confident as a person and in the work they do in class. ‘Teaching is leadership, and leadership begins in the classroom as teachers, act with meaning, seeking greater learning for their students and colleagues (Churchill, Et al, 2015). In the future, I will be working on my power in the classroom, while I want it to be evident, I also don’t want it to be overly exerted.

When I first walked into the classroom on Monday, October 25th, I was very nervous and anxious of how the MET meeting would occur. I did not know what to expect and what the outcomes would be. It was a very different learning experience than I have experienced before. I am used to learning the material in class and then being tested on that knowledge. However, this project went above and beyond. It made me realize that this is what it will be like next semester and the following semesters when I’m applying the information learned in class to my internships. Thus, made it an eye-opening experience for me.

Reflective learning and journal writing is essential and should be inculcated in learning at different levels of education. It is useful to students and professionals from various works of lives as it helps in identifying learning areas where students lack that needs to be addressed. Reflective learning helps students adopt learning strategies that would enhance active learning. It contributes to making sense of knowledge acquired, how it can be improved and applied in our daily lives. Reflection is used in decision-making at work (problem-solving or giving feedback as a manager), in the course of doing business, in schools before turning in an assignment and personally (inward reflection of negative attitude that

Education was created as a way for everyone to grow up and have an equal opportunity to pursue wealth. (Spring) This does not guarantee that you will become wealthy but it gives you an equal opportunity to succeed. Growing up I thought that the education that I was received was the same that all children received. However, upon concepts brought up in education I learned that the education that everyone received growing up was not the same as everyone else. I learned that the education that I experience was based where I lived where I went to school and my racial background. Some concepts, that I learned from urban education about my own education experience was that there are different types of schools, tracking in schools, and student teacher interaction.

In a prior life, I worked for a junior college. I started there shortly after Barbra and I were married and before Christopher, Caitlin and Matthew came along. I started out teaching – teaching classes in accounting, business and computers. During my time at the college, I held several administrative positions as well, including academic dean, financial aid officer and executive director.

America's victory against Great Britain in 1786 not only gained them independence but the status of a world superpower; where the world would watch our every move and imitate it. Now, 241 years later we still stand as one of the superpowers of the world. Yet, our testing scores place 31st in the world. Which is why our government has been working on improving our education system, hoping to improve our scores. Yet even with all the attention on improving our system, there haven't been many changes; and our test scores have barely risen. If so many people believe education isn't going down the right path, then why hasn't it changed, in so many years? International testing scores are rising and surpassing ours. Yet, the United States is not making progress in growing educational programs. Over the years we have seen other countries education scores rise, and surpass ours. Despite our current efforts, it raises the question, when will we actually improve our education, and catch up with the world? Even though there have been some changes, our education needs to reworked, and re evaluated, so our scores will rise, and we can catch up with the rest of the world.

Education is indubitably vital to becoming a great person, who can articulate themselves efficiently. Having a plethora of intelligent family members, education is always a topic of discussion when both sides of my family is around. From report cards to GPA’s, words of excitement always fill the room with warm rays of compliments. Even with the notion of needing to keep my grades up, I sometimes make mistakes, causing me to get an earful from my mother and father. With my own self-motivation to be the best I can be, my grandfather plays a big key in wanting to keep my grades up and succeed. Throughout everything I do he's always been and is willing to give a helping hand. I reflect his traits to help become the best I can possibly be.

St. Philips is a one - floor, ranch - styled school on the outskirts of the Albany Park neighborhood. This is a private institution that operates based on funds provided to them through tuition and donations. There is no shortage of happiness in this school as you can hear children’s laughter throughout the halls and through the windows that are adjacent to the play yard. St. Philip is a small school with a total of 7 classrooms, a few of which grades are combined really provides a unique opportunity for one on one learning for students, better quality teaching for employees as they have more time to focus on their students, and ingenuity as lessons are crafted and modified with combined grades in mind,.
