This is an artifact that shows my dedication to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning for my school and how to engage parents, board members, and co-workers to enhance the education of our student together. My artifact is an invitation for an onsite field trip for each grade level class, parents, administrators, and board members. As a special education, self- contained teacher, I have the privilege of teaching students, K-5th, all subjects to some and the same opportunity to share a collaboration

Psychologists base their work on the science of psychology and follow a code of ethics, part of that code is competence.

cell phones, computers, laptops, televisions, DVDs, CDs; the list can go on forever. Now, we can even incorporate technology into the classroom, which only seems appropriate with the times we are in. The evolution of technology continues to sky-rocket to new levels every day. But what types of technology can we use in the classroom? The most common technological devices seen in many classrooms are the overhead projectors and televisions with VCR/DVD players (Brill 2007). While these forms of
Taking in consideration all the aforementioned, I decided to interview a youth specialist education professor. I wanted to know what truly inspired him to change his major and become a Special Education educator. Malcolm J. Warren who was a political science major who got into education on a whim. He started as a substitute teacher then as a paraprofessional and then was hired as a teacher. He has been working with special education students for about four years.

Even so, these results
Teaching English Language Learning students have become the talk for schools across the nation during the past decade. As of the 2010-2011 school year, English Language Learners made up 13% of student population nationwide (Hill, 2012). As our nation grows in population, the diversity of our nation grows as well.
