The Basis Of Our Concept For Security Comes From Our Experience Here At St. Michael 's College

While shadowing at Ridge Elementary School, I noticed that some of the students seemed to be on different social-emotional scale levels. Some were natural born leaders and some were not which is okay. The natural born leaders would take charge of group assignments and the other children had no problem being a follower. Either way, the assignments that they had got done every time. I perceived almost immediately that an excess amount of the school’s students fell under three complexions. The three were mostly Hispanic, moderate Black/African descent, and few Caucasian. Since the school was mostly Hispanic this lead to the school has a lot of concentration on reading improvement clubs, in other words, bilingual education program which could be a great benefit for students who need the extra assistance. Taking a glance at the religious diversity in the classroom there were hard if any no visible religious diversities. Due to the majority of the school is the same ethnicity I am making an assumption the culture practiced the same religion which is why there is a lack of diversity in that area. More diversity should be added to this school district I believe the most impactful, and teachable moments are derived from a fellow diverse

It has been stated and understood that the purpose of education was best explained by John Dewey and was defined as transferring knowledge to young minds while preparing them for specific roles throughout society. Education must empower children and provide them with a sense of courage, inspiration, and worth. It is not simply teaching a set standard or curriculum. Teaching and learning should focus on values, attitudes, behaviors, and principles to help students learn to be unique yet commendable contributing citizens in a world filled with diversity. In order to conquer such goals, it is important to include all the variables, teachers, students, parents, curriculum, standards, and the community’s position. Without one of these vital roles, everyone will suffer and the overall goal will be that much more difficult to reach. The students, teacher, and community all take responsibilities in educating today’s children regardless of their ethnic, cultural, religious or sexual beliefs. In my classroom it is vital for students to feel comfortable, heard, and appreciated.

We have to provide multiple opportunities for students to grow and learn. We need to be a culturally diverse school district that accepts everyone and encourages a pluralistic culture. We need to work together with our

This course has really enlightened my view of being able to learn the value of linguistic and cultural diversity and the influential learning opportunities it gives today’s classrooms and schools. We as teacher educators were allowed to examine our attitudes, beliefs, and preferences regarding linguistically and culturally diverse students, families, and communities and learn methods for working together to confirm high levels of learning for all students. Also, strategies for guaranteeing

We will house kids who are products of all facets of society. For example, children of immigrants, children who have affluence, children who are loved and cared for greatly and children who may be in a situation of neglect. Teaching is about reaching out to each student, helping them to overcome challenges and be the best that they can be. It seems that an increasing number of these challenges may not be academic in nature. I believe that conquering these challenges actually beings with the little community forming within our classrooms. As teachers we have the obligation to teach our students how to have respect and compassion for one another. How to be on the same team and work together, no matter each person’s background.

The Cabot School District is committed to meeting the needs of all students not only academically but also socially and culturally by creating an atmosphere that embraces diversity and provides students with meaningful diversified and multicultural educational opportunities. The goals and objectives set forth in this strategic planned are aimed at providing a

    The diversity in our public schools is ever increasing, with this teachers are beginning to recognize the need to expand their classroom curriculum to include other cultures. Understanding diversity provides context for students and allows them to thrive in most social environments. They key to this understanding lies with support from administrative and teachers “sensitivity of the various cultures reflected in students populations,” (Smith) meanwhile maintaining an unbiased outlook. Involving discussions on music, history, food and of other cultures provides a general awareness for students. Theres types of lessons can and should be taught year round and not just around the

Recently at Rockville high school a 14 year old girl was raped by two older kids in the bathroom. Because of this incident, Montgomery County has realized how poor the security is in each school. They are enforcing new rules to make the schools more secure. I agree with the new change in security because some schools might not have security cameras or guards to protect the school. But, some people also don’t agree with the new rules.

As educators, it is important for us to understand the cultural diversity we face in our classroom. We can strengthen our relationship by communicating with the student, as well as the family. Cultural diversity can help us when we expand our search in this area to better educate us and help prepare a curriculum to better educate our students in communicating with all cultures.

Several people have observed the lack of security that schools possess. When thinking about our own security right here in Marion, and looking at the school layout, the buildings are scattered. We have five different buildings to our school. We have security cameras, but we often do not think anything of it when a stranger

This past week I implemented a five day Social Studies/ELA unit that incorporated reading, writing, vocabulary, whole and small group and centers activities. The unit was designed to comprehend ways in which diversity influenced reading and writing in my students. Furthermore, it provided differentiated instruction and instructional materials to meet the needs of my struggling students and ELL students. Creating this lesson was truly enjoyable. As a third grade

Many people criticize the proposal of new locks and suggest that there are other methods that will accomplish the same goal, however none are quite as effective or immediate as installing new locks. Other defensive measures can be put into place, such as cameras, but these measures will not be as immediate or effective of a solution as better locks. Cameras may catch the perpetrator the morning after, when the robbery and break-in is discovered, but having solid doors and secure locks will prevent the crime from happening in the first place. If the criminal can not enter the school, the people inside can have a better peace of mind that they are protected along with their valuable equipment.

Cumberland Elementary is a very diverse school. The current enrolment of the school is 673 students according to Compass. The students range from thirty-one different countries and include seventeen different languages. Only about half of the students are Caucasian and the rest are of different ethnicities. The second largest race in the school is Asian. As a teacher, this diversity means that I will have to make accommodations for students who do not speak English as a first language. This can also give me opportunities to discuss the different cultures in

There are many factors that play a role in the learning process for every human being. Race, religion, language, socioeconomics, gender, family structure, and disabilities can all affect the ways in which we learn. Educators must take special measures in the delivery of classroom instruction to celebrate the learning and cultural differences of each of their students. As communities and schools continue to grow in diversity, teachers are searching for effective educational programs to accommodate the various learning styles of each student while promoting acceptance of cultural differences throughout the classroom. It no longer suffices to plan educational experiences only for middle-or upper class white learners and then

At Carthage High School there are two very distinct categories that students are a part of: “Hispanic” and “everyone else”. Over the past decade the school district has seen a dramatic increase in the number of Hispanic students that are being enrolled in our district. There have been numerous attempts to help meet the needs of our Hispanic students, most of them are English Language Learners (ELL), and while there has been progress made, there is much more that our school could be doing for these students. Data from state test results and annual yearly reporting (AYP) show our minority students are making progress but still fall significantly behind the non-ELL peers. Teachers are the key to seeing our Hispanic students achieve higher rates of success because they have the largest effect on the daily motivation and learning of these students in the classroom. Using interviews, observations, and artifacts produced by students my action research plan will show successful methods being used in the classroom and which methods are not helping to achieve the desired results for our students. My action research plan will also help bring to light the social issues that are being dealt with in our school and building as a direct result of the influx of diversity in our community and school. Our school is trying to aid in this area by introducing programs aimed at helping bridge the gap between the diverse cultures in our community. These programs will be reviewed to see if
