The Family And Consumer Science Class

“We need to talk about your daughter's performance,” my homeroom teacher, Mrs. Nelson, baldly admitted to my father. “She, no doubt, is a wonderful student,” she beamed at me, yet her smirk did not seem to reach her black, stern eyes, “she has perfect attendance, always has assignments and homework done, never talks unless called on, and just in whole, a polite and good-natured, young lady. But, she is still struggling immensely. As a result, I deem that it would be

Every student is different, from how they learn to how much effort do they put in when studying. But with the right teacher guiding them to success, nothing is impossible. So, how do we motivate the future generation to succeed in school? The Perils and Promise of Praise, by Carole S. Dweck. The author focus on how to motivate students to succeed in school. From how you talk to them, motivate them to learn and rewarding them.

From emancipation leading all the way to the 20th century, African American women struggled to find better opportunities outside of their agricultural laborer and domestic servant roles. In Cooking in Other Women’s Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960, author Rebecca Sharpless illustrates how African American women in the American South used domestic work, such as cooking, as a stepping stone from their old lives to the start of their new ones. Throughout the text, Sharpless is set out to focus on the way African American women used cooking to bridge slavery and them finding their own employment, explore how these women could function in a world of low wages, demanding work, and omnipresent racial strife, and refute stereotypes about these cooks. With the use of cookbooks, interviews, autobiographies, and letters from the women, Sharpless guides readers to examine the personal lives and cooking profession of these African American women and their ambition to support themselves and their families.

The teachers profiled in “Unforgettable Miss Bessie”, “My Favorite Teacher”, and “And the Orchestra Played On” are remembered and admired by the narrators. Miss Bessie, Miss Hattie, and Mr. K. possessed significant qualities that made them remarkable educators. They inspired and encouraged students. They only wanted the best for their students and prepared them for their futures, enabling them to overcome difficulties in school. Besides the content of their subject matter these educators their taught students to believe that their lives and future all depends from themselves: whether they would choose the clean asphalt road or dirty, bumpy one.

The exuberant and laid back Miss Hancock made for a great elementary teacher but not so much for secondary. The high school students quickly strip Miss Hancock “of [her] 15 years of overblown confidence” (77). In reality, the students need a sterner teacher that can balance laid-back with discipline. Moreover, Miss Hancock is too dependent on her confidence; as soon as her confidence is broken she becomes pathetic. A “desperate

She was unapologetic about treating her students, especially her honors ones, like adults. She was strict about plagiarism and demanded our full efforts. Within our social studies curriculum, she found ways to infuse valuable life lessons and talk

Furthermore, Miss Moore’s teaching is related to elementary school teachers do to the teachers of elementary schools have to lead the student on how to take the first step towards a better education. Just like Miss Moore, elementary school teachers have a hard time controlling the students because they are very inpatient and just want to do whatever is fun rather than learning something that could benefit them later in future like learning how to read. Both the students need a teacher that will lead them in the right direction Just like Miss Moore and the elementary teachers by showing them the better.

I believe each and every student is capable of learning and achieving academic success, however some children require individualized support to ensure their success. A strength I posses that supports high academic expectations for all Houston ISD students is my ability to motivate and empower young children of all types to want to be successful. I am committed to creating a classroom culture where high expectations are set and most importantly constantly communicated to students. I have the ability to lead and differentiate engaging lessons where the diverse learning needs of all students are supported. I am a teacher that believes high academic expectations will be met when lessons are presented in a way that suits all learning styles. I use classroom management strategies to set students up for success.

Ella Flagg Young was a great benefit to the education system. She cared deeply about her students as well as the teachers that worked with her. We can all look up to her example. This paper will discuss more about her life and the positive influence she had on those that she met. Her background will be discussed as well as her contributions to the education system. I will also talk about how her improvements in education have made a difference in today’s society. Included in this paper will be my personal opinion of how she impacted students and teachers.

Some of the ideals and principles are mindsets that an educator must possess, but many of them are also tangible goals that will help the teacher be the very best and provide the best education they can for each child they encounter. Providing an excellent education for children cannot happen without the parents. Parents need to be aware of the ways that the teacher is educating their child and helping him or her develop the skills that they need to be successful. Furthermore, teachers need to be proactive and continue taking classes to learn more about the different ways that they can improve student learning, motivation, and development. When communication between parents and educators is strong and teachers are continuing to using highly efficient strategies to teach children, the children will overcome their adversities and be productive and successful adults, in the

Family and Consumer Sciences Education has tremendously evolved since its beginning roots with Ellen Swallow Richards. FCS has obtained a new role within public schools and the community, far different than it was before. What was previously seen as the classes for "women" is now a requirement for high school graduation plans. The positive societal views on Family and Consumer Sciences is increasing the execution in the furthering of this program. The following analyzes and examines the Family and Consumer Sciences curriculum that is currently being implemented into Texas public schools.

The teacher used various grouping techniques such as untracking, regrouping, and cross-age grouping. These techniques benefited the students in various ways because they would not only learn from the teacher but they would also learn from each other. When they were doing an assignments and were grouped in different ways it made it easier on the teacher because instead of always asking the teacher for assistance they would use each other as resources when they didn’t know the answer. Motivation was also a key topic covered in chapter 10 of the book and in there it gave various examples of different types of motivation. Like with many other GED programs “desire was the key factor for success.”(Shaw, Tham, Hogle, and Koch 2015). These students had a sincere motivation to finish their education and move on to a post-secondary education in order to acquire a better living situation. Baycich explains some reasons for motivation when stating, “The reasons they decided to pursue postsecondary education…was encouragement from families…being role models for their children…hope for better employment…as a way out of waiting tables…” (Baycich 2003). All the students I had the pleasure of observing also had similar reasons to continue their education and that motivation made them better students. “Teachers played a central role… still involved and importantly so… support was

As consumerism grows, corporations exploits the high school learning environment with their ads. For years, the companies have sponsored high school sports, libraries, music rooms and even the cafeteria. In a world constantly plagued with advertisements and corporate influences, high schools should avoid falling into these consumerist practices because advertisements stifle learning. Holding education highly, parents enroll their teenagers in high school to learn more about physics, American history, and pre-calculus. Since competition for certain jobs such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers continue rise, education becomes a necessary asset in the world. With impressionable minds, teenagers surrounded by advertisements will learn to buy certain

I asked for the teachers educational goals and wasn’t surprised that our goals shared some of the same objectives. In terms of teaching she wanted to provide the best education possible and go over and beyond the call of duty to make that a reality, without excuses. Should a student need additional tutorial assistance due to performing below grade level she would set up a schedule to make those accommodations.
