Todays Education Has Changed Over Time

There is a clear difference from then to now. In the past school systems didn’t value

Another major issue that is addressed in the article is with the teachers and their teaching styles. The method in which most teachers teach their

Actually that is exactly it: they have been the same since their formation. Schools today are a product of history, not research. The blueprint for them was developed during the Protestant Reformation, when schools were created to teach children to read the Bible, to believe Scripture without questioning it, and to obey authority figures without questioning them (Gray). Unfortunately we just teach an academic curriculum using the same format instead of changing according to our children’s needs. Needs such as different learning styles; everyone learns a bit differently. Some are kinetic, meaning hands-on, some are auditory, meaning lectures or songs, and some are visual, meaning pictures, diagrams, and graphs. We do not cater to their varying educational needs well enough. We turn off our children’s amazing drive and capacity to learn with our schooling system by placing on average twenty-five students, all with different learning styles, in a room with a teacher trying to teach all three at the same time and it is just not efficient or very effective.

Any student, whether in elementary or college, learns better when the subject matter is thought-provoking and appealing. Traditional and old curriculum provides a baseline for students to meet and follow. Also, traditional curriculum is based of individualism and discourages exchanges between the student and teacher. Individual work teaches the child to develop internal critical thinking skills but it may bore the student. Teachers should continually interact with their students and challenge the student to think outside the box. Great teachers in today's system should help students develop a new way of thinking about history, math, english, and science and their education in general.

\item The teachers always want their lessons to be interesting and they introduce the real life problem before they can go deep into the content of the subject.

Methods of teaching: There’s a real difference in our educational system compared to when i was last in school, two decades ago. One of the changes that have been accomplished in today’s society is to memorizing instead of using technology or using multiple choice. We are more likely hands on then doing things like the 21 century. Now we have been using save word document and many other things within using technology. We have choices to

Education is an essential part in an ever growing society. It provides students the knowledge that they will use in their everyday lives. The professor that teach the students, go through a very complex training. This training make sure the person is qualified to teach. The training was had some changes from the past to the present.

Acknowledges that many factors contribute to the teaching process and require study within a greater social cultural, and historical context

Curriculum was developed the late 80s out of an aim to make learning more balanced and

there is a difference between what is taught to students, and what is learned and retained.

Wiggins & McTighe (2005) said it best “teachers are designers” and we need the right to craft our curriculum and learning experiences to meet specified purposes (Pg. 13. Ch. 1). We are all teaching different students, in different cities, in different states; all of whom that have individual strengths and weaknesses, come from various homes, a multitude of diversified backgrounds, who speak different languages and all of whom who have experienced their lives in different manners. I have been teaching for well over 11 years, and I have never once modified my teaching to meet the needs of a curriculum, I always have and will continue to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of my students.

In the practice of teaching, it is the responsibility of a teacher not only to teach students subject matter, but to teach students in order to enable them to grow and develop as a person. While it is essential for students to have an understanding of academic material, it is also equally as important that when students finish their education they have skills to use in

The class period’s objective was to develop speaking and presentation skills. To get the students engaged to participate in the lesson the teacher began the class by explaining to the students about today’s subject, “Your Earliest Memory” and what is expected from them about the assignment. Then she followed her instructions by giving the class an example, a story about her own experience to illustrate the lesson’s theme.

“It has been said: not all learning takes place in classroom. Compare and contrast knowledge gained from personal experience with knowledge gained from classroom instruction. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?“

Techniques and skills need to be learnt, and cannot be replaced by the convenience of technology. In the primary years, students ought to be grounded with the basics. Once they miss this window, it requires them more to be trained later in life. I marvel at the speed of our technology advancement, but how I desire to see academic advancement in our next generation.
