Education reflection

It's 1994 in Long Beach, California. Erin Gruwell is just starting her first teaching job, as freshman and sophomore English teacher at Woodrow Wilson High School, which, two years earlier, implemented a voluntary integration program. For many of the existing teachers, the integration has ruined the school, whose previously stellar academic standing has been replaced with many students who will be lucky to graduate or even be literate. Despite choosing the school on purpose because of its integration

Since taking my first few educational courses in education, I have realized that my philosophy on education changes as I learning more about the profession I have entered. Every time I think I have come to a final belief statement, I learn something new about teaching and sometimes the things I learn causes me to alter my philosophy. Therefore, I will share with you what I believe about teaching and what I’ve learned at this point. As a future teacher in today’s society and generation, I believe

ILAP Reflection-Special Education Process Throughout my career I have always been amazed by how little regular education teachers know about the special education process. On numerous occasions I have had teachers ask me, “Why don’t you just test him, to see if he qualifies?” And when I tried to explain that there was more to the process then just testing, most of the time the teachers would walk away in disgust, without knowing the steps we had to follow in the process.

activities and practicing similar mannerisms. However, documented research has shown that the only characteristics that we shared with these children are the random and awkward physical growth rates. According to the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE), their work This We Believe: Keys to Educating Young Adolescents states that young people will endure more rapid personal changes between the ages of ten and fifteen, than at any other period of their lives. This is the period of time where

I vividly remember the first day I walked into the local middle school to complete my first day of observation in a special education classroom. Nothing I ever encountered came close to preparing me for what I experienced over the course of the semester, then again, nothing ever came close to how rewarding it felt being there for the students. At 8 o’clock in the morning, I met my assigned mentor alongside her partners in crime, the paraprofessionals. We waited patiently for the students to arrive

Every single teacher working at a school must possess certain attributes, so that he/she is able to help the students needed. Teachers do play a big role in the student’s life, as they are considered to be the window through which students will see their future. There might be students that don’t have anyone that inspires them to become a professional. This means that as teachers we should be fine and positive role model to them. Many people that have gotten the opportunity to know me closer would

Welcome to the beginning of the Fall 2016 academic semester and thank you for your service to the UTC Counselor Education program. I hope that you have enjoyed a relaxing summer and are ready to begin working with your Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern for the next 16 weeks. I wanted to take the opportunity to let you know about some changes that we’ve had in faculty. Last year Dr. Jeff Sweeney was with us for a one-year appointment and decided to return to is original post with Lenoir

favorite and I wish I could occupy a desk in it every day! I have already learned a plethora of information. I can tell you about over looked innovative black inventors, the view points of Fredrick Douglas and W.E.B Dubois towards education, and about how our education system in the United States of America “arrest” our learning through its prison like teaching tactics. I have always found it very interesting that I live in the United States of America, the land of the free, the melting pot of the

Educational Diversity All I see is the same color around me. Faces of familiarity pass and I feel safe. This was my mentality for most of my life. I am from a small, agricultural town in California called Santa Maria. My whole life is based on what this town has provided for me growing up. I want to say that it had done more for me, but truthfully, I can’t quite say it did. At my high school, there seemed to be a lack of quality. It only offered 9 AP classes and had a demographics of 97%

school, I have been following news articles. News about economics, political matters, terrorist movements etc. and it has started to make me see things in a different light. I choose Education Inequality as my research topic because lately I have noticed how much school and education has made an impact on my life. Education has led me down an advanced track for all my classes, it has provided me with an amazing group of intelligent friends that push me to do excel in everything that I do, it has also
