Elementary schools

It all started when I was a senior in high school and I was taking my final English class required to graduate. At first I had the attitude of a typical senior student with a bad case of “senioritis”, but that all changed once my teacher Ms. Wade began her lesson plan. I immediately fell in love with her teaching style and her enthusiasm for English, which seemed rare to come by with teachers who taught a senior level class. It was then that I knew I wanted to become a teacher and possibly major

earliest forum of elementary schools started in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1647. The schools were determined by how many families were in a town. If a town had fifty families they would have an elementary school, if the town had a hundred families then the town would have a Latin school. The objective for both types of schools was to make sure that the children of the Puritan faith could read the bible and learn about their faith. In today’s culture, the elementary schools have changed, students

Based on my experience, the findings of this study are not surprising. Science has become a major challenge for bilingual students at the elementary school level particularly those in fifth grade who are scheduled to take the Science STAAR (in the past the TAKS) for the first time. In the schools I taught, many students struggled with the Spanish version of the test. Teachers and administrators claim that the reason for the students’ failure is the vocabulary. According to them, the Spanish version

As a teacher the topic of how does standardize assessments facilalized and impeded learning on the elementary setting is very important to me. Elementary school is the start of a child formal education and the foundation to the futer. In fact, students that do poorly on standardize testing in elementary school are more likely to drop out of school, not graduate high school, be retained and be placed into remedial class. Furthermore, the students that are most likely to be affected by poor standardized

As with my own data, when analyzing the scenario from Jefferson Elementary School, I noticed how even when the numbers looked like they were learning gain, the scores went down within specific sub-groups and during specific periods of time. The data shows how 80% of the students during the school year 2006-2007 are meeting high standards in Reading. This is a strength identified in the data analysis; However, during the school year 2002-2003 the same percentage was acquired. The students who meet

Standardized tests, we start taking them in elementary school, we progress to tougher tests in high school to help us get into college, then there are even harder tests to help us get a job, but how useful, are they? Throughout elementary, middle, and high school they prepare us for these tests, students spend countless hours. As you will see in this paper these tests prepare you from elementary through high school and beyond.   Colleges look at everyone's' SAT or ACT no matter what the score they

This study filled the “elementary school participants” space in my journey through research that explores relationships between bullying, other forms of victimization, and academic achievement. Once again, I selected this article because it was recently published. It can be found in multiple databases including ERIC and Education Source. Morrow, M. T., Hubbard, J. A., Swift, L. E., (2014). Relations among multiple types of peer victimization, reactivity to peer victimization, and academic

The school I pick to research and complete a data analysis on is Madison Elementary School in Quincy, IL. I choose this school because I am from Quincy, IL and plan on going back after graduation to teach in this public-school district. Quincy, IL has five K to 3 schools and I want to research how the students are educationally for the future distract I want to teach in. Madison school is made of 354 students and 46% of those students are on free and reduce lunch program. The school has the average

SSCM Gilmore made an unannounced visit to Martinez Elementary School to conduct an interview with Madison Williams. The interview included school counselor Tamara Mathis, Madison Williams, and SSCM Gilmore. Madison is a 4th grader at the elementary school, with no known behavioral issues in class. She is known to be on time for school every day. Ms. Mathis reported that last year she was in her office a lot discussing the illness of her mother. Madison reported that she is aware what inappropriate

Elementary VS. Middle School Stages. Since the moment one is born, since the first taste of air our lunges experience, humans start to go through stages. The minute our petite feet step into elementary school, to the time we leave middle school and venture into high school; we are going through eras. Elementary school is the period from first grade to fifth grade. Middle school is the next phase from sixth grade to eighth grade. During this chapters of our lives, we acquire knowledge like sponges
