Substitute teacher

Why I have contempt for reading. Who grows fond of reading after years of being forced to read undesirable content and years of not being taught efficiently? Certainly not me. Ever since I can remember, reading at least one book from the Sunshine States reading list was a mandatory thing to do (in elementary and middle school). The issue is I was never interested in any of the books after grudging through the first chapter. Not to mention some actual guidance on reading would have been courteous

Becoming a teacher has been a dream of mine for several years. I always knew that teaching would be the career for me, especially when I began working in the school system as a substitute secretary. I loved working in the school environment; coming in contact with children everyday made me realize how much I would enjoy teaching a classroom full of students. Teachers play such an important role in a child’s life, sometimes being their only source of encouragement and support. As a teacher, I want

Brother Toshon has always been a person I look up too. As a mentor, he taught me his philosophy, and since I knew him, he always tried to help out the youth. I've known Brother Toshon for five years because he was an intern at Say Yes to Education which was a program for kids from the inner city. Brother Toshon was always an uncle type of figure in my life because he would give me advice that my parent couldn't give me and he was very wise. He would talk to me about girls and would also give me books

finish their homework? Well, I have the solution. I think that we should have nap time in school. With naptime, students will be able to function more easily and to a higher standard. As Anton Anderson, a high school teacher from Connecticut said, 20 extra minutes a day isn’t a substitute for 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night, but it does recharge the batteries. If 20 minutes does this much, think about what 40 minutes could do. In school, we have so much extra time so we decided to make up filler

disengagement as soon as it appears to keep it localized to one student. Currently, I am the long-term substitute for a High School Math II class featuring mostly tenth graders. At times it’s difficult to hold the attention of a room filled with snarky teenagers. I use a variety of techniques to keep my students engaged drawling from High-quality instruction, classroom management skills, and our teacher/student relationship. Every day the lesson plan for my class is fast paced and as exciting as possible

Thank you for being my substitute today. Make sure that students are sitting in their assigned seats and take attendance for every period and turn it into the office. If you have any problems do not hesitate to call the front office at *500 and have the student removed. Let me know what happened so I can take care of it on Friday when I return. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Periods American History II: Chapters 7 and 8 Vocabulary is due today. Please collect this. Students will then take the Unit 2 Test. There

Reflective Analysis This activity was different, challenging and enjoyable for the students and teacher. I could see that the students enjoyed reading “I Need My Monster” (A.Noll) and so did I. The story was comical, intense, and exciting. The more they read the more exciting it became. They want to know what was going to happen before we could turn the page. The activity helped the students to understand and expand their vocabulary. The book brought out the best in them. Using new reading strategies

like that, although our course is about content area reading, it also covers writing, another important literacy skill. I believe that reading and writing should go hand in hand. Reading can enhance writing and vice versa. I understand that some teachers consider reading first before writing because of interpreting reading as a tool to access knowledge and writing as a tool to demonstrate that knowledge. However, to me, which skill should come first is not as important as the fact that without one

abilities and talents. The same goes for classroom instruction. Teachers have the monumental task of understanding the social, cultural and cognitive behaviors of all their students. Teachers and coaches have to continue to remain flexible and be open to changes in teaching theories and techniques. The first line of education other than what is learned at the student’s home is from a teacher and a coach. It is highly important for teachers and coaches to be prepared and ready to shape these minds positively

technology consumes a great deal of what we do and how we do it, it makes sense that teachers should evaluate what role this tool should have in the classroom. What can be used as a very useful and beneficial tool to students can often become a hindrance to learning if not used properly. When done correctly, technology opens up a whole new world of resources for students in the classroom. For example, I have seen teachers use technology in their classrooms to do virtual field trips, interactive web quests
