Grading in Special Education by Susan M. Brookhart looks at a different grading strategy. She thinks students in special education need to be graded based upon their goals in their Individual Education Plan's (IEP). Brookhart expresses that grading students in special education at a lower level then everyone else is unfair to both students in special education and to those not in special education. This is an interesting article/book for parents to read because it gives them some ideas of questions to bring up to their child's case mangers on different ways to grade their children in special
In the article “The Beauty of America”: Nationalism, Education, and the War on Terror by THEA RENDA ABU EL-HAJ, she basically was speaking about the way that the Palestinian kids in the schools systems were treated inversely after 9/11 . She enlightened us on how she started a group for the Palestinian kids to tell how they were treated and felt about the way that the teachers treated them post 9/11. In these groups she indicated that she wouldn’t always have the kids orally express themselves they would show things like videos, pictures, and etc. In the whole article it is just elucidating that these kids were looked at as outsiders because of who did the attack on 9/11 and what happened on 9/11/01. Although that is a very senseless thought
In the documentary, “A Class Divided” filmed in 1970, a third grade teacher in Iowa named Jane Elliot did something that I felt was so amazing, during a time period that most might consider risky. She divided her class by the color of their eyes and came up with very clever ways to make them feel discriminated against. Watching the short film, about how she taught her class the lesson of discrimination, which was prompted by the death of Martin Luther King, is just fascinating! At first I was writing down everything I could to be able to reference my notes later, to write this paper. Suddenly I just stopped writing and really got into the lesson as though I was in the classroom with them.
According to the book, the Ewell family, the poorest people in town, are just a bunch of ill raised, uneducated children and their drunken irresponsible father. In the book, Scout states that their father has no job, does not show much effort, if any at all, of trying get one, and uses the little
The technical convention of close-up shots is used to show the importance of education through the facial expressions which show desperation, anger and joy of the families of children applying for charter schools. During the final scenes of the documentary, we learn that some children were accepted and some were not. This makes the reader sympathize with the children who were not accepted. The symbolic convention of body language is used to show the importance of education through Ruby’s actions in the isolated classroom. On the seventh page of the book, Ruby is focused on doing her work in an isolated classroom; Ruby seemed to ignore the fact that she was isolated and fully immersed herself in her textbooks.
She observed what happened. The next day, she told the class that people with brown eyes were actually better than people with blue eyes. What she discovered is very intriguing. His experience has allowed us to understand why people discriminate against others. After Martin Luther King Jr's death, Jane Elliott wanted to teach his class racism.
John Holt writes in his essay “School Is Bad for Children,” explains “We need to get kids out of the school buildings, give them a chance to learn about the world at first hand.” (Holt, pg.67.) I agree, freedom for students to learn is what educators need to start doing. Instead of sitting there and listening to the gibberish that the teacher is trying to explain, students can learn by doing and being more hands on. Holt adds, “Students, perhaps in groups, perhaps independently, will go to libraries, museums, exhibits, court rooms, legislatures, radio and TV stations, meetings, businesses, and laboratories to learn about their world and society at first hand.” (Holt, pg. 67) If education was taught this way, then when students do venture out into the real world to find work or continue on higher education they are more prepared to face them head
After reading the article I understand that content integration in the curriculum is only the first dimension of multicultural education. Students come to school with prejudices toward different groups and that is why all teachers, whether you teach math or social studies, should be sensitive to that matter and work towards reduce prejudice in their classrooms and school and create a more positive racial attitude among the students. It is in the hands of educators to encourage students to become more critical readers and thinkers, and help them understand the values that underline knowledge. Students need construct their own knowledge and think for themselves. Teachers need to help students understand the implicit cultural assumptions and perspectives of the discipline they’re teaching.
B. F. Skinner defined this method of learning as a “Operant conditioning”: the type of learning in which voluntary reply is strengthened if it is positively reinforced and weakened if it is punished. For example, teachers can alter student behavior by systematically rewarding students who follow classroom rules with praise, stars, or tokens exchangeable for various items. Another example is parent respond to crying child who wants candy in grocery store. Operant Conditioning learning is a way of learning by interpreting the consequences of our actions. In a school situation a teacher can change students’ behavior by adjusting the learning style to the learners level.
