Tkiyah Clark Solomon Ortiz once said education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact of their students. High school teachers help prepare students for life after graduation (OutlookHandbook,3). They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market. Alternate job positions for people with a teaching degree include starting your own tutoring business, facilitating teacher training courses for a college or university, creating curricular materials for an education company or teaching home-bound kids (Watson,1). There are many prerequisites to becoming a teacher.
My Academic Philosophy I feel that education is in place to help students to fully achieve their goals in life. Students of today are our tomorrow. High school is here to help us set our GPA so that we can apply to a great college. When I entered ninth grade, I thought I knew what I was capable of, but I was wrong. As time went on I realized that I needed so much more.
I would like to show my family that education is very important, because it doesn't only affect you but everyone that is surrounded by you. I would like to set an example for my little sister, and younger cousins, that anything is possible, and that your education sets a path for your future that if you have a bright future you can have a beautiful life. I would also like God to be proud of me as well. Bishop Noll Institute offers a challenging academic environment, I clearly see it in the upperclassmen’s attitudes and the standards that they set for me as a freshman this year. The more I know the better opportunities will come my way in the future.
College students have short-term and long-term goals that they desire to achieve. Achieving a goal at any level would be a great accomplishment of mine. My objective is to work hard at improving my writing skills, having better study skills, and becoming an enhanced student overall. Once I graduate from GCU; I will have a higher level of communication skills, and confidence to become professional and skilled in all that I achieve. A college degree in Elementary Education is essential to me because I want to teach others the value of fun, learning, and the capability to be involved in exciting adventures throughout life.
Ashford University changed its software in 2009 to eCollege software. (Bowles, 2010) Because of the growing popularity of online schools I imagine that there are some close competitive companies that are trying to design their software to be the best. This will not only benefit the school and the instructors, but will benefit me as a student. I will be able to receive the best quality education. The most major of changes in the digital classroom would have to be the availability of
As educators all over the country we are faced with having to embrace and implement technology into our schools and for teachers their lessons. We have students who are very skilled with technology and in order to keep they engage and involved in the lessons we have to incorporate technology into our lessons and move away from the lecture style of teaching and create more interactive lessons that will keep students motivated in the classrooms. Special needs students require more funding and services to provide them with the tools and materials that they need to be successful in school. The special education has really changed over the years because we now have districts moving from the out of district placements and now have more of the special education students in inclusion classrooms and of course we still have the resource rooms and the self contained classrooms. Many districts because of costs are not seeking out of district placements but instead are creating programs within the various school districts that mirror the out of district programs.
Supervision for Instructional Improvement Ebony A. Wilson Grand Canyon University Supervision and Instructional Leadership EDA 551 April 20, 2011 Supervision for Instructional Improvement Professional development is an essential tool in a movement towards greater success for all students and meeting the needs for school change in a society that is desperately in need of one. As stated by DeSimone (2011), "Teacher professional development is one of the keys to improving the quality of U.S. schools.

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION ENGL-101 Liberty University September 9, 2013 The debate of rather a computer is an empowering tool to those who embark upon it still exist today. A computer in the hands of a hard-working student is an important and empowering tool that, if utilized to the fullest potential, can be capable of encouraging that student to become a success in his or her studies. In today’s society, technology has become an integral part of education. It allows students and teachers access to information, show students real world, help with research projects, and prepares for jobs. I believe that with the many technological advances that have been made throughout history computers have made life easier.
CWPA, NCTE, and NWP claim in “Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing,” that “Habits of mind refers to ways of approaching learning that are both intellectual and practical and that will support students’ success in a variety of fields and disciplines” (122). At the Recreation Center, responsibility and persistence are habits of the mind that most students apply. Persistence, which the authors describes, is the “ability to sustain interest in and attention to short and long-term projects,” that pushes these students to come back throughout their education, regardless of how high their workload has piled up (122). When approaching college, students find it much more difficult to schedule exercising while balancing out their college life. There are exams to study for, deadlines to meet, and expectations to live up to.
My personal plan for my academic future is to push myself to do better in school and achieve the goal that I set for myself of a 4.0 GPA. By doing this it will show future employers of my dedication to not only my studies but to my future dedication that I can bring to their company.

I am, also, open to expanding my knowledge in the business field because I think that I can be of use in any different areas of many different businesses. By completing my degree and achieving
