I can honestly say that the teacher in the classroom did a great job with her students and I will be walking away with a bunch of awesome strategies and resources to take back to my own classroom to help with teaching reading and language arts. During this journey and through all of my observations, the teacher and myself had the same goal in mind and that was to make sure that we were educating the students to the
As a teacher you groom and mold your students always teaching them new criteria they need to know for their future. That is why as an educator I want to continue my own enlightenment by obtaining a Master’s degree. By becoming a principal it enables me to become a lifelong learner by observing great teachers, support disenfranchised students by being the constant figure at the school as kids move from class to class or from district to district but most of all I would get the opportunity to watch the students grow over their entire school grade career, not only physically but mentally and
My life has been full of experiences in which transitional learning took place. The most profound is the lesson I am currently learning. My experience that is in my life is that I made a choice to go back to school to get a better education about working with children, so I can become a teacher. The reason why I am doing this is because I want
Her mom always knew her way around a good deal and therefore she hustled to put them in private school. She also traded cleaning services for a neighborhood doctor to make sure her kids had good healthcare. Ursula adds that her mother was her biggest influence for joining Xerox. Her mother Olga was pragmatic, focused and extremely practical, but was the ultimate self determining person. In 1980, Burns first worked for Xerox as a summer intern.
In the book, Alone in the Mainstream: A Deaf Woman Remembers Public School, the author and narrator, Gina Oliva, takes us through the story of her life and the Solitary Mainstream Project. We also experience an in depth look on what growing up was like for children who were either deaf or hard of hearing and had to attend public schools with able hearing peers. Through this wonderful novel about deaf culture, Oliva not only tells us about her own experiences and beliefs about the “solitary mainstream experience” (or the “alone in the mainstream experience”), but also takes the first hand accounts of actual people who lived through the same struggles and challenges that she too went through. Not only does she mention her results about what she found in her interviews, but she consistently uses direct quotes from the interviewees throughout her story. She also lines the book with interesting topics such as disclosure, how teachers treated them, and social life as a kid, as well as an adult.
The Corla Hawkins story tells about impoverished students. Corla Hawkin in the Kozol story is a nice, warm, hard-working and friendly teacher. She is a 40 year old woman who spends her life helping and teaching students. Without any conveniences that can help her in teaching students, she has to spend her own salary to buy books, tools and anything that can help her students study, but she feels happy about that. She does not teach her students like other teachers, but she has her own way to help her students gain more knowledge and some skills in their life.
Both having their similarities and differences, they play huge roles in the books “The Hunger games” and “To Kill a Mockingbird”. One could easily see that Scout is the mature girl she is because of her wise father, Atticus Finch. Atticus taught her to be open minded, and to treat every human at the same level. Katniss’ father also played a huge role in the maturity level of Katniss. Since her passed away in a mine explosion, she was forced to look over the family.
Towards the end of the novel the idea that the sense of belong is dynamic and changing is displayed on page 183 where Josie discovers how much she really belongs. In doing so short syntaxes are used for instance ‘The girls look up to you. They copy what you do.’ This causes the point to get across sharp and quick, which being that Josie has a significate influence on her peers. Another technique used is future tense which is seen when Sister Louise
Geddes’ essay was effective overall and managed to get the point across. There is a transition throughout the essay, from the start of her childhood to growing up into adulthood. The reader is able to understand the respect that she has for her family and community in the beginning and then the harsh reality of the intolerance for diversity as she goes to school. In the end she does realize that she is good enough to go to post secondary despite what people may have said earlier. Believing in yourself and remembering where you come from builds character and you should not let anyone tell you otherwise.
