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
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

Learning Autobiography (LAB #1) Formal and Informal Educational Experiences Tiffany Wilder August 28, 2015 LAS 30012 Writing and Critical Thinking in the Liberal Arts Ottawa University Formal and Informal Educational Experiences My education, like that of most people, has been influenced by two areas: Formal education and informal education. Formal education can be defined as: What is learned in school with an accredited certificate of degree given at the end (Asskalli, 2013). Informal education means: What one has learned from experience or by studying on one’s own initiative (Asskalli, 2013). Below, I share how these two educational experiences have influenced who I am today. Formal Education I have gone to many schools in my life of formal education.
I want to experiment with what builds a sense of community, support, care, and motivation in my classroom and I assume this will take place in many forms. Torey sought out and found ways to communicate and build relationships with her students, some of the time these ways were non-verbal and rather based on feeling; I hope to create the same sort of atmosphere in my classroom, to have those important one on one moments with my students. This passage in the book also reminded me of a recent conversation I had with my supervising teacher about the hiring process. She told me that some of the best teachers have the worst interviews, but when she’s looking for a potential teacher she relies mostly on intuition; if she believes an individual truly loves children, she is much more likely to hire them regardless of their interview. (Of course the individual would have to demonstrate some basic competencies) The passage also made me think of the beauty of the teaching profession and how it really is difficult to explain to a non-teacher; there are so many small and large events that happen on a daily basis in the academic world that creates a world of amazement and appreciation for the growing
Williams is truly a gift that only comes sparingly to one. Often we are stuck with teachers who think they know things but are actually filled with false knowledge. But, Mrs. Williams was genuine and honest. One could say that she had a very knowledgeable vibe about her. I believe Mrs. Williams left an impact on every child who was blessed enough to have her.
English 1301 May 3, 2014 Common Core; for the Greater Good or a Bad Decision The Common Core State Standards Initiative, a program conceived in 2009 sponsored by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSO), is quite the topic of discussion in our country. It aims to standardize English Language Arts and mathematics for school age children to better prepare high school graduates to pursue further education at a credit bearing two or four year college, or to help them when they enter the workforce. While this program aims to better our nations education system, arguments can be made for either side of the issue. I intend to discuss both arguments and answer the question; Is Common Core good for our children and the future leaders of this country? Forty four states initially adopted Common Core standards into their education systems.
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
