It was not and easy task because Spanish is my first language. The first grades in this bilingual school were crucial for the other grades. The teachers were very good and spoke excellent English. From there one I started reading children’s books. The earliest experiences I had with reading began a collection of books from Scholastics, I think I enjoyed them because I saw most of the characters and the picture were so vivid that I thought I was there.
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
According to the authors, millennial students were influenced by a unique set of culture, such as hard work, supportive parents who desire the best for their future. Even with these positive qualities, millennial students also give difficulties to their teachers, counselors and the administrators at high school and college levels. An additional influence on the millennial students is parental involvement. Parents of this generation pay very close attention to their children’s academic progress and extracurricular activities.

It was said that one ‘solution’ to the ‘problem’ of inequity was to ‘educate the parents’ (Thomson, P 2002, p. 3) and encourage them to ‘supervise’ their children whilst doing homework. This suggests that with the parent’s encouragement and reinforcement towards the child, they are more likely to want to succeed and feel they have the right to succeed, instead of there being a boundary between the advantaged and disadvantaged children. The parents of both Vicki and Thanh want the best for their children, to graduate and achieve a ‘university’ (Thomson, P 2002, p.2) degree. However Vicki is more likely to succeed because of her parent’s educational background and will be able to provide the support that she needs going through school, whereas Thanh will have to find other sources for educational help because his parents do not have the knowledge that he
As well as the professors, the parents are a huge success in the children’s success in an institution. According to Rachel Williams, writer of “Middle-class Children Do Better at School Because Of Parents,” claims middle-class pupils do better because parents and schools put more effort into their education; thus children from poorer backgrounds were not predisposed to work less hard, but parents’ attitudes were most important, making more of a difference than schools
This commitment models the expectations for the staff and proves that I, as a principal, must strive to create a school culture that has a positive influence on life and learning in my school. The entire thought of developing successful learning communities in my school is a great challenge. I realize that I have much to learn and everything will not happen as quickly as needed. Change is never an easy process, but as I strive to build on the positive and eradiate the negative my focus will be to have a highly effective school with highly effective teachers. I found great value in
I enjoy that I was able to learn how to comprehend the words that I was brought upon and use them to my advantage.As I got better understanding English I seem to be amired by books that keep me amazed by the knowledge that I learn from what I have read. I remember when I was in Elementary school going to the Library and sitting in the look book pit reading one of my favorate childhood author Judy B. Blume.Reading is just one of my hobbies, however in my spare time I write songs and sing them to have a piece of relax. Writing sokngs became a habit that I started when I be unease; However I still be amazed how reading keeps me learning
The myth of education pertains to the essential human need for empowerment. We believe that going to school to be educated and getting outstanding grades is the key to success and prosperity in life; that those who excel in the classroom are the ones who gain authority and power. Knowledge is power- we have all heard it at least once before. For this reason, we as people are inclined to believe that formal schooling ultimately leads to power, control, security and respect. However, Malcolm X’s excerpt “Learning to Read” taken from his autobiography, demystifies such a myth.
Visiting a Early childcare and education center showed me there's a lot more than just babysitting or watching kids. when you enter into the Early child care and Education field you are educating, supporting, being responsible for children and loving them like they are your own. Learning about the importance of knowing as much about every childs family and community around them is a great way to become and have a great daycare. Because young childrenís lives are so embedded in their families and communities, and because research indicates that successful early childhood education depends upon partnerships with families and communities, early childhood professionals need to thoroughly understand and apply their knowledge in this area.

Common Core: Should We Pass It or Trash It? If you are a parent, then you know what I mean when I say that our children are our pride and joy. We put so much love and effort into their primary development, and try hard to teach and guide them in the ways we think best. So when it comes time to send our precious little-ones to their first day of school, wouldn’t we want those same goals in their academic education? If you are like most parents, there would be no other answer in your mind than “Yes”.
