It was eyes opening to see that these students are motivated to learn. Scholarly, I can relate these students to the book A Hope In the Unseen because these students are similar to Cedric. They live in a poverty area where the education system is low and the dropout rate is high. However, they are motivated to learn. This shows that there are still and we can change that by helping other people. I made a difference because I helped these students understand the materials they’re supposed to learn in class. This was eye opening because seeing how happy the kids understand something made me feel like a teacher. Personally, I learned kids love when adults care about them. They like it when I teach them math. Professionally, I learned that it
It is a dark, melancholy time; Grant feels he has little or no impact on his students. On the contrary, Grant has no empathy for his students, or sympathy for their hardships. From this moment, one can learn that he is frustrated with his life and with his role as a teacher. The man modeled seeks to control, not motivate. He is as cruel as the cold, unforgiving season of winter.
They have changed mine and several of my students lives.
I truly felt like my teachers cared and valued my opinion when I interacted with the class and this became just one of the factors that made me follow the decision to become more
In the tale, “The Adventure of the German Student” by Washington Irving, the readers stumble upon the narrative of Gottfried Wolfgang. Wolfgang is a German student who travels to Paris to continue his studies. During this life-changing trip, the readers are able to witness the transformation that occurs in Wolfgang. In Paris, Wolfgang indulges in the fascinating world of the occult studies. He becomes passionate and unable to control himself.
They didn’t need to tell me they did, I could see it in their writing. This really managed to snap me out of my failure-created haze. I might not be be in the top class, but at least I could help others. It really look back on how I felt about writing. In my mind, writing was a horrible thing that put students through heartache and despair.
Many of them still email me to talk about the things that they are doing to create change. I believe that as this semester is coming to a close, that many of my students are much more open-minded and accepting of differences. I also believe that they see less difference, and more commonalities between individuals. Because of this, I believe that I have had a positive impact on society. 9.
When I entered the 1st grade classroom the students were getting ready to gather on the rug to read Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina's. Immediately I knew this lesson was going to be top-down lesson. The teacher used a variety of ways to get the students to use their background knowledge to learn a word. I felt as though the class was on task and comprehending everything that was being taught.
It’s shaped my worldview because I recognize now that if someone is struggling, there may be more going on than I’m aware of that is hindering his or her abilities. It’s made me more compassionate towards those around me. I have been tutoring at my school for three years and find it to be very rewarding. I will continue to “pay it forward” by tutoring in college. I have learned from my own struggling that many things can affect learning and comprehension.
I decided to try out public school so that I could escape my daily torment. Now that I attend and love a different school, my paradigms were shattered. I realize now that my paradigms were hurting me, blinding me from the real world. Ultimately, I can see that
1.What are your reactions to the video? • I am shocked at how the people in this experiment, actually learned from it. I did not think that they were going to take anything from this experiment and apply it to their own lives. I did not enjoy listening to the things that the parents have taught their children in that time, but I am most grateful that there had been a teacher such as herself who wanted to teach the little ones the right way. 2.
Furthermore as the weeks went on many hands were being raised, questions were getting answered and asked. Their study, reading and test taking skills improved because they trusted me as a mentor to lead them to where they needed to go. I talked to them about college and how important education was. This showed to me that nothing is forever and we as people can change the world. This also encouraged me even more to further my education because this mentor ship was proof that it's more fixing to be done.
I really appreciated this chapter because it address the problems students of lower SES deal with. While I have never been a full-time teacher in a public shcool setting, where there is a diverse mix of students, I have been apart of several education programs and witnessed the differences between students of lower and higher SES. I used to work in Harlem, NY at an afterschool program for the city so all the public school students attended and it was in a very low SES neighborhood. Although they only spend the afternoons with me I could see the learned helplessness the chapter speaks about when they would attempt to do homework. The students were asking for help and saying they could not do it before they even took their books out.
We were beginning our development unit, and being able to see a topic we studied right in front of my own eyes was mesmerizing. It immediately piqued my interest even more than it already was, and I was able to connect some ideas we learned in class (like the stage of development) to a real life scenario. This gave me an incredible urge to learn more and research more. Sometimes it is hard to connect classwork with the real life, but it was a very exciting experience when I did. Seeing the young children play raised new questions on the topic, new ideas, a new passion for the
so when teaching I try to make things as positive as possible. I have taught a Social Studies lesson, a math Lesson, and an English Language Arts lesson. The social studies lesson was a hard lesson to teach because they do not teach Social Studies in Raytown, the kids were unfocused and I feel like the lesson would have been better if they had an Idea about what was going on but I tied the best I could to build some background knowledge.
What I learned from these kids shaped me into becoming the person I am today. On the first day of work I did not take it seriously. I thought it was a joke because of the easy going attitude of my co-workers and bosses. This attitude later came back to bite me. A few weeks into my summer, something happened that would affect me for the rest of my life.
