1. Please provide an example of how you nurture the competencies of children:
As educators, we strive to build our students to be responsible, and active lifelong learners. In order accomplish this, we must build meaningful relationships with our students, be excellent role models and allow our students to become critical thinkers.
A good teacher is someone with whom you can trust, respect and build a relationship. Many students can’t learn if there is no solid relationship built with each student personally and with the class as a whole. That is why it is important to build meaningful relationships with our students because no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship.
My beliefs can have a huge influence on my students and through learned behaviour individuals can acquire these behaviours on how to act toward certain people, social situations and environments. Thus, as role models, we must demonstrate to our students how to act in a well behaved manner because they look up to us and they unconsciously mimic us. As an educator, not

During my time there, I have noticed how the vast majority of individuals have problems with math and literacy. Students are unable to perform simple math questions and construct grammatically correct sentences. Many of the students get frustrated and do not enjoy math or literacy tasks. I constantly collaborate with staff and the educational director, in order to identify improvements, change curriculum books and challenge our students to grow. As a result, I can huge improvements not only in their academic performance but their perception of school and show them that learning is fun! This experience has truly brought a smile on my face because I know that my success is through my students’ success. Hence, collaboration and constant communication is
This position provided me with the opportunity to affect positive change for two student populations with distinct needs: Long Term English Learners and English Learners who received special education services. During my tenure, I led teachers of ELs in analyzing CST and Periodic Assessment data in English Language arts and Mathematics, identifying the appropriate ELD and Access-to-Core/SDAIE strategies to meet students needs, through lesson/strategy study cycles. Through lesson study and coaching conversations with teachers, Monroe’s EL subgroup achieved a 38-point increase on the CST ELA during the 2012-2013 school year, surpassing its AYP targets for math and English Language Arts for this subgroup. While an impressive achievement, the students’ success reflected the underlying mandate to provide rigorous content to all ELs with fidelity to SDAIE and Access to Core strategies by teachers and the professional understanding that we are a team of teachers working together each day to impact student
Answer TWO of the following questions each in 250-350 words. Please be specific and thorough. *Either question 4 or 5 must be answered, along with another of your choosing. 2. What do you like and dislike about collaborating with other when trying to improve issues within your school?
Every day we develop better lesson plans, assessments and behavior plans and stronger instructional practices, we are helping to build a better world. Every day we take extra time to unlock the key to success for a student with our continuous improvement plans, our safe rides on our school busses, fixing an air conditioner, coach teachers and leaders and hiring the best and brightest, we are building a better world. We will celebrate our ten schools receiving an A or B letter grade. We had seven schools receive a C and three schools in the D range. We can discuss how some of our schools struggled to find highly effective teachers in certain areas or how some of our schools did not show the needed grow because they didn’t have a strong enough focus on standards based instruction.
Build positive relationships with students will help establish a more comfortable classroom environment. Michie have put a great amount of effort at trying to get to know his students on a more personal level, such as through individual home visiting and personal questionnaires about each student’s likes and dislikes about school. In order for students to feel that the information is relevant to them, teachers should make connections and relate to real life examples. Michie uses his past classroom experiences to connect to his students and further sparks class discussion. Michie would try to relate to what the students were going through in their lives to get to know them better.
I learned how to adapt to the individual needs of students to provide them the best education. Like students with a communication disorder, many of my students would shy away from activities or tasks because of obstacles. Through these experiences, I watched my students gain the confidence to participate in activities and excel in academics to become successful individuals. As a future Speech Language Pathologist, many qualities that I possess can be improved by furthering my education.
Unit Plan One: Law of Exponents Fauato Aokuso EDCI 556: Transformative Mathematics in the Differentiated Classroom University of Concordia, Portland I want to transform a Unit Plan for Exponents Rules, because exponent is one of the math components that some of the students have trouble solving. Some students have problem with it when they think about repeated addition and repeated multiplication. If I teach the basic rules of exponents, students will understand the difference between the multiplication and exponents. The other problem students mostly have trouble with in exponents is variables. Students need to understand the basics of solving exponential equation with variables.
As a new school year begins, teachers generally create a routine and a set of rules for their class to follow. However some students may simply have trouble obeying these rules and conforming to normal social behaviors. In these instances, it often falls to the paraeducator to correct the student and help them develop their social skills. “Paraeducators must constantly model appropriate social skills.” (Carroll 62)
In the five years as principal, her school met exceptional growth in the areas of reading and math. When asked how the school had progressed with her as principal, she said, “I created professional learning communities to focus on student learning and differentiated instruction.” After much success as a principal at Sunland Park, she was offered a principal position at Anthony Elementary. Anthony Elementary had not met AYP standards for three consecutive years. When Ms.Perez got to Anthony Elementary, the teachers had many excuses as to why Anthony Elementary was not meeting the AYP standards.
Teachers need to build relationships with the children so that children understand boundaries with their class teacher. Piaget (1936, cited Mcleod 2015) also suggests that there are two types of child to adult relationships. The first type of relationships applies to a teacher and a child’s relationship. He believes that constraint is a type of relationship in which the child is expected to respect the adult. The adult (being the teacher) then uses authority to socialise with the child and to instruct the child on what to do.
All students have the possibility to learn and with the proper experience, they will focus. There are many different ways used to build respect and a positive rapport with students. One that has always work is helping the students feel comfortable with the environment. When the environment is positive and comfortable to the students, the student tends to worry less and be natural. Building a positive rapport is not easy and it takes time and dedication.
Teachers have the power to determine whether their classroom will be a caring atmosphere or an authoritarian environment for the students. Teachers need to curb their ego and model empathy, positive attitude, and leadership skills. She believes that if teachers use positive attitudes when dealing with difficult students, the students will respect the teacher more; therefore, the students will have better behaviors. Showing empathy toward the students will result in the student feeling like someone understands them. Creating relationships with students helps them feel safe in their environment and comfortable talking to the teacher.
Not only children learn from teachers, teachers also need to learn from children. A successful teacher is willing to learn. Teachers know that they are encouraged to learn for lifetime and not just for a short time as teacher is a life-long learner. Teacher not only gives knowledge to children and also gains knowledge when they
At the beginning of this course I honestly thought that my personal values and ethics all came from the same source, which was the religion I grew up following. With this course I was able to see and reflect that it is a habit that was formed and that it has become a routine that I have put myself through. I have been living a life where I was told and expect to believe what my values were I never had the change to explore it myself. The feeling that if I was able to explore myself and my values and be more open to things other then just the values that my church taught me I would have been a very successful woman now. I truly believe that it would affect different aspects of my adult life.
I believe that a teacher’s role is to prepare an environment where children can fully realize their potential
I participated in several school meetings. After working with students in small groups, I evaluated my mini lesson for student improvement. My students were able to work independently, collaboratively, and utilize feedback from other peers. This taught me to reflect on advantages and disadvantaged of the lessons
