  • Review Of Cathy Davidson's Essay 'Classroom Makeover'

    1026 Words  | 5 Pages

    After describing universities like Duke, Stanford and other Ivie schools as elite private universities, Cathy Davidson in her essay “project Classroom Makeover” gives the implication that what is elite is what is considered excelling in surpassing the standards and having more power than others. This description, however, is only a snippet of how Davison views elite organizations and how those standards that qualify or nullify institutions are not as effective as they should be. Defining elite will yield two different definitions depending on the person who is defining it. Organizations, people, and even countries can be categorized as elites however, themselves may categorize others higher up as elites.

    Adaptability is one key feature that humans have throughout their lives that separates us from other animals. Many people have a hard time adapting to certain situations without any aids so the introduction of newer technologies gives more people the ability to adapt to different situations at hand.

    1271 Words  | 6 Pages

    In Cathy Davidson’s, “Project Classroom Makeover”, Davidson analyzes and elucidates upon faults she observes in the American education system. Davidson introduces her own experiment, the iPod experiment, in which she distributes free iPods to all first-year Duke University students and all other Duke University students who have the iPod incorporated in at least one of their classes. Through the iPod experiment, Davidson learns that the iPod was capable of more than listening to music. Therefore, through the experiment, the iPod allowed for new, innovative creations. Similarly, in Jonathan Lethem’s, “The Ecstasy of Influence: A Plagiarism”, Lethem argues that individuals who have successful ideas should allow up-and-coming artists to use their

  • What Is The Impactfulness Of Jane Elliott's 3rd Grade Class

    503 Words  | 3 Pages

    The impactfulness of Jane Elliott's exercise is very evident with her third grade class. The accomplishment of permanently teaching children not to judge based on appearance over a few days is must not be overlooked. Bringing even more astonishing is the effect the exercise had on the children’s test scores, all of which achieved a higher average than before. Implementing this exercise across the nation could do a lot of good in teaching the next generation to have a little more understanding, but I appreciate Mrs. Elliott’s caution. Understanding how the same exercise could cause a lot of damage in a third grader if not done properly, She advises that to start, a few teachers go through training to learn how to properly teach the lesson.

  • Cathy Davidson's 'Project Classroom Makeover'

    Traditions have been around for years, some being passed down from generation to generation while others are fairly new. Traditions explain why people act certain ways or why certain events happen. From academics, to cultures, to life, people follow their traditions because that is what they have always learned to do, reluctant to change the ways they have always lived. Many are scared of change, especially in traditions that have been around for so long, but changing traditional ways is inevitable because life is always changing. In “Project Classroom Makeover,” the author Cathy Davidson strongly supports changing the traditional education system because it is not keeping up with how modern students learn, with all these advances in technology

  • Joshua Halberstam's Essay 'Class In The Classroom'

    317 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the essay, “Class in the Classroom”, Joshua Halberstam presents various ways through which students can perform better at the college, in my perspective, the best rhetorical strategy in his writing is dealing with the boredom; it makes the guidance more effective as well as humor. For example, in case the student has to take the subject other than their program of study, they may feel bored, however, the student should be happy because they are contributing their time, and also they are gaining knowledge. The student has to be knowledgeable not only in one subject matter but also in another field, it’s the fact which Halberstam is trying to show positively among the readers. Also, he suggests doing some creative things in class when boredom

  • Literature Review On Teacher Leadership

    1434 Words  | 6 Pages

    Teachers are being placed in the center of how schools function and are being asked to aid in crucial decisions about the academic direction of the school (Warren, 2016). Research by York-Barr and Duke (2004), states “teacher leadership roles range from assisting with the management of schools to evaluating educational initiatives and facilitating professional learning communities” (p. 1). While teacher leadership is evolving, the perceptions that teachers have regarding themselves as leaders has not truly been uncovered. This literature review is an attempt to highlight the research surrounding teacher leadership. It begins with the foundations of teacher leadership which includes the history of teacher leadership, the evolving definition of teacher leadership, and finally a summary of current teacher leadership development programs.
