My Learning Goals

It is my belief that all my students, regardless of their abilities, race, sex or ethnic backgrounds can learn and achieve success at their respective levels, when provided with the right resources, guidance and support, especially for diverse groups such as ESE students and ELL students. I will hold high expectations for my students, creating a learning environment that fosters a genuine excitement for learning, creativity and creative thinking, respect for rules and others, tolerance for diversity, as well as be good, charitable citizens in school and in their communities.
One learning goal I have for my students is to understand the content being taught, link their prior knowledge and the new skills and knowledge they have learned in the …show more content…

Students act on what they see, not what they are told, therefore instead of only telling them what is expected, I would show them examples and behave appropriately, so they can emulate me. For example, one of the rules of the classroom that the students and I created was to remain silent when another person is speaking. If I, as their teacher, do not practice this rule, the students would not be inclined to follow it either, which would render this classroom management strategy ineffective. This is supported by the socialist learning theory, which supports the use of modeling as a strategy for teaching new behavior (Charlotteaux, 2010). Modeling would also come into practice with presenting new content, where I would use the “I do”, “We do”, “You do” strategy. I would present the content, do 1 to 2 different assignments to demonstrate the content in relation to real-world, do an assignment with the students to reinforce the learning and then ask them to do an assignment on their own, which will be graded to ascertain their understanding and learning. I would set up learning centers to accommodate students who need additional instruction, such as English Language Learners (ELL) and Exceptional Student Education (ESE) learners. The ESE student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) would be followed, ensuring the student has the appropriate assistive device to help them with their learning; for example, braille machines and audio books for visually impaired students, also electronic or paper-back dictionaries for ELL

Murrah federal building blew up near 9:02 a.m. A Ryder truck was the bomb that was parked in front of the building and the driver left the truck on feet. The truck exploded, being triggered remotely shortly after 09:00 a.m. A man by the name of Timothy McVeigh was stopped 90 minutes after the bombing by a state trooper for license plates missing on his Mercury Marquis.

Humans learn by examples more than what they learn by mandate. If our students or apprentices can observe best practices, they will have a guide to incorporate to their own by staying truth to themselves, but copying what they know to be helpful. For that reason, they will be able to self-evaluate their work, and analyze their weaknesses using their results by reflecting on their learning to adapt and try again. Additionally, as Ms. Stewart suggested and I used during my first years of teaching, when the teachers are new to the process of educating students, one method of organizing and helping themselves is to write a script of what they want to say. Consequently, with this method they will track their objectives and come back to re-teach or adapt their strategy after self-evaluating their actions and the

I would prompt language from my students and ask them to write the answer. Meaning my students would not only tell me an answer they would write it as well. In addition, games and activities done independently or with peers; continuously modeling throughout the day, and writing what students say during discussions with the class would be the types of behaviors displayed to promote literacy. Read alouds would be held on the magic carpet placed in the center of the

Some portion of the learners who come from diverse & vulnerable backgrounds lack basic Numeracy, literacy and other social skills. This does not end here, over the period of time if these factors are not addressed, learners will have low self-esteem and confidence. So it is very important that as the teachers of tomorrow we do not neglect this part of the teaching because underlying factors can hamper the learner progress to a large extent. Another piece of advice shared with my peers was on the subject of Assessment, I believe that Assessments ought to uncover how well learners have learnt the subject and impact on their overall progress. For this to happen, evaluations, learning objectives, and curriculum should be firmly adjusted with

Despite this, I never thought about the many difficulties many of them were overcoming at the time. I’ve wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember, and now that I am attending college to become one, I am realizing the different aspects of teaching that I have never thought of. Teaching ELLs is something that never crossed my mind when I thought of becoming a teacher, however, after learning about the growing amount of ELLs in the Unites States, I think it is necessary to allow them the same educational opportunities as every other student. There are many different ways for ELLs to be able to learn inside of the classroom, and after learning about many of the variety of ways to teach students and adjust lessons, I feel confident that as a teacher I can make my classroom welcoming for students that are from both different language and cultural backgrounds. My philosophy for teaching ELLs will enable them to feel comfortable in a welcoming classroom, and also allow them to learn to the best of their

My main academic goal is to achieve a degree in Meteorology and minor in Mathematics. The reason I choose to attend Florida State University was to excel in a top school for my major and become an independent person. Once I was accepted into Florida State, I was able to begin my track towards accomplishing this goal. The first step was moving away seventeen hours from my hometown, which was the push I needed to become independent. I may have struggled the first school year here at school, but my top priority is to exceed the expectation and push myself to gain a higher GPA.

As a teacher I should know my student and understand that all students possess diverse backgrounds, by knowing your students, I will be able to decide which teaching style and strategies are needed to maximize their learning. I strongly believe it is vital to encourage the integration of culture, ethnicity, and life experiences into personal and corporate learning. I believe it is important to develop and implement innovative strategies in teaching. I feel that student learning is enriched and confidence increased with the utilization of

A classroom should be filled with a wide variety of languages, experiences, and cultural diversity. An effective teacher understands the importance of culturally responsive teaching, and recognizes the significance of including students ' cultural references in all aspects of learning. Having an enriching classroom that engages all students does not mean making judgments about a student’s culture based on their skin color, gender, or socioeconomic status, rather it means knowing each student in a way that is individualized. According to the authors of The First Day of School: How to be an Effective Teacher Harry Wong, race, gender, religion, financial statue, and skin color is the least important factor determining a student’s achievement. Moreover, demographics and culture are not an excuse for students’ lack of achievement.

The diversity of student backgrounds, abilities and learning styles makes each person unique in the way he or she reacts to information. The intersection of diverse student backgrounds and active learning needs a comfortable, positive environment in which to take root. Dr. King continues by explaining, “Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” From back then to today’s society, kids are failing because they lack those morals that they need to succeed.
