"Kellin, you have to understand that these tutoring sessions are important. I understand that you don 't want to spend your time here with me getting tutored, but you have to. Unless you don 't want to graduate, which I 'm sure you want to do. You 're not the only one that has something to lose with these classes, so could you please take them seriously?" Vic asked, scolding me the next day.
When I was a little girl I remember watching the news and always seeing big scary men being criminals. I thought that all women were mothers and had a family to take care of. I stuck with this theory because I connected everyone to my family. A working father, a stay at home mother, and a crazy younger brother. The stereotypical suburban family.
During my freshman year at Lakeridge High School I have learned so much information in so little time, I cannot believe how much I have grown as a person and as a student. In my Freshman English class, I have grown and expanded my knowledge of what I had barely known before. Coming from the Portland Public School District, I had not learned as much as the other kids coming in from Lakeridge Junior High. This was a major challenge for me in every class, especially English. First semester was extremely rough for me because I had to catch up on what everyone had already known for years; however, over time I have learned to develop my thoughts and look at different aspects of and see a situation through different perspectives.
My goal with standard six involved observing how my clinical teacher handled liabilities and how he interacted with co-workers and myself. I felt that it was important to look for these qualities, because they are important in the professional environment. How you handle legal responsibilities is not only important for the school, but also for the students. IEPs need to be addressed so that a quality education can be provided. Also, how a teacher interacts with coworkers can play into their hierarchal place amongst colleagues.
My educational goals are to achieve my Associates of Arts degree. During this process I hope to find my drive and passion and continue my education in order to reach this goal of a career that I love. Without achieving my Associates of Arts degree and providing me time to figure out what career field interest me the most I would be jumping into an unknown field in hopes that I like
Looking back I stared at my blank paper struggling to grasp the concept of a lesson. I knew well enough I needed to speak up sooner or later in school. Once I entered a whole new school I had to change. It was an easy ride the whole way until now. Breezing through class has always been in my mindset.
The class of 2016 I 'm actually surprised I made it this far but I made it this far because of my friends and family especially the teachers. it could not have been easy putting up with me all these years, picking me up when I falter, trying to get me on track when I 'm staring into space (which is pretty much all the time.) I have had some good times and bad times at Ella Lewis, mostly bad (Just Kidding.) Some of the good memories are like when I tried to dunk a basketball in the basketball hoop and ended up landing on my back.
The art teacher puts on some music. Ellie sits in a chair to have her face painted. Allison prepares the paint colors. She has every color ready to turn Ellie’s face into a panda. Ellie is faced towards Maria so she can get a closer look at her.
“Different, Not Less” “I have to tell Monet about it!” Matt shouted across the parking lot. While twisting his fingers, he memorized the license plate number and model of the PT Cruiser as it drove away. My family and I travel around the country and Matt continues to recognize someone he met in the past: a waitress, a teacher, or a friend.
As the journey begins as far as my memory can take me around mid-1997. I’m not sure if this is common, but the way learning came knowing how to read before writing. The situation can be very complicated or simple. I believe if you know how to read, then you’ll be a good writer. The author may not know what they’ve written due to not knowing how to read.
I was hiding under an obnoxious yellow slide for at least fifteen minutes, as a four-year-old fifteen minutes stretch out longer than they should be. Every minute was a small eternity and to me, I didn't think they were coming back. I was alone. I peeked my head out from the slide and crooned to listen for sounds of laughter. Hoping to hear someone screaming "I found you!"
For my educator one-on-one assignment, I choose to interview Sara Dotty, who is my host teacher at Marcy Open School. When I was given this assignment, I started to think of who I could interview and I was thinking of my high school teachers. But then I started to think how I could connect more with the 3 grade students that I’m working with, and how I could get to know them better. So, I decided to interview Sara because I thought that if I get to know my host teacher better I will be able to connect with the students more.
I remember before in my more nonconformist days, I used to worry about such stuff, conventional success. If honest (albeit reluctantly), I still do contemplate conventional success, yet there is a profound difference, I can think on it without the sinister undertones. Previously, my reflection upon success, predominately my own success made me feel awkward, embarrassed and inferior. Though, only in front of myself because there was no-one else around. How absurd.
The key to being successful in life, I think, is figuring out who you are as a person. Just as you should know your own strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, you should also know which learning style suits you best. Identifying your preferred learning style sets you up for success by enabling you to work, learn and live to your full potential. While we all have an instinctive preference, or dominant learning type, no one is completely kinesthetic or completely auditory; everyone uses a combination. Knowing how you learn is important as it can enhance your ability to study and retain information more efficiently, and also leave room for improvement in areas that are not your strong suit.
As a requirement for this class, Administration and Supervision of School Reading Programs, I interviewed Mrs. Jessica Gettings, who is our current Reading Program Supervisor. Although our district does not identify Gettings as our district’s Reading Specialist, she is identified as our Lead Basic Skills Teaching in our Supplemental Instruction Program (SIP) which is funded by Title I, Part A funding. While she does not define her role as ‘supervisor,’ as she is not responsible for direct supervision of teachers; however, she does work towards mentoring teachers and provides example lessons and coaching. Mrs. Gettings holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, Theater Arts, and a k-12 certification in Reading from Rowan University.
