A1. Why do you want to teach science, math, bilingual, English, or ESL in New York City? (150 words)
I feel I will be able to exhibit the significance of Math in everyday life. The math that adults use to pay bills, manage a budget, tax preparation, as well as other things are significant. Using real-life situations would capture a student’s attention aligned with their interests. Depending on the grade level students start to question the relevancy within how a subject will affect their future. When students struggle in the subject math, I love the gratitude and appreciation that students show towards appreciating the help I give them. As a teacher, I believe I can provide guidance in various parts of life. I hope to inspire and become …show more content…

These are the components that must adopted to be academically successful students that have positive self-esteem, engages in academic activities, understands they are in control of their grades, and have the interest to learn. I believe an educator has to give positive reinforcement by complimenting students, so that the students can increase their confidence and show them it’s okay to fail but they must be motivated towards reaching their end goals.
Students of lower socio-economic status usually face various challenges including lack of learning resources, difficult learning conditions, and behavior issues that negatively affect their academic success. The effects of poverty can have an impact on a student’s mental well-being such as self-esteem, depression, and cognitive problems.
2.2 Do you believe you will be successful in ensuring high academic achievement for all students coming from low-income communities? Why or why not? Describe any experience (including experience working with low income populations) and/or skills that will help you overcome these challenges. (150-250

I learned how to differentiate my approach in helping the students at level they were at. I am interested in teaching in a middle school setting because I’ve come to see how important it is to get a student to be invested in their education while they are in middle school. Studies have shown that the education gap widens by the time an African American student reaches middle school. I want to be in a middle school setting to help bridge the education gap, one scholar at a

I believe taxes affects government economic policy today by increasing or decreasing the amount of money the government makes. The purpose of taxes is to raise revenue to fund the government. Money provided by taxation has been used by states and their functional equivalents throughout history to carry out many functions. Some of these include expenditures on economic infrastructure, military, scientific research, culture and the arts, public works, distribution, data collection and dissemination, public insurance, and the operation of government itself. The different reforms I would like to see are the lowering the taxes on basic goods and increasing it on luxury items.

Bryce Williams EDUC 250 Jan. 29th, 2017 When I become a teacher, I find it that it is very beneficial to meet the needs of all of your students, While in a classroom I believe that I must always be willing to adapt to any of my students while making sure that I am doing the best that I possibly can to educate them. We as educators owe it to our students to help them keep learning and growing in order to offer many ways that they can be success. It is a personal feeling of mine to always want to see my students be the best that can be, Urie Bronfenbrenner states "Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her." (theory, retrieved 2017) This quote of his is one of my favorite quotes due to how every teacher should

With technology at our fingertips, it is very easy to assess journals and articles about teachers of the year and how these teachers positively impacted the students. Looking at these articles, I wonder what qualities must a teacher possess in order to garner one of the most respected and honorable professional awards. All teachers want to help their students and make an impact in their lives. All teachers want their students to succeed. But what makes these individuals so different?

Before I began my first semester of teaching, I decided to set some goals to help me work toward becoming the teacher my students need and deserve. One of those goals is to ensure all of my students succeed academically. I believe that the purpose of education is to promote and ensure academic success for all learners; therefore, I want to give all of my students an equal opportunity to gain the knowledge, strategies, and the experiences they need to succeed in the forthcoming semester and through their lives. Coming into the classroom in the middle of the school year this has been a very difficult goal to accomplish. When I first started teaching Engage New York Math, at the beginning my Math lessons were directed toward all of

I worry that too much of what kids experience in school is skimming along the surface of knowledge and never really plunging in. Some teachers say, “make it simple,” but I think my job is keeping it complex. And to do that, I need to see that, in many instances, “less is more”; that is, covering a zillion items may not be as rewarding as pursuing something fully, deeply, truly, and well”(105). In most classrooms there will be students who will say they do not wish to be there and do not want to learn. I think that going the extra distance for students is very important.

I have never had problems in school. In fact, I would even say I enjoyed and loved school ever since I was a child. I cannot help, but say my cultural background has played a major role in shaping my educational path and expectations towards it. My personal background, my development, my education and the experiences as a student have shaped my attitude towards education and allowed me to choose to become a history teacher as a career. I have only been in the classroom for over three months.

Despite the fact that teachers do not reap well-paid financial benefits, they do however obtain other expressive rewards. For example, seeing an honored parent's tears of happiness and a student’s unexpected understanding of an idea and the unexplored depths of the mind discovered. The desire to become a teacher cannot be something that occurs overnight. This choice has to become a lifestyle that consumes ¾ of the average day. A culmination of situations helped advance the process chosen at hand.

One of the guiding factors of my interactions with students, both in and out of the classroom, is that the student is ultimately responsible for their own learning. As a teacher, I have a responsibility to help students gain an understanding of the material and applications of that material. This doesn’t mean, however, that I should simply provide answers to student questions. I require that students with questions take the responsibility to research those questions on their own (at least in the textbook and other class materials); if that research doesn’t lead them to a solution, we engage in a dialogue to guide them to an answer. If I can teach students how to discover answers on their own, I’ve given them capabilities they can use well past
