“Kids at Hope” has become a part of the Herndon High School’s framework for all students and the entire staff. Kids at Hope is “a strategic, cultural framework designed to engage entire communities to support success for all children, no exceptions”. It is a cultural framework with strategies based on three leading principles and practices: We Believe, We Connect and We Time Travel. The “We Connect” component of Kids at Hope supports the notion that as long as children have meaningful and sustainable relationship with caring adults they will be successful. Those caring adults are called the ACES.
This speech teaches us about the real world after high school or college; it not easy for everybody, we have to go the school, work and we have to think about our daily lives- how are going to survive. This speech helps in our education by allowing us to beware of what we’re thinking, what we’re thinking and how we can implement our thoughts into
He directly speaks about past teachers and experiences with education he's had, and his hopes for future teachers. Since this speech went viral and got positive feedback from many, it is effective in reaching the intended audience, and has potential to create a true change in how teachers treat their students and the education system. Livingston presents a call to action for teachers and future teachers to help their students reach their full potential, help them with their obstacles, and foster equality in the classroom.
After being the “top dogs” of their elementary schools the sixth grade class quickly became the youngest in the school. They easily adjusted to life as a middle schooler by working hard and managing to have fun while doing so. This year’s sixth grade class was described by their teachers as energetic, carefree, compassionate. Mrs. Shryock said that, “They’re very involved and excited about MTMS activities!” They had so many exciting activities and projects to make good memories from this year.
My journey began when The Deron School hired me as a paraprofessional. I learned so much about myself in a classroom setting of diverse learners. First, my strong qualities, such as patience, flexibility to change, and positivity, were simply demonstrated for this position. I have witnessed staff members resign due to stress from unpredictable circumstances. However, I can simply understand the rough days which strengthens my performance to find a solution.
It would be a priority to add on to teaching methods with lots of positive and motivational speeches towards the students; focusing on what the kids want to be or do in life. There are some school and few teachers out there that focuses on this policy, but not all schools make it their priority. We could then continue as parents. Parents play a big part as well in children 's lives. We need to get more parents to think like a middle class parents, having direct involvement in their child’s success.
In working with urban areas, I give back to my local community as a leader of LEAP, an after-school program at Jefferson Elementary in Lennox. In this position, I work in conjunction with another leader to develop and implement exciting and creative curriculum for a classroom of students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade, taking into consideration their diverse ages to ensure participation from all students. When lesson planning with my co-leader, we incorporate her passion for art and my interest in literature into our activities. For example, we instructed the students to work collaboratively to create a storybook where each student is responsible for a page, granting them their own creative freedom. One of the groups, led by Edgar,
EYE13WB-1.1 Explain the role of the early years practitioner during: • nappy changing • toilet training • washing and bath time • skin, teeth and hair • meal time It is very important to establish a routine as an early year practitioner. Routines will support the physical care needs of children. It should provide a predictable and well-ordered environment, children know what to expect. They are comforting and provide regularity, especially for babies as they enable them to adjust to their own body rhythms.
I believe that all children are individuals, unique in their abilities, from a wide diversity of backgrounds and cultures, and they also have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Educators are observers and designers who have to observe children’s abilities, interests and learning styles for designing a curriculum that fulfill everyone’s needs. Observers also play an important role on noticing individual differences and offering help to children who have lower ability to improve
These lessons are not only vital in childhood but are needed throughout life. ‘‘Inclusion, multicultural, and non-sexist children’s literature also gives students in the "majority" an understanding of their "minority" peers struggles, triumphs, and contribution to our culture and society’’(Pirofski). Being exposed to people from different parts of the world or have special needs is very important in child development, hand in hand with them grasping new concepts. Children's literature gives students an understanding of what struggles and issues that goes in their society. This helps children know the full spectrum growing up and now growing up to be ignorant or misinformed of situations around them that are not hardcore taught in society.
This job really taught me about the importance of children having a routine to follow as well as the impact teachers can have on a child’s life. After my first year in college, I realized that I wanted to gain more experience with children of all ages. Shortly after,
A teacher is no longer the source of learning, rather a facilitator of learning. 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
With the rising difficulties in common core standards many teachers are forced to place increasing effort on mathematics and english. This means that programs such as science and art are cut out of many lesson plans. I realized how influential science programs are for elementary students and so, with my club STEM Leaders of Tomorrow, created STEM Day at J.H. Gunn Elementary School. Students who wouldn’t normally get an opportunity to hear presentations were given exclusive one-on-one time to engage in activities that will shape them for the rest of their lives. My team and I changed students lives and thus, the future.
The key goals of social studies begins with fostering better attitudes and identify values, which speaks to the child’s beliefs and actions. If a child is told that he/she should be seen and not heard they show this belief in their action .Through social studies, children develop their understanding of the world by learning about
Some of these concerns have been explored and articulated by such as Shirley Grundy, who sees it as overly dependent on “cultivation of wisdom and meaning-making in the classroom” and as a result the actual capability of students to “make sense” of subject matter and the world around them, can be
