    MTE 562: Completing An RTI Model

    Fourth grade student Jasmine Keller was informally assessed in 2009 and found to be reading at a level between first and second grade. Her vocabulary is stronger and at grade level with 85% accuracy. Evidence also from 2009 indicates Jasmine is able to produce ideas and sequence meaningful supporting details. Additionally, her math computation is weak and a pre-assessment found her scoring 32 facts correct out of 102. Her progress is inconsistent and unreliable, and many of her teachers have voiced concern regarding Jasmine’s weak short term memory obstructing her learning.

    At 2-Year Colleges Students Eager But Unprepared Summary

    She explains that while high school students are indeed getting satisfactory grades, they are dismayed when they progress to college and are informed that they will be required to take developmental courses. Consequently, some students are not prepared simply because they are not willing to put in the effort that is truly required. She believes that although some students are able to make good grades in high school, this is only accomplished by taking notes and not by reading the books required for their classes.…

    J. B. Hunt Elementary Classroom Observation

    I observed Mrs. Collier’s first grade class at J.B. Hunt elementary on Thursday September 13, 2015. The classroom had a great climate and was decorated nicely. She had bright posters hanging on the wall as well as many colorful boxes, curtains, and chairs around the room. The desks were set up in one giant “U” with Mrs. Collier sitting in the middle. It was a great set up for the kids because they could easily see her and she could easily see them. The dynamics in the classroom seemed great because she connected well with each student and was interested in what they had to say. The students behavior seemed very respectful towards her and they listened when she asked them to do something. Mrs. Collier’s equity between her and her students was…

    Wide Awakeness And The Moral Life Analysis

    She presents the idea of teachers and students working together to imagine and create opportunities. In her article, Greene reflects on Alfred Schultz’s idea of wide-awakeness as a “sense of achievement, a type of awareness” (Greene, 1978). She goes on to explain that teachers and students must be aware of their surroundings. Teachers should have a general idea of what their students already know and should be able to adapt the curriculum to allow new learnings to happen. Students learn best by doing and exploring the world around them. By being awake and present, teachers can tap into that other world of learning. Part of the education taking place in To Kill a Mockingbird, takes on this “learning-by-doing” approach that Miss Caroline practices. Although, Scout and Jem are reprimanded for already knowing how to read and write, Miss Caroline wants them to learn the “right way.” Yet it is she, who needs to be taught about the social context of Maycomb. She is not what Greene would call a “wide-awake” teacher. She attempts to change the students to fit her own perception of what students should be. The Ewells, who only go to school on the first day, are the first ones to break her in and although she still attempts to mold the students to her liking, she doesn’t open the door to education to those who won’t conform to her standards. Scout comments, “Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing” (Lee 18). In her attempt to teach scout the “right way” Miss Caroline actually does more damage than…

    School Fieldwork Study

    My field study was conducted at the Talented and Gifted School for Young Scholars (T.A.G.) Middle School located in the East Harlem section of Manhattan. T.A.G. is a selective public school, governed by the NYC Department of Education. It was founded in 1989 as a magnet program within the school system’s District 4, and became an independent K-8 gifted and talented school in 2004. T.A.G. is one of only three gifted and talented programs in New York City. It serves students identified with gifted abilities in grades K-8. Children are admitted to kindergarten through 2nd grade based on their scores on two tests, the Otis-Lennon School Abilities Test (OLSAT) and the Bracken School Readiness Assessment (BSRA). Children whose scores put them in the 97th percentile nationally are eligible. There are a handful of seats open in the upper grades. Middle school admission is based on grades, standardized test scores and teacher recommendations. There are approximately 500 students comprised mainly of African-American, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern backgrounds, reportedly only 2% of the student body is Caucasian. Each grade level has two classes of up to 25 students each. The school is located in a building that houses four other mini schools, a common practice in schools these days. For instance the high school I attended has been divided into five different high schools.…
