"Mark, you are won't get anywhere without studying", His mother use to tell him when he use to waist all his time playing rather that studying. Mark wasn't such a good student because he wouldn't spend any time studying, until one day his parents decided to send him to Cushing Academy, a boarding school in the USA, which they knew it was going to improve his study habits and help him being more responsible. But what really amazed his parents was this period of time used to study called "Study Hall". Because of its amazing results, preparation for college, and providing responsibility, Study Hall remains as one of the vital qualities Cushing Academy possess and give students an opportunity to lead in higher education.…
In the first video at John Smith Middle school, on Friday, April fifteenth at 12 pm, the classroom observed was in Mrs. Blue’s middle school class.

I recall reading an article about trigger words a couple of months ago. The article was titled Killing the Conversation in College Classrooms. In in this article they discussed trigger words and their effects on academic discussions in the classroom. They argued that professors are watering down their lectures so not to offend anyone and students are avoiding upsetting discussions because they are unable to handle the stresses that go along with the controversial topics. This article was obviously written from a leftist position because they failed to realize the actual problems. I cannot say I have ever met a student that is so triggered or upset by the use of words that they cannot engage in conversation about their meaning. Also, have you ever heard of a professor being afraid to share his opinions for fear of offending someone? I have sat through too many political rants to know that that argument is simply not true. In reality, the people who end the conversations in classrooms always seem to be the ones who preach open mindedness. These “progressives” hear an opposing opinion and employ what has now become a common tactic today, name calling. Oh, if he thinks that way he must be a racist,…
In this paper, I chose to observe the toddler room. I picked Beau; he has brown hair with hazel eyes. He is 33 months old. He weighs 33 pounds and is 38 inches tall.…
U.S President is often considered as the most powerful person on Earth. U.S President has many powers, but President cannot misuse his powers. The system called checks and Balances keeps everything in order for the U.S government to run. If Congress thinks that the president is misusing his power, the congress can impeach the president, but in order to do that congress requires 2/3 of majority votes. There are three branches in the U.S government, Legislative, Executive, and the judicial branches. The president is the head of the Executive branch, which is responsible for enforcing laws passed by the congress.…
To be a successful and impactful teacher, one needs many traits in order to facilitate active learning while maintaining a solid classroom environment. What makes a teacher effective is knowledge, which includes theoretical knowledge about behavioral patterns and knowledge pertaining to the subject at hand. These skills are used to display attitudes that foster hardy relationships between the teacher and their students (Ryan, Cooper, & Bolick, 2016, p.156). Personally, I experienced this level of success in my professor Jay Varner at James Madison University. Varner had an unprecedented enthusiasm for reading, writing, and rhetorical matter. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about these topics, but he presented them to the class…
During this lesson, I was able to observe not only the classroom teacher, but also a student teacher from Texas A&M. As the student teacher was explaining to the students what a truism is, the teacher was pacing around the room as she spoke with the students about their essays. The student sat in their desk the entire period, listening and learning about how to correctly write a truism.…
Participants were recruited randomly from the Kaplan University campus student body. Just over 1/10 of the population (1,093), agreed to participate in the study. Flyers, pamphlets, and posters, in addition to the school’s newsletter and radio station broadcasted the need for participants during the hours of 10 am to 2pm each day. Study participants underwent a face-to-face question and answer forum designed to determine which group within the study they belonged. Half of the group agreed to use the XCEL program while the other half did not. With permission from the second group of students, their assessments, GPA scores, and classroom observations became part of the study as a control group.…
In chapter three, An Uncommon Education, Guangcheng expressed how he have gotten his education while fighting for justice using the law. First of all, in Linyi, Guangcheng started learning braille using the braille board before classes even begins. When classes began, Guangcheng got the hang of the braille board quickly. Unfortunately, school wasn’t as he as hoped, he even considered it as jail, because he thought the school was supposed to be supported by the government since their government is socialism. The students including him suffered greatly because: lack of water; Forbidden from going outside to buy food; Restriction on the use of bathroom especially at night. No one was allowed to go. When Guangcheng was chosen to become the school…

I decided to take CELTA course as part of my continuing professional development. I am working in a FE institution and I am training and assessing NVQs at the moment, but have wanted to move on to full time ESOL and literacy for quite some time. I also really wanted to go travelling and thought that teaching could be the answer to any cash shortages on the way. The three month-journey I put myself through with CELTA proved to me that I can actually start thinking seriously about pursuing a career in ELT and gave me confidence to kick start my travelling preparations, because I do not have to worry so much about coming back and finding myself without a job, money and career perspectives. All through my life people told me I would make an ok teacher and now I think I believe them. I thoroughly enjoyed the “ride”: the lesson planning, the stress of standing in front of a group of people, the hectic atmosphere of working and studying at the same time, the deadlines, the madly long hours in the library and most of all, the overwhelming feeling of wild satisfaction I get after a successful lesson. I do realise, however that there is a long way to go before I reach the standard I set for myself, but the end of the course does not, in any way mean the end of development for me. To learn language teaching in three months is really a challenge, but because of its structure, the course facilitates a tremendous learning curve in all students. When I think about it now, at the end of the journey, I think that part time course is the only option that could work for me, not only because I am in a full time employment, but because the course lasts over 12 weeks, it provides an opportunity to finish my lesson, sit back and really think about the strengths and weaknesses and the progress and areas to improve. My TP experience started with some good comments; Fay wrote that my “presence in the classroom is flawless and you are…
