Mark Bauerlein, author of “Too Dumb for Complex Texts?” believes that teenagers need to read more complex texts in high school to properly prepare for college. Bauerlein explains that forty-three percent of students at two-year public colleges and twenty-nine percent of students that attend four public colleges are not ready for colleges. Secondly, Bauerlein states that teenagers cannot multi-task, but when we try to multi-task we don’t grasp the reading. In conclusion Bauerlein shows that if you want to be ready for college, it starts from high school and how taking your time with complex text to a receptivity to deep…
“Geography was the primary factor in shaping the development of the British colonies in North America.” I agree with this statement because geography did play an important role in the making of the British colonies. In all areas, the geography influenced the way people lived, what they ate, the types of homes they lived in, the jobs they held and the farming conditions for the better, and in some areas, for the worse.…

Each student has different strategies for learning and achieving their goals. A few students in a classroom will grasp and learn quickly, but at the same time there will be those who have to be repeatedly taught using different techniques to be able to understand the lesson. Also, there will be students who roam around and use college as entertainment. They won’t like our instructions or policies. Teaching then becomes difficult, especially if there is no proper communication. Like wise the student disruptions may occur in classes that are poorly organized and managed where students are not provided with appropriate and interesting instructional tasks.…
Class rules were discussed prior to the beginning of the lesson and, also, a poster with these rules was placed in plain sight.

‘’Our attitude toward[s] life determines life’s attitude towards us’’ – Earl Nightingale. A positive attitude consists in having a correct predisposition towards life and looking optimistically at the situations life face us with. A positive attitude can benefit you in more ways than you think. We are constantly surrounded by negativity each day and it’s really easy to blame it on the world or on the people we’re surrounded by, but truth is, a large portion of the negativity is self-inflicted. If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you 're more likely to be an optimist. By being positive, we’re able to transform not only ourselves and our lives, but also the lives of those around us. There are numerous effects that result from maintaining a good attitude in your daily life, some of these are being healthier, lowering the stress levels on your life, and boosting your self-confidence.…
After being in school for quite a while now, I can see how students reaction certain situations, as well as myself. It seems where a class is mainly taking notes or reading from a textbook, students tend to doze off, become uninterested, start texting, etc. Where as a class that involves activity and full involvement in the class, the students are ecstatic to learn. Students tend to excel in these classes and leave the class with actual knowledge on the subject.…
A study conducted by Hattie (2002) revealed that thirty percent of the variance in performance of students could be accounted for by what the teacher knows, does and cares about. He identified influences on the learner in terms of magnitude and concluded that the teachers’ feedback has the greatest influence on academic performance as compared to other factors. Teachers, in the education world, are considered as significant other in the life of their students and so, whatever their actions just like a parent toward the child, they are taken seriously and consequently have a very big impact in the student’s creation of self-fulfilling prophecies which contribute greatly to their academic self-esteem. Teachers communicate to learners about their own perceptions, beliefs, potentials and ability of the learner through feedback. Teacher’s feedback is considered one of the most powerful instructional variables in terms of enhancing student’s achievement. The feedback that they provide can be positive or negative, corrective or non-corrective. In order to improve the academic self-esteem of the learner we have to be very careful in the way we provide feedback.…
The attitude of the parent is also crucial to student achievement. If a parent has a positive attitude toward the school, and towards learning in general, the child will tend to have the same positive outlook. If any parent has concerns about the school or a specific teacher, it is recommended that the parent be very careful how those concerns are voiced in the child's presence. If a child picks up on a negative attitude and adopts that attitude as…
