I have mixed feelings about the internship I did last semester. In one way I am extremely glad that I did it‚ and in another way I am not. The internship was at Burgess Elementary School working with first and second graders in their music classes. My reason for choosing this internship was that I am very musical and enjoy it very much and I wanted to see what it was like to have this type of musical profession. I really enjoyed working with the children very much‚ and of course Mrs. Kruczek

Americans today want more news coverage of their schools. If I was the principal at Brownsville Elementary School‚ there are a few steps I would take to improve the media coverage for the school. First‚ I would identify key media reporters and work at creating a friendly‚ beneficial relationship with them. I would go and personally introduce myself to each of them to begin a rapport with them if I didn’t already know them. I would also take their calls or office visits whenever possible‚ or call

http://cie.asu.edu/ojs/index.php/cieatasu/article/view/1056/421 The article I chose to read addressed the lack of equity pedagogy in the elementary mathematics setting. Specifically‚ Christa Jackson‚ the author of this article‚ speaks about the idea that African American students in elementary school settings are not treated fairly and included as they should be. Their cultural values and norms are not considered and it is unfair to those students that are African American. This article specifically

This paper is for adolescents who have started a sport in middle school or grade school and want to play at a high school level. Soccer is a sport that changes skill level. For instance‚ I remember when I was playing midfield in middle school. It was one of our biggest games and we were down in the second half. The other team had the ball and it looked like they were going to score again to put the game out of our grasp. A forward from the other team was dribbling at me. I stabbed at the ball‚ got

My earliest memories of school fill me with dread‚ resentment and an overall feeling of being ‘let down’ by my teachers. I only have fond memories of my lower school – it was warm‚ my teachers were kind and I had a lot of friends. As soon as I moved up to middle school‚ the lovely warm feeling school gave me popped and dissolved as quickly as a bubble would when it hits the ground.

surprising facts were discovered about Wilson Elementary School. Based on the housing trends of the community‚ the distinct difference in the test scores of the majority of the students can be explained through the economic disadvantage. What happens before and after school can be as important as what happens during the school day. Gandara (2010) argued that‚ “students’ environments outside school probably contribute more to schooling outcomes that in-school factors do (p. 28).” Where students live can

It is hard to truly know middle school until you shake it by the hand and let it introduce itself. You hear all of these myths and legends about what goes on inside the walls of any middle school but‚ really‚ it’s not that bad. Once you turn the lights on and realise that you can get to all of your classes on time and that your locker actually opens‚ you will also see that your friends and about to be friends are walking through the same halls as you. So far‚ middle school is super! All of the teachers
