When looking back on Math 297‚ I am reminded of the first time I heard mention of the course in Math 157 by Shari Dorsey. Shari was sharing with the class that in the fall a special topics class was going to be available‚ the topic being instruction in the middle years. I was so eager to sign up for the course that I emailed the instructor‚ Margaret Kinzel‚ immediately requesting a permission number. The eagerness to secure myself a position in this course stems from a desire to have as thorough

MY OWN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION Teaching‚ as always heard‚ is a noble profession and that our teachers are heroes of the new generation. We have been openly taught that teachers take a large amount of contribution to our youth’s future. Why? Who said this? Who really is a teacher? What is really there in teaching? A teacher‚ being a second parent in the school and a person a child having contact with in most of the days of his life‚ really affects a child humanity. With this‚ I believe that

"A teacher’s greatest joy is seeing his/her students have success." These are the first words that came out of the mouth of Mr. James Glennon on the first day of class. A man who can be considered ancient‚ with his white hair and thick rectangular glasses stood in front of the classroom with a commanding presence. At first‚ he was frightening to me‚ but in the coming days I noticed his personable character. Not all students come to school excited to learn‚ but Glennon is the type of teacher that

My cousin‚ Lana‚ is speaking to me- she had me over for lunch to discuss the family- yet I am distracted by the large instrument that takes up almost half the room.

Often the successive step forward to embracing Pedagogic documentation is viewed at odds with the existing EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework (Dfe‚ 2014)‚ which many suggest supports a developmental approach to assessment (Moyles & Worthington‚ 2011). Whilst we readily acknowledge that development matters‚ this approach is felt to be excessively constrained by its reporting requirements and assessment obligations. Ollson‚ (2009:113) endorsed this principle but also added currently “there

During my time at primary school I felt that some of my teachers were not supportive when it came to dealing with pupils who were struggling with low self-esteem issues. I want to be a teacher who will encourage children who are facing difficulties so that they can enjoy their time at school. It is well-known that a child learns more skills between the ages of 3-7 than any other time in their lives and therefore it is imperative I demonstrate my commitment and dedication to enhance the development

In my school there are many teachers. Each one teaches us different subjects. Although all of them are fairly good‚ there is one teacher whom I love and admire the most. Her name is Mrs. Grace Gilo.

She was the kind of person that everyone loved. She never asked too much‚ or expected too much. She is
