Teaching At An Uncommon School

From the very beginning of the course, teachers should begin to analyse their learners through initial assessment methods.

These can easily give the teacher/tutor an insight into the learning needs of the learners. Also

Having discovered my calling to work with nontraditional students, I took a position with St. Charles Youth and Family Services as a Teacher of Experiential Education. This position allowed me to interact with urban students from MPS who were expelled, court ordered or Special Education students who were deemed best suited to self-contained program.

I am seeking to join Teach for America for a few reasons. The first reason is because I want to make a change. So many of today’s youth are lacking the required educational foundation needed to succeed. The problem is not that they aren’t smart enough or that they are not capable of high achievement. The problem is that they are not given the same opportunities that are found in a different zip code or a neighboring town. The lack of equality in the education system is disparaging and is a social injustice effecting children that do not have any control over the area where they live. It is my belief that many students in low-income communities can benefit from having someone who believes in them and can help them reach their highest potential.

I acknowledge that without the help of mentors and teachers who believed in me, I would not be where I am today. I want to be part of this organization because students in low income communities deserve a “Mr. Bravo,” a supportive mentor that will provide a quality education and prepare students to be civically engaged citizens. By being part of this organization not only will I be a devoted teacher but also a mentor, resource counselor, and community leader. I will push my students to achieve academic excellence and challenge them to be invested in their community. I will collaborate with teachers, partnerships and community members to provide a holistic learning environment. I believe that together we can build a stronger and safer community for the

For the last few years, I thought I was taking the right approach. After going through the resources for this assignment, I realized that I do need to spend some time on teaching students multiple choice strategies and test taking skills, especially when they are showing the least success on this section of the exam. For an example, I never thought to teach students how to identify distractors, and this is something simple that could be embedded in the Bell Ringer or even for a quick Exit Slip. Some other general strategies I thought were useful were: students should show up on time, to reduce anxiety from feels nervous and rushed; students should avoid cramming (I’m a huge procrastinator and it has been my demise all throughout school); students should try to teach the subject to their parents or study partner (When I used to do math problems as a child, I would pretend I was a teacher and I would explain how what I was doing to my cat. This strategy probably explains why I did well in this subject and even went on to pursue a math major in

With the change of families, new expectations regarding education started to emerge as well.
