Jaime Escalante was phenomena teacher in Los Angles. He was a successful person in the category of outer and inner success. His outer success were to educate his students to the point that is fun education and to pass the calculus placement test. The inner was that somehow he get through his student that education is the most important thing. He explains the importance of attending college. The reason why he goes out of his way to assist these students because poverty that the school is located at, has a toll on the students. As result, students’ expectation are low. There is one scene were the teachers had a meeting and Jaime says that teachers need to set on high expectation on the students. Students need to have “ganas” in order to succeed but without expectation the students

The former DC school chancellor Michelle Rhee and the president of Harlem Children’s Zone, Geoffrey Canada are two leaders whose work stood in out in 2010 as an example of leadership that showed courage, tenacity, and dedication to the future of this country through the education of children.

I began New Mexico School for the Arts afraid of myself. It was a new school, thrust in the chaos of just trying to stay open. I walked into the gym to meet a man with white hair, blue jeans, and a bursting laugh that seemed to settle everyone’s anxiety. Mr. Chavez had embarked on establishing a school where New Mexico’s youth- so often overlooked and disregarded- could learn and master theatrical craft. He had left the large public high school, where the theater bore his own name, to found an opportunity for us. I sit here at my desk writing to you what potentially hundreds, maybe thousands, of people could say. Mr. Chavez changed my life. I say this without melodramatic intent, rather as a statement of fact.

Mr. Escalante pushes his students to overcome great encounters. Stand and Deliver highlights the realities of stakes testing. Students throughout the U.S. are required to take standardized tests. Standardized testing is a controversial issue still today. These tests are used to indicate the average level a student is academically. The problem is, these tests are not accurate at all. The work Mr. Escalante did with his students is relative to today’s educators and their students. Mr. Escalante did more than provide a strong base of academics. He broke down walls they seemed permanent. Adapting to each child’s needs. Getting to know each students and

Imagine you’re in a classroom full of teenagers that don’t want to be there, and are known for being violent and doing illegal activity, and now you’re expected to teach them math. This was the situation of Jaime Escalante. Jaime Escalante took a stand during the 1980s by teaching in a way that helped the students understand that he wanted them to succeed and impacts us today by showing that teacher support can help kids succeed.

Finally, the sadness in that classroom was brought to a climax when I could both see and feel the "programing" within the students' minds. When Mireya was talking about her reluctance to take the sewing class, a boy named Fortino said, "You're ghetto...so we send you o the factory...you're ghetto - so you sew!" (Kozol 645). Even though he was probably speaking sarcastically out of his own frustrations, Fortino's words cut deep.

In spite of her intermittent run-ins with higher-ups, Iserbyt did manage to promote and advance in her career as an educator. It was here where her belief that a conspiracy was afoot and, in her mind, confirmed her understanding of the true agenda in American education. Iserbyt says that she observed many disturbing trends in her tenure as a school board administrator, certainly not the least of which was the continual and gradual reduction in the instruction of basic skills. Especially in the area of mathematics and reading, Iserbyt states

This movie that I watched was based on a true story located in Los Angeles, California 1982. It was about a mathematics teacher named Jaime Escalante who was a new teacher teaching at Garfield High School. The area was mainly surrounded by a population of Hispanics and mostly an environment that valued a quick fix over education and learning. Although Jamie was a new teacher in a school with high rebellion, he tried to change the system since many teachers were focused on disciplining their students rather than enforcing academic work. I realized throughout this film that Jamie was a very determined teacher who worked hard to excel in his profession. He was determined to challenge the students to have a higher level of achievement and be able

Today Students of Mrs.Mcmanus's literacy class observed the seventh-grade students of Mrs. Holyoak’s gym class in the annex gym. Luke Cahill reports that as soon as the seventh graders entered the room you could tell that the group was a high-energy one. Right away there were to boy pushing each other around in a playful manner which also gave of the mood. The class began with a warm-up that included adding and multiplying numbers that were shot from fingers and then whoever got the answer first would run to the next corner of the gym. This warm-up lead to a very loud atmosphere where kids were flying all over the room from corner to corner screaming out answers to the math problems that appeared on their fingers. Although most of the students

My practicum took place on September 7,2016 from nine thirty to ten thirty. The practicum took place at Impact Early College High School in Baytown. The class I observed was Ms. Nguyen’s class of juniors and seniors that contained twenty students, seven boys and thirteen girls. The class appeared to be alert and ready to learn. Since this was their second period class they already had enough time to shake off their fatigue. The subject was Pre-Calculous and the topic was operations of functions. Students entered the classroom in a calm manner and socialized until it was time to start class. The teacher instructed the students to take their seats and take five minutes to write their assignments into their academic calendar. The teacher went

The Special Issue in Teachers College Record was comprised of five papers that examined how well respected African American mathematics teachers in urban settings influence the development of students’ mathematics identity. While the podcast interview briefly discussed all the articles that comprised the Special Issue, particular focus was given to Clark’s case studies, which focused on the racialized experiences of two African American mathematics teachers.
