Today, all of the middle school students took PSSA testing for the majority of the morning. The students started testing at around 8:00 a.m. Testing concluded at around 11:00 a.m. During the testing period, I planned and placed a bulletin board in the hallway, based on the sources of vitamin D. I also rewrote several recipes using Microsoft word.
After testing, I saw the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade food classes for one period each. The 8th grade class made one batch of chocolate chip cookie batter and froze it. Next week, the students will bake the cookies. Normally, the students need two whole periods to make cookie batter and bake the cookies as well. Splitting the batter making and baking into two separate periods was a smart way to cope with

This meant that Ms. Zavada and I would once again; only see the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes for one period. The schedule is quite annoying actually, since every class activity has to be modified now. Today, the classes had the same modified schedule that I described the day before. The 6th and 7th grade classes made strawberry banana fruit smoothies. I taught both the 6th and the 7th grade classes how to make the smoothie. I struggled with teaching the 6th grade class. However, teaching the 7th grade class seemed easier to me. The 7th grade classes seem easier to teach, since they have more cooking experience. Older students can also comprehend directions better. While teaching the 6th grade class, I had to stop several times to address side conversations that occurred in class. This took away from the amount of time I had to teach my lesson. It also required me to address the behavior. I addressed the behavior with the class by stopping the class and asking the students to pay attention to me. Side conversations are often fine in my classroom; however they cannot occur while I am lecturing or giving directions. With the 7th grade class, I did not have to address any behavior

In this paper I discuss the creation, distribution, and results of a psychological test. The test consisted of knowledge and self-report sections, which tested the construct of “The AZA and Zoos”. According to their website, The Association of Zoos and aquariums (AZA), is an independent, non-profit organization that grants an optional accreditation to zoos, aquariums, and wildlife sanctuaries. Institutions that meet their strict standards for animal welfare and care after a series of inspections and interviews are granted a five-year accreditation. In addition to their standards for animal care, they are also invested in conservation of species, and education of the general public (AZA, 2016). The knowledge portion evaluated general knowledge of the AZA policies and procedures, while the self-report evaluated overall opinion on Zoos. An example item for the knowledge portion was item three “An AZA accreditation is not necessary to operate a zoo “. An example item for the self-report portion was item 32 “I think zoos are a positive enrichment activity for children “. The intended survey population for this survey was the general population.

For me, the Student Government Association is not just a student organization. I believe that it is a place for enthusiastic students to share their thoughts and give input on the major aspects of USD. While our school is already amazing, there are still things that can improve. Because of my motivation and desire to make USD the best, I want to serve on SGA. SGA would provide me with the tools to help express not only my views, but also my peers as well.

In 2007, the school had a change in leadership and had students attend 2 periods per day, mourning class and afternoon class. They would complete a semester's worth of work in 21 days, then focus on 2 additional classes for another 21 days. So that at semester, students would have completed 6 classes like the rest of the building. The only hiccup with this is attendance was so bad, if students missed more than 2 days it was equivalent to missing 3 weeks of school at the comprehensive setting. Students had to have homework logs documenting how many hours of homework they had completed.

In order to accommodate the year round calendar, there are several forms of year round education. The first form follows a single track calendar. This is the most popular type of calendar (Shields, 2000). A single track year is usually implemented to “provide a more balanced and enriched education program or to accommodate the special scheduling needs of a community” (Glines, 2002, 2699). A single track calendar takes on a 45/15 design. This is where students go to school for forty-five days in a row, and then have a fifteen day break. It is a continuous cycle. Schools usually begin in early August, and follow this pattern four times to complete the school year (Glines, 2002). The three week break in between is called an intersession. During this time, students can choose to take additional educational courses through “remedial,
Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever
A student was talking while you were trying to present your lesson. The first step would be to evaluate the goal of the misbehavior. Was the student doing this for attention? If that is the reason behind the behavior, then the student would be attention-seeking. Next step would be to provide interventions based on the goal. If the child is seeking attention, the child may need attention; catch them being good or
We have no periods and no specific classes, in our school we have one specific teacher and we work on all subjects throughout the day. We also have mixed grades, for example we have eight graders mixed in with seventh and sixth graders. And we all work together. Like if a sixth grader needed help on math the eighth grader will help them instead of the teacher doing all of the helping. There are different lunch periods. From 12:00-12:45, is the big kids lunch time. From We can even eat lunch with other grades. Our assignments are not due the new day we have a menu. This is used to be able to manage our time more. We do a lot
It is October 15th. Normally, students would be at school, working for hours on end at math, communication arts, and science. But this year is different. This year your school has now entered into the year-round calendar system. At home, you can enjoy the season of fall with pumpkins, Halloween, and beautiful weather. The idea of year round school has most commonly been pushed aside because of the misconception that it is too much school, or an on-going cycle of learning. However, those who declare this, do not understand the year-round school concept. Year-round school provides the same number of days as the traditional calendar. The difference, which will change our society and the achievement rate of our students in the future, is that the days are reordered into intersessions. The mechanisms of year round school include students attending school for a nine week period, then following this is a three week break. This rotation occurs year-round with a slightly longer summer break. Consequently, Though many people agree with keeping tradition with the popular school calendar, new evidence and testimony proves that year-round school provides the better avenue because the world is evolving, it benefits low income students, and intersessions are more effective than summer break.
A very current and ongoing important issue happening within the education system is standardized testing. A standardized test is any examination that's administered and scored in a calculated, standard manner. There are two major kinds of standardized tests: aptitude tests and achievement tests. Standardized aptitude tests predict how well students might perform in some subsequent educational setting. The most common examples are the SAT’s and the ACT’s. The SAT and the ACT attempt to estimate how well high school students will perform in college. But standardized test scores are what citizens and school board members rely on when they evaluate a school's effectiveness. Nationally, five such tests are in use: California Achievement Tests,
The test taking lessons have helped me learn more about having good strategies for a test. I feel that with these lessons learned I can have more confidence to take a test and pass it. In this report I want to show why test taking is an important skill to learn. I also wanted to describe how I have prepared for test in the past. I also wanted to discuss three strategies I have learned from the computer tutorial in class and how I have changed my study habits so I can do better on test.
