The answer is any student that is the required age to attend and living within the boundaries of the school. My school would have equal funding as other schools, regardless of the district that they are in, urban, suburbs, or rural. This would ensure that the students would have equal opportunity and access to an education. In my dream school and its system, each student should have the opportunity to excel per their ability with parents and teachers lifting them up to the task.

America’s public school system started off very rough, but through the dedication of many hard-working Americans, it was starting to shape into a system that allowed all children, regardless of race, gender, religion, or nation of origin, to have an education.
4. I choose this topic for this assignment because it fascinated me. I wanted to learn more about who and what started the public school system we find in America today. Our educational system has changed over the years and with the 'policies' of doing things has changed as well. I really wanted to le...
What do we do with children with disabilities in the public school? Do we include them in the general education class with the “regular” learning population or do we separate them to learn in a special environment more suited to their needs? The problem is many people have argued what is most effective, full inclusion where students with all ranges of disabilities are included in regular education classes for the entire day, or partial inclusion where children spend part of their day in a regular education setting and the rest of the day in a special education or resource class for the opportunity to work in a smaller group setting on specific needs. The need for care for children with identified disabilities both physical and learning continues to grow and the controversy continues.
The premise of this essay is to give an idea of what the philosopher Aristotle’s view on the education system in the early 1900s. Specifically, the schools influenced by John Dewy and the schools influenced by him, such as the ones in Gary, Indiana. My idea is to have Aristotle give his thoughts and ideas both good and bad on the way the school system was run at that time and who’s idea of public schools best fits the need of the children becoming moral citizens. Aristotle will run through a school day with the children starting with his walk to school, observing classes (reading, writing, arithmetic, home economics, machine shop, field trips) and finally the end of the school
Some of the adaptations that I would do for my students with disabilities, would be: have high expectations of them, sit them in the front of the class, design special curriculum to fit their needs, make things as comfortable as I could, set goals, laugh and have fun. I would expect all my students to participate, and cues learned from F.A.T. such as giving students time to answer a question when asked. I will give praise for jobs well done and encouragement to keep
I will collaborate with the support staff in the building, families and plan daily activities to bring the vision of inclusion to my classrooms vision of success. I’ll lead small groups that are comprised of Special needs and general education students working to improve specific needs. When planning classroom duties all students will be assigned different jobs at the beginning of the week. Each student will be Special Student of the day at some point throughout the year. When Support Staff comes in the room to work with those in special education, they will pull general education students with prior approval in the group so that the special education student isn’t singled out. Every student in my r room will be included in sharing family activities with the class and take on the responsibility of line
In my classroom I will make sure that the children with special needs are benefiting from instruction. I will pair this student up with someone who is capable of helping. The student will be getting my instruction as well as help from one of their peers. I will be aware that this student is a learner with special needs and I will teach this student at a level in which he/she is comfortable. I will make sure I am aware of everything that I can about this student?s special needs. I will be in a tight contact with the student and his/her parent/guardian so I can be aware that they are working with him/her at home. If this isn?t the case then I will pair this student up with another student after school, with myself, or with someone else that would be willing to give this student extra time.
List any special features of your school or classroom setting (e.g., charter, co-teaching, themed magnet, remedial course, honors course) that will affect your teaching in this learning segment.
In this paper, you have explored the history of American education. You have learned about the first high school and the current problems in present day schooling. Now the next time that you step into a school, go to a graduation, or walk your child into kindergarten on the first day of school, take a moment to think of how all of this came to be, and since you read this paper you will know the answer.
My philosophy on education is that all students should receive the most uplifting educational experience. I want to change a student’s spirit towards all aspects of their school and curriculum. Creating a sense of pride in themselves and where they attend school is a crucial element in their interest in education. A student should be allowed to form their own opinions, instead of conforming to the ideas of their teacher. This will be accomplished by allowing the students to take charge of their learning so that it will hold some significance to them. I feel it is my responsibility to help shape the students’ character, as well as their minds. An educator should model the behaviors that are expected from their students. An educator should practice ideal qualities such as acceptance, empathy, and broadmindedness. A teacher is not the only model that students will be exposed to in their life. This is why it is crucial to involve parents and other members of the community to share in your vision. Students learn a variety of social skills as they embark on their education at any school district. They learn to listen, take turns, hear different points of view, negotiate, communicate, and take responsibility for their own behavior. I believe that when students have those skills and attitudes; learning will be meaningful in their lives. The vision of an educator will not hold any meaning unless it is implemented, maintained and promoted to the school and community. The goal of the school is to provide the students with a wide variety of educational experiences that will encourage self-respect, the acceptance of others, customary behavior, life-long learning, and active participation in society.
In the past, disabled students—students with physical and emotional/behavioral problems—were often segregated from the “normal classroom environments.” The segregation of students, either through special schools or home-based tutoring, was justified for various reasons. Separate schools provided specialized services, tailored to meet the educational needs of children with a specific type of handicap. Moreover, this freed the regular public schools of having to provide services and infrastructure needs of the disabled student population (Circle of Inclusion Project, 2003).
In every school there are stereotypical groups such as the jocks, the intelligent, the cheerleaders, and the regular people. But not everyone sees the difference in the grades from freshman to seniors. Freshmen's come into the high school with a fresh new mind. Ever go to a freshman cafeteria? They are very loud, talkative and very energetic. Ready for what’s coming next in their new school and their new life. The opposite of how a sophomore cafeteria or any other grade. From coming to highschool as a freshmen to becoming a senior has its ups and downs. As a high school student seeing and going through all grades, there is a big difference on how they act. All grades act in a certain way by the grades and as years go on and on they lose that kid energy and start maturing. While maturing is a great thing, losing that energy and full of joy can be a bad thing.
As a child, other than dreaming that in the future I wanted to be a princess, like any other girl, I have never once strayed from the fact that I wanted to go into the medical field. I have always been sure of what I wanted and I have taken my high school career very seriously. I decided against traditional foreign languages like Spanish and French to do Latin instead because I knew that it would help me in the medical fIeld. Unlike other seniors, I have decided not to take it easy this year, but instead to really challenge myself in preparation for the future. I have been called absolutely crazy by my peers and even my guidance counselor for doubling up on my science this year, with AP Biology and Honors Anatomy and Physiology. In addition
This year, I have a one goal to achieve in school that is getting better at Language Arts. I am going to get better at it by going on to apps or web sites that are related to it. Another way I am going to get better at it is, reading more. I will find out new vocabulary words and will get better at reading. The third way I can get better at Language Arts is by getting to know new words and there meanings. I can get those types of words from a dictionary. This is one goal I have for this year.
Before the experiences, I only saw the importance of creating an environment for students without disabilities, but now I am able to see the importance of having students with and without disabilities in one progressive environment. I have set a new goal of realizing that each student’s future is just as important as the next. Each individual is capable of different skills and intellectual level, but each individual deserves a future of reaching goals, contributing to the community, and exploring their options. I hope to remain in this mindset has as I venture into a career in education.
