Hello I just wanted to inform all of you about an incident that took place at my placement school this past week at LA Matheson. I am sorry it is quite long but I wanted to share what took place with you all. Also I am sorry if there are writing errors I am supposed to be working on my lesson plan right now but I wanted to get this off my chest.
On Wednesday I saw that a student was very visibly upset about something so I took him outside of the classroom after asking my SA if I could. The student and I had a good conversation, and he told me that another student was touching his turban and trying to knock it off his head. The student also expressed to me that he knows he is getting angry about the situation and he is trying very hard to

When the end of the day bell rang my SA and I were talking about the situation and another teacher who is pregnant came in and told us that the two kids ended up getting into a physical fight in her class and then ran off. She said the vice-principal had come in and only talked to one of the students and then the student was sent back into the classroom. This made me extremely upset and I had a rough night. I realized that I need to work on leaving my school related issues at school so it doesn 't affect my personal life. I did have a conversation with Jenn afterwards, and she had told me to follow up with the vice principle the next day. However my SA, Lauren, ended up emailing me that night and showed me compassion about the things I have experienced so far; she said "You 've only seen a small sampling of what goes on in a classroom and school (sadly it 's been negative)." The next morning I asked the secretary when it would be a good time to speak to the vice-principal and she told me to talk to him right …show more content…
I just wanted to share one of the experience that took place in my placement last week which was a big reality check of the kinds of things teachers have to deal with. Since I am only two months into the program it was a lot to deal with and I will jump back from this situation, but this definitely was mentally and emotionally hard for
During my first few weeks, I met a student named Joseph. He towered over me at 6-foot-4 and weighing 300 pounds. At first, I didn't know what to expect from him.I was surprised to learn he had failed the 9th grade twice and with this being his third try he was in the same grade as his younger brother, Jason. Joe and I became friends fast. I was treated differently because of my skin color but Joe did not judge me. Through students chit-chatter, I learned Joe was very popular and on the football team but had unexpectedly quit his first year. Joe struggled with his classes especially in English and Mathematics. One day in English, another kid was struggling to read a passage aloud, the classroom was filled with snickers and the teacher made the poor kid continue. After class, Joe comforted the kid and made him smile. That was his talent,, he had the ability to make people feel better.
While watching the Uniondale School Board of Education meeting this was something very interesting. The people that attended this meeting where the school board members, the superintendent, the student member, business affairs and people from the local community. The people the present was the student member, two school board members and a couple people from the community. There were a couple things that the board talked about and the members of the community. Something that was very interesting at this board meeting was that the members of the board had a student member by the name of Campbell present during the meeting. Campbell raised a concern about the segregation that is happening in Long Island. She mentioned how she and other people
The Oregon, High, and School Legal Firm (OHSLF) and Maya Irvin-Vitela offer this letter brief in response to the recent issues that have arisen at Backhouse High School.
This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on
The incident on October twenty first was too for us much to overlook, we all decided that we had to talk to Susan about this. We told her about how we were treated and how we are not getting anything out of this experience, and also that is it still possible to switch placements. Susan with Sheryl Bird went to the Grant Street Neighborhood Center and saw it themselves. The center was empty full with kids but neither of them was doing homework only using computers.

I had spoken with my supervisor at work to inform him of my plan to rearrange my hours during the days I had class hoping he would be okay with it as well as asking my best friend to watch my daughter on school nights. The outcome of both conversations was great, they agreed and supported my decision to return and further my education. I was now excited but still had to speak with my daughter and let her know about why on certain days I would have to drop her off with her Godmother and pick her up late at night. It took her awhile to adjust to our new schedule, she still at times doesn’t want me to go to school, I explain to her the benefits in the long run, and she just nods her head and says
Mako returns back to the island with the sound of delight ringing in his ears. The people of Bora Bora put Mako up on their shoulders and walked to the king’s palace. But little did the people of Bora Bora know that Tupa wasn't gone. Tupa was planning something horrible, and was waiting till the people of the village came back to do something. When Mako is carried into the palace, they put him down and the king walks to Mako.

I want to share the experience that I got from reading to the little kids in Washington school. This had been my first time doing community service so I was a little nervous, I didn't think that the kids where going to like me. But when I go to the school and saw the lovable little kids I felt much better. When we got into little groups and started reading they started hugging me and reading along. They made me feel good and I was ready to come back next Thursday. This was the greatest experience that I had ever had, I felt like a teacher and it fells great to have those little kids liking you.
As the time approached, my attitude toward student-teaching was one of confidence and in some ways overconfidence. I believed that I was equipped with all of the tools necessary to be a superior teacher. Little did I know what truly goes on behind the scenes of a teacher. Between grading papers, attending meetings, and preparing lessons, I would often feel overwhelmed. Still, student teaching would prove to be much more valuable than I anticipated. It would teach me to appreciate the wisdom of mentors and experienced teachers, value or being organized and prepared, and lastly the resilience of students.
My life experiences thus far bring the best of both worlds to my education and career goals; a student coupled with a variety of life experiences. Being a newly graduated non-traditional student, mother of school-aged children, and experience working with students in the classroom, I bring diversity to your program. Through personal analysis and efforts with other professionals, I have overcome early childhood tragedies. Desiring to make the best use of my experiences by helping others to overcome trauma, and insecure upbringings by conquering these adversities and circumstances positively. Through my example of grit, tenacity, resilience, and perseverance, I hope to offer much to the students in my role as their mentor.
When students misbehave, I tend to question the reason behind it, and find out why they behave the way they do. Just as Roger (2003, as cited in Porter) suggests when a child acts disruptively it is either because he/she does not understand or they are misunderstood or mistreated. McDonald (2010, p. 232) also explains engaging with the student is essential; we need look inside the student to find the thinking and emotions that contribute to a students misbehaviour. Children are blank slates, they are born innocent, as they encounter new parts of the world we need to protect them and prepare them from the threats of the adult world (Rousseau). Therefore, the behaviour of students can be a reflection of their culture, their family dynamics and how the community around them has treated them (Martella, Nelson, Marchand-Martella, O’Reilly, 2012, p. 148). Fleer (2006) claims, ‘‘culture not only determines the principles for defining development but frames the
As the day approached, I knew that I had just about finished what I wanted to teach. It was going to be a busy day, I had my agenda planned and was almost set. I called the church to find out how many were actually going to attend so that I would have enough materials on hand to give to everyone. I was now in for a big shock. As I was telling the owner of the training agency I work for about the outline, she was calling and letting the daycare know.
We headed down to the principal’s office. My heart was pounding. It felt like it was pumping more blood then it needed to pump. The time it took to reach the principal’s office felt like a million years. We were in the office and my teacher showed the picture to the principal. There it was; the inevitable. This was bound to happen. How did I not see this coming? Why did I just ignore my noggin? The principal said, “How ignorant! Three days of in-school-suspension.” My life was draining by the second. It felt as if I was thrown into a dark chamber filled with corpses. Now I realized to always listen to the authority. My life lesson learned: Take policies seriously. No matter what you say to get out of situations, policy always comes out first.
