Throughout the educational journey, the goal is to make sure that every student has the opportunity to be able to learn and understand at least one concept that a teacher has taught them and even encourage them to continue the educational path and develop a love for knowledge and understanding. As a current college student and future educator, I discovered upon a small business call BrainPOP. From educating students in a creative manner to helping teacher organize their learning materials base on the grade level and learning program, BrainPOP will always be known as an innovative and very resourceful small business. When handling children, we have to remember that they are very curious individuals who also have a short attention span when
They need to learn the difference between multitasking and trying to do multiple things at a time. Knowing what can have little attention and what needs your full attention can help out a lot. For example when you are talking to someone, that is when your full attention is needed, as well as working on homework. When something needs a little bit of your attention it will be okay to be distracted. For example it is okay to work out and watch television at the same time, because you are just trying to either entertain or distract yourself to make time go by faster.
Understandably, I had some doubt about carrying out this age group’s observation at the UCF Creative School, seeing as how I knew that the oldest kid in the school was about eleven. My backup plan if no volunteers in the proper age range were available or if I felt as if the data I gathered was not sufficient was to observe teenagers at a mall. However, after the first fifteen minutes I was hopeful. Of course, as mentioned before, during the third observational time the volunteer who was nineteen left the area I was allowed to observe in. So I stayed a little later in order to ensure I had the proper amount of time to observer. It was a bit different only being able to observe one person at a time, but I reasoned that it makes sense doing this as their may be a time in my future career as an educator where I will be asked to write a report about a particular student’s behavior for an IEP teacher or parents. During this additional fifteen minutes the class was still outside in the playground. Most of the kids finished their scavenger hunt, however it was very clear that most simply copped or traded answers about where they found certain things. Because of this, the daycare employees in this group decided to walk the kids around and have them explain where they found the items. While the two daycare ladies were doing this, the volunteer collected the sheets and pencils from the

From my personal experiences, I have to come to the conclusion that it doesn't always work the way I believe when observing a child. I strongly feel that in order to get to know a child you should not spend most of your time observing him/her. Interacting with the child gives off better results. Not once or twice, this should be a consistent thing.
Teachers help us expand and open our mind by giving us skills throughout students’ early life to help students when they are older. By learning information from teachers, students become better people, in a couple of ways. Besides inquiring knowledge from their teachers, students learn to work with one another, open their mind to other peoples’ thoughts and ideas, respect one another, and learn different techniques for life’s issues.
The saying, “true knowledge means being aware one knows nothing,” in turn couldn’t be more accurate. Each day is a chance to learn, achieve, and aspire for tomorrow; thus, it is essential to make every day count. Education is not about regurgitating facts to pass an exam and then forget the material a week later, but instead inspiring a craving for knowledge and enthusiasm to seek information and experience. These are the foundations for which discovery and innovation rest upon, and the proverbs to which I live. My infinite hunger for knowledge and restless longing to make a difference have pushed me past my potential and to continue striving for more each day. The support my family and teachers have provided me during grade school has etched the axiom in my mind that anything can be accomplished if worked towards ambitiously. I know what I want to achieve in life and the determination needed to prevent diverging from that goal. I desire to seek the most life has to offer and never limit the extent of my learning, which is why I struggle to imagine myself at any other institution apart from Penn State
Education is something of value worldwide, however receiving a good education is what is important. There are various components that make up a good education; being able to ask questions when a person is confused, using technology to expand one’s learning, and not only student engagement but even parent and faculty engagement. Most importantly, it crucial to understand what type of learner the student is to be sure that they are understanding the material.
Teachers try their best to help their students. Students improve their thinking by understanding the concept that is being taught to them. In the video from "Learning As We Grow – Development and Learning” the three teachers interacted in ways that played a part in their students learning (Annenberg Learner, 2016).
When it comes to understanding children’s actions, their behavior, and their thinking it is imperative to understand the whole brain of the child. Children brains are developed through their parents, and the experiences they encounter as they are growing up. In the textbook Siegel & Bryson talks about the different parts of the brain. First, we must understand that our brain is a social organ. In knowing this, when our children encounter different circumstances we have to learn how to integrate them in thinking through situations with their whole. “Integration takes the distinct parts of your brain and helps them work together as a whole” (Siegel & Bryson, 6). Parents have to observe their children and know how to deal with them. All children are wired different and have their own
Helping students to learn and grow is a foundational belief of what I will strive to accomplish as a teacher. Every single student has their own individual talents and strengths and I plan to cultivate these strengths to help students become the best they can be. As every student’s learning is extremely important to me, I believe in providing an engaging and welcoming learning environment which students truly enjoy. This will always be a safe and positive environment for all students. My teaching strategies include elements of clarity, variability, enthusiasm, and opportunities to learn and discover. These are essential components I possess and will continually work to improve as an educator.
Learning initially begins with one's attitude toward themselves, others, and the world we live in. It is our attitudes that play a major role in shaping our experiences, which in turn affects the way in which we learn. We must first be able to interpret the world using information we already know, in order to understand something entirely new. As a teacher, I could only hope that I can provide children with a positive educational experience, one that will broaden the scope in which they view themselves, others, and the world on a larger scale. Children already acquire a desire to learn, however, it is up to us to sti...

The future of education is very promising to younger generations. From Kindergarten though college many changes are brewing. On the horizon are things like smart objects, full-length online courses, and prosthetic devices designed to equalize education.
Educating current and future generations involves more than simply imparting common knowledge of core subject matter such as reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is an art and a science that requires a great deal of time, energy, money, and mental and emotional investment on the teacher’s part. The success of education depends largely on the educators facilitating it, the pupils receiving it, the community that understands and supports it, and the curricula it provides.
I believe it is the obligation of an educator to help create lifelong learners out of our students. Three key elements need to be present for this to take place. Confidence, relevance and motivation must all be present. Students need to have the confidence to try and succeed, or try and fail. This may sound like a trivial example, but I believe it is essential to success. Without knowing and understanding failure, students will not be able to appreciate success and what it takes to succeed. Confidence will be gained through the trial and error that takes place in the successful business educator’s classroom. Rele...
