Recommended: Discuss the major approaches to environmental education

Working in a school that focuses on using the environment to teach, I may be having a different experience than other students may be having. Almost everything that is done at the school is related back to nature or is taught in the forest or greenhouse. Most of the lessons are hands on learning with things from our environment. A few weeks ago, I did an activity with some kiddos that directly related to Piagets conservation tasks. I have also been working in a classroom of kindergarteners in which we have been working on language and pragmatics a lot. In class, we talked about synapses and how to make things connect to multiple things for children. The school I am at does a good job at this. Earlier in the year, I was working with a group

  • My Experience With ELL

    The experience of teaching ELL students was very enlightening to me. At the time I was expected to teach this lesson, students were in the middle of their social studies unit of responsibility. They learned about various types of responsibilities, and one of them was responsibility to the environment. The actual lesson I was supposed to teach focused on the importance of making choices that would have a positive impact on students’ close environment. I was also to talk about environmental problems in the students’ neighborhood, and encourage them to devise some solutions to those problems.

  • What Is My School Experience Essay

    962 Words  | 2 Pages

    My school experience did little, if anything, to prepare me to become a well-rounded citizen. I did not learn a more diverse vocabulary or how to analyze and learn information because my teachers were not motivated to teach these topics properly. Also, while I may have learned the basic politics of America, I do not know nearly enough to make me a strongly reliable citizen. In addition, I feel as if my inadequate education could have been avoided if I was given a solid education rather than simply what I needed to get by. My personal quality as a citizen and future leader of America as been greatly impacted by many failures of my high school education. My school experience with learning how to create a more

    When we sit in a science class, most of the time we are bored as bored can get. We really do not get a chance to explore on our own to find out what’s really out there. Teachers sometimes are not able to get in depth outside the textbook because they are required to teach that all in the year. That is why a lot of kids do not really get into science because they are stuck to the book all the time. Some kids love science and do not really care about the work they have to do. Environmental science, is more than the book really says.

    In America everyone has the right to a free public education. States set standards for schools in an attempt at ensuring all students get the same quality education. No matter how many standards are set, students will not have equal schooling. Schooling is larger then the lessons taught in the classroom. Each student’s school experience is different, not only because of the quality of their education but because of things like school location, demographic, teachers, participation, and other person experiences. My school experience has helped define me as a person and has helped guide me through life.

  • My Personal Experience: My Experience As A Student

    1162 Words  | 3 Pages

    During my time as a student I have been able to develop the way I learn and interact with others to a degree that has also helped me to mature into a better person. I have come to believe that this maturity will help me to develop into a better thinker as well, one that has the patience to listen and take consideration of what others have to say. I consider the act of learning a two way avenue that has to be taken seriously. It is one that involves the teacher, and the protégé. It has been, and will continue to be, my absolute goal as a student to become a diligent protégé and acquire all of learning my teachers have set in front of me. The way each of them have helped me to think about how my actions, and the way I choose to study my lessons and develop as a student, has made a tremendous impact on my life. This impact is one that I will carry into the future as I myself advance in my professional studies.

  • Essay On My Experience In School

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    My experience with school was very challenging and overcoming my personal struggles was not an easy feat. I started Kindergarten with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and I’m thankful that my preschool teacher recognized my learning challenges and encouraged my parents to have me evaluated. We found out that I had ADHD and learning disabilities that would make academic achievement a challenge for me. More specifically, I had difficulty decoding words and pronouncing some letter sounds such as “R’s” and “W’s”. As a result, excelling in school was a challenge due to my disability and the reaction of other students to my disability only made it more difficult.

  • My Personal Experience In College

    The biggest piece of advice I would give to an incoming student is “You get what you put in”. Now I say this because my first semester of college was an experience that I disliked. Something that I did wrong was, I only went to class then went home. At the time I felt it was best to give my education all of my attention. It was like this for five days a week from August to December. I began to question if college was for me, and if I even belonged anywhere. I felt alone, clueless, and unimportant to the campus. I wasn’t use to feeling like this I was always in extracurricular activities, meeting new people, having close relationships, and being employed. After my first semester, I had enough of feeling this way and knew I had to be the person

    After going through the details on this topic I started realizing the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem. It would not be wrong to say that it has also bought upon a sense of responsibility and maturity in me towards the sensitive issues surrounding us which generally are ignored or are not given much importance by the students of my age group. I do now believe that even our small contribution can make a difference in preserving this great natural gift of God.
