Ideal Grade Level
After so many years of attending TCC and attending one year at Tarleton State University I can finally say that all I am missing from the teacher education program is four courses in the fall semester and my student teaching. Out of all the reading classes I have taken throughout my career I can happily say that the reading class that I am needing is READ 4310 which I plan to take in the fall. The certification area that I seek is EC-6 Bilingual. I hope to start off in a lower grade level once I start working . The ideal grade level for me is second grade because they do not deal with the STAAR stress. I have been a teacher assistant for a fourth grade class for the past 5 months and I have seen so much stress put on the students. Once I feel

Many of the skills students acquire through library instruction tie into a variety of goals which have been determined to contribute to making students “college and career ready”.

    Action Reading Program Analysis

    I began working with my student relatively late in the program due to scheduling conflicts after many negotiations and time working with student we are able to come up with a schedule that works for us. When we first began the program I noticed that she seemed to grasp the concepts rather quickly and almost became bored with the program from start. My student is a young girl who happens to be my younger sister and she is able to read. While her reading level is not low it is not real high either side. I figured this program would be perfect for her and allow her the chance to really learn some additional class time skills that you may not learning traditional classrooms as she is homeschooled. Her mother agreed to allow me to use the training class for her and teach her to read within the short amount of time that I have in this class. She began following along very well and was able to make quick progress within a few minutes and she even some games and the singing fun.…

    Diversity Course Reflection

    Hi Mary, I also hope that I can learn more about diversity in this world through this course. Being Hispanic, I guess gives me a step forward into at least knowing how the Hispanic population sees the world, but I would love to learn more about other ethnicities. I would love to teach second grade, but during my field experience, I observed a fifth-grade class and it's a perfect grade to teach because they are more independent.I personally do not enjoy English but I think it's going to be a great subject for you if you enjoy writing. By the things that you mentioned in your discussion, I hope that you will become a great fifth-grade teacher and open the minds and eyes of those students who have absolutely no clue of how beautiful and interesting…

    It is Not All about the Grades

    One positive to Grade Inflation is the fact that students are less stressed over grades and school over all, besides the more money the school gets as a result of higher letter grade output. Although students are less stressed, the do however become lazier which in the end results in more stupid people. Some students might take advantage of this and take more classes or do positive and valuable things outside of school. This would not be a problem if students are responsible for their education, and see that grades are not the main reason why students go to school. Students go to schools to learn and understand what they learn. Teachers in grade school should teach students to focus on the material instead of the grades. The grades should only be a representation of what the students knows and what the students is capable of understands, not how well they can hold their bladder or the amount of printer paper they can take to school.…

    Educational Years and Grade Level

    At Park Elementary, a variety of assessments are used to evaluate the performance of the students. A DIEBELS Assessment is used to evaluate our students’ performance in reading for grades kindergarten thru fourth. The test is administered three times a year including the months of September, January, and May. The teachers analyze and use the results of the DIEBELS testing to place students in three different reading groups during reading instruction. The groups are divided by using a color coding system of red, yellow, and blue. Students are placed in the blue group (mastery) if they are advanced in reading, yellow (strategic) if they are on grade level, and red (intensive) if they are below grade level in reading and need intensive reading instruction. Teachers are required to differentiate instruction during the time that students are divided into the three “flexible” groups. Benchmarks scores, Unit testing scores, and results from LEAP and ILEAP scores are utilized to evaluate the performance in the upper grades. These scores are also used in order to determine group placement and provide differentiated instruction in reading for upper grade levels as well. In addition, differentiated instruction is determined in all grade levels for math by students’ weekly test grades, benchmark scores, and in the upper grade levels, ILEAP and LEAP scores are used to determine placement of students in groups and to provide differentiated instruction. The data from all of the assessment tools are analyzed and used for school improvement by providing us with a guide or map to show us which skills or subjects we are mastering and which skills we need improvement on. It also allows us to analyze our data to determine how we will differentiate instruction to meet the…

Moreover, NBCTs had a positive effect on student achievement school-wide as more NBCTs were added to the school staff.

    Personal Statement: Why I Want To Teach For A High Need School

    Everyone has progressed to where they are in life today because they had a great teacher. According to Webster’s dictionary, a teacher is someone who teaches or gives instruction. This is such a simple definition, but the reality to it is that teaching is so much more complicated and rewarding, especially if you want to make a difference in these children’s lives. Although this statement is true in general, it magnifies much more when you look at the situation in these high need areas that need great teachers. These schools have difficulty retaining teachers.

    Standardized Testing In Elementary Schools Essay

    Recently, in Upper Darby School District, one major issue has been the less than adequate performance scores on standardized testing in the literature area. Most of the elementary schools, and middle schools, have been decreasing in their scores in the reading and language arts content areas on tests like the MAP tests. However, students are exceeding expectations on the math and science portions of the test. When a student starts out elementary school with a poor basis in reading, they are already set behind their peers, no matter what their background. Students need to have their education based on a strong foundation in the language arts area because all other content areas overlap with english and reading.…
