Reflection#3
After reading this article, I believe in inclusion, because it gives the students something to look up to. If it is a least restrictive environment, then the student has every right to be in the classroom. To address the need of all students, there should be accommodations as well as modifications not just in the classroom. For an example, the government should provide more funds for the schools that are at the bottom 5%.If the law expects teachers to increase their qualifications, so should the funds. The government should have the certain students who are at the bottom 5% have their own score criteria. If students have improved more than 40%, they should be able to pass. Creating more charter schools will help students have higher achievement scores. This semester, I will strive for inclusion, because there is always a way to make things better in schools. Make every second count in class. No free time unless every can pass a pop quiz. Have students write letters to the board of education to raise funds. I can also have contest on who can bring the most Kellogg’s box tops to school to earn funds. I can evaluate other schools information in the district to see where we need more help in and some strategies to keep. Report cards are good to have, because it shows students how far they have to go to reach their goal. I can have students assisting each other with tasks. Increasing their appreciation of helping one another can help them want to get better in their education.

Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI concure with your passion towards inclusion. I also agree that the government should also take additional strides to continue inclusion and help reinforce the No Child Left Behind act. Being able to modify and adapt lessons as a teacher is a valuable skill to have and I have no doubt that you will make great strides and accumulate much success in your future as a teacher.
I like your idea of making every second count. I've known teachers that give free time a lot, and they are wasting ample time with the students to go over things they still don't get.
ReplyDeleteI also like the idea of making every second count. I try and give my students projects that last throughout the unit that way they can work on them when they finish their regular work.
ReplyDeleteIn my classroom we don't waste anytime. So I think utilizing every second is crucial for the class period. I also agree in inclusion
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with the sentiment of the government providing more funds for the bottom 5% of schools. This should really help. I also agree that no second should be wasted in the classroom as there is not enough time as it is. Good job!
