Educational Philosophy When I was younger, all my friends wanted to be teachers. So, I decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher too. As the years went on, I got more serious about actually being a teacher. Many people in my family have been teachers and I always thought it was something I would enjoy. Through being a junior leader in 4-H, I have had the opportunity to work with many young children. Every year at 4-H camp, I come home with a new little brother or sister. When I first wanted to be a teacher, I didn’t really think about what kind of teacher I wanted to be. Through many years of deliberation, deep thought, and exploring my options, I have narrowed down my profession to elementary education. I think that by being an elementary education teacher I will be living a fulfilling and worthwhile life. I feel that I can make a difference and help shape the lives of our youth. It never occurred to me how extensive the teacher’s education program really was until I started taking my first education class. I thought that my love for children and excitement of working with them was all that I needed to be a successful teacher. While I know those are both still very important, I have learned that I also need much more knowledge about children and teaching. Throughout the course of the year, I have learned a lot about the teaching profession, not only through class discussions. I have also learned a great deal through my observation. I always look forward to observing. It is very interesting to actually be out in the field. This year I have learned of the different teaching methods and many philosophies of education. I have decided that for my future classroom, my philosop... ... middle of paper ... ...I will work towards my master’s right after I obtain my bachelor’s degree or if I will instead work through my master’s while I am teaching. These are decisions that I will be better able to make upon graduation from the bachelor’s program at Concord College. That is my eclectic philosophy that I plan to use in my future classroom, as well as my future plans. I feel that each educational philosophy and teaching method has its own importance in today’s society as well as in my future classroom. I am very excited about teaching. And while I know that is still some time from now I am confident that I can use these years of preparation here at Concord to gain the knowledge and experience that I will need to teach my future classroom using my philosophy. My main goal is to be an effective, compassionate, and caring teacher that can make a difference.

    War holds the approximate greatness of a black hole, and is alike one in many ways. From times immemorial writers have used imagery, language appealing to one or more of the 5 senses, irony, things that go against what is expected, and structure, the way the story is written, to protest war. This form of protest has most likely existed since any point in which the existence of both war and written language intersected, and were a part of human life. Through the use of imagery, irony and structure, writers protest war.

    Some cases cannot be solved without this evidence. “Physical evidence refers to any item that comes from a nonliving origin, such as fingerprints, tire marks, footprints, fibers, paint, and building materials” (“PE”). There is also another group called biological evidence. Biological evidence branches from a living thing, including bloodstains and DNA. Forensic scientists place their evidence into categories including these. “Forensic science is the use of scientific principles and methods to analyze material connected with a crime” (Funkhouser). When a crime is committed, law enforcement officers tape off the scene as quickly as possible (Funkhouser). They then search the area for evidence (Funkhouser). Forensic scientists rarely actually go to the crime scene (Funkhouser). Once all the evidence is gathered from the site, it is then cautiously transported to the crime lab to be analyzed (Funkhouser). Everything about a crime scene is taken very seriously. It is a very tedious process, which takes patience and

    As far back as 1832, James Marsh was the first to use forensics at trial to give evidence as a chemist in 1832. Since that time forensic science and evidence has come a long way in various ways and technology to help in determine if the suspect is guilt or not, through such things as DNA testing, blood, and fingerprints. The first forensic police crime lab was created in 1910. The contributions of Dr. Edmond Locard, a French scientist and criminologist, proposed that “everything leaves a trace”. This principle is still valid today as it was so many years ago. No matter how small, the specialized trained technicians and investigators can take these methods and go to a crime scene to get evidence. “Forensic science is the application of sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and engineering to matters of law.” (Office of Justice, 2017) These different sciences can help achieve and assist in solving a case. Forensic science has also the ability to prove that a crime was committed, it can find the elements of the crime, it can help place the suspect at the scene and whether the suspect had any contact with the victim. However, in the last several years the techniques and with the use of technology the evidence that forensic science uncovers can also exonerate an innocent individual who has been falsely accused of the

    At the beginning of the Twenty-First century we are experiencing an informational revolution. The whole business world is changing as a result of new technology, including new ways of entering data into computer systems. Gone are the days of spending long hours in front of a computer typing word processing documents and emails or punching numbers into a phone. Voice recognitions systems are at the forefront of data-entry technology. Through voice recognition systems and voice interfaces, users can input data into a computer, retrieve data from a computer, and direct the processing of computers simply by speaking a few simple commands. The systems then use speech synthesis, or the computerized deconstruction of words based on common language patterns, to encode and decode the instructions before routing them to the computers. Telephony systems are one type of voice recognition system that incorporate the telephone as some part of the system (voicewizard.com). The dawn of the voice recognition systems era promises to make life easier for users in the future.

  • Making a Difference as a Teacher

    I have not always wanted to be a teacher. I always knew that I wanted to work with children in some way, but I was pretty sure that teaching was not for me. I was well on my way in my junior year of college working toward a biology degree so that I could become a pediatric physician’s assistant. I still cannot explain what happened, but one week I was a biology major, and the next I knew that I have always been meant to teach children. I suppose I just took the longer route to get there than most people do. The two main reasons that I have chosen to become a teacher is that I believe that teaching is extremely personally rewarding in many ways and the fact that I can actively make a difference in someone’s life.
