I am quite aware that the standards of ethical conduct represent the highest ideals of the education profession and adhering to these standards is an obligatory component to guarantee the carefulness of students, the respect of our community, and the honor of our profession. I have respected the child’s right to get a good education. I have worked to provide my students with a safe environment that invite the common reflection. In doing so, I will be walking toward one of my greatest goals as a teacher: make that each student achieves his or her full potential in the physical, emotional, social and intellectual areas. Using praises I improved class climate through incentives and rewards. I clearly communicated how diversity will be valued in the class. I provided activities which bring together different experiences, strategies, and perspectives. I respected all students as individuals with culturally defined identities and recognized students have a right to a variety of educational experiences that help them make informed. I let students know how they can contact me to express their concerns regarding the classroom climate, invited students to bring in culturally relevant texts (e.g., songs, self-written poetry), and asked them to create a glossary for difficult-to-understand language. When appropriate, I initiated discussion on being bi-lingual/cultural. I will also bring in texts relevant to the lives of

    Overall my classroom observation hours went pretty well, and I focused on trying to receive eight hours in SPED classes, and the other eight in classrooms that participated in inclusion this semester. I wasn 't able to follow through with my plan. I was missing two hours of observation, and with the insane weather it became more difficult to schedule anything in a regular school setting so I turned to daycare.

    I reported that my school was guilty of “‘fairyland’ multicultural education” (Nieto & Bode, 2008, p. 2). We hold dinners, culture days, and special programs to bring awareness to different cultures, but we don’t go any further than that. This course has given me countless tools that can be used to make my school and classroom better for students. The school that I teach at has a high percentage of students who live below the poverty line and who speak English as a second language. Countless research has been done about students in both categories. Students who live below the poverty line tend to do worse than students at a wealthy school (Bainbridge & Lasley, 2002). This understanding about students living in poverty should drive instruction in the classroom. As a teacher, it is my job to inform and discuss with my colleagues strategies for better educating these students. Most importantly, there must be a belief that these and all students can learn if teacher use various teaching strategies (Bainbridge & Lasley, 2002). This understanding about students living in poverty should drive the efforts at my

    As the diversity in classroom progresses, there are always tensions between students, which reflect on teachers. Educating students from different cultures puts teacher in a position where it is essential to perceive ways in order to make a classroom safe and strip away all of the stereotypes students deal on daily basis. Teachers have to recognize those stereotypes, and overcome them between students, “by examining their own roles in the perpetuation of institutional racism” (Kendall, 1996, p.4). Once succeeded, with the result of harmonized classroom, teacher and students will explore a new space full of fun activities and learnings.

  • The Importance Of Internship

    It is very important to me that my students, their parents, other teachers, administrators, and people in the community can depend on me. I want them to know that I am someone they can easily approach, someone who cares, someone who is knowledgeable, and someone who will help them. I will create a classroom that is a safe learning environment for all. During my internship, my mentor used the acronym “THINK” to remind students to think if their statement is true, helpful, important, necessary, and kind. I absolutely love this because it encourages students to be accountable for their actions. I believe that it is necessary for students to know what is and isn’t appropriate. In order to foster a sense of belonging with the families and community, I will encourage families to be very active in their students’ learning. I plan on having many experts from the community come in and share with the students whenever possible. I will also work one-on-one with my colleagues in order to be a stronger teacher. My future classroom, will be one that is open, inviting, resourceful, and most of all safe! The environment is such a vital aspect of having a flourishing learning
