For this weeks blog post I had to look at everything we have done this semester and think about what stood out to me in a meaningful. The first thing from this course that will stick with me is Troublemakers by Shalaby. I loved reading it and it really opened my eyes on how important it is to listen to and learn from your students. I also agree heavily with this quote from the reading “Our schools are designed to prepare children to take their assumed place in the social order rather than to question and challenge that order”. I think this quote very much apples to the current times. Another one of the reading that stuck with me is Aria by Richard Rodriguez. This reading was very informative for me because I only speak English and I live in a place where English is the most common language. In my future as a teacher I will be having students who speak spanish, in my placement classroom half of the students speak spanish, so I want to know what will be the best way for me to teach them. This reading has encouraged me to learn at least some Spanish so I can be the best teacher I can. One final thing I liked from this course was when we watched the classroom tour. It was interesting seeing how much effort she put into her classroom. I liked seeing how she added her personality into her room. It also helped me see some practical things that I can maybe incorporate into my future classroom.

Hey Ella, I liked the readings that you chose for your blog post. I also chose Troublemakers by Shalaby. Students shouldn't be treated like prisoners and should be exited to go to school. Schools are making new policies and keeping students in the dark.
ReplyDeleteHey, I agree with you about Aria by Rodriguez and Troublemakers by Shalaby. I believe that these reading were eye opening and that as future teachers we can have a different impact on our students because of it. I think that troublemakers points out how as a teacher we should not just punish the "troublemakers" but to take a minute and see if we can learn and encourage them to fight for what they believe in. Aria makes you realize how as teachers we have a big impact on students life and with that being said we should not be changing who they are but encouraging them to learn but to also be true to themselves.
ReplyDeleteHi Emma! Great job. I agree with Aria by Rodriguez. Aria shows just how much impact we really have both inside and outside of school. We should be open to learning about different cultures and truly letting our students be their true self.
