I wrote my BTA paper on flexible grouping between students so I am well educated on how different students learn and why it is important to group them based on their different learning levels.

I learned that schools get funds from multiple resources, such as federal, state, and local. It was interesting for me to learn how schools get money, because it is not as simple as schools with more students get more money.

All students do not learn the same way or at the same pace. A teacher shouldn't jump to conclusions about why or why not their students are learning. Oftentimes it can be a teaching issue as opposed to a learning issue.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class!! I learned that every teacher teaches differently, and that every student learns differently. I also really enjoyed reading and learning about the different philosophies, because in the department I'm with, I have to figure out what philosophy I have as a Theatre teacher.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the philosophies of education and spending time figuring out which philosophies and ideals matched with the type of teacher I want to be.
While I already have an idea of the kind of teacher I want to be, learning about the philosophies of education helped me figure out the why behind it.

Over the years, from the beginning of schooling to now, it has progressed over the years. From only allowing white men in schools to now, every child being able to have access to an education. Acts being added over the years like the "No Child Left Behind Act" that has improved that every child no matter who who are or what disability you have, is allowed to the right of an education. Technology in schools have also increased over time, from no technology to some schools having a devise per student.

I knew there were a few books that were looked down upon in schools but I did not know previously that they are undergoing a process to be banned. There were many books on the list that I have read in high school that I enjoyed. I understand why they are looking into banning those specific books in schools, but I personally think they have good messages behind them.

When I signed up to take this course I honestly did not expect I was going to learn this much about American education and its system. I am not anIn education major so I was definitely worried that I was not able to throughly enjoy and learn from the course. In actuality I learned about a lot of material that I never knew existed in the American education system regarding its purpose and philosophies, structure and development, diversity and equity, equal opportunities, and overall improvement. Both of my parents work in the education field along with my older brother and sister, so it was something very interesting to learn about and understand from their perspectives.

EQUALITY IN EDUCATION

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a lot in this class, but the main thing that i will take from it is the use of equity while i teach. I reflected on how i may have gone about some situations and corrected myself. Schooling is so diverse and i will meet so many different kids and they will all learn differently. I want to be able to provide the best education possible to my students and understanding that all students is different is important. I also enoyed the diversity and government sections of schooling and I even think one day i might work my way up to be on government panels to improve education.
