Chapter 11-  Becoming an Effective Teacher

# data[].attributes.body
1) "The more time allocated for a subject, the higher student achievement in that subject is likely to be."
- This is true because nobody will feel rushed and there is time to explain and then practice the subject. Pg 310

# data[].attributes.body
2) "Teacher comments are less disjointed and more fluent. Classroom discussion becomes more logical, thoughtful, and coherent."
- This is important to ask a question with lots of opinion. It is easier for students to participate because no answer is wrong. Pg 321

# data[].attributes.body
3) "In a classroom using cooperative learning, students work on activities in small, heterogeneous groups, and they often receive rewards or recognition based on the overall group performance. "
- I like this form of learning because it brings out everyone's personality hands on. When I become a teacher I will encourage group work the most.

Chapter 10- Curriculum, Standards, Testing

# data[].attributes.body
1) "A majority of students participate in at least one extracurricular activity, with students from smaller schools and with stronger academic records the most likely to be involved."
-  I agree with this quote explaining that students are more involved in school when they are in extra curricular, because in order to play a sport your grades have to be up to par. being an athlete pushes you for good grades. Pg 281

# data[].attributes.body
2) "Given the current emphasis on test scores and academic standards, some people view extracurricular activities as little more than a distraction."
- I do not like this quote because I think of extra curricular activities as  another way to express yourself. Some student are only good with a book in their hand, some students are good at a sport, some students can do both. Pg 281

# data[].attributes.body
3)"Other useful teacher evaluation data might include how class time is used, a nurturing and respectful classroom climate, and the quality of questions asked by both teacher and students. As one researcher put it: “Value-added scores don’t seem to be measuring the quality and content of the work that students are doing in the classroom."
- Evaluating teachers by only student test scores is not an effective way because all students test differently. I am a prime example of being great at participation and getting my work done on time even studying, but when it comes to a test they are extremely difficult for me. Pg 269

# data[].attributes.body
3)"  Another study found that 70 percent of educators think state-mandated assessments are not developmentally appropriate."
- In high school teachers complained often about common core lessons and a lot of my classes emphasized their own way of learning.

Chapter 9- Purposes of America's School and the Current Reform Movement

# data[].attributes.body
1) "Not enough students have internal motivation to learn."
- This is very true and everybody knows the reasoning is social media and high demands. And it only gets harder in college because you go from teachers caring about getting work done to professors who don't keep track of anything. Therefore self motivation is extremely important. Pg 245

# data[].attributes.body
2)"“He sees failure as an opportunity for change,” the teacher said.""
- I enjoyed this example, not because I enjoy seeing people fail, but I like to see someone learn and grow from realizing their mistakes. That's how people improve.  pg 264

Chapter 8- School Wall and Ethics

# data[].attributes.body
1)"Many courts have rejected these cases, pointing out that multiple factors affect learning and that failure to learn cannot be blamed solely on the school system."
- I agree with this quote because I believe there are many reasons in a class that can affect a students learning. Especially the motivation to do the work and actually choose to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
2)" The amendment also requires that school districts inform parents of this right and establish a procedure for providing educational records on request. "
- This is important so parents know what rights they have and how they can check up on their children in school.

# data[].attributes.body
3)"Every student has the right to learn in a school that is safe and equitable"
- I agree with this quote especially since lately safety is extremely important, but never guaranteed. anything can happen, and there have been so many crimes lately. Mostly, school shootings.

Chapter 7- Financing and Governing America's Schools

1) "Rather than sitting by as young lives become focused on consuming, educators can help children connect with healthy alternatives, such as exploring nature, developing creative talents, discovering the joys of community service, and forming authentic relationships." pg 194
- I chose this quote because in a classroom is where I learned how important the small things are. And building relationships with my teachers at a young age was a positive credit to my learning.

# data[].attributes.body
2) "A number of charter schools have extended their school day and their school year as one tangible way to improve student performance." pg 196
- I do not agree with this quote from Chapter 7 because children spend 8 hours of their day in school, in classes. not including extra curricular, so to extend the day would make it difficult for students to spend family time

# data[].attributes.body
3) "Trust is seen every day as teachers work in teams, continually improving their curriculum and each other’s teaching." pg 208
- I like this quote because I believe that teamwork is a great quality and spark for the education system.

Chapter 6- Philosophy of Educati

# data[].attributes.body
1) "This traditional or back-to-basics approach is meant to train the mind, promote reasoning, and ensure a common culture among all Americans."
- Back to Basics teaching style is preferred by lots of students. Basics does train the mind, for lots its a better, easier focus.

# data[].attributes.body
2) "Perennialists organize their schools around books, ideas, and concepts and criticize essentialists for the vast amount of factual information they require students to absorb in their push for “cultural literacy.""
- This approach can be very difficult to students for cant learn by just listening and reading a book. Some students are very hands-on and exampled.  pg157

# data[].attributes.body
3) "Ethics is the study of what is “good” or “bad” in human behavior, thoughts, and feelings. It asks, What is the good life? and How should we treat each other? (What should schools teach children about what is “good” and what is “bad”?)"
- In school is a good example of where proper ethics are taught. Most students are motivated to do good in school and we learn the difference between good and bad our whole lives.

1) "Horace Mann became the nation’s leading advocate for the establishment of a common school  open to all. Today, we know this common school as the public elementary school."
- This is important because public school is attended by a lot of people. It even helps people who don't have much money. He is known as "father of public schools".

# data[].attributes.body
2) "Progressive education includes several components."
-I found this very important because it helped broaden the schools programs. I believe that students learn best when they are being taught something of interest.

# data[].attributes.body
3) "Attending schools without enough books, seats, space, equipment, or facilities taught Page 131African American children the harsh reality of “separate but unequal.""
- I wish the chapter talked more about segregation and steps for education.

Chapter 3-  Teaching Your Diverse Students 

# data[].attributes.body
1)"If we are clever enough, we can make society’s invisible biases visible"
- Bias is prejudice for or against one person, thing, or group usually considered to be unfair. This chapter expresses race in classrooms and what comes to mind when a person hears the word "race". Bias is important to understand and equality is even more important. Pg 56

# data[].attributes.body
3)"Perhaps one path for moving ahead and avoiding yet another culture war is for us to learn balance, to honor ourselves and others, and to celebrate our group and individual differences."
- "we are one" is a very powerful saying. Or, "E Pluribus Unum" meaning, out of many people we are one. Remembering that we are all humans with rights is very important step to keeping our world inline. nobody deserves mistreatment or inequality. Pg 68

# data[].attributes.body
2)" Perhaps the biggest challenge, especially in bilingual programs, is recruiting teachers who themselves are fluent in two languages. And the challenge in finding those bilingual teachers is itself an argument for promoting dual language acquisition in our school."
- This stands out because in college education majors we are required to take 3 to 4 credits in a foreign language. Although this doesn't make a teacher exactly bilingual, this 3 to 4 years still helps promote dual language without being completely clueless. Pg 62

# data[].attributes.body
1)“On-time behavior” is considered one of the most powerful cultural lessons in the school’s hidden curriculum. Throughout the world however, people have a varied sense of time."
- Time management is tool that gives someone complete control over their actions. Time management is very important in the education world. Student should be challenged get to class on time, and be ready to learn. Most classes are. Pg 86

# data[].attributes.body
2)"Studies show that participating in class discussions, getting the opportunity to excel, and feeling that their schoolwork matters makes for an engaging education experience, regardless of the grade or age of students."
- This relates to chapter 1 talking about effective ways to gather students attention. Actively participating in class can help a student engage to his or her fullest. I enjoy classes with many group activities versus only independent work. Group activities and games also help a student memorize better. Pg 87

# data[].attributes.body
3) "Children go to their first-grade teacher not only for this practical information but also for hugs, praise, and general warmth and affection."
- I like this quote and section of this chapter because I am in the education program to teach Elementary. Kids are just so pure, and to be able to be another warm body to them is important to me. Kids should feel comfortable while in the start to their education.

1)"Teaching exceptional learners, from students with disabilities to gifted and talented learners, offers teachers the opportunity to stretch their imagination and creativity."
- Student teachers are encouraged to be great, but being challenged in teaching students who can't exactly achieve the same goals makes you an extraordinary teacher.  This video is an example of a teacher who loves what he is doing because he uses his imagination and creativity to better these students and gain their full attention. Pg 38

# data[].attributes.body
2) One of the first things you need to establish is a simple and effective method of getting your students’ attention. For example, in working with elementary-age children, I experimented with holding up an object.
- It's important to find effective ways in gathering students attention. It makes it harder for the students to learn if they are uninterested. Pg 15

# data[].attributes.body
2) "Many educators believe that students have different learning styles—diverse ways of learning, comprehending, and using information."
- This is true that everyone is different and has different ways of learning. It's very important to understand that one students work ethics can be completely different from another students work ethics. Creating diverse ways to learn can improve the classroom tremendously.  Pg 33

# data[].attributes.body
3) "We have to train kids not just to be smart but to be wise."
- This quote I find very important because to me education isn't just about opening a book and study it until the end. Learning is all different ways of life, reading the book, common sense, and basic things like respect and maturing. Pg 38

1)"Today, there is interest not only in how teachers are prepared, but also which teachers are the most effective." -  This quote is important because knowing what your  profession is important, and if you are prepared it makes it easier for learners around you. Pg 12

3)Tenure, an expectancy of continued employment. Tenure is not an iron-clad guarantee of job security. It does not protect teachers who break the law, are debilitated by alcoholism, or theoretically have become terrible teachers. Tenure is intended to protect teachers from arbitrary and unfair dismissal, like an administrator who disapproves of a teacher’s politics.
- Originally if you are good at what you do then worrying about your position shouldn't be a problem. But if a teacher starts off rough, but love what they are doing, then tenure is important to recognize that your job is protected. Pg4
