" Teachers must manage more than many major transitions every day. During these transitions, discipline problems occur twice as often as in regular classroom instruction."
Why I chose this quote:
I have seen this so much throughout my school years. Everytime there is a transition people tend to start their own side conversations. This takes a real effective teacher to get the children back to the next activity at hand. This is also something I could improve on in my teaching.

" Allocated time is the time a teacher schedules for a subject—for example, 30 minutes a day for math. The more time allocated for a subject, the higher student achievement in that subject is likely to be."
Why I chose this quote:
I chose this because this sticks out to me personally. This is something I need to improve upon to become an effective teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
" Some individuals are naturally gifted teachers. Their classrooms are dazzlingly alive. Students are motivated and excited, and their enthusiasm translates into academic achievement. For these truly talented educators, teaching seems to be pure art or magic. But behind even the most brilliant teaching performance, there is usually well-practiced skill at work."
Why I chose this quote:
I personally believe that teaching is a little of both but leans more towards being born with it rather than just being able to be taught everything.

" Proponents of core knowledge, argue for a common set of such books, a course of study for all students, one that ensures that all educated people know the same basic cultural information.
Why I chose this quote:
I think this is important. People should come out of schools with the same basic knowledge needed to "survive" for post school life.

" High school seniors involved in school activities are less likely to cut class, three times as likely to have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, and more likely to attend college when compared to students not involved in school activities."
Why I chose this quote:
Extracurricular activities are said right here to help improve academic achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
" Involvement in extracurricular activities reduces behavior problems and increases students’ sense of belonging and academic engagement while also teaching lessons in leadership, teamwork, persistence, diligence, and fair play."
Why I chose this quote:
I believe extracurricular activities are some of the most important components to school. These can teach you things that cannot be taught in a classroom.

" Our students need to rank first in the world on international tests of science, math, and technology. U.S. students currently rank lower than too many other countries, and we certainly do not want to fall behind rapidly emerging economies like China and India. Being the best country on earth means being a world leader on international tests."
Why I chose this quote:
I do not agree with this. Our students in the U.S. would outrank all of these students in social science classes. Our students have a larger ability to be social individuals rather than school "robots".

# data[].attributes.body
" Not enough students have internal motivation to learn. We need to create self-directed students and citizens. We can’t predict what tomorrow will demand, so to maintain our creativity, innovation and inventiveness, schools need emphasize curiosity over learning a fixed body of information."
Why I chose this quote:
I have seen this so many times. Individuals do not have the motivation to learn and will only learn what they wish to. We should offer a larger variety of classes to suit these needs.

# data[].attributes.body
" We need to make sure every student learns to master math, and to speak, read, and write English proficiently. Let’s return to tradition, rather than continue the waves of disruptive and unproven reform. "
Why I chose this quote:
I could see that many students could improve in  reading and writing but I don't necessarily agree that is the main focus for students.

" Some teachers use social media tools to improve class discussions, build rapport, answer questions about class assignments, and keep students informed about school activities. Teachers report that by connecting with students through social networking, they often discover interests or hobbies that help them engage kids in the classroom, positively affecting academic performance.
Why I chose this quote:
I chose this because although smart phones can be used to cheat they can also be very beneficial when regulated in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
" That does not excuse cheating; it means looking within and beyond schools to remedy the problem. Cheating in school has become easier; cell phones and smart watches, along with other sophisticated (and tiny) gadgets, are today’s cheat sheets, and the World Wide Web is a powerful temptation at home. "
Why I chose this quote:
I chose this quote because it shows that teachers need to be more on top of phone use in the classroom

" For women these were critical factors in being offered a job, and the “right” answer was: “No, I am not going to get married or have children.” For male candidates, the question was less important and rarely asked."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote just represents how far we have come as a society in representing women in a short amount of time.

" Finland focused on teachers. First, teacher education was revamped and turned into a five-year program of study, research, and practice. Finnish teachers were prepared to work with all students with learning disabilities and given more time to study their subject fields; when they completed their preparation, they received a master’s degree. "
Why I chose this quote:
This shows how much preparation is actually needed to be an effective educator. I believe New York does this well and seems to follow the criteria Finland does as well.

# data[].attributes.body
" We believe that teachers should be major participants in financial and governance policy decisions. The recent trend toward testing teachers and rating schools is an example of what happens when teachers are left out of policy circles."
Why I chose this quote:
This is a perfect example of leaving out the individuals who know best. It does not make sense to me to leave out educators when making these decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
" Teachers and students find themselves the victims of rising educational expectations but limited educational resources. "
Why I chose this quote:
Education has continually been set aside as a side thought for government funding. Yet, it is one of the most important aspects to society.

" As in an essentialist classroom, students in a perennialist classroom spend considerable time and energy mastering the three “Rs,” reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic. "
Why I chose this quote:
These are definitely very essential to a students learning however there is much more to widen a students intelligence and ability.

# data[].attributes.body
" Essentialism strives to teach students the accumulated knowledge of our civilization through core courses in the traditional academic disciplines. Essentialists aim to instill students with the “essentials” of academic knowledge, patriotism, and character development. This traditional or back-to-basics."

Why I chose this quote:
I am not a huge fan of essentialism. I believe the student at a certain point should chose their own classes they wish to take to further better themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
" Traditionally, teacher-centered philosophies emphasize the importance of transferring knowledge, information, and skills from the older (presumably wiser) generation to the younger one."
Why I chose this quote:
I believe this philosophy to be true but I also believe the students can always teach us instructors valuable lessons as well.

# data[].attributes.body
" Location greatly influenced educational opportunities. The northern colonies were settled by Puritans, who lived in towns and communities relatively close to one another. Their religious fervor and proximity made the creation of community schools dedicated to teaching the Bible a predictable development."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote is still relevant today which is not good. Location can have a huge impact on the education you receive.

# data[].attributes.body
" In Christopher Lamb’s time, school was meant to save souls. Education provided a path to heaven, and reading, writing, and moral development all revolved around the Bible."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote is interesting as it shows how public education was originally to teach religion.

# data[].attributes.body
" Understanding the history of America’s schools offers students perspective—a sense of their place in education. In a very real way, today’s classrooms are living tributes to past achievements and sacrifices."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote kind of shows how far we have come and sets the standard letting us know education has gotten so much better through the years.

"One of the functions that keeps teachers busiest is what researchers term gatekeeping. As gatekeepers, teachers must determine who will talk, when, and for how long, as well as the basic direction of the communication."
Why I chose this quote:
Having the power to influence and pick and choose who talks in the classroom is important to understand. Everything you say and do as a teacher is watched by your students.

# data[].attributes.body
" A majority of elementary school students—almost eight in ten—feel engaged by classroom life. By middle school that number drops to six in ten students. And when students enter high school, it plummets to four in ten."
Why I chose this quote:
I believe students become so uninterested from learning by high school because instruction really does not change that much throughout every year of school. It then just becomes old and habitual.

# data[].attributes.body
" Are you surprised to learn that between one-quarter and one-half of time available for learning is lost to attendance problems, non-instructional activities (such as class changes and assemblies), administrative and organizational activities, and behavioral disruptions? "
Why I chose this quote:
This is interesting to see how easily time is lost for teaching. However, I believe the children needs breaks such as these.

" Bilingual education advocates counter this by arguing that the United States is a mosaic of diverse cultures, that diversity should be honored and nurtured, and that mastery of several languages will pay economic dividends for our country in the competitive global economy. Bilingual advocates believe the English-only movement promotes intolerance."
Why I chose this quote:
I strongly agree with the bilingual advocates. It is important to provide these children their proper education and preserve their culture.

# data[].attributes.body
" As these non-English-speaking students enter schools, most will need to make sense of a new language, a new culture, and possibly new ways of interacting with teachers and classmates."
Why I chose this quote:
This shows that teachers (especially in this era) have to go out of their way to provide extra instruction to children from different countries. It is essential we implement this into the curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
" The problem: rapid English immersion has failed many students. So Congress responded with the Bilingual Education Act in 1968, providing financial incentives, what some people call “a carrot approach,” to encourage schools to initiate bilingual education programs. Some schools resisted, and disillusioned parents initiated lawsuits."
Why I chose this quote:
This just shows how ignorant some people can be. Nowadays I believe it is crucial to be bilingual.

"Which view you hold about intelligence affects how you go about learning. On difficult tasks, students who believe intelligence is fixed give up more quickly, blaming their intelligence (or lack of) for their failure. But on those."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote expresses why we should encourage our children. If we view them as someone who will grow intellectually they will.

# data[].attributes.body
- " Today, we know that one’s environment and well-being can greatly affect intellectual development."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote shows how far we have come and have realized that how an individual is raised can greatly impact their capacity to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
- " Cognitive (information processing). Individuals have different ways of perceiving, organizing, retaining, and using information, all components of the cognitive domain. Some students prefer to learn by reading and looking at material (visual learners). Others need to listen and hear information spoken aloud (auditory learners). Still others learn best using body movement, touch, and hands-on participation (kinesthetic/tactile learners). Some students are quick to respond; others are slower,

Why I chose this quote:
This shows you that not everyone learns the same way and there are different approaches to teaching. Just because you do not understand something does not mean you are not intelligent

- "Americans value a comprehensive education, one in which students are involved in a wide array of activities, from theater to sports to community service. The U.S. public typically values spontaneity, social responsibility, and independence in their children, values that are not assessed in international tests."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote is awesome because people tend to talk down on U.S. education because we have lower scores in math or science. However, individuals do not realize that U.S. students succeed in other areas such as having strong social ability.

# data[].attributes.body
- "Public education is being attacked on ideological grounds by those who argue that the private sector is superior to the public sector. Anti–public school forces, often with big advertising budgets, demand that taxpayer money be used to support private, religious, charter, and for-profit schools. As a result, public schools have seen their budgets decrease. Students are now attending private and religious schools paid by taxpayer dollars. Yet despite all the clamor, few realize that test performance of these students at these private schools is no better, and often worse, than the local public schools."
Why I chose this quote:
This stuck with me because I went to a public school. Mostly all of my neighbors went to private schools because they are "better". However, I saw so many successful students come out of my high school and did not realize a decline in knowledge at all just because we were public education

# data[].attributes.body
- " When you become a teacher, many people will accord you respect, because they admire teachers. You will be someone whose specialized training and skills are used to benefit others."
Why I chose this quote:
This quote is significant to me because a lot of people frown on the teaching profession because it is hard to find a job and does not pay the best. I however, know that teaching is the profession for me and know that teachers are respected by those who understand what they do for the world.
