1. "Structure. The teacher provides information, provides direction, and introduces the topics. Question. The teacher asks a question. Respond. The student answers the question, or tries to. React. The teacher reacts to the student’s answer and provides feedback."
2."Good questioning is at the very core of good teaching."
3. "deep teaching highlights the social nature of learning "
-We shouldn't just leave at 3:30 when the school day is over because that shows the students that we don't want to be there. As teachers we need to make programs and address the "wants" and "needs" of the students. We all want to connect to our students in the classroom but it is also important to do so outside of the classroom.

Christopher Emdin: Teach teachers how to create magic

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
What do rap shows, barbershop banter and Sunday services have in common? As Christopher Emdin says, they all hold the secret magic to enthrall and teach at the same time - and it's a skill we often don't teach to educators. A longtime teacher himself, now a science advocate and cofounder of Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S.

1."Let’s face it, some of the most powerful curricular lessons taught in school are not to be found in the formal curriculum at all. This “invisible curriculum” has two parts, and by describing each we hope to make it more visible for you. "
-No matter what kind of curriculum we need to remember to make sure our students learn the best from it.

2. "Implicit or hidden curriculum

What students learn, other than academic content, from what they do or are expected to do in school; incidental learning."

3."The curriculum has gone through dramatic changes over the course of time. The first two PowerPoints in this chapter offer an overview of how the curriculum has changed over the two centuries of our nation’s history. If the students are intrigued by one or more of these periods, they can research that time in greater detail—and perhaps report their findings to the class."

1."It doesn’t matter how many bills and how many policies you lay down from on high—when it comes right down to it, the individual school has an incredible capacity for rejecting it passively or taking it on and doing something about it.”
2. "Reformers want to expand public school options for parents and children, and promote a specific approach, such as student-centered learning. "
-We need more student-centered learning, instead of always cramping curriculum.
3. "Chartering schools is not education reform; it’s merely a change in governance. … Remaining children face the prospects of larger class sizes and cuts in core academic programming, music, art, and other inequities. When a local charter fails, the local system picks up the children"

1."Today, parents sue teachers."
-I feel like in our day in age things can always be taken the wrong way. Even if we give the student every optimal way to thrive. Our words still don't matter.
2."Court decisions regarding the personal lifestyles of teachers differ from state to state."
-Its education it should all be the same.
3."The problem is, most teens admit they cheat. Why this troubling disconnect? Students blame pressure to perform, the competitive college-admissions process, and apathy toward schoolwork. Adult role models demonstrate similar hypocrisies. For instance, individual teachers and entire school districts have been caught falsifying standardized test scores. From politicians and preachers to athletes and celebrities, students can see many examples of a less-than-honest culture."
-This is why I think it's so important for teachers to be good role models for their students. While also making their lessons connectable to all students.

1."teacher-centered philosophies emphasize the importance of transferring knowledge, information, and skills from the older (presumably wiser) generation to the younger one."
2. "Progressivism organizes schools around the concerns, curiosity, and real-world experiences of students. The progressive teacher facilitates learning by helping students formulate meaningful questions and devise strategies to answer those questions."
3. "Social reconstructionism encourages schools, teachers, and students to focus their studies and energies on alleviating pervasive social inequities and, as the name implies, reconstruct society into a new and more just social order. "
-We need classrooms that focus on the eagerness of learning. while also excepting everyone, and their learning abilities.

1."In 1974, the Supreme Court heard the case of Lau v. Nichols. This class action lawsuit centered on Kinney Lau and 1,800 other Chinese students from the San Francisco area who were failing their courses because they could not understand English. The Court unanimously affirmed that federally funded schools must “rectify the language deficiency” of students."
-This law is still very crustal within our society and teaching society.
2."English as a Second Language (ESL) supplements immersion programs by providing special pullout classes for additional instruction in reading and writing English. The goal is to assimilate learners into the English language as quickly as possible. ESL instruction may work well for students highly motivated to be part of a mainstreamed English-only classroom"
3." The argument for deficit theory is that certain students do poorly in school because they suffer some sort of deficit: cultural, social, economic, academic, linguistic, or even genetic. "

1. " Constructivism asserts that knowledge cannot be handed from one person to another (from a teacher to a learner) but must be constructed by each learner through interpreting and reinterpreting a constant flow of information."
-Teachers need to have constructionist  in order to promote optimal learning.
2. "Many teachers feel that the satisfaction they realize inside the classroom is too often jeopardized by forces beyond the classroom: politicians mandating numerous standardized tests, demanding parents offering little support, and textbook publishers or state officials deciding what should be taught and what topics are off-limits to teachers."
-The job alone is very stressful and teachers subjected to more than what they need to do.
3. "Are teachers professionals? Are they treated like professionals? What does it take to be a professional, anyway? Educating a Profession, a publication of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE), lists twelve criteria for a profession."
-I feel as though teachers are under - appreciated and not seen for the professional that they are.

1."Early colonial education, both in New England and in other colonies, often began in the home. (Today’s homeschooling movement is not a new approach.) The family was the major educational resource for youngsters, and the first lessons typically focused on reading. Values, manners, social graces, and even vocational skills were taught by parents and grandparents."
-We should be honoring diversity and present it within our "classroom community".
2."In 1824, the federal government established the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and began placing whole tribes of Native peoples on reservations. The BIA continued to use education as a tool of cultural conquest. Indian reservations saw more white superintendents, farm agents, teachers, inspectors, and missionaries. Indian boarding schools were established to assimilate young Native Americans into the dominant European American values: veneration of property, individual competition, European-style domesticity, toil, and European standards of dress. Many Native Americans refused to send their children to reservation schools. Arrest and kidnapping were common practices in forcing Native American children to attend."
3."During the last half of the nineteenth century, the nation moved from agrarian to industrial, from mostly rural to urban, and people viewed the elementary school as inadequate to meet the needs of a more sophisticated and industrialized society. More parents viewed the high school as an important stepping stone to better jobs."

1."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."
2. "We have become a nation that places a lower priority on teaching its children how to thrive socially, intellectually, even spiritually, than it does on training them to consume. The long-term consequences of this development are ominous."
3. "Today’s children spend a trillion consumer dollars annually. Their allowances, their paychecks, and the influence they exert on parents’ spending make them prime targets for advertisers."
-Its awful sad that we target children as consumers instead of focusing on things that will benefit the child.

1."Ironically, although a major goal of education is to increase students’ curiosity and quest for knowledge, it is teachers, not students, who most often dominate and manage classroom interaction(see A Closer Look: Patterns of the Classroom)."
2."Students are expected to be quiet and passive, to think quickly (and perhaps superficially), to rely on memory, and to be dependent on the teacher. Not surprisingly, silent, disengaged students have less positive attitudes and lower achievement. 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."
3."Our understanding of how nature and nurture influences gender roles is changing."
-As society changes so should we. We need to recognize change and be able to honor it within our class.

1."I just want to be a regular kid and not stick out so much all the time."
2."I get taken advantage of. People ask to be my partner or work with me on a paper and I am stuck doing all the work. The only thing they do is make sure their name is on my paper or project. But I’m never asked to sit with them at lunch or hang out after school."
-Gifted and Talented students are always used as another teacher figure instead of being seen as a student.
3."Another educational transformation is the increasing numbers of schoolchildren now identified as learners with exceptionalism—students with learning, physical, developmental, and emotional/behavioral disabilities—all of whom deserve appropriate educational strategies and materials. Students with gifts and talents represent another population with special needs too often lost in the current educational system."
