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]]> 2018-10-22 18:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295627803 mathewsa01 https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295629071 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.

- 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]]> 2018-10-22 18:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295640927 mathewsa01 https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295753677 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]]> 2018-10-23 01:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295753677 mathewsa01 https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295754191 3) "We have to train kids not just to be smart but to be wise."

- 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".

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]]> 2018-10-23 02:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295759564 mathewsa01 https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295759601 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]]> 2018-10-23 02:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295759601 mathewsa01 https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295767543 2018-10-23 02:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295767543 mathewsa01 https://padlet.com/mathewsa01/u2q5085hvpfx/wish/295767570 1)“On-time behavior” is considered one of the most powerful cultural lessons in the school’s hidden curriculum.

- 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
