Many watched Caitlyn Jenner with admiration and awe at her courage. Us Weekly, July 16, 2015 reported that not everyone was happy with the Caitlyn Jenner moment. Jessica Steindorff, the driver of the Prius was a guest at the Arthur Ashe Award ceremony and watched as Caitlyn won the prestigious award. However, Jessica cannot understand how anyone can honor a person who took a life and injured others in a car accident. She credits Caitlyn to being a “positive role model,” but she slams her for not taking responsibility for the accident that happened on February 7.…
While I read this book or The Active Life, I agree with Palmer statement when he have believed that this reality is “deep stuff” because it is more complicated and varied than a cursory inspection may lead us to believe. With Annie Dillard, we believe we must “ride these monsters deeper down,” and there find the bedrock reality (Palmer. 30). Also, the active life book helped me to realize about the stability of my life between contemplation and action, so this book is really good, and enjoyable to me, and I could highly suggest this book to people who interested thinking about their life between action and contemplation.…

The book Lives on the Boundary, written by Mike Rose, provides great insight to what the new teaching professional may anticipate in the classroom. This book may be used to inform a teacher 's philosophy and may render the teacher more effective. Lives on the Boundary is a first person account composed of eight chapters each of which treat a different obstacle faced by Mike Rose in his years as a student and as an educator. More specifically in chapters one through five Mike Rose focuses on his own personal struggles and achievements as a student. Ultimately the aim is to highlight the underpreparedness of some of today 's learners.…
Patience is also an important quality to have when striving to be an outstanding educator. Patience needs to be combined with an open-mindedness to see things from more than one point of view. Patience is crucial when dealing with children and adults because everyone has differing backgrounds and experiences on which to draw from and base their opinions on. Situations often require patience and an open-mindedness to find a resolution and to work…
The author of this report who conducted the interview, asked Ms. Newman about her point of view specially, because every instructor has a different view point on how well they know their students if they are motivated or not. To demonstrate, Ms. Ann Newman states that, “ knowing if a student is motivated is by the look on their face, and showing up to class shows their desire to learn. if the students do not do their assignments, and constantly do not read what I have sent them clearly indicates the lack of motivation they possess.” Hence, “There are three things to remember about education. The first one is motivation. The second is motivation. The third one is motivation.” – Terell H. Bell (Ames, 1990)…

As every teacher goes into the workplace, first year, or twenty-fifth, and despite any subconscious fear you might possess of the hideous class you might be challenged to educate, there is always a certain comfort in knowing that, regardless the case, you have the support of your administration to uphold most any rational expectation you place on your students. As the school year drew near, I’m sure this was the case even for Madame Esme, as she seemed eager to start her first year of teaching. She set her expectations high in all aspects and from day one seemed determined to see her students achieve accordingly. She maintained her ideals throughout the year, though, it becomes more evident that her superiors might not share such idealistic values. No case more true than is seen on May 4th. After trying to reach a male student, B.B., who seems to be having behavioral problems related to his home life, Esme finds herself separating her student from a “big pounding fight on the playground” (Codell,…
Thirdly, is the patience you need to have in order to work with inconsiderate students. You have or have this to be a successful teacher, like me I don’t have any patience at all.…
It is not often that I actually read a book that is prescribed by a teacher, but when I get the vibe that the teacher is there to show us more than just a science; I listen up. Sitting through the first class, knowing that BADM 772 was going to teach me both in education and more importantly, life lessons, I began to read. Selecting three chapters from the book, Bringing Out the Best in People, written by Alan Loy McGinnis, I read without falling asleep. For the first time in a long time, I agreed with everything that the author had written. This book gives pointers on how to “bring out the best” and does it in a way that keeps you interested, by telling stories and giving examples. I chose the three chapters carefully. I will now detail through experiences and thoughts about “The Psychology of Motivation”, “When to Praise and When to Reprimand”, and “How to Get People to Cooperate with Each Other.”…
Some students seem naturally enthusiastic about learning, but many need-or expect-their instructors to inspire, challenge, and stimulate them: "Effective learning in the classroom depends on the teacher's ability to maintain the interest in the first place". Whatever level of motivation the students bring to the classroom will be transformed, for better or worse, by what happens in that classroom. Unfortunately, there is no single magical formula for motivating students. Many factors affect a given student's motivation to work and to learn: interest in the subject matter, perception of its usefulness, general desire to achieve, self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as patience and persistence. And, of course, the same value, needs, desires, or wants motivate not all students. Some students will be motivated by the approval of others, some by overcoming challenges. Researchers have begun to identify those aspects of the teaching situation that enhance students' self-motivation To encourage students to become self-motivated independent learners, instructors can do the following:…
Regarding commitment and passion, this awareness arouse after one of my placements, where I saw the grim attitude and non-existent passion of a teacher. The teachers’ role was absent and it affected every aspect of that classroom, which had a ripple effect. From children being excluded, to children being screamed at, to parents being lied to, it was one of the most heartbreaking yet eye-opening things I had ever experienced. Being able to witness such behaviour has allowed made me understand the significance of steadfastness in the education industry. I was made more aware of this matter through social media videos and the news, where certain teachers have no flexibility or interest in the students’ learning. Committed and passionate teachers recognize their role in society and understand the many responsibilities they have. While those teachers who lack these skills are setting up those children for failure and are choosing to reuse lessons, rather than adjusting them for the new students. Passionate teachers motivate children to be active and positive member in the community. Those teachers make their classroom into a haven of knowledge and strive each day to bring out the best in their pupils.…
