Tiffany Scoco Dr. Corinne McKamey FNED 346 30 November 2018 Critical teaching for social change By: Ira Shor  “He urged teachers to encourage students to question their experience in school: "You must arouse children's curiosity and make them think about school. For example, it's very important to begin the school year with a discussion of why we go to school. Why does the government force us to go to school? This would set a questioning tone and show the children that you trust them and that they are intelligent enough, at their own level, to investigate and come up with answers." This quote is saying that students should question their experience in school. Teachers should start the school year by discussing why we go to school. In order to gain students trust and have the children investigate and come up with answers to these open ended questions. This relates to the article because the author is talking about how to change the education system in hope...

Tiffany Scoco Dr. Corinne McKamey FNED: 346 21 November 2018 Why Schools need to take another route By: Jeannie Oakes “Tracking leads to substantial differences in the day to day learning experiences students have at school. Moreover, the nature of these differences suggests that students who are placed in high ability groups have access to far richer schooling experiences than other students. This finding helps explain at least in part why it is that tracking sometimes seems to work for high ability students and not for other.” This quote is saying that students who are placed in high ability groups have access to better teachers and they receive a better education. While students in low ability groups have access to mediocre teachers and they receive a mediocre education. This is completely unfair and I don’t think it’s right that some students get better teachers than other simply because they are in the higher ability group. This quote relates to the reading because th...

The Met has a 44% hispanic ethnic background. During my time at The Met I heard several students speaking spanish to one another. I am currently in Spanish 102 so I am able to get bites and pieces of what students are saying to each other. Some students are learning english and have a hard time trying to speak english so they have students who are better english speakers tell the teacher what they want or need. Students make flashcards with vocab words to help them learn english. The Met is very open to all ethnicities, the walls are covered with flags, maps, food and dances of countries around the world.

Tiffany Scoco Dr. Corinne McKamey Fned:346 7 November 2018 Citizenship in school: Reconceptualizing Down Syndrome By Christopher Kliewer “Success in life requires an ability to form relationships with others who make up the web of community. Though many of us have a certain level of control over who we meet and interact with, none of us can come close to claiming complete control. So we must learn to work with others and this holds true whether we ultimately are destined to lead a multinational computer software firm, inspire a civil rights movement, raise caring children, bag groceries, or chat and feed squirrels with an old man on a park bench. We have got to learn to get along as individuals and as citizens.” This quote is saying that in order for us to be successful we need to be able to form relationships with one another. Strong relationships contribute to a longer life, good coping skills and healthier lifestyles. Being able to express yourself as well as your ...

Tiffany Scoco Dr. Corinne McKamey Fned 346 3 November 2018 Response to Alyssa’s Blog The Problem We All Live With- Part One Nikole Hannah-Jones I am doing extended comments on Alyssa’s blog on her quotes from this weeks articles and listening assignments. I think Alyssa made some really good points. I liked the first quote she started with which was “ Maria usually brought home A's but when she got a C Neshia asked the teacher why she had not been notified, the teacher told her that she had to many kids in her class to call all of their parents. Neshia said teachers did not seem to care. Classes were dumbed down, and often unorganized, and everything that seemed to be good news turned into bad news." I agree with what she said it seems to me like the teachers in the Missouri school district do not care about their students. They don’t keep good contact students parents either. As a future teacher I feel that all teachers should care about their students and th...
