Teaching, I believe, is a vocation that should be pursued by those who can help students to not just master required subject matter but develop skills for critical thinking, so that, they in turn, will be able to contribute to and further build on the accumulated body of knowledge in their chosen fields. To successfully achieve the aforesaid objective requires personal commitment; mastery of the subject being taught; originality and creativity; and the ability to make students relate to the subject matter.
Given my own views on 'teaching,' I was naturally pleased to find that the objectives of my course had been carefully structured and defined to meet precisely the above-mentioned requisites. This has been particularly meaningful for me as both a student today, and hopefully, as a teacher of high schools students tomorrow.
The personal importance of successfully achieving the stated goals of the English program led to my reviewing my portfolio with a view to finding examples of work that would demonstrate a wide, but knowledgeable application of the content and skills learnt from the course. From all the pieces reviewed, I found that my work on Moby Dick and The Awakening were best equipped to showcase my abilities.
My work on Moby Dick, I believe, demonstrates an understanding of literary content as well as the development of literary...
The assimilation of literary knowledge shows through in the identification of Melville's use of symbols and allegories as a literary technique in order to espouse a more meaningful sub-text of man's search for his true place in the universe and his relationship with God. The piece also identifies Melville's masterpiece as having been canonized in American and world literature as a great classic given that Moby Dick strikes a perennial chord in the collective human consciousness, dealing as it does, with the theme of man's relationship with God and his fate.
The work on Moby Dick further reveals the recognition and use of critical approaches, as evidenced in the comment on Melville's use of imagery in depicting the divine power of the whale, including the color white to signify a special sanctity. Blended in both the essay and Melville's writing, one sees the delineation of the philosophical context as well. Take, for example, the exploration of the significance of the color white down the ages and across cultures or the allusions to the Bible and the Old Testament.
In Moby Dick, I also found a real effort to research the body of critical literature available on the classic and the use of the same to form, develop and defend the thesis that Melville intended Moby Dick to study man's relationship…
This means that all teachers will be familiar with disability categories instead of specializing in only one or two. Practice teaching is inclusive in practically al degree programs at universities. Degree requirements differ from state to state. Some states require or recommend a masters degree while others have different requirements in educational attainment. There are many states that require teachers of special education to be both generally as well
3.4 Finally, I am interested in whether or not there is a trickle-down effect from leftist or rightist politics style at the provincial and federal levels. 1.3 Objectives 1.3.1 There are two major objectives for this research. The first is to compare the level of motivation among secondary school teachers under the Vancouver British Columbia School District in Canada by their socio-demographic and organizational factors. My hypothesis in advance of investigating this is
Opening up to students is very important for teachers. While it is obviously not appropriate for a teacher to confide intimate personal details to the class, or gossip about others to try to be more accepted, there are ways that a teacher can seem more 'real' to the students. For example, crying over something very sad or letting the students know when the teacher is getting angry with their
Teaching Ethics In the realm of psychology and education, moral education is continuing to be more and more an accepted subject. Several people in the U.S. inclusive of educators involved with education for democratic citizenship are underlining for effectual moral education of the youth because of an overall moral crisis confronting these youths. People are clamoring for announcing a moral crisis in our nation in the wake of media coverage of
Responding to hate crimes Finally, all employees of the Trenton Public School District who become aware in the course of their employment that a student or other staff person has committed a hate crime or is about to commit one are required to immediately inform the principal and chief school administrator. According to the District's Equal Educational Opportunity Policy (File Code 5145.4), "All incidents of hate/bias shall be reported whether they
