Reflection On A Transfer Student To Fayetteville State University

Decent Essays
I am a transfer student to Fayetteville State University. I attended a Troops to Teacher briefing and the presenter from FSU SOE was so passionately inspiring about education. She represented this historical school in such a way that I wanted to know more. After visiting the campus and speaking with staff, I knew FSU SOE was the right fit for me.

By the end of this course, I hope to have acquired additional skills and strategies of how to effectively impact my community. By better understanding how every unit of a child's life intertwines with their educational success.

    Since attending Spelman College, I have evolved as a person mentally and socially, especially in my efforts regarding volunteering and the production of social change. Before attending Spelman and joining Lady Buds, a mentoring program for young underprivileged girls, I understood to a degree, how social change impacts people and their communities. However, after being a part of Lady Buds, my understanding of social change vastly increased, specifically how it affects the communities within Atlanta and on a larger scale our society. Upon entering Spelman college, I knew I wanted to be involved with a mentoring group, and while there was a multitude of groups to choose from, I decided on Lady Buds because their mission statement resonated with my goal before entering Spelman College.…

    It also made me appreciate organizations like Communities in Schools that provide for the needs of children that are outside of the classroom, but that nonetheless impact their classroom behavior. If children are stressed out about their home life or financial situation or if they are hungry and malnourished they suffer for it in the classroom. For these reasons, it is important to address each child’s situation case by case and to try to get a better understanding of how outside circumstances influence…

    In my role as the Bilingual Outreach Coordinator for San Benito County, I’m tasked with the responsibility to recruit, train, and retain an active high school poll worker database (over 150). The database is used to employ poll workers, surveyors, interpreters, and outreach volunteers. Unfortunately, there is not enough known about best practices in this area, and there is no uniformity throughout the programs. Often outreach work consists of trial and error. I’ve found over the past years that long-term relationship building with community-based organizations is the most effective approach.…

She worked at Polk Community College as their lunch lady and I never had much; including my own bed. Still, I was never unhappy.…

    I seek to make a change in this world that ripples beyond my immediate circle. Often individuals, particularly students, are told that this world is a cruel place and they must learn to withstand it. My hope as a future educator is to teach students that the world is not a place to be withstood; that is not their purpose: they are here to make the world a little less cruel. Perhaps I could do this within my personal relationships but, as a Christian, I am called to go out into the world and share the gospel. The gospel is overflowing with sacrificial love and I hope my career mirrors the love I have received from Christ.…

    Active Learning Essay

    Introduction Students do not learn much by just sitting behind a desk listening to their teacher, memorising information and reproducing it. Children must be engaged in what they are learning by talking about it in the classroom, writing about what they have learnt and may be able to relate it to their past experience or apply it to the daily lives. It is important that children take what they have learnt in the classroom along with them in their day to day living. This chapter will outline the importance of the child being active in their educational setting to develop the child holistically in primary schools. Many theorists such as Maria Montessori and Vygotsky’s state that they child should be active learners and be at the center of their learning from an early age.…

    Equally important, are my career goals and the contributions I hope to make after I complete the program. I plan to be an educator, trainer, and leader in a not for profit, NGO or organization that facilitates education globally. Also, I plan to use my knowledge from the program to integrate learning with computing environments to create more interactive learning systems. Furthermore, I plan to be involved in opportunities that cater to the underserved, such as learners with disabilities, those with language barriers and older adults that are underproductive because of their limited skills. ELearning drives socio-economic progress by providing opportunities for where and when one can learn, and continue to smooth out inequalities imposed by birth and other…
