Importance of Education Essay

individual success as an adult, the traditional subjects of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies are relatively permanent as they comprise the fundamental knowledgebase which allows students to be economically viable whether they seek undergraduate education or opt to pursue a more vocational track. Instead, changes should be emphasized in two aspects of the curriculum: focus and structure. First, regarding a change in focus, we must shift the justification of course work from that which…

Being a teacher is far more complicated than I ever imagined. The long hours, loads of paper work and the high stress environment of a school system is not for the weak. Teachers are the most dedicated professionals all due to losing ourselves in the service of others. Controlling our classrooms is only one of the numerous obstacles we face daily. I have many coworkers who find themselves juggling responsibilities in high demand situations every day. We must find balance for everyone, not…

My research was focused on developmentally appropriate practices or DAP. DAP guidelines are broken into several different categories which can assess a teachers’ professional practices in their classroom. DAP is assessed based on students’ physical activities in a classroom, their social and emotional behaviors that occur from cognitive development inside a DAP centered classroom, student learning just to name a few.

I was able to do exactly this through three separate positions I held while I was an undergraduate: I was a Community Service Ambassador my…

Teaching is more than just standing in front of a class. Teaching it more than just rereading the same textbooks to an audience that could care less. Teaching is more than just grading an endless supply of papers proving only kids known how to copy and paste. Teaching start with behind the scenes work; planning out each lesson and what will be required with that lesson. It’s encouraging the students; making the words jump off the page as they write. Teaching is about knowing when policies need…

that I did not have before is my own freedom. To be allowed to obtain a good education in contrast to my black ancestors. So many obstacles have been overcome which have paved a way for equal rights to educate all people no matter what color, creed, religion, or disability one has. This situation of not having equal rights bothered me. I thought just because of the color of my skin I cannot be equal to get a good education.

The Education of Prisoners The overpopulation in prisons is growing drastically and will still grow over the next few years. Most of the prisoners are young adults, who while serving their sentence, are no longer given the right to pursue their university education.
