Rachel's thoughts

 All throughout this course we have learned all types of different strategies to help us become great teachers who are great at teaching. All of the little strategies we take with us will help us become better for our students, these are a few of the strategies I liked...  1. Text- to -world 2. 3- minute pause 3. Blogging 4. Black-out poem 5. Self- Assessment  With using all of these strategies it will only help me become a better teacher for my students. Text- to - word is connecting real world activities to our personal lives which will help the students be able to make better connections. 3- minute pause is where us teachers give our students a few questions after a lesson to see if they understand what was being taught. Blogging has shown us the major problems within the schooling system and how we can help fix them by listening to our peers' opinions. Black- out poem can show the students that everyone's work can be completely different, but they are all correct and ...

 In this module we learned about the three different types of curriculum used based on many different factors. The first one is Hidden Curriculum, this is when we are taught something unintentional, students learn something from the explicit curriculum. Explicit Curriculum is something intentionally taught from the teacher. Lastly, Null Curriculum is lessons omitted from the explicit curriculum. While all of these are teaching students, we can't control everything.

While I don't disagree with that, I also believe that there is some stuff our textbooks don't have but I may feel is necessary for them to learn. As stated in "Doing Right By Our Students", we need to evaluate wha...

 It is 2022, not the 1900's. We have definitely come a long way with desegregation from what it was like before. With that being said it is still not 100% desegregated like a lot of people would assume would happen by now. It is 2022 and with all of the new technology it seems like that is everyone's main focus, learning how to do the next "in thing" regarding technology. I think that segregation is so far in the past people don't realize that it is still an issue today and people are being affected by it. In the past modules we talked about poverty and how that affects school systems, I think that poverty is a big factor weighing in on segregated schools. In "Schools are still segregated, and black children are paying a price" by Emma Garcia, she states that "Black children are more than twice as likely as white children to attend high-poverty schools" I think this is very important information because obviously children can't change their...
