What is the Purpose of Schools?

 The purpose of schools are to help students expand not only their knowledge but their minds. Throughout the years, our education system is constantly developing and this happens with the knowledge that teachers themselves are gaining from when they went to school. Schools are suppose to help students learn how to develop and learn the different ways of success and also teach them how to be prepared for their future. School is very beneficial for students and certain jobs they may want to apply to and this helps them pave a way to get to where they want to be. As years go by and we learn more throughout our lives from being taught in school, we get to figure out how to solve certain obstacles we may encounter in our lives and also have the benefits of being provided with many different opportunities such as scholarships, internships, career benefits, etc. Education plays a big role in everyone's life and can also be seen as the base to building your life into what you want it to be.

    Hi Diaynara,
    I like how you focused your blog more around how to help our students achieve their future goals, rather than that the purpose of school is for students to learn strictly curriculum content. I believe this is important not only for their futures, but it helps them develop a sense of who they are and what they want at a young age. It also helps keep students engaged in learning to know they are valued beyond their academic level.
    Loved your insightful post!

    Hello Diaynara,
    I like how you included the job aspect, I hadn't considered how that is part of their future and how huge it is. That would be their income, and abilities for the rest of their lives. Makes me wonder if we are set up and taught to work and that why we have our majors and strands we follow ever since high school. You hit all the main points and I believe the same things.

Why Teach?

Why Teach? Education is a very important part in everyone's life. It is the pathway to our future and our success. Teaching comes in many different ways and provides different subjects. Growing up, I had always admired the teachers I had for what they did and felt as if they did not get enough credit as they deserve. Till this day, I still look back at them and feel so fortunate to have had the amazing teachers I had lead me to where I am at today. My mom and grandma were teachers and I always knew it was something that I would want to do as well. I find something so special in being able to help guide others and teach them new things and also be able to build a connection with them. Being able to have the opportunity to get to learn about new things every day that I currently apply to my life now is such a special thing to have. I want to be able to teach grades Pre-k through 5th grade. My reasoning for this is because I love working with children. I want to be able to help guide ...

What are you willing to do to educate all children?

 I want to set many examples for my students. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have incredible teachers who set many impactful examples in my life that I still carry with me till this day and apply to my daily life. I think when it comes to teaching, it's important that we are not only showing students the lessons that they are "required" to learn about certain subjects, but also lessons that will benefit them for their future and guide them in a good direction. I want to build a connection with all of my students and allow them to feel comfortable in my classroom. I want them to see school as a place that is exciting and a safe space instead of seeing it as somewhere they are being forced to go to. I want to make sure when I am teaching them different types of lessons, that I am teaching them in a unique way that will help the information stay with them and will be lessons that they genuinely are curious about learning. Diversity is something huge we all see in ever...

How does Gender Affect the Teaching Profession?

The fights that women have put up to even get our teachers where they are now is mind blowing to think about, but state gender still does have a huge impact on the teaching profession today. We indeed have made a lot of progress, but still somehow receive the negative comments about women being in the teaching field. Teaching our students about the equality that should be shown throughout this whole experience is so important because they are our future generation and if we want to break the cycle of this injustice, not only is it going to start with us but also our future students.  Gender had a major impact on the education system back then as we had read in this weeks modules. Something that I stand by and hope to teach my students is that at the end of the day we are all equal. We are all just skin and bones. We are humans. It should not matter what differences you have because those difference are what make you your own person. Rather you are a boy or a girl it should not affe...
