Issues in Education: How Much Do Voters Know?

Here is the link to the prompt.


My survey results show that no one around me knows Who the U.S. Secretary of Education is, and the priority initiatives with the current Secretary of Education. The level of knowledge about the priority initiatives with the current Secretary of Education is very low. The people that I surveyed are not up to date with the U.S. Secretary of Education.

I think to update voters of all the different issues we could take action by talking about them more during class so people can understand and they can tell others so more action can take place. We could also start posting more about all the issues to get more people to take action as well.

Here is a link to a website about issues in education.

It's All About Me - How I Best Learn!



All About Me

Here is the prompt reference link


As an auditory-tactile learner I learn best in hands-on activities. Being able to touch things and having physical activity is how I learn best. In US history, I learn best in that class because we are either doing a galley walk or we are doing something that involves small pieces of paper that has a bunch of information on it that we will all touch and pass around the room. And as an auditory learner I can learn just by hearing a teacher talk a and give a lecture.





My multiple intelligences are Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Bodily Kinesthetic. For Intrapersonal, I learn best by concentrating my mind. I learn best by being focused. For Interpersonal, I learn best by working in groups. Finally, for Bodily kinesthetic, I work best with a mind-body connection. For bodily kinesthetic I would learn best with hand movements to remember things.

To find out your multiple intelligences are take this quiz.

My Hemispheric Preference is Global. I like working with others, rewards/verbal praise, and also humor, stories. I often ask questions such as: "Why are we doing this?" and "Why does it really matter?". I will also say things like: "I need a break!", "I'll do it later.", and "I'll come back to this later.
Global people have the characteristics of:

  • let's others go first
  • likes humor, stories
  • sees relationships
  • likes team competitions
  • likes working with others 


My True Color is blue.  Some characteristic that make me Blue are:

  • nurturing                                    Here is a link to read more about the blue color.
  • emotional
  • empathetic                               
  • imaginative
  • inspirational
  • compromising 
  • spirited
  • compassionate

When a blue has a bad day they will withdraw from the rest of the day. They will also start to day-dream, and go into a trance.

My Biggest Challenges as a Future Teacher


Future as a teacher
Here is the reference link to the prompt
The two biggest hurdles or challenges i feel that i will encounter as a future teacher is having to discipline the children and feeing overwhelmed with having a lot of children in my class at one time. Having a large class can effect a students learning by not being able to focus when the class gets too loud.
Disciplining the children when they are acting up will teach them to respect me as a teacher and it will also teach them to respect their parents as well. Having a large classroom with a lot of students will get really loud and it will be hard to teach them if some may have a harder time in class than others. For discipline i can be firm and show them that just because I'm a girl doesn't mean that i can discipline them and i am strong. For having a big classroom full of students i can schedule tutorials for those who may fall behind in learning and i can get the students to work together to help bring each other up.
