Lesson 14 reflection

This week has been crazy. My parents came into town this week because my brother in-law graduated. We had a family dinner and after we eat dinner my mom. sister, and I started taking about title one schools. Also, things that my mom had to do to make sure that all my siblings had the right teacher for them. It made me think of my sophomore year. In 9th grade, I got test out of an IEP for my reading but I still had a 504. So, because of that my high school put me in a regular sophomore English class. My reading level was on level but my writing was not, so my mom and I went into the counselor office had them change my schedule and get me into the English that I needed. My past has helped me a lot in this class because growing up I had a speech impediment. I could not say my R's, every time I did they would sound like W's. The feeling that you guys had of frustration and embarrassment when doing the learning disability and fluency disorder. That was my life, I have a learning disorder and because of the disorder, it takes me longer to process things. I had speech therapy till 7th grade and I was in a different English class till 10th grade. People that did not grew up with me still till me that I have an accident. That took me a while before I was comfort with people telling me that. I know that they don't mean to hurt me but for a while it was a remind of my speech impediment. That was a big part of me that I wanted to forget, because my whole life I have been trying to fix it. People that have speech impediments can't here the difference between what you are saying and what they say. People with learning disorders are the same in a way. For the longest time, I didn't understand what the difference was with me thinking process and someone that doesn't have a learning disorder. No one explained to me what was different about me but the more that I have try to do things I realize that I can't. For example, the last test that we took in this class. I had to read the question out loud for two reasons. One was that there are some words that are really hard for me to read, so I have my husband brake the word down for me. That way I have a better chance of reading the word and understanding the question. Another reason was to be able to process and comprehend the question.

Lesson 12 Reflection

This week had a lot to do with test, but most importantly how to accommodate test for students. I really like all the ideas that this chapter had about it. It talked about things to do before, during, and after. I feel like teachers need to be able to think of different ways to  test their students because a lot of students hate the idea of taking a written test that they have to answer the question. Teachers need to remember that sometimes the best way to test students is in an inform setting. That is where some student feel the most comfortable and are more likely to give you an honest results on their knowledge.   You will get different reactions to test,   and it is the teacher that need to accommodate to those needs and reaction. This week I did the simulation of the eye patch. It was harder than I thought it was going to be. I typically forget that my left eye is weaker than my right. So when I put the eye patch on my right eye it was difficult to read ...

Lesson 7 Reflection

This week was about assessment. I really enjoyed how the reading talked about all the different kinds of assessments. Sometimes I mean like us as teacher forget that there are more than just the formal standard ways of assessing. We need to assess the students learning in more different ways. A big reason more just other ways of testing is because some students of test anxiety which will cause them to close up and do really bad on the test when that students really do know the information that you are testing them on. Also, another reason is that they might not comprehend what they are reading or just don't understand the language that the test is in. I know for me on some test, I had someone read the test to me because I had a hard time comprehend things that I read. That is the only way that I could get through school. I had it mostly in elementary school but I still enjoyed, and I saw a difference on my test scores when I tried taking a test without someone reading me the quest...

Elder Ballard mention how in the parable that Jesus tells, it talk about a Samaritan  helps a Jew. It is important that Jesus mentions this two different groups because back then they didn't like each other and would never inter mingle. From this parable we can learn that we need to treat everyone with care and love.  " The Moving of the Water ," Elder Boyd K. Packer Elder Packer talks about how we need to serve our neighbors. We need to remember that everyone is our neighbor. No matter how big or how little our act of service is, it can have a big impact on the person that is receiving the service.    " Concern for the One ," Elder Joseph B.
