Reflection #5

Career and Technical Education

An experience that I had in high school was a program called Professionals of America. In this club helped us to have knowledge in how to work on an office, and to have some hours of experience in an office.  It was a very good experience for me, when I graduate from high school and I had a job.

Reflection #11

Outside of teaching, I like the idea of being a principal. I know is too much responsibility, but is a good challenge that I would like to try. The idea to have the school ready and for the kids to have all what they need to be successful in life it will be a good satisfaction.

Reflection #10

My predictions for schools in 2020 are, computers for each student, touch screen boars on the walls and the teacher will be able to check what the children are doing in their computers. Well this I would like to see it here in the US. Actually this was implemented in some school of Mexico, but because of the low budget and not enough technology was not that successful.  

Reflection #7

My first encounter with a a computer, was when I was 13 years old in school in Matamoros. Everything was

 so confusing and the teacher was not to good, after that my experience with computers started when we

came to live in Brownsville.  I was in a club of Associates of America, that was like a secretary training. 

Since that time a like it and think I'm good at it.  Right now at my work, I create new spredsheet or form for

 the department to be use, and some problem to add or fix printer and minor problems with programs.

Reflection #6

The sigle most important characteristic of  a teacher is to be passionate at work.  This will take us where ever

we want to be in the teacher career I believe.  To be a teacher we must love to learn and to give it back to

others, to enjoy the idea of molding new minds for the future to come. To help those kids that other teachers

leave behind because they dont care if they learn or not. To build kids confidence to the max and that make

them believe that they can conquer everthing with what we teach them.

Ch. 4 Pick one of the social challenges and give as many ideas as you can for how a teacher could address its effects in his or her classroom.

School Violence and Vandalism is the social challenge that I choose, because I lived thru that with my son. In the daycare that he was, there was a kid that just to bully him all the time and the teacher supposedly didn’t see it. What I with my son, was to encourage him that he could stop it; he would said that this kid was stronger than him and I put him in karate classes, but did work.   I spoke to the teachers and director but they didn’t do anything to fix it.  At the end, I change my son to another daycare. I did all possible to help him, of course this have to start in the house and then to have the help of teachers at school. I think in conjunction we can help our kids to stop school violence.

Ch. 3 - Which area of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences do you feel is your area of strength?

In the area that I feel more confortable is the interpersonal intelligence. I like to help people, to make them

feel confortable and not to be afraid.  Where I work, I able to just some of the skills that represent this

intelligense, I work in a hospital and sometimes people comes sick and they feel unconfortable and angry.

We need to make them feel good and to aliviate their pain. In here I can put in practice all the skills a been

learning.  It will be the same in the classroom, need to confort and make them feel that they can do everything

and capable to learn.
