 A common misconception is that a teachers job is nice, simple and easy. The truth is that it is not like many think. A teacher is responsible for so many things aside from educating academics to students.Specially because all of the students come from different backgrounds and have had different experiences due to their culture. As mentioned before aside from teaching, a teachers job is also to make all students feel confident and safe with who they are. To accomplish this there is only so many things that a teacher can do. The real question is how far, what length or what measures are teachers willing to go for their students. As I was reading through this weeks module, on a teacher should be culturally responsive,  there were some words that stood out to me which I chose for my WORDitOut. I choose these words because I was able to connect them with the importance of being a teacher who goes above and beyond for their students and how they should respond to having a diverse classroom

 The question “Is schooling Equitable?” is asking if schools are fair and/or equal. There is a lot of things that could be argued within this topic but I personally believe that although many things have changed over the years; schools are still not equal. In the past, schooling and education wise were considered unfair and unequal. People of color couldnt even go to the same school as white people. Although this is not the case, nowadays the students are still being separeted even even if both white and color people are attending the same school.Stereotypes are the most common misconsepting in a school that we all do this no matter what. We see someone and automatically start looking at them up and down, noticing any detail and judging without even knowing them By doing this students are already choosing who theyre going to get along with and who they arent going to talk to.Not only are the students being separated by the stereotypes of being of color or who are part of a minority gro

 Just like people say that there is always two sides to every story I also think that we dont ever have the full picture, there is always more to what we dont see or to what we dont know. We only see a portion or part of the picture or the moment that was being lived and this is the same thing with students.When I was reading through this weeks module there was a quote that caught my attention. It said “Teachers go into the field with limited understanding of the children…”(Bettina Love). It really stood out to me because it supports the idea that we dont have the full picture, specially when it comes to teachers and students. In college teachers learn the overall of student on how to understand their think and what curriuclum they should be teaching. A teacher never gets the opportunity to know their students at a 100%. Teachers are in charge of teaching a certain amount of curriculum to a certain amount students in one year, which is why teachers are first when it comes to wether or

 There is many different ways in which this question can be interpreted but how do we actually talk about the things that matter with others without offending or disrespecting others? I feel like this is a very contreverisal question becuase one can say there ever isnt a right way to talk about certain things, but also there always is a right way in which things can be talked about. Wether youre talking to a child or an adult about things that are happening out in the real world, one should always look for the right words when bringing up certain subjects with other people regardless of their age. For example, race and equality is a very contreversial topic among everyone. A topic like this is something that needs to be talked about respectfully, you never know when a word or opinion might be taken offensively by others.Many would say that it is best to keep kids away from these type of issues but on the other hand it is a real problem thats been on going for years. In the article “How

  Education forms a big part of how we grow individually and the chances of becoming successful. Someone who has had a better eduaction in a better and more wealthier town with public schools is more likely to become more succesful than someone who lives in a unlweathier town who couldn't attend a public school. Many times students ask their teachers questions like, " what is the point of coming to school", " are we ever going to need this in the future?". Truth is that they will eventually need what they are learning. Adding subtracting reading are all basic things that parents teach but children do gain more practice and better understanding at school. So, to answer the students question, there actually is a purpose to school, specially public schools. If there wasnt any public schools a lot of childrens wouldn't have an affordable place to learn or be even be able to have an education. This is because a lot of families live off a tight budget and they wou

  Why teach?      Hi! my name is Mariela and this is my third year at Texas state. From my past teachers I can tell that teaching is a job that takes heart and passion. Beign a teacher has always been my dream job ever since I was a kid. I have a lot memories of when I was younger where I would play school with my cousins and somehow I was always the teacher. Not only did I use to play school but even in elementary school, as a 5th grader I would always volunteer to help younger levels. I was a lonely child for about 10 years and when my brother came around I felt as of I had to be a role model for him. Now that he's in school he reaches out to me when he doesnt understand his homework. Its such a good feeling when im explaing to him, because most of the time Im able to tell that he actually did gain a greater understanding.     Im hoping to become an Elementary teacher and teacher 1st or 2nd grade. Early childhood eduaction has to be one of the most important phases in a students
