"It is during adversity when one can really make a big difference. But making a difference is not about being a big hero. It is simply about leaving the bathroom a little cleaner going out, than when you came in (Brokaw, 2010)." This quote states that we are not trying to change the the world, but to affect the students in your classroom. Regardless of what they know when they come into your classroom, we should be determined as true educators to heighten their level of education every day when they leave.
Providing students the opportunity to change is what we as educators must do. With what I have learned this past year, I am more focus than ever to use every tool available to me to deliver instruction to students so they may have that opportunity to take to make a difference in their lives. With the research packet that I have been able to compile, I believe that this would make a real and firm contribution to all educators in making a difference in an urban school system.
i feel very strong about my action research. Based on what I have seen and experienced, my ideas, backed by research done prior to my recorded accounts, is a recipe for success for all teachers in any subject. With Math my focus, students - regardless of their background - can learn complex mathematics if given the opportunity. The opportunity must be true. An educator must seek to see what motivates the student and then implement the delivery of instruction that promotes engagement by using technology the student can interact with.
edutopia is a publishing company that pushes the envelope in providing information to all educators regardless of their experience.
