My Driving Question is to track data in reading areas (as phonics and comprehension) and set goals to show an effect a teacher has on personalized student learning and how impact full it can be to readers that find it challenging to overcome second language learning delays when it comes to reading in English. My goal is to close the achievement gap when it comes to reading and spreading that to many other areas of academia. Internationally, our world is changing to a world of online teaching and no contact with students and I want this to show that teaching is a trade that is necessary to provide personal contact to students in their academic lives and their personal lives can make bigger strides in the academics overall to be seen as the whole student instead of just the scores of a student making the student and their progress or lack their of. I would love to start a program that would hit various districts in our state of California to make a how to on goal setting and have studies that show the impact that setting goals and an action plan has on children, even at the elementary school level. I would love to travel and teach districts of teachers how to go about setting goals and action plans for students to know the goal desired by grade level and have an action plan for students to meet their goal with their own input and drive to stay motivated, increase engagement and strive to be and do their very best in any academic situation with a positive growth mind set.

EDU790: Blog for September 5th, 2018
A problem as a Reading Specialist as a TOSA is the drive and motivation to want to become better. The enthusiasm to want to strive, practice and become the best reader they can be. Reading, decoding and comprehension is clearly not their strong suit and pushing through the limits of something they have always struggled with is hard to overcome to change the mind set that they arrive with, even if they are only in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade. My question, as of this point in my journey, is what is the most effective way to inspire a student to strive and do their best? Does positive talk and positive energy change the mind set of a child and motivate them to strive or does changing the sub conscience mind and the way they think change their mind set to grow beyond possibilities? I would like to explore what makes learners tick most effectively. I already know that the students that I work with are below grade level when it comes to reading, decoding, and comprehension. I already know that this is not their strength yet. I already know that some are more motivated than others intrinsically for various reasons. What I need to know is what methods have the biggest impact each day to change a child's learning and motivational path? Is it the teacher's enthusiasm of the subject matter? The personal connection to each student and their knowledge about their family and life activities? Is it the way the teacher interacts with the student each day? Is it the one-on-one personal attention and goals that inspire and motivate a student to work hard for you (the teacher)? And then, are they working for that particular teacher or do they intrinsically want to strive to be their best self for themselves and does it last as a part of their self motivation? Will daily impact for 10 months change the path for the rest of their lives or only be temporary. |
