Throughout the course I have been introduced to some awesome and very helpful videos. This video really caught my attention. I couldn't explain it any better than these words. I love the idea of " awakening" my students.

One day in class we talked about being positive with our students. Specifically in regards to testing and assessments. There are now so many required standardized tests that I can only imagine how stressed the students feel. Students are labeled so often by the number on result from one test that is assessed in one way. I could rant about why I don't like standardized test. Instead, check out this video about how these teachers make the idea TCAP less taunting and looming for the students at their school.

My favorite of all these link is this one. This is a brief view of the special education classroom at Westdale. This covers a variety of topics that we have discussed in class and ideals I would love to incorporate into my classroom. There is a strong sense of community, great classroom management, positive relationship, adaptations, and so much more! The teacher says that " a lot of people use the word delay, but all I see is ability and a desire to learn." I love that, that's the attitude I would hope that all teachers approach their students with.
