When it comes to the use of archival information about teaching, there is a lot out there to find. i began searching through the ball state library and daily news archives to look for information that would be helpful to me in my research. the problem that i encountered though was that there was plenty of information, just none of it was relative to my subject matter. everywhere i looked i only found where a teacher had gone on strike, or been fired, or had went to court about something or another. what i need is a teachers account of their teaching experience in their own words. it's hard to gain insight about what makes a great teacher if you dont get an actual account from the teachers themselves. archival information could be helpful to me if i was needing simple information, but what i need is a detailed and personalized account. so the archives didnt really help me out too much

Week 10 Def

Teacher's Edition- the book with all the answers to the textbooks questions

Classroom- the room where a teacher educates students

Pupil- another term for students

Text- the textbooks themselves

Mascot- something that represents a school, or teacher, or class

My words were easily found out because everyone is in this type of culture throughout their own lives. the words have been in place through all of their lives so they know what they mean as soon as they see them

Week 9

The things that i hope to give back to my community is basically recognition for what it is that the teachers themselves have to go through everyday, something that many people dont understand or realize. What i hope to give back to the teaching community is a little bit of light shed down upon the things that are normally not perceived by the general public, and to give teachers a little bit of pride in that people will respect their decisions to teach. I plan to contribute the knowledge that i have pooled from multiple sources in order to show people the lives of not just one teacher, but many so that they can realize that teaching is a global community not just one tied down in a single town. all teachers go through the same trials and tribulations throughout their careers, and i simply hope to show people some of these problems.

Week 8

As i step back and look at what i have found out so far, i find that there are a few running themes associated with teachers in general. First it seems that they all love their jobs and that is the reason why they do what they do, they dont do it for the money or the recognition, they do it because they love to teach and they love children. secondly i realized that they are more than happy to share their knowledge to those around them who are wanting to pursue careers in teaching of their own. in this way everyone learns from everyone elses mistakes and successes. i am still a part of this community i feel, even though i have decided to change my major. by still being in an EDSEC 150 class i feel attached to the community still, also i feel connected through my relationships with my old teachers.
