SPED200 Class Feb1st & 3rd

This week in class we discussed the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Exam. It's an exam all futre teachers have to take and it consists of Reading, writting, and math. We also looked at a website called Teach for America. Which is about giving students and equal opportunities for education. The minorities are the ones who are recieving the worst education. It's important for everyone to get a good education. This website encourges teachers to teach in areas with poverty and where students need the most help. Teach for America is putting an effort to improve the quality of public education. The also watched a clip about the global achievement gap which gave a list of seven survival skills.
1.) Critical Thinking and Problem Solving

3.)Initiative and Enterpreneurialism
4.) Accessing and Analyzing Information
5.) Effective Oral and Written Communication
