My Involvement in TAFE

My involvement in TAFE this year could have greatly been improved. Though I was involved in the canned food drive, I feel that next year I would really love to make a better appearance in my involvement with the Texas Association of Future Educators organization. Just by looking at the Teach Tomorrow Summit Program, I realized how many creative ideas I could contribute to this conference. It's safe to say, I'm so looking forward to my senior year next year and being involved with the TAFE organization!

Who is Stacey Bess?

Stacey Bess is a unique women. Her first teaching job was in a small shed behind a community homeless shelter. Stacey taught Kindergarden through sixth grade to kids with no homes, or hope in their lives. Nobody Don't Love Nobody, is Stacey Bess' very own personal story that shares her experiences of teaching. Her movie Beyond The Blackboard, also reflects her time she had in the classroom. I'm sure the circumstances would be very difficult at times, but I think I could handle it for the most part. Nothing great is done without work.

Bullying in School

Bullying has affected more children than one would think. With there being more ways to harass a kid nowadays, such as the internet, bullying is more common than ever. Though I have never been a victim of bullying, I think it is a very important issue we all need to address. I think what teachers and faculty can do to help this issue in the future, is to have a comfortable relationship with each student. That way students can come to teachers to talk about their problems and situations.
