The Educated Black Woman

Introduction
Introduction
Hello, my name is Taylor Owens. I currently work in the field of education as a third grade teacher, and currently working towards receiving my Master’s degree in Curriculum Instruction.With the experience of working with teachers, administrators, and students, I have the  ability to think outside of the box to create a lesson that is engaging to the students, as well as easier for the teachers to teach. Schools will benefit from my services by students becoming the people that they dream to be, and teachers being able to provide the best lessons to make dreams come true.
 The completion of my graduate degree has helped me gain a better understanding on what I could do better as an educator, as well as a leader in the school. I have learned about what I need to improve on as a future curriculum specialist. I am eager to portray all that I have learned in the field. 
The learning outcomes of the course can be implemented into an elevator pitch. I would incorporate the learning of,and full understanding of action research.It will entrigue the employers of my worth ethic, and what I could possibly bring to the organization. 

The quote that I use as an affirmation is the quote above. William G Spady  understood that not every child is the same, especially not everyday. It is our responsibility as educators to be like the students: learners. We have to learn our students before we can teach them what is needed to be taught. We also need to learn what skills or tactics needed to teach their students. I know that any child can learn, and any teacher can learn to teach any child.

PBL Overview and Assessment

Project- Based Learning Overview and Assessment When testing  my project, I have recieved a great amount of advise on how to perfect the project. One of the  pieces of advise that I appreciate the most is the fact that I could incorporate multiple subjects within the project. At first, I wanted to focus on science, and maybe include mathematics.Afrer reviewing feedback, I realized that I could incorporate mathematics and laguage arts into the project. It will help the students perfect their skills in other areas while working on one subject.  When selecting the assessments, I wanted to be sure that the assessments would correlate to what they are learning. I wanted to ensure that the assessment were not too much for the students to handle. The knowledge that they would learn. I wanted to ensure that they understood by practicing the skills before the project. This is done during the lesson and after the lesson when they are able to practice on their own. ...
