Hi, welcome back to another week. It seems like the year is going by so fast, I don’t believe the weekend even happened. Seriously, 2020 please slow down so I can get my thoughts together. Speaking of thoughts, I’ve been thinking about what I am passionate about when it comes to education and my experience as a learner. I figure this will help me narrow down my very broad ideas.
Last week my two proposal options discussed the importance of students getting the most advantageous opportunities in the classroom with reading choices and ESL classes. After thinking about these two previous ideas I am considering dropping the first topic and discuss more ESL.
Ethnography:
I am still interested in researching how ESL classes benefit immigrant students however, this time I plan to move forward with a different approach. In this approach, I plan to use my own learning experience to express learner diversity in elementary classes. I am considering this approach because I believe that it will push me to get out of the traditional way of thinking about thesis topics. An ethnographically based research will help me delve more into my own experiences and discover more of what constructs me as a bilingual learner.
Educating preschoolers with learning disabilities
Lastly, another area that I am passionate about is my career. I currently work in a special needs school with students who have learning disabilities. My typical day at work is different from other preschools. I interact daily with students whose learning styles require speific and strategic methods. I would like to study why their disabilities require individualized learning plans.
