Joy of Teaching
My group when talking about teachers only mentioned was that all teachers are required to have or be working on getting a masters degree. In the chapter it went over the schools faculty structure. Then it talked about the different role each position has. In a school the principal has the higher responsibility and the elements that they are in control of are hiring new teachers. In my groups school the school was controlled by region containing Farmington, Me and its surrounding towns. Our school will get the money they need to give the students a proper education from the tax payers of the greater Farmington region.

Chapter 3: Families and Communities
Joy of Teaching
Teachers cannot promote a religion in their classroom or any school. I think that schools should not teach children religion in school. The main reason is because there is many religions out there it different beliefs. It is not right to focus on one believe and not the others. I think if schools were to try to put religion in to the education to put it as an after school activity and offer all different types of religions. It is hard to teach religion because there is no right or wrong way to view it.

Chapter 2 Today's Student
Joy of teaching; Hall, Quinn, Gollnick
How are students with disabilities integrating schools?
In Chapter 2 it shows how since 1995 the number of students with disabilities has been growing each year. This is in all types of disability that the number has risen each year. From the U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 says that nearly half of students receiving special help have a learning disability. When a student has a learning disability comprehend at the same level as most students just cannot read of decode what they are reading at the same rate. When the students get accommodations it sets them up to be in the same position as kids without a learning disability. This way the are at the same playing field as everyone else. These make students with disabilities blend in with the regular students and makes getting accommodations to get the same education as everyone one else in the class.

Chapter 1 becoming a teacher
Joy of Teacher; Hall, Quinn, Gollnick
Things that brought me joy
• I like the idea of the teacher working in hands on assignments. This is how I learn better I am a very hands on kind person. I almost went to school for construction but I Like how the teacher used jigsaw puzzles to effectively teach their students.
• The next thing I liked was the fact the teacher put students with disabilities and students without into one class. The teachers’ reasoning was to have the students learn how to accept each other. I think this will have a big effect on both of the students and help both of them learn better.
• What brought me joy also was I agreed with what the book said about most teachers get the most joy out of is seeing a student achieve at a high level.
Things that did not bring me joy
• One thing that didn’t bring me joy was the fact that teachers are identified as semiprofessional compared to some other fields as law and engineering.
• Another thing that did not bring me joy was the fact that three out of four teachers say they are under paid for what they have to do.
• The last thing that was not joyful to me was that one in five entry level teachers are gone within the first three years.
