One of the most positive effects research has is the ability to actually find ways to help people. For example, studies have been conducted on the effects of certain drugs on the ability for children to function when they have issues such as ADHD. Although there are always possible side effects of drug use, they have found numerous pills which are able to enhance many children and adults abilities, and many times it out weighs the risk of not taking it. Conditions like ADHD are not life threatening, but it helps people regulate themselves in order to continue to succeed.

My topic is focused on behavior management and the use of behavior and emotional rating scales in the classroom. The research chart elements were something not uncommon for me, since we have had to use resources and do some basic research through out this program. I feel like this class should have been offered as a second course rather than a 5th course (for me anyway).  Any insight on using rating scales is greatly appreciated!

week 8 blog assignment

I find it interesting that we are to post consequences of learning. Shouldn't it be considered unfortunate knowledge rather than a consequence of knowing more things? I find it disappointing that although Korea has a strict educational system that if you do not have access to money that the English courses are hard to obtain. I find it unfortunate that children struggle to have a better life. It is amazing to me that at elementary age, they are already choosing career goals.

my goal is to make more people aware of the teaching opportunities there are outside of the US in order for people to have a chance to make a difference as well as travel the world.
