Establishment of a Learning Culture

Learning cultures can be a very constructive way to engage and incorporate inclusion in the classroom or even the workplace. Having an organized learning culture creates a sense of belonging as well as value and trust for those that accept the skills and process. Teachers understand that all students are different and this plays a role in how we as educators should look at our demographics. They all have different values, beliefs, and backgrounds. Bringing students together for the sake of humanity and showing them how to converse and develop social norms are good for the future of society. Particularly, organizational learning culture may enable individuals to learn from each other allowing them to feel free to create creative ideas and transfer knowledge (Choi, 2020). Having the students understand that they are in a safe and effective learning culture with a stable environment leads to desired outcomes and positive learning. Students are more comfortable and free to discuss the material in group settings or individually.

“A little learning is a dangerous thing” makes me think that if you have not been taught the full lesson and only know a little, it could lead to a misinterpretation of the material. Not knowing and not understating the material brings most to have ambiguous interpretations and because of this, not all of the information is acknowledged. Individuals can interpret a small amount of understanding into a great amount and quickly label themselves as experts. False or too little learning leads up to having to reverse the false narratives and correct and further teach the material or lessons. Appropriate knowledge about any subject is imperative but only knowing a little is not growing in the right direction professionally. A knowledge-based and learning-based culture within the organization strengthen the employee efficiency in the organization (Meher et al., 2022). Only learning a little bit about something becomes a disservice to the audience that expects you to interact, develop learning, and tie it into a professional learning culture.

Embarking on a New Adventure

 As my days in school are over, for now, I embark on a journey of my own. Opening Haley Slaughter Reading Therapy LLC has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl. I always liked to play teacher in my mom's classroom. Yes, I said moms (there is a long history of teachers in my family). There were days when I would play "teacher" at home while doing my homework and even playing school with my friends. To tell you the truth, most of the friends I had/have ended up becoming teachers as well. Some are a little crazier than others teaching things like physics and calculus.  Opening HSRT is a work of heart. After knowing that dyslexia runs in families, or if you're like me it gallops, I started to want to know more about what dyslexia was. In my first year of teaching in a classroom, I had a student who was dyslexic and knew nothing about it. After doing my own research because none of my teaching classes or exams prepared me for having a dyslexic student in my c...

Teaching Media Fluency

  With the media being such a prevalent way to get messages across to people, especially students who are paying attention, it is vital that we educate them on media fluency. Students must be able to relate the information of the media effectively and efficiently through technology. This integration should be relevant through technology and communicated collaboratively. Therefore, the ability to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information to be beneficial is important for people of all generations, especially students (Hunsapun & Chen, 2019). It is important for teachers to explain to students that they must understand the information presented and then interpret that so that all parties, teachers and students, understand and can present it without having a biased opinion. Presenting all of the facts is essential as well. Students should understand how to effectively seek information and be able to ...

Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship provides information to teachers, parents, and especially students who use technology devices at home and at school. Many educators are hesitant to use technology in the classroom because they understand the risks associated with this type of learning. It is our responsibility, especially when asking students to complete assignments and assessments online, to actively observe and inform them on how to do this safely. Many students do not understand that a digital footprint is something that does not go away and for some, this could lead to repercussions both educationally and personally. Educating students and parents to where they feel comfortable is something that Digital Citizen can assist with. Digital citizenship is the ethical, moral, and responsible use of technology to ensure one’s own and others’ protection while collaborating in an increasingly digital, networked, and global society (Hawamdeh et al., 2022). This is where education has taken us, to a digi...
