In my Service Learning Placement I have seen a huge focus in Math. They work on Math everyday in the classroom. Their teacher teaches math several different ways so students may learn in their way of learning. With my own children they have math homework each day. My older child talks about what he is learning in science each week. This is due to the push on Science and Math with the launching of Sputnik. In 2013 the Legislation of Utah passed HB139 for $10 million funding for S.T.E.M. I think this is also due to the launching of Sputnik. Science and Math are important to our education so we as a whole can be prepared for our future and compete worldly for jobs.
I have see support fro English Learners. In my Service Learning Placement there is a student who speaks little English. B gets one on one with English each day. I can see the other students do not understand B at times. B understands some English but not all. B is getting help with English so B can be successful in school. Every student needs a chance to succeed in their education.
Being that it is UEA break I was unable to interview my Service Learning Teacher. She was out of town all week and sick the week prior. I will interview her in two weeks due to the fact there is no school when I have my Service Learning set up.
