                                This classroom is aesthetically but also educationally responsive in many ways. I included color which is the point of interest of most younger students. I also wanted the classroom to be comfortable instead of structured like a traditional classroom. This is why I included a couch, table, and lounge furniture. During the transition from first to second grade, students are aware of their ABCs, numbers and are learning to tell time, which I made sure to reiterate in the classroom. I also added the facial expressions to the board so we can see the mental health of each student and how their day is going before class starts. Also, I included a checklist which is basically the learning objectives of the class. I think mental health is an important aspect of learning at any level. I also added a arts and craft section, which is a way students will express themsel...

My name is Tiana Brown and I am from Orlando, FL. I was living in Gainesville for the past four years, but I recently moved back to Orlando due to COVID. I am a 4th year African American Studies major with a double minor in innovation and education at the University of Florida. After I graduate, I am undecided if I want to go to UF Law School or to apply for UF Graduate School to pursue my masters.

This is one of my favorite hobbies because I am a good seasoner when it comes to preparing dishes. One of my favo...

  When I was in high school, I was a part of IB and the AP program. Of course, the work is very challenging because it is set in place to prepare students for high education or college. During my s enior year of high school, my grandma had breast cancer and was in her final stages and I was trying to juggle school work and trying to be there for my family and help in any way that I could. Of course, grieving takes a toll on you as you prepare for a loved one's death, I wasn’t focused mentally in school. However, senior year is the most important and this is the year that you apply for college, army, trade school, and other areas of interest. I battled with the decision of staying in AP classes and taking the easier route to lessen the burden but I decided to stick it out. As my grandma was going through her own situation, she always encouraged me to finish school (graduate with a degree). Most students were prepared and knew exactly what college they wanted to go to and here I w...
