Greetings! My name is Ashley and I am from Denver, North Carolina. I have a pretty small family including a brother and sister, and my parents. I am the baby of the family, so I tend to get away with things most of the time. In my free time I love going to the beach or heading up the mountains for a snowboarding trip. For the first time I was able to travel out of the country and that was this summer to Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was very different than anything I have ever experienced. I was there a little under a week and by the end of the trip I was speaking "yea mon" to everyone. It seemed like a very laid back country. Growing up I was introduced to French as a second language, however, I grew more of an interest in speaking Spanish. I am not as up to date on Spanish as I would like to be,but I can certainly make my way through a conversation if needed. I am currently a full time student at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, working towards my degree in Elementary education! This is something that I have always wanted to do since I was a little girl.

WHAT I LEARNED |
- Concentrations for UNC-Charlotte Students
- Concentrations areas for UNC Charlotte Students include English and Communications, Mathematics, Social Studies, Visual and Preforming Arts, Science, and International Studies.
- Your concentration can include two areas of specialization for UNC-Charlotte Students
- Elementary teachers teach all subjects, except (P.E., Art, Technology, Library) which are referred to as "specials".
|
- How do we build knowledge in areas we are not specialized in?
- What are the differences in areas of specialization between Germany and USA?
- Are there different concepts of the term "specialization"?
- What subjects do you teach on a daily basis in Germany?
- Whether or not having penpal's will be beneficial for students
- Are there concentration/specialization requirements for German Students?
|
- Germany looks at specialization as taking classes to specifically teach in certain areas (additional qualification)
- To build our knowledge in the area we are not specialized in there are workshops,classes can be taken, talk to advisors for suggestions, gain knowledge through tutoring.
- International Projects/Penpals can be beneficial for all students! It is a way to introduce a class project and to learn about foreign cultures.
- There are no specializations for elementary teachers in Germany
- teachers have to take further training to become a special needs teacher, psycologist or counselor.
- German teachers have to teach all subjects
- Elementary Teachers in Germany teach almost every subject (math, German, English, Arts, S.S.)even if they have not taken classes on that specific subject. So they don't have specializations
- Secondary schools do have areas of specializations because each subject is taught by a different teacher.
