Topic > The Effects of a Post-Industrial Society - 1450

As a first-generation college graduate from a small town in Michigan, once known as the center of the auto industry, I can personally identify with the effects of a post-industrial society. As can be seen, millions of unskilled and poorly educated physical workers found themselves unemployed. Therefore, getting a college education is more important than ever in today's modern society. However, many members of marginalized cultures struggle to access the resources necessary to participate in the higher education system. As a result, they influence adverse psychological effects involving academic achievement and perpetuate lower socioeconomic status in disadvantaged cultures. With this in mind, my passion for teaching is deeply rooted in the opportunity to serve as a cultural broker to connect with disadvantaged students by helping them overcome the educational barriers of academic achievement and psychological well-being. As an advocate and educator of students from diverse social communities, my plan is to research and implement activities related to educational support to promote upward social mobility. As a result, I hope to be able to reduce some of the extreme inequalities that individuals endure in lower socioeconomic communities. However, I have come to understand that the only way I can foster this desire is to discover an environment where I am needed. I also recognize that it is impossible to change the status quo alone, however, I am committed to transforming the lives of one student at a time. As a behavioral and social science professional, I am fortunate to possess many of the essential tools to analyze and structure strategies to work on improving these disparities. And so, as their first opportunity to write… in the middle of the paper… students have a chance to feel how the learning can be applied to the real world. Another technique I have found helpful includes the use of infographics, short videos, lectures, and podcasts. To assess learning objectives, I will include journals, exam essays, case studies, book reports, presentations, and research papers. As a teacher, I am committed to being a lifelong learner. My ongoing professional development is directly related to the adult learner experience. As an instructor, I am dedicated to being involved in the recruitment and retention of adult learners with specific goals, effective monitoring systems, and timely reporting of risk indicators. I understand that I must always be aware that adult students bring with them experiences, potentially negative past experiences related to school, that may require more attention.
