Objective

Seeking entrance into the graduate program in the TLAC department for the Spring 2011 is my goal.

An area I would like to pursue is how students process knowledge. Over the years, things that have been taken for granted as common sense knowledge are not there. Previous generations had these abilities or had opportunities to learn them, but in the last seven years student knowledge and how it is processed have both changed drastically. I have some concerns and would like to work on research in this area.

I am a 20-year science classroom teacher from Cuero, Texas, seeking entrance into the graduate program in the TLAC department for Spring 2011. Your research interest "UnanticipateConsequences of No Child Left Behind"topic is something I have witnessed first hand.
