After reading Michael Cabra’s blog post on his personal reflection and approach to spreading quality education, I was able to understand that effective education starts with funding from the government, along with the approach it takes on mapping out the education system for the country. Cabra goes on to talk about how a crucial factor in the education system is to have a hands-on approach starting at a younger age (Cabara, 2021). Instead of sitting through lectures to retain information, doing experiments, group work, and class collaboration would allow for kids to understand the information a lot easier. In essence, teachers play a critical role in children’s education due to the fact that it’s their job to approach teaching with a more hands on method when teaching any given subject. When Cabra mentioned an experiment from his academic career, “Each group member got to experiment on a small piece of dry ice…It made Chemistry come to life”. He goes on to explain that he understood how the dry ice transforms into another form (Cabara, 2021). From my own personal experience with in class experiments, these techniques enabled me to enhance my knowledge on the information more than any lecture ever did. I agree with the fact that utilizing an interactive strategy to teach students allows the most kids to further their education and abilities. But what I didn’t fully agree with is a more leniently styled curriculum should be introduced. Discretion is a fundamental quality for teachers to teach kids by using their selective resources to effectively educate to the best of their abilities. But it is still important that their discretion is not too large so that the children are still receiving quality education as mandated under a descriptive curriculum. A curriculum-based system allows kids from all backgrounds to have access to uniform quality education across the board. The indinuidy lies in the hands of the teachers, based on how they go about teaching the curriculum with the boundaries they possess. Although this approach is dependent on the teacher, the government as a whole can fund and publicize this idea of teaching to the rest of their country. Teacher flexibility complements the boundaries that lie in a certain curriculum, which acts as a major component in the degree of success stemming from how teachers educate. All in all, Micheal Cabra’s reflection permitted me to further my understanding on ways to approach change for quality education. My take on this approach is that teachers need to take into consideration that a hands on approach is one of the most effective forms of teaching, and having a structured system in place allows for equal access to the resources and information for all countries.
