The Arc of Learning

What is an Arc?

According to Wikipedia, a story arc is the chronological construction of a plot in a novel or story. 

In mathematical terms, an arc is defined as a portion of the boundary of a circle or a curve. It can also be referred to as an open curve.

In education, the ARC offers numerous resources to help guide you through the special education process for children.

I define an ARC as an apparent path, a protection for an area that it covers such as an umbrella that shelters a person from the rain, meaning that it acts as a shield. We will examine topics pertaining to education and the correlation to the well-being of the whole child.

Investment in 

The Whole Child,

Using:

The implementation of strategies that will provide a supportive learning environment that promotes and addresses each child’s individual needs, by building strong relationships among students, staff, families and the community, using evidence-based strategies that include learning environments that promote a child’s social, emotional, cognitive and academic development, as well as their physical and mental health, no matter their background.

We will look at the tensions that raise the stakes in education, obstacles that happen along the way, the consequences, and changes that are of great magnitude.

Meeting of the Minds (The Arc of Learning)

What does the term The Arc of Education mean to you?

Welcome to My Blog, The Arc of Learning

My name is Tonya. As a teacher, I observed that many schools in the Baltimore-Metro and surrounding areas had a deficiency of adequate resources. Many students needed guidance and parents needed help in navigating the school system. Parents needed direction as to how to tap into the resources that would help them. Therefore, I decided to make use of my experience and start an education consultancy business.

It has always been my desire to work with children. I have a strong belief that every child is entitled to an education that will give them a road map for life.

All children are alike in many ways, but at the same time, there are tremendous differences in the psyche. My plan is to take what I learned in and outside of the classroom, and use it as a tool to help students better understand what life has to offer them.

There are many topics that I know very well, and some that I do not. I am writing this Blog to share what I know and have learned throughout my tenure as a teacher and reading coordinator. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Bachelor of Science in Social Science.

In writing this blog, it is my hope to open a dialogue amongst teachers, parents, and the community. In doing so, we will cover a wide range of topics that are of major importance. In order to make this happen, your input is needed and greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
