I hate to Cite-Help me

Help me- I hate Citations
I hate them!

What is the big deal with “Citations” & “WHY” are they required?


Identify the source of the information as well as provide information as to where the information can be located. This can be helpful especially for readers seeking further information on the subject matter.
Citations allow the author to document the original source; properly identifying the originator, as well as ensuring credit or recognition. Think about it: Give credit where credit is deserved, it would be very unethical to receive credit for another individuals work.  Protect yourself- do not take credit for faulty work? What if your referenced author is found to be incorrect, should you be faulted? No- CITE YOUR WORK!


What do you cite; typically a citation should identify:
  • Information about the author (identifying the individuals or individuals, organization etc.)
  • The title of the work (name of paper, such as title, etc.)
  • the name and location of the company that published your copy of the source
  • the date your copy was published
  • the page numbers of the material you are borrowing
What and when do I need to cite?

Good rule of thumb cite each time you use any of the following in your paper;  use quotes
  • paraphrase
  • use an idea that someone else has already expressed
  • When making a specific reference to the work of another
  • If your theory, concept, idea or work is an extension of another already developed theory, concept, idea or cited work or if this other theory, concept, idea or work has been essential in its development.

SEVEN 7 components-Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE)

The Department believes that strengthening educator practice can be achieved by improving talent management systems. The Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE) Continuum is made up of seven components that should be used in comprehensive and systematic ways to improve the quality, quantity, and diversity of the teacher and principal workforce, and most importantly – improve student outcomes. Within the context of a comprehensive TLE system, data about educator practice and student learning obtained from evaluation systems can help inform decisions to prepare, recruit, develop, retain, and ensure equitable access to effective educators.

I want to do the right thing, White teachers...Black schools

Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Ladson-Billings wrote that culturally relevant teachers exhibit confidence in African American students' ability to learn by maintaining high academic expectations and affirming "their cultural identity . . ." (Ladson-Billings, 1995). Culturally relevant teachers harness the power inherent to their occupation to confront institutional and systemic practices which disempower students of color. For these instructors, education becomes a liberatory exercise where classroom assignments become opportunities to teach for social justice. Additionally, culturally relevant instructors place tremendous emphasis on supporting African American students' of academic achievement (Ladson-Billings, 2006). Far from sympathetic, this support represents a sincere desire to take the necessary measures so the educational experience is germane to these students' lived experiences. Lastly, Ladson-Billings asserts that culturally relevant instructor...
