Theory and Practice

Theory and practice are two different words; there is a tendency to think of them as separate unconnected words. Whether they are unconnected or whether there is a direct linear relationship between them is a matter of debate. In a profession like teaching, it raises profound questions. The lacuna that characterize teaching methods in the present context have initiated research to study the relation between theory and practice.
If we look at learning theories as bases for educational activities, we can perceive a continuous process from theory to practice. The process begins with theoretical principles. The principles help to devise teaching methods and ...

Five strategies for supporting second-language learners in an early childhood classroom which I have found to be successful are as follows:

Children love to watch television. Turn on the classroom television but turn off the sound and turn on closed captions, thus forcing them to read English. After about five minutes, turn off the television and ask students to write two sentences about what was going on in the cartoon. Ask questions of the plot or characters to get them thinking about how to formulate more than superficial answers. It becomes very competitive between the ESL students to see ...

Just like any other career or profession, teaching should be done skillfully and with a lot of dedication because to a great extent, it does determine the destiny of a learner. In her book Annual Edition: Education 12/13 Rebecca B.

I have also learnt a couple of concepts that I would wish to use in my professional life as a teacher.

Training Activities

Developing your own coaching diagram.
Personally, a successful coaching program for me is something that involves the participation of both the coach and the client. Client’s full participation is a requirement for the success of the program because the client is the one who will make the difference or can provide the answers or is capable of making the program work. The coach is only there for reinforcement and guidance. No matter how good the program is, and how much effort the coach has given to the program, if the client does not cooperate well, then still, success couldn’ ...

The Board of Education violated her right to privacy

The Board of Education disregarded Pettit's entitlement to privacy. She had devoted much of her time to work with the mentally challenged children for more than thirteen years and, all through her vocation, her assessments were constantly positive.

Evaluation of School’s Vision and Learning
The educational establishment has a traditional vision of learning, believing that the school has to comply with the requirements of the national program. Specifically, the school concentrates primary attention on the process of learning, the academic productivity of students, and their behavioral patterns inside the school. Also, it is considered that children’s performance has to match the nationally established requirements for certain subjects and the teachers as well as management do not go beyond these frames.

In the classroom, the student’s learning experience is enhanced by the current, effective, and modern instruction methods through technology. As a teacher, the technology that I would use in a wealthy school would be Smart Board, LCD Projector, and the Internet. A modern smart whiteboard has a touch screen functionality and is electronically powered. A teacher can demonstrate points by simply using a pen or a finger. Correspondingly, using the projector, the teachers can easily display the visual images on the smart board that would improve the students’ learning. Using the smart board, a projector, and the Internet, ...

Poor children have been faced with poverty as a risk factor in their success academically. Some children who come from poor backgrounds are affected in their school readiness.

The adequate assessment and analysis of the activity of the child, the right chosen method for the child’s learning will help to avoid the problems in the future ...

Principles for an Inclusive Curriculum

The Los Niño’s Preschool program (“Chapter 2,” n.d.) conformed well to the six principles for an inclusive curriculum, which were proposed by Mallory & Rous (2009). In accordance to the first principle, which advocates for programs that are “based on a coherent and integrated conceptualization of children’s learning and development” (Mallory & Rous, 2009, p. 286), the Los Niño’s Preschool program has a curriculum that applies to both the disabled and the non-disabled students. The curriculum also successfully integrates the children’s behavior functioning (e.g. washing of hands and cleaning up), biological maturation (e.g. play time ...

Problem Solving and Collaboration

The objective of any school is to provide the best education for the students, by giving out the best services and minimizing any problem as much as possible (Bruner, 2009). However, problems in education systems are inescapable, and the best thing to do is not to run away from problem, but develop the best strategies of solving.

Trade books are various printing media including fiction books, magazines and newspapers, the primary role and purpose of which is to entertain readers.

In education, it is vital to create an appropriate curriculum development procedure whose objective is to attain a good intellectual property development in children. Concerning the above, I, therefore, seek to review the educational development for toddlers/preschoolers whose age bracket is two years to 5 years. The age is the second stage of childhood and preschools and prekindergarten, therefore, tends to be a crucial area for children's life and, later on, impact on the general life of the individual.
Given these, I henceforth seek to develop a one-week educational curriculum that spans from Monday to Friday; the expected results ...

Will there still be a need for a college campus spanning several hundred acres?

The colleges would have adopted lean organizational strategies that focus on the customer needs. Therefore, there would be no need for expansive campus complexes. The lean strategies seek to reduce wastage and optimize performance. Since technology allows virtual learning, brick and mortar buildings would have reduced usage.

Adult learning process is different from childhood learning. At this point, adults are concerned about absorbing more information at a faster pace so that whatever they learned, they can immediately apply in their lives. They come with various experiences and responsibilities, thus, they are unique in the sense that they are more self-directed, motivated, and goal-oriented (Kenner & Weinerman, 2011, p. 88). They want to be involved in the learning process, which helps them define their learning goals easily and directly.

Introduction

Every culture recognizes the importance of education to uplift the status of one's living standards. However, not everyone is given the opportunity to study due to the economic state of the family or the educational requirements needed in order to begin or continue studying in schools or universities. Other reasons such as bullying, unsafe school environments, and too much politicizing in schools, among others, also deter students' learning capacities and abilities. A method of learning that some sectors of society considers as an alternative to face-to-face instruction is home schooling, where parents take on the responsibility of educating their ...

According to me, social identity refers to the manner in, which an individual compares himself or herself with other people for categorization purposes. Social categorization considers different aspects in an individual such as his or her religion, education, personality, height, social class and culture among others. People can understand and appreciate the social identity of others by monitoring their characteristics as well as how their relationship with other people. Individual mobility is essential in social identity because it improves dissimilar characteristics of individual hence encouraging positive results.

The reasons can be generalized into; Home, community and biology. There is a relationship between prenatal exposure and emotional behaviors. The causes of the aggressiveness may be a result of depression and mood disorders. The combination of parental neglect and inconsistent expectations may have shaped this behavior. Lack of socialism in the child’s life has led to the anti-social behavior. Early intervention is critical since it is easy to teach the child at this stage (Nelson, Benner and Mooney, 2008). The mother should stop using the drugs in his presence. She should introduce him to peers, age mates and relatives. ...
