In the book of Ecclesiastes, the author, often called “the Teacher” discusses the results of his life’s pursuit of both worldly success and wisdom. Through his discussion, he expresses the need to temper one’s life with the goal of the afterlife in mind.

Teaching has been regarded as one of the most respectable professions with a pronounced purpose, of passing the knowledge to those who seek. It plays a crucial role in their overall development. As Barack Obama puts it, “The single most important factor in determining [student] achievement is not the colour of their skin or where they come from. It’s not who their parents are or how much money they have. It’s who their teacher is.” A good teacher will need talent and abilities, both refined and cultured. Teaching can be a “creative art” no matter what’s the subject that ...

It has been determined throughout history, education should be viewed as a fundamentally moral and political enterprise, where the cultivation of moral agency is central to the educational aims. The idea of education following moral and political enterprise should make it clear history should be void of fallacies, but in reality it is quite clear this is not the case, and that history is told from the perspective or viewpoint of the victor. “The Wars” written by Timothy Findley was originally published in 1977, and since then, it has been translated into nine different languages.

It was a Saturday, and here I was, walking along what should have been, a resplendent beach, like I have been doing for the past few years.

Background

One of the biggest problems facing qualitative research in the field of education is how to be certain that the quality presented by the research is trustworthy. It is often too common to assume that the quality of research presents itself a powerful knowledge that is too convincing in its own right. However, this is not supposed to be the case as qualitative research studies have to be subjected to critical evaluation using criteria in order to justify its value. Whenever qualitative research studies are evaluated for the quality of their value, it helps to eliminate unnecessary criticism from ...

Dear Mr. Buffett:
Can anyone believe that in the American city of Chicago, on an ordinary morning 5,700 children endure a shocking surprise in 190 classrooms at not finding a teacher (Kozol)? What about the stark truth that there are still schools in Chicago helplessly witnessing 700 unlucky children sharing 2 bathrooms, not to mention the strict rations enforced on using toilet papers and towels? One public school in Chicago still conducts classes for the children in an abandoned roller rink with not even a single encyclopedia, leaving a rare exceptional teacher to buy teaching ...

There can be no doubt that students perform better on tests when they study and understand the material beforehand. However, it is students often retain academic information better when linked to real world experiences and cross curriculum studies. This leaves a teacher with a dilemma; to what extent should teachers design the classroom instruction and assessments so that they align with state standards and assessments? Assuming that aligning classroom instruction with testing and assessment standards is effective, a corollary then is to determine to what extent students perform better on their assessment tests when teachers improve their curriculum alignment. This is especially ...

Introduction
Getting nominated for the “Hall of Fame” is a great recognition and honor for any American. The origin of its conception has great relevance in the context of equality, justice, freedom, and respect for human values. It is in the 1890s, that the Rev.

It was the brainchild of this visionary who had concerns for prostitution, democracy and the Roman Empire that culminated in a "Parnassus" - a centre of importance.

The playground is a place where children feel free to act and behave however they like. T.J. came across as a very social child, who had respect and concern for others, because he apologized for running into his teacher by mistake, also let another child ride with ...

1. In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, schoolmaster Albus Dumbledore says, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." How do you interpret this statement in light of what you know about motivation?

I think this statement contains so much wisdom. One’s character – which is made up of individual choices – defines who the person is more than how much he can do in life because of his abilities. For instance, a person may be very skilled in the use of technology. He is so adept in ...
