The mentor response clearly elucidates how results, more than anything else, could pull people towards accepting a certain plan. Power is nothing but an ability to get things done in a manner which the person exerting the power wants it to be done. So, power does not always mean using one’s position or influence to get things done from others. The mentor, in this case, has made use of rational persuasion as a way to get things done.

The goal of the Human Resource Management (HRM) is to respect these differences and nurture the working environment in a safe and positive manner (Sparrow, 2012).

Summary of the Article

The article entitled “Interactive Writing Beyond the Primary Grades” written by Heather Wall and published in The Reading Teacher in 2008 presented crucial information that focused on interactive writing through the experiences of the author in her traditional primary grade classes. The author explained the theoretical framework for interactive writing, which reportedly originated in 1991 through a group of educators and researchers in the Ohio State University . The rudiments of interactive writing were therefore expounded to aptly describe that the writing process entailed a collaborative and participative approach through enjoining the students to write while analyzing adherence to grammatical ...

People differ in their ability to cope with the conventional education system.

However, some of the students are victims of bullying who find it hard to cope with the students in the conventional education system thus ...

Even between the best instructor and the best student, understanding is often distorted. A persons inherent believes and ideas influences his/her understanding on what is being thought or what is being explained in books (Gopee, 2008). The more the quantity of information that is thought, the less is the understanding. When we are children we depend greatly on visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic senses to understand ideas and concepts. However, as we mature we develop the ability to understand abstract concepts (Harvard Graduate School of Education, 2015). These skills develop slowly with age. Concrete concepts and ideas are easy ...
