...ADD and its imitators Lekisha Wright is a happy six-year-old little girl who started school with great enthusiasm. At school, her teacher seated her in the last row of twenty children. After two weeks of school, the teacher remarked that Lekisha was not paying attention and could not fallow directions so she decided to make the mother come for a conference. The teacher suggested the mother to take Lekisha to a doctor and see if she has ADD. Fortunately, the doctor checked first Lekisha ‘s hearing and vision and sure enough the child had a moderate hearing loss in both ears. After a treatment, Lekisha’s hearing returned to normal. (Julian Stuart Haber) The American Psychiatric Association express in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders that 3%-7% of school-aged children have ADD. The department of healt and human service states that the rates of ADHD diagnosis increased by 5.5% per year from 2003 to 2007. According to Julian Stuart Habers researched, 15% of children diagnose with ADD receive medical treatment and those can drain the learning, thinking and working ability. As we can see through those facts, more and more children are diagnosed with ADD, more and more children are being treated medically. But how many of them do really have ADD? How many of them are being misdiagnosed? A study at a center for child behavior and development in St. Louis stated that more then 30% of the children diagnosed with ADD did not meet the diagnostic criteria for...

...Coping with Learning Disabilities Stephen Odom College 100 American Military University Maureen Augustin Coping with Learning Disabilities Many people around the world suffer from some type of Learning Disability (LD). Learning disabilities affect the way people receive, process, analyze, and store information. Many types of learning disabilities have been identified over the years. They can affect many different facets of a person's life, such as concentration, focus, reading, math, or writing. Many people that are diagnosed with a learning disability have more than one. LD has always been difficult to define as a disorder, but is typically seen as “unexpected” underachievement (Swanson, Harris, and Graham 2003). There are many tools and techniques that have been developed to help these people cope with their disability. Many disabilities are diagnosed early in life when a child is noticed to have difficulty communicating effectively, speaking, reading, writing, solving a math problem, or any other task that should be performed at their appropriate age level. There are many different types of learning disabilities that have been identified. Some of the more common ones are dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. Although they are not classified as learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism also present learning difficulties. Dyslexia is the most common, and most well known, learning disability. According to Montgomery (2007), “The term...

...Do Schools and School Districts Recognize ADHD as a Learning Disability? Anne Smith University of California Riverside Do Schools and School Districts Recognize ADHD as a Learning Disability? A twelve year old boy named Mike, who fidgeted, played with small pieces of paper, paid more attention to events happening out the window then the paper on his desk. Mike has an IQ of 145, yet had a 2.4 grade point average. He could carry on intelligent, sophisticated conversations with adults who were engineers, teachers, veterinarians, and businessmen yet couldn’t pass an essay test on the book he read. His teachers and schools classified him as lazy. Let’s roll the clock forward twenty years, to another twelve year old boy named Orion, much like Mike; he too is classified as lazy, with an IQ of 139. Both boys were tested for learning disabilities and none were found but were diagnosed by psychiatrist and treated with medication for Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD). It would seem that over the past twenty years little progress has been made in recognizing ADHD as a legitimate learning disorder. One can still ask the question ‘Do schools and school Districts recognize ADHD as a learning disability?’ Research bears out that they do not fully recognize ADHD as a true learning disability. Parents still must jump through many hoops to get the necessary educational help. ADHD is considered a “neurological glitch in the...

Solis Jr. Instructor Submitted by: Bansale, Joseph B. Mendoza, Jennina L. Vega Blessed Joy A. Date submitted: September 30, 2013 I. Introduction Background of the Study Learning Management System (LMS) is responsible for “learning” activities. Online learning tasks can be performed at any time or place provided they have Internet access. Online learning environments thus differ significantly from traditional learning environments, where teachers and students must meet regularly at a specific place and time. Online learners become more free, flexible and convenient in time and location of learning. The Philippine Christian University (PCU) elementary school had truly gone a long way it had when it first opened in 1971. Today, it boasts of considerable increase in number of pupils and teachers, as well, thus fulfilling the dreams of the founders of the institution. Indeed, it is a legend turned into reality! Elementary Department indeed is pride and big assets of Philippine Christian University as a whole. Just like any other school...

...is a much needed but underrepresented resource By shifting the perspective we can better understand why this important component of learning is missing for many Americans. Disparate resources are available in abundance on the internet, so many might feel there is no need to seek out or pay for a structured learning option. Many might feel handicapped limited by their own understanding of the financial space, becoming a living illustration for ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’. Some might simply lack the discipline to carve out time to manage their finances or make and manage investment plans. We can overcome some of these challenges by creating a program with a low barrier to entry, providing a more structured learning resource, and guaranteeing that some of the program elements allow for tangible realization to serve as its own proof of concept thus allowing for continued attention devoted to financial literacy. Challenge: What is the best way to structure financial literacy programs Application of the SCAMPER technique: Substitute | Can format be changed?Can emotional stigma about financial education be changed? | Can it be taught on demand online? Can it be offered as structured courses vs. unstructured on demand info? Can it be seen as an asset rather than ‘scary big black box’? Can we get kids excited about learning about personal finance management?Can it be delivered within parameters of gamification and turned into entertainment? Can ‘quests’ be set...

...Individual Learning Styles and Influence on Teaching Jennifer L. Joslin Grand Canyon University NRS-429V Family-Centered Health Promotion January 10, 2016 Individual Learning Styles and Influence on Teaching A learning style is a description of a preference and learning styles are a range of preferences that account for differences in the way an individual learns best, or prefers to learn. The VARK questionnaire is one tool used to help learners identify their preferred learning styles. Thinking about the way one learns is a great step to understanding and improving learning. As a teacher, knowing one’s own learning styles and those learning styles of the student or target audience can be a valuable tool to improve the learning curve and creating the best quality education for your audience (Fleming & Baume, 2006). Summary of Learning Style and List of preferred Learning Strategies Using the VARK questionnaire, each letter represents a type of learning style. V stands for visual and includes preferences for learning such as charts, diagrams graphs, maps and plans. A stands for aural and examples of this preference include discussions, stories, guest speakers, and chat. R stands for read/write and examples of this preference include lists, notes, and text in all formats whether in print or online.

...the application of lean management practices is organizational learning perspective. This perspective focuses on the most value input as known as knowledge. Organizational learning is founded on the idea that organizational effectiveness depends on the organization’s capacity to acquire, share, use, and store valuable knowledge (Mcshane & Von Glinow, 2012). Sunderland Royal hospital engages in organizational learning perspective through learning lean management from external knowledge. Sunderland’s employees took tour at Nissan Factory to acquire and share knowledge from Nissan work plant, and later they applied and stored knowledge in their work unit. Employees always play critical role in this process and they are important intellectual capital of learning organizations. They can use and share knowledge through the process by mapping out their work process and identifying ways to reduce waste process. As Sunderland’s employees discovered ways to reduce average patient’s wait time, they can improve efficiency and quality service. Also, many other health care around the world apply lean management in their organization by receiving lean training from Japan. Flinders Medical center also learned and adopted lean knowledge after seeing South Australian Medical Facility experienced problem of overload patients in its emergency department.

...Jennifer Flewelling, a teacher and principal, says, “the optimal conditions for academic success require that students come to school physically, mentally, and emotionally available for learning” (Flewelling, 2016, para. 4). This might sound easy to most students, but for someone with ADHD it sounds nearly impossible. “A child who can’t seem to sit still, who blurts out answers in class without raising his hand, who doesn’t finish his homework, who seems to be daydreaming when the teacher gives instructions—these are well-known symptoms of ADHD” (Miller, 2018, para. 2). This sort of behavior in school can cause a student’s grades to plummet or result in the student getting in trouble. Because of ADHD, a student is not able to reach their full potential and reach the academic standing they desire; this is most likely result of the inattentive aspect of...

...Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning at Turner Construction Co. By Emma Skogstad How does Turner Construction Co., a partner in APQC’s Integrating Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning study and the largest commercial builder in the United States with 6,000 employees and offices in almost every major city across the country, ensure its employees have access to the training and tacit knowledge they need to perform their jobs? According to James Mitnick, a senior vice president at Turner, the organization focuses on performance-based learning. Performance, he says, is where learning, knowledge, and collaboration intersect. The Turner knowledge network is the enabler that brings those three components together to drive performance. The philosophy of the Turner knowledge network is: “to provide access to learning and knowledge across the company in a consistent and organized format to assist in the development, recruitment, and retention of staff.” History of the Turner Knowledge Network In 1999 Turner was acquired by Hochtief AG1, a German-based construction services provider. At the time, Turner’s new chairman, Tom Leppert, approached Mitnick with a vision for expanding the organization by aligning the learning and business strategies. Leppert believed this alignment was necessary to achieve the growth goals he set out for the organization: to expand by 15 to 20 percent each year--meaning the organization would have to add between 500 to 1,000 new engineers annually...
