...creativity is at the heart of the school’s standards which appear to be continually improving the holistic needs of the children, in turn impacting performance. I will look closely at three national initiatives and assess their effectiveness: The Creative Partnership Scheme, Investors in pupils and SEAL: social, emotional, aspects of learning. I will then look at how the school incorporates aspects of faith within the context of children’s daily learning. The school incorporates other initiatives; however, I believe the aforementioned three to be the most relevant to the school’s aims and pivotal to their continued improvement. I will incorporate other sources of information which will include educational literature, publications, government documents, reports, theories and concepts. I have gathered evidence through independent observation and discussion with the class teacher in order to understand more about the impact of holistic needs on children. During my time at school A, I have utilised observation of children to understand how impacts take effect in different contexts. To conclude, I will identify implications that potentially could impact my future development as a...

...A critical component of validity is reliability. Validity embodies not only what positive outcomes a selection approach may predict, but also how consistently(i.e., reliably) it does so. In this chapter we will (1) review ways of improving the consistency or reliability of the selection process; (2) discuss two methods for measuring validity; and (3) present two cases that illustrate these methods. First, however, let’s consider a legal issue that is closely connected to validity: employment discrimination. Avoiding Discrimination Charges Avoiding content errors Reducing rater inconsistency VALIDITY OF SELECTION METHODS Validity refers to the quality of a measure that exists when the measure assesses a construct. In the selection context, validity refers to the appropriateness, meaningfulness, and usefulness of the inferences made about applicants during the selection process. It is concerned with the issue of whether applicants will actually perform the job as well as expected based on the inferences made during the selection process. The closer the applicants' actual job performances match their expected performances, the greater the validity of the selection...

...Values, Beliefs, Clinical Gestalt with Individuals, and Systems University of Phoenix I am learning as much as I can about myself through the journal entries, exercises, and team discussion questions to better myself as a future therapist or clinician. To be productive and effective I must recognize, and accept my strengths and weaknesses with an attitude of striving for excellence. I have learned a great deal about myself and the areas where I can improve in the clinical setting. I realize that with improvement there will be challenges. I will overcome these challenges by utilizing the knowledge I am obtaining in these series of classes. My Values and Beliefs All the choices and decisions I have made in my life are based on my values and belief system. My parents strived to teach me the best values and to instill wholesome values. I was raised to always know a person can not be judged on what is seen, but by what you learn of them. In a clinical atmosphere I believe I can put these lessons to use. I know not to judge a person based on their situation as each person has a story that has led to where they are today in life. There are certain issues that I have an opinion about that I know I will have to set aside in order for my client to benefit. A few of these issues are abortion, molestation, rape, and murder. Realize every situation has a story behind it and I need to be able to hear the story so that I can help my client in need. My Clinical...

...Canterbury Boys’ High School English 2014/15 Advanced Course The following information gives an outline of the Year 12 Advanced English Program for the HSC tested in 2015. The syllabus states that: The aim of Senior English is to enable students to understand, use, enjoy and value the English language in its various textual forms and to become thoughtful, imaginative and effective communicators in a diverse and changing society. The study of English involves exploring, responding to and composing texts • in and for a range of personal, social, historical, cultural and workplace contexts • using a variety of language modes, forms, features and structures. Meaning is achieved through responding and composing, which are typically interdependent and ongoing processes. In Year 12 time is allocated to certain issues and texts based on the time needed to cover the Board of Studies’ requirements for the fulfilment of the English outcomes. This program is based on the premise that: • students are required to experience literature in a variety of modes (short story, novel, poetry, non-fiction, film and drama) • there should be a continuing study of non-literary material (print and non-print, multi-media) • students should be encouraged to develop reading interests outside the classroom • there will be a continuing emphasis on oral English in class discussions, small group discussions, debating, public speaking, interviewing, dramatic reconstructions ...

...Homework #2 43. Measurements of a certain system have shown that the average process runs for a time T before blocking on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is effectively wasted (overhead). For round-robin scheduling with quantum Q, give a formula for the CPU efficiency for each of the following: a. Q=∞ Answer: No involuntary context switches will occur. Each process will pay 1 context switch per CPU burst. Efficiency=TT+S b. Q>T Answer: As long as the quantum Q is larger than T, then no involuntary context switches will occur. Efficiency=TT+S c. S<Q<T Answer: Efficiency=QQ+S d. Q=S Answer: Efficiency=QQ+S=Q=50% e. Q nearly 0 Answer: Efficiency=0% 44. Five jobs are waiting to be run. Their expected run times are 9, 6, 3, 5, and X. In what order should they be run to minimize average response time?

...COMP3361 Operating Systems I Mid-term Review and Study Guide Basic Concepts: What is an operating system? A program that acts as an intermediary between a user of a computer and the computer hardware - basic functions? 1.) OS is a resource allocator 2.) manages all resources 3.) decides between conflicting requests for efficient and fair resource use 4.) OS is a control program 5.) controls execution of programs to prevent errors and improper use of the computer 6.) a program running at all times on the computer, usually called the kernel 7.)everything else is either a a.) system program: associated with the OS but not part of the kernel b.) application program: not associated with the OS user/kernel modes of operation? 1.) The operating system must ensure correct operation of the computer system. To prevent user programs from interfering with the proper operation of the system, the hardware has two modes: user mode and kernel mode. Various instructions (such as I/0 instructions and halt instructions) are privileged and can be executed only in kernel mode. 2.) Kernel Mode In Kernel mode, the executing code has complete and unrestricted access to the underlying hardware. It can execute any CPU instruction and reference any memory address. Kernel mode is generally reserved for the lowest-level, most trusted functions of the operating system. Crashes in kernel mode are catastrophic; they will halt the entire PC. 3.) User Mode In User mode...

Key words * Blocked state- a process that cannot execute until some events occur, such as the completion of an I/O operation. * Exit state- a process that has been released from the pool of executable process by the OS, either because it halted or because aborted from some reason. * New state- a process that has just been created but has not yet been admitted to the pool of executable process by the OS. * Ready state- a process that is prepared to execute when given the opportunity * Running state- the process that is currently being executed * Mode switch- a hardware operation that occur that causes the processor execute in a different mode (kernel process). When the mode switches from process to kernel, the program counter, processor status word, and other registers are saved. When the mode switches from kernel to process, this information is restored * Process image- collection of program, data, stacks, attributes, a process will consist the memory to hold the programs and data of the process. Execution of a program typically involves stacks used to keep track of procedure calls and procedures passing by procedures. The location of a process image will depend on the memory management scheme being used. * Process switch- an operation that switches the processor form one process to another, by saving all the process control block, register, and other information for the first and replacing them with...

...A Road Map Through Nachos Thomas Narten Department of Computer Sciences Levine Science Research Center Duke University Box 90129 Durham, N.C. 27708-0129 narten@cs.duke.edu January 4, 1995 Abstract Nachos is instructional software that allows students to examine, modify and execute operating system software. Nachos provides a skeletal operating system that supports threads, user-level processes, virtual memory and interrupt-driven input output devices. Nachos is a complex piece of software and it is di cult for beginning students (and instructors) to easily gain on overall understanding of the various system pieces and how they t together. This document provides a road map to understanding the Nachos system. It gives a high-level overview of the source code, focusing on the big picture rather than on the details. It is not intended as a replacement for reading the source code. Rather, it is a companion that is intended to help students (and instructors) overcome the initial learning curve encountered when learning and using the system.
