...The course Reading and Writing across the curriculum was expectedly an eye opener for me. As per usual with courses taught by Dr. Saul and Mrs. Rock, I expected to be involved in activities which showed the importance of reading and writing across all subject matter in the curriculum. My first thoughts of reading and writing were that it was linked exclusively to Language Arts but this course has shown the importance of reading and writing throughout the curriculum. The first topic that intrigued me was Chall’s Stages of Reading Development. These six (6) stages show step by step the process of reading development a child undertakes straight up to adulthood. By having an understanding of these stages and the characteristics that children portray in each, a teacher can effectively cater to the needs of the children. For example, in the first stage, the Pre-Reading Stage, aged six (6) months to (6) years, children garner information via being read to by an adult, who responds to and warmly appreciates the child’s interest in books and reading and via play with books, pencils, paper and blocks. This stage creates a foundation for reading and writing as children identify letters and understand words they hear even though they can read few if any at all. Teachers or adults can let children choose books of interest and read them to them consistently to aid in retention of knowledge. Knowledge of Chall’s Stages of Reading Development is also immensely useful when dealing with children...

...Kayla Pryce Professor Clark March 25, 2016 Newsletters I decided to analyze the Business of Fashion newsletter. I really enjoyed the components contained within the newsletter. I was able to see the magazine elements and blog similarities. A newsletter is a bulletin issued periodically to the members of a society, business, or organization. It is generally about one main topic that is of interest to its subscribers. General features of newsletters include news and upcoming events of the related organization, as well as contact information for general studies. Newsletters are the most mis-used marketing tool around. The Business of Fashion use of newsletters are very effective. The Business of Fashion newsletter use it to reveal worldwide clothing, spread the news of particular designers, and wardrobes. It is an essential daily resource for fashion creatives, executives and entrepreneurs in many countries. Newsletters such as “The Business of Fashion” are seen as an addiction. Some people wake up and the first thing they do is read. Some newsletters are a required read. The audience is anyone who would benefit from the information the newsletter contains. The Business of Fashion newsletter began as a project of passion, aiming to target the informed, questioning and opinionated point of view on the fashion business. This target audience can be rich businesses in the Fashion Industry, celebrities who participate in filling their closets with fancy worldwide accessories...

...small, for-profit preschool program for young children between the ages of two and four for several decades. FF was one of several privately run programs in the suburban Boston area. For each of the three age groups (i.e., two-, three- and four- year olds), there were two classes per day for a total of six classes in the facility each day. The classes were held both in the morning and in the afternoon, five days a week between September and June; there were approximately 200 days (40 weeks), or 1,200 class meetings, per year. Only about one- third of FF's local competitors offered classes during the summer months. The morning classes ran from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and the afternoon meetings ran from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Lunch was not served in either class. However, each class served a snack to the children. Class size varied from nine to 15 students per class. Although there was a lot of pressure from parents to reduce class sizes, a recent article in an industry newsletter showed that, given current demographics, the market for such programs could increase by 10% a year for the next five years. The year before, a parent suggested that the school begin hosting birthday parties on the weekend. Since FF's three classrooms were empty during this time, it seemed like a good use of the space and could generate additional revenue. Over the past year, the school had managed to quickly build a sizable side business hosting birthday parties. Approximately 150 parties were held...

...1. What is the simplest SQL retrieval? The simplest versions of the most important SQL command are SELECT, FROM statement. Then if you need to limit the result you introduce the WHERE clause. In the WHERE clause you can use operators such as LIKE, AND, OR, EQUAL, BETWEEN and IN. 2. What is the purpose of the Where clause when using SELECT? The purpose of this clause is to be able to list any conditions that are to be applied to the data retrieved. 3. What are data types and why are they important?

...In a classroom setting, discipline and management are two key components for classroom success. The term classroom management is often used interchangeably with the term classroom discipline. However, the two ideas are very different in their application. Management and discipline are two halves of the same coin, they are intrinsicly connected to each other, but they have their own individual properties, with their own look and feel. Classroom management deals with how things in a class are done. Classroom management is the sole responsibility of the teacher. It encompasses all of the teacher’s interactions with students, classroom environment, rules and procedures, instructional strategies and development of engaging work. In a well managed classroom, the teacher implements policies and develops routines that stabilize and direct the flow of a class. Effective teachers manage their classes so that students spend their time more productively. Elements of classroom management vary. No two classes are alike. However the foundational elements a teacher takes into account before students ever set foot in the build can lend to better classroom management. Things such as classroom layout and organization.A neat and organized classroom tells your students you mean business and you expect them to keep the classroom organized as well. Deciding how to divide up classroom time is another important aspect to classroom management.Lunch, recess, breaks, down-time between lessons and activities...

...Women My psychology class meets every Thursday morning. It is a small class of five students and one instructor. Being in such a small class was unsettling at first because I felt I could not be overlooked by the instructor. I have gotten accustomed to bigger classes where I would blend into the crowd and just be a name in the instructor’s book. Over the last three weeks, I have observed my classmates and my instructor and have learned a thing or two about them. I have also realized how being in a smaller class is actually much more pleasant than previously anticipated. Our classroom is fairly big considering the size of the class. There are eight tables with four chairs at each table. The walls are tasteless, showing only one poster advertising Bryant & Stratton’s impeccable ability to create the world’s best workforce. The teacher’s corner sits at the front of the room while the projector screen hangs on the left wall. Because this is a small class, this poses no problems but I can imagine the seating dilemma if the room were actually full while using the projector system. Mr. Streett is the instructor for this class, a recent graduate from Radford University with a Master’s of Art in Experimental Psychology. He speaks quickly repeating short sentences rephrased but implying the same meaning to help his students grasp the concept being taught. Though he seems to know his stuff, he comes to class unprepared, taking the first 30 minutes of class to make copies...

...Java Class MIS 304 is not a class for everyone. Not just any student should take the class. This class is structured to assist students in learning how to program using the Java language. This class does not make a student an expert in the language of Java, but instead gives the student the basic fundamentals needed to have practical use of the language and gives them a solid foundation upon which they can build if they choose to do so. The material covered in the class is adequate. Java can be a complex language to learn, but in MIS 304 one is taught the basics and nothing too detailed or complicated. The resources that are given to the students are very good. I know that the Java book used for the class is one of the best reference materials on Java that is on the market today. The lab facilities and proctors are also great resources. The only problem I feel that exists is that students don’t take advantage of the resources they have available. Students hardly look through their book for answering questions they might have. Also students hardly even bring their books to the lab when doing programs. They sometimes look for proctors to fix their problems instead of fixing it themselves. I think it should be emphasized to students that the proctors are not their to do the programs for them, but to rather help them figure out what is going wrong in their programs. Also it should be emphasized that the book should be with them when working on programs so that if questions or...

...similar to a class, which can contain only constants, method signatures, and nested types. There are no method bodies. Interfaces cannot be instantiated—they can only be implemented by classes or extended by other interfaces. In Java, a class can inherit from only one class but it can implement more than one interface. | Superclass Instance Method | Superclass Static Method | Subclass Instance Method | Overrides | Generates a compile-time error | Subclass Static Method | Generates a compile-time error | Hides | An abstract class is a class that is declared abstract. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated, but they can be subclassed. It can contain abstract methods that did not have implemented. Subclasses then provide the implementations for the abstract methods. An abstract method is a method that is declared without an implementation (without braces, and followed by a semicolon), like this: Except for the Object class, a class has exactly one direct superclass. A class inherits fields and methods from all its superclasses, whether direct or indirect. A subclass can override methods that it inherits, or it can hide fields or methods that it inherits. (Note that hiding fields is generally bad programming practice.) The Object class is the top of the class hierarchy. All classes are descendants from this class and inherit methods from it. Useful methods inherited from Object include toString(), equals(), clone(), and getClass(). You can prevent a class from being...
