...High School Education Vs. College Education High school and college are both learning institutions. Having an education plays a very important role in our lives. Some people assume that high school and college are a like because they’re both places to receive an education. There are similarities in high school and college, but numerous differences. A college education is more challenging than a high school education. My high school education was fairly easy. After being out of school for 10 years, I decided to enroll in college. Although my high school education was fairly easy, trying to receive my college education is challenging. Receiving my college education is challenging because I have to deal with time management, being responsible and attending class. Time management plays an important role in receiving my college education. Time is one thing you can’t get back. In high school, I followed the schedule I was given at the beginning of the school year. I had plenty of time to study and complete my work. On the other hand, in college, my adviser helped me select a schedule according to my daily life. I have to make time to study and do my assignments; now that I’m in college. I’m a single mother ,so I have to help my children with there homework , prepare dinner, and get them ready for bed. Because I have a lot to do on a daily basis, the time management tip I use is prioritizing. I make a list and do the most important activity first ;then I go down the...

...1 Teenagers’ Reasons for Listening to Music and the Students’ Perception of the Effects of Listening When Completing School Assignments1 Jennifer Adriano Educational Leadership Doctoral Program Thomas DiPaola Educational Leadership Doctoral Program Center for Research and Evaluation The Alan Shawn Feinstein Graduate School Johnson & Wales University 1 Paper presented at the 42nd annual meeting of the New England Educational Research Organization, April, 2010, Portsmouth, NH. 2 Introduction Music is a significant part of our lives. People listen to music on the radio at home and in their car; they watch music videos on television or hand held technology; they buy CDs or download music; and they attend concerts. People also hear music in stores, restaurants, sporting events, and doctors’ offices (Schellenberg, Peretz, & Vieillard, 2008). Music is very important to many adolescents and they spend a considerable amount of their time listening to music. One study with N = 2,465 adolescents ages 13 and 14 found that participants listened to music for an average of 2.45 hours per day (North, Hargreaves, & O’Neill, 2000). Music has become a personal accompaniment in many teenagers’ lives because of the availability and popularity of personal music listening devices. In 2009, Jaffray released the results from the 18th semi-annual survey, “taking stock with teens.” The team of researchers surveyed approximately N = 1,200 students, with an average age of 16.3, in...

...organization provider that offers high-quality educational, vocational, and training services to various segments of the local population. In response to the increasing dropout rate of high school students in the local community and a worsening financial situation at the local school district, the organization is considering the opportunity to offer basic skills and vocational training programs in the community. The purpose of this new program is to equip high school dropouts with necessary skills needed to gain potential employment opportunities. As an executive director, justify the reasoning behind this new program and develop a complete launch plan, including a budget and consideration of environmental factors. You must determine how data will be used to support the new program and consider human resources issues affecting this new program. The organization has these issues to consider: • The local economy situation is depressed due to steady job losses resulting from employers relocating to other cities and communities that offer better economic incentives to employers. As a result, local property taxes that support funding of high school programs have declined singifantly in recent years. The reduction has caused the local school district to lose significant financial resources to retain good teachers or fill vacant teachers’ positions. • In the last two years the high school dropout rate had climbed to 15% from 5%. The local school district along with state agencies...

...have learned a lot from doing online classes. In high school, I didn't learn as much as I am learning now. I believe the long-term results and the value of completing a degree in higher education is standard. A higher education can successfully help you improve as an individual. As an adult, there are a lot of rules and regulations of having an higher education and making more money as well. Having a higher education can be move money that you can make such as, having a high school diploma you will have a job pay no more than $10.00 an hour. With an associate degree or higher you will make between $14 to $25 an hour. For my personal plan for my academic and career future, is to give all the potential I have. There is going to be some challenges ahead, but what if you don’t take the risk; you aren’t ready for any future challenges ahead. Completing a degree in a higher education will help you academically and professionally. Academically, you will find yourself becoming more educated than ever. Professionally, you can see yourself having more financial offers as for employers willing to hire you. If you have enough knowledge, you would know when going on a job interview you should have a resume` present. The three reflections that I really enjoyed throughout the nine weeks of this course are: critical thinking, goal setting, and personal learning style. I have learned a lot of material that I didn’t really absorb in high school. Personal learning style helped me notice the...

...Teresa Flanagan Individual Transition Plan Shenandoah University Transitions for Students with Disabilities SED 575 June 25, 2014 Individual Transition Plan OVERVIEW: Student J is a 14-year-old eighth grader at Seneca Ridge Middle School. He was found eligible for special education services in September 2008 as a student with Other Health Impairment (OHI) and a secondary label of an emotional disability (ED). When student J was in his late elementary school years he experienced inability to interact with his peers and maintain social relationships, and was observed shutting down and displaying self-destructive behaviors. There were interventions and accommodations implemented in elementary school including a behavioral plan, which was revised each year he was in middle school, based on what his interests were which were used as the motivators and rewards he would receive for displaying appropriate behavior and completing work. Student J became academically successful and was showing great progress at the end of seventh grade. During his 8th grade year he went through the reevaluation process and was found continued eligible under the same primary and secondary labels. The areas of concern for Student J were identified as problems with using appropriate language, and the same behaviors of shutting down when he was experiencing frustration. This cased a lack of progress in content subject areas during his eighth grade year. Student J receives special education services...

...LaRuth Ensley ENG 090 10-22-2012 Changing Our Lives Essay We all want success, money, and happiness right? Would a college education not be the key to having all of those things? Returning to school now would ensure that I could have money, with a successful job and happiness in the gratification of completing my degree, all the while, setting a stellar example for my daughter, making my family proud and allowing me the opportunity to obtain a college degree. All of this is essential positive things to add to this journey called life. I was once the young high school graduate with bright eyes and a promising future going to college. I enrolled in a large local University and started my journey to arming myself with the necessary tools to have a stellar career. After the initial shock of freedom and adulthood, two years later, I found myself socially at the top of my game, but educationally the dean had placed me the former 3.8 high school student on academic probation. I was now struggling to make the grade in college. I now know that I was not focused, or driven, my priorities were not intact and the entire long-term goal to me was just a fleeting futuristic challenge. The importance of college had not set in and therefore it appeared I was paying to go to school to become a better social butterfly. My parents did not seem to find the importance of that concept and therefore quickly enhanced my introduction to the “real world” and what life was all about. As...

...reality is, many if not all school goers despise the dreaded work that takes place after classes, especially when it is unnecessary and papers are continually being piled high one on top of the next. In the end of the day, the work will not become completed and many hours of the student’s time will have vanished. The act of assigning rigorous tasks to students during their pause of school restricts them from having down-time with their family and prompts the lack of enthusiasm for wanting to learn as well as frustration and dissatisfaction. Firstly, completing various assignments at home limits the period of relaxation students have to be associated with their families. In “The Case For and Against Homework”, the authors Robert Marzano and Debra Pickening provide evidence as to how "too much homework harms students’ health and family time.” The pressure of finishing a project or multiple worksheets in one night’s time causes extreme fatigue and having relations with family is unwanted after an exhausting day at school or nearly impossible to achieve. Accomplishing healthy correlations with people around the student...

...students from completing their schoolwork. I am a prime example of this. Before I created any social networking accounts, I had straight A’s and had much more free time than I knew what to do with. Now however, I use social media frequently and it has eaten up my time and concentration. I began to complete my homework at school in the mornings before classes because I concluded that talking to my “friends” and seeing who was posting what was more important than my schoolwork. This behavior began to cause my grades to plummet. Realizing what I was doing to myself, I decided to make a change. I do not check my social networking accounts as much as I used to and my grades reflect it! After long contemplation, I realized that I couldn’t be the only one that had this horrible habit of putting social media before education; someone else absolutely had to do it as well. I had many questions in my head about why such a thing would happen with others. “Do they do it because of boredom? What if they focus more on it because their friends do?” After testing 30 students at Frederick Douglass High School with the amount of time spent on social media as the independent variable and the condition of the grades as a result being the dependent variable, I found my theory to be correct. The more these students used social media, the lower their grades were. They reported that they spent time completing homework at school, spent more time on social media than they did completing schoolwork...

...volunteering, donating blood, and voting (Is College Worth It?). Gasper Caperton, college board president said, “The report shows that students who attend college obtain a wide range of personal, financial, and other lifelong benefits" (Caperton). Also, young people with college degrees are also more likely to be married, less likely to live at their parents' home and more likely to be satisfied with their jobs. Another lifestyle benefit is health insurance and a retirement plan. Only 50% of non-college graduates had access to employer-provided health insurance compared to 70% of college graduates. As for retirement plans, 70% of college graduates had access to retirement plans, whereas only 55% of high school graduates had access, and 30% for those who did not complete high school. Showing all of the lifestyle benefits and how it increases benefit by going to college is another reason that attending college is a wise...

...Schools across the world have such an early start time and little do they know how it’s affecting their students. In my communities case, it’s waking up around 5 or 6 in the morning and being in class by 7:25. If you take the bus to school you are up before most students. Most students are up until late night or early morning completing school assignments. This also plays a part in the early starting times. School effects when you go to sleep, the number of hours you get when you sleep and when you have to wake up. And no, it’s not procrastination causing these late nights. Students are involved in afterschool activities, work, sports and other events. The first bell at school rings too early and should be pushed to later in the morning. If this happens, students will be getting the amount of sleep they need each night, better grades will appear and they will be much healthier. It’s been proven with science that lack of sleep makes learning difficult. When you don’t get enough sleep your thought process slows down and your memory gets impaired. School can be hard enough for students and the lack of sleep makes it even worse. If we started at a later time students would be able to sleep longer. More sleep means better...

......and I am thirty-eight years old. I have been with my husband for almost twenty years and we have three children ages 19, 17, and 10. I was a young mother and regrettably, a high school dropout. If my memory serves me correctly, the last math class I remember successfully completing was back in 1991 when I was in the eighth grade. I did take algebra my freshman year, but due to leaving high school early, I never really learned much in that class. The instructor for that course was my favorite math teacher, and his name was Mr. Hernon. He did not necessarily have the best teaching methods, but he did not fail one student in his class. He saw every one of his student’s potential and went above and beyond to help us out. In fact, I remember when he would walk around the classroom while we were testing and should he see that one of our answers were incorrect, he would point to the question and ask, “Are you sure about this one?” I think he did this in order to prompt us to ask for help, in which he would eagerly assisted should we accept his offer. Math is not one of my favorite subjects and I have found it difficult to comprehend once there were letters introduced into it. When I was a teenager, I was not very motivated and I had no one to push me in the right direction to become successful, so school was not my number one priority. Now that I am older and matured, I have set better standards for myself and failure is not an option! Although this is a required course, it is my...
