...My Philosophy of Education I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating environment in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my aspiration as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports over achieving, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment, first, the teacher acting as a guide, then, allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and finally, promoting respect for all things and all people. When the teacher's role is to guide, providing access to information rather than acting as the primary source of information, the students' search for knowledge is met as they learn to find answers to their questions. For students to create knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover for themselves and practice skills in authentic situations. Providing student’s access to hands-on activities and allowing adequate time and space to use materials that reinforce the lesson being studied creates an opportunity for individual innovation and construction of knowledge to occur. Equally important to self-discovery is having the opportunity to study things that are meaningful and relevant to one's life and interests. Developing a curriculum around student interests promotes intrinsic motivation...

...Valsamma Mathew Impact of IOM Report on Future of Nursing Grand Canyon University NRSV 430 09/16/2014 In October 2010 the Institute of Medicine (IOM), worked in concordance with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and released report called, “ Future of Nursing, leading change, Advancing Health.” The report proposed ways to improve the profession of nursing today from individual progress to bettering the national workforce as a whole. This report advocated for many changes in the practice of nursing. Such changes include enhancing nursing education to provide better quality patient care. The report also stresses the benefits of nurses actively partaking in leadership roles when treating patients. Moreover, the report suggests ways for nurses to be better practitioners at the community and national levels. Through these propositions, the IOM report has made a positive impact on the profession of nursing. The IOM report emphasizes the importance of education for nurses. The report recommends elevating the current standard of nursing education so that the basic requirement for licensure is a baccalaureate degree. The report cites that there is a positive correlation between the number of nurses with a BSN degree and improved patient outcomes. (Cronenwett, 2011), This suggests that the baccalaureate nurses are better equipped to provide quality patient care. Furthermore, IOM advises changing the existing nursing curriculum to implement focus on interpersonal collaboration...

...One way the middle class are advantaged is in terms of Income and Wealth. Stats show this disadvantage, for example, the home officer for national statistics show that the middle class original income is higher than the working class as they recieve £70,000 per year whereas the working class recieve under £10,000 per year. Studies have also shown this advantage as the Hills Report (2010) found that the household wealth of the top 10% of the population, excluded bankers/chief executives 100 times higher than that of the poorest 10%, and if the bankers/chief executives are included then top 1% possess wealth of £2.6 million+ on average. This demonstrates that in terms of wealth and income the upper class are recieve more total income available in the UK than the working class. This can result in positive results in regards to middle class life chances as the people's origins have a direct impact on their economic destinations, and these advantages/disadvantages are reinforced from generation-to-generation, so if one person had a poor life this will carry on through their family, suggesting that the rich will continue to be rich and the poor will continue to be poor. The second way the middle class are advantaged is in terms of Housing. Stats can show this advantage as 92% of those in social class 1 own homes outright or with a mortgage compared to the 14% of those who are long term unemployed, or have never worked in social class 8. This shows that the middle class are at advantage...

...Kayla Talley Bridget Walsh English 1011 6 February 2014 College Student Should Not Have to Fund Their School Expenses After high school, did you ever fear the words, “part-time job?” I think majority of graduates do; however, people like me, and many others work their life away before even beginning high school. In the article, “College and Allowance,” Silverman explains, “I know there is an allowance in my future when I head to college in a couple of years.” (Silverman 261) Silverman received an allowance because her brother, who attends Duke, did also. Although many college students today expect handouts from their parents, many of us are not as privileged to receive that same treatment, and with that comes self-responsibility. I know I could have been a better scholar had I not had two steady jobs and tried to be a “social butterfly” as well. Jobs can consume much of a student’s time when they allow it to and can highly affect your grades in the negative direction. From my person experience, students shouldn’t have to put themselves through school because being employed hinders academic performance. If you are going to make a commitment to be a student, you should push that priority to the top of the totem pole. As a previous college student, a full-time mother and employee, I know being a student is definitely a challenge. In my previous experience, I found myself putting my job in front of my studies and not to mention that my home-life was a hindering factor as...

...“ The Goddess of Education” -SARASVATHI- Sarasvathi is the person who brought me to this wonderful earth from her womb. She is my mother who had carried me along for almost nine months in her belly regardless where she goes or what she does. Her name itself carries a great meaning within it, which is “The Goddess of Education” in the Hinduism. For a woman who is 55 year old now, she has all the experiences needed by a normal human as she had gone through many stages in life which are commonly considered as hardship and difficulties by others. It all started when she was a kid. At the age of five, her father passed away. Being the fifth child out of six children in her family, she did not realise the loss as she was only a small kid by then. Since then, her eldest brother was the source of income for the whole family while my grandmother spent her time working as ‘ayyahma’ preferablely known as maid in a military officer’s house. Her early education took place in the Residensi School which is now known as S.K. Jalan Residensi. She continued her secondary education in St. George’s Girls School. Unfortunately, she did not manage to finish her schooling. Instead, she started working at the age of 15. She entered the working...

...The book “The University in Chains: Confronting the Military, Industrial and Academic Complex discusses how democracy is disappearing on university campuses across America and the rise of “ideologies and practices in militarization, corporatism and political fundamentalism” (1) is taking its place. The author gives many possible directions for hope but still his writings lack possible more in depth directions to stop this growing trend. The author defends this with discussing how this type of logic is exactly what he is fighting against. Pre-written instructions that society has become so used to that it doesn’t know what direction to go when faced with difficulty and if it wasn’t taught that way then don’t do it that way. Democracy is something we hear more and more since the beginning of the Iraq war up to the next presidential election. But one question this book asks and as scholars we must ask ourselves, “Is our society, in all aspects, really democratic?” In the first essay of the book Giroux discusses how universities have become bedfellows with the American war machine. Giving the reader a raw look at how far universities have become militarized. The beginnings can be traced back to the post-WWII years. Giroux argues that even though it has been at least 50 years since this invasion of militarism into universities, since 911 this militarism has spread beyond the walls of the university into mainstream society. The concept of militarism is the dominance of...

I had chosen this essay because; it was one that did not have an opinion. This course paper was one of the compare/contrast essay. I have never done an essay like this before this course and it was challenging. This paper really did take critical thinking and communication to the next level for me. However, challenging that it was for me I did the best that I could with the research that was available to me. FBI & CIA When people think of the FBI and CIA, they think about secret identities, spies, and security. Even when people watch movies, these two agencies are in them. These two agencies seem to work together in the movies also; they actually work together in real life. The FBI and CIA have been around for a long time but, how much do people know about the agencies that are here to protect us. Not a whole lot since they are not very publicly known. People know about these agencies but never actually know why they exist. Even though the FBI and CIA are similar government agencies, they have differences in territory, history, and job duties for the government. In the United States, the FBI has territory in all 50 states. The offices are located in either one major city; or depending on the size of the state, they may have multiple locations.

Yes this is a huge percentage of change, but even with these advancement African American women still represent less than seven percent of the total percentage of administrators. The women that do manage to break down the transparent barriers encounter countless problems throughout their career that Caucasian male or females or even African American males could even grasp. The careers of these heroines are often filled with unimaginable amounts of internal/external stressors, bouts of having to cope with being oppressed, seen as tokens or having to deal with racism and/or...

...Tam Bui Research and Writing Mary Beth Hoag 4/26/2014 Rising cost of college education People who possess a degree have a better chance of finding successful careers. However, a college education has been getting increasingly more difficult by the sky-rocketing costs of college tuition. The authors of “Administrative costs in higher education: how fast are they really growing?” state that: “The College Board says the average tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities increased by 27 percent beyond the rate of inflation over the five years from the 2008-09 academic year to 2013-14. After adjusting for inflation, the cost of tuition more than tripled between 1973 and 2013” (Hedrick et al 124). The tuition cost now becomes a cause of considerable public concern because it is very high compared to how the economy has been and how wages and financial aid have not risen with the cost of tuition. With the cost of college rising, many have asked a question: Is a college education worth the cost? Anyway, it cannot be denied that a college education always remains an important investment for the future. Tuition is usually the first thing that comes to mind when planning for higher education. It is the largest portion of the bill when attending a college or university. Tuition is a term that refers to tuition, fees, and room and board charges per student.

...Obesity 1 Obesity Ashley Wood GEN 499 Dan Hicks April 29, 2014 Obesity 2 Obesity is close to being one of the most significant health issues that children and adults are facing today. Obesity is defined as, " ...having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her weight"(Medline Plus, 2013). Being obese increases one's risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, and even some cancers. This also increases the cost in our economy. "The economic costs from the excess morbidity and mortality attributable to obesity-related diseases go beyond health-care costs alone, perhaps most notable are the consequent losses in productivity" (Wang, McPherson, Marsh, Gortmaker, & Brown, 2011). We need to be focusing on more physical activity and better eating habits. This essay will include a literature review of three scholarly sources based on obesity, explain how academic knowledge impacts social elements of local and global communities, asses how principles of active citizenship could impact the issue of obesity within the next five years, as well as share two bogs on obesity. The first literature of review on obesity is focused on guidelines and treatment for the disease. There have been numerous treatment programs but none have provided...

...Leadership and Distance Education in Higher Education: A US perspective Sonja A. Irlbeck University of Minnesota Abstract The premise of this article is that while in the US understanding is growing about the technologies and strategies needed for effective distance education in an online environment, leadership efforts remain weak. The article describes leadership for distance education, historical perspectives of leading distance education, and how the Internet has directly changed distance education efforts in US higher education institutions. The article concludes with an appraisal of how the approach of higher education leaders must change in order for distance education efforts to be successful. Keywords: change; distance education; higher education; Internet; leaders; leadership; technology; policy Leadership and Distance Education in Higher Education: A US perspective The worlds of work and education are changing, and leaders in today’s educational institutions need to determine how to effectively lead in the acquisition, development, and dissemination of information to tomorrow’s workers. Leadership is necessary to bring cohesion to the distance education arena within higher education. Drucker (1998) maintained that in the latter part of the last century, technology resulted in a transformation of the social structure. We saw the “rise and fall of the blue-collar worker” (p. 539), the rise of the industrial worker who gave way to the rise of the knowledge worker...
