...Issue of Extending The Traditional School Calendar Can you believe the recent arguments about schools throughout The United States? States have had many arguments on the academic school year length. Many people would argue that shortening the academic school year length is a wonderful choice: however extending the academic school year is more beneficial. Shortening the school year will hinder a student's education and overall readiness for the world. The academic school year should be extended for not only more academic learning time, but to better our students for the global world if The United States is to remain a dominant economy in our world. Our traditional school calendar was designed for the earlier time periods of The United States’ farming economy as stated in “ Shortchanged by the Bell”(Ubinas & Gabrieli.) . With the school’s calendar schedule of 180 days, six and a half hour days of school ( Nisen.), it is not enough to comply with today’s high-tech economy. This upholds the need for more academic learning time. With the 30 minutes to an hour class periods, students are unable to learn and understand all material they should know by the end of the school year. Ideally, increasing learning by 30 percent would mean more individualized support and a more well-rounded education in a broader array of subjects (Ubinas & Gabrieli.) . Particularly at Mundy’s Mill High School the time for first period needs to be extended. Especially if you have math...

...Teachers for America Megan Hopkins talks about these changes in this article. The first change would be extending the program’s two year commitment to three years is one change. Secondly, require all first year members to complete a residency year in an experienced teacher’s classroom within their placement district at placement grade level. Thirdly, cluster Teach for America residents at higher performing urban schools so they are still in urban settings but in a school community that provides a positive culture and support. Fourthly, offer courses through a university partner for first year cops members to obtain certification and a master’s degree. Fifthly, provide incentives to teach longer than three years. The incentives could be a range of things but corps members should really stay involved longer than two years. I think staying more than two years will allow time to get in the groove of teaching, allow for more experience, learning, growing, and perhaps falling in love with teaching and wanting teaching to be their profession. I think Teach for America would benefit from these changes greatly. These changes would make it more like the regency model and would allow for higher quality in teachers. I sincerely do not believe that Teach for America is doing anything good for our students at this current time with the low quality education they are providing our schools. It is not these teachers’ faults however. They are doing the best they can with what they are given; and...

...to terms with what the youth have thrown at them on the daily. It seems to be that teachers do not realize the amount of workload students have on a daily basis. The typical day of a student is as follows: wake up, go to school for seven hours, (usually) go to practice for two hours, go home, and then do homework until they can no longer keep their eyes open. When walking through the halls, many fatigued students can be seen. Recently, students have been putting homework over their own health, which is utterly astonishing. Teachers expect their homework to be done for the next day the night that it is assigned. Yet, teachers fail to realize that students are not robots; students have practices to go to, games to play, and family to visit....

...foundation upon which our educational system today was built. Horace Mann Horace Mann is credited with creating the first state board of education in 1837, whereby schools were managed by a state system. He was a leader in the Common School Movement and believed that teaching standards were in great need of improvement and that teachers should be paid better. He brought a great deal of focus onto current school conditions and prompted discussions on ways to improve them. Because of him, school conditions were improved and better equipped. Mr. Mann was fundamental in helping to instigate teacher training institutions (known as normal schools) and considerably successful in raising the standards of not just schools, but colleges as well. He has been referred to as “The Father of American Education”, (gcumedia.com, 2012). His philosophy was that it was contingent upon the state to make sure all children were provided the opportunity to receive an education.

Nearly 50% of all Indian children are undernourished, whether we use the weigh-for-age or height-for-age criterion. Although there has been some improvement in educational indicators in recent times, the goal of universal elementary education remains quite far, especially in context of girls. Wider awareness of these issues has led to significant initiatives such as the recognition of elementary education as a fundamental right, the introduction of an “educational cess” and the launch of “Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan” (SSA). Another major intervention is the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (hereinafter “MDMS”),which was launched in 1995 with the aim of giving a boost to “universalization of primary, by increasing enrolment, retention and attendance and simultaneously impacting on nutrition of students in primary classes. (Sinha) The practice of providing meals in primary schools goes...

...with teachers and efforts by the early childhood education programs to discussion groups. Responsibility for Learning Outcomes speaks to how parents can support the language and literacy development of their children through direct parent-teaching activities such as reading aloud and engaging in linguistically rich conversations with their children. Teacher’s I nvolvement in the Academic of the Learner Mary Chamberlain (2002) said that that great teacher make a difference. They have passion that seeps through the skin- a love of learning. Great progress (‗a revolution‘) was made but a working hum and engagement is now not enough. What are now needed are quality learning conversations between teachers and learners. It is about extending rather than supervising, about linking to the child‘s world, about creating lines of desires, about not seeing the curriculum as a straightjacket. The curriculum it seems is more a direction. ―Appreciate that learning isn‘t always fun‘ – a good teacher knows when to push‘ – some learning may be uncomfortable‘ - really good teachers do this in skilled way.‘ The ‗x‘ factor is enthusiasms- an enthusiasm and zest for teaching is critical‖, John Langley (2002) emphasized. ― A danger is that teachers are bogged down with curricula‘. The best teachers can assess the needs of their kids‘ - it is worrying in recent years that curricula have become the dominant things‘ - a conduit for shoveling information‘ - this is not...

...The Role of Information and Communication Technology in Language Teaching and Learning In University Education Introduction: In 2000, Nigeria developed a policy on Information Technology (IT), with the aim of making Nigeria an IT adapted country in Africa and also a leading player in the use of ICT as an implement for sustainable development and global competitiveness. Since then Information and Communication Technology has been on the lips of every academic. The world is about to leave behind anyone that is not ICT compliant. ICT has various forms and roles which it performs in learning, especially in the teaching and learning of language. It is a powerful tool which can take the form of texts, pictures, tables, graphs, emails, fax, chat groups, discussion groups, SMSs, socializing portals, dictionaries, e-encyclopaedia, Power Point presentations, websites and audio-videos, etc. It can play instructional roles which include making learners feel more relaxed to learn various topics and tasks and making them active as learning is technologically based. The problem which we have identified in the use of ICT in tertiary education is lack of infrastructure and trained manpower (personnel) to use the ICT tools in teaching and learning. Most lecturers, technologists and students who are supposed to use the ICT tools are ignorant of what they are and their uses. Previous researches on ICT have focused on the hardware, software, professional development and support services....

...“THE ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN USING MOTHER TONGUE AS A MODE OF INSTRUCTION IN MATHEMATICS” Abstract In our present educational reforms, one of the hot issues is the K-12 program and the use of the Mother Tongue as a mode of instruction in all subjects except for English and Filipino. The study focuses on the issues and the challenges of the primary teachers in using mother tongue as a mode of instruction in teaching Mathematics. The sample comprised of 10 primary teachers from one of the central public schools in Davao City. Interview protocol and structured questionnaire were the data collection instruments. The researchers found out that the use of mother tongue in teaching mathematics may not be achieved soon. The Sinugbuanong Bisaya terminologies in Mathematics, the writing competency of the pupils in Sinugbuanong Bisaya, the teacher’s guide and the language itself are the issues and challenges that the primary teachers encountered in teaching Mathematics using mother tongue language as a mode of instruction. One of the major recommendations was to have terminologies in Mathematics using the mother tongue – Sinugbuanong Bisaya and for the teachers to attend seminars to widen their knowledge about this new program of the Department of Education. Mathematics would obviously benefit from such a conference. Introduction Mother tongue-based multilingual education is the provision of education in a child’s mother tongue, or a home language familiar to them, as well...

...both schools and teachers play in creating an atmosphere conducive to parents becoming actively involved in the educational process. Parental involvement refers to a parent or family members' participation and contribution to their child's schooling. These contributions can take place in or outside of the school, with the objective of improving a child’s learning. Parental involvement at home can include activities such as helping with homework or reading with the child. Involvement at school may include parents volunteering in the classroom or attending workshops. Parental involvement is vital to school reform. Although current educational policies and practices show a widespread support for parental involvement, how parents can become involved and the extent to which they should be involved has not always been made clear. However, one fact has remained certain; research on the effects of parental involvement has shown a consistent, positive relationship between parents' engagement in their child's education and student outcomes. Parental Involvement in Education Effects of Parental Involvement There are literally hundreds of books and journal articles available on the subject of parental involvement and the impact it has on a child’s education. I chose the issue of the effects of parent involvement on student achievement because it has become a "hot topic" in the past few years and is a major component needed in order to reform our nation’s schools. “Never...

...Each practice teacher can recount numerous highs and lows in their practice teaching career. Personally, I experienced many great moments while teaching. These were days when I ended so happy and enthusiastic that I knew I had selected the right profession. On the other hand, I had days where I definitely questioned teaching as a career. These were days where the students seemed uninterested, too talkative, or even worse a blow up occurred and nothing got accomplished. Thankfully the average combined with the positive days outshine my negative days. Through my 3 months of practice teaching, one event stands above the rest as my absolute best teaching experience. Through it I learned so much about teaching and dealing with students. My hope is that the student involved was at least partially changed for the better from the experience as I was. I also hope that there is something in this story that can help inform and inspire you. Being a student teacher is not an easy task. Lots of demands from your mentors must be attained. High expectations are given to you. There are lots of tears that were shed due to remake of lesson plans, grades, and mentors' comments. you must be strong in meeting the hardship of being a student teacher but I do believe that through the hardship I've experienced inside ILS will mold me to be a best teacher someday. All my sufferings will be all worth when I'll be in the real battle field as being a teacher. One thing I could say about my learners...
