Time management is probably one of the most cherished skills we can have and something a student needs to maximize in order to be successful in their studies. Time is something that is always against students no matter what they do. Learning the skills to prioritize what is important and needed is valuable to a student’s success. As a college student, you are required to think in greater depth and complexity than ever before (Carter, Bishop, Kravits, 2007, p. 76). The first thing needed to do in order to mange your time appropriately is to break down the average day of a full time working student. This may include but not limited to work, school, relaxation, gym, family time, and unforeseen situations that may arise. It is always better to be over prepared than under prepared. As for most working students breaking down the average workday may help analyze and clarify the priorities in a given day. For most work may be the first priority and take up most of the day. The workday can range from eight to 12 hours a day. The second priority may be School and the time needed in order to receive a good grade and achieving their long-term goals.

...Diversity Trends in Education Major Assessment: Diversity Trends in Education EDUC 3008-1 DeWayne Feenstra Major Assessment: Diversity Trends in Education EDUC 3008-1 DeWayne Feenstra 2014 2014 Education reform is a constant and pressing discussion at the state and local levels. There is no shortage of opinions on how best to serve the growing student population. One of the fastest growing populations in the educational system is not the honor society or even remedial students; it is special education students. The population of students served under IDEA (Individuals With Disabilities Education) has grown at nearly twice the rate of the general education population (New America Foundation, 2013). The principal reason for this increase was the widening of the definition of "disabled" under IDEA by Congress in 1997 to include children ages three to nine that are considered to be "developmentally delayed." Since the 1980’s there has been a movement in the education of Special Needs Students (SNS) to move the students from the isolation of a dedicated special education classroom and to have them work alongside “typical” students. This development, often referred to as ‘Inclusive Education ,' ‘Mainstreaming’ or ‘Integration ,' is a hotly debated topic. As with any movement in the educational system, the question of funding comes into play. The impact and change on a typical student’s education, as well as the educational and social experience of an SNS, is one...

...My Personal Philosophy of Special Education Christina L. Richardson Grand Canyon University: SPE-529N November 18, 2012 My Personal Philosophy of Special Education As educators, we need a foundation for why we want to teach, where students with different disabilities fit in that foundation, a rationale for how we teach, and a principle that keeps us striving to be the best educators we can be. The purpose of this essay is to point out what I believe the foundation, student location, rationale, and principle are for why I want to become a teacher. Special Education Philosophy I believe every child is entitled to an education no matter what race, socio-economic status, or disability. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) ensures that every child is given the opportunity to have a highly qualified education while Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires children with disabilities be given a free appropriate public education (FAPE) that meets their individual needs. The latest version of IDEA also works together with NCLB to give children with disabilities the same opportunity of high quality instruction. This causes the responsibility for the progress and performance of children with disabilities to be shared by the general and special education teachers. (Cortiella, 2006, p. 10) As a special education teacher, I will work with general education teachers and collaborate to make sure the individual needs of students with disabilities are met. I believe that...

...Christian Education DR.JT. Roberson Final Examination December 7, 2011 Robin Johnson 1. How was Christian Education conducted for African Americans during slavery and while was operational? Christianity and Education was of utmost importance to the African culture. Africans came to America with a rich and dynamic heritage, which they tried to preserve. Black religion, like Black people, began in Africa. In trying to find a starting point of Christian Education, many scholars believe it may be found in the sacred text of the New Testament. Africa’s contribution to Black religion is well known and John Jackson is an advocate of this position. He has cited several legacies of Egypt to Christianity. Education was an experience that was required by each person in a tribe. The community to which one belonged defined what it meant to be human. To be human was to belong to a community and participate in beliefs, rituals, and ceremonies of that community. African Education was the oral instruction that emerged through their music, dance, folk tales, rituals, proverbs, poetry, and so on. These tools served as instruction. Slaves during the Antebellum Period formed new ideas and practices on their own that pronounced longing for freedom. These meetings were held in the brush harbors and praise houses, and were thus coined the “invisible church”. Story and song were the sources of education during this period of slavery. This oral communication was used as the education structure...

...Yam 1 UGFN1000 In Dialogue with Nature Man and Nature- A dialogue among scientists through the ages Notations: (I: Myself, J: Joseph Needham, C: Rachel Carson N: Issac Newton) I: Welcome to the seminar ‘Man and nature’. I am honoured today with Mr. Needham, Mr. Newton and Ms. Carson. J&C&N: I: Our pleasure. The relationship between man and nature is one of the most vital relations human is currently handling. Humanity’s progresses are largely dependent on the resources our mother nature offers us. From ancient times, nature is human’s best friend and greatest foe. Human is suffering from natural disaster. Meanwhile, many of our daily essentials, such as water and food, are obtained from the nature. In my view, the relationship between man and nature has evolved from ages to ages. To examine the relation, I believe we should first inspect on the advancement of human understanding towards nature. The explanation towards natural phenomena starts from supernatural power. At ancient times, human understanding towards nature was limited, thus resulted in belief of deity. Ancient Greeks used different deity to explain astronomy and natural phenomenon, for instance, Zeus is the God of thunder, Apollo is the God of sun and light, while Poseidon is the God of ocean. Also, different Heroes and Heroine are involved in respective horoscopes. Greeks were not alone. Various primordial civilizations also reflected their incapability of understanding nature in creating...

...General Certificate of Secondary Education 1 General Certificate of Secondary Education The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification awarded in a specified subject, generally taken in a number of subjects by students aged 14–16 in secondary education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and is equivalent to a Level 2 (A*- C) and Level 1 (D- G) in Key Skills. (In Scotland, the equivalent is the Standard Grade.) Some students may decide to take one or more GCSEs before or afterwards; people may apply for GCSEs at any point either internally through an institution or externally. The education systems of other British territories, such as Gibraltar,[1] and the former British dominion of South Africa, also use the qualifications, as supplied by the same examination boards. The International version of the GCSE is the IGCSE, which can be taken anywhere in the world, and which includes additional options, for example relating to coursework and the language used. When GCSEs are taken by students in secondary education, they can often be combined with other qualifications, such as the Business And Technology Education Council (BTEC), the Diploma in Digital Applications (DiDA), or diplomas. Education to GCSE level is often required of students who study for the International Baccalaureate or to GCE Advanced Level (A-level). GCSE exams were introduced as the compulsory school-leavers' examinations in the late 1980s (the first exams being taken...
