...This critical reflection will analyse my developing understanding of multicultural capital and the perspectives from the relevant readings. It will also reflect on my own personal and professional implications formed through the collaborative concept teaching activity. The reading Matas & Bridges (2009) explores the importance of implementing multicultural frameworks in schools in order to contribute to the modern nation’s overall success. The purpose of the research in this paper is to investigate how culturally proactive educational institutions are, as they have the opportunity to support and promote culturally and linguistically diverse communities to bring a transformative change in preparing citizens (Matas & Bridges, 2009). The main perspective formed in this reading suggests that in today’s society, the ability to move across cultures and languages determines an individual’s ability to succeed. By incorporating multicultural capital frameworks, it allows us to seek understanding of how schools and other educational institutions can prepare students for the real world (Matas & Bridges, 2009). Matas & Bridges (2009) focus on a multicultural capital...

...Modelling the Coaching Process Background Conventional learning theory (Dewey, 1938) explains that observation and judgement are crucial to the learning process, encouraging incorporation of such thinking in standardised models. Initially, simplistic cyclical models were proposed, reactive in nature (Stratton et al., 2004) and of 3 stage ‘experience-reflection-plan’ or 4 stage ‘experience-reflection-conclude-plan’ (Kolb, 1984; Gibbs, 1998). Coaching theorists initially adopted rudimentary models (Crisfield et al., 1996; Fairs, 1987; Sherman et al., 1997) – see Appendix A, Figure 1 (Franks et al., 1986) and Figure 3 (Jones, 2002), though contemporary thinking has developed once scale, complexity and understanding of coaching began to mature...

Use the following questions to help guide your thinking – Address those you feel were most applicable for this specific lesson. 1. What one or two words best describe your teaching experience during this lesson? I think my lesson with Addie went well. 2. What went well during this lesson? In this lesson, we reviewed her band music and covered some of the method book. Addie is improving on her buzz and on her breathing, and we will continue working on these skills. We reviewed the band music, and worked in the method book. 3. Did you reach your personal teaching goal(s) for this lesson? One of my goals is being a good model for Addie playing-wise. I think I am improving on my trombone skills. I think I did a better job of sequencing when it came to working on the band music and method book exercises, applying macro-micro-macro. 4. If you had to do this lesson over again, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?...

Regarding criticality, critical thinking is one of the generic skills in the NSS curriculum in Hong Kong. The training of media literacy is rooted in critical thinking ability, hence this kit will provide assessment scheme specifying students’ critical thinking into testable abilities and skills, with the purpose to: i. include reflections on media strategies placed within reasoning; ii. problematize the frozen ideologies and power relations embedded in media gendered messages Teaching & Learning Activities To accommodate these rationale and aims, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) will be employed in this package to facilitate discourse and differentiate student learning, in relation to the intended and unintended messages sent by print media. Both micro (language use, discourse, verbal interaction, imagery communication) and macro level (social power, male dominance, and gender inequality) would be included in the analysis. Three key strategies will be utilized to analyze media discourse at classroom...

...Running Head: EDUCATION MANAGEMENT The Big Picture: A Strategic Plan (Benchmark Assessment) Alicia M Thomas Grand Canyon University: EDA-575 Educational Leadership in a Changing World February 08, 2012 The Big Picture: A Strategic Plan (Benchmark Assessment) Introduction Education is moving into a period of unprecedented change. Changing demographics, economic transitions, the transformation of mainstream values and competition are having and will continue to have a profound effect on the entire educational system. Furthermore, the tendency over the last several decades to expand the mission of the schools with limited resources has resulted in poor goal clarity and an inability of schools to place adequate resources behind important priorities when needed. Competition for resources is a harsh reality since available inputs are never adequate for all desired ends. While the business world has been on the cutting edge of this transition for some 20 years, educators must now learn to identify the competition for resources and develop strategies for gaining greater resource levels for high priority activities. School’s Vision for Excellence and School Improvement Education is an ethical and a moral activity that seek to liberate people mentally and physically and stimulate learning as active learners rather than to follow rules in codified slavish manner like passive learners. To improve understanding requires learners to be actively involved...

...Historically, the bible is considered to be the world’s best seller and most distributed book. Its teaching is widely accepted and often considered the source for all morality. However, it also was written 3,500 years ago. Therefore, today, in 2018, our society is arranged completely different than when Jesus Christ walked the Earth. Although the bible can’t always be applied to contemporary social issues, it still can be a guideline for most walks of life. For example, in John Donahue’s book, Seek Justice that You May Live, he explains how in Economic Justice for All, The U.S. bishops “recognize the difficulty of bringing the bible to bear on complex economic and social issues,” (6). However, in this document, the bishops highlight many themes from the Bible that should be applied to...

...A service learning experience is the application of reflection to consider the change that needs to be made in order to help a community run more efficiently (Homan, 2016). Throughout my service learning experience, I have developed new professional skills and gained a fresh perspective on the experience and my population served. I believe that in any new work environment one can gain these tools from fellow colleagues/coaches, supervisors/advisors and the individuals served. Additionally, working on a group project that spanned the entire semester challenged my teamwork skills and gave me new insight on effective communication and consensus. As a result of my service learning experience, I grew professionally in terms of understanding group dynamics when working towards a common goal. For example, through working with Girls in the Game, I formed a passion for the program and the population we served this semester. In the beginning of the...

...to anticipate and explain major imminent economic developments. On that score, the profession failed catastrophically, revealing fundamental theoretical inadequacies. This intellectual failure has prompted us to launch the Review of Keynesian Economics. At a time of journal proliferation, some may wonder about the need for another journal. We would respond there is a proliferation of journals, but that proliferation is essentially within one intellectual paradigm. As such, it obscures the fact that the range of theoretical inquiry is actually very narrow. A journal devoted to Keynesian economics is therefore needed, both to correct this narrowness and because events have once again confirmed the profound relevance of Keynesian theory. Reflection upon the intellectual history of macroeconomics over the past 75 years can help to understand the current predicament and need for this new journal. That...

Correspondence to Izumi Sakamoto, Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto, 246 Bloor St West, Toronto, ON M5S 1A1, Canada. E-mail: Izumi.Sakamoto@utoronto.ca Summary One of the limitations of anti-oppressive perspectives (AOPs) in social work is its lack of focus at a micro and individual level. AOPs should entail the social worker’s addressing the needs and assets of service users, challenging the oppressive social structure and, most importantly, critically challenging the power dynamics in the service-provider/ service-user relationship. Critical consciousness challenges social workers to be cognizant of power differentials and how these differentials may inadvertently make social-work practice an oppressive...

...Management is the only way to control human beings The management is not only the only contributor in managing people, it means that they are liable for the work and performance of others, the success of management very much dependable on the performance of the team or performance of an employee. It is the responsibility of the managers to closely observe and monitor the behavior of an employee and evaluate the people on the basis of their performance, capabilities and attitude towards the work. I am Controlling the employees through Management control can be defined as a regular effort to evaluate performance to prearranged principles i.e. SOP is defined in each and every organization and the management is controlling their staff through the predetermined polices which are written in the SOP .The role of the management is to compare the employee performance with the rules, regulation and polices defined in the SOP. Other than SOP, my Management can adopt different strategies to control the employees i.e. giving high rewards to increase the performance of the employees, recognize them publicly to give motivation, confront the employee in a professional manner. Providing employees the deadlines to change their behavior towards the job and follow the employee and giving them caution such as demotion, termination and suspension.

...I believe my staff needs to know they have my support, which I earn by serving them and looking out for their well-being. For example, I build in time for teachers to plan every quarter, including opportunities to collaborate with others. It’s important to rely on your teachers and their expertise in different areas. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and an effective leader can bring out the best in stakeholders. This can be accomplished by relying heavily on the School Transformation Team (STT) in a collaborative effort with the administration. Professional development for the STT is a great way to empower the team, and provide opportunities for members of the team to lead out in the school, instead of me as the principal trying to micro manage people. For example, I share some areas of concern with the team, then receive feedback through their thoughts and actions for possible solutions. I don’t know anyone who likes to be micromanaged, although there are times when I’m direct if a teacher’s performance isn’t where it should be, then I take more control of the situation. Anytime the leader can provide autonomy with staff, I think teachers are more willing to work alongside the administrator with buy-in. As the building leader, I build clarity and expectations for all staff, which empowers stakeholders to rise to those expectations. My actions have been demonstrated in empowering the intervention team by providing team members with a Check & Connect form, which is a tool...
