...Malcolm Poree II Reagan Mitchell EDCI 1001 24 September 2014 Educational Narrative Essay The importance of education is key to success in your future. Getting an education during your early years (k-5th grade) is just as important to success as graduating high school or even college. In the first video we watched, Dr.Cornel West mentioned that education is a quest for the truth. This statement makes perfect sense considering you start your educational quest from a young age, which is considered the time where humans learn the most. Success is a pre-determined mindset that one must have before even beginning their journey. Developing good learning habits from day one will help you throughout your educational career. I would encounter early that I would have a problem with reading comprehension, not because I couldn’t ready but I would just struggle with retaining the information. I started my education experience at a pre-school called Hume Center in Uptown New Orleans. Throughout pre-school I was already focused on my books. I would read every night, probably my favorites which would be a story written by Dr.Seuss. Reading these simple riddle books was an attempt to see if I could gather the information without forgetting everything I read. From there I left and went to the International School Of Louisiana where I would further my education. ISL was a very unique experience considering the majority of my learning would...

...deficiencies, challenges, and strategies to improve the literacy program at Anywhere ISD in Anywhere, Texas. Reading Program Action Plan A reading program plan should be determined by meeting the needs of the students it plans to serve (Ediger, 2010). In determining an action plan for meeting the students of my school there are several key factors I have to evaluate. School funding issues are prevalent in every state in America and in order for this to be effective funding issues need to be established. For the sake of argument this reading program action plan is built on the assumption that funding is not an issue but student success is of more importance. This action plan will focus on 8th grade students at Anywhere ISD in Anywhere, Texas. Based upon data, two thirds of 8th graders read below grade level (Martello, Martello, Modder man, Peterson, & Pan, 2013). Gunning (2013) suggests ten principles in implementing a successful reading program for all students to be successful. In order for these principles to be effective proper monitoring of all students in the reading program will have to be addressed. Anywhere ISD consists of students who are economically disadvantaged and come from low income family environments. Deficiencies in Reading at Anywhere ISD Anywhere ISD has deficiencies in reading...

...Grades in the realm of education are standardized measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Grades can be assigned in letters (for example, A, B, C, D, or F), as a range (for example 4.0–1.0), as a number out of a possible total (for example out of 20 or 100), as descriptors (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement), in percentages, or, as is common in some post-secondary institutions in some countries, as a Grade Point Average (GPA). GPA is calculated by taking the number of grade points a student earned in a given period of time divided by the total number of credits taken.[1] The GPA can be used by potential employers or further post-secondary institutions to assess and compare applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is a calculation of the average of all of a student's grades for all semesters and courses completed up to a given academic term,[2][3][4] whereas the GPA may only refer to one term. Keith Hoskin argues that the concept of grading students' work quantitatively was developed by a tutor named William Farish and first implemented by the University of Cambridge in 1792.[5] Hoskin's assertion has been questioned by Christopher Stray, who finds the evidence for Farish as the inventor of the numerical mark to be unpersuasive.[6] Stray's article elucidates the complex relationship between the mode of examination (testing), in this case oral or written, and the varying philosophies of education these modes imply, both to teacher...

...“I wish I were white.” I was merely seven years old when I abruptly spoke those words into existence. It was around late evening, which was about that time that my mother would wrestle around with my hair for over an hour while I complained over each piece of lint she removed from my kinky mane. Being tender-headed with a head full of hair was a feature that I was so unpleased with, and it was all the more reason why I felt the way I did. At school, I would examine my white friends and their long, flowy hair. I felt like a sore thumb and felt as though there was an aura of jealously looming around me in every given moment. For my 8th birthday, my parents gave me an unsightly pink wig that I willfully wore every day after school. I’m not certain...

...Monica Walker English 1101 Narrative Essay Myszkowski “911, what is your emergency?” The concerned clear voice in the phone asked as I scrambled to find words to explain the escalated situation. One of the hardest things in my life was to choose between two of your closest family members to save. I am very close to my dad and my twin brother, Marques. My dad is authoritative; which is the parent that tells a child they cannot have or do something because they said. Even though I do not agree with parenting style, I will always love him. Marques on the other hand is an outgoing, athletic typical student. I can say that I really dislike him as a child growing up just because he was my brother and we just never got along. I can also say there is nothing I wouldn’t do to protect him. My family has always taught me to do the right thing, no matter the situation and the right thing here was to choose Marques because my dad could have killed him. There was three major stressful events that I believe took my dad to get to this; losing his job to support his family, losing his mother and the anxiety of Marques and me leaving the nest. Dad lost his job at the beginning of my 8th grade year. When losing his job, he got charged with a crime and was incarnated for a few months. My brother and I were sent to live with my grandmother in Atlanta for a year. We grew very close to her that year. It was a very hard transaction because the schools in Cartersville were more advanced than the...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves included—frequently malign or ignore. As we have considered our quandary, we have come face-to-face with the central paradox that characterizes the genre: Teaching manuals tend to be distant, mechanical, impersonal, and lifeless, when in fact good teaching is immediate, flexible, personal, and lively. In this manual, therefore, we have attempted to communicate to fellow teachers...

...PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM OF BANGLADESH CIVIL SERVICE: AN ANALYSIS OF ITS EFFICACY Mohammad Ashraful Haque ABSTRACT Performance appraisal plays a crucial role in maintaining a high quality and competitive workforce, but has been ignored so far from the civil service reform agenda in Bangladesh. At present, an Annual Confidential Report (ACR) that was introduced in the Pakistan period and retained with minor modification is used to measure performance. The prevailing gross inefficiency of the Bangladesh Civil Service gives the impression that this appraisal system is poorly functioning. This paper articulates the difficulties in designing a good appraisal system in the public sector and provides a theoretical framework arguing that the ‘goodness’ of a PA system should be seen in its capacity to meet its predetermined objectives instead of counting on the so called infallible psychometric properties. A certain degree of validity, reliability and perceived fairness are essential for an appraisal system to be efficacious. The paper then analyzes historical development of the current ACR of Bangladesh Civil Service and its components to measure its validity, reliability and perceived fairness. The paper found that though the current ACR holds some degree of fairness, it significantly lacks in validity as well as reliability, and therefore is deficient in meeting its stated objectives. Keywords – annual confidential report, efficiency, perceived fairness, psychometrics, reliability...
