...Maria Montessori once said, “Early childhood education is the key to the betterment of society.” The question is though, when is the early childhood education taken too far? When is there a clearly defined line in the sand showing what a child should know in their youth, compared to what they shouldn’t know? Since 2015, the issue of child transition has become a concerning issue in the United States, one of morality and legality. The question is should a child of such a young age be the face of what our worldly mission politically? Are we truly willing to end our child’s innocence for our own gains? In two completely different articles, Steven Crowder, a Conservative talk show host, and Samantha Allen, a Liberal columnist for the Daily Beast, discuss the issue of ‘child transition.’ Until the past decade, childhood was not about deciding what gender you were, but going to the park and hanging out with your friends, laughing and playing with each other until it was time to go. Childhood however, has changed immensely,...

...includes the creation of a “fully integrated system” (p.17) working towards meeting the needs of transitioning youth and young adults. “Good transitions should be a coordinated, purposeful, planned and patient-centred process that ensures continuity of care, optimizes health, minimizes adverse events, and ensures that the young person attains his/her maximum potential. It starts with preparing a service user to leave a child-centred health care setting and ends when that person is received in, and properly engaged with, the adult provider” (Singh and Tuomainen, 2015, p.358). A shared management model as an acting continuum of care would address the very apparent lack of communication that currently plagues the transition from CYMHS and AMHS. Capelli et al., suggest a shared management model was implemented to address the service gap in transitional care. It is characterized by a flexible, collaborative approach whereby youth and adult providers from hospitals and communities work together with youth and families to develop individualized transitional care plans that promote coordination and continuity of care between CYMHS and AMHS. Capelli...

...characterized as students who have parents that have never attended college. These students are often stressed out due to the unfamiliarity with college and how to obtain higher education. “As with many other major developmental shifts, the college transition can be a period of stressful life change for young adults” (Sy, Fong, Carter, Boehme, & Alpert, 2011, p. 384). Many of these students experience physiological stress by trying to maneuver around an unfamiliar setting. They often lack social support from family or friends, which is a crucial part of transitioning into college. Having a support system during this vital stage can help these students deal with these hardships of transitioning into...

...Tonya Smith English 10 B03 Dr. Sutton Product Review Essay Advantage of Technical Colleges Students and family’s today struggle when it comes to the financial requirements and proper fit as these relate to higher education. Many families have begun to plan for their children’s future education as early as from birth. While planning ahead is always best, the cost of higher education continues to increase which tends to still leave these families struggling to provide advanced education for their children. The expense of four year colleges has placed the option of attending these institutes out of reach for most students even where advanced financial planning was in place. More and more high school graduates are exploring the option of technical schools for continued education. Technical colleges offer lower costs, smaller class sizes and more access to professors making them more appealing to transitioning students. Technical colleges provide a great economic option for young men and women that choose to continue their education beyond high school. The majority of technical schools offer a variety of degree and certificate programs which can be completed in two years or less. These programs equip the students with the ability to obtain an education or training in a short period of time providing them the opportunity for employment in their field of study. Students are able to obtain these skills in less time and for a fraction of what a four year college degree costs...

...Transitioning from the Military to the Civilian Workforce Name Institution Transitioning from the Military to the Civilian Workforce Introduction Unemployment is a major societal issue facing the US in the modern world and it has affected various members of the population. One of the sections of individuals that have been adversely hit by the highest levels of unemployment following the declining labor markets and recession are the veterans after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (Wolfe, 2012). Statistics given by the American U.S. Bureau of Labor reveal that the unemployment levels for Afghanistan and Iraq is more than twenty percent higher than that of other Americans. Young people are completing their military training and get into the job market immediately. The job market is characterized by a situation where young individuals that are below thirty-four years are experiencing the highest levels of unemployment in the US population. It has been observed that most members of the military have difficulties adjusting to life in the civilian workforce (Ray and Heaslip, 2011). Additionally, most of the veterans get back to the military life with injuries and disabilities sustained in their line of work and this poses major setbacks in their search for jobs. This paper gives a detailed analysis of the transitioning from the military to the civilian workforce. Challenges faced during the Transition Process Service in the military is difficult and demanding...

...women become student veterans. Coupled by conflicting feelings of detachment and determination, a student veteran is a unique type of college student that faces many more challenges that they cannot prepare for. In order to understand the term “student veteran,” it is essential to break the two words apart. For the purpose of this essay, “student” will be referred to as Oxford English Dictionary’s standard definition of “a person who is undergoing a course of study and instruction at a university or other place of higher education or technical training” (2013). In reference to the U.S. Code: Title 38 – Veterans’ Benefits (2012), a veteran is “a person who has served in the active [United States] military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable” (2012). To qualify as a student veteran, one must have met both of the above criteria and be enrolled in an institution for higher education, whether or not he or she is receiving educational benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Some men and women join the military because of the educational benefits that come with serving. Others decide to separate because they are frustrated with their commands, long hours, or deployments. Whatever the reason, the transition from marine, soldier,...

...Social Development Research Psy/202 August 28, 2013 The article that I chose is titled: What’s going on with young people today? I chose this article because it provided an interesting theory of how sociological changes have influenced and delayed the transition into adulthood. The article begins with explaining the lengthening process to adulthood over the past several decades, and what challenges the youth of today face transitioning into adulthood, noting that these challenges change to meet the social realities of the era. For example it was not uncommon for youth to leave home in the fifties at a young age to pursue work opportunities while they were plentiful. It was considered normal to encourage young adults to do so and social expectations of the time reinforced that need. This transition soon fell by the way side when economic and employment uncertainties arose in the seventies leaving young adults to reconsider their living arrangements, educational investments, and family formation. Next the article took a look at changes in the core timing shifts in the new transition that lengthens the time it takes for youth of today to leave home, complete school, enter the workforce, marry and have children. The authors Settersten and Ray go on to state that the stress of today’s new agenda for attaining independence leaves many families overburdened as they support their children for extended periods of time...

...Challenges of New Graduate Nurses: Transition to Practice Job retention rates amongst newly graduate nurses tend to fluctuate widely. These fluctuations have many possible and combined explanations including orientation quality, level of confidence, residency programs, pay rates, mentoring programs, management support, and countless views of job satisfaction. My concept will focus on transition to practice success of new graduate nurses in relationship to their organization’s orientation process, job satisfaction, and the effects of job retention rates. Identifying these challenges are significant noting that low retention rates are costly for health care facilities as well as for the economy. According to Gemberling, Tretter-Long, Reiner, Potylycki, and Davidson in their article Clinical Support for the Off-Shift Nurse and the Graduate Nurse: The Clinical Rock Stars, “Depending on the specialty, estimated replacement costs for an RN were $42,000-$64,000 [in 2005]” Gemberling et al. (2011). This topic is especially important for new graduate nurses when considering a first place of employment. Nursing educators and health care managers have been analyzing and designing new ways to combat low retention rates specifically for newly graduated nurses. Review of Literature Several factors influence job satisfaction, which is a key characteristic that effects job retention rates. Gemberling et al. (2011) found that most new nurses leave their first job because of stress related...

...When returning home Veterans could be facing a myriad of situations that can either support the transition to civilian life or hinder it. While many assume that these roadblocks begin after discharge I was surprised to learn that often times these obstacles begin long before the service member is released from active duty. In the interview with GySgt. Diego Guerra, he discussed many of the barriers that he personally experienced while trying to transition to civilian life. An obstacle that seemed pervasive amongst active duty service members was the push back that many services members received from senior ranking officers regarding one's decision to separate from the military. GySgt. Guerra shared how his separation was delayed for months...

Green Diagnosis and Assessment in Special Education (SPE 536) Latanya Barkley June 26, 2013 Case Study 1: Student in Early Childhood Special Education Over the course of time it became very clear to Sean Smith that two of his three sons had issues with learning. At first his son Ben was diagnosed with Autism, yet nothing seemed to change for him at first. While his son Ken, seem to have trouble from the time he was a year old and should have been learning to focus on his parents and others around him, soon Ken was also diagnosed with Autism. This is where Ken’s story begins; his brother’s Ben story will be seen again in Case Study 2. Ken’s journey begins in 2010 when he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. He was then given a vision and hearing screening to access him for possible preschool placement. While Ken passed his vision screening it was noted that he only briefly looked at people yet he did show excitement when seeing his parents or computer games. He seemed attracted to bright colors and appeared to use his left hand most of the time. He also passed his hearing screening and was then ready to undergo his Special Education Eligibility Report. Ken’s journey toward special education placement began with his first Developmental Report. This is where Ken’s parents asked for him to be evaluated for special education due to significantly delayed speech and communication skills. He was assessed by Dr. Su...
