Should School Uniforms Be Mandatory In Primary And...
I believe school uniforms should be mandatory in primary and secondary schools because it relieves discrimination and students. School is a place to
learn, not to exhibit fashion, wealth or privilege. Unfortunately, now kids spend so much time being stressed about popularity that they hardly have the
energy to learn anything valuable.
Parents as well can benefit because buying uniforms is much cheaper and less stressful than spending large amounts of money and time purchasing
varied clothes, usually for more than one child at a time. It is cheaper to wear school uniforms because you only have to buy one or two sets of
clothes for the entire year, whereas most people buy up to 20 outfits in a uniform free school. School uniforms take the pressure off students to pay top
dollar for clothes, according to Reginald Wilson, a senior scholar at the American Council onEducation in Washington, D.C. "I think it does lower
the cost of clothes, and kids don't emphasize clothes as much when they're all wearing the same thing," Wilson said. "Certainly the competition to
wear the best shoes or the best sweaters and so forth has been prevalent in school ever since I was in school, and the poor kids felt inferior."
Therefore, when all students are dressed alike, competition between students over clothing choices and the teasing of those who are dressed in less
expensive or less fashionable outfits can be eliminated. It also really helps to get up in the morning and not have to think about

Common Core Educational Programs For Primary Schools
Common Core educational programs have been showing up in primary schools all throughout the nation in the past decade; educators and legislators
alike saw the need for standardized skill sets among primary school children. Many people will agree that training in certain areas of arithmetic,
English and grammar, and history are crucial for success in the modern economy. Despite this agreement, there is an ever–growing divide between
parents and legislators on whether or not the programs are helping, or hurting these children.
Erik Erickson, a parent to a second–grader, originally supported common core, stating that: "In a society as mobile as ours, kids moving from one
state to another should not be so far behind or ahead students in their new state. A common set of skills at each grade across the nation makes sense
("Why Parents Like Me are Angry about Common Core")." However, once he saw his own child struggling to keep up with the "convoluted"
mathematic lessons, he had to reexamine his own opinions on the matter. Erickson and his wife (both proficient mathematicians), struggled to help
their second grader with her math homework; and they weren't the only ones. Erickson received calls from many parents expressing how they too had
difficulty helping their children with their schoolwork; one mother described how her child's school offered to give her lessons on the material so she
could help her child ("Why Parents Like Me are Angry about Common Core"). This is the crux of

The Effects Of Class Size On Primary School Education
Effects of Class Size on Primary School Education Primary school class sizes should be reduced to increase the number of students who achieve
consistent academic success, as well as teachers' abilities to sufficiently teach students. Teachers will also have to adjust their teaching methods to
accommodate a smaller class. Most parents when asked if they believe that class sizes matter will tell you yes, they certainly do. Researches show that
cutting class sizes has proven to only be effective in primary school (Blatchford et al., n.d.). As the grades go up, the results go down. Secondary
schools do not show much results when researchers experiment with class sizes, no matter the area. A student's ability is often determined by how
well a teacher educates them on a subject. Research conducted by Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach says that teachers should be able to change their
pedagogy, or teaching methods, to be more efficient in teaching depending on class size (Schanzenbach, 2014). Teachers would have to teach and
act in a different manner depending on class size because there would be less students to worry about. The idea that teachers have to change their
pedagogy based on the size of a class is very popular, even among teachers (Woods, 2015). A great amount of the teacher population agrees that
reducing class sizes would make teaching easier. It would also mean less grading. However, Gary James Harfitt made a suggestion based off his own

However, in Hungary there are much more P.E. lessons than in Finland. The raising number of the lessons was a necessity as unfortunately, in Hungary,
there is an increasing number of obese children. Therefore, the number of hours of physical education had been increased by the government to handle

A 21st Century Curriculum : A Maintained Primary Schools
A 21st Century Curriculum
A maintained primary schools. The aims of the national curriculum is to provide opportunities for all pupils to learn and to achieve as well as
promoting pupils' spiritual, moral, social, cultural development and prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life
(QCDA, 2010).
The curriculum came about after the 1988 Education reform act (house of commons 2009). In 1989 it started to be implemented into primary schools
and secondary schools. It's first review of the national curriculum happened in 1993 because teachers complained about the testing methods that were
being used. This mean Sir Ron Dearing was brought in and then a revised national curriculum was then introduced in 1995. Even in 1988 the core
subjects were listed as mathematics, English and science. (DfES 2011) This is still the case in the curriculum in 2014.
In 1982 Kelly described the curriculum as:
A curriculum consists of experiences developed from learners ' needs and characteristics (as opposed to the needs of society), and a large measure of
freedom for both teacher and learner is a necessary condition for education of this kind. (Kelly 1982:140) Meaning that the teachers would decide what
was taught as they saw necessary rather than what society needed.
The curriculum now has been changed and is now being implemented in schools. The changes to the curriculum have been ones that have made the

Primary Functions Of The Professional School Counselor
What are the primary functions of the professional school counselor?
Functions of the school counselor have changed throughout the decades (Dollarhide & Saginak, 2012). To support the current school reform
movement, school counselors focus on standards that students should be able to accomplish because of their participation in a school counseling
program (Wilkerson, 2010). It is suggested that these standards help to support students' ability to be ready to learn (Wilkerson, 2010). Through the use
of these standards, professional school counselors have a primary responsibility to provide effective services to support students in their academic
success, career and college development, and social/emotional development (American School Counselor Association [ASCA], 2012). School
counselors provide services to students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program that supports student success through application
of systemic change, advocacy, collaboration, and leadership skills (ASCA, 2012). For instance, if a counselor sees barriers that are interfering with
student success, the counselor should advocate for students or empower students to advocate for themselves. Further, through the use of the ASCA
(2012) model, professional school counselors provide a comprehensive school counseling program that focuses on foundation, management, delivery,
and accountability (ASCA, 2012). For example, school counselors provide delivery of the school counseling program by

Pre–school is the school that provides pupils to learn the pre–basic. Especially, the high quality standard of pre–school can offer pupils to develop their

Pre–school has various benefits to pupils. However, pre–school also have its affection to pupils. Thus, we divide our literature review into two to points
– the benefits of pre–school and the effective of pre–school. The benefits of pre–school After pupils attended to pre–school, they have enough ability to
grow their characters and behaviors in their level. Many benefits that pupils can encourage themselves like social development, intelligent ability,
feeling growth, language practice, and physical expansion. These benefits will lead pupils to be enhanced for their next school. Furthermore, only
standard quality pre–school can provide such of benefits to pupils. According to Clare Country Childcare Committee (2011) stated that the benefit of
pre–school will be making the move to primary school for the pupils. The benefits of these include social development, intellectual development,

The Importance of Break Time or Playtime in Primary School

The modernized world has changed people's perception on how they look at break time or playtime. Many people fail to give importance on break

3.1Cognitive or Academic Benefits
Playtime benefits a child cognitive understanding and academically. Comparing two student, student A and student B, student A is allowed to have
playtime while student B is restricted from playtime. Academic results of both student shows that student A achieves better academically compared to
student B. Several studies show that activities carried out during playtime has a connection with learning in the classroom. For example, an article by
Davis and Pollock (2012) mentioned that 'impact of exercise on children's cognition implies a link to academic performance. Population studies
provide evidence that inactivity and excess weight are associated with poor academic achievement'. Parker (2013) stated that playtime which is made
use for role play can aid in child's literacy skills. Insufficient duration allocated for playtime can result in bad performance in academic. Pellegrini and
Davis found that a student left to work on instructed task or activity without any rest will tend to lose focus on the task assigned (1995). Studies shows
that children exposed to playtime behave better in classroom compared to those children who do not have recess. A study carried out on children with

The Children And Their Primary Schools Report
The children and their primary schools report, also known as the Plowden Report, was published in 1967 by the Central Advisory Council and written
by Bridget Plowden. The aim of the report was to consider Primary Education in all of its aspects and the transition from primary to secondary
education. The Report took four years to write and was published just after the post Second World War. At this time many people believed that
environmental influences played a significant role in the development of students. (Bartlett et al., 2001).
The Plowden documented different recommendations into how children should be taught and strongly emphasised the importance of the first 6years of
a child's education. The report also looked closely at any social inequalities that might affect the child's learning such as family size and/or
overcrowding. The Plowden also had a major influence on today's education, it introduced a new style of teaching and learning, that hadn't been used
before. Before the report was published, education was taught in a very traditional and didactic way of the teacher standing at the front of the class and
sharing their knowledge to the children who expected to just listen and take in the information. However after its publication the way in which children
was taught became very child centred with them becoming more involved in their learning and the lessons were adapted in a way that would benefit

The Importance Of Foreign Language In Primary Schools
The United States is further behind in education than many other countries. They are lacking behind in math and science compared to Asian countries.
They are more below in arts than European countries. They are also further behind in foreign language than the rest of the world. Children are more
receptive to learning when it begins at an early age. To obtain a positive and better quality of learning, foreign language should be considered in being
implemented in primary school. There are many arguments as to why there should not be foreign language integration into primary school in the United
States. The many challenges of the public school system are; lack of parental involvement, standardized testing, budget cuts, student population, and
lack of teachers of education. To add in another curriculum into the already challenged school year, would be a daunting task with so many obstacles
as it is. To understand the need for a foreign language, there must be understanding as to how the other issues could prevent it. Many parents today
lack the time needed to spend with their children on knowledge development. Two income families work on average a nine to six. They rely on the
teachers to fit in the eight–hour day to teach. If they are not satisfied with that, they buy their young Ipads, and phones for the rest of their learning.

With childhood obesity at a profound high, the study emphasizes that it is of great importance that methods be taken to appropriately measure and
positively influence children's meal intake. Research confirms that the majority of dietary customs are established during childhood. Therefore, proper
childhood dietetic assessments are a beneficial method to improve and measure food choices of children during lunchtime at primary schools. As stated
by the authors, present evaluations of children's dietary consumption are "24–hour recalls" and "meal observations". Conversely, these implements are
identified as exclusive and particularly resource dependent. As indicated by its title, the "24–hour recall" questions children in primary schools about
their entire meal consumption throughout a day's span. In opposition of the method, prior studies indicate it is rather challenging for young children to
correctly recall a complete day's meal ingestion. Thus, not only is the "24–hour recall" potentially inaccurate, but the assessment uses an abundant
amount of time and money. Another type of dietary assessment, "meal observations", appear to be more precise than "24–hour recalls", but the
resources used are still high. Lastly, "food frequencies, food diaries, and combination of food frequencies and 24–hour recalls" have been used as

The most significant reason I enjoy teaching is to see the difference I can make in students lives, no matter how immense or minor the change is. I
love witnessing students get excited about learning, and just how much they can grow and develop over a period of time. The dramatic shift and
knowing I had helped her achieve this, was one of the best feelings, and my favourite aspect of teaching.

Much of what I have learned regarding taking consideration and educating of young children has been directed to me by women; with this being
the situation whether a male has an effect on the way a child learns or creates can be addressed. Should a male be rehearsing the same teaching
methods as women are then does the sexual orientation of the teacher really have any kind of effect on how the child responds to the teacher and in
turn how the child learns. Why primary school teaching has been labelled as a typically female profession is likewise something that interests me.
Can anyone explain why a female would generally be viewed as more suited to a job than a male like myself? Is it true that this is just on the grounds
that women are the child bearers, or is it as an aftereffect of gender stereotyping stemming back to times where the patriarch went up against a

The issue of having an adjusted sexual orientation representation on the showing staffs of schools is a matter of worry to educationalists. It is viewed

National Dropout Rate Between Primary And Secondary Schools
Mexico is one of many Latin American countries lacking access to primary school education for all of its citizens. Due to lack of basic education and
resources to continue school, Mexico experiences one of the lowest enrollment rates in higher education. According to the International Journal of
Educational Development (2014), Mexico's national dropout rate between primary and secondary schools is at 44% resulting in less students attending
college (Gibbs B.G.& Heaton T.B., 2014). Not only does this issue deteriorate the levels of education, it increases literacy and creates inequality. In
order to solve this issue we can begin by creating a technology that reaches out to the entire population. Through the creation of a new technology such

Significance
Education plays a huge significance in development, both at the individual and national level. Establishing good foundations in a child's early years
through primary school will conclusively develop desires to attend college, establish a career and progress. Addressing these issues is key to breaking

Planning And Assessment Of The Primary School For A Teacher
Planning, teaching and assessment are essential in the primary school for a teacher to ensure that successful learning and progression takes place.
These three components link together however they should not be considered as a linear experience because assessment should not and does not
always occur at the end of these processes (Earl, 2003). The process has a cyclic nature where each part contributes to the final outcome; you must
plan to be able to teach a lesson, but to do so you must assess prior knowledge to allow for future progression. I will explore how this important
cyclic process takes place and how different approaches, such as using story books, are used to do so in relation to the foundation subjects, particularly
looking at Religious Education (RE), music and computing.
Thorough planning in the primary school is important as it ensures teachers have a structure and context for each lesson and that they can have a
positive impact on children's learning and progress. Pugh and Pugh (1998, p. 115) recognise that without clear planning, teachers would not know what
they're trying to achieve, how to achieve it and when it is to be achieved. Despite the age of this literature, the concept around planning remains today;
it is crucial to plan the curriculum and lessons in three stages; short, medium and long term.

Effects Of Transition From Preschool To Primary School
Transition in education is a period of change that a child may experience when starting preschool, primary or secondary education. In this essay, the
focus will be on issues faced in transition from preschool to primary school.
Transitions from one environment to another can be stressful for the child and the parents. Every child is unique and will have different experiences
and capabilities. Hence, they will react differently to stress. Children need a caring, supportive environment for physical, social, emotional and
cognitive development. They also need to feel safe and have a sense of belonging. Children who experience a positive transition from preschool to
primary school are more likely to succeed academically and be socially ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When children transition from preschool to primary one there is a change in the learning environment, quality of interaction and mode of instruction.
The primary school is a much larger environment than a preschool. The classroom enrolment is also bigger and there is a larger teacher–pupil ratio.
Hence, children in primary school receive less one–to–one attention from the teacher than children in preschool. In primary school, children are
expected to spend more time seated at their desks. Children also spend a longer duration in primary school than in preschool and carry heavy
schoolbags. There is a change in curriculum and behaviour expectations. Children are expected to buy their own food at the canteen and finish it within
20 minutes. Naptimes are not included. In primary school, children are expected to tie their own shoelaces, use the toilet the right way on their own
and at specified times. In preschool, children may have 1 teacher to teach them Mother Tongue and another to teach them the other academic skills.
However, in primary school children may have more than 2 teachers teaching them academic and non–academic subjects. Hence, children will have to

Primary School Teachers : Primary Teachers
Primary school teachers educate primary school kids by arranging and directing an instruction system to create education and numeracy, and
additionally the physical, enthusiastic, scholarly and social development of their understudies. Some individual prerequisites of primary teachers
include: enjoying working with kids; are innovative and sorted out; are understanding in managing understudies of varying capacities; and have the
capacity to convey basically and unmistakably. From numerous points of view our capacity to convey characterizes us, it is one of the ways we are
judged and measured by others and the methods by which we produce our connections. It is normal that when a kid begins elementary school, they will
have the capacity to see quite a bit of what is said, communicate obviously, share their emotions and make their needs known. This level of capability
in discourse, dialect and correspondence is discriminating to the improvement of a child's subjective, social and passionate prosperity. The parts of
correspondence utilized as a primary teacher incorporate face to face correspondence, interceded correspondence, sexual orientation difference in
correspondence and many more.
Successful dialect aptitudes are fundamental for kids to get access to the educational program. In the classroom, spoken dialect is the essential medium
through which primary school teachers educate and students learn. Dialect advancement is acknowledged as being critical to intellectual

Inclusive Practice in the Primary School.
How inclusive is Frederick Bird Primary School as a learning community?
'Inclusive education is an unabashed announcement, a public and political declaration and celebration of difference.' (Corbett, J. 2001:134)
The principles of inclusion and their implications on school practice have been fiercely debated by leading educational experts for many years. In
1994, delegates from 92 governments met at the world conference on special needs education, to consider policy changes that would enable educators to
provide inclusive education for all. The result of this conference was the adoption of 'The Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action' which
provides recommendations and stipulations for the 'planning and implementation' of inclusive ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is an essential exercise for any school striving to be inclusive. Ainscow (2007:3) argues that the biggest challenge facing the education system, is
the development of practices that will reach out to learners failed by existing arrangements. It is my belief that the most effective way of tackling this
matter is through this collaborative way of working. This enables practitioners to challenge and redefine entrenched views of 'difference' that can have
a negative impact on certain types of learners and find new ways of moving forward.
This ethos is reflected in every day teaching and learning. Every child within the school is treated respectfully as an individual and lessons are
strategically planned to accommodate all needs and aspirations. The level of differentiation employed can be seen clearly in the case of 'Kyle'.
Kyle is a popular and intelligent Year 6 student. He is an all round sports enthusiast who relishes any opportunity to take part in team experiences and
possesses excellent leadership skills. However, Kyle is dyslexic and came to Year 6 disengaged with his learning and lacking in self–esteem and
motivation. It was through open conversations with previous teachers and his parents that we were able to establish the basis for Kyle's disconnection
with the curriculum. Kyle viewed himself as an incapable underachiever due to the ability level of the work he was expected to produce. Through

This is expensive and need expertise to use specialized materials. In this case, if the government is failing to provide learning materials for ordinary
learners, what more to the provision of teaching and learning materials to learners with special educational needs.
The shortage of teachers and recruitment of unqualified and untrained teachers who did not have any knowledge on special needs education was also
another recipe for disaster because the needs of learners with special educational needs were not given a priority. (Ministry of Education PIF document
2000). Thus, it is reported by 1997, more than half the teachers were untrained, compared with 13% before the introduction of Free Primary Education.
The World Bank Report on effects of free primary education (2004) states that this left learners with special educational needs to struggle to meet the
needs of the school and not the schools meeting the needs of learners with special educational needs. As such it is to the interest of the researcher to
assess on how this has led to low academic achievement to both learners with special educational needs and ordinary learners.
Poor infrastructure is also another area of concern, according to an article by Ligomeka. B. (2000), it is stated that the ambitious plan by the Malawi

It gives a different meaning. If you mistakenly write, it will have a significant impact on your writing. There are theories that say, knowledge of
grammar is superfluous for a successful communication because children are able to communicate without having any knowledge of grammar. Based
on this theory, grammatical knowledge is not required. However, if we as teachers do not emphasize grammar knowledge as part of the English
language dominates the whole process of learning, then it makes a difficult learning process. Comparative understanding of grammar has led to
different levels and interest in teaching English. Have detailed knowledge of grammar does not mean that students have mastery of speaking and
communicating. It's more to dominate part of the subjects that still require practice in terms of written and spoken.
Learning and teaching grammar includes not only a way to manipulate the presentation simple language, but also learn that there are rules in the
context of grammar. If teachers and students are communicating, they should be able to produce language in a way that is understandable. Grammar

CTE will remain part of the education system. It has a long history in this country and historically has been supported and partially funded by the

Parent Involvement During The Primary School
Parent Involvement during the primary school years is a key factor in a child's education. Having parents or even a parent being involved in their child's
education significantly increases positivity in the classroom and at home. Children who know they have a parent or parents that check their homework,
go over study guides, stay in contact with the teacher, etc. want to strive to do a better job in the classroom. Teachers, administrators, students and the
parents can all benefit from the importance of Parent Involvement. Schools shape the community, and from the help of parents staying involved and
knowing what is going on in the classroom, it helps policymakers decide what the best rules and procedures are for our schools. Studies show that
students with positive parent involvement lead to better test grades, homework, and attendance. Even though parent involvement is important in all of
the years of a student's educational journey, involvement in the primary school years shape the path ahead for a successful student, which comes from a
positive parental influence.
Throughout history parent involvement has always been studied and has remained an important factor in a child education. It is shown that there has

For a country to be technologically developed there is need for efficient handling of mathematics at levels of education. The perennial low performance

techniques. This paper highlighted the basic principles for effective teaching and learning of mathematics in primary school which is a fundamental
stage of child education. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The teacher may acquire mastery of the contents but lack skills in the appropriate methods. This may affect the students understanding of the subjects.
There are many approaches to teaching of mathematics. These include: * Problem solving * Discovery Approach * Expository * Laboratory *
Questioning skills * Individualization group work * Demonstration, etc. (Johnson & Rising, 1972)
All these methods are good but no teaching method could be regarded as superior to the other. In application, combination of these methods will be
desirable. It all depends on the content, objectives and the nature of the learners.
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS 1. Basic stages of teaching and learning
Fakuade (1981) identifed three significant stages of learning topics in mathematics. These are: * Concrete materials and demonstration of real life
situation stage * Semi–concrete or pictorial studies stage * Abstraction stage Pupils in the primary schools have the age ranges between 5 and 12. This
is the age period that coincides approximately with the Piaget's concrete operational stage. This is a transitional stage between the pre–operational
period (a period when the child cannot yet perform any serious operation, a period of intuition when the child's reasoning is not yet quite logical) and

examination was replaced by a non–selective system on all local education authorities (LEAs) governed by 1976 Education Act. Non–selective system
means the provision of education in any school where arrangements for the admission of pupils to the school are based on selection wholly or
mainly by reference to ability or aptitude for music or dancing (Trowler, 2003).In the 1980 Education Act parents were given right to choose the
school they wanted (though LEAs could refuse on grounds of inefficient use of resources (Trowler, 2003). The Education Reform Act 1988 which is
regarded another profound influential education legislation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (Scottish education legislation is separate from
that of the rest of the UK.) enabled existing maintained schools to opt out of LEAs control (Trowler, 2003). In the 1998 School Standards and
Framework Act set out a new framework for schools (to be implemented from 2000) with community schools replacing county schools and foundation
schools replacing GM schools (Trowler, 2003). The latest act–Academies Act 2010 continued to promote the process of giving equal opportunity to

Should School Uniforms Be Mandatory In Primary And...

  • 1. Should School Uniforms Be Mandatory In Primary And... I believe school uniforms should be mandatory in primary and secondary schools because it relieves discrimination and students. School is a place to learn, not to exhibit fashion, wealth or privilege. Unfortunately, now kids spend so much time being stressed about popularity that they hardly have the energy to learn anything valuable. Parents as well can benefit because buying uniforms is much cheaper and less stressful than spending large amounts of money and time purchasing varied clothes, usually for more than one child at a time. It is cheaper to wear school uniforms because you only have to buy one or two sets of clothes for the entire year, whereas most people buy up to 20 outfits in a uniform free school. School uniforms take the pressure off students to pay top dollar for clothes, according to Reginald Wilson, a senior scholar at the American Council onEducation in Washington, D.C. "I think it does lower the cost of clothes, and kids don't emphasize clothes as much when they're all wearing the same thing," Wilson said. "Certainly the competition to wear the best shoes or the best sweaters and so forth has been prevalent in school ever since I was in school, and the poor kids felt inferior." Therefore, when all students are dressed alike, competition between students over clothing choices and the teasing of those who are dressed in less expensive or less fashionable outfits can be eliminated. It also really helps to get up in the morning and not have to think about ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Common Core Educational Programs For Primary Schools Common Core educational programs have been showing up in primary schools all throughout the nation in the past decade; educators and legislators alike saw the need for standardized skill sets among primary school children. Many people will agree that training in certain areas of arithmetic, English and grammar, and history are crucial for success in the modern economy. Despite this agreement, there is an ever–growing divide between parents and legislators on whether or not the programs are helping, or hurting these children. Erik Erickson, a parent to a second–grader, originally supported common core, stating that: "In a society as mobile as ours, kids moving from one state to another should not be so far behind or ahead students in their new state. A common set of skills at each grade across the nation makes sense ("Why Parents Like Me are Angry about Common Core")." However, once he saw his own child struggling to keep up with the "convoluted" mathematic lessons, he had to reexamine his own opinions on the matter. Erickson and his wife (both proficient mathematicians), struggled to help their second grader with her math homework; and they weren't the only ones. Erickson received calls from many parents expressing how they too had difficulty helping their children with their schoolwork; one mother described how her child's school offered to give her lessons on the material so she could help her child ("Why Parents Like Me are Angry about Common Core"). This is the crux of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. The Effects Of Class Size On Primary School Education Effects of Class Size on Primary School Education Primary school class sizes should be reduced to increase the number of students who achieve consistent academic success, as well as teachers' abilities to sufficiently teach students. Teachers will also have to adjust their teaching methods to accommodate a smaller class. Most parents when asked if they believe that class sizes matter will tell you yes, they certainly do. Researches show that cutting class sizes has proven to only be effective in primary school (Blatchford et al., n.d.). As the grades go up, the results go down. Secondary schools do not show much results when researchers experiment with class sizes, no matter the area. A student's ability is often determined by how well a teacher educates them on a subject. Research conducted by Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach says that teachers should be able to change their pedagogy, or teaching methods, to be more efficient in teaching depending on class size (Schanzenbach, 2014). Teachers would have to teach and act in a different manner depending on class size because there would be less students to worry about. The idea that teachers have to change their pedagogy based on the size of a class is very popular, even among teachers (Woods, 2015). A great amount of the teacher population agrees that reducing class sizes would make teaching easier. It would also mean less grading. However, Gary James Harfitt made a suggestion based off his own research that teachers do not ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Also including the monitoring and supporting of children's social, physical, psychological, emotional and cognitive improvement in order to prevent any difficulties that might come up.

Conclusion As seen above there are lots of differences as well as some similarities. The main difference between early yearseducation is the compulsory age. While in Finland the compulsory age is 5, in Hungary it is 3. Another really important difference is that in Hungary the primary school teacher will teach children for four years while in Finland children will have the same teacher for 6 years, sometimes even more. Comparing only the first two years of primary education it is not really necessary due to the lot of similarities. However, in Hungary there are much more P.E. lessons than in Finland. The raising number of the lessons was a necessity as unfortunately, in Hungary, there is an increasing number of obese children. Therefore, the number of hours of physical education had been increased by the government to handle this problem somehow. Another contrast is the school fee. Meanwhile Hungarian parents have to pay for meals and school materials of their children, these things are provided for Finnish pupils by the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. A 21st Century Curriculum : A Maintained Primary Schools A 21st Century Curriculum A maintained primary schools. The aims of the national curriculum is to provide opportunities for all pupils to learn and to achieve as well as promoting pupils' spiritual, moral, social, cultural development and prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life (QCDA, 2010). The curriculum came about after the 1988 Education reform act (house of commons 2009). In 1989 it started to be implemented into primary schools and secondary schools. It's first review of the national curriculum happened in 1993 because teachers complained about the testing methods that were being used. This mean Sir Ron Dearing was brought in and then a revised national curriculum was then introduced in 1995. Even in 1988 the core subjects were listed as mathematics, English and science. (DfES 2011) This is still the case in the curriculum in 2014. In 1982 Kelly described the curriculum as: A curriculum consists of experiences developed from learners ' needs and characteristics (as opposed to the needs of society), and a large measure of freedom for both teacher and learner is a necessary condition for education of this kind. (Kelly 1982:140) Meaning that the teachers would decide what was taught as they saw necessary rather than what society needed. The curriculum now has been changed and is now being implemented in schools. The changes to the curriculum have been ones that have made the curriculum better in terms of the rigorousness ...

Representation Of Male Teachers Within A Primary School Bell (2010, p.117) states that "Methods are selected because they will provide the date you require to produce a piece of research" which states the importance of using data collection methods and also having a structured approach to your research. This research project will be small scale, and will gather information about the under representation of male teachers within a primary school, based on current primary school teachers perspectives.

Data Collection For this investigation, interviews are going to be used as you can get a range of opinions and interpretations of practioners, and you are able to get reliable and strong answers due to them being face to face. Punch (2009, p.144) metions interviews are a good way to "understand other persons' constructions of reality... and to ask them in such a way that they can tell us in their terms and in a depth which addresses the rich contect that is the substance of their meanings." You are also guaranteed to get a good response rate, as the peole youinterview have already been asked. The questions used within the interview will be of a semi–structure basis as Lambert (2012, p.104) states, "the researcher prepares the main questions beforehand, but during the interview may ask additional questions, or additional topics." This allows the researcher to gain more understanding of what the participants opinion is, and also ask about topics which the researcher may not be aware of that have been brought up during the interview. The questions will also consist of open and closed questions, as Palgrave (no date) states "if you ask open questions you could elicit an almost endess number of responses" which allows for the interviewer to gain more information and can keep the interview more casual making the interviewee more ...

  • 7. Primary Functions Of The Professional School Counselor What are the primary functions of the professional school counselor? Functions of the school counselor have changed throughout the decades (Dollarhide & Saginak, 2012). To support the current school reform movement, school counselors focus on standards that students should be able to accomplish because of their participation in a school counseling program (Wilkerson, 2010). It is suggested that these standards help to support students' ability to be ready to learn (Wilkerson, 2010). Through the use of these standards, professional school counselors have a primary responsibility to provide effective services to support students in their academic success, career and college development, and social/emotional development (American School Counselor Association [ASCA], 2012). School counselors provide services to students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program that supports student success through application of systemic change, advocacy, collaboration, and leadership skills (ASCA, 2012). For instance, if a counselor sees barriers that are interfering with student success, the counselor should advocate for students or empower students to advocate for themselves. Further, through the use of the ASCA (2012) model, professional school counselors provide a comprehensive school counseling program that focuses on foundation, management, delivery, and accountability (ASCA, 2012). For example, school counselors provide delivery of the school counseling program by ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Investigating the Benefits of Accessing to Pre-school... Pre–school is the school that provides pupils to learn the pre–basic. Especially, the high quality standard of pre–school can offer pupils to develop their language and skills. Little kids who can talk and walk can attend to pre–school by their parents. Most of them are from the year of three to five. Pre–school has various benefits to pupils. However, pre–school also have its affection to pupils. Thus, we divide our literature review into two to points – the benefits of pre–school and the effective of pre–school. The benefits of pre–school After pupils attended to pre–school, they have enough ability to grow their characters and behaviors in their level. Many benefits that pupils can encourage themselves like social development, intelligent ability, feeling growth, language practice, and physical expansion. These benefits will lead pupils to be enhanced for their next school. Furthermore, only standard quality pre–school can provide such of benefits to pupils. According to Clare Country Childcare Committee (2011) stated that the benefit of pre–school will be making the move to primary school for the pupils. The benefits of these include social development, intellectual development, emotional development, language development, and physical development. When pupils leave their parents for the first time to attend to pre–school, they might not adapt well to the school environment.

  • 9. The Importance of Break Time or Playtime in Primary School 1.0Introduction The modernized world has changed people's perception on how they look at break time or playtime. Many people fail to give importance on break time or playtime in primary school. Thus, the duration given for playtime in primary school level has eventually reduced down the years. The NF (2014) states that 'school breaktimes are getting shorter despite pupils and teachers recognizing them as an important opportunity for physical exercise and socializing'. Rochman (2012) mentioned that 'playtime can be as important as class time for helping students perform their best'. If studying is claimed to be important and is the main focus at primary school level, playtime is equally important too as playtime is the duration where ...

Comparing two student, student A and student B, student A is allowed to have playtime while student B is restricted from playtime. Academic results of both student shows that student A achieves better academically compared to student B. Several studies show that activities carried out during playtime has a connection with learning in the classroom. For example, an article by Davis and Pollock (2012) mentioned that 'impact of exercise on children's cognition implies a link to academic performance. Population studies provide evidence that inactivity and excess weight are associated with poor academic achievement'. Parker (2013) stated that playtime which is made use for role play can aid in child's literacy skills. Insufficient duration allocated for playtime can result in bad performance in academic. Pellegrini and Davis found that a student left to work on instructed task or activity without any rest will tend to lose focus on the task assigned (1995). Studies shows that children exposed to playtime behave better in classroom compared to those children who do not have recess. A study carried out on children with and without Attention–Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder by Ridgway et al. showed that the statistic of students with behavioral problems were greater on the days the students were restricted ...

  • 10. The Children And Their Primary Schools Report The children and their primary schools report, also known as the Plowden Report, was published in 1967 by the Central Advisory Council and written by Bridget Plowden. The aim of the report was to consider Primary Education in all of its aspects and the transition from primary to secondary education. The Report took four years to write and was published just after the post Second World War. At this time many people believed that environmental influences played a significant role in the development of students. (Bartlett et al., 2001). The Plowden documented different recommendations into how children should be taught and strongly emphasised the importance of the first 6years of a child's education. The report also looked closely at any social inequalities that might affect the child's learning such as family size and/or overcrowding. The Plowden also had a major influence on today's education, it introduced a new style of teaching and learning, that hadn't been used before. Before the report was published, education was taught in a very traditional and didactic way of the teacher standing at the front of the class and sharing their knowledge to the children who expected to just listen and take in the information. However after its publication the way in which children was taught became very child centred with them becoming more involved in their learning and the lessons were adapted in a way that would benefit and interest the child as the Plowden states that .Many people ...

Studies that included children with medical or educational diagnoses that may confound the results were excluded from the search (e.g. developmental coordination disorder, autism, severe developmental delay, etc.). As this study aims to explore and compare the components of handwriting interventions that are effective; studies that did not describe an intervention strategy to improve handwriting were excluded from the review. 2.4 Critical Appraisal In order to assess the validity and usefulness of the papers, a systematic approach is used to critically appraise the research (Young and Soloman, 2009). All papers in this review have been critically appraised using the critical appraisal protocol CASP (Public Health Resource Unit (PHRU) 2007) which is a recognised tool (Aveyard 2010). These can be found in the appendix (appendices 1 – 5). 2.5 Searching the papers A total of 152 papers were found through database searching. A further 5 papers were found through reference lists of relevant papers. 141 papers remained when duplicates were removed. After scanning the titles of the papers, 116 were removed, as they were irrelevant to the topic of handwriting interventions for primary school children.

Yes, the notion is true. As even for the expression of views one must be proficient enough in learning a foreign language.

  • 14. The Importance Of Foreign Language In Primary Schools The United States is further behind in education than many other countries. They are lacking behind in math and science compared to Asian countries. They are more below in arts than European countries. They are also further behind in foreign language than the rest of the world. Children are more receptive to learning when it begins at an early age. To obtain a positive and better quality of learning, foreign language should be considered in being implemented in primary school. There are many arguments as to why there should not be foreign language integration into primary school in the United States. The many challenges of the public school system are; lack of parental involvement, standardized testing, budget cuts, student population, and lack of teachers of education. To add in another curriculum into the already challenged school year, would be a daunting task with so many obstacles as it is.

Children 's Consumption At Primary Schools According to the peer–reviewed article "Validation of the School Lunch Recall Questionnaire to Capture School Lunch Intake of Third– to Fifth–Grade Students" by Amy Paxton, MPH, RD, Suzanne Domel Baxter, PhD, RD, LD, FADA, Phyllis Fleming, PhD, and Alice Ammerman, DrPH, RD, there is an important need for new, more accurate and efficient means of childhood dietary assessment methods within schools. Throughout this study, childhood dietary intake evaluations are used to recall or observe children's consumption at primary schools. Due to increasing statistics of childhood obesity and current expensive, time and resource heavy methods of assessment, an improved means of intake evaluation could prove beneficial. Through this study or research,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... With childhood obesity at a profound high, the study emphasizes that it is of great importance that methods be taken to appropriately measure and positively influence children's meal intake. Research confirms that the majority of dietary customs are established during childhood. Therefore, proper childhood dietetic assessments are a beneficial method to improve and measure food choices of children during lunchtime at primary schools. As stated by the authors, present evaluations of children's dietary consumption are "24–hour recalls" and "meal observations". Conversely, these implements are identified as exclusive and particularly resource dependent. As indicated by its title, the "24–hour recall" questions children in primary schools about their entire meal consumption throughout a day's span. In opposition of the method, prior studies indicate it is rather challenging for young children to correctly recall a complete day's meal ingestion. Thus, not only is the "24–hour recall" potentially inaccurate, but the assessment uses an abundant amount of time and money. Another type of dietary assessment, "meal observations", appear to be more precise than "24–hour recalls", but the resources used are still high. Lastly, "food frequencies, food diaries, and combination of food frequencies and 24–hour recalls" have been used as ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Upon graduating Year 12, the concept just 'clicked'; as for over 5 years I had thoroughly enjoyed teaching ballroom dancing to children and it made sense to me to enter such a profession. I deeply treasured seeing my students flourish into delightful young dancers with my teaching. The most significant reason I enjoy teaching is to see the difference I can make in students lives, no matter how immense or minor the change is. I love witnessing students get excited about learning, and just how much they can grow and develop over a period of time. The dramatic shift and knowing I had helped her achieve this, was one of the best feelings, and my favourite aspect of teaching. The experience that has been most valuable is the 32 weeks of practicum, which was part of my Primary Education degree at The University of Notre Dame. This greatly impacted my whole perspective on the profession, as it made all the theory and pedagogy meaningful to me, witnessing and practicing it in a variety of classrooms. A common theme that has been present in my degree is all students are unique and complex in their own way and it is our role as a teacher to teach in a way that caters for each and every one of them.

Due to lack of basic education and resources to continue school, Mexico experiences one of the lowest enrollment rates in higher education. According to the International Journal of Educational Development (2014), Mexico's national dropout rate between primary and secondary schools is at 44% resulting in less students attending college (Gibbs B.G.& Heaton T.B., 2014).

These three components link together however they should not be considered as a linear experience because assessment should not and does not always occur at the end of these processes (Earl, 2003). The process has a cyclic nature where each part contributes to the final outcome; you must plan to be able to teach a lesson, but to do so you must assess prior knowledge to allow for future progression. I will explore how this important cyclic process takes place and how different approaches, such as using story books, are used to do so in relation to the foundation subjects, particularly looking at Religious Education (RE), music and computing. Thorough planning in the primary school is important as it ensures teachers have a structure and context for each lesson and that they can have a positive impact on children's learning and progress. Pugh and Pugh (1998, p. 115) recognise that without clear planning, teachers would not know what they're trying to achieve, how to achieve it and when it is to be achieved.

Ainscow (2007:3) argues that the biggest challenge facing the education system, is the development of practices that will reach out to learners failed by existing arrangements. It is my belief that the most effective way of tackling this matter is through this collaborative way of working. This enables practitioners to challenge and redefine entrenched views of 'difference' that can have a negative impact on certain types of learners and find new ways of moving forward. This ethos is reflected in every day teaching and learning. Every child within the school is treated respectfully as an individual and lessons are strategically planned to accommodate all needs and aspirations.

He is an all round sports enthusiast who relishes any opportunity to take part in team experiences and possesses excellent leadership skills. However, Kyle is dyslexic and came to Year 6 disengaged with his learning and lacking in self–esteem and motivation.

This ambition can be represented through the numerous teaching schemes, courses and initiatives that have also been made available by organisations such the Physical Education Association (PEA) as reported latter on in the assignment. Furthermore the government have the responsibility for deciding on the cornerstone set of guidelines known as the National Curriculum.

  • 38. Parent Involvement During The Primary School Parent Involvement during the primary school years is a key factor in a child's education. Having parents or even a parent being involved in their child's education significantly increases positivity in the classroom and at home. Children who know they have a parent or parents that check their homework, go over study guides, stay in contact with the teacher, etc. want to strive to do a better job in the classroom. Teachers, administrators, students and the parents can all benefit from the importance of Parent Involvement. Schools shape the community, and from the help of parents staying involved and knowing what is going on in the classroom, it helps policymakers decide what the best rules and procedures are for our schools. Studies show that students with positive parent involvement lead to better test grades, homework, and attendance. Even though parent involvement is important in all of the years of a student's educational journey, involvement in the primary school years shape the path ahead for a successful student, which comes from a positive parental influence. Throughout history parent involvement has always been studied and has remained an important factor in a child education. It is shown that there has always been more Parent involvement in the primary years of education as it "increased dramatically from 1999 to 2007 from on average 77% to 89%" (National Household Educators Survey Program) in the primary years. 1999 to 2007 show an increasingly amount of parent ...

  • 39. An Interview With A Primary School Learner In a field such as teaching where children are the learners, it is sometimes forgotten how much they notice in the classroom. Taking the time to interview different students allows the teacher to better understand the situation and deal with it accordingly to improve themselves in their field. In an interview with a primary school learner, answers were shared about how the parents feel about the school and his English course, how the student felt about his routine, how he feels about his teachers and what he thinks about his school and courses as well as what he likes to do in his spare time. Taking his answers into consideration, there were reflections made about his attitude toward school, his curriculum, how he fits into the norm of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Whether he is learning ESL or FSL, he is not improving as his parents believe he should. He is so advanced in both that he is bored in the classroom and not being challenged enough to succeed as his parents believe he can. His parents and community all do their best to let him flourish in both languages but when it comes to the classroom, it seems he has hit the plateau. Children talk to their parents often enough about how great or boring their teachers are that Gabriele answered my questions with ease. Gabriele shared with me that his schedule alternated every two weeks. That means that one week he has 1.5 hours of English, or his other classes such as gym or music, and the next week he has 3 hours. That shift in exposure surely cannot allow the average ESL learner enough time to practice consistently as they need. Besides his alternating schedule, he claims o not really have a routine in his school. The closest thing he has to a routine is when his teacher writes a daily agenda on the board and revisits it to check off what has been completed and follows it in order. Gabriele enjoys school and learning English very much. He enjoys his teachers that allow him to be independent, work in groups, move around and do fun projects. He has other teachers that merely plan independent work for students and projects that seem very boring to students like Gabriele. His least favourite teachers are ones he finds lazy and don't allow him to move ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

There are many approaches to teaching of mathematics. These include: * Problem solving * Discovery Approach * Expository * Laboratory * Questioning skills * Individualization group work * Demonstration, etc. (Johnson & Rising, 1972) All these methods are good but no teaching method could be regarded as superior to the other. In application, combination of these methods will be desirable. It all depends on the content, objectives and the nature of the learners. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS 1. Basic stages of teaching and learning Fakuade (1981) identifed three significant stages of learning topics in mathematics. These are: * Concrete materials and demonstration of real life situation stage * Semi–concrete or pictorial studies stage * Abstraction stage Pupils in the primary schools have the age ranges between 5 and 12. This is the age period that coincides approximately with the Piaget's concrete operational stage. This is a transitional stage between the pre–operational period (a period when the child cannot yet perform any serious operation, a period of intuition when the child's reasoning is not yet quite logical) and the formal operational stage (a period when the child thought process

Analysis the admission policy of primary and secondary... 1.Introduction The value and role of "knowledge" is different in every culture but good basic education is essential in every culture.

General Problem Solving – A test of general knowledge, assessing the ability to apply logic to simple problems (Simon, 1991). This 11–plus examination was replaced by a non–selective system on all local education authorities (LEAs) governed by 1976 Education Act. Non–selective system means the provision of education in any school where arrangements for the admission of pupils to the school are based on selection wholly or mainly by reference to ability or aptitude for music or dancing (Trowler, 2003).In the 1980 Education Act parents were given right to choose the school they wanted (though LEAs could refuse on grounds of inefficient use of resources (Trowler, 2003). The Education Reform Act 1988 which is regarded another profound influential education legislation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (Scottish education legislation is separate from that of the rest of the UK.) enabled existing maintained schools to opt out of LEAs control (Trowler, 2003). In the 1998 School Standards and Framework Act set out a new framework for schools (to be implemented from 2000) with community schools replacing county schools and foundation schools replacing GM schools (Trowler, 2003). The latest act–Academies Act 2010 continued to promote the process of giving equal opportunity to children from all ethnic backgrounds (Hurst and Sugde, 2011). 3.Current Situation The discussion of school enrolment policies of primary and secondary school among parents have heated over ...
