Good student
Being a successful college student requires developing good study habits and time management skills. The document outlines responsibilities students should have, such as attending class regularly, completing assignments on time, and following school regulations. It then provides tips for creating an effective study schedule that balances activities and limits study sessions to no more than two hours. Finally, the document lists habits of successful students like planning specific study times, starting and finishing study sessions as planned, reviewing notes before assignments, and calling classmates when help is needed. The overall goal is to help all students improve their study habits and skills to pass courses, finish college, and have a brighter future.
Cayman Islands National Education Conference 2017
1) The document discusses effective classroom management strategies, focusing on developing a positive classroom culture and understanding student behavior from a brain science perspective.
2) It emphasizes the importance of being a role model, using recognition over punishment, restorative practices, and meeting student needs as outlined in Maslow's hierarchy.
3) The author shares tips for managing their own emotions when students test limits, such as keeping solid, positive, in control, and focused, as well as the importance of being a champion for every child.
teacher's challeges
Beginning teachers face many challenges in their initial years of teaching. This article examines how novice teachers develop coping strategies to deal with the complex problems they encounter. It finds that the ability to "satisfice" - to develop temporary solutions - helps teachers survive these early challenges. However, satisficing is a skill developed with experience. The article concludes that experienced teachers can help newcomers by mentoring them and helping them learn to cope with the difficulties of initial practice.
Tune ur time
Time management is key to academic success. Students should create a term calendar noting major due dates, a weekly schedule allocating time for classes, study, meals and breaks, and daily to-do lists. Goals should also be set and balanced between academics and personal life. Specific techniques include using daylight hours for studying, reviewing in the evenings, getting enough sleep, eating breakfast, scheduling free time, and saying no to unnecessary commitments. Procrastination stems from unclear priorities and self-doubt and can be overcome by focusing on one task at a time and setting deadlines. Overall success comes from planning, scheduling time effectively, and managing goals and priorities.
Turn it around workshop
The document discusses effective study methods for improving academic performance, noting that focusing solely on grades does not indicate true learning and that regular practice through application of concepts is key to both understanding material and achieving good grades. It recommends students allocate sufficient time each week for structured practice and study using a scheduled plan to avoid wasting time and ensure concepts are mastered.
Learning & Training Notes
This document discusses challenges to learning and training in both classroom and corporate settings. It defines learning and training as communication processes involving transferring content to learners who then retain and apply what they've learned. For optimal learning, learners must approach with open minds and strong desires to learn. Effective teaching methods involve participative and experiential learning like lectures. Assessments are important to measure learning. The document also discusses concepts like mental models, systemic thinking and personal mastery from Peter Senge's Fifth Discipline as important for shared learning.
Honey & Mumford handout 1
The document describes four different learning styles: activists, reflectors, pragmatists, and theorists. Activists like to learn by doing and enjoy new experiences, while reflectors prefer to observe and think before acting. Pragmatists focus on practical application and want learning to be relevant, and theorists enjoy analyzing ideas logically and working individually. Each style has strengths and disadvantages when it comes to preferred ways of learning, working, and potential shortcomings.
Assessment For Learning - Formative Assessment
This document discusses formative assessment strategies and expectations for feedback in the classroom. It covers establishing a growth mindset culture, sharing learning objectives and developing success criteria with students. Teachers are expected to provide feedback on student work using ticks, crosses, or a "2 stars and a wish" approach. Student work should be dated and include the learning objective. Students are responsible for self-assessing their work next to the objective. Teachers must model expectations and allow students to apply feedback to improve their work.
Teaching Self-Management
Teachers need practical and and quick-to-implement strategies to teach self-management to children. Many people are familiar with self-management through Walter Mischel's Marshmallow test. (Some people call it self-control or self-regulation.)
Self-management is a key enabler for all learning (for children and adults!) whether for academic subjects, other content areas, or skills like playing a musical instrument. Self-management allows students to follow through on plans to complete assignments, study for tests, and manage their emotions to stay focused in class.
This presentation is one small piece of a growth mindset toolkit for educators (and parents) developed by Transforming Education. For more information, please visit: http://transformingeducation.org/growth-mindset-toolkit/
Strategies For College Success
Strategies for College Success presented tips for listening actively in class such as sitting in the front row and taking mental summaries, getting organized by creating a weekly schedule that balances all activities and planning two hours of study for every hour of class, and excelling on exams by reviewing material throughout the week instead of cramming and reviewing the entire test before answering questions.
Observing the (common core) classroom
This document provides guidance for observing Common Core classrooms. It instructs the observer to establish expectations and note differences between Common Core and non-Common Core classrooms. Observers are asked to identify their top 3 expectations for what students and teachers will be doing and hearing in a Common Core classroom. The document then has observers watch video clips and analyze what they see in relation to their top 3 expectations, allowing them to modify their expectations based on evidence from real classrooms. The goal is for observers to gain insight on Common Core classroom routines, teaching strategies, and student engagement.
Creative Assessment
This document discusses alternative approaches to assessment that focus on feedback rather than marks. Traditional assessment involves pupils receiving criticism and a mark with little time for reflection. Alternative methods discussed include using success criteria to guide pupil reflection and progression, peer assessment based on shared criteria, thumb ratings of skills and knowledge, and the "two stars and a wish" approach where teachers or peers note two strengths and an area for improvement. The goal is to promote pupil reflection and understanding over simply correcting errors. Web tools like Edmodo and wikis can also provide feedback and support learning beyond the classroom. The key questions are determining what we want students to achieve and how to help them get there.
How beginning teachers learn to survive
The author argues that new teachers need help developing coping strategies to deal with problems, which should happen while they are still in training. Beginners have limited experience solving issues but can learn to create temporary solutions, or "satisfice", which allows them to survive the early years. The paper concludes satisficing enables teachers to get through difficult periods as experience grows. Interviews with student teachers and experienced practitioners provided comparisons and evidence to support this.
Chapter 2 Managing your time
This document discusses time management techniques for students. It identifies common reasons for procrastination like fear of failure or perfectionism. It then provides strategies for overcoming procrastination such as breaking large tasks into smaller ones, avoiding distractions, and setting priorities and deadlines. The document emphasizes creating a schedule and calendar with allocated times for schoolwork, self-care, and other obligations to make the most effective use of time. Regular planning and review of schedules can help students stay organized and reduce stress.
Learning Disabilities
This document provides information and strategies for tutoring students with learning disabilities, particularly in math and reading comprehension. It discusses common issues students may face, such as difficulties with math word problems or decoding text. Suggested tutoring approaches include letting the learning specialist know if a student is struggling with a concept, using text coding to engage students while reading, and implementing activities like read alouds, vocabulary word maps, and exit slips to assess understanding. The overall goal is for tutors to understand learning disabilities and use adaptive techniques to help students learn effectively.
Junior certificate 2019 induction
The document provides tips and advice for preparing for the Junior Certificate exam. It emphasizes practicing consistently over time rather than relying on genius. It recommends getting organized, avoiding distractions, setting goals, reviewing past material, and practicing working against the clock to simulate exam conditions. Maintaining physical and mental health is also presented as important for exam preparation.
The Essentials Of Time
Teachers say they need more time because of increasing demands including implementing new curricula, learning and using new technology, dealing with more student discipline issues, and taking on more administrative tasks. A report found teachers believe these demands on their time have increased over the past six years, especially with more special needs students in regular classes. While technology allows people to move faster, it's unclear if this leads to better outcomes. The author of "In Praise of Slow" advocates slowing down by focusing on one task at a time, taking walks, making one's workspace enjoyable, checking email only when needed, and using breathing exercises to reduce stress.
Leaving certificate 2019 induction
This document provides tips and advice for studying for the Irish Leaving Certificate exams. It discusses treating exam preparation like training for an athletic event by practicing consistently over a long period of time. It emphasizes participating fully in classes, doing homework well, and setting small, achievable goals. The document provides suggestions for effective study habits like taking breaks, studying in the same place each time, and self-testing. It also notes the importance of managing stress, prioritizing important tasks, and avoiding distractions and complaints.
You Are How You Teach
The document provides guidance for fostering a positive academic environment by being a good role model for students, showing passion and excitement for your subject, using humor to humanize yourself, clearly communicating student progress and feedback, embracing new ideas and failure as part of the learning process, leveraging your own skills and those of colleagues, continuously improving yourself and your teaching, and investing in professional growth. A great teacher is one who can teach a subject such that students can then teach it effectively to others.
Forecasting solid waste generation in Juba Town, South Sudan using Artificial...
Prediction of solid waste generation is critical for any long term sustainable waste management, especially of a fast-growing municipality. Lack of, or inaccurate solid waste generation records poses unparalleled challenges in developing cohesive and workable waste management strategies for any concerned authorities, as this is influenced by several interlinked demo-graphic, economic, and socio-cultural factors. The objective of this study was to compare two models in forecasting of MSW generation and how this would be built into an effective MSW management program. Two models, the Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA 1,1) and the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were tested for their ability to predict weekly waste generation of 14 households in Juba Town, Central Equatoria State (CES), South Sudan. Results showed that both the artificial intelligence model ANNs and the traditional ARMA model had good prediction performances; where for ANNs the RMSE, MAPE and r² were 0.080, 10.64%, 0.238 respectively, whereas for ARMA the RMSE, MAPE and r² were 0.102, 6.98% and 0.274 respectively. Both models showed no significant differences and could be therefore be used for Solid Waste (SW) forecasting. Based on the results, the weekly SW generated 52 weeks later (end of year) had reached 0.365 kg/capita indicating a 18.2% rise from 0.3 kg/capita at the start of the study. Under the current consumption rate, the weekly SW per capita in Juba Town is expected to reach 0.596 kg by 2020.

FPGA Implementation of a GA
This document presents an FPGA implementation of a genetic algorithm for identifying parameters of linear and nonlinear auto regressive moving average (ARMA) models. The genetic algorithm uses 6-bit fixed-point arithmetic to reduce hardware costs. Experimental results show the design can accurately identify parameters for both linear and nonlinear models using low FPGA resources.
Final Report SCP
The document discusses using an ARMA model to forecast inflation in Pakistan. It presents monthly CPI data from 1989-2013 to develop the model. The best fitting ARMA model included autoregressive and moving average terms and was used to project CPI values for the next year. The projections estimated CPI would increase modestly each month through June 2014, with percentage changes ranging from 0.3% to 1.0%. The model is best for short-term forecasts and should be re-run quarterly to revise projections.

ARMA and VAR modelling of Industrial Production in America
The document is a project report modeling the US Industrial Production Index using ARMA and VAR models. It includes plots of the IPI data and autocorrelation function. An ARMA(4,11) model is selected based on having the lowest SIC and BIC values compared to other ARMA combinations. The model output shows most coefficients are statistically significant with R-squared of 0.98.
2012.09.18 exploring the glocalization of activism and empowerment
This document discusses the concept of "glocalization" and how it relates to globalization and local activism. It proposes that glocalization represents the globalization of ideology to adapt to and shape local conditions through localized fantasies. These localized fantasies paradoxically reinforce ideologies of global capitalism by making them seem localized and unique to a particular cultural context. One example discussed is the "Beijing Consensus," which presents China's transition to capitalism as culturally specific and empowering to the nation. The document suggests future research could further examine competing localized fantasies of capitalism and how resistance and activism are also being shaped by these fantasies.

Forecasting IP using ARMA and VAR
This document discusses modeling industrial production (IP) using ARMA and VAR models. It contains the following key points:
1. An ARMA(4,11) model is selected to model IP based on it having the lowest SIC and BIC values as well as a simple parameterization. The model fits the data well with stationary fluctuations around a constant mean.
2. Additional explanatory variables of housing starts, industrial materials, manufacturing & trade sales, and unemployment are added to the ARMA(5,12) model, improving the fit.
3. The multivariate model is used to generate dynamic forecasts of IP through 2015. Impulse response functions show how the 5 variables respond to a standardized shock in

The document summarizes medium-term trends in Ireland's labor market from 1998-2017. It finds that while employment doubled over this period, the employment rate remains below other Northern European countries. There was a shift away from industry and agriculture towards healthcare and education. Female labor force participation lags the EU average, and regional employment growth has not significantly favored Dublin. Wage and productivity growth in Ireland has also been comparatively weak. Key barriers to employment include the high cost of childcare and lack of an industrial policy following industry declines. Volatility in employment may be difficult to avoid in small open economies.

The document summarizes results from an analysis of firm-level productivity in Ireland between 2006-2014 using a multi-factor productivity model. Key findings include: productivity growth has declined since the 1990s both in Ireland and globally; a small number of large firms account for most value added and employment; foreign-owned firms have significantly higher productivity and wages than domestic firms; and productivity dispersion between the most and least productive firms has widened over time. The analysis finds potential for improving efficiency of resource allocation across firms.

The document summarizes a presentation on taxation, work and gender equality in Ireland. It finds that Ireland's partial individualization of the income tax system in 2000 increased the employment rate of married women by 5-6 percentage points and their weekly work hours by 2 hours on average. It also reduced the weekly hours of unpaid childcare performed by married women with children by 3 hours. The policy achieved its goal of increasing incentives for spouses, especially women, to join the labor force. Further individualization may be considered but must account for distributional impacts and ways to address fixed costs of work.

Ivan Privalko, What do Workers get from Mobility?
Voluntary job mobility, such as quits and promotions, is assumed to lead to improved wages and working conditions. However, studies have found mixed and inconsistent results regarding the effects of different types of voluntary mobility on objective and subjective work outcomes. This document analyzes data from the British Household Panel Survey to compare the effects of internal voluntary mobility (promotions), external voluntary mobility (quits), and involuntary mobility (demotions, layoffs) on subjective satisfaction and objective pay. It finds that external voluntary mobility most increases subjective satisfaction, while internal voluntary mobility provides the largest objective pay benefits. Voluntary mobility within versus between employers leads to different work rewards.
