Effects of Language of the Catchment Area in Learning Kiswahiliinventy
Kiswahili one of the compulsory subjects that is nationally examined but there has been complaints about poor performance in schools. This paper is a report of a study carried out in 2012 in Kapseret Division of Uasin Gishu County. The study assessed the effects of the language of the catchment area in learning Kiswahili. The study was guided by sociocultural theory (SCT) and was descriptive in nature. Simple random sampling was used to select 15 out of 50 schools in Kapseret Division, it was also used to select 20 %(750) of standard six pupils from each of the selected schools. Purposive sampling was used to select 30 upper primary Kiswahili teachers; one class six Kiswahili teacher and a Kiswahili panel head from the selected schools. Data was collected using questionnaires, observation checklists. It was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques such as percentages and frequencies. The investigation found out Nandi was the language of the catchment area but Kiswahili was used in communication because of different ethnic communities. Kiswahili be used in schools, parents be sensitized to have a positive attitude towards Kiswahili hence changing the learners attitude.
The document analyzes expanding Krannert Center for the Performing Arts' costume rental operation. It conducts a cost-volume-profit analysis to determine revenue requirements for a new facility versus expanding the workforce. The analysis finds that Krannert's current revenue cannot support a new facility but expanding the workforce is feasible. It then examines the costume rental market, finding Krannert's primary target segments are performing arts and scholastic theaters. Competitors are also analyzed. The document concludes by outlining expansion targets and methods for Krannert to capture more of the $570,358 target market, such as building a workforce and improved marketing.

This document discusses how teachers' religious beliefs and orientations can unconsciously impact their work in the classroom. It presents 5 key questions teachers should ask themselves to increase self-awareness: 1) How religion influences their career choice; 2) How it shapes student relationships; 3) How it affects classroom management; 4) How it impacts views of social roles; 5) How deeply held their beliefs are. The study found teachers integrate religion more if they practice daily, and their willingness to discuss it relates to their experiences with discrimination. Overall, reflecting on these questions can help teachers understand how religion shapes their perspectives and ensure students feel equally valued and supported.

Kanban is a famous lean technique for managing software projects. Actually, it's being used to manage so many types of projects even outside the software domain because of its simplicity and effectiveness. In Software, it's becoming a very famous counterpart to Scrum. Many teams starts with Kanban right away, and keep some practices from Scrum. Others, on the other side, start from Scrum, and move slowly to Kanban.
In this dynamic workshop, we will learn and practice Kanban. We will use the getKanban opensource toolkit v2.0, which is a simulation game for managing a project from start to end using a real Kanban board and related charts and metrics. It will be fun, and full of learning at the same time.

4. AboutMe
Questionnaire
What determined your passion for design?
I’ve always had a passion for art. In the majority of my grade school
classes, I would flip my page over and sketch the structure of the
classroom, the students, even my teacher giving a lesson. It wasn’t
until 8th grade that I chose to pursue a career in architecture. My
freshman year in college, I struggled with an emotional connection with
Environmental Design and completely lost my passion for architecture.
Then in an elective course, we were assigned to watch, “I Want To Be A
Landscape Architect” and with three hours of research, I changed my
major and here I am.
What field are you most interested in and why?
This profession is so broad that I wouldn’t mind experiencing many
different fields. If I could choose right away, I would choose to design
therapy gardens. When I was younger, it was unfortunate that I had to
experience the journey of a terminally ill family member, but fortunate
enough to understand the desires and necessities that lacked at the
time. Which in turn, I hope to take into consideration and address those
needs in the near future.
When you’re not designing or studying, what do you enjoy doing most?
You can’t escape design. Even when I’m sleeping, I’m designing and
constantly researching. But on my “free” time, I devote it all to my
beagle. After a long 12 plus hours at studio, he gives me an incentive to
leave and take a break, which is an amazing feeling to be loved after
long studio hours.
What advice would you give to the younger studios?
Take advantage of the creative design freedom in the earlier studios.
This field is broad and creative design is only a small portion of what we
do. Also, take what you’re most passionate about and somehow apply
it to your projects. In doing so, you become emotionally attached and
your purpose becomes much more than the instructor’s criteria and you
begin to learn more about yourself as a designer.
