The teacher believes that education should inspire students to learn and develop skills to meet societal needs. The goal is to guide students to answers through critical thinking, creativity, and rationality. As an educator, they aim to foster inquisition by encouraging students to explore their world and ask questions. They want to create a fair and safe learning environment where students are empowered and mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth. The teacher also hopes to open a door to the world for students and inspire them to reach their highest potential.
This document outlines expectations for teachers from the perspective of parents and students. It discusses preparing students to pass exams, respecting and caring for students, informing parents about student progress, treating all students fairly and consistently, making lesson connections relevant to students, being a professional team player, having strong classroom management skills, setting daily goals and striving to positively impact students.
1) The document discusses the transformation of students into teachers over time through qualifications and experience.
2) It examines challenges teachers face, such as dealing with disruptive students, and emphasizes strategies like focusing on positive behavior, cultural awareness, and teaching life skills.
3) The author notes issues in modern education like students not wanting to fail, parents viewing education as an investment, and a potential future workforce that is overqualified but underperforming.
To be an effective teacher, one must have a passion for teaching and patience for working with children, taking on multiple supportive roles like a parent, psychologist, nurse, and friend. Teachers should listen to children more than dictate to them, give respect to earn respect, avoid harsh criticism for wrong answers, and provide equal chances for all students to make a positive difference in children's lives through learning.
This poem expresses the perspectives and experiences of a teacher. It discusses how the teacher sees their role as guiding students, accepting challenges, and having faith in their ability to make a difference in students' lives. It acknowledges the challenges of balancing responsibilities but finds reward in being able to influence students. In the conclusion, it encourages others to pursue teaching with an open mind and know that the rewards are in positively impacting students' lives.
The document provides guidance and motivation for students preparing for exams. It stresses that exams are a natural part of life and progress. It encourages students to prepare systematically and face exams with confidence, and not to worry overly about results as marks are not the only measure of success. The document advises developing a healthy routine, staying positive, and drawing inner strength and happiness from within.
This document summarizes arguments against sending children to private schools in response to an article arguing the benefits of private schools. It contends that private schools are more concerned with tradition, history, and aesthetics than preparing students for the future. It also argues that smaller class sizes do not necessarily improve learning outcomes, "hot housing" students for exams is detrimental and stressful, and extracurricular activities at private schools do not inherently create a better society and can promote segregation. The document advocates for looking beyond surface-level factors like facilities and class size when choosing a school.

This document provides information about a home tutoring service called Vir's IB Educators that has been operating in Mumbai, India since 1993. It offers private tutoring for students from renowned schools across various subjects and levels, from school through college. The benefits of home tutoring include enhanced learning through individual attention, identification of student strengths and weaknesses, and a comfortable environment. The service aims to help students succeed through establishing goals, managing time well, dealing with problems promptly, adjusting to student life, focusing on learning rather than grades, maintaining confidence, and relaxing during the learning process. Contact details are provided at the end.
Smart Kids Score is a program that aims to teach children financial literacy through real-world scenarios and examples, rather than just classroom subjects, as children currently don't have a strong understanding of financial concepts like budgeting, saving, and the rising costs of living. The program uses an online curriculum with real-life examples, facilitated educational tours, and a life scenario book to provide comprehensive training and help children understand how to better manage their money now and in the future.
The document outlines the core beliefs and values of Dr. Lindy Valdez regarding life, work, relationships, education, and teaching. Some of the key beliefs expressed are that life should be enjoyed, hard work leads to good things, friends are important, drugs are destructive, love and family are most important, education should be both fun and informative, safety is paramount, and teaching and learning are most meaningful when approached as a partnership between student and teacher built on respect.
Emily Lohse believes that every student has the potential to learn, though not at the same pace. She uses the word "yet" to recognize each student's potential and corrects students when they say they "can't" do something by saying "I can do it, just not yet." She expects students to try their best and not give up, and believes that differentiation and allowing students to learn in different ways is key to teaching. Her role is to facilitate learning through open-ended questions and authentic assessments like projects rather than tests, and to foster a love of learning.
Students feel pressure to choose a career path early without proper guidance and support. They say they don't know what they want to do or what other options exist, and changing paths is difficult. Students think they should have it all figured out but actually feel lost, stressed, and overwhelmed without knowing who to turn to for advice. There is a need for earlier career mentoring to help students experience a smoother transition from school to their career.

The teacher believes that every child can learn and deserves respect and their best efforts. They will maintain a sense of humor in the classroom while allowing students freedom and disagreements. Their primary goal is to enable effective communication and their lessons will be student-centered while grading fairly. They will be well-prepared, encourage parental involvement, cooperate with colleagues, and continually improve themselves professionally.
To make friends at school, one must learn to be a good friend by sharing toys, being nice with kind words, and giving compliments which makes others happy. A good friend shares, uses nice words to make people feel good, and stays quiet if they can't say something nice instead of being mean, which makes friends and teachers happy.
The teacher teaches students how to be good people and professionals, how to problem solve and learn from mistakes, and how to be successful outside the classroom. They teach with encouragement and help each student as much as possible, giving instruction tailored to each student's level. The teacher assesses learning and understanding in various ways, such as signals showing comprehension or having students demonstrate work, and prioritizes based on what students need to learn to progress. The teacher knows they are successful when students feel confident helping others, feel safe and enjoy class, and come to say hello outside of class time.
The document outlines beliefs about philosophy of education. It believes that the purpose of education is to open doors for personal success by teaching life skills like logic, critical thinking, and problem solving. While teachers are responsible for teaching, students must take responsibility for learning. Education should also prepare students for the future by teaching real-world necessities and allowing choice, while keeping high expectations and standards for students to master content before moving forward. Exceptions should be made to account for students performing below or above standards.

After investing 20 years of my life in academics I still wonder sometimes as to what I have been doing all these years as a teacher. Depending upon my frame of mind I do get different responses but nothing concrete. Many a times when I introduce myself as a Chartered Accountant working for management institution teaching students, people are taken a back and with their reaction even I am now forced to introspect whether I did the right thing or not.
People do ask me what do I do as a teacher and my simple answer as always been that I study and imparts behavioral training to my students. I try to best of my ability help students become self-aware by making them to understand their thinking patterns and accordingly help them change themselves.
Many a times I have seen people making a faces exclaiming none can change another person. Such a person doesn’t exist. All this kept me wondering as to what I was doing in the teaching profession was a thankless job… as they say …Those who can, DO. Those who can’t, TEACH.
Last week we had Final Research Project Viva for our graduating PGDM scholars. I was one of the faculty cum director on the panel. We started viva bit early as most of the students were already placed with different organizations.
One after the another student walked in and when it was my turn to ask question I restricted myself to ask what behavioral difference they experience in themselves now specially when they are working. It was really pleasant experience to see the confidence and hear such great experiences from the young minds.
The educational philosophy emphasizes that all children are born with an inherent need to learn. The teacher's role is to foster learning in a safe environment that allows students to explore ideas freely and feel that their opinions matter. An important part of education is adapting to individual student needs since no two children learn the same way. The goal is to provide students with the tools and confidence to think critically about the world and potentially affect positive change.

ABSTRACT
Through the proactive use of data and analytics, Georgia State University has designed a series of interventions which have been partly responsible for raising institutional graduation rates by 22 percentage points. Large-scale programs have included transforming all 7,500 seats in pre-calculus math courses into a hybrid format using adaptive learning (responsible for cutting DWF rates in these courses in half over a five-year period), implementing financial counseling and academic-skills interventions for students who lose the Hope scholarship (which has helped to double the graduation rates for these students), and developing an advising system based on predictive analytics which tracks all undergraduates daily (and which has produced a 5-point increase in semester-to semester retention).

Engaging At Risk Students Through Both Reactive and Proactive MeansKimberly Knowles
The document describes proactive and reactive programs created by an undergraduate program to increase student retention. It provides an overview of multiple intervention points to lay a solid foundation for students, repair cracks and build barriers when issues arise, and reverse damage for at-risk students. Proactive programs include freshman seminars and workshops on time management and majors exploration. Reactive programs include early alert systems, outreach to struggling students, and academic success plans. The document advocates a blueprint for retention that includes dedicated advising, faculty relationships, and online resources. It prompts discussion of effective retention practices and how to develop new intervention points.
Assessment tools in CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) include performance tasks, portfolios, checklists, observations, and other methods to help students learn and measure their progress. Portfolios involve students in the assessment process and help develop self-reflection, critical thinking, and content knowledge. Selection criteria for portfolios are linked to learning outcomes and demonstrate student progress, effort, and results. Performance tasks present complex real-world problems for students to solve and include a tangible product for evaluation.
This risk assessment document identifies potential hazards students may face while filming and taking photographs for a college media studies course. The hazards include slipping on stairs, obstructing pedestrian traffic near a brick wall, congestion in a small blue screen room, and slipping on muddy crates. Control measures are outlined to mitigate each risk, such as being careful on the stairs, only taking photos when no students are nearby the wall, using the blue screen room one group at a time, and only taking photos on dry days near the crates. The document also proposes additional control actions like coordinating with teachers about student break times and having a teacher available to assist any injured students.
Building Language Interest, Confidence, Motivation and Skills: Supporting Str...Chiungwen
This document discusses strategies for supporting struggling Chinese language students using small group instruction. It outlines how the Chinese Language Support program at the Chinese American International School works, including evaluating students' needs, designing instruction plans, and implementing lessons. Two case studies are presented that focus on character recognition and speaking. Specific activities are described such as using radicals, drawing pictures, drills, and games to help students with characters, and communication drills to build speaking skills. Resources for additional support include iPad apps and books on supporting struggling language learners.
1) The Developmental Algebra Project aimed to reduce attrition and improve pass rates in remedial math courses through study skills training and peer coaching of at-risk students.
2) At-risk students were identified using a diagnostic test, survey, and observations and then assigned peer coaches. Peer coaches met weekly with students to review work and prepare for tests.
3) The treatment group that received study skills training and peer coaching had significantly higher retention rates compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in pass rates between the groups. Peer coaching seemed to positively impact pass rates based on number of sessions attended.
This document discusses assessing struggling learners through response to intervention (RTI). It defines screening as assessing all students to identify areas where more assistance is needed. RTI is a multi-tiered model including Tier 1 school-wide core instruction, Tier 2 targeted supplemental interventions, and Tier 3 intensive individualized interventions. The document outlines each tier, including that Tier 2 involves small group instruction 30-45 minutes per week using progress monitoring assessments biweekly or monthly, and Tier 3 is intensive individualized instruction often involving a special education referral.
In a Fl. school district where up to 57% of 6th-8th grade students have been failing math and reading we as a community set out to force the changes we want to see in our community. This is an overview of that plan.
The document provides guidelines for The Bridge Project summer program for grade school and junior high students. It specifies that grade school participants must be in 4th through 6th grade or 9 years old, while junior high participants must be in 7th through 9th grade. It requires parents to sign a hold harmless agreement and acknowledges that the program does not provide accident insurance. It allows photographs of participants to be used for promotional purposes and outlines basic rules of behavior. It provides the schedule, dates, contact information and registration form for the program.
Exceptional students include those who are gifted, talented, or creative. They often demonstrate advanced language, cognitive, and problem-solving skills. Teaching strategies for exceptional students include enrichment, acceleration, and curriculum differentiation. Special needs students may have learning difficulties, underachievement, or disabilities. They receive support through mainstreaming, special schools, or alternative schools to meet their individual needs. The goal is providing the least restrictive environment possible while ensuring students get the support required.
Dyslexia is a lifelong neurological condition that causes difficulties with reading, writing, organization, and other skills. It affects people in varying degrees from mild to severe. While dyslexia cannot be cured, people can develop strategies to overcome challenges. The document provides indicators of dyslexia in adults and guidelines for making text and websites more accessible for those with dyslexia, such as using non-serif fonts and clear navigation. It also lists resources for learning more about dyslexia awareness and support.
Achieve3000 believes that differentiated online literacy instruction can help all students succeed, including English learners and students with special needs. It provides literacy solutions for grades 2-12 that assess students' reading levels, assign passages matched to their skills, and progressively increase the difficulty of texts as students improve. Achieve3000 solutions have been shown to more than double students' expected reading gains.
Using curriculum mapping to assist at risk students finalMike Fisher
The document discusses using curriculum mapping to help "at-risk" students. It begins by laying the foundation, which involves inviting representatives from the school and collaborating social services to collect data on standards, assessments, and student records. This data is then used to research technology options like NovaNET for curriculum delivery and student management. The next steps are to collect and assess the data to create an ongoing action plan. Curriculum mapping provides an opportunity to differentiate instruction and build learning communities to meet students' specific needs through a connected, meaningful learning experience.
Poor academic performance; low student and staff morale; prevalent discipline issues-sound familiar? In an era infatuated with achievement test scores, educators struggle to find an appropriate balance between demonstrating that students are, indeed, learning while also providing rigorous and relevant lessons which engage students’ minds and hearts. This session will inspire participants to empower students to be learners no matter where they lie on the continuum of achievement.
Students at risk are those who may have difficulty completing high school or living independently due to warning signs, tendencies, basic needs not being met, social influences, language/cultural obstacles, home circumstances, learning disabilities, medical conditions, or learned helplessness patterns. Factors putting students at risk can be academic, physiological, behavioral, social, familial, cultural/environmental, or historical. Strategies to help at-risk students include individualized attention, interest-based material, differentiated instruction, authentic assessments, intervention plans, and support services.
This document provides information for parents about an 8th grade parent information night presented by GEAR UP. It summarizes the goals of GEAR UP to increase academic performance, high school graduation rates, and knowledge of post-secondary options. The presentation will cover special 8th grade dates, workshops, an overview of high school options and the school choice fair, EXPLORE test, what is college readiness, and summer program options. It also provides details on high school graduation requirements, UC and CSU entrance requirements, and motivational activities offered through GEAR UP.
This document discusses effective teaching and education. It contains opinions from multiple individuals on topics such as:
- The qualities of effective teachers, including being a mentor and source of inspiration.
- Different learning styles of children and how current school systems may not adequately support children's natural curiosity and skills.
- The need for more focus on facilitating learning tailored to individual students, rather than rigid classroom teaching and comparisons between schools.
- Views that discipline issues may stem from forcing children into an artificial school environment against their natural development and instincts.
This document discusses the role and responsibilities of teachers. It states that teachers are the foundation of society as they educate everyone. Teachers provide security for students and can be like parental figures for those without strong parents. The document also notes that teachers have many obligations, including being role models and influencing students' lives, and these should be seen as honors rather than just obligations. It concludes by discussing the author's plans and ideals for when they become an elementary school teacher, such as making the classroom environment welcoming and using various teaching styles.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
