...Different Schools Model Natalie Jones EDU650: Teaching, Learning and Leading in the 21st Century Instructor: Angela Stevens March 16, 2015 Different Schools Model All Learning institutions have different beliefs and styles when it comes to how teachers implement their lessons and strategies. Although, educators have different method, their share the same objective and that is to design and apply material to the appropriate age in such a way that students are able to learn and excel in their learning style. The two schools that I want to discuss are both public school, but they have a different classroom and learning dynamic.

...When watching The Bare Bears, one amazing thing I have noticed is that the friendship among them. They are so close to each other, but when a girl later involved in the friendship. Things seems have changed. Panda fell in love with the girl, but they other bears see the girl as a good friend. Later, there are funny things happen because of this. I was wondering what is this thing that makes friendship different between opposite sex. According to this, the question I used to lead my research is “What is the difference between same sex and different sex friendship?” This question is kind of broad and what I intend to do is looking to some specific aspects about it, especially gender. I searched a few research articles and found some that fits...

...ships inside the Lager. In describing the gray zone, Levi discusses the different roles of prisoners assigned by the Nazi. The prisoners that did the work were seen as being more privileged which at the end of the day helped them get more food and live better. Therefore, the concept of the gray zone is analyzing the difference between the privileged and the non-privileged in the Lager. The difference can be seen by the tasks that the prisoners carried out, for example, one of the groups were seen as, “Low ranking functionaries... sweepers, kettle washers, night watchmen, bed smoothers... checkers of lice and scabies, messengers, interpreters, assistants’ assistants. In general, these people poor devils like ourselves, who worked full time like everyone else but who for an extra half liter of soup were willing to carry out these and other ‘tertiary’ functions.” This group was seen as harmless and not much different than the underprivileged. The other group of prisoners in the Lager was seen as the enemies to their own people. They were referred to as the Kapos who were “free to commit the worst atrocities on their subject as punishment for any transgressions, or even without any motive whatsoever: until the end of 1943 it was not unusual for a prisoner to be beaten to death by a Kapo without the latter having to fear any sanctions.” The prisoners that became part of the Kapo were seen as permanent. They were not accepted back by their people if they were willing to give...

...My 4th year High School Life, Different from Others Alyssa Bea Tanda, IV-Br. Flavius High school life is really fun. There are so many happenings in your life that you will never forget, so many things that had changed your life. For me there are many things in my life that changed a lot in me but I can say that the one that had changed me the most is my being a 4th year high school student. I don’t know why, but I really learned a lot in this part of my life. There are also some good effects of me being a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year high school student, but being a fourth year student is really different. It’s different from my other past experiences. The first day of 4th year came and I found out that my section is Br. Flavius, wherein my classmates were also my classmates when I was in 3rd year. At first I had thought of transferring to other section, because I want something new and I want to have new friends with other people. But then I had a realization that I can’t afford to be away from my friends. I also thought that it is God’s will that I am part of that section, so there is a purpose why I belong here. One of the main reasons why I decided not to transfer to other section is because I learned that the adviser of our section is Mr. Joseph Consignado. Even when I was still on the lower years, I already know his name. Many people say that he is one of the best advisers of the high school department. Every section that he handled was always known to be one of the best...

...Technology’s Effect on Reading Skills Things are much different from the generation in which I grew up technology-wise. We had few television shows for kids other than Saturday morning cartoons. Computers, even the PCs at home, were used for accounting programs or very early e-mail. There were very few games for kids and it took those forever for them to load. There were not many game systems and none of them were portable. We also did not have the cell phones that are available now with internet access. We did not even have internet. Things have come a long way since then. Today’s kids have access to cell phones, iPods, tablets, laptops, and a lot more options available to them. Modern technology has had both a positive and a negative impact on the current generation's ability to improve their reading skills. Kids growing up in 2015 are growing up in a different world. Life has a much faster pace in this era of technology. People can get things on demand and immediately. Kids in school have a harder time paying attention for long periods of time. This makes sitting still and paying attention to a teacher’s lecture difficult. It also makes getting past a possible slow part of a book or passage tough. Most of their electronics come with many different options and if they don’t like whatever is on they can change it. This makes teaching students what is needed for them to pass the standardized test very difficult. Another issue students have is lowered comprehension. Students...

...Assess the view that factors and processes within the school are the main cause of differences in the educational achievement of different social groups. It is clear that there are differences in educational achievement of certain social groups, such as gender, ethnicity, and social class. Some may argue that this is due to internal factors, reasons from within the education system. However, others argue that the differences are due to external factors, which occur outside of the education system. An internal factor that causes difference in educational achievement is labelling. This is when a teacher makes assumptions about a student and treats them accordingly to that assumption. An example of this is the fact that teachers label boys as more disruptive than girls. Teachers communicate with girls more positively because they see them as being more co-operative. This can then raise girl’s self esteem which raises their achievement. Teachers have lower expectations of boys, and expect them to misbehave more often. Becky Francis found that while boys got more attention in class, they were disciplined more harshly and felt picked on by teachers. This would lead to them retaliating with bad behaviour, thus lowering their achievements. Labelling can also happen to people due to their ethnicity. Gillborn found that teachers were quicker to discipline black pupils than others for the same behaviour. Gillborn and Youdell found that this is the result of teacher’s radicalised expectations...

...described. To properly assess these different factors and events we have decided to develop a multi-causal analysis: * Company structure and organizational culture events – Introducing change and its consequences * Technical complexity and technical risk * Rapport and follow-up strategy events – Superior-subordinate relationship, feedback and interpersonal conflict * Priorities and workflow coordination events Structure and culture: Manufacturing vs. Design We can identify strong evidence that there is a deep lack of understanding of the culture of manufacturing by the design unit and vice-versa. This factor is perfectly clear when the manufacturing engineers’ complain about the working procedures of the design unit, as quoted “They can’t work the production problems from an office… each week we had to spend time trying to convince them that we knew what we were doing”. Such lack of understanding might contribute to inefficient communication between the two teams, affecting the execution of the project. The manufacture part of the project requires the active contribution of engineers from both units. It is, therefore, essential that those two teams work closely together in order to proceed with the project. Notwithstanding, several problems arose, as illustrated in the statements presented before. We will discuss further how and why this lack of understanding could have been originated. Cooperation among different cultures and structures As presented...

...In this paper, I will be analyzing one the most successful campaigns in the history of advertising. In August ’97, Steve Jobs who had co-founded Apple Computers returned to the Company once again as its chief executive officer. Those were the times Apple was amidst crisis. Among many things that he addressed, the most important was to redefine Apple’s image in the global market. People were not ready to buy computers from a company who might not last a year. Jobs needed to change this image. Therefore the “Think Different” campaign was an attempt to change to consumer’s perspective for the company. With the “Think Different” campaign, the writers wanted to remind both their consumers and their staff, how Apple thinks differently, using rhetorical appeals of logos, ethos and pathos. It also symbolized the return of the genius that was removed from the company. Apple had lost the “creative” touch during his absence therefore it was very essential for him to create a campaign that would remind the consumers what Apple brand was all about. Through the campaign they hoped to gain their cool, hip image back. The writers used reasoning (logos), rhetorical appeal to stimulate audience’s common sense, beliefs and values by honoring revolutionary heroes and rationalizing that creative thinking produces positive change. The writer used pre-existing simple facts that drew conclusions in their favor. The visual elements included a set of historical influential people having...

...of my envelopment as a child and a teenager has been surrounded by political issues, involving my country into sad and hard situations, destroying our culture, education and economy, forcing and scaring the people who decided to trust into a different opinion against the government, those ones will be recognized as “Traitors” and “Enemies of the nation” at least that was the way they used to call them. The visual arts means to me as a way to escape from reality and open our minds to others, to make them understand that there’s a another world outside complete different as the one who we live in now. At the age of seven, my father took me into a Father-son trip to the beach, where he gave me my first camera, an Instant water proof Kodak, one of the most beautiful gifts that i’m still appreciating from hem. Since then I have been feeling a passion for the Films and Photography a passion who becomes an intuitive path that guides me through life. For me films are about romance, adventures, tears, laughs and smiles, more than recording with a video camera, doing a film involves feelings, inspiration, originality, pushing the boundaries and making us to be able to distinguish ourselves from one another. Every mind is a different world, this life is a gift, no matter how pain full it seems to be, we need to be ready to take a risk, to grow and recognized that everyone has reason to live. I’m taking now the risk, I’m growing up and I’m recognizing my reason to...

...your good side but also your flaws and imperfection. To have a true friend is rare achievement now a days. Now, if you have one then you’re a lucky person. And I guess, I’m one of them. In my case, my bestfriend is my own cousin. She is, in a way, similar to me but also different at the same time. To start with, we are alike in the sense that we talk a lot about things that none of our friends are interested in, like instagram, blogs and youtubes. But somehow different when it comes to the types, she wants a colorful instagram feed and blog while i prefer black and white. Dressing up is both our hobby. Although, I was never into leggings and pants like my her but instead I wear shorts and dresses. Another reason is, both of us are single for we are now scared to get our hearts tore into pieces again, just like what happen with our last relationship. Though, I’m still considering of having a boyfriend, i hope, in the near future unlike her who kinda became of a “man-hater” that doesn’t like boys at all. In terms of attitude, me and my bestfriend mostly had differences than similarities. We always think before we react on a certain situation or dilemma. However, when it comes to handling those, it’s a different story. I don’t know how but she always take problems lightly and positively, no matter how small or big it is while I take mine negatively. It’s very funny that we have a common talent, that is talking non-stop. I’m very realistic and sarcastic like I’m always looking for...

...she describes as a love - orange. Although the death takes a lot of people around her, she sees the funeral as a vacation, a time to come out of the house and a break from her own world. She is smart but childish at the same time, that can only mean that she is older than 10 years, I would say that she where a teenager, because her grandparents where still alive. The girl, that we do not know the name of, often hides under the bed when strangers come by her grand parents house, where she lives. Every time strangers come by, she would say these words to her dog: “A world outside” (P 1 L 8), the dog is a bit redundant in the text, but still an object that is used to support the fact that she is a bit more like other people. She is different, and she thinks she lives in a ‘inside’ world, that is one of the reasons why her grandmother dressed her all white to the neighbours funeral, the other reason why she is dressed all white, is the fact that, she sees the place people come to in the second life, is a place filled with butterflies, sunlight and sweetness. As a symbol, white is the opposite of black that often is a symbol for evil. White is a colour associated with innocence, perfection, and as an angel. When she sees her...

Wallace is trying to bring control to these students he is giving the speech to with the “old fish explaining what water is to you younger fish” (Wallace 1), story because you lose control when you live in the fantasy of you being the “absolute center of the universe” (Wallace 2). How Baldwin tries to get his point across of having control is how he concludes what you can do when there seems to be an unchangeable injustice by giving the options of “the acceptance, totally without rancor..”(Baldwin 64) or “that one must never... accept these injustices as commonplace” (64). Even though they have the same idea of having control when it seems they achieve this through different examples and philosophies in their...

...differences between my sister and me that you could never imagine. We are just so different that if we did not have the same blood, I would think that we were not sisters.

We enjoy different things. In other words, we are just two different types of person that apparently do not have anything in common. My sister name is Aracely. She is younger than me by four years.
