... The problem is that schools are not implementing the necessary motivational tools for “At-Risk” students that are already lacking in motivation themselves. This problem results in “At-Risk” students falling short of the appropriate next steps to succeed academically. This is more succinct: The problem is that At-Risk students score lower academically due to lack of motivation. Purpose Statement The action in this research was to analyze the attitude and personalities of 10 adolescents that were eligible for expulsion from school. The students range from ages 12 to 16 and were referred to an expulsion program for various reasons, including no interest in academics, disrespect, poor grades, or just utter defiance. The overall purpose of this research was to discover how “At-Risk” students are motivated and to determine what instructional strategies are most effective in motivating students. The purpose of this study is to see if implementing XXXX will impact the motivation and academic achievement of the At-Risk students in the researcher’s class You need to think of one specific way you can solve the problem and place it in the purpose statement.

...CE310-01: Childrens Literacy Balanced literacy programs should provide a variety of literacy opportunities for every child in the classroom. This is because not all children learn in the same way and what might work for some may not work for others. Literacy programs should provide the appropriate instruction and support. Some elements of a balanced reading program are as follows: Independent Reading * Reading from personal books * Text is self-selected based on one’s own interests and ability to read * Is for pleasure and fluency practice * Allows access to information even though not on level Independent reading is good for children because it gives them the chance to read things they are interested in as well as work on their reading fluency without any criticism. Independence * The choice to where and what they get to read * Able to read with another student if it is on-task behavior * Requires more teacher monitoring at the start of the year Students may gain more independence when given more time each day to read independently or with another student each day. This is at least until they are able to maintain reading for thirty minutes or more. Conferences * Assessment * Goal setting * Level check * Book selection * Book sharing * Evaluating goals Conferences are a time for teachers to get together with students to do any assessments that may need to be done, as well as check on the student’s level for reading...

...billion in annual revenue in 2005. As the world’s largest direct seller, the company marketed to women in 143 countries via five (5) million independent Avon Sales Representatives. Avon product lines included numerous popular brand names, and an extensive line of costume jewelry and clothing. Although revenues increased in 2003, 2004 and 2005, Avon’s net income was $848 million in 2005. The company met with stiff competition in the US market from other cosmetic companies. In order to maintain its market share in the US while targeting other countries, especially China, the company drastically changed its global operating structure. This brought senior management closer to its key business geographies, strengthened global integration, accelerated information flow and positioned the company for sustainable growth. Avon expected to incur costs to implement these initiatives over the next several years, with a significant portion of the total costs to be incurred during 2006. Benefits from restructuring helped to fund a notable increase in consumer investment and improved the competitiveness of its direct selling opportunity. Additionally, the company increased investment in advertising, marketing intelligence, consumer research and product innovation. The cosmetics mogul has grown from revenues of $8 billion in 2005 to nearly $11 billion in projected 2009 revenues while delivering strong single-digit earnings growth. The company projected achievement of annualized savings of approximately...

...Abstract Pursuing an online MBA program over an on site-program has numerous advantages. Adult learners can fit advanced education into their already hectic schedules, degrees can be obtained in half the time and class schedules are flexible. For these reasons, online education has been the fastest growing segment of higher education. But because it is so unlike traditional classroom-based instruction, many questions have been raised about the quality of the education offered in the online modality (Carrol & Burke, 2010, p. 65). After an extensive survey of the literature, the U.S Department of Education issued a report concluding that the online or hybrid modalities are more effective then face-to-face instructions (Carrol & Burke, 2010, p. 66). Many students rely on online programs to complete an MBA because of the increasing demands from the workplace and busier schedules. Today’s competitive job market has also increased the need for advanced degrees. These programs are fueled by the increased capabilities of technology that allow students to successfully learn and complete their degrees outside of the traditional classroom environment (Anonymous, 2010). Recognizing the advantages and disadvantages of pursing an MBA degree online, understanding how online degree programs work and finding the right program for you as an individual are important steps that each student needs to evaluate and complete before choosing which program they are going to enroll in.

...Assignment #4 - Customized Learning Theory B. Wright EDU 501 March 1, 2012 1. Describe your target audience with which you work or expect to work. Before I made the decision to switch careers from corporate America to education, I spent time as a substitute teacher in grades k through twelve. This was an invaluable experience that provided me with the insider’s advantage of the pros and cons of working in every classroom setting from accelerated to special needs, and small group learning to larger class sizes. I have found that I work well in every class room setting. As a substitute teacher, I was one of the most highly requested in my district. Even my superintendent recognized my work and accomplishments in maintaining classroom management and curriculum in the absence of the teacher and regardless of the length of time of the absence. After a year of “subbing”, I was able to identify that high school grade nine through twelve was the age group that I had the greatest success working with. As I mentioned, I was successful at all ages and grades, however, I was able to overcome challenges and barriers that many other high school teacher had difficulty or inability to overcome. Another indicator was listening to the way that teachers speak of their students. Naturally, elementary school teachers cannot cay enough positive things about their students. It is easier to be forgiving with younger children because you understand and expect them to need redirection and reinforcement...

Polewczynski 24 January 2016 LAS 20010 College Seminar I: Exploring Ottawa University Formal and Informal Educational Experiences To describe my education, I need to take you back to my early childhood years. The community of Dousman produced Olympic Athletes, must have been the outstanding educational system there. I had first attended school in Dousman at the Elementary school. Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect that designed many magnificent structures. He even designed the Jr High I attended. A very unique experience. High School was a turbulent ride as I attended three different schools. My father was living in another state so the main support for a young boy in school was not there. As a result, the learning environment was somewhat diminished and many questions went unanswered. Formal Educational Experiences Dousman Elementary School is located in Waukesha County twenty minutes from Milwaukee, in Wisconsin. The school was walking distance from my residence but as a child it felt like miles. I received an education that produced grades a bit higher than average. The curriculum was considered to be accelerated, which I found was difficult to keep pace with. The theory of learning faster was a pretty fresh idea at Dousman Elementary and I think the students were lagging behind, as I was, at least some of the time. My friends in elementary school were true friends but there were not...

Such facilities include intranets, extranets, e-learning, online training, and m-learning. This essay aims at comparing and contrasting the differences between traditional and technology based training methods. The main differences are flexibility, cost effectiveness, personal training, the trainees’ size, computer literacy and accessibility...
