...All throughout my life, I have pretty much known what career I wanted to spend the rest of my life pursuing. I have always had a strong passion for working with children. This is one of the things that I am known for. I have always had a connection with younger children, and I feel that they have had a strong connection with me. I believe the career that would help me further my love for working with children is Elementary Education. My hope is to be a Kindergarten teacher. I strongly believe that this will be a career that I will prosper in and hopefully make an impact in, and I also believe that this occupation will change me for the better. Thus far in my education, I have taken courses that I believe will be useful in the major I have...

...The average American student beginning their education in Kindergarten and ending with a high school diploma spends 1, 170 hours in school, this calculates to over 15 thousand hours over the span of their education. Considering this information, it is highly plausible that teachers are some of the most significant people in a person’s life, shaping how they see and relate to the world. Yet, many teachers do not receive the recognition one would expect from such a crucial system. Feelings of being overworked and underappreciated are common. In an October 11, 2008 Newsweek article, Heather Robinson makes a comparable argument. Though she began her career in youth services, she quickly found herself desiring to make a more significant impact in the life of young people; therefore she pursued a career as an educator. In the article titled “I Am Not A Babysitter”, Robinson chronicles her career as a teacher and elaborates on the passion, the sacrifice, and sometimes, the lack of respect that come with it. Through establishing a mild ethos based on her experience in education, and a strong pathos utilizing relatable stories, Robinson makes an effective argument calling for increased respect and understanding toward teachers. By selecting Newsweek as her platform Robinson has a potential audience of 13.2 million readers. In addition to this, it is one of the top selling weekly news magazines in the US. The large circulation of the magazine affords to Robinson a national voice along...

...more and more examples and successful people carry their stories tell us, that people who without education can still doing as good as people who is educated, or even better. According to these statements and evidences we will come up a series of argument. Such as do students who go directly from school to university less from and contribute less to their courses than those who take a job in order to get more experience in real world before they starting higher education? For me personally, I disagree with this argument. First of all, I think if you are being educated from kindergarten to university, the higher level of education, the more extensive range of knowledge you will access. And then, when you face a difficult problem or deal a harsh situation, you can come up with more method to solve it, because you read more, so you know more. Meanwhile, when you solve the problem or consider something, you will be more thoughtful, more comprehensive, and more rational. Those work skills are all resulted from the time when you were in school. You learned and you mastered the knowledge unconsciously. While you are educated in school, you can grasp and learn more theory. The second point is, knowledge you has learned from school, can help you build a strong foundation for your career. With this strong basis, what kind of things you can’t do? What kind of dream you can’t reach? Since than, you could set a long term goal for yourself, that’s won’t be so far away to become a real...

...Personal Statement Dear Sir or Madam, I wish to apply for admission to the post-graduate programme in Education of Nottingham Trent University for your September 2015 intake in order to enhance my career prospects. #Academic background It is not easy for the young generation in my country to be able to determine their future career, especially those who have just finished high school, when they do not have deep understanding of the reality and their passion, and that was also my case. When I prepared for the entrance examination to university, I chose to major in Finance and Banking at the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City, one of the leading universities in my country. I did not know well what I desire was. However, during my four years at university, where I had to meet high requirements of English to read materials in English, gradually I found my special passion for the language, which I used to consider as an important subject at school. At the same time, taking part in social activities such as teaching children with foreign teachers at kindergartens and primary schools makes me realize how much I want to help the Vietnamese young generation learn English. My efforts in extra-curriculum events did make me find my desire of being an educator instead of being a banking expert. I am strongly convinced that a career of such great significance can spare me no efforts to study and use my ability to partly assist young people in my country overcome difficulties in...

...| Common Core Standards in Public Schools | Maria Camargo Dr. James Decker English Composition II 02/21/2014 Maria Camargo Dr. James Decker English Composition II 02/21/2014 | | | | | | It is well known that that the United States falls behind other industrialized countries when it comes to testing in science, math, and reading. A publication from Harvard University’s Program on Education Policy and Governance exposes that schoolchildren in Chile, Brazil, and Latvia are making advances in academics three times faster than American students. In an effort to better this situation, The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) coordinated the process to develop the Common Core State Standards. In 2009 these entities formed work groups and presented an outline of higher education and occupation ready standards for public remarks from teachers, professors, community, administrators, and parent organizations. Since its initial stages in 2009, the Common Core Standards have raised many debates across the United States. Most of the debates seem to circle around whether the Common Core Standard Tests are beneficial to our educational system, particularly, to teachers and students; just another way for the federal government to monitor and access personal information. Whatever the reasons behind the enactment of “The Common Core Standards”, as of today forty-five states have adopted these standards...

...Developmentally Appropriate Practices in Early Childhood Classrooms Effects of Michigan Common Core State Standards on Developmentally Appropriate Practices in Early Childhood Classrooms Introduction As an early childhood teacher in 2013, I am constantly feeling challenged and overwhelmed by mandated curriculum from the State of Michigan. With the recent implementation of Michigan Common Core State Standards, I began to feel the pressure of teaching curriculum that the children do not seem to understand. I began to wonder why? Is it because I failed to deliver the lesson? Is it due to concepts being too difficult? Are the standards appropriate for all learners and where they are in their development? During my career spanning over twenty years, I have believed and am dedicated to providing a classroom environment that is developmentally appropriate for my early learners. I believe the problem is that Michigan's Common Core State Standards are causing early childhood teachers to teach in ways that are not developmentally appropriate. These beliefs brought me to this topic and caused me to ponder if others feel the way I do. Are the Common Core State Standards mandated by the state of Michigan are creating early childhood classrooms that are not developmentally appropriate as perceived by myself and my colleagues. I believe that early childhood classrooms should be free of mandates from the state when those mandates force teachers to feel pressured...

...CORRELATES TO CAREER PREFERENCE OF GRADUATING STUDENTS OF THE CLSU SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL submitted by: CHERYL ANN P. GALVEZ to: Dr. Arneil G. Gabriel In partial fulfillment of the requirements in Research Methodology for Public Administration PA 213 SY 2014-2015 2nd sem CORRELATES TO CAREER PREFERENCE OF GRADUATING STUDENTS OF THE CLSU SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL INTRODUCTION Education is often regarded as passport to social mobility. This simply means that education can pave the way to an individual’s better and promising future. This is the very reason why the Philippine Constitution provides for at least free formal basic education, more particularly in public schools Formal basic education under the new educational system in the country is now popularly known as K-12, which begins with the kindergarten and proceeds to 12 years in the elementary and secondary level. Unlike the old educational system which emphasized the value of a college degree before employment, the new program which begun to be implemented in 2014, hopes to equip every learner who graduates after senior high school (Grade 12) with the opportunity for improved employment and entrepreneurship while ensuring that the high school graduate has the needed competencies to pursue a college degree either immediately or at some later stage (Luistro, 2012). Students who will be finishing their high school education under the new educational program may therefore be better enlightened as to what...

...Education in the Philippines is managed and regulated by theDepartment of Education or DepEd as it is commonly referred to in the country. The department controls the Philippine education system, especially the curriculum used in schools, and usage of funds used for further improvements, which includes the continual building of schools and its facilities, and the recruitment of teachers and other staff, among others. Prior to the mid-20th century, the country's education system was patterned on those of its earlier colonial powers, those of bothSpain and the United States. However, after the Philippine independence in 1946, its educational system changed radically. The former basic educational system of the Philippines was composed of 6 years of elementary education starting at the age of 6,[3] and 4 years of high school education starting at the age of 12.[4] Afterwards, one can continue his or her education by enrolling in technical or vocational schools, or in higher education institutions like universities. Although the 1987 Constitution states that elementary education is compulsory, it was never put into force. Since 2011, the country started its transition from its old 10-year basic educational system to the K-12 educational system, as mandated by DepEd.[5] This time, the new 12-year system is now compulsory, along with the adoption of new curricula for all schools (see 2010s and the K-12 program). The transition shall last until the S.Y. 2017-2018, where the first graduates...

...BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT When President Obama took office in the White House, the country was in financial turmoil. The housing market was unstable, Wall Street was crumbling beneath our feet, the automobile industry was near collapse and although I hate to mention it, the massive amount of job lost was a major issue as well. The progress that the county has made from the previous year are that of a stabilized housing market by allowing lenders to work with homeowners to keep them in their homes and the government extended financial assistance to banks, financial institutions and the automotive industry. President Obama has also, created the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that invested in the infrastructure of the country. The ARRA provided tax cuts to small businesses, invested in health care, education and infrastructure. The issues that the country faces as we move forward include the revamping of the education, the rising cost of the health care system and figuring out how to support and protect democracy around the world while trying to reduce the overall budget. The national debt is major concern for the President moving forward. The educational system is not preparing our students for future jobs and we rank lower than our counterparts with similar resources. The health care system prices are continuing to rise, therefore millions of Americans will not be able to afford healthcare. The President must chose how to cut the military spending but...

...Community service should be required in order to graduate high school. Community service helps an application look professional when an employer sees the work experience that a student has. To begin, Donna St. George, journalist for The Washington Post states “Many people were more likely to work in professional and business management due to volunteering as an adolescent.” This is important because it shows the impact that community service has on the type of work an individual continues with, which helps with getting and keeping a job. Also, the article “Even When It’s Mandatory, Volunteering Is Good For Kids” states, volunteering is good for many students because it gives them work experience, and it is good for their future careers, and community service helps inspire them to find an interest he or she likes. To end, Alina Tugend a journalist for The New York Times states, “Students who volunteered were more likely to contribute the community and to vote when they came of age”. This is important because it is showing the relationship between those who volunteered and those who didn’t. Those who volunteered were much more likely to engage with the community and continue to help. Therefore, community service is good for students because it helps with finding a place of work and feeling good about it. Secondly, community service allows students to use skills they learn in the classroom beyond the classroom, such as responsibility, organization, or problem-solving. Kelly Vaughn...

...CLASSIFICATION TALK Background When a lawyer named Paul Harris, a coal dealer, a mining engineer and a merchant tailor first met in 1905 in Chicago, they gave birth to Rotary and by the nature of their diverse occupations, to the association’s most distinctive feature – the classification principle. Today, the classification principle, though modified, remains a cornerstone of Rotary. Upon joining Rotary, you are lent a classification by the Board of Directors to reflect your occupation or primary source of income. By limiting active membership by classifications, each club becomes a cross-section of the business and professional life of the community it serves. Also, the classification principle makes sure that no one profession or business becomes the dominant force within the club. Another benefit of the classification system is that representatives of many fields are brought together, providing the opportunity for Rotarians to broaden their knowledge of the contemporary workplace. This, in turn, enables Rotarians to fulfill one of the basic obligations of vocational service – recognizing the worthiness to society of all useful occupations. Personal Data: Name: Luis Angelo D.

...Describe any personal or economic hardships or barriers you have had to overcome and explain how they affected your education. Be specific about when you encountered these hardships and how long they lasted. From kindergarten to graduation I attended a private school operated by devout Latter Day Saints. While they did their best to teach from a neutral standpoint, there were subjects that were in direct conflict with their religious views. Science education was extremely limited due to limited resources and conflict with personal ideology. Subjects such as biology and history were covered, but without any depth. Consequently, my math education was a casualty. Early on I heard phrases such as, “It’s okay so long as you understand the concept, you’re artistic.” I took these statements to heart. I loved the arts, and outside of school, it was what I pursued. As math became more difficult, my tenuous grasp on the basics failed me. Rather than pushing me to learn, my teachers merely reassured me that as an artistic person, I would not need to know advanced math. By high school I not only feared math, but believed that I wasn’t smart enough to understand it. This made choosing a major a difficult task. I would consider a field, look up the requirements, and if there were math courses I would automatically reject it as a possibility. A year after graduation I finally chose to enroll in Edmonds Community College’s Hospitality and Tourism program. It was through this program that I...
