一、活动概况 活动背景
一.什么是支教?
支教是指一项支援落后地区乡镇中小学校的教育和教学管理工作。
二.支教人员来源是什么?
支教人员(大学生)的来源一般有三:
全国大学生志愿服务西部计划是由共青团中央、教育部、财政部、人事部共同组织实施,从2003年开始,按照公开招募、自愿报名、组织选拔、集中派遣的方式,每年招募一定数量的普通高等学校(以下简称“高校”)应届毕业生,到西部贫困县的乡镇从事为期 1-2 年的教育、卫生、农技、扶贫以及青年中心建设和管理等方面的志愿服务工作。志愿者服务期满后,鼓励其扎根基层,或者自主择业和流动就业。
在校大学生在寒暑假社会实践之时选择去乡村进行支教。
在职人员选择参加团中央的“扶贫接力计划”,一般服务半年至两年。
三.支教利弊谈?
对于支教者个体的利弊: 利:自身得到锻炼,能力、毅力、阅历等方面可以得到极大的提升,基层的艰苦生活可以让自己迅速成熟起来;同时,国家每年公务员考试会拿出一定比例的岗位定向招录这种参加支教计划的人员。 弊:偏远地区生活条件非常艰苦,甚至会有拖欠工资的情况,要有一定的心理准备,如果你习惯了优越的生活条件,那在边远地区支教的生活会让你感觉枯燥、单调、疲累甚至与世隔绝的孤寂,不仅有安全问题,有时候连饮食起居都成问题。 对被支教者影响: 利:扩大见世面、获得更新奇的知识、激发学习兴趣 弊:造成眼高手低的现象 对管理者的影响: 利:减轻教学负担、引入新的教学理念 弊:影响正常教学等
四:什么是“顶岗支教”?
顶岗支教,顾名思义,顶替在职教师的岗位完成支教。就是由即将毕业的大学生到有顶岗支教名额的学校去顶岗。这期间,你要完完全全担当起这个教师的职务,相当于这个职位现在就是你的。像是楼上说的,出发点是达到双赢的目的,也就是既让学生锻炼自身技能,也能够让被顶岗的教师继续深造。但是也存在弊端。 实践课题
选取一个中西部县级的地区,对当地大学生支教效益评估:
对不同类别的支教大学生深入交谈。
对典型的学生个体进行追踪调查,判断不同类型的支教对其的影响。
对不同阶层不同类型的管理者进行访谈,获取其教学需求以及对支教行为的反馈。
备注:在第一项内我们会辟出相当一部分精力调研顶岗支教现象。顶岗支教是一个很有中国特色的“创新”,我们将对“顶岗支教”活动开展几十年年以来的成果进行调研。

方案特点
在强调大样本的统计分析中,强调对每一个个体全方面的跟踪调查。

活动前期理论调查
1.同济大学学生调研结果:
调研结果发现,目前大学生短期支教现状果然不容乐观:近73%的大学生把支教当作一堂必修课来看待,但就是很难联系到愿意接受的学校;近62%的校长坦言先前支教的大学生给学校带来了些不良影响,致使他们不再信任大学生支教,不得不找借口来推脱;78%的受教学生为大学生哥哥姐姐“来也匆匆,去也匆匆”感到遗憾和苦恼。 就支教大学生团队而言,在支教前期,团队准备往往不足半月;团队的支教地点变更快,有80%的团队每年更换支教地点;有55%的支教团队每次支教超过15人,造成学生少、大学生志愿者多的情况;支教的具体内容是临时决定的,有80%的团队采用的是边教边备课形式;支教大学生团队主要以在校的本科生为主体,90%的支教大学生团队以大一、大二的学生为主,社会实践经验尚浅。 就支教大学生志愿者而言,近80%支教大学生在支教前没时间准备支教内容,其中大多数由于寒暑假支教前期准备与准备期末考试相冲突造成,缺乏准备给支教大学生造成了心理压力,使他们无法适应从一个学生到老师的角色转换,站在三尺讲台难以开口、不知道教什么、控制不了课堂纪律等等;支教大学生近90%只参与一次支教,并且支教后再不过问;86%的支教大学生不明确支教的内容;65%的支教大学生对当地环境不适应、与当地受教学生和其家长沟通不畅等,在偏远山区及高原地表现尤为突出。
2.北京社会科学院研究员 韩嘉玲调研: 由于大学生对于志愿者角色与认识的误区,因此形成了“志愿者中心”的支教现象。 此外,绝大多数支教活动只是短暂、一次性的行动。因此就形成了“志愿者多、流动性强、课程没有连续性”的支教普遍现象。 支教活动以志愿者为中心还表现为志愿者上课迟到、临阵换人等不负责的现象。多半原因都是临时有事来不了。 课堂教学需要专业知识、技能及经验。大学生志愿者往往认为“面对的只是一群上小学的孩子”,因此多数志愿者没有做好充分准备,就踏进课堂。进课堂后,缺乏教学经验的大学生志愿者才发现很难把握课堂,不仅上课效果欠佳,甚至造成课堂纪律混乱,影响到隔壁课堂的教学以及下节课的氛围。 此外,由于对学校课程缺乏长期及整体性的掌握,志愿者的教学内容不仅无法联系学校的教材内容,支教队伍间的内容也没有连贯与一致性。这使得支教活动不仅无法补充学校的教学活动,反而干扰了学校正常的教学活动,甚至给学校及教师增添了负担。

活动流程
选择实践活动地点
要求:地处中西部,社会发展层次能代表中西部广泛水平; 教育资源欠发达; 现在任然在进行“顶岗支教”活动; 对支教活动有很大的感触; 定期或者不定期有大学生假期实践团体进入当地乡村中小学支教
活动的具体实施方案:
A.按照以人为本的原则,根据我们将访谈或者调研的群体分类:
对不同类别的支教大学生深入交谈。
暂定类别:按照支教时间和持续性分:初次支教和多次支教; 按照组织者来分:官方支教或民间组织支教或者顶岗支教; 调研方向:1.身体情况;2.家庭状况以及选择支教的原因;3.所教科目以及大致教学思路4.支教过程中遇到的麻烦等5.其它各方对该个体的评价。 二.对典型的学生个体进行追踪调查 暂定类别:按照年纪分:低年级和高年级 按照家庭情况分:父母文化素质较高或较低 调研方向:1.身体情况;2.家庭状况;3.兴趣爱好;4.被支教老师教学的科目;5.对支教老师的反应;6.有什么意见。 三.对不同阶层不同类型的管理者进行访谈。 暂定类别:按照管理层次分:统观全县的教育官员;地区官员;学校高级领导;学校中低层领导。 调研方向:1.个人经历;2.对当地当处学习整体情况的看法

备注:1.对某方调研时,对与有关该个体的所有个体进行全面访谈,力求对典型个体建立起立体的评价,从而构建完整的关系网络。
顶岗支教是一个官方行为,以支教行为为学生以后深造的跳板,可以说符合了整个社会的“潮流”;然而这必然带来很多问题;所以对这部分大学生我们格外注重。
对于各个类别应该先从统计上收集资料。
保证调研活动时的亲切性,在对特殊个体建档,多用谈话方式,避免使用问卷调查等形式。
注重一切资料的保密性。 B.资料征集以及汇总
从统计的观点讨论三方迫切的需求,以及其他各方存在的不足。
根据上述需求,在已有支教评估标准下建立看似更加合理的评价体系。
对典型个体建档,在不影响其正常发展情况下,以备后用。
联系相关部门组织,推动支教行为合理化; 推动符合需求的支教教材标准化; 真正挖掘出支教行为有意义之处。
活动按照时间演进的可能方向
人的发展趋势依靠短期的交流是无法得知的,所以我们打算将上述活动不断进行下去。

如果可行我们将选择一组原始情况相同的孩子(或者学校),逐年都做上节步骤,按照时间的推进我们可能得到一些有所区别的样本,在排除外界其它干预之后,运用假说演绎的办法,验证初始的“不同支教条件”对其后孩子即当地教学环境的影响。

五、预期效果

1.提高个人组织和团队配合的能力,增强集体荣誉感和吃苦精神。
2.建立一个支教效果评估的模型。
3.支教行为的指向性(学生群体)、目的性(传播什么样的知识和技能)和覆盖性(地域分布)。4.推动支教活动标准化的产生。

The summer reading essay does not represent who I am as a writer and I am mortified to have written such a catastrophe. But, one thing it does show is that I cannot rush or procrastinate because when under a time crunch my work seems to implode. I admit even when given plenty of time, my writing pieces are not perfect.

I could swim for hours upon hours and never get tired of the feeling of being submerged. At the local pool near my home, I could be found nearly everyday in the summer swimming with friends or siblings or just plain by myself. I would jump off the diving board, slide down the large slide and swim laps in the lap lane. One thing I never could understand is what there were so many rules. There were rules like no running, only one person on the diving board and slide and no diving in certain parts never made sense to me before. There were guards...

Case managers take into account the person as a whole and focus not just on one problem, but also all the other variables (Summers, 2011). The case manager ensures the client receives the most individualized and effective treatments and plan for service possible. The many roles and responsibilities are carried professionally and ethically. The case manager also can use theoretical models to identify problem and cause of the client's behavior. Many times, case managers work with specific special populations and encounter issues that must be prepared to address. Roles and Responsibilities Case management primary purpose is to improve the quality of life the client by assessing their total situation (Summers, 2011). It is imperative that the case manager knows what their client wants not only for service but to have a productive and useful life. Case managers develop a comprehensive picture of each client and identify the specific intervention the client may need. Case management entails being respectful to the client, their family, and the diversity of the human experience.

Improving Summer School for at-Risk Students T

...Improving Summer School for At-Risk Students to Improve MAP Achievement H Abstract “Race to the Top” have left public education systems searching for ways to make sure students are reaching their highest potential. Because of the importance of accountability issues to school systems, it is important to examine ways to help students reach their potential. One tool school districts use to aid in improving student achievement is summer school. This qualitative study provides an overview of the history of summer school. Additionally, it offers a synopsis of various types of summer programs and at-risk student populations often targeted by summer school. The researcher also offers a review of literature on student learning loss over the summer months. Summer learning programs have the potential to help children and youth improve their academic and other outcomes. This is especially true for children from low-income families who might not have access to educational resources throughout the summer months and for low-achieving students who need additional time to master academic content. Because many students loose learning over the summer and some students need more time on task to master content, participation in summer learning programs should mitigate learning loss and could even produce achievement gains on standardized test such as MAP.

Essay On Rising Up From Failure

...Rising up from failures and avoiding it III. How can one rise up from those failures? How can one avoid it? Failing in college could be frustrating and sometimes we lose our self - confidence by telling ourselves that we are not intelligent and we are often discouraged. According to Matthew Bass, “Failure is simply a stepping-stone on your way to success” (Matthew Bass). Failing is never a hindrance for our success. It may let us down and make us hopeless at first, but if we try again and come up with a plan, everything will work out in the end and obtain success. Students need to know that successful people experienced failure and kept on redoing and continuing until they obtain success (John Merrow). Failing isn’t a time to give up. Instead, it should be time where we should be improving our educational habits and allocating more time to study. How you deal with failure will determine not only your future success, but how easy it will be to achieve (Matthew Bass). How you responding and making an action on your failures would be the first steps on rising up from failure and avoiding it.
