Decentralization and an emphasis on personal growth and community are two such trends. Along with new trends, are needed attributes to obtain success in the 21st century such as the ability to think critically and set goals for the future. To prepare the younger Iranian generation for success in the newly formed democratic nation, these trends and attributes must be addressed in the classroom through meaningful learning experiences.

...“Shifting Paradigms: From Newton to Chaos”, Toby Tetenbaum argues that Chaos theory, a term used to describe nonlinear complex systems and organizations, can be used to study change in organizations. Unlike Newtonian scientists who believed that “…relationships between cause and effect are simple, clear and linear.” , Tetenbaum argues that due to the information era organizations are more complex with employees working anytime from dispersed locations. The increasing speed of communications and the demand for knowledge sharing has also contributed to more of a self managed model. Consequently, Tetenbaum says that the 21st century manager’s role must consist of 5 critical skills. He/she must be able to: 1) Manage the Transition, 2) Build Resilience, 3) Destabilize the System, 4) Manage Order and Disorder, the Present and the Future, and 5) Create and maintain a Learning Organization. In the first role, “Managing the Transition”, Tetenbaum explains that organizations are moving from the industrial to the information era. Both employees and managers have to change their attitudes towards how work is done and how problems are solved. In the industrial era workers take orders from upper management and follow instructions to ensure the expected results. Their knowledge and practices are based on proven skills and experiences previously tested. Transitioning to an information era would mean letting go of what is familiar and moving away from what workers and managers know as stable...

...it may serve as an important tool for schools and teachers to create reforms in means of teaching. More and more often there are schools in which technology is used as an instructional tool. The use of technology can help improve and enhance the acquisition of knowledge and skills of students. Also learning technology is essential for students to gain the competency to function well in a 21st century society or the hi-tech society and workforce. We are an evolving technological society and in many ways have become dependent on its use. Thus, the use of technology and teaching students have to use it has become a high priority in many schools. There are studies conducted that talks about the benefits of integrating technology in learning English language. These include the study of Gulek and Demirtas (2005) that focused on Learning with technology: the impact of laptop use on student achievement; Lowther, Strahl, Inan and Bates (2007) that concentrated on Freedom to Learn Program Michigan; Christen (2009) that studied about transforming the classroom for collaborative learning in the 21st century techniques: Connecting Education and Careers.

Technology has changed almost every part of our society, including our educational methods. Traditionally, schools tell their stakeholders what needs exist for students in their school. Authors like Fuller (1996) and Siemans (2004) have shown that educators, as a group, have a gap in their perception of computer usage. This gap suggests that teachers may not be using computers competently in their lesson plans. Early implementation of computers in classrooms was an additional activity rather than integrating them into the core curriculum. Other resistance to technology integration comes from the idea that the school day is already too busy and teachers cannot add anything new (Jenkins, Clinton, Purushotma, Robinson, & Weigel, 2006). Outside the classroom, students are on the forefront of technology usage. Today’s students are considered...

Leadership in Literacy Education Reform: A Constructivist Learning and Culturally Responsive Perspective (Doctoral Dissertation). Retrieved December 10, 2009, from Dissertations & Theses @ University of Phoenix. (UMI No.:3136143) This dissertation study is a comparison between constructivist learn and culturally responsive teaching (CLCRT) and traditional instructive approaches and how they comply with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The CLCRT is a model on how to improve reading literacy for the disadvantaged and minority students while initiating school reform required by the NCLB. The CLCRT model examines pedagogy very carefully and informs school leadership about the effects of the pedagogy theory on students’. A PDS model (Professional Development School) was developed to help school leadership with the education reform strategies. We look at the PDS model and see that when teachers, school leadership and parents work together students’ grades improve. This study shows the importance of school leadership and teachers working together to implement new programs like the CLCRT education reform model. Horwitz, F.M., Bravington, D., & Silvis, U.

...Why is it important for each student to have a laptop? Just as it is not feasible to have students stand in line to share learning tools such as a pencil, paper, notebook, book, etc, it also doesn’t make sense for them to share a laptops. Students often need to work at their own pace in their own way. Laptops become a student’s assistant for thinking, drawing, writing, reading, analyzing, calculating, connecting, collaborating, producing, researching, presenting, and more. This does not occur if they are given only isolated pockets of time or have to wait until someone else is done. Their laptops provide anytime/anywhere on-demand access to information, thinking, learning, experts, collaboration, creativity and knowledge and more. As one student put it clearly, "When I can't use my laptop, I feel like a part of my brain is missing." Today's collaboration does not occur with two students sitting at one laptop. It occurs with students using their own learning stations collaborating and connecting with like-minded people, inputing, discussing, interacting, simultaneously not one at a time. Furthermore, those people they are interacting with are not just the student next to them, but could be a student, adult, or expert any where in the world. To be truly effective laptops must be woven into everything that is done in the classroom. Jean Piaget protégé and artificial intelligence pioneer Seymour Papert explains it this way, "People around the world have opted to use the...

It is really important that employers and all the administrators of the company are aware of how crucial to the organization’s well being it is to understand and work against age discrimination. Once the leadership is trained and engaged in all matters to prevent age discrimination, the company will avoid many conflicts and possible lawsuits that might have happened without it. Here are some ways that employers can implement on their companies so that age discrimination is prevented: Promotions and raises policy. Companies administrators should develop a policy that rewards for performance, therefore creating an equal environment and fair positions competition. This policy would prioritize the more capable employee and provide training and educational opportunities for both young and older workers. (George N. Root III, 2014) Date of Birth. Removing the employee date of birth from paperwork that does not require it is a way to avoid age discrimination. For example, when doing a job opening post it is not necessary to mention age requirements. (George N. Root III, 2014) Be aware of the laws involving age discrimination. It is extremely important...
