...Lesson Plans Creating a lesson plan for a group of Kindergarten students can be very difficult. The activities you choose need to be fun, educational, and engaging as most 5 year olds tend to lose focus easily. Most children love music and dancing, so for this lesson plan I have chosen a dance titled Father Abraham. As you may have noticed I will be developing this lesson for a class of kindergarten student’s. At this stage of development children should be able to make conscious decisions regarding music, art, dance and theater, and respond to them with some form of emotion. They should also be able to notice different sounds, pictures, and movements, as well as notice their similarities. They may even be able to create their own music and dance moves. Lastly they should have fairly good body control, and can work independently (NAEYC, 2004). This class has a total of 10 students and here is a look at the lesson plan: Grade Level: Kindergarten Class Size: 10 Students Student Learning Objective: As result of this lesson, students will . . . • Distinguish left and right • Follow commands on which arm, leg or head to move • March in place • Stay within their personal space State Standard: The North Carolina State Standards we will cover in this activity are, apply competent motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities, understand concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics that apply to the learning and performance...

...[pic] Reasons for Becoming a Teacher How has education evolved in my lifetime? I think the biggest change in education since I was in school has got to be technology. Back when I was in school we didn’t have things like high tech calculators and computers and Interactive Smart Boards. We did all our work by hand using pencils, pens and paper. When I was in elementary school the basic core skills of reading, writing, and math were taught by hand, we had to do all our reading in books, we didn’t have the Smart Boards like they do today where teachers can load a book on the screen and each student can read together or individually to the other students. Anything that had to do with writing was done by hand on paper unlike today where students can use computers to write their essays. Math was all done by hand on paper long division was a process that was broken down step by step, not using calculators or computers to find the answers. We did our multiplication tables by hand until we had them memorized. Things were simpler back to a point and to a point they are easier now, everything that we had to research for essays in high school was done at the library. We had to learn to use the Dewey Decimal System to find the books we needed. Today most all research is done on the computer, I find that this aspect of research is much easier for students including myself, being a student again. I don’t think that if things were like they...

...Personal Philosophy of Education I would not be considered your typical college student in search of an education degree. I am a 31 year old male, married, with two children, and working on my second career. My previous life consisted of working in the coal mines till I was injured. My injury, however, is considered a blessing in disguise. My injury has leaded me to the world of education. I have seen first hand the difference an educator can make in the life of a child; the child was my own son. My eldest son, diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, was unable to communicate. He had the opportunity to be enrolled in the early intervention program in Raleigh County. The first individual with the challenge of assisting my child was not able to fulfill her roles and think “outside of the box” to reach him. My wife and I promptly searched for the appropriate educator for him. My family was blessed when we found “Ms. Mitzi”. In the matter of weeks our son was able to tell his mommy he loved her. This impacted my life significantly and I wish to be able to pass on what was given to my child and my family. I chose education as my career path because I hope to be able to make a small difference in a child’s life. Time and time again I have seen children being educated poorly and/or not having appropriate role models in their life. I feel that an educator must not only be able to convey to the student the classroom material, but also be a counselor, coach, mentor, and a parent. Failing...

...OPM briefing notes 2010 - 05 Lessons Learned: Developing the Health Promotion Strategy and Action Plan in Georgia In 2009 Oxford Policy Management (OPM) completed technical work to support the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs, Georgia, in producing a comprehensive national Health Promotion Strategy (HPS) along with a prioritised Health Promotion Action Plan (HPAP). This work was commissioned as part of the European Union support to the Ministry, aimed at facilitating evolution of key evidence-based policies, and enabling the people of Georgia to increase control over their health and its determinants. This briefing note develops the case for giving support to the Georgian government in elaborating the HPS. It argues that transparent and participatory processes must be established to assure strong national ownership and consensus over the outputs. The process must also guarantee the skills transfer and capacity building of national stakeholders; and be flexible and highly responsive to the government needs while producing strategies effective, feasible and applicable to the local context. Georgian public health Over recent years Georgian efforts to adopt and nurture a democratic market oriented economy have been impressive (Chanturidze et al. 2009). On the down side however, the Georgian health sector still demonstrates system imbalances between curative services and O x f o r d • prevention, and between clinical ...

...like history, English, and arithmetic, the quantity of employed educators will significantly decline. Regular courses in a Lappen 4 university must be taught repeatedly for each semester's batch of students. In these traditional university classes, professors can lecture to a very limited number of students in each class. A MOOC must only be recorded once and can last on the internet indefinitely. If the subject of the MOOC does not require revision, that single video can educate millions of students. If MOOCs do become a main source of education, what will happen to the educational professors with tenure? Not all professors excel at conducting research. Since fewer educating professors will be needed, will the surplus professors with tenure be retained after their job ceases to exist? Schools have two plausible options. They can either continue these courses until the teachers resign or schools can prepare, in advance, for a future education system based on MOOCs. Once MOOCs begin to replace traditional teaching, schools may cease to give out tenure in anticipation of this...

...striving to adapt their instruction to accommodate the needs of students in terms of learning styles and ability. It has been suggested in the literature that virtual reality (VR) has the potential to assist educators in accommodating individual differences in terms of learning style, ability, and engagement (Muscott & Gifford, 1994; Chen, Toh, & Ismail, 2005; Neel, 2006; and Tiala, 2007). Virtual reality can be defined as a text and graphics-based environment that is created by a computer. Today’s students are proficient in using technology; ninety percent of children in the U.S. between the ages of 5 and 17 use computers on a regular basis (DeBell & Chapman, 2003). It stands to reason that integrating virtual reality technology into lessons would improve student motivation and engagement. Levels of Virtual Reality The educational community in general has been slow to embrace virtual reality as an assistive technology. This is most likely to due to its cost and its complexity. Many school districts are already overburdened financially and have difficulty providing students with what have always been considered the basic necessities: teachers, books, and equipment. Providing basic computer equipment and Internet access to students is an arduous financial task all on its own. Many veteran teachers do not possess the same level of technological expertise as their...
