...Curriculum Goals and Development Army Linguist Screening Course Christian R. Chenard Strayer University Chesapeake, Va 6 August 2010 Dr Edwin Martinez del Rio 1 Curriculum Goals and Development Abstract The curriculum goal of this paper is to present the course designed to develop screenerinterviewers for the Army's Military Intelligence personnel tasked with interviewing civilian contractors interested in applying for positions of trust with the US Government. This powerpoint slide presentation is the product this author put together for the United States Army. It takes us through the major steps necessary to show how two things happen. First are the roles played by the main participants in this effort, i.e., the Army and several contractors bringing together civilians who wish to hire on as linguists to the military to work shoulder to shoulder with the forces deployed in the Middle East combat zones. These candidates would be native speakers of arabic, farsi, pashto, urdu and other languages needed in the area. Second, the new screeners are also in training to become experienced at interviewing these linguist candidates. The new screeners are mostly not used to interviewing anyone, so interrogators who are already skilled counter intelligence interviewers are selected to train the other military intelligence soldiers as to methods of obtaining personal information from the candidates who come to the interview with already filled out documentation...

...Digital Citizenship in K-12: It Takes a Village Randy Hollandsworth, Lena Dowdy, and Judy Donovan Students will require awareness that online behaviors can impact people within their immediate circle of friends but also outside of that circle. Abstract Digital citizenship encompasses a wide range of behaviors with varying degrees of risk and possible negative consequences. Lack of digital citizenship awareness and education can, and has, led to problematic, even dangerous student conduct. If our educational village does not address these issues, the digital culture establishes its own direction, potentially pushing a productive, long-term solution further out of reach. By tapping into the experience of various practitioners and experts in the field this article provides the reader with a number of suggestions that can help the professional to help their students become better digital citizens. Keywords: Digital Citizenship, School Library Media A ccording to Wikipedia (2010), the Nigerian Igbo proverb, “Ora na azu nwa”, translates as “it takes a village to raise a child” (Proverb Question section, para. 6). Whether this popular phrase derives from international cultures or from one’s own experiences in life, it provides a framework for our schools and society to meet a cultural shift in a global society. Creating awareness and enhancing digital citizenship in our society could best be assessed as having reached a pivotal point. Weigel, James...

...students per teacher. Bookworms Curriculum Bookworms have three components, each requiring 45 minutes. Shared reading includes word study, choral and partner reading of a new segment of a trade book for a specific purpose and with comprehension strategy modeling from the teacher, a text-based discussion, updating of a class anchor chart, and assignment of a text-based written response. Interactive read aloud and process writing blocks each take half the days in a second 45-minute block. In addition, the interactive read aloud employs a trade book, read aloud by the teacher with extensive modeling, questioning, discussion, and vocabulary instruction. It ends with teacher-led grammar instruction in the form of sentence composing. A written response is assigned. For half of the school year, this time is used for process writing in whatever form the school chooses. The differentiation block is the final 45-minute segment. For students receiving tier 3 interventions, they get them during this block. For most students, there is a rotation of 3 15-minute segments: work with the teachers on skills revealed by the IDI and Fluency assessment, work on written responses, and then free reading when responses are finished. Need for Curriculum In my school, there are three needs for our elementary ELA curriculum, teacher prep, improvement of curriculum, and feedback considerations. Teacher Prep The first need is how teachers are prepared to teach this curriculum. All teachers new to the...

...Educational Philosophy: A Reflective Comparison Introduction Throughout my five interviews, I noticed an important theme, the students. Every one of my interviewees, regardless of years of experience, has made strides to create and maintain positive relationships with his/her students. Not only do these relationships create trust and honesty in the classroom but they increase class participation and foster independence and creativity. It should be the goal of any educator to create an environment centered on the students and their success, in and out of the classroom. Not only does my educational philosophy encompass these views but so do the philosophies of my five interviewees. Interviews and Reflection I feel privileged and honored to have had the chance to contact a few teachers that have impacted me in a very positive way. Throughout my interviews I was able to speak with an Intervention Specialist who has been teaching moderate to severe developmental disabilities for four years. Her enthusiasm and positive energy carries over into her classroom and makes being in her room an enjoyable experience. My second interview was with a family member of mine who has been teaching high school math for six years. After reading his responses, I feel proud to know him. Not only is he uplifting and positive but he is honest and caring. The students are his first priority. My third and fourth interviews were conducted with two history teachers from my high school. One, I did not have...

...AQA AS Sociology SCLY2: Education with Sociological Research Methods Student Guide Introduction According to sociologist Michael Rutter we spend 15000 hours in the education system. Consequently the schooling process has a large role in forming our personalities. For some, education also manages to act as a way of socialising people into the norms and values that are seen to be important for a particular society. For others it can be seen as a source of conflict particularly when issues surrounding gender, class and ethnicity are put under the sociologists, ‘microscope’. It also provides an excellent indicator of how political ideology affects social policy, with the changing of governments impacting on educational policy. Some questions sociologists are interested in about education are: * Why do some pupils achieve more than others? * What is the relationship between education and the economy? * What is the purpose of education? * Do pupil’s school experiences vary? Assessment The course will be assessed by examination only. The examination will consist of various short answer question and essay style questions. Date of Exam: June 2010 Duration: 2 hr The Unit 2 exam is worth 60% of your final AS level grade. There will be 90 marks available on the paper. You will answer one question on the chosen topic, one question on sociological research methods in context and one question on research methods. Assessment Objectives ...

Early years provision is supporting young children. Learning through play is the key element and is used more in early years than a formal education. This is because play shows to be more helpful in a child’s early development. 1b) Explain the characteristics of the different types of school in relation to educational stages and governance. There are 4 types of mainstream state school community, foundation and trust, voluntary and specialist. These 4 types follow the national curriculum. Other types include Independent/Free schools and academies; these don’t have to follow the curriculum and are governed in different ways. Community schools Run and owned by local authorities and not by their governing body. The local authority will usually determine the admissions policy and support the school in looking at ways to develop links within the local community.

Foundation and trust schools Foundation schools are run by their own governing body, that decide on admissions policy following consultation with the local authority.

...strong correspondence between what is learnt in schools and what is required in workers for the Capitalist system. For example, they found that in school the pupils who succeed the most are obedient and unquestioning, rather than independent and inquisitive. Bowles and Gintis believe that these qualities are valued in workers as they will accept the authority of their employers, and not question their orders. This idea is backed up by a study they conducted ‘schooling in capitalist America’. The hidden curriculum is said to teach motivation to pupils by trying to encourage achieving good grades. This is then used when the pupils leave school as they are motivated to work hard to attain a wage. It also teaches people to accept the heirachy. It does this by teaching the pupils about authority and power relationships. This then leads to the pupils believing that they should follow the instructions of a person with more authority for them such as the police. Also, the hidden curriculum teaches subservience. This where pupils follow instructions of an authority figure without any questions and then rewarding or punishing them for good and bad behaviour. This leads to pupils behaving in an...
