...As a teacher it is your responsibility to not only present new material to the student but to teach them and to verify and monitor what information they are actually obtaining and processing. There are many forms of assessments that teachers can use to evaluate students understanding of lesson material. I will suggest a few methods that I will use in my secondary education mathematics classroom. The first strategy of monitoring I will discuss will be quizzes. There are multiple advantages for this form of testing. First, is that it easily produces recorded data. I can quickly grade multiple choice questions and record the students’ grade. Being able to record this grade will allow me to present scores to the parents when I am asked for a student’s progress. Another advantage to a quiz is the ability to assess both the entire class and each individual’s understanding on a topic. I will be able to look at the overall measurement and decide whether there is a need to review the topic or lesson, or if the class is ready to advance in the given studies. Also, by presenting multiple quizzes through the term the students and I can create a set format, which can help ease classroom anxiety. Another form of monitoring students’ progression through a lesson is homework. Homework can be one of the most effective methods for tracking mathematical progress. Assigning, collecting and grading homework can be a very timely way to gather information on how each student is progressing through...

...Journals and Scientific Documents The purpose of journals and professional papers is to inform the public on a specific subject matter. These writings relate directly to a broad spectrum dependent on the edition or publication specifics. Of professional papers, several types can provide a scope of information and credibility toward a purveyance of technical or detailed information. The structure is usually even flowing and organized with particular information segments set out about the constituency of the writing. These papers, intended for publication in special interest journals, enhance the writers research, writing, and documentation capabilities as some of the information, not being his/her own will need to be accredited as if it is not, than plagiarism will be extrapolated. Journals, usually published by or for a particular subject matter or client, are detailed and accurate. There may be a UCLA journal, National Geographic Journal, or even a mechanic’s journal. The particulars of this, geared toward a particular audience and each entry, will usually comprise two titles sharing a general viewpoint for the nonprofessional and an entry specific title for the professional. The purpose of journals is to inform a group or individual of the credible elements related to a curriculum or scientific, professional, or academic scope. The writings or information in a journal may be composed of professional papers but the opposite is not the same. ...

...Difference between journals and diaries:- The difference between a diary and a journal is that a diary is where you can write down what happened during the day and keep a record of stuff. A journal is to write your own personal feelings in, and things that happened, and how they happened. A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details that what was happened in the office, and who took whose side. It is a like a newspaper about you. A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal. You can keep a journal in anything that feels comfortable and that’s portable–a spiral notebook, a bind book you have put together with lokta paper, index cards held together with a rubber band. You can use a computer; keep a blog, although that doesn’t work as well for me. But things on the internet are simply not private, password protected or not. To keep a journal on paper, pick a time of day to write. Keep it regularly. It makes it easier. Try that you didn’t stuck to an exercise program because then it can nailed it into schedule at a certain time. Writing works the same way. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, while eating lunch at your desk. Write with a good pen that feels good and whose color you like. In the beginning, you may have to set a time limit. Three minutes is good. Just write whatever comes...

...Since the very beginning of my days as a student, I have despised literature. English has always been a subject that I dreaded. I do not loathe literature solely for my lack of writing skills, because I do enjoy reading, rather it’s the fact that I tend to lose my train of thought while writing an essay or while brainstorming an idea I want to address. I struggle with organizing my thoughts and making concise relationsHIPS[?][CONNECTIONS?] between literary texts and the assignments given by my teachers. The only time I do enjoy writing is when I can write freely in my journal. By writing in a journal, I do not worry about the grammar and organized aspect of writingCOMMA and it clears my mind.

...The Dynamics of Writing and Family “Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand." -- Bruce Fairchild Barton, advertising executive and congressman Uncle would say, "There are certain inalienable truths you must accept." So when I raged about Atheists being disqualified for holding office in Arkansas or how it's illegal to carry a bible in Singapore, he'd say, "Write it down. Let it out." I've filled four journals. On an idle Thursday, when my mind was free of frustration, I read the crumpled, yellowed pages of my black leather journal and saw a natural progression from black to color. I had precisely captured all my experiences, but in an entirely aesthetic way. From then on, every time I opened my journal, I found myself in an unfamiliar environment writing to capture a mood or scene with creative language. It was my therapeutic getaway from reality. In the summertime, every Sunday, after taking a rattling cold bus, two smoky, humid subway trains, and picking up the best peanuts on 114th street, I would arrive at Riverside Park, New York. I wrote at least one piece every time I was there and shared my work with the same old man who perused the New York Times and the same skinny college student who sunbathed in her bikini. After noting any criticism they gave, I would return home, edit and embellish each piece. ...

...Most evidence practice is a variety of several different components usually: research-based information, clinical expertise and patient preferences. (Schmidt, pg. 39) Evidence based practice takes into account scientific evidence, and clinical expertise and for many nurses it might seem a daunting task to keep abreast of the most recent evidence and journals. Over the years nurses have seen that practice is also based upon tradition, trial and error, and personal experiences. As a alternative to reading the most up to date journals, many nurses rely heavily on their practical experiences. Tradition has long been an accepted basis for information with nurses. We are taught a set of rules and regulations, commit them to memory and implement changes based on our own experiences. The rationale for many nursing interventions commonly practiced is grounded in the phrase “this is the way we have always done it.” (Schmidt, pg. 40) Many nurses are so entrenched by the practice of tradition that they fail to question procedures or practices which could lead to changes based on evidence. If faced with a question of change, or rational of a procedure, evidence provides us with the rationale behind why we implement certain interventions as a response. In reality some nurses don’t want to think critically when providing care to their patients and tradition provides the perfect excuse in fulfilling a job function. Past experience in many instances has been valued more than evidence based...

...popular topic of research for universities and hospitals like Benson-Henry institute. When meditating one is engaging in the practice of relaxation and living for the moment. Meditation is a built in instinct we all have. One just has to learn how to tap into their natural ability to start rejuvenating their mind and body. There are hundreds of different ways to meditate and there is no one technique suitable for everyone. Most people associate meditation to just one practice. The practice of sitting crossed legged with a clear state of mind. This is a very popular form of meditation but one does not need to sit cross legged or even clear their mind to meditate. One just needs to find what is suitable for them. There are four main categories for meditation mindful, spiritual, movement and, focused meditation. Mindful meditation is when one sits crossed legged and enters a flow like state of mind. This means you allow your mind to flow from one thought to the next without really focusing on one particular thing. It is also the most popular practice of meditation in the Midwest. Spiritual meditation is the practice of using vibrations or sounds so one can connect to the flow of energy from god that is throughout all existence. The most common way of spiritual meditation is through chanting Hu which is an ancient name for God. John Roger says people practice this type of meditation because they are looking to transcend illusion and limitation and move into the awareness of soul...

...Technology’s Impact on Employee Training Introduction Technology impacts every aspect of our lives in the 21st century. In our fast-paced professional environments, we continually seek efficiencies with our time management skills and training methods that meet the real time needs of both the organization and the individuals that require that these learning objectives are implemented into their daily jobs. In the past, on-the-job training offered the most effective avenue for transferring knowledge. However, with the introduction of technology in the United States during the 20th century, ensuring quality standards were implemented meant that organizations had to re-evaluate their training methodologies. Additionally, laws implemented to advocate for workers also brought about changes in the approach to employee training. With the onset of technology as a helpmeet for understanding the needs of an organization as well as offering training that helps grow the business, employers began implementing these new technological learning opportunities when offering employees both company-centric and legally required training. Noe (2010) tell us that, “Recognizing the value of human, social, and structural knowledge, many companies are attempting to become learning organizations and to manage knowledge in order to develop better products and improve customer service.” Therefore, as companies proceed into the 21st century and modify their approach to training on a global scale...

...There is high prevalence of FGM expected in Upper Egypt which is an area with low socioeconomic class, high illiteracy rates and low gdp per capita. It is expected that working women who hold an educational degree even the circumcised from them will refuse to continue the practice of FGM. The occupational status of females is expected to have a direct relation with FGM practice and the prevalence is expected to be high among unemployed females. The relation between access to information and prevalence of FGM can be anticipated, areas with little to no access to information or awareness programs will have the highest prevalence. Messages delivered through internet or television may not be accessible to these areas. The study is hoped to stress on the importance of delivering awareness messages not only through media but also through regional home visits, seminars and events for areas with little access to information. It is anticipated that the research will have a clear direct correlation between female education and practice of FGM. It is hoped that the local authorities and public education sectors will take in consideration female education and facilitating continuing education for those who have dropped out. Ethical concerns Researchers will need to go in pairs having at least one female in each pair to be able to hold private interviews with females as the social background of interviewed sample may not accept women talking to strangers.
