...of Intervention Ideally, each scholar should be given an equivalent opportunity for education that will lend the appropriate amount of supports that is needed to reach their educational goals and to provide for their academic needs. This right references an individual’s constitutional entitlement and it is the right of each scholar. It is the basis of their right to receive the same free and appropriate instruction as their peers. When scholars are having difficulties accomplishing their academic goals and are not achieving as excepted, adequate supports are to be provided that will promote the integration of the pupil. The Pyramid of Intervention (POI) allows for a process that supports the scholars that continue to struggle to reach designated goals. Pyramid of Intervention is a term that is assigned to apply to systems of support. Such supports collectively collaboratively make available the needed supports for the student that has difficulties using traditional strategies. The mentioned supports and accommodations that may be able to generate a significant difference in the progression of educational achievements of the struggling learner. The author of this essay will attempt to elaborate on the definition and the purpose of the Pyramid of Intervention. It also elaborates on the use of the POI, and the process of creating one for a given district. The paper will outline the relationship among the Pyramid of Intervention, the program of study, and instructional intervention...

...academic scholar. The transition from being a “learner” to a “critical thinker” requires the doctoral student to ascertain an individual perspective of how best to obtain and synthesize knowledge for the purpose of creating new knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to determine how important developmental social networks (both academic and non-academic) and critical thinking are to new doctoral students. Weidman and Stein (2003) analyzed the effect of the social climate between students and faculty at academic departments on the overall development of professional identity among Ph.D. students. Baker and Lattuca (2003) analyzed developmental network theory and the theory of sociocultural perspectives on learning to theorize that an interdisciplinary approach of learning and socialization was the best model for promoting positive professional identity development. Visser, Visser and Schlosser (2003) examined the importance and impact of social networks in the development of critical thinking skills among students by contrasting distance learners with traditional classroom learners at the university level. Comparison of Research Questions In their studies, the authors tackle how doctoral students can best prepare for a doctoral education and how developing social relationships and networks within their chosen academic programs helps doctoral students with developing a professional academic identity. Visser et. al. (2003) analyzed the first part of that journey – the pre-doctoral...

Marcos with the proclamation of Martial Law. They served to arrogate unto the Chief Executive the lawmaking powers of Congress. Only President Marcos issued Presidential Decrees.

CIPRIANO, M.A., RGC, CCOP Guidance Counselor Institute of Arts and Sciences Guidance Counselor Institute of Tourism and Hospitality Management Freshmen year in college is a period of adjustment. While it offers opportunities that go well beyond the acquisition of an academic degree, it also brings pitfalls. A student’s first year of college, for instance, is critical not only for how much students learn but also for laying the foundation on which their subsequent academic success and persistence rest. Being cognizant to the complexities that a college life may bring, the University Counseling and Career Office of the Far Eastern University, in coordination with the various departments of the institutes, facilitates the implementation of the Academic Competence and Empowerment Program (ACE) to address the needs of its growing number of student-clients. It is composed of six (6) modules designed to assist freshman students in their adjustment to college life. The program aims to help the students acquire the necessary skills and competence that would enable freshmen to meet the demands of student life at the University. The Academic Competence and Empowerment (ACE) Program is anchored on the principle that the learner is the key to his/her own success. The program provides the students with opportunities...

...Professionalism is a quality that is practiced on a daily basis by individuals in many adverse fields of employment. Atsede Fantahun (2014) said, “professionalism is defined as the conceptualization of obligations, attributes, interactions, attitudes, and role behaviors required of professionals in relationship to individual clients and to society as a whole” (p. 2). A professional is expected to display competent and skillful behaviors in relationship with their area of concentration. Nurses are required to bear a tremendous amount of responsibilities and are expected to uphold all values of the nursing profession. A serious nursing shortage is causing multiple issues in the nation’s health care system. Many experienced nurses are leaving the field and young people are not selecting nursing as a potential career. Because of this, reassessment of professionalism in nursing is recommended. The word professionalism has a multi-dimensional concept behind it. This means that there is a single basic interpretation, or any one way to assess it. Although it is multi-dimensional, it is possible to deliberate on by looking into the individual, inter-personal, and societal fractions. In nursing, professional practice is known to be a strong loyalty to compassion, caring and strong ethics, development of self and others, accountability and responsibility for insightful practice, and a sense of demonstrating a sense of spirit, collaboration, and flexibility. It is shown that nurses...

...HOW TEACHERS DEVELOP SELF-EFFICACY BELIEFS THE CONTEXT AND MEASUREMENT OF TEACHER EFFICACY HOW TEACHER EFFICACY AFFECTS CLASSROOM LEARNING IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS The concept of self-efficacy was pioneered by Albert Bandura (1925–) who characterized self-efficacy as the extent to which individuals believe they can organize and execute actions necessary to bring about a desired outcome. Self-efficacy is fundamentally concerned with the execution of control rather than the outcome action produces. In 1984, Patricia Ashton (1946–) published a groundbreaking study that fundamentally expanded the concept of efficacy to include the extent to which teachers feel confident they are capable of bringing about learning outcomes. Ashton identified two dimensions of teaching efficacy: general, the extent to which a teacher believes her students can learn material; and personal, the extent to which a teacher believes her students can learn under her instruction. Ashton argued that teachers' beliefs Figure 1ILLUSTRATION BY GGS INFORMATION SERVICES. CENGAGE LEARNING, GALE. about their ability to bring about outcomes in their classrooms, and their confidence in teaching in general, play a central role in their abilities to effectively serve their students. Since then, studies of teaching efficacy and its inclusion in studies of teacher effectiveness have grown exponentially. Subsequent understandings of teaching efficacy have refined Ashton's understanding of personal efficacy. In a...

...Cheating, Copying, and Use of Tutor-Source Websites Copying is one of the most commonly committed acts that violate academic integrity. Copying includes looking off of someone else’s paper (or using someone’s paper or answers from another course, classroom, or previous session). It also is committed when a purchased (or free) paper is found online that is specific to the assignments provided in the course. Websites like Student of Fortune, ScribD, Ask.com, and so forth (many others) sometimes end up with DeVry assignments posted on them by students who have hired online tutor sources to write their work for them. Faculty members are aware of these sites and, just like students, can Google sources to find out if a paper has been bought from these sites. Avoid these sites like the plague—seriously. It just isn’t worth the extra hour or two it might buy you if you end up with a 0 for the paper or course or lose your degree over buying a paper (or getting it for free.) Typically, the #1 red flag to a professor that one of these sites has been used is when multiple students miss the same question in the exact same manner. Yes, the answers on those sites will typically cost money, but the answers are not guaranteed to be right. And further, the free papers on those sites almost always have wrong answers. Do not use these sites! Avoid them! If you use them, citing them is not enough to overcome the copying stigma and violation of the policy. As one instructor of the course...

From there, we created a selective program to find the most outstanding Vietnamese students. Through this process, we hoped to find the best employees for AmCham companies.
