...This can also be an opportunity for the manager and employees to learn more about each other. Many times, coaching is utilized during performance evaluations at Trustmark. This is the opportune time to converse with an employee one-on-one and discuss any questions or concerns that the manager or the employee may have. This is typically the time when the manager might make suggestions to the employee that may help them perform their duties more efficiently. Harvard Business Essentials: Coaching and Mentoring (2004) states, “Preparation begins with direct observation, the goal being to understand the situation, the employee, and the employee’s current skills and behavior.” Coaching can also be very beneficial to not only the employee, but also to the organization as a whole. Some benefits of coaching include, but are not limited to: • Strengthens employee skill which allows management to delegate more duties • Helps the organization to prevent expensive and timewasting performance issues • Boosts employee...

...in Education Found In: teaching strategies 145 Peer tutoring is a term that’s been used to describe a wide array of tutoring arrangements, but most of the research on its success refers to students working in pairs to help one another learn material or practice an academic task. Peer tutoring works best when students of different ability levels work together (Kunsch, Jitendra, & Sood, 2007). During a peer tutoring assignment it is common for the teacher to have students switch roles partway through so that the tutor becomes the one being tutored. Since explaining a concept to another helps extend one’s own learning, this practice gives students the opportunity to understand better the material being studied. What does the research say about peer tutoring? In reviews of peer tutoring programs, researchers found: * When students participated in the role of reading tutor, improvements in reading achievement occurred * When tutors were explicitly trained in the tutoring process, they were far more effective and the students they were tutoring experienced significant gains in achievement * Most of the students benefited from peer tutoring in some way, but same-age tutors were as effective as cross-age tutors (Burnish, Fuchs & Fuchs, 2005; Topping, 2008) Some benefits of peer tutoring for students include higher academic achievement, improved relationships with peers, improved personal and social development as well as increased motivation. In turn, the teacher benefits...

...Section One – Clinical Learning Environment This section provides a critical discussion of the clinical environment within which I’m presently working. I will aim to identify and discuss further ways in which our learning environment is conducive to a positive learning experience for students, as well as identifying areas in which the environment could be enhanced. This critical analysis will look in particular at those areas of the clinical environment which have been identified in research as being both positively and negatively influential on a students’ learning experience. According to Nicklin and Kenworthy (2000) the clinical learning environment, within the content of nursing, can be defined as: “Those circumstances that directly or otherwise influence the teaching and learning of nursing.” (Nicklin and Kenworthy, 2000, p13) This is more recently supported by O’Mara et al (2014) who highlight that clinical nursing education is of vital importance in providing students with opportunities to integrate their theoretical knowledge into their nursing care, develop clinical judgement and a professional identity. Furthermore, they identify that the clinical nursing environment has many complex variables which could influence students’ learning experiences, both positively and negatively. Walsh (2014) discusses several such variables which should be considered in the clinical learning environment. These are categorised into the following main areas; staff, availability of...

...Psychology Research Assignment Effective Learning styles Date: 16 April 2012 Class: Psychology 3AB Introduction Russell L. Ackoff was an academic, a scientist and a researcher who suggested that in the 21st Century, rather than content, the most significant contribution to education was acquiring the capability to learn with the motivation to do so throughout our lives. Learning styles pose a great influence over an individual and helps to guide their learning. Visual teaching is a particular learning style which incorporates ideas and concepts that are associated with images and certain techniques. It is a proven learning technique focusing on improving a person’s academic performance. When considering high school students, images such as plots and graphs, allow them to break up concepts into individual components, enabling them to analyse results quickly and efficiently. Carbo, Dunn, and Dunn (1986, p.13) approximated that 20 to 30 percent of school students remember what they heard in class, while 40 percent recall what they had seen or read. There are three main learning styles: auditory, visual and kinesthetic. Auditory learners are taught with a traditional teaching style, where the lecturer/teacher uses and presents information verbally, while changing their tone of voice and showing confident body language to capture the attention of their students. While visual learners benefit from diagrams, pictures, films, and written instructions, kinesthetic learners benefit...

...outline topics such as; the importance of effective communication, employee development and coaching. It will also analyze different management styles and discuss why each manager should mix several management styles together in order to be effective in dealing with such diversity. According to dictionary.com, communication is defined as the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing or signs. It is not only important for managers to understand how effective they can be based on their communication techniques but also understand that each team member or subordinate will respond differently to each form of communication. In the workplace, managers can communicate with their teams via e-mail, telephone, web casts, text messages, instant messages and face to face. Being a great manager is about learning which communication technique works best for each individual. One mistake that managers make when dealing with a wide range of employees: believing that what works for one individual will work for all individuals. Having conversations about performance, communicating changes and relaying bad news can be difficult for those in management positions. The negative conversations are necessary; therefore if leaders have a strategic method in how they deliver the information, it makes it...

...As a young girl, my family regularly spoke about my uncle Frank (Francis W. Moore), a graduate (1953) of the United States Naval Academy (USNA). He was revered in our family for not only being a USNA graduate, but a fighter pilot in the Vietnam War. I was fortunate enough to hear of his inspiring stories about the structure, rigorous training and intense academic curriculum the USNA offered. However, for me it was the core values that the USNA instilled in my uncle of honor, respect, devotion to duty, as well as his leadership traits that are most appealing and unlike anything I would receive at another college. In addition, the camaraderie and sense of unity that’s rarely seen in most college settings are essential principles at the USNA....

...Alcohol seemed to be a coping mechanism to pass the time during the struggle of the 1920s. “The men and women who frequented the Amateurs stayed drunk all of the time or all of the time they could afford it…” (Hemingway 15) explains the lifestyle in which the people were living during this time. Gertrude Stein was one of the many people who had a strong influence on Ernest Hemingway’s life. Miss Stein played the role of Hemingway’s mentor throughout his writing career. Although Gertrude Stein was not a writer, she was the only opinion that mattered when it came to success in writing novels. Stein was not one to express positive feelings about another’s writing, as Hemingway explains in the novel; “In the three or four years we were good friends I cannot remember Gertrude Stein ever speaking well of any writer who had not written favorably about her work or done something to advance her career…” (Hemingway 59). “His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings…I was lucky to meet him just after a good time in his writing...

...should be a 2-3-page essay (typed) on a specified individual you admire (who is/was also in sort of leadership position over you). Specifically, describe how their communication behavior added to their effectiveness. Be specific and don’t just describe what they did communication-wise, but what sort of affect it had on you. Draw conclusions from your arguments. (Deadline for Submission: 15th July) “Leaders are either born or nurtured, but never made” I was pondering upon as to about whom should I write. There were many leaders whom I admire, the most inspirational being A P J Abdul Kalam, our own president. From being a mere (no disrespects, just to show the growth of our President) boatman’s son in Rameswaram (in my own state, and I could very well imagine the type of scenario he would have been in at those days) to becoming the First citizen of India, the leap has been tremendous. Of course, nothing would have been possible without his hard work and dedication. But, should I write about him as the MOST influential leader who changed my life as such. It is true, but only to some extent. The one who has mentored my whole life and taken me so far (IIM L) and is also urging me, inspiring me, motivating me to dream big is my brother, Mr. Subramani Ramakrishnan, the leader I admire the most. There are many reasons to it, blood relationship being the last. His communications skills being the most important one, various other skills are also prevalent in him, like coolness...

Steve Job’s is the CEO of Apple and Pixar Animation Studios and one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the 21st century. He talked about his college life taking classes he did not enjoy just too finally drop out and do what he enjoyed creating computer software programs that would change the technology industry forever. Where I am today in my life is a happy positive growing place, it is filled with ambition, motivation and success. I grew up in a strict religious house hold; my mother pushed me and my 3 siblings to be the best we could be in every subject. My mother was especially hard on me because I was the oldest and the only subject I really enjoyed was math. I remember when I was little I wanted to be everything from a basketball player to a engineer. My occupational goals always changed because I had so many different interests and ideas. At 18, I took the General Education Diploma Exam and joined a community service program called AmeriCorps St. Louis. My service included reading and mentoring elementary and middle school kids. It was a joyous time filled with excitement, laughter, fun and love. It was during this time I knew whatever occupation I got into it would involve helping others and teaching something. I joined the military when I turned 19; the US Army was a great place to learn discipline, commitment and how to teach others in an effective...

...you know wanjiru was only 24? A recent man, from a poor background and little exposure with a lot of money and fame in Nyahururu. No knowledge of how to handle both. I’m ruminating over what the focus on girl child empowerment and the related negligence on the boy has had an impact in our contemporary socialisation – especially young men. Case in point: was in Watamu at the school with a colleague who deals with Early Childhood Development. Girls were all called out and told to beware of boys and not to go after sugar daddies for cash. The boys were left in class peeping out of the windows. I went and spoke to the boys. Turned out 4 times a month the girls are taken out by someone to talk and they never do. Who’s investing in mentoring our boys? how do we get good men brought up? Does anyone see a problem? I’m disturbed Al. Then V (She’s a respected scholar and thinker) said: Yes. Al Kags. There is a horrible problem.

...welfare mothers and people doing drugs that lived in the east part of rialto” (Taurelle). Taurelle attended Ike High School in rialto, where he saw kids getting high before school, having sex on campus and, fighting every day. “The bad stuff never stops happening: it lives in its own dimension, replaying itself over and over” (O’Brien 31). Even though Taurelle’s life was not so easy growing up, he told himself as a freshman in high school he wanted to change that when he became older. Taurelle played three years of varsity basketball and always had aspirations of coaching. The love he has for his job is irreplaceable. Taurelle is a special and dedicated person to the youth in his community. Taurelle Johnson’s day begins with securing and mentoring kids and ends after sunset with coaching a high school basketball varsity team. In between is a 10 hour shift as a security guard at Kaiser high school in Fontana California. The campus is very clean, and most of the kids that attend the school walk, mostly because the school is in a big neighborhood where kid’s homes are close. Taurelle starts at five in the morning, primarily because of zero period, and he needs to be there early enough before the students to unlock the two main entrance gates. After the ten hour shift as the head security guard he coaches varsity basketball for another three hours.
