Achieving Goals At The King's College

Education is important and plays a vital role in everyday life. Educating begins at birth. The demand for a higher education today is under demand and is always increasing. Self-improvement, endless job opportunities, and character development are all

Martin Luther King is quoted as saying: “Intelligence plus character; that is the goal of true education.” As I continue to develop as a person and meaningful and flourishing part of society, I aspire to attend a university that represents academic excellence, diversity and leadership in transformation. Nelson Mandela was once quoted as saying: “Education is the most powerful weapon which

I have had a lifetime goal to attend college, it just didn’t happen early in life. When I first came to CCU, there was no doubt that getting my bachelors in early childhood would be my major. My passion has always been young children. It started when I babysat as a young teenager and has continued in my life as a preschool teacher. Education is constantly changing: therefore, I feel I need to have more knowledge and wisdom to be the best teacher possible. Education is by far one of the most important tools to have a successful life. With diligence, I want to be a leading educator and to be a gateway for my students to learn. It’s exhilarating how many lives a teacher will touch each day. A teacher has the power to reach out and make learning a positive and memorable experience for every child. Furthermore, teachers are one of the first caregivers for young children. Although I am not at the beginning of my career, while at CCU, I will grow in faith, help and learn from others, and strive to graduate with honors.

For this program outcome I chose my curriculum analysis paper from CUR 512, Curriculum Analysis and Planning. In this course we defined curriculum, the aspects that are considered when writing curriculum, the theoretical perspectives found within curriculum, and the goals of the curriculum. By writing this paper, I was able to focus in on a unit that I teach in third grade social studies to get a full picture of the curriculum. I was also able to see the complex issues surrounding the curriculum that I never previously noticed.

I am motivated by my dreams, being more success and also living a better life. In the great words of Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’’. So it’s very important to be ahead in life and for me to be focus of my career goals and what I want to accomplish. College also gives you great experience in the fields and real life training, college can also enhance skills set on computers and areas of work that high school didn’t teach you, so it’s important for me to get the education I need. A degree also can provide me with promotions in the near future.

This goals pertained to my ground expectations of where i wished to be upon graduation. And with the knowledge that Ucc would grant me that opportunity eased my heart as well as limited those opinionated facts of off

Because I have identified several tools given to me – and that I am aware of my purpose, I can now set goals. My most immediate short-term goals as a college student include: becoming proficient at balancing my time well, soaking up the information that I am being taught, making great grades, serving my community, traveling and studying abroad, and attaining internships and scholarships.

In April 1866, the Holston Presbytery assembled at the Old Pleasant Grove Church in Bristol, Tenn. to establish a Christian College (King University, 2015). It was built on land donated by Reverend James King, and in his honor, King University was founded (King University, 2015). King University’s establishment and history have led me to a greater appreciation for its systems and the University’s values. My experience at King University has been built and maintained on numerous levels. My educational, professional, and personal world has undergone a positive transformation due to my educational

This report summarizes my findings after evaluating the curriculum of Natchez-Adams School District. I was granted access to the curriculum by Dr. Delarious Stewart, Curriculum Director for the Natchez-Adams School District. This report is designed to reflect how the curriculum is aligned with state and district standards. A curriculum is vital to promoting the success of all students because it is the content that is being taught in the school district. For this reason, the person or persons designing and developing the curriculum must understand the many different facets of an effective curriculum. I will present my findings in the following paragraphs.

Students continually grow in many different ways. I will provide curriculum that incorporates subject matter along with the Good News of Christ Jesus. As their teacher, I will challenge them to take

Student Success focuses on the intellectual, cultural, physical, social and moral development of students. Student Success encourages students to realize their potential as individuals and as prepared, enlightened, responsible members of an increasingly complex and diverse global society. As a professor in the educational process I believe Student Success is vital to the overall alignment of this institution’s ability to serve as a center for learning, scholarship and creative endeavor. Student success is the exploration, identification, and achievement of personal and academic goals resulting in college readiness, credential, certificate, degree completion, and or employment. Making every effort to help students be successful is the focus

“Curriculum is often one of the main concerns in the educational field. What kind of curricula should we offer to learners?……“Curriculum” seems to be considered greatly as what teachers are going to teach and, in other words, what learners are going to learn. In fact, “curriculum” is also closely related to how well the learners learn—the outcomes. Thus, as an umbrella term, “curriculum” includes a lot of issues” (Wensu, 2012, p.1). For example, what kind of content the curriculum should have? How do teachers implement the curriculums? What about the assessment and feedback of the curriculum? I am going to analyzing a curriculum document, the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (I will call it ELA document or ELA Standards in this paper) to shows how these issues are related to the curriculum in the following paragraphs.

At its most basic point a higher education is valuable for its learning potential. As students, we are offered the chance to gain a broad sense of knowledge that help us understand and interpret the world around us. This in of itself is an accomplishment, but it also allows us to learn our own limitations and go beyond them. A higher education should do more than just teach us about the world around us. It should teach us about the world within; our self. This duality in the world we learn about also gives us a unique opportunity. That is the opportunity to set and achieve goals. Through our understanding of the self we know who we are and where we want to go. This gives us a strong sense of direction and purpose which we can direct towards setting goals and finding the motivation to achieve them. The knowledge and skills that we learn about the world around us, are just as important. They give us the capability to achieve the goals that we set for ourselves and ultimately the ability to reach

As curriculum leader it will be imperative to work collaboratively with teachers in the process of curriculum creation. The systems thinking approach can and should be essential to the process of curriculum design and implementation. Simply taking information from a book and regurgitating the words to a classroom of students does not meet the increasing educational demands of state and federal requirements. By working with teachers, I would be able to aid in the developing of goals, devising of assessment tools, and planning of instructional methods, so that they may begin to explore the interrelatedness of each step in the process towards student learning (6 Change in Thinking - Systems Thinking, 2012).

The world is perpetually changing, and people are changing with it. Every day, there are new demands, necessities, and ways to achieve success in the 21st century. Consequently, to evolve at this rapid pace, people desperately seek opportunities to grow intellectually and feel they have succeeded in life, because everyone has his/her own inner power to make the world better. According to a contemporary model of a liberal society, humans are placed in the center of the planet around them. They are not just observing what is going on, but also participating. They have the right to express their opinion. These ideas might seem to be not very related to an educational process. However, a basis of such
