Advantages And Disadvantages Of B-School Education

On Tuesday we started a debate over if we are for recess and if we aren’t. I was on the pro side of the debate. With doing this debate we found out a lot of reasons why maybe recess isn’t such a good idea and why it is a good idea. For the pro side we found that recess provides an unstructured break that gives children discretionary time to engage in physical activity. We also learned that recess can be held anywhere. Recess plays an important role in a comprehensive school physical activity program and can provide a portion of the activity that a child needs every day to maintain health. We also told the con group that children learn through play. Free play allows children the opportunity to be themselves and use their imaginations. The con

This essay includes several examples on how the two categories are not similar, when the main focus is relating it to education. Perhaps this reflects the main issue, of how schools are being taught, which makes it effective. Although the author of this article is bias, because he is a teacher himself, I believe this makes his argument more believable because he is in the center of the problem. The author relates to the audience by describing characteristics of being a customer, because of the fact that we all have been a customer one way or another. The demands that make the audience interested in this issue is that it is recent. This makes it powerful for the reader's, because of the time period the issue is released. I think the reader would react to these arguments with surprise. How the author states that many instructors call students "customers" is effective, when most people would not know that otherwise. The support given throughout the essay is relevant to the author's

The office I currently work in is the financial aid office at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM). CNM is a two-year institution. After reviewing the seven inventories, I have discovered that there is so much outside the financial aid office that takes place to insure student success. A common misconception is that all learning outcomes are the responsibility of faculty. All departments can use these principals across the institution. As stated by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators [NASPA], (n.d.), “They are intended to shape how we think about our responsibilities, communicate our purposes to others, and engage students” (para. 14).

Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa want students, professors, and administrations to hold themselves to a high standard to achieve greatness, not just expect it despite the amount of effort they put in. The arguments they make in chapters one through three are valid points and is what has made this book have so much impact on its readers. The current attitudes and lack of effort at our colleges and universities, the effects that a student’s background has on their level of achievement, and emotions on their academic success all have a direct correlation to the decline in our education system, hence the reason they are expounded on. Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa chose topics that need the most change to create the most change for the desired outcome. Which is, a high quality education system and environment, purpose driven faculty, and academically successful students.

What are the unique areas expertise that student affairs practitioners bring to the learning enterprise in the academy? Draw from your own experience.

The Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) uses standards and guidelines to promote, develop, and assess the quality of programs and services for student affairs professionals in higher education (Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education, 2015). Founded in 1979, the CAS approach is to ensure excellent educational practices secure in the belief that its standards and guidelines are to be used in a variety of ways to enhance institutional quality. The CAS standards influence practice in the following manner including assessing a current program, expanding existing programs, creating a mission statement and goals, justifying existing

The purpose of this paper is to develop a statement of professional philosophy. First, I will introduce myself as a student affairs educator. Next, I will gather together my beliefs on student affairs, and provide a context for my professional practice. Lastly, I will explain how I will contribute to the profession. My aspiration to become a student affairs professional derives from the challenges I experienced as an Asian American, first generation, and low-socioeconomic status.

Colleges and universities recognize the importance of accountability. Institutional accountability reports to a multitude of stakeholders with varying expectancies from student’s expectation of a quality education, oversight agencies want assurances that schools comply with rules and regulations, while donors want proof of investment, and alumni need reassurance that the reputation of their school is progressing (Kearns, 1998). Reputable higher education institutions take their accountability and accreditation seriously, which requires adherence to rules and regulations set forth by external entities such as the Department of Education and a regional

Accountability, according to the authors, is about the collective effort of policy and institutions to meet student needs and the needs of the public, but it is not about assessing institutional effectiveness in contributing to student success. In their view, accountability to peers is accomplished through peer review in processes such as accreditation. As such while accountability and assessment are related, assessment tends to be conducted in order to demonstrate accountability to stakeholders.

To ensure correct and effective support is in place for students I have developed a number of reports utilising the data management system at the University. I organise and manipulate the reports to provide detailed information on the students within the college in a clear and effective manner. I use this data as a guide to develop projects that help to mitigate issues within the University. I have continually presented reports and

The discussion of the year-round schooling calendar versus the traditional schooling calendar has been ongoing for some time. There have been many discussions and debates about the advantages and disadvantages of both. The amount of school districts across the United States that have switched to year-round calendars has increased drastically. The year-round calendar provides students with more frequent breaks of 15 days at a time and a shorter chunk of schooling for students with 45 days in school, also known as the 45-15 plan. On the other hand, the traditional schooling calendar provides longer chunks of schooling at a time for

61). Similarly, the elements of S-C-R-I-P (Social Responsible, Commitment, Reflective, Integrity, Professionalism) support the betterment of all students. So, to maintain the betterment of students, sound ethical research will highlight the vitality of being good stewards in carrying out assigned tasks. Wise stewards are defined by their willingness to accept and effect the moral principle of individual obligation. Acceptance of individual obligation will be a choice that educators make. All students can learn in their least restrictive environments. Administrator should be sensitive to the needs of these students and should not jeopardize their learning opportunities. Furthermore, they should equip themselves with knowledge of students’ development. This knowledge follows a continuum of learning. Researching new strategies and emerging trends empower administrators to execute their tasks. Believing that all students can learn and by knowing how to meet their instructional needs, are the practices that precede Implementation. The implementation of changes from qualitative and quantitative studies coagulate educators’ compliance to the elements of

Student personnel point of view encompasses the student as a whole. The concept of education is broadened o the student’’s well rounded development- physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually as well as intellectually. (sppv) Student affairs not only emphasize on academic excellence but to shape each individual as a unique human by providing a holistic learning and living environment. Student Affairs professionals play a pivotal role in the development of the students. By applying different theories in student development, they can foster student learning to help them shape their identity. Student affairs staff members must view themselves as educators to refute the belief that learning is held only in the classroom. (contested issue, 29). Learning does not only occur in the classroom but through out of class activities as well. Student affairs staff should talk about student learning and development to enhance the multiplicity of growth areas for students in higher education. These learning and development experiences do not simply happen to students. They happen with their active involvement. There are numerous branches of fields in student affairs that attend to the unique needs of each individual. Residence Director trains Residence assistance to cater to the needs of first year students who are new to the college environment. RA plays a major role of introducing the life of college through building relationships and community to help them develop their sense of

College can be very overwhelming and stressful at times. Many students struggle to keep up with all their assignments and due dates. There are many resources on college campuses that can aid students in time management; paper writing and studying habits, but the main resource that students tend to neglect are their professors. Professors are the ones that are teaching the material, assigning the homework and making the test. Student faculty interactions can be crucial to a student’s success in college. Whether it is for internship opportunities or recommendations, teacher’s jobs are to help students learn and succeed. Teachers are a great, free resource in college that seems to go unnoticed. Student-faculty interactions have major effects on a student’s self-efficacy and academic integrity. These are just a handful of the countless effects of student-faculty involvement.
