• Focus on outcomes indexed by real numbers: UPCAT passers, national exams and, if possible, international behavioral standards and assessments. • Leapfrog with increased math proficiency, then do broadfront with language and science.
Early roadblocks
• Poor facilities • Lack of qualified teachers • Lack of funds • Prevailing lack of sense of urgency nor need for

Global Trends #2 :
CVIF-DLP’s Response:
Development of a good learning ethos over content coverage.
Writing slows the students down allowing more time for the brain to absorb a topic.
Writing and drawing of figures activate both the psychomotor and visual faculties.
FOCUS: Enhanced by an Activity-based
Multi-domain Learning
Learning by doing
Discovery approach Problem-solving Active, not passive, learning
In-school activity policy

Insights from Neurosciences
“Neurons that fire together are wired together.” “Neurons that fire out of sync, lose their link.”

Activity Title: LearningTargets:
7. Lack of learning motivation and low levels of attention: It may cause problems if one or more of class have a short attention span and/or lack of motivation to learn. Help to prevent this by make lessons interesting & relevant; increase student involvement & interaction. Include multiple sources of learning - multi-sensory, practicals, field trips, hands on, project work, activities.
Students don’t always know what they are going to write about right away while writing an article or essay, some people just need to give it time. Donald M. Murray claims in his article in “Write Before Writing”, students should be told of the importance of prewriting. To do so students have to understand the write before writing. Murray list 4 strategies in writing, there is Resistance, force, rehearsal for writing, and implications for teaching. “Most writers need time to wait for the ideas to flow into your head for everything to make sense, some people call is procrastination or delay.” (Murray 375) Murray talks about the four pressures that move them forward, by increasing information - when the writer decides on a subject understands the subject they are writing about, increasing
When you start to think about it, quickly you realize that almost everything we do in life has some sort of writing around it. Whether it be sending a simple text message or writing a long essay we all have to have the common foundation of how to write. As students progress their way through high school we are often pounded with the rules of writing. By the time you get to be a upperclassman you quickly learn that your days of learning how to write are not over once you get to college. As someone who is looking to study Aeronautics at Liberty University, still, the days of learning to write are far from over. Because Liberty University requires students to participate in two writing based classes my skills will continue to be developed. Even
Students should care about learning how to write at the college level because it is part of the foundation of learning how to comprehend readings. Learning to understand any type of readings can help in the workplace as well as college. This is because the reader will be able to fully the grasp the idea of what is being told to to them. Therefore, the best way to learn this skill is being able to be a writer that knows how to “influence a student's comprehension”(Alhabri 2). This could also help in the workplace because you know what to do in order to get the job done effectively.
The encoding hypothesis says that writing helps to encode the information better. The external-storage hypothesis suggests that by writing down the information is helpful because you can review it later, therefore increasing retention. Even though, there has been a mix of results in these hypotheses it is certain to say that the use of these two hypotheses together can help improve the academic performance. Other research suggests that note taking can be generative (in our own words) and non-generative (word for word). Verbatim note taking tends to lower our cognitive process. The deeper the information is processed and encoded the better the comprehension and retention of the information and better it is for encoding. The research has shown that people who take verbatim notes show a lower academic performance than those who use non-verbatim notes.

According to my my results after taking my LCI quiz I am a Dynamic Learner. In Sequence my score is 22 ( as needed), my score in Precise is 26 ( use first), my Technical score is 22 (as needed) and my Confluent score is 25(use first). I always thought that I was Strong Willed but after reading my results and what it meant, I am almost there but not quite.
My LCI scores show that I am a Dynamic learner. My scores are Sequence 20, Precise 28, technical 27 and confluent 22.
In conclusion, schools need to come up with a way to enhance student to teacher associations, better security measures for students and schools that are financially responsible. If schools can agree on a way to make class life better for students we will see a significant increase in schools production. The system is corrupt and without a plan cannot be fixed. Schools need a base to start in order to make progress to
Every day consists of writing, whether it is informal or formal. Writing comes in different forms including, emails, essays, text messages, and even note taking in class. I have gathered materials and assignments in my major to analyze what kind of writing is required and how it should be executed. What I discovered was surprising, but almost every piece of research revealed that writing is not incredibly important in my field of study.
I look back at how I write. I actually changed my way after I get into college. When I was in high school, we don’t have writing class, the writing is combined with Chinese class. So we might just take 2 or 3 times writing class each semester. In the writing class, teacher taught us how to write, how to generate our idea. But except writing class we are asked for write, the only writing we need to do is for the exam. In the writing class, I would give some time to think about what I’m going to write, maybe I would write a outline. But for the exam, I don’t have time to do that. The writing part take 40 percent of the grade, but the time we got is depend on how fast we can finish the other parts of the exam. When I finish other parts of the

Anytime I was told to write a paper of more than a page, the first thing that crosses my mind was run-ons and grammar errors. However, as I read “Teaching Thinking by Teaching Writing,” I was exposed to two different techniques to begin the writing process. In this article, Peter Elbow explains what the two techniques mean and what they do for us.

Another weakness is teacher training development, there is not enough professional development training for the teachers.
