Education Program For The United Nations Development Program

Bill Gates claims he is worried about the state of schools, and admitted he testified in court for this reason. By including such a well-known public figure, the audience can connect to him and trust what he is saying due to his authority. Michelle Rhee became the new Chancellor of the Washington, DC public schools in 2007. She too was in favor of bettering school systems and also appeals to the audience in persuasion for change through authority. Although Rhee was not warmly esteemed by the Teacher’s Union or parents in the DC area, her judgement and opinions, formulated from experience and observation, further support why major changes are needed for the school system. Both Gates and Rhee imply that educational opportunities must be bettered so that the lives of children across the country will be impacted and the chances that they succeed bettered. This appeal is effective because they go along with just morals and ethics and support change, which inspires the audience to follow them and fight for change as

In any medium the last words of an author, lyricist or screenwriter are the most powerful of the entire piece. An ending can completely ruin a perfectly good piece if it isn't what it should be. It can also redeem a mostly mediocre piece by being exactly what it should be. Often the best endings are ones that do not end the way the reader wants them to, but end the way the reader knows they should. Baldwin is definitely an author who knows how to end a story.

Prejudice; the unjustified negative attitude towards an individual or group based solely on their position within certain societal groups. Prejudice is not merely a statement of opinion or belief, but an attitude that includes feelings of contempt, fear and loathing, which results from a preconceived cognition or stereotype. I.E. black people aren’t as smart as white people, all gay men are effeminate etc. These core beliefs more often than not lead to heavily discriminatory behaviour from the in-group in order to undermine the out-group/minority and force them to believe their own stereotypes. This idea can be clearly related back to the movie Remember the Titans where racism, sexism and homophobia were a regular occurrence backed up by

After I watched the speech which was gave by Bill Gates in June 08, 2007 on the Harvard commencement, I felt more interesting in Bill Gates. According to the information offered by woopidoo.com, we can find the Biography of Bill Gates, which said, “Bill Gates is one of the most influential people in the world. He is cofounder of one of the most recognized brands in the computer industry with nearly every desk top computer using at least one software program from Microsoft.

Success in a typical high school setting could be defined as working through four years of classes, completing homework, activities, projects, and tests, and culminating with a walk across a graduation stage to receive a High School Diploma. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had a different and more challenging idea for high schools when they developed the Early College High School Initiative. This Initiative was a collaborative effort between their Foundation, Jobs for the Future and several other partner organizations. The goal was to create schools where “challenge, not remediation, couple with substantial supports and free college courses in high school, can result in college success for students underrepresent in higher education.”

Bill Gates (William Henry Gates III) was “brought” to this world on October 28, 1955 in the “lands” of Seattle, Washington. He growed up in an upper-class family with his two sisters: Kristianne and Libby Gates. His father, William H. Gates Sr., was a shy and promising law student when he met his “future” wife, Mary Maxwell, who was an ongoing student as an athletic in the University of Washington. Mary, at the time, was actively involved in student affairs and leadership. His families atmosphere is very warm and close and all of the three children, including Bill himself, were all promoted to be competitive and academically intelligent by their parents. However, Bill showed early signs of “competitiveness” whenever he plans to play board games, such as Monopoly and Risk, with the family at their summer house located in Puget Sound. In his childhood, Bill had a very close relationship with his mother since she would often take

There are dozens upon dozens of major education organizations, think tanks, state education departments, local districts, universities, foundations, and institutes that have all accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more, from Gates. For example organizations such as the PTA and American Federation of teachers are both advocates for the CCSS and unsurprisingly they too have their hand in Gates pockets. The PTA received $2,005,000 alone while the American Federation of Teachers received $1 million (Ohanian). These organizations are more than willing to sell out their

The Outward Bound Program is a distressing experience for the Year 9 students and is not worth experiencing. Students are required to travel 6 hours out in the middle of nowhere and spend 9 days camping there with the lack of sanitary needs. During these 9 days, students are to hike with heavy loads on their backs for many kilometers. This is away from their normal environment. Students are to cope and adjust to the outside environment, being exposed to cold, rain, wind, sunburn and heat. This can be quite stressful for some students. There are a lot of adjustments children have to make in order to adhere to the drastic changes in environmental conditions.

When reading Natalie’s post about the CDC’s work with UNICEF, it brought about thoughts of the importance of collaboration between various countries and health-based organizations. I believe that these collaborations are crucial if the human race is to maintain and/or improve overall global health. From this, I conducted further research on various inter-professional collaborations and discovered how beneficial global partnerships are towards global health. This is because these partnerships assist with the implementation of various global health policies and other health-based initiatives that enable this maintenance and improvement (CDC, 2015).

William (Bill) Gates III was born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington to William H. Gates Sr. and Mary Gates. He grew up in a middle class family with two sisters; one older than him, and one younger. Bill was much of a book worm in his early years and his behaviors seemed to be quite a concern to his parents. Taking action, they decided to enroll their son into an elite prep school, Lakeside School. Bill exceeded expectations by excelling in all his classes almost immediately, with his favorites being in math and science. As all children enrolled at Lakeside were provided with personal computers, Bill showed his skills by developing a simple Tic-Tac-Toe program for students to play against the computer. While rising to the top of his class, Bill met his best friend, Paul Allen, who was a few years older than him and shared similar interests. At the young ages of 15 and 17 years old,

The political factors and the leaders at a given time in American history can have a colossal influence over the education system. The decisions made by presidents in regards to education often have lasting impacts that can alter the course of education and history across the board. From President Kennedy and Johnson passing the Civil Rights Bill which affects every facet of American life not just education, to President Carter creating the Secretary of Education position, and President Bush passing the No Child Left Behind Act, many presidents have played a role in developing the education system we now see. Though the legacy left by each of these presidents is different, all left their mark on education, however unknown it might be. Without

Around the age of 11 or 12, Bills behavior changed and his parents began to have concerns about his behavior. They thought he would become a loner. Once Gates turned 13, they enrolled him at Seattle’s Lakeside School (Prep School). He did good in nearly all of his subjects, very well in math and science, but also very good in drama and English. Soon a computer company in Seattle offered the school computers. He was fascinated by what a computer could do, he would spend all his free time using it. Soon he met Paul Allen (soon to be his business

The Diversity, Citizenship, and Global Education Consensus Panel was gathered by The Center for Multicultural Education at the University of Washington and developed “Democracy and Diversity: Principles and Concepts for Educating Citizens in a Global Age” document. According to the document, four principles and ten concepts are critical for creating education programs which will guide students in becoming effective citizens of the world. The principles and concepts imply that students should learn about democracy, diversity, human rights, and interdependence from the perspectives of their local communities, nations, religion, and the world.
