School Curriculum And Programs For Their Secondary Education

Community colleges in the United States develop rapidly and have become a vital component of the postsecondary education delivery system. As of 2011-2012 school year, 45% of all undergraduate students were enrolled in public two-year colleges, approximately 8.3 million students (Knapp et al., 2012. Cited by AACC Fast Facts). And it seems that with globalization and Obama’s education agenda, the trend of growing enrollment in community colleges won’t change. A high school graduate who decides to pursue postsecondary education may face with a dilemma--whether enroll in a community college or a traditional four-year college. Even within a community college, a student may be faced with a choice—enroll in a vocational program and enter workforce after graduation with a vocational certification, or choose an academic program with an intention of transferring to four-year institutions.

As generations pass, and students change and develop, teachers and administrators propose new techniques to help students improve. From the introduction of school, to the division of age groups, to standardized testing, someone always has a new way to help students in school. A new idea, however, may be the key to success. A school in Massachusetts has developed a new program that challenges students with college level classes while still in high school. As students improve in school, to prevent boredom in the classroom, they need a challenge, this challenge being harder level, college courses. While still in the comfort of high school, students experience the rigor of college classes, this helping ease the transition into higher education

San Jose Mercury News Editorial, authors of “Remedial costs are too high for CSU to bear” highlight the San Jose State University policy that took place in 2009. The policy is about Freshmen students who are required to take remedial classes since their math or English basic college-level aren 't good enough.To notice these students that need help ahead of time CSU created the Early Assessment Program . Even though CSU created the voluntary Early Assessment Program, which has an essay and two dozen questions that are included in standardized tests given to juniors, many students didn 't pass it. Those students who don’t take the Early Assessment Program or aren 't qualified will have to take online tutorials and remedial classes which take a year to study. Sadly, there’ll be no repeat chances for those students who don 't pass their remedial courses. They may have to hire tutors or take courses off campus to gain the basic knowledge "they should have received in high school," as the authors said. The author assume that it 's both students and their high school 's responsibility for college readiness, and I strongly agree with the authors ' aurgement. College readiness shouldn 't be CSU. However, College readiness is high schools obligation , and students duty as well.

The mission at Zebulon B. Vance High School “is to graduate young adults who are self-directed, intellectually engaged citizens ready for college, career, and life.” Furthermore, it is a communal belief that “all students can learn and achieve at a high level; that an open channel of communication among faculty; students and parents is vital to cultivating student respect, responsibility, and independence; a commitment from all stakeholders creates a safe and nurturing environment through academic performance, extracurricular activities, involvement, positive behavior, and respect for diversity; a secure and supportive climate fosters school pride and citizenship; high academic standards motivate students to realize their highest potentials; cross-curricular instruction and utilization of technology will prepare students for future challenges in work and in life; providing teachers and staff with resources and professional development opportunities promote individual and instructional growth; support from local businesses, universities, and community organizations help students develop life skills and decorum necessary for success in a diverse” world.

The Border Action Network is a leading instate human rights advocacy group serving border communities throughout Arizona. Established in 1999, the community based organization activities are grounded in grassroots leadership and organization to be able to serve marginalized immigrants, criminalized and militarized immigrants along with border communities. The organization’s mission is to advance equality, understanding, justice and dignity among humans of diverse sexual orientation, religion, race and country of origin. To attain its aims, the Border Action Network also plays the role of ombudsman, by linking immigrants with policy makers at all levels of government from state to the national level in order to address deficient areas in the law. The organization has in the past raised many queries regarding inhumanity of the immigrant enforcement officers at the border.

Students nowadays face many challenges when it comes to obtaining a college education. We evaluate an institution’s quality based on what we need the most. The qualities sought out may vary by each person’s personal point of view. However, as a student, I’ve found that most students seek for an institute that benefits them the most. Attending a community college has been an enormous advantage towards my education. I have been attending San Bernardino Valley College for the last two semesters. I have come to respect their philosophies and values. The institution has now been in business for 87 years. They venture to encourage both students and faculty towards high standards of achievement and progress into exceptional members of the society. They now offer a variety of degrees, transfer programs and certificates for a wide range of students. San Bernardino Valley College has an accomplished staff, student support services and technological tools that pave the road towards the conquest of a quality education.

As a recent graduate of Iowa State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Design focusing on art history and education, the position as Education Coordinator and Advisor at Buena Vista University captured my attention as an opportunity to work with students through educational programming. As a recent college student, I provide a valuable perspective on academic advising through my own personal experiences. I have learned many advisors lack in truly connecting and catering to each student’s individual situation and needs. Buena Vista University, a relatively small area college, provides an opportunity to fully connect and provide personal one-on-one experience all students deserve. Subsequently, students gain the absolute most out of their college education. A large part of my career goals entail helping students of all ages engage, thrive and connect in their own individualized way.

Education plays an important role in every person’s future. Not only does it enhance a person’s intellect, but it allows them to discover what they want to become. For the past years, high school students were having trouble graduating and when Texas ranked the lowest in the population that received a high school diploma, the state decided to minimize the amount of exams students had to pass. Although Texas students became successful in graduating, this way of graduating harms the student because they were unable to understand the basics in their education. The reduction of End-of-course exams from fifteen to five and later to three motivate students, but also teaches them that they don’t need to work hard.

Education. An example of an accelerated program in Education is the one offered at Walden University. The school provides three accelerated MSED specializations to help students complete the degree faster: (1) Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment (Grades K-12); (2) Elementary Reading and Literacy (Grades PreK-6); and (3) Teacher Leadership (Grades K-12). The program can be completed, depending on specialization, in as few as 12 months at a cost of about $10,000, a significant tuition savings. Walden’s goal is to have the same academic standards for the accelerated program that is has with its regular programming. Employing self-directed and non-self-directed online coursework, students are trained to help diverse student populations thrive in the classroom by deploying the latest education theories and evidence-based strategies.

“The Early College High School will genuinely engage first-generation college-bound students to complete a rigorous curriculum, supported by technology, that is clearly aligned to student interest and state standards. Flexible coursework will be provided in a challenging and supportive environment with an applied learning focus that provides students a structure that enables them to earn their high school diploma and to overlap those efforts with those needed to earn an associate degree, leading to a bachelor degree and employment.”

This paper will discuss the Community College System as it is predicted to be known in the future. The higher education community is setting forth on a new journey into the twenty-first century. Embarking into a new millennium is a factor fueling a transformation of the educational system such as new market learners of all ages, cost effective education, customized education, and convenient education (Ryland, 2016). Although technology should not drive the direction of any college, it will be a tremendous asset toward strategic goals of the college, more specifically, assisting students in their educational endeavors (Ryland, 2016). To add to the struggle of technology in education in the future, de los Santos and Milliron (2015), suggest

Public education has historically attempted to educate more people and make higher education more accessible to all students. Thus local school districts, higher education institutions, states, and the U.S. federal government are increasingly dealing with funding issues. Faced with decreases in additional funding, our focus must be on channeling existing resources toward practices that increase the probability of student success. This includes best educational practices and viewing schools and higher education institutions that affect student performance as part of an inter-related system, not as separate institutions. Today, educators acknowledge that there is no straight line to earning college

If there is one thing that all American’s can agree on it is that the education provided for our youth serves as the foundation for the continuation and prosperity of our nation’s future. On the smaller scale, the students that live and learn here in the state of California will become our congressmen, doctors, policemen; the future of our great state. The adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) was necessary for improving the education policies in place for the youth in California. For one, it replaced the failing academic system, the No Child Left Behind Act. Second, the CCSS drives students to build deeper conceptual understandings of course material and foster their critical-thinking and analytical skills. Next, the CCSS levels

George S. Patton was one of the most famous American Army leaders of his time. Many people who served under Patton have different opinions about him. Some say that he was the best leader they had ever met while others despised him. There are curiously enough, very few opinions of the great General that fall in between the two extremes.

Wireless sensor networks are the networks that gather information such as environmental information, which there are numbers of applications of WSN such as healthcare, building monitoring, forest fire, smart home etc. WSN is capable of sensing, processing and communicating independently. However, as most of the sensor nodes are powered by non-rechargeable battery, the limitation of energy supply has considerably reduced the lifetime of the sensor network. Hence, new designs of sensor node network and energy efficient MAC (Media Access Control) and protocols for long term autonomous monitoring wireless sensor network has become the next vision.
