Despite the new discoveries in medicine whether it is a new vaccine or antibiotic, the most basic components for disease prevention and death in humans depends on a good nutrition and access to clean water. The RX for Survival: Back to the Basics video depicts how both an inadequate nutrition and malnutrition can impaired a child’s physically and developmentally. It is estimated that over 100 million children in the world are undernourished and causing the death of more than “one third” of the children (WHO). Furthermore, the consumption of contaminated water, which carries disease organism, exacerbates the mortality rate among children.

After viewing the videos of Samantha’s preschool inclusion and Peter’s classroom inclusion, I found that there are a few benefits of inclusion for children with special needs and their families. Inclusion classrooms can be very beneficial for children with special needs because it gives them a chance to be around typical developing peers to socialize with and learn from as well. In the video of Samantha’s situation, the typical developing children really enjoyed Samantha because despite her unique challenges, they were still able to play with her and they considered her to be a good friend. Another way inclusion classrooms are beneficial for special needs children is that, teachers of inclusion classrooms work closely with the family and team to develop the appropriate adaptations for children with special needs. When children with special

After watching the video Precious Knowledge, the first example of ethnic studies being threatened/ facing elimination is that senate is passing bills like 2881 that act against diversity and programs that support and culture beyond what is sought to be “fit” in the American educational system. Programs that promote ethnic studies gives students the pride and knowledge of where they have come from and therefore they feel more engaged in the classroom. Leaders like Tom Horne have the right to their own opinion but are being oppressive by not embracing the culture of different ethnic groups. By not attending these classes and trying to relate to these diverse communities; he is creating a dystopia to the American youth. Political leaders should

Frontlines video “Separate and Unequal” brings up two differing sides to an on growing concern within Baton Rouge. Both sides have one common goal and that is to better the education of their own children. However, with this mutual desire comes conflict with both parties due to the fact that some parents believe that their child is not receiving the best education they can get and thus limiting their child’s future. Frontline though does not choose to focus on this important issue throughout the video and instead alters the situation so it becomes a racial conflict instead.

Strategic staffing is important for any company. CanGo has several projects already started, with new ones being developed; a good staffing strategy is going to be a key element for the near future. The staff that CanGo has is unproductive, the staff they need is non-existent. The ASRS systems are a good idea, it would free up staff for other areas, but it would also take staff away from already important projects.

e.) Education/ pg.488: is a group’s formal system of teaching knowledge, values, and skills. This video clearly shows how the three children did in school. They wanted to balance between getting an education and working. In one of the beginning scenes of the video, it showed Zulema in a meeting with her advisor. She was asking her what her future plans were after high school. Zulema knew that her situation may not get better. This is a typical situation where an immigrant child who is a part of a child labor would not be able to finish the grade they are in. Some many make it to high school, but nothing beyond that point. They know their place and would not be able to leave their family to carry on without them. The children in the video

Many charter schools are known for their rigorous programs that challenge students to fulfill specific requirements that are different from traditional schools. Charter schools also value the idea of cultivating students with a talent for arts, technology or music (Chen). Institutions such as charter schools may be viewed as open or loosely constructed based on the unique guidelines displayed in each school’s charter, but in reality this is untrue because the individuality of each charter is what allows each student to excel based on the personalization and attention given to every single student who attends. A charter school has the potential to reach out into the community and help children who are not able to fit in at a traditional public school and it may allow the student to learn from a new perspective. Any child is allowed to apply to a charter school and they are admitted on a first-come, first served basis or through a lottery. The decision is not made on race or sex of the child and there is a fair chance for every student. A charter school is a great alternative to private school because there is no tuition fee at a charter school which is run by the state. Operators of the charter schools are able to provide children with a school that will create new and improved services which are lacking in the public school districts (“Charter School FAQ”). A charter school can also help

In public schools sometimes kids get involved with the wrong crowds; sometimes they then get into drugs and alcohol. Teen pregnancies, situations at home, and no parental support are also factor in students dropping out. Online charter schools serve as an alternative schooling method for students who are unable to attend physically. Online classes are provided to make sure student get their diplomas so that the student can have better jobs. This is suitable for students who take care of their families; the schedule is more flexible for these students; they learn at their own time and their pace. This is also useful to students who cannot get to school because of transportation limitations. These students can study at home, and usually, the schools lease computers to them, and provide the necessary materials. For the kids who are physically able to attend charter schools, the teachers and parents work together to create a better school environment, so fewer dropouts occur. Many charter schools have a student to teacher to parents communication system. They have weekly newsletter and emails to make sure the parents are involved with their children. The faculty and staff make sure their students learn in a place where safety, discipline, and trust is promoted. This improves test scores in reading, math, and reduces the number of dropouts. Violence, bullying, the use of drug and alcohol are also reduced when put into a better school

Compared to the older generation of media and education to the contemporary modern day uses of media and education, these institutions are much differently based on the time period. My perspective of this issue is going to be much different than someone who is much older than me. The occurrence of dramatic events changes their perspective, this in other words is know as experiences. Our experiences make us who we are. Stereotype is a common term I use to describe a lot of the social issues that I continue to see throughout my lifetime. We all judge a book by it’s cover and the experiment by Jane Elliot called A Class Divided explains how humans in the previous age before the 2000s understand society. This experiment determines that humans don’t

In the short video we were presented with, Myth Busters were attempting to venture off and hypothesize whether or not driving while talking on a cell phone was just as dangerous, if not more, than driving while intoxicated. The conditions used to to test this hypothesis are two individuals who were given three driving tests all on the same course, followed by analyzing the results of the driving exams. After configuring the data that they had obtained, they came to the irrefutable conclusion that, although both highly menacing, driving while on a cellular device was much more perilous than driving impaired. Like every other experiment, this too has an independent and dependent variable. The independent variable in this observation are the drivers

The Direct Instruction approach asks students questions both one-on-one, and as a group. The teacher teaches in front of the classroom while having the students sitting down in rows or in a group on the carpet. In Susiun Elementary school, a teacher follows a workbook while students are reading from a handout with the same content. A list of words is numbered and the students have to reply as a class what the words say and how to spell them first saying it at a steady pace, then increasing in speed. After this, students are individually tested at the end of the day consisting of the teacher following along to the student reading a passage while keeping track of their errors. Students are less competitive in this process and have individual

All speech or expressions under the United States Constitution is not absolute. If, I wanted to go in a crowded movie theater and yell “there is a fire,” when in fact there isn’t a fire. I could be prosecuted under the law. In America, there are many exceptions to “free speech,” placing clear limitations on expressional non-verbal and verbal, public communication. According to “The Law of Journalism and Mass Communication” a textbook by Robert Trager, Susan Dente Ross, and Amy Reynolds, speech regarding “hate, fighting words, obscenity, true threats or intimidation, harmful images, assault,” and much more to include school speech, are not form of speech protected under the First Amendment.

For years, as an educator, it has been my passion and privilege to help my adult students succeed inside and outside of the classroom. As such, I have created, developed and facilitated numerous courses in Adult Basic Education, GED and ASVAB preparation, Career Placement Testing preparation and Learning Strategies. Courses and websites I have developed have produced excellent results as students have achieved (and surpassed) their academic or professional goals upon completing my courses.

Parents along with their child are the main part of this plan. As a parent or guardian they have the most knowledge on the student’s abilities and future goals. The parents will help the child complete an age appropriate assessment which asks questions regarding their likes dislikes preferences and interests. Along with the student, the parents must also fill out a forty six item assessment tool to measure the students’ knowledge and maturity on transitions and placement. A parent or guardian must also be open about the placement of the child when they graduate. This may include living at home or seeking an assisted
