In some cases, if the children do not understand a rule (this could be down to the way the rule is worded) then staff must discuss them regularly during class and assembly time so that the pupils can remember them. Children who display a good following of the code of conduct should be recognised. Children who show good behaviour in class are usually rewarded with an achievement sticker or older pupils could get rewarded with things like a longer amount of Golden Time for example. If
Basing on research of Brody & Benbow (1987) and Stanley (1985), Heward (1996) indicated: “Programs that allow gifted students to accelerate their academic program have been highly successful in terms of academic achievements, extracurricular activities and social and emotional adjustment” (p.482). Beside acceleration, curriculum compacting is also an effective method to engage talented children in learning activities. It aims at focusing on important content in required curriculum, removing superfluous information and substituting appropriate materials (Heward, 1996). According to studies of Renzulli, Smith and Reis (as cited in Haring & McCormick, 1974), curriculum compacting guarantees that the
Not only is this beneficial to the public, private, and charter school system, but for the homeschooling children as well as children with learning disabilities. The I industry and it’s portability has paved the way to not only higher rate of learning and success, but higher test scores, grades and an educational
175). With increased self-concept due to mainstreaming, improved interpersonal communication and relations for those with intellectual disabilities is particularly important and should be further researched and practiced in school settings. Self-concept, one of the three dimensions of “the self in interpersonal communication”, is the perception or image that someone has of oneself based on others' images of them, social assessments, cultural ideas, and his or her individual analysis’ and assessments. For those of typical populations (or those who do not have an intellectual disability), self concept usually varies from person to person given that everyone is different and perceives everyone differently. But for those who are considered in the “special population” (those with intellectual disabilities) often have a distorted self-concept.
I myself think that it helps for students’ motivation and confidence. The question is what kind of praising we should use. Should we emphases on their intelligence or the efforts they put in work? Believe it or not, this can affect their performance in school. I really like the idea of the author that there are two kinds of mind-set: fixed mind-set and growth mind-set.

Analysis on why key stakeholders are involved and the benefits the Sainsbury’s School games provide such as tackling social issues through sport and how it benefits both commercial and non-profit organisations. Problems and issues that come with forming complex cross sector partnerships will also be discussed, looking to identify and include possible solutions to help maintain relationships. 1.0 Aims and Objectives of the Youth Sport Trust ‘’The Youth Sport Trust is an independent charity devoted to changing young people’s lives through sport. Established in 1994, we are passionate about helping all young people to achieve their full potential in life by delivering high quality physical education and sport opportunities.’’ (Youthsporttrust.org, 2014) The Youth Sport Trust (YST) aims to give every child a high quality PE and sporting education in primary school; ensure all young people have a sporting chance by creating opportunities for those with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities and support all young people to achieve their sporting best in both school and personal lives.
Also, parents and teachers pay much attention to children’s academic achievement. Once their children’s academic achievement are lower than others’, they may look for for the reasons. However, birth order is quite possible one of the reasons. For instance, Zajonc (1976) reported that first born siblings scored higher on intelligence tests than their later born siblings. Thus, it is important to study the relationship between birth order and children’s academic achievement.
THE FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE 2 FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE AND ENGAGEMENT Ensuring that students keep engaged in their studies throughout university is obviously a high priority for educators in higher education. The First Year Experience (FYE) has drawn much attention in the late 20th century and early 21st century (McInnis, 2000). Therefore it is imperative that educators of FYE students acquire appropriate knowledge and develop sufficient skills to assess students early in their studies (Wilson, 2003). This Literature Review describes the FYE with special attention to aspects that trigger discontentment. Subsequent research will then recommend several key mechanisms that educators of FYE students should put in place to combat attrition levels.
How about the influence of the teacher? Suppose it just so happened that the teacher in the small class is much better than the teacher in the large class and this is the reason why the students in the smaller class did well. The 'type of teacher' becomes an intervening variable because it was an important factor that was not initially considered by the researcher. Suppose that there were two different types of books used or two different types of curricula used? Suppose it just so happens that the students in the small class happen to be smarter than those in the large class?
Extracurricular activities are activities performed by students that fall outside the area of the normal curriculum of school. What are some remarkable benefits of these activities? How do extracurricular activities affect children? The purpose of this essay is to discuss some positive effects of extra-curricular activities on child development; the three most important of which are influences on physical development, mental state and social skills. First, extra–curricular activities offer some significant benefits to children on physical development.
