NCLB set forth a certain criteria to be met, but allowed the states to determine how they would accomplish it. Therefore, each state handles assessment and accountability differently. This makes it hard to show success or failure of the programs. Supporters and critics alike can cite research that supports their opinion. My opinion of NCLB is it is flawed, developmentally inappropriate, ill funded, ←and→ leaving more students, teachers, ←and→ schools behind than ever before because The tests have turned into the objective of classroom instruction rather than the measure of teaching ←and→ learning.
In turn, it has caused a lowering of standards, which has had its greatest impact on minority students. Whether one adheres to Hirsch’s views or not, he drives at one of our nation’s greatest concerns: the inequity of achievement in education. We should move to embrace educators who make education relevant to students, while also maintaining high standards for them. He makes some valid points
It seems that publically funded education has always been a contentious point for politicians and constituents alike. Questions of funding, teacher evaluations, and concerns about the role government plays in managing public school systems have troubled law makers since public schools came into existence. Many believe that schools are vital for the betterment of society’s youth, but this seems to be the only point people can agree upon. When the education system seems fails teachers are often the first to bear the brunt of the blame. However, the problems of education run deeper than just those elements under the control of teachers.
Many were not motivated or properly taught by teachers, and in fact began to fail out or drop out of school. Most do not go onto College and most cannot afford College because of their low income families. In order to receive financial aid you must be a good student, and without the right education these students do not have good grades. It is a vicious cycle in our society that needs to be corrected. Education is one of the most important factors in a person’s life, and it needs to be the most important thing in our
* Based on the best evidence, consider the implications of failing a student * Critically reflect on the consequences of “Failing to Fail” Demonstrate recordable evidence of mentorship update which is relevant to remain on the mentor register database Identifying the Underachieving Student: Most students successfully achieve their learning outcomes on placement. However, some students do not perform at the expected level and evidence suggests that mentors find this one of the most challenging aspects of the mentoring role Duffy and Hardicre (2007). Many contributing factors can influence how to deal effectively with this aspect of the mentor’s role such as: * Uncertainty about expected levels of competence. * Allowing a settling in period * Time constraints * Conflicting shift patterns * Lack of confidence in dealing with the issue * Lack of support for the mentor. Mentors often have an instinctive feeling early on in the placement about a student performance but may have difficulty in articulating or describing what is often a vague concern.
Assess the importance of school factors such as racism and pupils’ responses to racism in creating ethnic differences in educational achievement The differences in educational attainment between different groups of pupils have been a major focus of much sociological research. These differences can often be seen to be largely due to different social class, but also gender or ethnicity. Social class is the most significant and dominant factor when looking at these differences, but ethnicity also has a relative impact on educational achievement Education has a key role to play in eradicating racism and valuing diversity and it a responsibility for all educational establishments, including those with few or no ethnic minority pupils. Promoting racial equality demands a whole school approach and commitment from all those who are involved in the life and work of their school. Racism is linked to the educational achievement of minority ethnic groups, however the connections are complex.
The unsuccessful recruitment and retainment of nursing students contribute significantly to this longstanding phenomenon. This issue of underrepresentation of minority nurses in the profession is especially significant since it has resulted in the professions’ inability to provide the diversity required to care for the exponential increase in cultural and linguistic diversity of the population the United States will experience (Loftin, Newman et al. 2012). The National League of nursing
The occasion of students leaving school prior to graduation is a growing problem both in the United States and around the world. With the world growing more dependent upon technology, education is more important than ever for one to secure stable employment. Students who leave school early are more apt to be frequently unemployed and dependent upon the state for support. For these reasons it is in everyone’s best interests to prevent students from dropping out of school and more research is being done to determine how this may be accomplished. Much research has been done on this topic trying to determine the cause and to discover methods to prevent its continuance.
The HR department is supposed to introduce intergenerational method to solve the problem and improve the organization effectiveness. Problems Diagnosis Four key themes of differences existing within organizations between managers and different generations are expectations and turnover, work experience, value of national cultural background, and attitudes and behavior (Honore and Schofield, 2012). Retention of young people has become the most important issue for most managers to concern. Compared to Generation Xers and baby boomers, young generation with little patience toward jobs will quit quickly if they are not satisfied with it or they recognize that jobs do not meet personal ideals, while Generation Xers and baby boomers have a great sense of community, having greatly loyalty toward company and colleagues relationship. Due to the rapid transformation of world or less emphasis on importance of work, Generation Yers seeks the jobs providing satisfaction and happiness rather than job itself.
Introduction Roles have frequently been identified with the rights and duties of a person within a social system as determined in part, by various elements in society. At any given moment, the life of the individual may be conceptualized as array of roles which the individual plays in a distinct set of organizations and groups to which he belongs. The purpose of this paper is to provide a closer look at some of the substantive areas of role conflict between individuals and groups within the school settings and to suggest some strategies designed to prevent these conflicts in schools. The presentation is on: Roles Role confusion Role conflicts Role conflicts in Special education: Causes. Role conflicts: How to prevent them.
