2. Current Experiences A key aspect of my work relating to teaching and supporting student learning is concerned with development of two on-line postgraduate modules.

Summary Introduction: The adult learning theory is very important in the college environment today, with many adults returning to college for various reasons. It is a benefit for both instructors and adult learners to understand the adult learning theories in order to make the adult education experience more successful. Summary of Article 1: Article 1 “Revisiting adult learning theory through the lens of an adult learner,” discusses five different traditional learning theories, "orientations," to learning: behaviorist, humanist, cognitive, social cognitive, and constructivist (Jackson &, 2009). It discusses the meaning of each and gives thorough examples of what each style of learning is (Jackson &, 2009). It also discussed the teacher’s role in adult learning and how important it can be to the learners (Jackson &, 2009).

Unit 304 Promote Children and young peoples positive behaviour Unit 304 Promote children and young people's positive behaviour 1) Explain benefits of consistent application of rules and active promotion of positive behaviour. In order for education to proceed there has to be a good standard of behaviour. I believe that good standards of behaviour provide learners with boundaries, order, and a secure environment to achieve a good education. As education providers it is our responsibility to show learners what is expected and it is our duty under obligation to implement legislation such as the Every Child Matters framework e.g. • Be healthy • Stay Safe • Enjoy and Achieve • Make a positive contribution • Achieve Economic well being.

Secondly, children increase social and cognitive development from positive influences that are communicated by teachers. Emphasis around Vygotsky’s theory will explain the basis of social interaction facilitating learning with the benefit of good communication (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010). Thirdly, teachers must develop high level of written and verbal communication skills. This will develop good relationships between the teacher, student and family leading to proper educational practices that will improve student’s overall outcomes will enhance their literacy skill. Finally, educators with effective communication skills prove an ability to adapt teaching methods to suit the needs of students they are supporting (Kearns, 2012), and with appropriate delivery of good communication, student learning increases.
Causes of Stress on College Students College students are faced with many different stressors during their time in school. It is a chapter of their lives that their parents have tried to prepare them for from a very young age. Whether they are high school students trying to get accepted into a college, a student transitioning into college dorm life or adult students trying to balance their job, their home life, and school, college is a stressful time. The stress of college starts before they attend their first class. In fact, it starts as early as the first college application.
In order for FCP to be effective, professional familiarization with the family setting and activities is significant. It is important to note that the professional may not provide effective assistance without developing a partnership with the family. A good understanding of the family ensures a smooth transition of experiences between a home and early childhood settings.

Program Evaluation (Module 8) Final Project August 15, 2008 Introduction This research paper seeks to analyze programs that assist students with their first year transition into college life. Successful programs can aid in fostering the character and moral development of first year students by providing an environment where students can enhance their social and academic skills within their institution. Oftentimes, a student’s first year in college is viewed as a “transitional year” that sets the foundation for a student’s subsequent years in college. (Gardner, 2001) More importantly, however, the first year of a student’s college experience is a time in which the greatest numbers of college students withdraw or drop out from school. (Misra, 2000) Background Attending college can have a profound impact in one’s life from a personal, social and vocational perspective.
