Introduction Using a case study can be a powerful tool to enhance a learning experience or foster critical thinking skills within a group. The particulars of the case can resonate with learners and spark deep and probing questions about assumptions on a level that a lecture or other similar learning activity cannot. This report summarizes the group process we utilized in order to develop a case study for use with other class groups. It details the theoretical models that underpin our…

Early Childhood Education Makes a Difference in the Academic Success of At-Risk Children It is essential for our society to recognize the importance of early childhood education and how it affects a person’s life. Early childhood education is not “babysitting,” it is a powerful tool needed to guarantee a child’s academic success. The development acquired during a child’s preschool years set a foundation for their future. At-risk children are in jeopardy of achieving such great success due to…

I remember my kindergarten days, when most of class time consisted of learning phonics in class. I recall doing this as the whole class repeating the sounds of letters in unison. We would all go “st, st, st” as we learned how different sounds came together. The alphabet also started becoming relevant in kindergarten. A fair amount of time was spent tracing letters of the alphabet and remembering how to scribe each one. We would also do rainbow writing, where we traced the letters in all kinds of…

Training and development events within the processes of an organization attempt to create a learning program that prepares its employees for required tasks and growth in their abilities needed for future demands (Noe, 2013).

The first two weeks of the program were an intensive training program that taught me many of the tools I use today inside my classroom. During these two weeks, each department also worked closely with our department head who showed us our curriculum. Since all of us were either still in high school or part way through college, we were lucky to receive daily lesson…

Reflection on Self-Directed Learners “At the heart of self-directed learning is the notion that the learner takes control of his or her own learning (Merriam and Bierema, 2014).” According to the research done by Allen Tough in his book The Adult’s Learning Project, and cited by the Merriam and Bierema, 90% of adults in Tough’s study were engaged in a self-directed learning project and 70% of learning projects were planned by the adult themselves. “Subsequent studies have confirmed that upward…

“People don 't realize how a man 's whole life can be changed by one book” (Malcolm X). Books are beneficial in an individual’s vocabulary, memorization, and perspectives in life. In “On Being 17, Bright, and Unable to Read” by David Raymond, Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez, and “My Alma Mater” from The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X, all the authors struggled with something particular in literacy, but they all had different motives for improving their reading and writing. As seen…

What defines a person? Life has many ups and downs, positives and negatives, and unfortunately my early life had a few more negatives as opposed to positives. The biggest negative in my life was being bullied at a young age and the struggle to overcome it. Being bullied showed me that I can prove everyone wrong and no one person or persons opinion can or should define me and my future no matter the pain it caused. The early years were rough with minor name calling, but the real heavy hitters…

The problem of having corporations take over the public education space is so great that there is a group called “In the Public Interest” and they track such corporate involvement in public services. Michelle Davis, a specialist in educational technology, writes in her article about the various laws passed and actions taken by the corporations to gain money and she was able to obtain information from In the Public Interest. In the Public Interested looked into states such as Florida,…
