There is a growing body of literature that recognises the importance of coaching and mentoring (C&M) in a workplace. For example, the UK Home Office spent 10 million per annum on mentoring for young offenders (Garvey, 2011). Essentially, the nature of coaching and mentoring can be said to be similar. Connor and Pokora (2012) affirms that both activities share the many of the same practices, applications and values. As a result, defining and differentiating them can be difficult as “we are in the…

This city is in between low income and middle income families the average income is about 35,000 whereas the state as Kansas income is around 50,000 according to the data city. As not only can you tell that Arkansas City is low income…

The article I have chosen is titled, “The Critical Importance of Retrieval for Learning,” with the study conducted and written by, Jeffrey D. Karpicke and Henry L. Roediger III. It has been said that learning is considered complete if a student can provide the correct answer to a question. The basic idea of the experiment was to have students learn foreign vocabulary words through the process of repeated study-test trials. The goals of their conducted study were one, to examine the…

Although having full day kindergarten may be too costly from people’s pockets who may not have children or a need for the full day kindergarten program, in the end it’s a positive investment for Ontario schooling to make. “In September 2010, the Ontario government began phasing in full-day kindergarten for four- and five-year-olds. In the first year, nearly 600 schools offered full-day kindergarten, with the number of schools increasing every year.” (Full day kindergarten” 2013) Full day…

1) Review your notes/answers from the midterm exam. Below, list and explain the 10 most important takeaways for you from reading these two articles. (10 pts) My 10 most important takeaways from the readings are the following: 1-6 Ecology of the gym The overall interaction between the vectors, when they match and when they differ The best way to describe the difference between the primary and secondary vector is comparing them to an orchestra performance; with the primary vector as the…

The study area, as identified in assignment one, is VCE computing unit 1, learning outcome 3, which emphasises heavily on the design and development stages of the PSM. In order to teach this, a teacher needs to have a strong grasp of the design principles, web development and project management. The learning areas I have identified are connected to the learning requirements of my recent placement: The immediate areas that I need to learn and update are highlighted (in red) in the curriculum map,…

The way we teach and the way we learn has long been debated and researched. From the development of the IQ test and of SATs our focus has been on assessing intelligence, but it raises the question of what intelligence actually is and what methods of teaching best develop and extend a child’s learning. Subjects cannot truly be taught in isolation, they need to blend and merge as pupils question and connect ideas and thoughts together. Neither can they be taught effectively within the confines of…

would not have gone. In this case an indifference curve was created. In theory consumer optimal choice is represented as the differential curve and the budget constraint points to the choice IF our income had increased by 100%+, we would have gone to the Superbowl and we would have gone on the trip to Mexico! In this case the Utility-Maximizing Solution comes into play. It assumes that each consumer seeks the highest indifference curve possible. “The budget line gives the combinations…

of ions over 72 hours, it was estimated that the combined dissolution of Ni and Co would be around 384μM (272μM for Ni and 112μM for Co) for 200 mg/L of NMC. The experimental data from Trial 1 were discarded due to error in the initial calibration curves. Jan Dolezal’s paper suggested that the sugar to NMC ratio varied between 0.5:1 and 2:1. However, in Trial 2, a wider range of ratios were chosen to explore the effect of small particles. A positive control was made with the expected Ni and Co…

Introduction Participating in university placement at Lizard Island was both a challenging and rewarding experience. I initially hoped to gain new skills and assist clients in clinical complex cases. But during the four-week placement program I gained an extraordinary amount of experience in understanding and participating in team work processes during an emotionally raw time. Throughout my university education reflective practice has been emphasised as a highly effective tool and an integral…
