Remedial education

could be given to better explain. From my observations these students in this class had a sense of ownership to learn English and to pass their proficiency exam, which I can understand in order to keep their scholarships and continue on with their education. I think due to the student’s engagement and classroom atmosphere there was a lot of student collaborative learning, either in teams competing against each other or working together in partners to complete a problem. I was very exciting to…

better use of time to skip it? I feel that more people would be better served if all of the easily offended masses were just told to grow a thicker skin. Ignore the minor offenses and spend more time actually doing something. Perhaps funding the educations of more students? Or finding ways to better educate those who desperately want to go to school, or attend a better school, but don’t qualify for scholarships to prestigious private…

Programming for underprepared students can based after two distinct models, Prerequisite Acquisition Model and the Concurrent Acquisition Model. Kozeracki (2005) describes the classical remedial education definition as the Prerequisite Acquisition Model. This model is simplistic; students enroll in college preparatory courses prior to enrolling in courses that would count toward their degree programs. This type of support emphasizes the negative stereotype, focusing on deficiencies in skills,…

The arts can have many positive effects on the brain and its development. There are many things that can be considered an art that are important in education. Such as, drawing, painting, dancing, poetry, plays and music, just to name a few. Each kind of art has its own individual benefits, but they also all have common ones as well. Unfortunately, the arts are a subject in school that doesn’t gain much…

American schools are failing to provide their children with an excellent education. The problem begins with the teacher union that fights to protect the jobs of all teachers. In this process, the union is also protecting the jobs of poor performing teachers. Tenure is a law that provides job security, despite of job performance. It can allow lazy teachers to remain in the classroom year after year. Teachers receive tenure after teaching for a certain amount of time. The time, however, varies…

many people say after high school, “I love learning, but I hate school.” Learning and understanding new concepts is something people strive to do throughout their lives but in a school environment where grades are the most important part of the education process, educators may choose to teach solely for their students to pass the test. This may sound efficient but instead leads to ineffective learning habits and a lack of critical thinking and deep understanding of concepts. I can distinctly…

students and lacks well-structured curriculums. Urban district generally struggle with having a multiple students in high poverty areas with a wide tax base. However there needs to be something implanted to ensure the variety in these students’ education opportunities. When trying to change problems of this caliber it is important to establish an expertise-orientated approach. This approach is one of the oldest approaches, which judge the quality of…

What are students ' plans after high school? Most students would respond to this question with, “I 'm going to college,” but is college worth it? That is the million dollar question. It seems like every job requires a college degree, but why? Why does someone who has spent $70,000 to go to a 4-year college has a better chance at getting a job, than someone who just has a high school diploma. There’s a saying that goes, “I would rather be my own tyrant than have someone else tyrannize me.”(Henry…

2007 estimated that up to 40 percent of new college students need at least one remedial course upon entering college. Clearly increasing the amount of homework students are given is not having the desired effect ("Students and Homework"). Moreover, some parents try to help their children with their homework. Though on Robinson and Harris's data, published in The Broken Compass: Parental Involvement With Children's Education, show that this won't help her score higher on standardized tests…
