Below average literacy levels in secondary school are a major problem that must be solved in any learning environment. The Prestgate School report contains quantitative NAPLAN data that identifies poor literacy levels as a serious problem within the secondary school (year 7 in particular). As stated by Butterworth (2013), it is important that schools recognise issues revolving literacy levels early, as this can lead to greater problems later on. Such problems can include financial welfare, health, safety, education, income and everyday living. Therefore the area for improvement that I have selected from the Prestgate School report is improving literacy. The data within the report suggests that this is the most substantial issue within the school…
The Oxford dictionary defines technology as “machinery and devices developed from scientific knowledge” (Simpson & Weiner, 1989). Technology includes computers, projectors, smart boards and many other types of devices that you may have seen your teacher use in your classroom at one point in your life. The decision whether to integrate technology into secondary school classrooms has become a large issue as the rise of technology has become much more evident in today’s society. I had the…

It was basic to go to exercises remarkably since I was an understudy in secondary school since that is one of the ways I could improve myself to do well on preparing since when an understudy go to diversion exercises as a soccer ball, or any amusement can help the understudy to keep up physical and (related to the mind and brain) to be rapid and to have an average thought in class. There were diverse exercises…
A second reason a school certificate is pointless is that numerous present managers are willing to contract understudies with secondary school-level abilities. Be that as it may, bosses have found that a secondary school confirmation no more compares with secondary school level abilities. Managers even whine of secondary school graduates regularly being unskilled. "More than 40 percent of secondary school seniors need ninth-grade math aptitudes, and 60 percent need ninth-grade perusing…
Education has and always will be up for debate because society feels that every child should have the equal right to an education. Post-secondary school is becoming more than just an option, but part of the equal right to education. Our K-12 education system is no longer sufficient enough to obtain a substantial income. For a single person to acquire economic security, “It would take a minimum wage of $14.17 an hour” which is 2/3 what it costs for a family of four to survive (Berman). A 2011…
Secondary School Counselor From the list of jobs that we had, I picked a Secondary School Counselor. Some of you might wonder what a School counselor does.

You also might be wondering what educational requirements this job needs. This job requires at least a Bachelor's degree in college. A Bachelor’s degree takes four…

The change from high school to post-secondary education is a tremendous one. Many students that enter post-secondary college come to school thinking that the transition will be an easy one. They find out later that the adventure is much different from the one that they had just experienced. They soon find out that college costs are more expensive, have more academic challenges, and offer a more unique social setting than in high school. The first difference between high school and college…

debate of secondary school start times, which has both government organizations and students weighing in, is causing schools to question the effectiveness of their current start times. Proponents of a late start are arguing the mental benefits for students, while opponents discuss the problems that could arise for budgets and after-school activities. However, the amount of change that would need to occur in order to delay start times far outweighs the pros for a postponed beginning. Presenting a…
