Tertiary education

My philosophy of nursing education grows out of the value I place in being a nurse. I chose to be a nurse because nursing is a great profession that helps people who are in need. I believe that all men are created equal and unique, and everyone deserves respect and dignity in their medical care. Nursing is an honorable career, and for me, it is the best path towards achieving the goal of helping people. I chose to be a nurse educator for much the same reason. As a nurse with 15 years of…

The grading policy takes less stress off students and puts more stress on the faculty. Today, students just strive to make a 70 or above to pass and finish the course. The grading policy makes it easier for students to cheat or fail without any consequences. Students play the numbers in their head to see what grade they get so they don’t fail the course and have to go to summer school. Now, teachers run after their students to get them to turn in work so that they pass. However, the most effect…

exam to attend. This helps parents that don’t want to enroll their children in traditional public school or private school. There are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to knowing if a charter school is truly improving education. A charter school enhances the education opportunities and autonomy that is accessible in a particular community. Traditional public schools are run by a school district or organization, but charter schools are not part of it. Charter schools can select their own…

shape each other’s individual potential. Though without multiculturalism within schools many school districts will find it challenging to adapt a curriculum that best suites all individuals needs and therefore this would be a detrimental to our education system because we need to adapt for all diversities just not certain ones. All should prosper and none should be left…

In regards to children’s education, teachers play an important role. Since the No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in 2002, many people have been concern about children’s learning and academic achievement, especially parents and educators. In fact, teachers are always trapped in “teaching dilemmas” because each teaching method has different levels of pros and cons for students. Wiggins and McTighe (2005) suggested that for all of the choices that teachers have during a day of…

online has helped me reduce what I am spending on transportation by not traveling to campus on a regular basis. This is not the only savings students may see by taking advantage of online classes. Jamestown Community College (JCC) offers general education courses that students can take instead of the same course elsewhere at a higher cost per credit…

My Philosophy of Education My philosophy of education was not formed over years and years of profound, philosophical reflection but rather while sipping coffee, sitting in a rocking chair, and mulling over books as I watched the summer sun set behind the Blue Ridge Mountains. From Socrates to Joan Wink, the past four months have been spent vigilantly examining and growing from the philosophies of others. The tables have finally turned, and now without further adieu, it is my turn to share my…

2.3. The Perspectives on Teachers’ Extended Professionalism from School Teachers’ to University Teachers’ The current problem is, however, the existed theories and research studies mostly targeted schoolteachers, then what about it for university teachers? The distinctions between their academic essence and professional responsibilities paved the way for the assumption that their views toward the extended professionalism may also be different. The major differences of these two roles are that:…

professionals and agencies and when students should be referred to them for assistance” (Victorian Institute of Teaching 2014, p. 2). Furthermore, I will endeavour to make sure the class is continually developing into a “healthy environment for education”, as it is critical for educators to strive to improve students “mental, physical and social health” (Sharifi 2015, p. 1). Another practical step I will take in beginning this implementation is by modelling trust to the students. I will do this…

Life at Holy Cross College is a place in which everyone has an opportunity to learn from one another. Since I started at the college during 2013 (year 8) I have been blessed with seeing teachers and students helping one another to grow, inspire each other and become the best version of them self that they can be. As I witnessed this I knew that I wanted to inspire and help contribute to the growth of my fellow peers. I want to evoke others to strive for their personal best and I think it is…
