Extractions: Date Submitted: Abstract: Enterprising teaching and learning will require or encourage students, not simply to 'learn enterprise', but to use their enterprise in learning any part of the curriculum. A less enterprising approach, on the other hand, will 'rob' them of the chance to use their initiative, be resourceful, make decisions, solve problems, look for opportunities and take risks in the way they learn. These less enterprising approaches can, in fact, permanently 'de-enterprise' students. The more enterprising approaches will empower them as self-starting learners for life.

These less enterprising approaches can, in fact, permanently 'de-enterprise' students. The more enterprising approaches will empower them as self-starting learners for life Generally, learning which is more enterprising draws on the great progressive traditions of education and involves students taking responsibility for learning, learning first-hand rather than second-hand, learning with and from one another, and learning to theorise.

Extractions: Chandralekha Singhs students apply physics to everyday experience C handralekha Singh, Physics and Astronomy, is intensely interested in her teaching so much so that she does research in physics education, continually developing new activities. Driven by a passion for her field and a concern for students, her teaching goal is to enable students to use basic scientific principles flexibly to predict and explain diverse physical phenomena in everyday experience. In this way she hopes they can become good problem solvers and independent learners. Another strategy Singh uses is group problem solving or, as she identifies it, GPS: I have found that students can learn so much from one another. They understand one anothers language and identify one anothers difficulties more easily than an instructor can. In fact, they are often struggling with similar concepts or even the same concept. In GPS, I have several students work together on problems that are more challenging and stimulating than those found in the text. In conjunction with GPS, under a grant from the Provosts Avisory Council on Instructional Excellence (ACIE), Singh is creating videos for teaching students effective problem-solving strategies.

Read and respond to the ideas presented as they relate to your own teaching practices. Primary reading teachers have two challenges: designing a classroom environment that displays print purposefully and creating specific routines for using the environment to develop literacy skills. Read the following statement from Dr. Paratore and the passage from Organizing and Managing a Language Arts Block by Leslie Mandel Morrow. Consider how these ideas relate to how you establish literacy routines in the classroom. The routines teachers set up on the first day, the second day, the third day of school are important in the achievement children show in June. Jeanne R. Paratore

Extractions: Dominican University of California's Bachelor of Arts in International Management uniquely prepares students for leadership roles in global organizations. This uniqueness stems from the distinct strengths of both the program design and the faculty scholars who teach the major. Acknowledging that virtually all organizations must now function to at least some degree in the global arena, the program takes an integrative approach to international management rather than treating it as a stand-alone discipline. From the first prerequisite to the final capstone, all courses in the major present theory and application from a global perspective. And because the faculty scholars and practitioners who teach the program come from both business and international studies backgrounds, students are assured of a balanced exposure to multiple viewpoints across their classroom experiences. Further supporting the uniqueness of the B.A. in International Management is the programs exceptional degree of flexibility, which supports the maximum expression of students individual interests including study abroad. An additional benefit of the flexible curriculum is that students transferring from other accredited institutions can typically complete the B.A. in International Management in two years. Students can choose from four program options in addition to International Management without a concentration: B.A. in International Management with a concentration in Finance.

Extractions: Work-Based Learning In the workplace, there are no textbooks with questions to be answered at the back of each chapter. Instead, workers learn by doing, acquiring knowledge as necessary to complete projects and improving their skills through daily use. If we were to align schools with modern high-performance workplaces, teaching arrangements would consist of flexible teams of teachers guiding student workers who were empowered to find solutions, not several independent "bosses" shuffling passive learners according to 45-minute periods. Evaluations would focus on developing students' critical-thinking, problem-solving, communications, and interpersonal skills, rather than on their ability to memorize and regurgitate information. School-to-Work systems provide the missing link between students' school years and their lifetimes as adult workers. Students in School-to-Work: Learn about their job possibilities by "shadowing" existing workers in different departments and discussing work and life with adult mentors; Experience the workplace environment first-hand through volunteer work, internships, and paid work experiences;

Extractions: Support Offered to Students Each student is allocated to an Advisor of Studies upon arrival at the University. MTheol students are allocated to an Advisor of Studies in the Faculty of Divinity. MA students are allocated to an Advisor of Studies in the Faculty of Arts. Advisor(s) in the Faculty of Divinity help students to matriculate at the start of each year, and to sort out academic problems that arise during the course of the year. They also give advice about where students can gain further assistance about various welfare matters. Students may book an appointment to meet with an Advisor via the College Office. The transition from school to university is considerable and students often need help to develop their study skills. At St Mary's we provide all undergraduate students with training in study skills, with the aim of enabling them to achieve their full potential at each stage of their career. (This is in addition to the feedback which students receive on their essays and class presentations, from members of staff who teach them.) The following study-skills training takes place in the School: First-level students. There are four hours of tutorials which cover: how to write an essay; grammar; punctuation; effective reading; note-taking; examination technique; and time-management. All students are given a booklet 'Essay Writing' at registration, and a further handout on 'Exam Techniques' is issued during the course.

Extractions: Increasing Teaching Time You may have less time to teach than you think. Lunch, recess, breaks, down-time between lessons and activities, moving from one classroom to another, interruptions, and other periods of non-instructional time account for at least 27 percent of an elementary school day. In many classrooms, that figure climbs beyond 40 percent. Incredible as those statistics may sound, they have been confirmed by separate studies at the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development, and the former Institute for Research on Teaching at Michigan State University. Sure, lunch, recess, and restroom breaks are important. But too much teaching time is lost. Add to that the time that slips away when students stare out the window or are otherwise disengaged during instruction, and you get the point. Here are some ways beginners and veterans alike can substantially increase teaching time: Decrease the time allotted for breaks and social activities.

Why do some students apply little or no effort to school tasks while they commit considerable time and effort to demanding, creative activities outside of school? These behaviors are typical of some students who are simultaneously gifted and learning disabled. For many people, however, the terms learning disabilities and giftedness are at opposite ends of a learning continuum. In some states, because of funding regulations, a student may be identified and assisted with either learning disabilities or giftedness, but not both. WHO ARE THE LEARNING DISABLED/GIFTED?

Assessment. Assessment is conducted in two areas. First, the specific problems that the student is having in his/her classes must be identified. This involves analysis of the students grades on tests and assignments in each class. Second, the Learning Toolbox Questionnaire is used to identify the specific problems that the student thinks s/he is having. This questionnaire includes checklists of items involving problems in each of the following eight areas: organization, test taking, study skills, note taking, reading, writing, math, and advanced thinking skills.

Extractions: Technology's Impact on Learning From a Department of Education 1995 forum, some panelists contended that rather than debating the connections between technology-based instruction and test scores, schools should focus on the most obvious and compelling reason form implementing technology-namely, that students need strong technology skills to succeed in the world of work. This section will provide you with the impact technology has on learning. You can find the following in this section: ED Report The Costs and Effectiveness of Educational Technology "We know now - based on decades of use in schools, on findings of hundreds of research studies, and on the everyday experiences of educators, students, and their families - that, properly used, technology can enhance the achievement of all students, increase families’ involvement in their children’s schooling, improve teachers’ skills and knowledge, and improve school administration and management."

Learning Disabilities OnLine: LD In-Depth: Behavior Management guided practice with feedback, and independent practice can be remediated using behaviormanagement techniques, either may have difficulty either learning a new http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/social_skills/behavior_management.html
Extractions: Fall 1995 When someone mentions behavior management Students with LD may exhibit social skill deficits that are either skill-based or performance-based. In other words, either the skill may not be in the student's repertoire or the student may have acquired the skill but it is not performed at an acceptable level. Effective intervention requires identification and remediation of the specific type of deficit exhibited by the student. This article will delineate the differences between skill-based and performance-based social skills deficits and present intervention approaches in each area. Skill-Based Deficits A skill-based deficit exists when a student has not learned how to perform a given behavior. For example, a student who has not learned to do long division could be said to have a long division skill deficit. Similarly, a student who hasn't mastered the skill of greeting others appropriately may have a skill deficit in that area. Few parents or teachers would punish a student for not knowing how to do long division. Unfortunately, however, we sometimes become angry with students when they don't demonstrate the social skill we d desire them to display. Reprimands and loss of privileges are common reactions. A critical issue is whether the student actually possesses the desired skill. If not, it is unreasonable to demand that it occur or scold the student if it doesn't. Our anger and punishment can only add to the frustration of the student who knows he or she did something wrong, but has no clue as to how to fix it.
A Computer Lab Or Computers In The Classroom? approach is often easier to manage in the take responsibility for their own learning,but you the appropriate moment so they can become independent learners. http://members.shaw.ca/priscillatheroux/lab_or_classroom.htm
Extractions: Should we put the computers in the classroom or the computer lab? This is a common question and it really is a trick question. You would expect the answer to either be the lab or the classroom. The answer is not which one, but both. They are both useful for different purposes. So it is understandable that we often hear teachers who have a few computers in the classroom arguing for a computer lab and the teachers who only have access to a computer lab argue for a pod of computers in the classroom. Both setups have a legitimate use. However, I will argue that one of them is ultimately more useful than the other. Introducing a new concept or computer skill is most easily accomplished in the environment of a computer lab when you want students to follow directions and all work on the same thing at the same time. This can be made even more efficient if those students with higher computer skills are evenly spaced throughout the lab so that peer teaching can occur and competent students can assist struggling peers. However, this will not be (and should not be) the most common way of using computers. This approach addresses some of the required skills of the Processes for Productivity in the ICT Program of Studies. It does not begin to address the most important category:

Extractions: Most workplace professionals write documents in a fairly mature way. They typically write: How can instructors of business and professional writing prepare students for the relative freedom and independence of this kind of thinking and writing? Several years ago, I discovered the value of using the hybrid model to teach business and technical writing. Up to that time, while teaching in traditional classrooms, I wasn't able to simulate writing situations in workplace settings, or to expose students to the complexities of workplace writing. Sure, like many instructors, I tried innovative teaching methods such as routinely sending students out to "the real world" to conduct research or work on short-term service projects for actual clients. But my students still tended to work on projects with too much instructor oversight and supervision, to collaborate mostly in person with writers they knew well instead of collaborating from a distance with writers they barely knew, and to manage projects with regular instructor or peer input, instead of mostly on their own.

(The number of internet connections in the UK started falling recently). What does the academic community stand to gain or lose by investing teaching time in the use of the web? Our students are with us to learn science, and to learn either how to become professional scientists or how to become a professional in another area that uses similar principles. What has this to do with the web? This talk will attempt to address some of these issues by discussing the functions that can be achieved using the web and by the use of other IT based techniques. Students as Web Authors - The Exemplarchem project Henry Rzepa, Department of Chemistry, Imperial University Exemplarchem evolved from a taught course on Chemical information technology, in which we strove to teach students how to find, manage and present data. We soon discovered that the best way to capture their interest and motivate them was to ask them to do their course work and projects as (best practice) Web pages, and to take the very best of these and expose them on a wider stage.
