Prepare your child for college at the North Star Academy of Minnesota.

University

Training is one of the keys to the event, repeated gurus from around the world. But it is true that contemporary life leaves us less time at our disposal. The online masters are an excellent choice for those graduates who are already incorporated into the labour market or for those who prefer to manage your time with total freedom. In recent years the information and communications technology has given leaps and inserting virtually in every sphere of our lives. Education also has been lagging so it is now possible to find some materials or even whole programs that offered completely online. Of course, some people still are shown transfixed before this type of teaching, which is perfectly understandable since it’s a tough attitude toward change. However, the truth is that behind this fear only hides the ignorance since many of the limitations that possessed distance education today have been overcome thanks to the immediacy of the technology. Much more than an emerging solution in the popular imagination still survives the idea that online masters are a valid option only for those who have problems to go to University and receive the instructor-led course.

However, these programs are much more than an emerging solution, represent a new form of education where each student can follow their own learning pace. In addition, intrinsic to the masters online freedom and flexibility are an attached value cannot find in face-to-face programs, that often force us to move to other cities or to radically change our way of life. On the contrary, to follow an online program will continue working, implying that each theoretical knowledge can be immediately applied in practice giving rise to truly solid professional skills. A paradigm shift one of the main problems that are always pointed to the distance education was the lack of interaction between the students and the delay in feedback. However, with the speed of the Internet, these difficulties are exceeded. For example, today most of the online masters planned a few days a month to perform synchronous forums where discussion on certain topics. The teacher acts as a facilitator and students exposed their criteria and doubts, just as it happens in the classroom. Thus in education online also lives a cooperative learning. Finally, another of the advantages of the online masters is that as the entire contents of each of the courses is on the network, you can return to them whenever you need it without having to be constantly taking notes.

Education For All

Education for all World-wide the economic crisis at risk places the goals of UNESCO and therefore, the planet can walk stops backwards in the next years. Millions of poor children of the world run the risk to be outside of the banks of the schools in consequence of world-wide the financial crisis. To millions of children still without access to the education, the deceleration of the economic growth, added to the increase of the poverty and the pressures exerted on the public budgets of the countries, can compromise the progressos carried through in the scope of the education throughout the last decade. Unhappyly although the high investments, the quality of the education in Brazil still is low, mainly in basic education. Although the presented improvement in recent years, the index of repetncia in basic education is raised of Latin America it is expressivamente above average world-wide.

The high index of abandonment in the first years of education also feeds the fragility of the education in Brazil. About 13,8% of the Brazilians they release the studies in the first year of basic education. The country alone is the front of Nicaragua in Latin America. If the trends to confirm, millions of children and adolescents in next pertaining to school age will remain outside of the school in three years, being 54% approximately of the feminine sex. They will be necessary still more of ten million professors more in the world so that the universalizao of primary education is reached, this daqui more than the one decade. Although the efforts, few incentives had been satisfactory to reduce to the half the number of illiterate adults.

But if to think about the improvement of the access to the education, or same to become it economically accessible can revert the picture, perhaps. To assure that the children kept out of society they have easy access to an education of quality, offering stimulatons to the professors who work in agricultural regions and the disfavored urban zones. To integrate strategies of education and more general programs of combat to the marginalizao, they will be able to attenuate sufficiently these catastrophic data, perhaps thus, let us have a possibility. We will not know if not to try, we only know to the certainty that an education for all and of quality helps and very to an individual if to recognize and to be recognized in the society and this it is fact!

Popular Methods Of Learning Foreign Languages

Have been developed many methods to teach students foreign languages. The earliest methods were created on the basis of programs for the study of Latin and Greek (ie, dead languages), it is not surprising that they offer the learning process is limited to reading and translation. Grammatical-transferable (traditional) method This method originated in the late eighteenth century and finalize by mid-twentieth, received the title of the grammatical-conversion method. In accordance with this methodology, knowledge of the language – it means to own grammar and vocabulary. As for the texts, it usually is, so-called artificial texts which are not so important that a student will say, as important as he says, that is, the meaning is almost irrelevant. The traditional method of learning foreign languages now mercilessly criticized: Methodists believe that learn from it slowly and properly.

And the end result of training is usually equal to zero, while the 'victims' of grammatical techniques complain afterwards that, despite excellent grades in the course of training and knowledge of all grammatical rules, after some time they can recall only one or two phrases from the textbook. The traditional method of learning foreign languages – an ideal tool for creating a language barrier, because trainee does not express himself, begins to speak, but simply combines the memorized words, following certain rules. Nevertheless, until the late 50's grammar-pereovodnoy method was almost the only one using it taught almost everyone. But already in the mid-50's began to emerge for alternative methods of teaching foreign languages.

The Current Perspectives Of The Didactics:

INTRODUCTION. At least in last the thirty years it is undisputed to affirm that practical the pedagogical ones do not come passing for a series of transformations with the end to consider condizentes methods to a entendvel application of the knowledge acquired throughout the formation of the professional of the education. Therefore, the present work searchs to extend this quarrel leaving of the general conceptions on the didactics and its evolution in constant relation with the possibly renewed example of one practical one so that this proposal if becomes more concrete those that are in the current process of reformularization of the education? it saw didactics. The principle, the points that deal with the conceptions tend if to relate with the description and the consequent evolution of the didactics for the fact standes out to have it of old conceptions that are not in accordance with the context condizente. Therefore, when you consider yourself to tell such description, one sees that the same it brings information that are in accordance with such perspectives, evolution this that has left of century XVII arriving until the current days. What it cannot mean that was arrived at an end point, since the context is something cambiante all the time. The spite of this, the citation of applied pedagogical practical one to a group of pupils of the sixth year of Basic Ensino of the College of Application of the city of Cataguases, located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is something that, without embargo, goes of meeting with the current conceptions of the didactics of the world after-modern. This proposal aims at to present as if scientific technique can work with a language and leaving of an introductory activity that demands a bigger participation, concentration and reasoning of the pupils, in general way. Not obstante, it is through this structure that then mentioned present work it searchs to make a clear and objective presentation of the form under which if structure the current perspectives of the didactics in the last times.

Social Assistant

The pupil passes to be respected, to be heard, to be understood in its totality as individual. This happens because the organization of the school is another one, is alternative. In partnership with the Social Assistant, the teacher goes discovering the problems of personal order that affected the life of this pupil (and not they were few). Only with the support of this school that the pupil at last obtains to alfabetizar itself. She had a work of partnership between professor, social assistant and the other pupils so that the alfabetizao process had success. The partnership idea that we cite at the beginning of the work, was extended here, and observes a joint effort of all the school in the promotion of this pupil. An example to be followed, adopted for all the schools, in our opinion.

Another question presented in the film that deserves our consideration is related the position of the teacher in classroom. The method that it uses to motivate its pupils really to learn and not only to take off the diploma. It transforms the interesting learning into something, not plastered. It suggests that the pupils learn to write a daily one, something that says regarding them. In such a way the teacher breaches with ' ' beab' ' transforms concrete, next and useful the alfabetizao into something for them. Ratifying our consideraes you initiate on alfabetizao without prescription. The teacher also one revealed untiring with regard to the learning of the pupils, therefore it talked separately with the protagonist of the film to understand more than close its difficulties, its limitations.

functioned. From this moment the main personage becomes more confident and starts to believe same it. He motivates yourself for the initial motivation of the teacher who was of meeting it. A partnership ' ' al' ' it was established facilitating all the learning process.

Tutoring

With the introduction of new methods of testing pupils' knowledge, as well as for the entrance exams, did not abate the controversy over whether or not a school teacher, using the curriculum to prepare students for tests so that they do not have additional services repeaters or courses. s. This entailed a series of questions about coaching in high school, in particular, discussed the work of teachers, writers control, credentials, and even dissertations for students. After the law on tutoring, turned exclusively against illegal activities and specialized training schools operating without a license or not entering into contracts with students, teachers and ordinary sighed quietly. A recent study, however, show that to get into a decent school student does not have enough school curriculum, it needs to go beyond its scope and approach the institute needs. The adopted law also threatens to raise the costs of tuition, which is also connected with the demand for this type of service due to time approximation tests.

Applicants are focused precisely on private tutors. State Duma promised to take no action in the direction of private traders, since tutors who work in this way, work for the sake of knowledge. The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky, but also distinguished between Moscow and the provincial teacher. Arguing that the provincial, working in several high schools for 10 thousand, on average, while the Muscovite for 100 thousand, that's what the latest revenue and costs legalized. Zhirinovsky protects provincial teachers barely make ends meet with the salary from 2-3 companies and tutoring, and punishes the capital of teachers who earn the same way, namely, writing term papers on order, but for the fact that their income is higher. Does it mean that such thinking is the emergence of new ideas about the bill, relating to all private and teachers. But the students themselves presented with a class, obtained in the classroom with tutors on a higher level.
