Dont Misunderstand the Importance of Leadership Development to YOU - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Don’t Misunderstand the Importance of Leadership Development to YOU - Introvert Whisperer Don’t Misunderstand the Importance of Leadership Development to YOU? I have heard people equate Leadership with management or being in charge.   It’s understandable, as those things would be best done if leadership skills co-existed with those positions. Yet, Leadership abilities are skills that aren’t just for specific jobs.   Leadership skills or characteristics are important capabilities both in life endeavors as well as career. Let’s look at the reasons are that make Leadership skills important: #1 â€" Rarity â€" Yes, despite the ability to develop and demonstrate Leadership traits, very few people do.   When something is rare, it’s also valuable to others. #2 â€" It’s what everyone wants â€" Employers/business owners/managers are really eager to have people work for them that possess leadership skills.   It takes the burden off of them when someone will “step up” and take care of things without all the oversight. #3- Situations require it â€" Most situations need leadership.   You need leadership in the family, neighborhood, and religious groups, hobby groups and certainly in the workplace.   The problem is, there isn’t enough of it in all of those places. #4 â€" You get rewarded for it â€" When you get rewarded because of your leadership in your job, you get paid more.   Isn’t that important? #5 â€" Life work will go better â€" When good Leadership is present, the function and productivity of everyone go up.   You eliminate wasted time and effort.   Everyone will be more content and motivated. Leadership skills have a broad application that many people don’t always recognize.   My hope is that this will perk you up or adjust your thinking that this may be the very thing you’ve been looking for to help you get the success you deserve. Do you know what your next career step is?   Many people don’t.

Summer Algebra Before School Start

Summer Algebra Before School Start Taking a full course in the summer is tedious work. But you did take an algebra community college course? Congratulations! If not then you probably facing the prospect of taking algebra this fall season. In any case the articles, video and tutors presented in this newsletter provide valuable resources to ace that algebra class and reduce the stress levels of your next math test. Just one tip for self-studying algebra during the summer: Divide the number of text book chapters by the days left this summer. The result is the number of chapters per day required to work on. For example, if you start today August 8th and want to end on August 23 you got 15 days left. A text book of 22 chapters demands you to study 2 chapters per day precisely, excluding the weekend days. In other words 15 days 4 weekend days = 11 and 22/11 = 2. Neat, we applied algebra to make our studying schedule more manageable.

Home schooling regulations - Tutor Hunt Blog

Home schooling regulations Home schooling ? regulations may soon be tightened Home schooling ? regulations may soon be tightenedSchoolsHome schooling, or home education as it is actually termed in the UK, simply means a child receives all their education at home, either from tutors or (more likely) parents/carers. The choice to provide home education rests with the parents or guardians - no school can mandate that a child be educated at home, nor can the child themselves insist they do. The headteacher of the school does have the power to prevent a child being home educated, but this is a rare occurrence; the most likely scenario for a school refusing to cooperate is when the parents wish for their child to attend some classes at school, while receiving the majority of their education at home. Section 7 of The Education Act of 1996 lays down a number of clear points regarding the parent/carer`s legal responsibility should they choose to home school their child, along with some helpful guidelines: Parents are not required to be qualified teachers.While their child is not required to strictly adhere to the national curriculum, or take standardised tests, the parent/carers are required by law to ensure their child receives `full-time education suitable to their age, ability and aptitude and to any special educational needs your child may have.`Permission isn`t required from the school or education authority, but these institutions must be informed that the child will be homeschooled.Regular school hours, along with holidays and term times do not have to be adhered to.Fixed timetables are not needed, nor are formal lessons (which start at a certain time, and are of a certain duration) mandatory.There will be no funds provided for parents/carers who choose to provide home education for their child.The local EA (education authority) may be able to provide learning material and guidance throughout the year, and may also visit annually to check your child`s progress and offer advice. Before conducting research for this article I believed that obtaining permission for your child to be homeschooled was an extremely difficult process, and one that was very likely to be vetoed by your school or education authority. In fact any parent or carer can request that their child be homeschooled, and it is incredibly unlikely that permission will be refused. I also believed that home educated children were mandated to adhere to the national curriculum, and were likewise obliged to take the same exams as their school educated peers. This is apparently not the case - as the second bullet point above shows. One of the most common reasons for a child to be home educated is because of bullying at school. The only home educated child amongst my peer group had indeed been taken out of the school system because of excessive bullying, which teachers had done little to attenuate, much to the chagrin of his parents, who decided that he would learn more (and be safer) at home. Another demographic of home educated children are those with special needs: children with autism or ADHD may find they are not receiving the specific help they need at school, and their parents may decide that teaching them at home is the best option. Support for children with special needs has long been a problem, and it was announced by the government earlier this year that 215 million would be allocated to address this issue. The incidence of children with special needs being home educated is rising: over the last five years the numbers have grown by an astonishing 57% across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In England the rise has been highest, with numbers up 64% compared to half a decade ago. A germane piece of news is that the government plans to impose stricter guidelines on home educated children. Only last week (24th November) school system minister Lord Agnew, speaking in the House of Lords, said that the Department for Education would be strengthening the guidance on local authorities and parents. The Department for Education has said this guidance will `help parents understand their responsibilities in delivering home education and make sure local authorities are clear on the action they can take`. This potentially drastic shake up of the home schooling system may have precipitated out of the Birmingham `trojan horse scandal.` Colin Diamond, head of education at Birmingham City Council, has expressed concern about children being isolated from their peer group: `The biggest risks in terms of exposure to any form of non-mainstream societal values is... if you are at home, because you are not part of the social group`. The government will soon be publishing a draft paper, outlining any changes to the home schooling system. It may include regular compulsory visits by education officials, and the insistence that children adhere to the national curriculum, and participate in the assessments and coursework, as they would if they were being educated at school. 2 years ago0Add a Comment

Top 10 Reasons to Try Summer Enrichment Programs

Top 10 Reasons to Try Summer Enrichment Programs Ahh, summer. The time of rest, relaxation, and hot weather. Not so hot during the summer as it turns out? Remembering all those valuable lessons from the past school year. Many studies have shown that students’ retention decreases significantly during the summer months, and there’s also evidence that once the new school year starts students have a hard time regaining their momentum. It takes on average two to three months for students to mentally adjust to being back in an academic mindset and recover the material that they learned the previous school year. It takes longer for students to be able to move forward with the curriculum, which may set them back or put them at a disadvantage for the following school year. Summer enrichment programs help keep the mind active and reduce the risk of a lower retention rate throughout the summer months.Check out our top ten reasons to enter your child in a one-on-one Summer Enrichment Program!1- Knowledge RetentionMaking a series of appoint ments with a tutor for students sets them up for success in the future. Continuing to work on academics, even for only a few hours a week decreases the chances that students will forget the material from the past school year. Not only will they have a better chance to retain the material from the past school year, but they’ll also be better equipped for the year to come!2- FocusThe homework that tutors will give your child will help them to focus on one area of study for a short time every day. While this may not seem like a lot- trust us, a little bit can go a long way when it comes to keeping up that academic momentum. Practicing focus increases the retention of all material learned in the past school year.3- Summarizing LessonsFollowing a lesson, all good tutors ask their students to summarize what they just learned. Not only is this excellent practice in verbal communication, but it also allows students to remember information through more than one channel! By summarizing with a tutor, students will be able to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and be better prepared when the new school year starts.4- CustomizationIn summer enrichment programs, tutors can really focus on helping their students hone and develop their learning styles. There are all different types, and it’s not one size fits all. When students understand how they can best process and retain the knowledge presented to them in school will make them wildly more successful and encourage independent thinking and evaluation.5- Studying is fun!Good tutors are able to help their students rethink the concept of studying. It doesn’t have to be a chore all the time! By stimulating their curiosity, tutors encourage students to develop a genuine love for learning and thirst for knowledge. Summer is also a great time to really delve into subjects we find interesting! Focusing on a subject that a student finds fascinating can really help them learn how to best study for those subjects they may f ind not-so-interesting when the school year comes around. 6- Cultivation of safe spacesIn summer enrichment programs with one-on-one sessions, tutors are able to create a safe, nurturing environment where students and children can be open to understanding what their academic strengths and weaknesses are, which can make prepping for the upcoming school year much easier!7- Preparation for the new school yearStudents who take part in summer tutoring will be far more likely to not only remember the curriculum of the previous year but to have a head start for the following semester!8- ConsistencyMeeting a with a tutor every week for an hour or two can help students to keep a regular schedule, which not only makes the transition between summer and the school year much easier but fosters good organization and can help get priorities in order!9- AdaptationOne-on-one tutoring can be incredibly helpful when it comes to developing, personalizing, and customizing a student’s academic needs. S tudents will have an easier time adapting to their new classes, new teachers, and new curriculum when they have had a chance to learn what they are capable of and what needs more work.10- IndependenceTutoring can be instrumental for students developing a sense of independence and independent learning. In tutoring, students learn to study and figure things out on their own. No matter what the subject, teacher, or type of class they will be able to adjust, adapt and be successful.We’re looking forward to helping students of all ages keep up the good work during the summer as part of our Summer Enrichment Programs!
