Early Education Shape Shift by Joyce Hesselberth is an informative pre-school book that uses a vibrant design to highlight nine classic shapes (triangle, rectangle, circle, semicircle, oval, diamond, crescent, square, and trapezoid) and reinforce their identification. The book’s illustrations, done in digital paint and mixed media, are bright and playful, combining various lines and textures. Based on the contents of this picture book, I will develop two math activities for a group of six five-year-old preschoolers. The first activity I will create will be in the Block area. I will start by tracing several different shapes of blocks on a large sheet of paper using pens of different colors. I will then ask the students to try finding a block that matches the shape and color of the outlines. After the students have correctly matched the blocks to the sketches, I will help develop their block building skills by encouraging them to build towers but keep their foundation on the correct color blocks. The second activity I will create will be in the Sensory area. I will begin by mixing…
Reflection Paper; Effectives Teaching Profession Introduction The focus of the qualities of effectiveness in teaching is a whole round activity that does not only consider teachers’ dispositions but every person who seeks to bring to the classroom unique ideas, aspirations, motivation, and knowledge. Such people are considered to be teachers regardless of their professional alignment. However, various people, scholars, and researchers have brought different approaches of assessing effectiveness in teaching as reflected in this paper. Reflection to the chapters The mini lessons that I have conducted shows that my strength lies there. Among the behavior that justifies my effectiveness is integration of speaking, reading, and listening in just one lesson (Stronge, 2018). I find it convenient to start the lesson with reading so as to grasp the attention of the learners and assess their ability to comprehend the content. Listening being the second helps in evaluating their comprehension and coherence in the establishing the content of the topic (Stronge, 2018). Speaking comes last after thorough evaluation of what learners require to facilitate grasping of the topic’s content. This also enables…
the American Dream PART A Since the end of the Second World War in 1945, the American Dream became one of the greatest phenomena in the world (Callahan 250). The United States was eager to begin its economic, military, technological, and diplomatic growth into a superpower. Additionally, the war had attracted many bright scientists, entrepreneurs, and skilled immigrants into the democratic country. Therefore, the United States assumed relative peace for the next six decades resulting in it becoming the global superpower and experiencing unprecedented growth in wealth, technology, and social development. Such growth is part of what characterized the dream as its democratic systems fuelled by capitalism and hard work pays ethos saw many Americans become successful. Unfortunately, not all the American society enjoyed these fruits of the American Dream. African Americans had suffered through slavery for three centuries prior to World War One. Even after the abolition of slavery, they still suffered racial prejudice especially in the southern parts such as Texas and South Carolina. Although they were entitled to equal education and military opportunities, finding employment afterwards became…
Bilateral Investment Treaties Introduction During the 1990s, one of the quickest developing zones of worldwide law rose out of the sensational multiplication of reciprocal venture arrangements (bilateral investment treaties). More than 3,000 of such bargains are in presence today, with pretty much every State on the planet a gathering to at any rate one bilateral investment treaties. Regardless of which states arrange bilateral investment treaties, arrangements of these settlements are amazingly uniform. By and large, they are focused on an equal assurance and advancement of the venture (Subedi, 2016 p.107). As a result of this went with the way that there is yet, no single complete worldwide bargain to manage the remote venture. Bilateral investment treaties have become the most predominant global vehicle through which outside enterprise is directed. Incomprehensibly, regardless of the enormous and expanding number of bilateral investment treaties finished up, there are indications of developing clumsiness with the present bilateral investment treaties system. In the general population banter about bilateral investment treaties, concerns have been communicated about the potential constraints of the privilege of host states to…
formal and informal Education Education is the process of receiving or giving instructions in an organized way, especially in institutions. There are two types of education, formal and informal(Broudy, 6). Formal education involves a classroom and a group of students learning the same things from a trained person. Informal education is passed down outside the classroom and can take place anywhere, even at home; it is passed down the generations. Education should be administered to every person because it is critical information for human survival; it unites people, and it updates individuals on the current challenges. Formal education unites individuals of the same age group in institutions such as colleges and universities (Hossain, 15). This has promoted cultural diversity all over the world, increasing productivity as different individuals from different races and communities can exchange and share their ideas. Formal education keeps the generations updated on the current challenges and ways of solving them or prevention measures. Medicine students learn about rising diseases such as coronavirus. This helps to carry out protective measures for future purposes. Informal education does not…

How teachers take part in engaging and encouraging diversity in a classroom Classroom diversity is very much essentials in education setup hence the need to cultivate it due to social and academic advantages. Several strategies are used by teachers to encourage diversity in schools, as discussed in the following paragraphs. Firstly, through the examination of teaching materials. This involves identification of the speaking voices in the classroom, for example, in social sciences and humanities, materials for teaching may mostly be restricted to white, western, and middle-class narratives. Authors of color should teach literature. The missing voices can be identified by examination of descriptions such as examination of how civil rights interact with immigration, gender equality, and the narratives of the American people. Additionally, the diversity of ideas builds a productive environment that enables the evolvement of ideas into a more and new refined style. The pedagogical strategy facilitates student’s appreciation and valuing of all diverse forms and enrichment of diversity to learning. Other projects applied to encourage diversity in the classroom include; ending homelessness using the first-grade rally. That will…
case study concerning cardiovascular and respiratory disease processes Thank you for your participation in this week’s case study concerning cardiovascular and respiratory disease processes. The case study assigned to you dealt with the identification of cardiovascular anomalies within the pediatric group. The patient in the case study has some concerning findings regarding the physical examination, which shows that the patient has a result of a grade III/IV systolic ejection murmur linked with HPI of reduced feeding at night but without weight decline. Although the appearance of murmurs in infants can be a common incident. Not to mention, most pediatric murmurs are harmless and have no significant adverse effect on the functionality of the cardiovascular system (Etoom & Ratnapalan, 2014). Additionally, the group of patients with grade II murmurs overall condition of life often have no negative influence on health, and in many cases, the presence of the murmur goes as the child grows older without leaving any long-term issues (Sackey, 2016) However, the patient in case study 6 has a higher graded murmur based on the Levine grading scale that…
Strategies Used In Multicultural Classroom Introduction Multicultural education is generally a concept of the education system that is built on the ideals of equality, freedom, justice, and human dignity that are provided in the declaration of human rights and also adopted by the United Nations (Taehee, 2016). It refers to the education that incorporates traditions, histories, values, and beliefs of people from different cultural backgrounds. It’s, therefore, a kind of education system that recognizes various roles that a school can play in developing and improving the values and attitudes that are important to establish oneself in this independent world (Taehee, 2016). It generally challenges all forms of discrimination within the society and the school by promoting the democratic principles of social justice and equality in the community. Student diversity in schools helps to evolve coexistence among peers from different cultures, with better perspectives in the international field; However, there are differences in understanding cultures with some incompatibilities that make it challenging to understand methods that take students to a high level of internship, especially with the general respect of those…
