Schools as Organisations. Summarise entitlement and provision for early years education.

Schools as Organisations Summarise entitlement and provision for early year’s education. Since 2004 all children in the UK aged three and four years old have been entitled to free places at nursery or another preschool setting (including child-minders). From 1st September 2010 the Government extended these hours from 12.5 to 15 hours for up to 38 weeks of the year. The free entitlement provides universal access to early childhood education and care, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to benefit from early years education. The extended hours also supports parents who wish to go back to work or develop their careers through further education by providing affordable day care. (Ref www.direct.gov.uk) Almost 1,000 two-year-olds are to benefit from free childcare a year early, after it was decided to bring forward trials in 10 areas in England to this September 2012 the government has announced. They unveiled the changes to introduce greater flexibility to allow more parents to take advantage of the scheme – already used by more than 800,000 three- and four-year-olds. It is intended that 150,000 of the most disadvantaged two-year-olds will receive up to 15 hours a week of free preschool education from September 2013, rising to 260,000 in 2014. (Ref www.guardian.co.uk) There are different types of childcare options available for 0-5 year olds, these include:

The Nature of Science and its Subject Application

The Nature of Science and its Subject Application An aspect of British school science education in practice Focus of Essay: How is science currently presented in schools at GCSE level (14-16) and how does this group of students perceive science as it is taught? Part 1 - Introduction This essay intends to focus upon how science is presented in schools at GCSE level (14-16) and how this group of students perceives science as it is taught. The main focus will be on comparing and contrasting literature on the subject and considering the methodology used to collect the data therein. The limitations of the information gathered will be analysed as well as the ethical considerations that the authors had to take. Science is meant to be an objective subject. However, due to human error, this is not always possible as all information and viewpoints tend to have bias. For example, the National Curriculum suggests there are two types of viewpoints: one is based on heroes or individual stories; the other is based upon circumstances and events. There are several teaching techniques used in schools today, such as giving pupils time to think, using stories in science, being aware of anthropocentric views, distinguishing scientific 'truth' from other truths, using mini plenaries as well as pupil-speak relevant to age, counting down to the end of activities and splitting groups by

Willingness to Participate: Validating Menzel & Carrel (1999).

RUNNING HEAD: WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE Willingness to Participate: Validating Menzel & Carrel (1999) Lin Marklin Shannon Wonnacott Western Michigan University Communication 670 1 April 2002 Abstract Study investigates relationship between student willingness to talk and teacher immediacy behaviors via partial study replication (Menzel & Carrell, 1999). The relationship between perceived instructor gender and student speech and the relationship between perceived instructor gender and instructor immediacy are also investigated by adding variable of perceived teacher gender. This is conceptualized as sex-role type (masculine, feminine, and androgynous) (Bem, 1974) and student-reported via shortened Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) (Wheeless & Dierks-Stewart, 1981). Instructor immediacy behaviors were positively related to student willingness to talk, complimenting previous research (Menzel & Carrell, 1999). Student willingness to talk did not vary significantly as a function of perceived instructor gender. There was no significant relationship between perceived instructor gender and instructor immediacy behaviors. Introduction As educators, we are always looking for ways to increase the amount of learning that takes place in the classroom. Researchers who focus on the educational sphere are interested in what students learn, how students learn, and what educators learn

Dubai is among one of the most favourable places to recruit students because of its strong emphasis on foreign education as a way to fuel its growing nation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY International student recruitment is a must to breathe new life into university campuses. Foreign students bring diversity and a global perspective to education, which reflects the changing business world. Dubai is among one of the most favourable places to recruit students because of its strong emphasis on foreign education as a way to fuel its growing nation. When targeting Dubai, it is important to consider the relationship between nationals and non-nationals as well as gender differences resulting from the culture and religion. Recruitment efforts have become increasingly difficult due to fierce competition from the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Unlike Canada, these countries have government funding and support, which allow them to provide scholarships targeted specifically to the UAE, university fairs and tours, customized service and rapid application processing. Although JMSB's AACSB accreditation, low teacher/student ration, and strong presence in the Middle-Eastern community make it a strong contender on the world stage, JMSB faces several problems in communicating these advantages. The main problems, which have been identified in Concordia's past and current recruitment efforts include the lack of communication with educational advisors in Dubai, difficulty in providing information to students in a timely manner, lack of

Teachers - How does the character of Nixon change during the course of the play and how can this be communicated to the audience through drama?

How does the character of Nixon change during the course of the play and how can this be communicated to the audience through drama? Introduction The play that I am going to write about in this essay is called 'Teachers'. Teechers is fast moving, intensive and highly entertaining. Teechers vigorously evokes life at a modern comprehensive. The play is based upon thee fifth-formers who exuberantly sketch the new drama teacher's progress through two terms of recalcitrant classes, cynical colleagues and obstructive caretakers. Teechers was written by a well-known Yorkshire man called John Godber. John Godber was born is 1956, in Upton, West Yorkshire; the son and grandson of miners. John Godber trained as a teacher of drama at Bretton Hall College. John Godber started writing stories for Radio Sheffield at the age of 16. He worked as a teacher for five years, whilst doing postgraduate work in drama at the University of Leeds. Godber became the Artistic Director of the Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1984. His association with the company is an expression of his commitment to serious theatre and also to a theatre outside London. His plays are social comedies and are mostly concerned with what he has 'working class leisure activities'. Prior to Godbers appointment as Artistic Director of Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1984, he was Head of Drama at Minsthorpe High School, the school

Leadership and Management in Early Years Education.

Leadership and Management assignment An effective leader is critically important to motivate the team and provide authority. A leader will also provide strategic drive and vision along with breadth of vision to ensure that all aspects of interagency teamwork are delivered. Leaders with graduate level qualifications make a difference: “...the evidence that demonstrates that having a trained teacher as a leader/manager and a good proportion of trained teachers on staff are key indicators of quality.” (ELEYS, 2006) pedagogy? Intensive support to managers pays off: “Providing leadership and management training and intensive mentoring that supported the accreditation process led to significant improvements in quality (Eisenberg and Rafanello, 1998).” (cited in Mooney, The Effectiveness of Quality Improvement Programmes for Early Childhood Education and Childcare, NCB, 2007) leadership definition is reported in the literature to be problematic (Osgood, 2004; Rodd, 2005) in terms of leadership in the early years due to the diversity of this workforce making a particularly complex field. The early years workforce comprises a wide range of personnel, each with different experience, training and qualifications as Solly (2003) highlights the number of young and inexperienced staff working in the sector and emphasises that the specific leadership context is
