  • Basics of University Pedagogy Learning Diary
    Basics of University Pedagogy learning diary Lam Huynh March 2019 1 Becoming a teacher From the first seminar, I learned about the purpose of this course are 1) pro- viding a guideline to become a better teacher and 2) our University of Oulu expected lecturers to have at least 25 credits on teaching curriculum. To myself, I want to become a teacher who has the ability to pass the knowl- edge to students as well as encourage critical thinking among my students. I also want to help students prepare the necessary skills for their working life. I would like to learn how to create an active learning environment, in which students can learn by discovering the knowledge by themselves. One of the main job for teachers is student assessment. The grading of students should reflect their learning outcome as a way to ensure the actual learning process. However, I surprised that the university refers to the high passing rate, due to the fact that the sooner students get their degree, the better the university gains. During the class, there is a discussion about certain people with \teacher genes" and that extrovert are better suit to become teachers than introvert. I disagreed with this fixed-mindset argument because I think a good teacher is the one who provides and encourages students to learn [3]. As a first-year doctoral student, in this Spring semester, I had a lecture by myself. The lecture content is good, but I feel extremely nervous, then I end up rushing through the lecture. After that, I think I can do better.

  • Students' Perceptions of University Education
    Research in Higher Education Journal Students’ perceptions of university education – USA vs. China Hongjiang Xu Butler University ABSTRACT As we continue in the global, competitive business environment, issues of globalization of education should not be overlooked. With study abroad programs for students and the internationalization of faculty, perceptions of students toward higher educational, particularly aspects of teaching and learning, from various cultural backgrounds will strongly influence educational systems. This research presents a comparative study, US versus China , of students’ perceptions toward higher education. Keywords: University education, student’s perceptions, higher education, educational orientation Student perceptions, Page 1 Research in Higher Education Journal INTRODUCTION Students from different education and culture background may have different perceptions towards higher education—particularly expectations related to teaching and learning. Students’ approach and orientation to education may further affect their academic decisions, expectations, and performance. Studies based on psychometric analysis and interviews have shown that there are two generalized types of educational orientation among students: a learning-oriented type and a grade-oriented type (Alexitch & Page, 1996; Katchadurian & Boli, 1985). The former focus primarily on values such as harmony, personal growth, the process of learning and intellectual competence, and this type of student espouses intrinsic values. The grade-oriented student primarily

  • Preschool to Kindergarten IEP Transition
    Preschool to Kindergarten IEP Preschool to Kindergarten IEP Transition OFFICE OF EARLY LEARNING AND SCHOOL READINESS September 2019 Introduction The Office of Early Learning and School Readiness provides technical assistance and resources for our partners working with families, preschool staff and communities to meet the individual needs of preschool children with disabilities. The goal of this manual is to offer information to preschool programs and school districts that are responsible for planning, developing and implementing the individualized education program (IEP) of a child who is leaving preschool to enter kindergarten. This guidance will help the child’s IEP team plan for his or her success, making the transition from preschool to elementary school a positive experience. Please contact the Preschool Special Education team for further assistance at [email protected] or (614) 369-3765. PAGE 2 | Preschool to Kindergarten IEP Transition | September 2019 One Combined, Preschool and Kindergarten IEP or Two Subsequent IEPs: (Preschool then Kindergarten)? First, the IEP team must decide whether it will develop and implement one IEP for the preschool special education student that will transition with the child to kindergarten or develop a preschool IEP and later assemble the school-age IEP team to develop a subsequent school-age IEP for the child’s kindergarten year. The team should consider the advantages and disadvantages of both scenarios and which set-up best meets the needs of the child. The team also must ensure the child’s special education and related services are not interrupted in the preschool to kindergarten transition. Option 1: Combined IEP Developing and implementing a combined IEP may streamline the process for the child transitioning from preschool to kindergarten by reducing the paperwork required and minimizing scheduling difficulties for IEP team members.

  • TOWSON UNIVERSITY EDUCATION PROGRAM PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR POLICY INTRODUCTION and RATIONALE the Teacher Education Executive Boar
    TOWSON UNIVERSITY EDUCATION PROGRAM PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR POLICY INTRODUCTION and RATIONALE The Teacher Education Executive Board (TEEB) has a responsibility to the education community to ensure that individuals whom Towson University recommends to the State of Maryland for certification are highly qualified to join the education profession. Those entering the teaching profession are required to have strong academic preparation, mastery of pedagogy, and other professional competencies. The profession also requires non-academic professional behaviors, such as interpersonal skills, which are as critical to success as those in the academic domain. The goal of this Professional Behavior Policy is to help candidates know and demonstrate professional behaviors in a school environment. This document sets forth the essential professional behaviors for the entire education unit. A professional behavior policy serves several important functions, including, but not limited to: (a) providing information to those considering teaching careers that will help such students in their career decision-making; (b) serving as the basis for feedback provided to students throughout their teaching program regarding their progress toward mastery of all program objectives; and (c) serving as the basis for the final assessment of attainment of graduation requirements and recommendation for certification. All candidates in education programs are expected to demonstrate that they are prepared to work with students and adults in educational settings. This preparation results from the combination of successful completion of Towson University coursework, field/internship experiences, and the demonstration of professional behaviors that all educators should possess. The professional behaviors and conduct deemed compatible with Towson University and/or schools are outlined below.
