Why You Need a Career Mentor

Posted on by [email protected]_84

 

Mentors are an important resource for success on the job. Finding one can be a task, positioning you to be selected as a mentee is another. Here are some helpful tips.

Mentoring used to be an informal and difficult process. Managers would identify potential success stories. You had to be likeable or someone who reminded the mentor of his or her early years. The golf course or a game of billiards would open opportunities to be groomed. Relationships would develop over cold beers. You guessed it, the “good old boy” network. If you did not hang out you were left out.

Companies today realize the organizational benefit of supporting and developing talent and are establishing formal mentor programs that ensure growth from the bottom to the top lasts from within. Will employees stay longer if they feel like they are being groomed for success? Are you the best option for a new opportunity if your career is being guided by manager, supervisor, coach, or a specialist?

Having a mentor allows access to information that may not otherwise be available to you. Mentors show you the ropes, they lend you a hand, and they provide insight into a world that continues to change as you navigate through it. Mentors provide quality information because more than likely they have made the same mistakes you are asking, so you benefit from the secret weapon. Think about your co-workers, everyone wants to get promoted all at the same time. You better believe if you have a strong mentor and you are following his or her advice you should have an edge. I have seen too many times one position opens and 3 employees want that new title. Read below for tips on why you need a career mentor.

Motivation – A good mentor has the rare ability to explain to you what you need to do and why, in a way that makes sense. An encounter with a mentor often becomes a turning point in your career or business.

Success – A mentor who shares their experience with you helps you to avoid mistakes that you would otherwise make. Achieving success faster and with less effort, would you consider that to be efficient and effective?

Honesty – A mentor is a person who is not emotionally involved in your situation, your friends, family, barber, or hairstylist love to give advice. These people either, do not know, are emotional involved, or tell you exactly what you want to here. A mentor’s advice should be free and straight to the point.

Positive Attitude – When “Murphy’s Law” kicks in to your life a good mentor knows you are bleeding internally, but they have a plan to get you patched up, in a step by step approach. Mentors always have a story to make you feel good and to give the necessary encouragement to move forward.

Improvement – Your mentor will expect some improve. You should expect to grow with knowledge. Mentors will advise homework, such …

Things You Should Know About English Schools

Posted on by [email protected]_84

An English School refers to a school or institution where English is the ‘primary medium of imparting education’ to students in all subjects; this may also be the case where English is not the first language or the ‘mother tongue’ of the students.

A thorough knowledge of the English language is extremely valuable and useful for communication at a global level; since many countries have mandated that the English language is used as the normal education medium.

The spread of English around the world is associated with the rise of the British Empire. From its original homeland in the lowlands of Scotland to the rest or Ireland and Great Britain, the use of the English language spread far and wide increasing the cultural and economic influences of countries especially since the times of the World Wars.

Once English left the shores of the British Isles, it travelled quickly to the Commonwealth Countries such as Canada, Australia and large parts of Asia where the British Empire extended to.

Under Section 92 of the Canadian Constitution, education is a matter under provincial control. Large parts of Canada were occupied by French-speaking Europeans. During the 19th and 20th century, the English-only education laws culinated in the Manitoba Schools Question 1896 and Ontario Regulation 17 in 1912, which were strident against French and other European minority languages. Canada adopted official bilingualism in 1969 where English and French found their places, but for most part English remains the predominant language of education.

The Parliament of England passed the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542 annexing Wales as part of the English Kingdom; These laws are collectively referred to as ‘Acts of Union’.

In Ireland, the ‘Royal Schools’ proclamation by James I in 1608 was done with the intent of setting up on free school in every country for educating the youth in learning and religion.

Between 1494 and 1698 the Scots Parliament passed nearly ten acts to legislate and establish English among the aristocracy first and spread it down to all ranks of people.

The Charter Act of 1813 decreed that English as a language would be included in the Indian education system for students to learn although strictly not enforcing it as a replacement for existing indigenous languages. It was anticipated that English would continue to exist with other studies to reinforce moral laws and ethical values.

Colonial education

In South Africa, the Dutch Reformed Church Elders established the earliest European schools in the late 17th century in the Cape Colony to minister biblical instruction as a necessary requisite for church confirmations. Basic literacy abilities and math skills were taught in rural areas but by 1799, British mission schools had propagated with the arrival of the early delegation of the London Missionary Society.

Elsewhere, with the spread of English as the dominant language for learning and working, orthodox believers and fanatic opposers of the language fostered trouble by resisting the use of English in schools and teaching places; however, by the turn of the 21st …

Exciting Teaching Tools of Tomorrow

Posted on by [email protected]_84

School teachers always wanted to discover ways to connect with their students more effectively for a better learning experience. Thanks to such tools as ClassDojo, teachers can now easily have their students focused in class in no time (rather than spend precious minutes trying to manage students’ behavior).

ClassDojo likewise provides students with data on their own behavior, making them less disorderly, leading to a more conducive learning environment. Parents benefit from ClassDojo, too. Teachers can easily access every child’s classroom information and show them to the parents and make them engaged in their children’s development.

Three Ring is another techie tool for teachers who want to organize their students’ data digitally. This app allows teachers to upload student works from your smartphones or laptops directly to your own online stream.

You can use it during instruction inside the classroom, for planning lessons that are needed or will be enjoyed by the students, and for easily assessing the works of each of your students. Students can also see their progress through time through the uploaded pictures in the teachers’ stream. This can encourage them to do better in class.

Years of research on early cognitive development has paved way for new tools that will help children develop their cognitive skills. Scientific Learning®’s Fast ForWord Program strengthens children’s cognitive skills, helping them improve their reading-related skills such as comprehension, phonological and phonemic awareness, vocabulary, syntax, and grammar, among others.

Fast ForWord also offers English language learning where children can improve on their English literacy rapidly. The program is also consistent in the use of brain exercises for better retention and faster improvement on the use of English language, no matter what your first language may be.

More and more grade school teachers are also excited about custom-designed curriculums which allow the use of apps and devices such as iPads. Elementary schools in several parts of the United States have participated in piloting this kind of programs. For example, students of Jessieville Elementary School in Arkansas used storybook apps for their language arts and science activities. Likewise, students from Van Meter Elementary School managed to create their own ebooks by using several apps and software such as FlipSnack, Evernote, Skitch, and Mackin VIA.

Teachers believe that technology should be used to make education and learning more fun and interesting for children who are exposed to the internet, video games, and devices (such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets) early in their lives.…

Career Planning With Mind Maps

Posted on by [email protected]_84

There are plenty of instances in life where you have to make a choice; and no, this is not just about which ice cream flavor you should pick. There are important scenarios, your choices during which can go on to shape your life, at least for the next few years. One of these scenarios is when you are at a multi-pronged fork in terms of career and you have to choose one that you can follow, probably for the rest of your life. Often, this is the only prong that people can select, and there are very few people who can get the option to make another choice at the fork. The big conundrum is: how to choose the right fork for you?

For generations, a majority of people have been choosing their careers after consulting their acquentions without really considering their own aptitude. This method can be called anything but foolproof, and it is very much similar that you'll end up doing something you have absolutely no interest in. Fortunately, there is a better, more fruitful method for selecting and planning a career, one that can definitely be more help to you. The method is using Mind Maps.

Here are a few steps as to how you can utilize mind maps to plan a career:

1. Make a note of your current skill set

Enlist your skills, your strengths, your weaknesses, tasks at which you can excel and tasks at which you can tank horribly.

Now objectively compare this with the requirements of your current job. If you find that you are overqualified, it's time to say Hi to new interviews.

If you find that you are just about qualified, highlight those regions which you can work upon. Set targets for yourself, wherein you can improve and be a better professional.

2. Set goals according to your limits

This is quite important because setting too high a goal is just as effective as asking a cat to spell out 'onomatopoeia'. Every person has their own limits and boundaries as to what they can achieve or even work at, and it is, in fact, quintessential that you set realistic goals. That way, you can constantly compare yourself against realistic benchmarks, and hopefully, at some point, exceed your own expectations.

3. Evaluation

List out all the realistic career options available to you. Add everything that is possible and you might like doing, even if it includes playing some sport for a career. Now, add four more columns against each of these options, sometimes your desirability for the job (listen to your heart here), the potential it has (brain, not the heart), how realistic the option is to actually carry out for you (brain again), and the drawbacks of each option (of course the brain).

Fill out these columns realistically, with a neutral perspective, as if you are doing this for someone else. You will be able to eliminate a majority of the options with this simple screening process, and it will …

Continuing Education in Malaysia, Pathway to Individual Growth

Posted on by [email protected]_84

Education in an International Context

Asia has long been an avid student of the West, and for almost a century and a half, students from all over Asia have traveled abroad in search of the best education and training to plant the seeds of new technology, knowledge and ways of living and working in order to improve living conditions in their home countries. Foreign teachers have traveled to train Asians at home and to advise nations on building teaching facilities and systems based on Western models. Furthering educational goals remains a basic premise of cultural exchange and international relations.

For Malaysia, the pace of modern Western learning has accelerated since the country's independence from British colonial rule following WWII. The nation realized early on that it could not modernize and raise the standard of living of its citizenry on its own in isolation. Multinational corporations established operations in Malaysia employing and training locals. Technology transferred from abroad, Malaysian researchers, educators and students traveled overseas, foreign advisers were invited to positions in Malaysian institutions and facilities.

The goals of higher education in Malaysia are aligned with those of other peaceful nations of the world: to advance the economic development of the nation, to improve the lives of its citizenry, to promote greater cultural understanding between people and regions of the world, and to further the boundaries of all academic disciplines.

Education Improves Lives

Education and training are the means to inform and positively guide a nation's prospects for the future as each worker learners to creatively solve problems, perform higher technical jobs or manage several projects and teams. By investing in education, a line worker, a staff member, a manager upgrades his skills and know-how to accumulate greater responsibilities and increases his income. Training provides the work force with the necessary technical and managerial skills required by employers. The individual and society which invest in education pave the way for a more promising future and improve the life conditions of the family and the citizenry. Education and training enables the son of an unskilled laborer in a remote village to become a crane operator at a high-rise construction site or a crew leader at an electronics manufacturing plant or a paralegal or a government-appointed magistrate.

Education Must Also Change over Time

As change alters the fabric of society, the needs of society change and so too, do the roles and skills needed for high-technology, emerging industries to gain traction and move forward. The lifeblood of any nation which continues to develop and raise its standard of living is its education system, and for the individual the need for continuing education is just as vital. As jobs fall to economic downturns and cycles, and traditional industries and manufacturing give way to the rising industries of the future, the skills and knowledge learned twenty years ago may be less relevant today. The need to consistently reinvest in the education and training at both the personal and national levels is essential for growth and …

Online Degrees – Almeda University And The Wikipedia Scoff

Posted on by [email protected]_84

Any new shoot that comes out of the soil has to face hardships to gain a strong foothold. Almeda University is no exception. Almeda, with its unique 'life experience degrees' has created quite a stir in the industry since its inception in 1997.

Oh ok, is not this the Almeda University who has been bad-mouted a lot in the media and on the internet through various forums and Wikipedia? Yes, it is. Want to know some hardcore facts? Read on.

What's the Hype About?

Well, the hype is all about Almeda University offering degrees to its students. Is not that what a university is supposed to do? So what's the hype for? Interesting question and a highly practical one!

Practical? Of Course! The hype is all about practicality. The hype is all about going the yet untraded path.

Facts about Almeda University

Contrary to what you may read elsewhere, here is a list of simple facts which should serve as an eye-opener. These facts should also assist you in deciding whether Almeda University is your neighborhood 'diploma mill' or a proper institution run by professionals.

For starters, the intake age is between 35 and 54, with the average Almeda graduate standing tall at 41 years of age. I am prepared to bet on it that you did not know this simple fact – because it has been conspicuously kept from you. Why?

For it blatantly means that Almeda degrees are not for everyone – they are designed for a very specific clientele in mind. And that clientele is such that it poses no threat to Almeda's competitors.

The word 'practical' is of consequence – it is the only word of essence to what Almeda does. You are given a degree based on your actual 'practical' experience – not your theoretical knowledge. Your skills are assessed not words but you are required to prove your skills.

And this 'practical' experience is recognized by means of awarding you a 'degree'. To show the world that yes, you have the practical experience required for some jobs. That is why Almeda degrees are not accepted in public sector jobs.

Hold it! Yes, that is another fact hidden from you by the critics, and you are made aware of it in a way which makes you feel Almeda does not want you to know it. Quite contrarily, Almeda clearly states on its website that Almeda degrees are not for any and everyone and that these degrees are invalid for public sector jobs – but the critics lash out at Almeda saying that these degrees do not work with public sector jobs.

Think about it, they make it sound like that's a bad thing; they make it sound as if Almeda hides this piece of information from you. In reality, it does not.

I would suggest, and you may not be able to counter my suggestion – if you have ANY hunch regarding Almeda, let the solution come straight from the horse's mouth rather than hearing …
