Online degrees are an excellent solution to the age-old problems of not having enough time or money to go to college. The time issue is often what put individuals off because they may have a full time job, a family or other commitments that need attending to before an individual can even think about doing something for his or herself. However, it is easier to fit an education around a family with an online degree. The next question, of affordability, may actually provide the stumbling block here. Although an individual may still be working, a drop in income would probably not sustain an education as well. That is where scholarships for online degrees come in useful! There is funding for online degrees available out there. You just have to take the time to find it!

Scholarships and grants for individuals looking to complete an online degree or course, just the same as they would be available for individuals who are attending a campus based degree. He guidelines for searching for scholarships and grants are as follows:

Federal grants - Federal grants are available to any individual wanting to pursue an education in the face of hardship, and those individuals whose income falls 200% below the poverty line can actually get a federal hardship grant without exception. In this way, the government are committed to making sure that anyone wanting an education can have access to one regardless of his or her social status or class. In this way, they are as committed to their goal as the online institutions that provide the classes. There are also other government approved grants for those unable to work, looking after a disabled dependent and in various other problematic situation that may otherwise prevent them from getting an education.

College scholarships and grants - Various online schools also offer their own scholarships for individuals that deserve it. You can request information from the schools that you are thinking of applying to and actually apply for the scholarships when you send your application form in. Online schools are no different to regular schools in that they aim to take as many gifted individuals in as possible and designate so many scholarships for every intake as possible. However, if you think that you have a gift or will struggle to support yourself financially whilst completing your online degree then you should compare the various scholarships that you choice of colleges has to offer. If one will help you and another will not then it is a no-brainer when it comes to choosing the right one for you!

In order to locate various scholarships, you have to really do your research. You can look in student magazines, on websites, call the careers advisor at every school that you are thinking of applying to… There are many people that you can contact if you so wish. However, you have to put the effort in to locate them. When you have enough information then you can apply for various grants and scholarships. As you would be applying for online courses and degrees then you would have to substantiate your arguments as to why you would be the best person to award a scholarship to if going for private funding or federal funding. However, you can do nothing but try, and if you do not ask then you do not get!

“Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.”
- Amelia Earhart

Remember the first time you ever rode an airplane?

The engine started whirring and the rudder stirred into position as you buckled in your seatbelt and faked calm. But as the plane started shifting towards the runway and its wheels slowly lifted from the ground, your stomach suddenly churned uncontrollably and you felt like spewing out the fried chicken you just had for lunch.

You start getting paranoid at the thought of being weightless, of being supported by nothing but invisible air. You suddenly long for solid ground, regretting why you even wanted to defy gravity.

Then, the seemingly chaotic rise ceased. The pilot turned off the seatbelt sign and a sense of calm overwhelmed you. You looked out the window and you saw nothing but blue skies and shape-shifting clouds.

You then realize why you rode an airplane in the first place. You wanted to experience it. You wanted an adventure. You were a traveller, seeking to arrive at a certain destination.

Such is the case in deciding to seek an education abroad.

At this point, you’re more likely leaning towards an international experience but somehow, you need a little bit more convincing to ease your fears and to confirm that this is truly the right decision. You need to know why you’re even attempting this frightening endeavour.

What are the benefits of an education abroad?

Leaving home and the familiar can be a tough decision. And for the tough to get going when the going gets tough, one must know what the silver linings are.

1. Personal growth

An education abroad will promote independence, self-confidence and maturity.

This experience will push you into experiencing the real world.

You may have friends and family backing you up. You may have their support and they may even find ways of being in close proximity to you.

But believe me - this is your fight. This is your experience. This is your adventure. And this will be your success.

And no matter the experience - whether good or bad - you will be the better for it.

By pursuing an education abroad, one becomes not only a university student, but a student of life as well.

2. Enhancement of education

An obvious benefit is growth in your scholarly pursuits.

While education differs from one university to the next; all the more an education back home will vary from an education abroad. And with the experience of something new and different, one’s specialization is reinforced.

One is no longer limited to what is familiar. One becomes educated in the new, the different and expectedly, the more current.

3. Cultural appreciation

When one is able to study abroad, his appreciation for other cultures overpowers ‘cultural toleration.’

Let me explain.

The term ‘toleration’ connotes being able to overcome an ‘annoyance’ of some sort; while ‘appreciation’ encapsulates a sense of celebration of distinction.

A student who pursues an education abroad will inevitably meet people of different races, cultures and religions. Being the ‘outsider,’ he will need to - and more likely, want to - participate in his host country’s culture and his newfound peers’ everday living.

Through this participation, the student will learn to appreciate what is his, what is others’ and what connects and differentiates both.

4. A network of possibilities

Your new peers will be your new contacts and they will open a whole new world of possibilities to you.

Imagine having friends in the Netherlands, in Australia, in Japan, in France and in other areas of the world. Just like you, your new friends are educated and more likely, ambitious. With fantastic educational backgrounds and thirst for success, more often than not, you and your peers will be occupying high positions in your respective fields.

You will be each one’s contact. With each point being as strong as the next, your network of friends will be beneficial for all of you.

5. Career booster

There is nothing more eye-catching in today’s global market than an ‘international experience’ printed out in one’s resume.

Companies appreciate and admire an educational attainment abroad, for this shows the individual’s capacity to adapt to and thrive in global competition.

We are no longer just battling it out at home. Competition has expanded from our own backyards into our neighbors’. And an international degree can mean the difference between being able to compete and settling for last place.

So, are you convinced of the benefits an education abroad can bring?

Buckle up and enjoy the ride! It’s gonna be a doozy!

Ever thought of Nursing as your occupation? Taking care of the elderly, playing with children, consoling a sick person, being there for someone when they’re on their death bed? These are some of the things that you would do being a nurse. The bond that builds up between the patient and his caretaker - the nurse, is something to be cherished. The patient becomes dependent on you, and as long as he is under your care, you become his guardian angel.

Many people also go for nursing as their second career. To become a qualified nurse, you have to take nursing education from any recognized nursing school or nursing college. Nurse education is just like any other education, where you would be taught and prepared for nursing care. The students will be given lessons on various health education and medicines by qualified doctors, experienced nurses, and educators. Almost everywhere around the world the basic courses are similar; like general nursing, mental health nursing, and taking care of sick children. The courses are usually three years long.

Nursing is taught in nursing schools. You can also get a post graduate qualification in any specialist subject within nursing from a reputed nursing college. In the past, the emphasis was more only on the practical part, but now all nursing schools are focused both on the theoretical as well as the practical part, as nurses have to deal with so many types of patients. They have to know what to do and what not to, incase the doctor is not around. They are given basic education on medicine as well. Nurses today are not just a helper of the doctor concerned, but they are trained so that they would be able to contribute equally to the team.

Nursing education:

The first nursing school was set by Florence Nightingale at St Thomas’ Hospital, London. The curriculum in those days was just focused on hygienic factor and task competence. Nursing at that time was mainly adopted by girls, often taken in religious orders, but now we find many male nurses in all the hospitals, especially in mental health services. So many nursing schools and colleges have come up with the increasing need of nurses all over the world. It is recorded that in America itself there are about 45,000 nursing schools.

A lot of arguments still surround nursing education. Some believe that practical knowledge is what is most important, but some argue that with so many advancements coming in the medical world, these nursing schools should be able to teach them to manage health care and also to see the “future picture”. So to meet all these needs, nursing schools aim to train nurses who can be nurtured and trained to be life long learners, so as to meet any changes in both theory and practical parts of nursing.

Things to remember:

There are some points that you should remember when going for a nursing education:

• Decide on what program you want to take, and then decide on a school that matches.
• Look out for the featured schools around your area.
• Some people want the close attention of a small school, while others prefer the intellectual stimulation of a large institution.
• Make enquiries about the school, and the school’s reputation.
• It is better to take a school where the ratio of the students and the faculty is good. It is better to be in a small class size so that each student will be given equal attention.
• See that the school meets the standards of education set by a national accrediting organization.

To become a nurse you would need to dedicate your time and care whenever there is a need. Remember you can be a nurse at any age. If you are in your thirties or forties, this doesn’t mean you are not eligible. As long as you are ready to dedicate your life into this profession, you can become a nurse.

In June 2006, Superintendent Carl Cohn appointed five new area superintendents for the San Diego Schools.

Each new area superintendent will be an advocate for the schools under them, as well as the communities for these schools. They will be empowered to ensure that the San Diego Schools have a fully enriched and competitive curriculum that recognizes the importance of the educational basics, as well as the nearly forgotten art, music and physical education programs. They will be responsible for expanding in their San Diego Schools partnerships between parents, the community, businesses and higher education. Each student is to be ensured as smooth a transition as possible for students and parents, especially in the early years.

These five appointments complete key staffing of top leadership positions in the San Diego Schools. Each of the five areas within the San Diego Schools will include up to 25 elementary schools and their nearby middle schools.

The new area one superintendent is Carol Barry. She earned an MA inn school administration from Azusa Pacific University and a BA in liberal studies from San Diego State University. Before her appointment, Barry served as acting assistant superintendent for the San Diego Schools. Previously, she was the principal at several San Diego Schools.

The area two superintendent is Dr. Hye Jung (Chelsea) Kang-Smith. Kang-Smith holds an Ed.D. from the University of Southern California, MS in education from California Southern University Fullerton, and her BS in biology from the University of California Irvine. Kang-Smith came to the San Diego Schools in 2005, where she first served as principal in Anaheim Union High School District and most recently as assistant superintendent.

Dr. Richard Cansdale is the area three superintendent. He holds an Ed.D. in educational leadership from the United States International University, an Ed.S. from Point Loma Nazarene University, an MA in education of exceptional children from San Francisco University, and a BA in elementary education from the University of Nevada at Reno.

The area four superintendent is Vincent Matthews, who was a 2006 fellow of the Broad Superintendent’s Academy. He earned an MA in educational administration and a BA in elementary education from San Francisco State University. Before his appointment, Matthews was an educator in residence for the NewSchools Venture Fund in San Francisco. Prior to that, he was an advisor to 35 charter schools that serves approximately 9,000 low-income students.

Dr. Delfino Aleman, Jr. is the area five superintendent. He holds a Ph.D. in educational administration from the University of Texas at Austin, an MA in education from Texas Women’s University, and a BA in theology from Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. Aleman, who is proficient in Spanish, was the associate superintendent for teaching and learning at the Isaac School District in Phoenix, Arizona. Previously, he served as director of policies, procedures and public information in the San Antonio Independent School District.

In addition to these five new appointments, the San Diego Schools filled three other positions through recent appointments.

Dorothy Harper is the new associate superintendent for parent, community and student engagement. Harper earned her MA in education from Memphis State University and bachelor’s degree in biology from Dillard University. Her experience includes vice president of development for the Newton Learning Supplemental Education Services, as well as area superintendent, assistant superintendent, and deputy superintendent at the Long Beach Unified School District. In her new position, Harper will work to establish a comprehensive, consolidated system of support that will engage parents, the community, and students within the San Diego Schools.

Arun Ramanathan, an advanced doctoral fellow at Harvard, is the new executive director for governmental relations. He earned an MA in special education and elementary education from Boston College, and a BA in government from Dartmouth. Prior to his appointment, Ramanathan was research director for the Los Angeles Unified School District. He will serve as an advocate for the San Diego Schools to state legislators on issues and laws affecting the school district.

Dr. Kyo Yamashiro is the San Diego Schools’ new director of school management. She holds a Ph.D. from UCLA, which she received in June of 2006 as a top doctoral candidate. She earned an MA in administration and policy analysis and a BA in English literature from Stanford University. Prior to her appointment, she was a research and evaluation consultant for the Long Beach Unified School District. In her new position, Yamashiro works with the School Choice programs, including charter schools, No Child Left Behind program improvement, and enrollment options program — magnet schools and voluntary ethnic enrollment programs (VEEP) are included.

These appointments excite the San Diego Schools. All will serve well the more than 132,000 students in the San Diego Schools, the second largest school district in California. With more than 216 educational facilities, these talented and motivated appointees will be a plus for the San Diego Schools.

Los Angeles Schools are seeing a steady increase in arts education as the dual result of a long-term program and recent state funding. The Arts for All program was initiated in 2002 as a 10-year plan to restore arts education to the 80 districts of Los Angeles Schools. The project focuses on bringing music, dance, drama and the visual arts to K-12 schools in the area. Nine schools have just signed up for the 2007-2008 school year, bringing the total number of Los Angeles Schools involved up to 27.

Two of the newest participants are the Lancaster and Palmdale districts of Los Angeles Schools. Both schools completely eliminated their elementary music programs in the last decade due to budget cuts and increased pressure to perform on state tests. Major cuts first began for Los Angeles Schools with Proposition 13 in 1978. This California mandate reduced property taxes and district funds, which required all Los Angeles Schools to reduce or eliminate arts and physical education classes.

Los Angeles Schools were pleased when the state announced funding of $500 million for art, music and physical education classes in the beginning of June. Los Angeles Schools will use much of these funds for the Arts for All Program. Arts for All is built on a five-step process which, while proven effective, costs money. The five steps involved are:

1. Allocating 5% of a district’s budget to arts education
2. Having a board adopted policy
3. Creating an implementation plan with a timeline
4. Assigning a district level arts coordinator
5. Maintaining a student to arts teacher ratio of 400:1

Los Angeles Schools will pay for a program expert to guide parents, staff and community members in the creation of their implementation plan. The Lancaster district has an additional grant of $260,000 for its art and music programs.

Los Angeles Schools welcome the increased funding as a long overdue measure. Many educators in the Los Angeles Schools have lamented the loss of the arts as harmful to student development. While many of the cuts to arts education result from diverting funds to cover academic subjects needed to pass state tests, teachers argue that art actually enhances learning, allows children to make connections between subjects, and provides a much needed balance to education.

Like the rest of the country’s urban districts Los Angeles Schools are trying to meet the 2014 No Child Left Behind requirement that mandates proficiency on state tests by all students regardless of developmental delays or language barriers. Diverting funding away from the arts has put Los Angeles Schools in a situation where children as young as third grade are losing recess, physical activity and a basic arts background in a frenzied scramble to meet rising national standards.

As nation’s capitol, and one of the countries most watched districts, the Washington D.C. Schools are at the forefront of controversy and change. Declining enrollment, voucher programs, and curriculum changes, have all been hot topics in Washington D.C. Schools over the past few years. One of the benefits of attending school in the capitol city is that it’s where decisions are made.

Two of the biggest players in determining what Washington D.C. Schools experience are the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the Center for Educational Policy (CEP). According to its mission statement AERA is “a national research society, [that] strives to advance knowledge about education, to encourage scholarly inquiry related to education, and to promote the use of research to improve education and serve the public good.”

Located in D.C. the organization is comprised of over 25,000 educational researchers, professors and educational think tanks. The research performed by AERA and the reports they publish impact the Washington D.C. schools on many different levels. One way is through their association with the CEP.

The CEP is also a D.C. based advocate for public schools. Recently Jack Jennings, president and CEO of the Center, received the 2007 AERA Distinguished Public Service award. Jennings earned the honor because of the research and application of school reform issues and policies the center provides. Teachers and administrators of Washington D.C. Schools appreciate the CEP for helping both parents and professional educators make sense of the various opinions of public school success and needs.

Many of the topics that the Washington D.C. Schools struggle with, like exit exams and racial gaps, are unraveled and examined by Jennings’ organization. Washington D.C. Schools have to face the realities of the No Child Left Behind Act and its implications. The CEP has tackled that issue, which is impacting every public school in the nation.

School reform issues tend to be largely influenced by politics at both a local and national level. For Washington D.C. Schools, they are caught in the crossfire of both. As local leaders strive to meet needs with initiatives like the Master Education Plan that overhauled curriculum standards, and the Master Facilities Plan that is bringing buildings up to code, having a local think tank evaluating their steps can be helpful. Washington D.C. Schools are watched closely by some of the most knowledgeable and experienced educators in the nation.

Jennings experience prior to founding the CEP included serving as general counsel for the US House of Representatives’ committee on Education and Labor where he participated in debates about the Vocational Education Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Act. He is also the founding editor of Education Week and Teacher Magazine.

Ten years ago, who would have thought you could get an education without attending classes? The Internet has made wonderful things possible, though, among them the ability to get your health care degree online. An online education carries with it a unique set of advantages, including:

You can continue working while you go to school.
Realistically, you don’t have to actually “go” anywhere. You can keep working the same job with the same hours, because taking online classes gives you the flexibility to plan your education around your job, rather than the other way around.

Doing what’s best for you without neglecting what’s best for your family.
Your family needs you; there’s no doubt about that. Online classes allow you to be there for them, both as an income provider and as their emotional support. And because you are getting your health care degree online, you’ll be able to look forward to a time when you can advance your career and substantially improve the quality of your family’s life.

Getting an education without sacrificing your social life.
For returning students at a traditional job, sometimes it is all they can do to work and go to school full time. Just those two things take up so much time that their social life is non-existent. For you, however, things can be different. If you get your health care degree online, you will be able to plan your schooling around the other obligations you have in your life, enabling you to maintain your friends as well.

Being able to do your coursework where and when it’s convenient for you.
Because you won’t have to attend class at a certain day and time each week, getting your health care degree online will enable you to do your homework whenever and wherever you want. Imagine being able to sign on to your class, check your messages, read lectures, and do assignments at your own convenience. This might be first thing in the morning, or late at night. You do it from home, at the library, or on your lunch break at work. Virtual education gives you the freedom to plan your classes around your life, rather than the other way around.

Having everything you need at the click of a mouse.
Getting your health care degree online basically allows you to combine your education with the speed and convenience of gathering information via the Internet. Online classes generally have their own website or page, containing a syllabus, information on specific assignments, a class forum where you can hold class discussions, and a class message or email system. Because of this setup, you can find any information about the class with just the click of a mouse, whether it is verifying details of homework assignments, or emailing the teacher or another student for more information.

The Internet is amazing simply because it allows people to send, access, and find large amounts of information at the speed of light. Therefore it should come as no surprise that this exchange of information can also be used to help you get your education. Online education allows you to continue working, keep your family obligations, and spend time with your friends, even while you earn your health care degree online.

It is said that a good quality education is one of the best legacies a parent can bestow on his or her children. Now, with non- traditional methods of learning such as home schooling programs, you can assure your child or children of quality education without the debilitating costs of exorbitant sending them to good private schools.

Also, most public school educational systems does not allow for customization of teaching styles to cater to your child or children’s needs as well as foster an environment for learning that is best suited for your child or children. For these reasons, non traditional home schooling education is gaining popularity and perhaps it won’t be long before this non traditional method will be considered mainstream.

In the meantime though, it is in your best interest as a parent to ensure that the quality of education that you bring to your child or children through home schooling is at par or even better than traditional methods he or she can experience in a classroom setting.

For this purpose you must equip your child in proper education, taking in consideration that there are certain levels that your child must reach in terms of learning to be able to qualify for good a college or university in case your child wants to continue pursuing higher education after earning a high school degree.

All students in special education are required by law to have a complete evaluation every three years to determine eligibility for special education services. The following case study is about a student named “Adam”. Adam is seven years old and has autism. He is in a Special Day Class setting in a public school. The case study includes details of Adam’s three-year educational evaluation.

The student in this case study has autism. His name is Adam. Adam is seven years old. He is in a Special Day Class for Severely Handicapped students. Adam’s 3-year evaluation needed to be completed to determine eligibility for his special education services. Adam has an advocate and parents who are intensely involved with his education. When the assessment plan was presented to the parents, they requested additional assessments including a functional analysis, occupational therapy and an assistive technology assessment. A copy of the signed assessment plan was given to the appropriate specialists: psychologist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, speech therapist, nurse and special education teacher.

The school psychologist observed Adam on several occasions before administering the psycho-educational profile revised (PEP-R). The PEP-R covers a variety of developmental areas. The test items are presented with simple, concrete instructions and most of the expected responses are nonverbal. The PEP-R provides information on developmental functioning in imitation, perception, fine motor, gross motor, eye-hand integration, cognitive performance and cognitive verbal areas. The PEP-R consists of a set of toys and learning materials that were presented to Adam within structured play activities. The psychologist recorded Adam’s responses to the test. His scores were then distributed among seven developmental and four behavioral areas. The resulting profile revealed Adam’s strengths and weaknesses in the different areas of development and behavior.

Adam’s portfolio was used as an assessment tool. Included in his portfolio were work samples, progress reports, behavior reports, notes from parents and daily reports. The teacher sent home daily reports that included performance, compliance and prompt levels on Adam’s tasks and goals/benchmarks. His parents signed and returned the daily reports and became part of his portfolio. The daily reports were used to assist in the assessment of Adam.

The school psychologist also conducted the functional analysis to determine why Adam was exhibiting disruptive behaviors. Questionnaires were sent home for the parents to complete. Screaming and biting were behaviors his parents and teacher were concerned about. The classroom teacher was responsible for collecting data on the behaviors. The psychologist and the teacher created a data collection form. The teacher recorded the occurrence of the undesired behaviors. The information from the parents, psychologist observations and teacher were compiled by the psychologist and the report was written.

The occupational therapist observed Adam, assessed him and wrote a report. The school nurse tested Adam with a special device. She was able to determine that his hearing appeared to be normal. Adam’s parents reported no problems with his vision and hearing. The speech therapist, who worked with him over the past year, also assessed him.

Other tests that can be used to diagnose and assess students with autism are the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and Pre-Linguistic Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (PL-ADOS). These tests are individual autism assessment instruments that have been specifically designed to assess children with autism. Furthermore, these tests rely on either historical information about the child’s behavior (usually provided by a parent), direct observation of the child by a professional or a combination of these methods.

Adam’s assessment for his 3-year evaluation was extensive and comprehensive. This assessment gave the team information on Adam’s development, behavior, communication, health, coordination and cognitive levels. With this information, the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team determined that his placement was appropriate. Occupational Therapy (OT) services were recommended. The occupational therapist wrote several goals and will provide services for Adam. The functional analysis concluded that Adam’s undesired behaviors occurred during transitions. The assistive technology assessment revealed that Adam excelled in this area. No recommendations were needed. Although Adam’s assessment was extensive and required hard work for the IEP team, valuable information was provided that assisted the team in making recommendations for Adam’s education. The assessment also revealed that Adam was making great progress in his special day class setting.

Homeschooling is one the latest trends in education nowadays, although the concept of homeschooling originated in the 20th century. This was during the time before public education came into being. It is not until now that it has become a more viable option for many families who have children who are still going to school.

Some of the famous persons that are considered to have acquired a homeschooled education, given the fact that they were self-educated or had availed of the guidance of a tutor include: Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Jane Austen to name a few.

Which only goes to show that individuals who have not acquired a formal education can also become successful in life.

In fact some surveys that were conducted with homeschooled individuals show that more of these individuals are involved in their communities, and have a higher percentage rate when it comes to voting. 58.9% of them also claim that they are very happy with their lives, compared with 27.6% of the rest of the population who also make this claim.

There are many career options that await homeschooled individuals. Surveys show that the preferred occupations that these persons are more likely to choose are: business, computer programming, career in the armed forces, internships, home worker, etc.

But before they embark on a career most of these homeschooled students choose to go to college first. There are a number of colleges that accept students fresh out of homeschooling.

Many highschool students who are undergoing homeschooling simultaneously take college courses to earn credits. These credits count towards the credit their going to accumulate once they go to college. Homeschooled students have been known to score high in college entrance exams.

There are some stereotypical views that have been attached to individuals that have acquired their education through homeschooling. Such as that these individuals tend to be reclusive, antisocial, or extreme in their views when it comes to religion.

But slowly these views are dissipating since homeschooling is now becoming more mainstream.

A lot of parents have become extremely dissatisfied with the way public school systems are run. Not only do they fear for their children’s safety, but the quality of education that their children receive some parents also find lacking.

That’s why a lot of these concerned parents have made the decision to have their children homeschooled. A decision that now seems to be paying off.

Since the past decade the number of homeschooled students has multiplied, now resulting in responsible adults who have stable jobs and thriving careers in their chosen fields of endeavor, proving that homeschooling provides an excellent quality of education.
