Recent studies of divorced children in Australia, Canada, and the United States have shown the devastating consequences of divorce and family chaos on children’s education. Australian students appear to be more adversely impacted than those in the US and Canada. Divorce is also more disruptive than death of a parent. Multiple divorces worsen outcomes even further, dropping high school graduation rates to 40% or less.

Australian high school students suffered an average of a 12 month cut in their time in school due to a single divorce in the family. American and Canadian studies fared slightly better, with just under 11 months average reduction in high school attendance. By contrast, the death of a parent resulted in an average of 6 months less.

Although high school attendance and completion rates declined dramatically, university education was not affected much.

This suggests that older children are less disrupted by family chaos and/or that children or more wealthy families that can afford university educations for their children might be less affected by divorce.

Adverse impact of divorce upon education has skyrocketed as divorce has been more common. Divorces in 1920 caused a 3.6 month loss of education, but since 1970 they have blown up to about a year in lost education. This time-frame roughly corresponds with the rise of “no fault divorce” in Western nations.

Multiple divorces had an even worse impact on high school graduation rates. While students who parents stay together average a 78.4% rate of graduation from high school by age 20, one divorce drops the graduation rate to 60%, about the same as for children whose mother or father died.

Divorce and remarriage did not significantly change the graduation rates for children versus divorce with no remarriage.

But with divorce-remarriage-divorce (two divorces), the graduation rate drops further to only about 40%, half of that for children whose parents remained married.

As to causes for these consequences, again disruption to children’s lives, the family chaos, and financial devastation that divorce wreaks on both parents are likely to contribute to worsening educational outcomes.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has embarked on an initiative to collate comprehensive data on higher education which will help in framing academic policies for the future. Simultaneously, the Union human resource ministry has constituted a task force to conduct an all India survey on higher education.

The UGC has issued a proforma to all universities and colleges in the country asking for details of the examination results in recent years, number of foreign students enrolled in their institutions and figures relating to the doctorate degrees and MPhil degrees awarded to research scholars during 2008-09 in different subjects of study.

Besides, the UGC is also updating its directory of professors.

The HRD ministry’s task force would look at key academic data which will help in planning for growth and development, and to achieve the target of 30% Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in the eligible age group.

The mandate for the task force includes exploring the mechanism of conducting an all-India survey on higher education in India, identifying the implementation agency to conduct the survey, preparing the modalities to conduct the survey and subsequently monitoring its implementation. After compiling the data and analysing it, the task force would give its recommendations to the ministry.

According to a HRD ministry notification, the task force will comprise the additional secretary of the ministry, UGC secretary, AICTE member secretary and the vice-chancellor of the National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA).

“The task force shall submit its preliminary recommendations to the ministry to operationalise the survey within two months,” the HRD ministry notification said.

A few months ago, the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education ( TANSCHE) had constituted a two-member expert committee to undertake a survey to ascertain the GER in higher educational institutions in the state.

The expert committee is working on the survey

Master’s degree programs in education emphasize advanced teaching and leadership skills. Students can also select a concentration within the education field. Specialties include elementary education, secondary education, education administration, reading or special education.

Students typically must hold their bachelor’s degree to apply to an online master’s degree program in education, and many universities have a minimum GPA requirement. Some schools also require students to have already earned their teaching credential and hold prior full-time teaching experience. Applicants typically must submit letters of recommendation, multiple writing samples, a resume and their Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores.

What is the curriculum/courses for an MED?

Each school offers a core set of courses that every student must take.

Beyond that the curriculum varies for each major.  For example, students studying for a MED in “Curriculum, Teaching and Learning” may take classes in models of instruction, multicultural education, and curriculum design. In contrast, students studying for a MED in “School Counseling” may take classes in human growth and development, multicultural counseling and the ethics of counseling.  Additionally the curriculum may vary in length.

Program Requirements & Employment

The online master’s degree program in education usually takes two years for students to complete. Some universities require students to compose a thesis at the end of their second year, while other schools allow students to take an examination instead.

There are typically no residence requirements for the online master’s degree program. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), teaching positions are expected to rise as fast as other job sectors from 2008-2018 (www.bls.gov). Teaching opportunities, however, can vary widely based on the grade level and subject.

How will a MED help my career as a teacher?

A MED allows for advanced managerial positions at schools, including working as a principal or guidance counselor. Some MED graduates with a practical background in teaching may work as curriculum coordinators for schools, while others may work as educational coordinators for museums or even as military training instructors.

Price
One of the benefits of taking online education courses is that they are about 3-5 times lower compared to the traditional method of learning these courses. This is because when one decides to study these courses online, they are giving themselves the benefit of no longer having to go to an actual school. This gives them the advantage of saving money on transportation costs right away.

Aside from saving money on transportation costs, the online education courses allow people to postpone their education once an unexpected incident arises. For this reason, they get to stop taking the course for a bit until the time that they are already capable of continuing the study they have chosen. Say for example they do not have the money to enroll in the succeeding course. With these online education courses, they can pay only for the subjects they have taken.

Study at Your Own Pace
Since the available online education courses can easily be taken anytime, people can simply choose when they want to spend their time studying and when they want to work. This is especially beneficial to those who are still working at a full time job. The reason why they take these courses is so they can improve their skills so they can look for a better and more respectable job. By taking these online courses, they are able to hit two birds with one stone.

One on One Tutoring
Because these education courses can be taken anytime and anywhere, individuals are able to take the course without any distractions. Unlike a typical classroom setting, individuals are able to get the information they need without worrying about what their other classmates will say. This gives an edge to those who are shy about mingling with other people.

Inside the centralized study of spiritual counseling students are taught to work with an individual not only on their emotional well being but their mental and spiritual health as well. Students can learn to help people create harmony in these three main areas by earning an education. Spiritual counseling schools offer several higher education studies to meet students desired education level.

It is important to understand that spiritual counselors offer practical and spiritual advice that does not pertain to any one doctrine or belief system. The overall goal is working with an individual on their personal growth. Education prepares students to teach their clients a divine understanding of life that will enable them to find their spiritual identity. Most professional’s work as:

Spiritual Counselors
Ministers in Spiritual Counseling
Spiritual Healers, teachers, or authors

Students can expect to learn specific practices to create a safe environment where clients are able to examine where their fears and pain are coming from.

In a session, work is done to heal an individual’s body, mind, and soul. Depending on the college students can enter training at the bachelor or doctoral level of education and many schools provide certificate programs as well.

Studies encompass many areas that provide a comprehensive understanding of core principles. Studies may include courses in energy healing, prayer, meditation, angelology, chakras, and spirit communication. Counseling courses help students learn to work with a client on several levels while keeping their overall well being in mind.

These courses may include:

*Abundance and Prosperity Counseling

Practiced principles relating to the prosperity and abundance of a person is explored in regards to spirituality. The use and creation of prayer is examined as a form of affirmation by teaching coaching techniques to prepare students for one on one counseling.

*Mediumship Counseling

The point of the class is to teach students how to help others find their own way to receive messages from their personal spirit. Courses will introduce practices that use mediumship as a way of healing grief. Specific counseling methods will be learned to foster healing by helping clients contact their spirit in order to heal and forgive. Core courses may include:

*The Chakras and Healing

The chakras are defined within their separate roles, colors, characteristics, and energy centers. The energy systems of the chakras are taught to teach students to correct imbalances by finding the right balance for different people. Healing procedures are discussed, which helps students understand how the focal points of energy interact with the body and the spirit.

*Prayer and Meditation

Students work to gain practical principles that are used in prayer and meditation. Prayer is focused on by learning how it’s used for petition and praise; meditation is discussed by developing it as a constant form of spiritual growth.

Spiritual counseling studies are available to teach students about counseling others in a specific personal way. By finding the right education program students can begin to approach a career in this field. Explore the options by researching different colleges that are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).

Online learning is one of the components of the broader category of distance learning. This mode of learning generally refers to any learning where the instructor is separated from the students by either, time or location. For a long time, this kind of learning has gone on in form of correspondence studies. There are two types of online learning that are common in today’s online practice. They are asynchronous and synchronous forms of instruction (Kevin, 2009). Synchronous literally means at the same time. In this type of training, the learner interacts with the instructor through the web in real time. In asynchronous training, the student receives work from the instructor for completion at one’s own time of convenience (Fisk et al, 2009).

The synchronous training is currently not very common due to the technicality involved in its implementation. This training requires students who are geographically dispersed to access the same website concurrently with the instructor. In this training, the instructor broadcasts audio materials to the learners through web based audio or teleconference phone call (Kevin, 2009). The instructor uses slide shows which the learners watch while they are connected to the conference website. The students have a chance to interact with the instructor via chat window or by asking audio questions via the phones. This type of training is most suited to academic programs such as college distance learning modules or continuing training programs. Asynchronous learning is more common since it creates an on-demand, just-in-time learning experience for the student (Fisk et al, 2009). In this case students are not required to schedule their times in line with that of the instructor. This training comes in even more flexible forms referred as facilitated and self-paced asynchronous training. In facilitated asynchronous training, the instructor interacts with students at different times (Fisk et al, 2009). The instructor posts materials such as assignments on a web page including all the required references to the students. Students are then able to discuss and interact with each other via threaded discussions and then submit their work via email to the relevant authorities. Students in this type of training enjoy a lot of interaction with other peers on web based discussion threads (Fisk et al, 2009). A limitation in this type of training is the lack of oral communication which implies that hard to learn concept are not properly explained to students.  There is also the challenge of fixing schedules between the students who are geographically disconnected to the instructors. Self- paced instruction is more common in corporations as opposed to academic institutions. In this instruction, stand alone materials are posted on the web by the instructors where they are accessed and completed on the internet. Materials in this kind of instructions could include assessment exercises, discovery learning simulations and guided tutorials.

The evolution and expansion of computer technology has gone hand in hand with a revolution of online continuing education. In today’s workforce, the requirement for professional development through training is essential for one to compete effectively. For working adults, acquiring such needed development requires the input of more time which is limited in light of their family and social responsibilities. The online learning tools were developed as a tool to curtail some of the dilemmas experienced by individuals limited by time and space.  Online learning has been able to overcome the challenges of physical obstacles and time limitations. More and more institutions of higher learning have developed online training programs with accredited authority in a rapid increment as compared to the previous years. The revolution in on-line learning rose from the need for institutions to meet educational desires and pursuits of non-traditional students who are limited in time due to other full time commitments. The invention of the evening and weekend classes did not fully meet the needs for adult education that over the weekends finds themselves tied up to family obligations .Hence, online education has come up as the ultimate answer to such groups of students (Askov & Simpson, 2001). For online education to be successful, it has required that such students be exposed properly to computer literacy. This has been boosted by the skyrocketing of familiarity and public exposure to general use of computers in the last two decades. Internet users in North America have significantly shot up to an estimated figure of 251,735,000, an overall 73.9% increase in North America alone compared to the year 2000 when the estimated internet users were 108,096,800 (Miniwatts, 2009). This is an indication that more and more people are now using the internet. The statistics are an indicator of the potential number of people that institutions doing online training can access with little input of resources. As a result of this, the new millennium has seen large number of institutions actively involved in the development of online programs tailored to meet international standards and students.

Hybrid/ Blended Instruction

A significant number of universities have adopted hybrid learning. Hybrid learning is often used interchangeably to refer to blended learning. In this learning, which is now common in online instruction, the traditional face to face instruction is integrated with well organized web-based modules. In the learning process, a significant percentage of the conventional face to face is replaced by online instruction (Koohang & Durante, 2003). Hybrid learning finds a lot of application in courses which contain practical experiments where students are supposed to do physical assignments as requirements for course qualification. In radiology, this type of learning would be more appropriate since it would give students a chance to interact with biomedical equipments during physical interactions and meetings with the lecturers. The face to face experience also gives learners a chance to clarify questions and explanations that they find hard to grasp in the written materials sent via web. The advantages of this type of learning, as found in literature are flexibility, increased interaction, reduced seat time, convenience, decreased costs and probable increased learning. The challenges associated with hybrid instruction have been cited as the complexity of developing programs that would be convenient for instructors and learners. This is in consideration that online programs cater for students from far regions and countries (Koohang & Durante, 2003). There is also the challenge of allocating necessary time for redesigning courses and adapting students to learn in hybrid systems.

History of online learning

Contemporary information technologies have been used throughout time to create and support educational institutions.  Change in technology over ages has continually forced changes in instructional techniques to conform to the most current and reliable techniques. During the medieval times, educational exchange was carried through oral transmission and students were forced to rely on memory and word of mouth. The invention of paper and the printing press revolutionized learning which was now done using books (Sumrall, 2002). The change to books was faced by challenges such as book cataloguing and this called for the development of systems that could support easy instruction using books. The need to integrate technology with education is a constant requirement as new technology is bound to occur continuously. In the 21st century, the challenge facing education is the need to incorporate the internet and related tools to actualize e-learning (Sumrall, 2002).

There have been external degree programs (via correspondence) for a long period of time. Distance education first appeared in a catalog of University of Wisconsin in 1892 (Wisconsin University, 2005). Australia which is considered a model in online learning had correspondence programs from as early as 1890′s primarily because of sparse population and irregular settlement patterns. In the US, correspondence learning, the model for online learning, occurred as early as 1920′s. Columbia University, for instance offered correspondence programs in 1920. The emergence of exclusive online educational centers has however been more efficiently incorporated with the revolution of computers. The pioneers of online studies in the US were Regents College which offered Regents External Degree programs. The institution is now an accredited school. In the State of California, California Western University was also among the pioneers and is now a state approved institution. The online programs have been stigmatized for a long time with some people seeing them as inferior programs.

Was there nothing more supreme than snuggling down under the poofy down or fuzzy blanket, sipping cocoa with marshmallow, and listening to Mother, Dad, or a beloved elder learn to us from our favourite story books as we settled in for a nap or a full night sleep? Is there nothing as rewarding of nostalgia immediately than our studying those same story books to ourselves just for the hell of it or to our youthful ones o return the sensation we as soon as so delighted in? I think of many ranges, genres, and studying levels once I consider, see, or hear tory books? however I also have a mental listing of those which can be ust reads? those who I would offer anyone who will follow through the suggestion that at any age, it is best to read this or that book. Listed below are a few of the greatest story books for kids AND adults:

Winnie the Pooh ?In graduate college, in the portal course to a level in Lit and Educating Lit, the professor insisted that anyone critical about literature will read Winnie the Pooh.

I still haven gotten the entire nuances and symbolism yet, however I’m engaged on it, just as I’m on

Alice in Wonderland ?The adventures, the originality, the eagerness for language and logic make this a basic on the should-learn story books list.

The Giving Tree, The Missing Piece, and any Shel Silverstein. If having nearly every one in every of his story books banned, threatened, or challenged is any indication that his works are provocative (of their utter simplicity) hen Shel Silverstein (once a writer for Dr. Hook? ought to be at the prime of your list.

Story books like I Love You This A lot will tear your coronary heart out. Story books like The Nancy Drew Mysteries Series or the Hardy Boy Thriller Collection will intrigue. And the Harry Potter and American Woman Series are the trendy equivalents of cceptable?story books for kids, teens, and even some adults. I might suggest Roald Dahl and Robert McCormier, too, although, once more, like Silverstein, these authors do not apologize for his or her brilliance by limiting their range, creativity, or storyline growth and characterization.

If you have young kids and haven heard or thought of this yet, know that youngsters who are read to develop into readers. Some turn into writers. Even should you don have children, the following time you are in a brick and mortar store or looking online at amazon or Powells.com, sneak into the kids?story books section. You will laugh, you will cry, you’ll swoon nd maybe even wish you were a child again, climbing under the covers and settling in for the best part of the day. Or perhaps you’ll wish you had written the story books yourself.

Is what we learn in Schools today worthy enough of the certificate we get at the end of a 12 year period of study? Is bookish knowledge everything to build up a person’s persona? People of the present day would answer ‘yes’. But we can get the actual answer by noticing and comparing our behavior with our parents. The teaching style of course may have changed but it has also changed the behaviors of the people.

We go to schools not only to get score high marks. Schools are also expected to imbibe good moral education from our teachers. Earlier, in Schools the students were taught about the disciplines, etiquettes, how to behave with elders, etc. But, it seems teachers of the present times concentrate only books. They hardly take time to groom the students into making them good human beings. We can take the instance of Gandhiji to know how the students of earlier days were.

Once an Education inspector visited the school in which Gandhi studied.

All the students were dictated a few words. Unfortunately, Gandhiji spelled the word wrong. He wrote ‘Ketle’ instead of ‘Kettle’. While taking a look over all the notebooks of the students, the teacher saw Gandhiji’s mistake. She tried to convince Gandhiji to copy the word from the boy sitting next to him and correct it. But, little Gandhi refused to copy. This act of his displeased the teacher. But Gandhiji did not change his mind. He chose to be stuck with his principle than choosing the path of dishonesty. The moral of the story is, you can win the hearts of people by telling many lies but that doesn’t last for long. If you are an honest person, you might not please everybody but you can at least please yourself.

Such instances can’t be cited today because teachers themselves don’t provide proper education to the students. They prefer providing the knowledge about world affairs more than teaching them the importance of values. Moreover, the teaching style has changed. The syllabus in schools has undergone a vast change. The study pressure on students has become extreme. They can hardly fetch time for anything else. In such a situation, concentrating on moral education is quite a tough thing. Students are more dependent on the Internet now.

The Internet provides a wide range of knowledge to the students. The Social Networking Sites are ruining the moral behavior of the students. Parents wonder why such sites are harmful for the students especially when it’s only about interacting with people. Few know that these sites that vary from dating to live chat and porn which most youngsters get into require them to be above eighteen to get registered with the site. Students virtually meet people of different age groups and land up with unsocial relationships.

The modern education system is overburdened with the syllabus that even teachers copy many materials from Internet and provide them to the students. If we get to learn such things from teachers then it is pointless to expect anything from the students. Moreover, school is not the ultimate place where children can be taught proper education. It is the foremost duty of the parents to teach their children the proper meaning of education.

There is often a sense of progression from fundamental to intermediate strategies being taught, because the videos progresses from one to a few. There exists also a bonus video in which Sam showed me the way to do a freestyle flip. Truly, I had a phobia of making a turn at the conclude of the lap all this time. On the other hand, this move reinforces my knowledge far better, as I’m not that fearful now.

In terms of pace, I benefited in that I can swim quicker and complete my lap rounds more rapidly. By how much? I usually do not hold the actual figure.

I sense extra confident and assured of my diet when it involves swimming nights. As far more of us are aware, very good diet plan plays an critical portion in shaping our bodies and supplying our our bodies essential nutrients which will help us to recover faster from hard instruction.

Furthermore, there are some swimming accessories that could assist us in improving our process in freestyle swimming. And all they are outlined in Brenton’s ebook! This really is cool!
