Educational stages

School (in March 1998) and got a new job upon main campus. I worked inside the School of Education, Department of Educational Administration & Policy (EAP) at Howard University. I worked as the only liaison between graduate students, the Department Chairperson, and seven other faculty professors. At the beginning of the fall semester 1998, my boss, and I exchanged educational views concerning the economical advantages linked to a college degree. He suggested that I seek out a college

and, thus far unanswered, research questions because previous research studies have yielded equivocal and, often contradictory, results regarding this subject. To be specific, in their 2005 research article published in the British Journal of Educational Technology, Davies and Graff investigated the relationship between frequency of participation in an online discussion forum and academic performance, quantified via final grades, of a sample of 122 undergraduate students at the University of Glamorgan

1. The story I would like to tell involves how I dealt with a difficult situation which continues to shape how I approach problems in my life. The story starts when I was in grade school and involves problems with reading and comprehension. Although I excelled at math and other subjects I really had problems with my reading and writing skills. During this time I felt I lacked the ability to excel in this subject. Throughout elementary school I was assigned to an adult tutor who spent time with

Ever since I was fifteen I wanted to attend college. I wanted to do something with my life and peruse a dream. I knew a college education was an important aspect and I wanted to experience it. I had goals that I wanted to achieve, and I knew it was not going to easy. I need to find a way to support the cost, the illness my mother was going through, and the negative comments I received because, I wanted something better. I believe college is something everyone should at least think about going to

An article by HO, J.D says, “the National Center for education statistics reports an average tuition of 25,409 for the 2014-15 academic year at four-year colleges and universities.” It’s amazing how costly is to get an education.

This book is an emotional roller coaster ride. The moment you start to read this book, you can no longer put it back down. The author of the book “ On My Honor” made opposite characteristics for Tony and Joel. The opposite characteristics of the two characters really caused the plot to be like an emotional roller coaster ride. Joel has the characteristics of a cautious, smart, and usually honest boy.  (Bauer, 1) Joel yelled, “ CLIMB THE STARVED ROCK BLUFF? YOU’VE gotta be kidding! Joel’s spine tingled

Have you ever felt embarrassed about something but didn’t know how to handle it? That was me about reading out loud or reading overall. Reading was a huge problem for me. I never took it serious because I had the attitude, “I will find out how to do it one day.” Baltimore taught me a lot, but it failed me a lot also. What I mean by that is that it will show things that will not help you prosper in life such as how to sell drugs, how to hang out on the corner, and how to shoot and kill people. Although

Scientific studies have established that dropping out is a process rather than an instant phenomenon (Wahlgren & Mariager-Anderson, 2016). This means that a person does not simply decide to stop attending school. Instead, there are many factors that can ultimately make a student decide to not continue attending classes and drop out. For instance, substantial evidence exists that shows that among the strongest determinants of dropping out is poor academic achievement (Rumberger & Sun, 2008). A student

As mentioned by Peterson, K. D., & Deal, T. E. (2009) when it comes to school culture there are many hidden or not visible aspects that need to be considered. For example, we need to take in consideration things that will promote or affect commitment, productivity as well as motivation. As Peterson, K. D., & Deal, T. E. (1999) mentioned, “School culture influences what people pay attention to (focus), how they identify with the school (commitment), how hard they work (motivation), and the degree to

I met with the two participants individually for face-to-face interviews that lasted approximately 60 minutes each. Through a series of both open-ended and Likert scale questions, the semi-structured interviews focused on the participants’ chosen intentional learning activity. The interview included 19 statements that asked the participants to respond with a number valued 0 to 10; 0 meaning total disagreement and 10 was total agreement.
