I said to my friend that it was not so much what happened on 9/11. What concerned me more was the world we would wake up in on Sept 12, 2001. Certainly, our country and the world will never be the same. This gave a different focus to my military career in the hopes of making sure that a 9/11 event would never happen again. With modern war, the home front is as important as overseas. We must be vigilant and studies in such an area as homeland security studies are vital. While this may not be my entire focus, it occupies a healthy portion.
In your fourth question, you ask what my experience is and/or aptitude for completing academic work at a distance. Frankly, I have many friends and family members that have received degrees online. Their main issue (especially with younger people) in dealing with the online academic environment has been discipline. The online environment because of its asynchronous nature demands organization and self-discipline. In my opinion, this will not be a problem in my case. A person simply can not function in the U.S. Navy (especially as an officer or NCO) without discipline. The institution exudes a culture of self and institutional discipline that is in a person's vocational "DNA" after their initial training. This only grows with time and once one reaches retirement in the military, they...
As an undergraduate student at Excelsior, I delivered a 3.75 grade point average. Certainly, the college can believe me when I state that I can definitively deliver similar results in the pursuit of a higher academic degree.
In your fifth question, you ask what special abilities, qualities, or life experiences I will bring to the program. Again, I will draw upon my Naval experience, as it guided my life from 1987 to 2011. First, although I am now what some may consider middle age, I am technologically savvy, a critical skill that is necessary in any online or hybrid learning environment. Managerial office positions require a high technical proficiency. Rest assured, I could not have functioned or succeeded without them. Secondly, the military only trusts classified information, especially at a Top Secret level, to individuals who have passed the strictest of background checks. A special background investigation goes back through 15 years of a person's life to judge their record and their character to make sure that they can be trusted with the nation's most precious secrets. The program can trust me when I say that they are making a superior choice when they approve me for a slot in the liberal arts graduate…
The facilitator spoke directly to individuals, as well as the group therefore extrapolating the true meaning behind some of the participant's comments. For the most part, the facilitator kept the personal bias out and asked tailored and appropriate questions. Surveys and Focus Groups Focus groups are interesting, yet hard to deal with. On the one hand, they allow the public the chance to speak, thus portraying the abstract symbolism and concentrations
Trenton.k12.nj.us). The Board of Education "…shall ensure the acquisition and installation of blocking/filtering software" (www.trenton.k12.nj.us). (d) Determine if a formal investigation is warranted or not. At this point, there does not seem to be justification for a formal investigation. This is a problem that should be reviewed and solved in house. Launching a formal investigation gets the media into the picture and stirs rumors that can be damaging to the school's
Causative Analysis There are several causes to why the students did not pass the state standardized test in mathematics and in language arts. It is strongly believe that the students were not adequately prepared for the test because they had not been completing the required assignments and attending the online classes offered by their teachers. Their lack of School Improvement 7 participation in the class, has lead them to a failing
VI. School Administrator Accountability and Assessment Implementation As an educational leader, the researcher could utilize the newly acquired knowledg relating to the school administrator accountability and assessment by developing fresh ideas/solutions for new challenges. Sternberg (2006) warned that when one tries to transport something that may have worked before to the new setting, without adapting it to the new setting, the transported plan may very well fail. VII. School Administrator Accountability and
Transportation Students who are bussed to a larger school can use the time to be productive; reading, homework, etc. 1.5-2 hours per day of commuting is unacceptable for students and will eat into their family and work time. Opportunities A larger school will provide greater opportunity for social networks, sports, music, drama, and more extracurricular activities. Loss of community will make the younger students uncomfortable as well. Academics A larger school will provide greater academic opportunities for
And when the parent comes to an event held in the classroom, it makes good sense to have interpreters available, and "invite the extended family," which of course is a very welcoming act of kindness and good judgment. The other parent in this list of "types" is the "Busy Parent," who is a person with a work schedule that is hard to get a hold of, or plan meetings
