Social Reform

Do you have a nagging feeling that something’s missing from your church experience? You’re not alone. And it’s time to discover a better way. Church-reform advocate and Bible scholar Peter DeHaan, PhD, is a strong proponent of meaningful Christian community.

The problem is that today’s church follows an Old Testament model.

Hasen uses riveting stories illustrating four factors increasing the mistrust.

Pockets of incompetence in election administration, often in large cities controlled by Democrats, have created an opening to claims of unfairness.

Over the decades, the Mastery Learning method has seen a resurgence in terms of positive research. Such a method is needed to help address the student achievement gap. Many schools are improving or adequate on their own, but a methodology that ensures that students both master material and do so using their respective motivations and learning style can best address said achievement gaps.

Listen to Secret to Success: The Evolution of Public Education & the Workforce, which was originally written in 2019, to learn about changes that were already happening or being done in public schools that cause problems in our everyday life as business owners, employers, job seekers, kids in school, and really everyone in some way or another.

The purpose of this research is to examine the ways in which mentoring affects black graduate students' completion of programs of study. Performance is measured by completion of their graduate program, length of time taken to complete the program, grade point average, and overall attitude about their graduate school experience. On average, over half of all black graduate students leave their programs of study before completion compared to 25 percent attrition (non-completion of program of study) of white students.

Il problema dell'educazione appare oggi uno degli argomenti caldi e maggiormente discussi soprattutto fra i non addetti ai lavori. Esso riguarda infatti non solamente la scuola in generale ma, nel complesso, la persona e la società. Riguarda non solo la didattica ma tutte quelle situazioni nelle quali si verificano fenomeni che influiscono sull'apprendimento. Tali situazioni necessitano di interventi specifici, che vanno affidati a persone competenti e preparate, soprattutto quando si tratta di ambito scolastico.

Reform and revitalization in higher education are essential elements for the Ummah’s awakening and for the realization of its civilizational aspirations and the success of its global mission. This paper calls for reforming our approach to education particularly through the Islamization of Knowledge so that both divine and human sources are integrated into a powerful whole with Revealed knowledge providing a comprehensive, spiritual and moral guidance in the sphere of human action, universal laws, and scientific and technological knowledge as tools for that action.

Transform your classroom with the power of Artificial Intelligence: engage, enlighten, and elevate your teaching game! Teaching is a fulfilling job, but its not easy. You spend most of the week planning lessons, doing paperwork, making choices all while living your own life too. This means sleepless nights, stressful deadlines, and a never-ending to-do list.

Les jeunes français, qui disent vivre leur quotidien "sous pression", sont les plus pessimistes de tous les Européens (Galland, 1997). L'école occupe la majeure partie du temps des lycéens, elle est au centre de leurs préoccupations et sa place est déterminante dans la réussite de leur vie. Il va de soi qu'il faut travailler à l'école pour réussir dans la vie ; il va de soi qu'on ne peut pas réussir sans avoir été "sanctifié" par l'école. Pourquoi l'école est-elle si importante et centrale dans la vie d'un lycéen en France ?

Le scuole private clericali sono floridissime in Italia. Nessuna legge ne inceppa lo sviluppo e la libera esplicazione. Esse possono fare la concorrenza che vogliono alla scuola di Stato. Se sono migliori, se dànno ai frequentatori una istruzione migliore di quella che sia possibile trovare nelle scuole pubbliche, esse possono moltiplicarsi all'infinito, possono far pagare le rette che vogliono. Lo Stato riconosce il diritto di comprare la merce «istruzione» dove si vuole.

Despite a perfect storm of hostile forces that are robbing children of a healthy childhood, courageous parents and teachers who know what’s best for children are turning the tide. Johann Christoph Arnold, whose books on education, parenting, and relationships have helped more than a million people through life’s challenges, draws on the stories and voices of parents and educators on the ground, and a wealth of personal experience.

As the revenues generated by big-time college sports continue to skyrocket, virtually all of the debate involves whether (and how much) student-athletes should be paid for play. Kenneth L. Shropshire and Collin D. Williams Jr., argue that "student" has to come first: the focus should be on prioritizing a meaningful education. They draw on new research to reveal that it has become increasingly difficult for college athletes to balance school and sports, much less a social life, leading to serious economic, professional, and emotional consequences for young people.

Stoicism, one of the oldest Western philosophical schools, has enchanted scholars and the general public alike for over 2,000 years. Where some accounts of human nature and the particularly human good fall short by the reduction of human being to physical or psychical phenomena, Stoicism's power lies in engaging with the whole range of human experience, addressing rationality, emotion, piety, will, and both inner and outer impressions, each on their own terms, in language that treats each as significant in its own right.

To get the most out of your college education, you need to choose your classes wisely - and increasingly, that means choosing STEM. Today's job seekers should have at least a basic understanding of trigonometry and other science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects more than one-point-three million job openings in math and computer-related fields by 2022. The purpose of this book is not to push you into a STEM career; it is simply to provide you with information and perspective, as well as a few questions that, if answered honestly, will help you plot out an educational and career pathway that will help you achieve your dreams.

I went into teaching to change the world. Instead, my students changed me. These are some of my stories. I tell them at a time when education's gone from being a noble pursuit to the epicenter of a national storm. Good teachers are leaving the field at staggering rates.

In the aftermath of the 2010 election, George Megalogenis considers what has happened to politics in Australia. Have we entered a new phase with minority government and the rise of the Greens and independents? Hawke, Keating and Howard years were ones of bold reform; recently we have seen an era of power without purpose. But why? Is it down to powerful lobbies, or the media, or a failure of leadership, or all of the above?
