			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diploma programs can help you to get a new job &#8211; or even move up in your current position. Online diploma programs are an outstanding way to pursue dedicated training or continuing education courses without having to attend campus-based classes. Most employers look at additional training as an indicator that you are interested in furthering your career.</p>
<p>Diplomas are a substantiation of performance and they show a fulfillment of required and established standards of knowledge for a specific area of study. Diplomas greatly increase your professionalism in a given field. There are many popular and exciting diploma programs available today to those who want a competitive edge in the job market.</p>
<p>Diplomas in Web Design for example are particularly popular. Students are finding that earning a diploma in Web design can open the door to the world of computers. Web design students learn the fundamentals of functioning in the World-Wide Web atmosphere with an emphasis on Web page design. Students will learn basic HTML, graphic design elements, animation and JavaScript. A diploma program in Web design will introduce students to a range of site design templates used in personal, commercial and government web sites. Students will eventually be able to design their own web pages and web sites using the tools and training they acquire in the course of study. Graduates of diploma programs like this will be ready for entry-level jobs in the field of web development and design.</p>
<p>Along with web design inevitably comes a need for web security. Unscrupulous individuals often find ways to invade and destroy business&#8217;s databases and websites &#8211; often to steal confidential customer information. This has brought on a need for professionally trained network security professionals. Network professionals understand that managing a secure network is not only important, but also very difficult. Getting a diploma in a Network Security program will teach you about the hardware and software that is necessary in this area of work. There are often many computer information systems classes that need to be passed to receive a diploma in network security.</p>
<p>For those who are pursuing advancement in their careers, diplomas are the perfect way to gain the knowledge necessary to succeed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people have probably never considered what life is like for children and teens who attend a boarding school rather than a traditional school.</p>
<p>Basically, a boarding school is one where the students not only go to school on campus but they also live on campus in a dormitory setting. It is sort of like college for younger students. Can you imagine being six or seven years old and living not with a family but instead with several other kids your own age? Each child either has a room of their own or perhaps shares a room with another child around their same age. Every boarding school has house parents or dorm parents that bring supervision to the children and teens and that provide parent-like comfort and safety.</p>
<p>Many young children cannot even handle going away from home for a week of summer camp. Children who attend a boarding school must learn quickly how to adjust to life without parents because they rarely get to go home and see their families throughout the year. Often children begin attending boarding school at the beginning of their schooling and they remain in boarding school until they complete high school. Some may go home for a Christmas holiday or for a visit in the summer months, but rarely do boarding school students have consistent interaction with their families.</p>
<p>Why would parents send their children to a boarding school? That is a legitimate question that has many answers. Some parents that work overseas or that travel frequently choose to put their children in boarding school because they know how inconsistent they will be in parenting or in providing for the needs of their kids. Other parents choose boarding school for their children as a way for them to experience more of the world and to learn how to interact with diverse people from a young age. Still other parents put their children and teens in boarding school if they are having trouble disciplining their kids or keeping them out of trouble. Boarding school can be a great place for kids to learn responsibility and discipline.</p>
<p>Attending a boarding school produces mixed reactions among children and teens. Many enjoy the opportunity to live with their friends and to enjoy the freedoms of not being with their parents all the time. For students who began attending boarding school at a young age, many enjoy their lives because they do not know any different. Of course there are always students who get homesick or who would prefer to live with their parents and attend a regular school.</p>
<p>Regardless of the pros or cons of attending a boarding school, boarding school really is a world of its own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking to teach an online course for the first time? Or have you already taught online but are looking for some tips to help you become more effective?</p>
<p>The world of online learning is expanding at a rapid pace.</p>
<p>More courses are being offered and more students are enrolling every semester. And while teaching an online course can be done while sitting at your computer in your pajamas, being an effective online instructor requires a good deal of practice and preparation.</p>
<p>Of course, teaching online does take away the face to face involvement with students. Nothing can take the place of seeing a student smile after finally understanding a difficult concept.</p>
<p>But online teaching can be even more rewarding than on-campus teaching, when done well.</p>
<p>What makes an effective online instructor?</p>
<p>While good teaching involves a large number of qualities and techniques, effective online teaching centers on three main points:</p>
<p>1) You must be clear about your expectations!</p>
<p>Since students are not sitting right in front of you, it is extremely important to be very clear. Since you cannot see the students, you cannot see them sitting with a puzzled look while nodding their head in agreement.</p>
<p>How do you know if you are clear enough?</p>
<p>• Ask the students.<br />
• Carefully evaluate the quality of the work, and how close the finished product matches the instructions.<br />
• Have a colleague read your material before the course begins.</p>
<p>If student evaluations are distributed at the end of the semester, you can use the feedback to help you improve your course and teaching techniques – but keep in mind that by then you can no longer help the students learn what you want them to learn!</p>
<p>2) You must communicate frequently…and effectively!</p>
<p>Most students will expect you to be sitting at your computer whenever they send you a question by email. Of course, that is not practical, nor is it reasonable. So it is a good idea to give students a time frame in which you will respond, with 24-48 hours being typical.</p>
<p>And it’s not enough to just communicate frequently. You must also communicate effectively. While some students (especially new online students) will want you to “take them by the hand” through each step, if you already have clearly written instructions, you can direct them to the instructions.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that most students are not asking you questions to bother you – usually, they just want to make sure they are doing what you want them to do. So be understanding, even when you get questions that make you shake your head.</p>
<p>If you get the same questions frequently, it is a good idea to save the questions – and your responses – to create a “frequently asked questions” section.</p>
<p>3) You must let your personality shine through!</p>
<p>If students just wanted to read a book, they wouldn’t need you to read it for them. So, when teaching online, avoid taking the “easy way out” by simply posting a few readings and having students answer the questions:</p>
<p>• Add a little of your personality to your assignments and communications (but be careful when using humor, as it is difficult to convey online).<br />
• Give real life examples that you have learned from being the subject matter “expert”.<br />
• Create interesting and interactive assignments to help students really learn the material.</p>
<p>Good teaching, like being good at anything, takes practice.</p>
<p>If you are clear…if you stay in close contact with your students…and if you create an interesting learning experience, you will be the online instructor that students want to learn from!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with all public schools across the nation, New York schools have standards in reading and mathematics that must be met by its students.  Unfortunately, many students fall short of the standards and their families are not in a position financially to provide the extracurricular tutoring that is required to improve the skills of their children. The New York schools do not want to see any child at any grade left behind and provides the solution.</p>
<p>The New York schools have student academic intervention programs that provide the needed tutoring, counseling and teaching of skill sets.  The New York schools services are a supplement to the general teaching curriculum.</p>
<p>New York schools students who are academically at risk and need assistance in the areas of English language arts, mathematics, social studies, and/or science are candidates for intervention. The New York schools support may address the areas of guidance, counseling, attendance and study skills, all of which affect a student’s ability to perform well academically.</p>
<p>The New York schools academic intervention may be offered during regular school hours or during an extended school day or year, depending upon the school.  New York schools educators determine the need for intervention. It is not something that may be requested or refused by parents, though their cooperation can make a difference between success and failure of the program.</p>
<p>If a child in the New York schools is determined to need such intervention, the parents are notified in writing, telling them of the commencement of the program for their child, what services will be provided, the reason intervention is required, and the consequences for the student of not achieving the expected performance levels. New York schools communication with the parents is ongoing and encourages their cooperation and participation in the program. There is at least one consultation a semester with the classroom teacher and other New York schools professional staff, who are assisting their child. Progress reports are given the parents at least on a quarterly basis. Additionally, information is provided to the parents on how to work with their child to improve academic achievement, how to monitor the child’s progress, and how to work with New York schools educators to improve their child’s achievement.</p>
<p>New York schools student academic intervention is determined as follows:</p>
<p>•	Kindergarten through grade three —<br />
1)	Student lacks reading readiness, including knowledge of sounds and letters, and is based on appraisal by the New York schools; OR<br />
2)	Student is at risk of not meeting the New York schools’ required performance level in English language arts and/or mathematics. This may include diagnostic screening or vision, hearing and physical disabilities; and limited English proficiency determination.<br />
•	Grades four through eight —<br />
1)	Student scores below the state required performance level on one or more New York schools elementary assessments in English language arts, mathematics, social studies or science; OR<br />
2)	Student is at risk of not achieving New York schools standards in English language arts, mathematics, social studies and/or science. This may include diagnostic screening or vision, hearing and physical disabilities; OR<br />
3)	Student is limited English proficient and at risk of not achieving New York schools standards in English language arts, mathematics, social studies and/or science by using English or their native language. This may include diagnostic screening or vision, hearing and physical disabilities.<br />
•	Grades nine through twelve —<br />
1)	Student scores below the New York schools required performance level on one or more state intermediate assessments in English language arts, mathematics, social studies or science; OR<br />
2)	Student scores below New York schools required performance level on any one of the state examinations that are required for graduation; OR<br />
3)	Student is at risk of not achieving New York schools standards in English language arts, mathematics, social studies and/or science. This may include diagnostic screening or vision, hearing and physical disabilities; OR<br />
4)	Student is limited English proficient and at risk of not achieving New York schools standards in English language arts, mathematics, social studies and/or science by using English or their native language. This may include diagnostic screening or vision, hearing and physical disabilities.</p>
<p>The New York schools student academic intervention is ended, when a student successfully meets the state’s required performance level in the areas he or she was having difficulty.  Though school standards are now the norm across the nation, the New York schools are going one step beyond to ensure students meet those standards.</p>
