Teacher Puns

Teacher PunsTutor puns are often used to be quickly put into an art or sport, a person's profession or hobby. The tutor is the teacher in the position of helping you with your own activity and learning through experience. A tutoring friend or relative in the work, parents' home, high school or university will ask for your help by imparting the lessons through time and extra help. You would get to learn more and ultimately pass out your assignment.In the last few years, many different teachers and tutors have come up, including tutors of things like 'I Love You' t-shirts and embroidered t-shirts, books on author, poetry or music, websites that help others and especially book readers. With the help of services such as these, you can learn to become an expert on the art of writing. In this field, there are thousands of opportunities for the new student or simply for the past. Depending on your background, your talent and other supporting factors, you can get to write an essay, outline a nd work on an analytical essay, become a mentor in a school of your own, or learn how to help a non-native speaker. In the future, many more situations and fields can be associated with the word 'tutor'.Besides the tutors that are directly assigned to you or to specific people in the family, there are tutors that can go and be a surrogate teacher for your friends or those that you know very well. These tutors might help you to write an essay, plan a conference or just give you support and help through discussion. Having a tutor pun at hand is very much needed in today's business environment where work is in a rush.Tutor puns are not only used to fill in gaps but also to get people on the same page. Being a bit different, the tutors have varying degrees of accuracy in their judging and each has their own way of giving feedback and answers. It is necessary to have an open mind when it comes to listening to a tutor and you must be patient enough to wait for the right answer, or teacher pun, and to keep a good attitude as well.The tutor is an instructor that guides and teaches you and is the person who introduces the concept of puns. For the matter of fact, we all were taught to speak through sentences, so it only makes sense that we will speak with punctuation in between words to form the words we speak. A teacher pun can be quite useful as a form of instruction for children, especially as they enter school and begin to understand the process of learning.Another teacher pun is when a teacher puns you as a friend or relative. Through the teaching of puns to others, they can show that they understand you and to the tutors, it is a way of showing that you are not difficult or something that is hard to learn. Teachers may even use them as a form of recognition as long as you are agreeable to what you teach others.A tutor pun is used to bring the attention of the audience to the teacher in the form of a lecture, quiz or experiment. When the audience is at a standstill , then the tutor pun can lead the talk by introducing an important new concept or help a reader to read a passage more easily. It can also make the learner to think through a topic or strategy, which the tutor would normally do. A teacher pun is extremely helpful in conveying the information you want to the audience and is a means of rewarding someone for the great effort that the tutor has put into the lesson.

Books Every Student Should Read Mindset The New Psychology of Success

Books Every Student Should Read â€" Mindset The New Psychology of Success Improving Academic Performance As many readers of this blog know, MyGuru tries to be much more than a place where parents and students can look for a private tutor. We are trying to build a community of parents, students, tutors, and other experts where ideas about how to be healthier, more productive, and academically successful are exchanged. With that in mind, in this article I’ll discuss a book which offers powerful ideas to help any student be more successful inside and outside of the classroom: Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck. She helped found a company on the back of her research called “Mindset Works.” This is part of a new series we are launching called “Books Every Student Should Read.” Each book we discuss will be reviewed in the context of a framework we’ve developed called the Academic Performance Pyramid, which says that for any given level of effort, your performance is determined by your: 1. overall health and wellness, 2. Mindset and character, 3. strategies for reaching goals, 4. techniques used when studying and learning new things, and 5. organizational skills. Dweck’s mindset is a cornerstone of the “Mindset” portion of our framework. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck Dr. Dweck introduces the reader to a powerful concept called the “growth mindset.” Her research in psychology has revealed that people tend to think about their intelligence and personality in one of two ways. They either a) adopt a “fixed” mindset, and believe their intelligence, sense of humor, communication skills, etc. are “traits” that they inherited at birth and can’t be changed, or b) they adopt a “growth” mindset and believe that their intelligence and various dimensions of their personality can be adjusted with practice and focused effort. The fixed mindset, for example, treats your intelligence like a trait such as your height. You can’t change your height. The growth mindset views intelligence like a muscle that can be strengthened through training and practice. The Transforming Education blog has an excellent infographic on what a growth mindset is and why it matters. In study after study, Dweck has shown that when students either naturally tend to have a growth mindset or receive growth mindset training such that they are exposed to the differences between the two and are provided with ways in which they can cultivate a growth mindset instead of a fixed one, they perform better on tests and earn better grades. Why would this be? Why is a growth mindset so important for students to understand? There are a few reasons. First, most IQ researchers believe personality and intelligence have both some fixed and some “malleable” or “changeable” dimensions to them. For example, IQ tests try to measure your brain’s processing speed (to over simplify the matter quite a bit). These tests are supposed to be measuring your underlying, genetic ability to acquire knowledge, not the amount of knowledge you currently have from studying and learning. Some studies however, show that with focused practice and/or increased education, IQ scores can drift upwards. IQ scores can be improved, a little bit. So that’s one reason the growth mindset leads to better performance. Some things, like underlying IQ, which seem fixed and which the average person believes is truly fixed, really aren’t, so with practice, performance improves. But in fact, the real “secret” to understanding the power of the growth mindset, in my view, is that the concept of “intelligence” is a very complicated and complex one, and many students believe that performance in various subjects in school has a LOT to do with what you might call “genetically determined IQ” when in fact, it has just a little to do with “IQ” and a LOT to do with how much you practice and how much effort you put in. Students would be better served to ignore the concept of “IQ,” and instead focus on a more broadly defined notion of “intelligence” that perhaps acknowledges the existence of IQ scores on some level, but focuses FAR more on how focused practice and hard work help you acquire knowledge and build the skills that, in effect, grow your intelligence steadily over time. Let me try to be clearer and summarize the main theme of Dr. Dweck’s work in the context of a reasonably complex mathematics class like first semester calculus. This is the type of class that seems to many students like it might be very difficult. And yes, it’s a class you might not take until college, depending on your experience with math. But in fact, doing math is much more like a skill you can build through practice than some sort of IQ test. So sure, some percentage of students will just struggle with comprehending the concepts in calculus. But the successful student in first semester calculus is typically successful because they pay attention, work hard, and practice (i.e., do their homework). I would argue that almost all students who find themselves sitting in a first semester calculus course HAVE THE REQUIRED ABILITY to earn an A or a B, IF they put in the work. The student with a “fixed” mindset though, sort of flips that narrative. They believe their math skill is a fixed trait. They’ll either understand the material or they won’t. If you think this way, you really have very limited incentive to pay much attention and work hard. You may be forced to put in the work because the teacher grades homework or your parents have instilled in you a good work ethic, but in your mind, you feel a sense of futility because you just don’t think that you have much control over your performance. As soon as you start thinking this way, you of course are less likely to pay attention and put in the work. This naturally leads to poor performance, which reinforces the idea that you just aren’t very good at math. With a growth mindset, the whole story works in the opposite direction. You assume everyone, including you, has the intelligence to get an A in calculus, they just have to practice and build their math skills. Since you feel in control, you are MUCH more likely to decide to put in that work and get to a good outcome in the class. The implication is that you are in full control of your academic future, and you could probably pursue academic areas that seem almost impossible. This could mean that a person with an average or slightly above average IQ, if he or she decided to, could become a PhD in Physics with the right amount of focused practice and effort. Most people can become experts in almost any academic area if they decide that’s what they’d like to pursue. Now, can anyone win a Nobel prize in physics or earn a tenure position at Harvard teaching physics? IQ may play a role in allowing you to reach the absolute pinnacle of some professions. But most of the time, focused practice and hard work can get you much farther than many students realize. How do you build a growth mindset? Across the many articles that have been written about the growth mindset and within the Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, I see two basic strategies for cultivating growth mindsets instead of fixed ones. First, take the time to explain to yourself and others about the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, and about the complexity behind the notion of “intelligence” or being “smart.” Imagine two people, Bill and Frank. They are both 30 years old. Bill dropped out of college and works in the family business, and has an IQ score that is 15% higher than Frank’s. But Frank has read 25 times more books, and holds a PhD in Political Science and an undergraduate degree in Economics. He’s written several of his own books. He’s spent thousands of hours in classrooms listening to lectures and writing papers about a variety of topics. Who is “smarter?” Second, when you are thinking about your own performance or that of your children, praise effort, not results. That A in the math class was a result of “how hard you worked and how much you practiced” and not “how smart you are at math.”

Has Feminism Gone the way of Hansel and Gretel A Feminist Response To The Social Construction of Gender

Has Feminism Gone the way of Hansel and Gretel A Feminist Response To The Social Construction of Gender A photo of me from my sophomore year of college. I am a feminist who celebrates my femininity. I feel that history has shown us that enfranchisement in the United States has never lead to immediate equality. The enfranchisement of black men in the 1860‘s certainly did not lead to their equality in the eyes of all Americans.   If in fact, I was to follow the same model that DeFazio has presented, then perhaps the Civil Rights movement “Lost its Way” after enfranchisement, and we can gloss over the Civil Rights movement of the twentieth century. This is what DeFazio does to the second-wave feminist movement of the 1960’s and 1970’s, but many feminists, and people in general, would consider the second wave of feminism to be just as important as the first. DeFazio cites a study discussing the genetic differences between men and women, but nowhere in that study does it say that women are genetically predisposed to be relegated to the private sphere. A major argument of the second-wave feminist movement is that both sexes have the right to pursue careers, regardless of mar riage or familial aspirations. Gloria Steinem, a woman so lauded in the second-wave of feminism she’s almost become adelightful cliché, once said;  â€œIve yet to be on a campus where most women werent worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. Ive yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.”   While this  socially constructed  belief had somewhat faded from public discourse;  Ann-Marie Slaughter’s piece for The Atlantic  last year reminded us that the marriage/family debate is still one that women have. I would ask DeFazio if he is interested in having children, and if so, is he concerned with balancing being a parent with having a career? Gloria Steinem in the 1970s, an important period for the feminist movement. Photo Credit: http://wearethefishers.blogspot.com/ I’d also like to admit that the marriage/family debate, which while is still a prevalent part of feminism, is just one small piece of the puzzle. Never mind that sexual violence, domestic violence, women’s reproductive rights, and the fact that there are gender dysmorphic people who do not fit into the two prescribed gender roles, all are things that feminism seeks to have discussions about. I’m just frustrated with the notion that feminism has “lost its way.” All movements change, and there are many interpretations of feminism. I agree that there are biological differences between the sexesthe sexes, but not the genders. Gender is the social interpretation of sex, and often, the two are confused because of how powerful social construction is. While you may not agree that gender is socially constructed, the social construction that masculinity is the dominant sex is pretty hard to ignore. You may think those of us in the academy who argue for social construction of gender a re wrong, but there are many of us who are feminist in different ways.  My favorite tumblr  is a constant reminder of how important feminism is to people. Feminism has not “lost its way.” It was never on one path to begin with.

Angel, age 10 Alison Mori, Kumon Instructor

Angel, age 10 Alison Mori, Kumon Instructor Angel, age 10: Alison Mori, Kumon Instructor When Angel, now 10 years old, was in the second grade, his parents were presented with disheartening news from his school. He faced demotion for not meeting state curriculum standards. A special needs child, Angel was under an Individualized Education Program (IEP) at his school. His parents challenged the potential demotion and were able to get additional support from his school, preventing the decision. To ensure Angel was being provided with a learning environment paced to his individual abilities, his parents also enrolled him in the Kumon Reading Program just before he began the third grade.  According to his mom, “[Kumon] has given him the academic guidance to independently flourish into his own and to be his best.”   As Angel entered the fifth grade, he achieved Kumon’s advanced reading comprehension award, reading two years above his grade level. Not only that, for the time ever, Angel is proficient in all his subjects at school. Three years into the Kumon Program, Angel has evolved from a quiet and shy boy to a confident Kumon Honor Roll student. At school, he joined the chess club and ballroom dancing program. He has also earned Certificates of Achievement in the NYC Recreational Parks Swimming Program where he achieved two levels of swimming instruction. Alison Mori, his Kumon Instructor, looks back to the day when Angel first stepped foot into her learning center. Little did she know that the once shy, eight year old who struggled with sounding out words is now studying critical reading and analysis at age 10. “He’s more comfortable with reading aloud and his confidence has improved immensely. I am truly proud of his progress, he is a superstar,” says Alison. He is currently studying level H of the Kumon Reading Program, which enhances comprehension and summarization skills. When a support system is consistent and strong, special needs transforms into an inspiring display of strength and accomplishment. “We all have to work together in order to achieve success,” says Alison.

Creative writing, talent or skill

Creative writing, talent or skill Writing of any sort is not easy but perhaps creative writing is the hardest of all. Creative writing falls into the fiction/non-fiction or poetry categories, but essentially it's purpose is to express thoughts, feelings and emotions, rather than to simply convey information. Perhaps you have noticed that your child has a vivid imagination and loves reading books and inventing his/her own stories? Perhaps you are an adult and have always wanted to learn how to transfer your thoughts and emotions to paper but don't know where to start? Although there are many websites about creative writing, dedicated to both adults and children; a private tutor can provide invaluable help to boost the imagination and master the techniques of creative writing. There has been much a debate on whether creative writing is an inert talent or learned skill. Most experts would agree that it's a bit of both - skill and talent can work together. If English was always your best subject at school and you also enjoyed the lessons, this could be an indication of what you wish to study for a future career. Creative writing is a skill and that's why we have this category in our Arts Crafts website together with many other skills: drama, painting, photography to list a few. Just like other artists, musicians and other creative people, they all follow a similar path - a passion hones through years of learning and practice. True dedication will result in truly wonderful writings.
