College Algebra Facts: Exploring the Concept of FactoringCollege algebra is a way of learning the math equations that make up mathematical concepts like multiplication, division, and area. It is important for students to understand the concept of factoring. Factoring is an important concept to have in place to reduce a problem.If a student knows how to use the right way to solve a problem, then he or she can come up with his or her own solutions to problems that may arise in their lives. The first step to solving a problem is to identify it. If a student is not able to identify a problem, then it is impossible to address it. Once a student identifies a problem, the next step is to determine how the student will solve it.College is a time to learn all that you can.

Teach Away Telegram - August 2011

Teach Away Telegram - August 2011 In the August edition of the Teach Away Telegram, we discuss whether or not international teaching is a feasible long-term career option. We also have a look at a very exciting teaching program that recently launched in the Republic of Georgia. And finally, one teacher shares what he learned while teaching in the United Arab Emirates â€" and why he is going back this fall!If you have any feedback on the Telegram, or if there is a particular topic you would like to see featured in an upcoming issue, please feel free to drop us a line. We love hearing from you.Happy reading! - The Teach Away TeamIn this issue:Teaching Overseas: A Long-Term Option?Georgia On My MindTwo Years in the UAE: A Teacher's StoryTeaching Overseas: A Long-Term Option?Teaching overseas for a year is often considered something one does after graduating university. Let’s face it, if you’re a native English speaker, possess a Bachelor’s degree, and you are open to new countries and cultures, teaching English ab road for a year is one of the best ways to get some of that desperately needed experience - and money - after university.As the emphasis on English language learning extends to more and more countries around the world, the need for English teachers grows in unison. Many governments have recognized that in order to develop as a nation, communication in English is key. Because of this, these governments have initiated education reforms - the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia are two countries that come to mind - focusing on introducing English to their youth, and in some cases, through immersion with other subjects like Science and Math. Private organizations have also used these government initiatives to develop their own English schools to not only teach English to children, but also to adults.All this growth is great, but can you teach overseas and still raise children, stay connected with friends and family, or even save a substantial amount of money? Is a long-term career oversea s feasible?In short, yes.Since the need for teachers is always growing, many international teaching programs now offer longer-term renewable contracts, as well as family allowances in order to attract a larger pool of qualified teachers. Opportunities allowing family visa sponsorship and comfortable accommodations are becoming more common; some also subsidize schooling for children.Staying connected with family and friends back home shouldn’t be much of a concern, especially considering the technological era in which we live. An internet connection and a webcam, along with some well-timed scheduling, are all it takes to see and talk to those you miss.Now, after considering family and friends, many people think about finances. Initially, teaching overseas may not seem to be the most lucrative option, but the cost of living is much lower in many countries, and this can add up to substantial savings for teachers. With the appropriate credentials and experience, more lucrative program s with salaries approaching $6,000 US/month are also accessible.Let’s think about all of this for a second:Teaching overseas provides you the chance to travel and experience another culture, learn a new language, build upon your resume, earn a steady income, live comfortably, bring a family in some opportunities, and still stay connected with family and friends. And of course, you’ll be able to meet new people, many of whom are teaching overseas and connecting via social networking pages like Teach Away’s Facebook page. So, what may have once been considered as a quick stint to build some experience and earn some money after graduation has quickly blossomed into a very feasible career option. Adventure and stability now co-exist teaching overseas.  Georgia On My MindHave you heard of Georgia? No, not the US State home to Coca-Cola’s headquarters, CNN, or any one of Ted Turner’s moustache-sporting enterprises; but Georgia, the country positioned at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.Ever since prying itself free from Soviet reign in 1918, the country has been trying to re-establish itself as the world power it once was during the reign of the Roman Empire. The country’s economy has recently experienced a major shift since the government announced an initiative to focus on building English language skills through the Teach and Learn with Georgia Program (TLG).This program, aimed at public schools from the primary to secondary levels, allows native English speakers from Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa to work alongside a local Georgian teacher to teach English. As education is a priority to the Georgian government, resources and support for teachers in this program are on the rise. In fact, Georgia’s Ministry of Education has given so much attention and funding to the program that at present, 75% of all classrooms now have computers and high-speed internet.But the focus is not only on classes and student success. Teac hers are being supported as much as possible as well. Foreign teachers are provided the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Georgian culture by staying with a host-family, traveling to famous areas including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains via organized tours, and dining on delicacies including khachapuri (cheese bread) and khinkali (a Georgian take on dumplings).With 6-month and 12-month teaching contracts available that offer stipends equal to what many local Georgians earn per month, this is a great way for anyone with the minimum of 2 years of post-secondary education to travel, teach, and experience life overseas.For more reasons why Georgia should be on your mind, contact us here at Teach Away, or better yet, apply online.  Two Years in the UAE: A Teacher's StoryThis month, we spoke to Milad Mazaheritaghizadeh, who recently finished a 2 year contract in the United Arab Emirates. Milad taught grade 2 in Al Sameeh, Al Rahba, about 30 minutes from the city of Abu Dh abi. While Milad is currently enjoying some time in North America with friends and family, he is gearing up to return to teaching in Abu Dhabi this fall.When we asked Milad why he applied to teach overseas 2 years ago, he cited the need for a new challenge as his primary reason. “My friends were talking about this opportunity in the Middle East. After some time, I thought why not?” He had been teaching in Toronto for 2 years and the drastic change of pace the United Arab Emirates seemed to offer appealed to him; he was ready to try something new.Despite being ready for a change, Milad admits, “The UAE was not what I expected. I thought it would be more traditional, because it’s a Muslim country. It was much more Westernized than I expected, and it definitely caters to expats. In terms of the actual classroom experience, I didn’t know what to expect.”As it turns out, Milad suggests the best attitude is to expect the unexpected. When he first started teaching in the UAE, t he education reform project in Abu Dhabi had just launched. Resources were scarce and most classrooms were bare. Now, schools are improving the number of resources available to students and teachers, and there is an increasing amount of support available to staff.“The worst thing a teacher can do, in my opinion, is expect teaching in the UAE to be like teaching in Canada or in the US. There is definitely a different way of life, and you learn to adapt to it. You learn to go with the flow. Don’t ask why the little things are the way they are; you’re just there to do the best job you can do. You have to see it for the great opportunity it is.”While many teachers make the move to the UAE for the lucrative tax-free salary, in order to gain more teaching experience, and to experience teaching in a different setting, Milad says that teaching overseas can definitely advance one’s career. “Teaching in the UAE allowed me to experience new things, grow as a person, experience diff erent teaching styles and different education systems, and develop my adaptability as an educator.”When asked why he will be returning to the UAE this fall, Milad talks about the best part of the job: improving student achievement. “It’s a great feeling to see an actual change. You see a substantial change in the kids, whereas in North America, results aren’t that dramatic. You’ll see kids make huge strides in their language ability level, and that’s the best part.”

Online Classes To Enhance Your Leadership Skills

Online Classes To Enhance Your Leadership Skills pexels.com Since it is an online class, you will not be physically meeting with people, but you will be most likely video chatting them of sorts and having that interaction. This builds leadership qualities because you have to initiate, evaluate and recommend. This all goes into managing not only your personal views, but also the classes when conversation gives. Creative writing classes force you to open up, face a room (even if it is a video chat room), and articulately state your position on a matter. You take away a special form of experience, and this allows you to further your knowledge on being a great, well-rounded leader. Going outside of your comfort zone teaches you a lot about what you are capable of, people. Take a research seminar. Hearing the term research may immediately make you cringe and internally cry, but there actually are research methods that are of your interest. I know, a tad difficult to believe. For instance, you can research the best fall styles, or why stars fall, or maybe even how to hold an audience when giving a speech or writing an article. The options are endless and I guarantee there is an online class that appeases you. A research seminar does what it sounds like, which is a conference detailing your area of research. In this case, the meetings probably take place relatively a few times a week and you discuss your personal findings. And what better way is there to learn how to be a competent leader than learning more along the way? There is none. This helps with leadership characteristics because you are forced to divulge and effectively express your topic and what your analysis is showing. Once again, it will be online so you will have to adequately voice your research via video or voice, so articulating your words is only half the battle. You will be fine though. Take a management class. This is a popular class offered mainly due to the fact that it helps. And that is the entire point, right? Most people have to manage, whether that be their time, money, or even people. If you lack that ability, then you are only making your job that much harder on yourself. So might as well learn how to better your managing skills. A lot of classes that you would want to take are in fact listed as an option. It does not just have to be a business analytics class, but a class that serves of interest to you. It can be about learning to cook, sew, or how to be happier. They all exist and help us lead correctly. Or if anything, teach us on how not to lead. That is always a smart learning approach. pexels.com Management classes can sound overwhelming and even slightly boring, but you just have to go into it with an open mind. You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself and how that affects other people when you are their superior. This way, you are once again effectively communicating. Online classes can definitely be intimidating, as well as prove to have levels of difficulty. You have to not only motivate yourself to “attend” class via a screen, but also take away from the learning opportunity. It can be a lot. There are endless subjects that you can take your class on, but you want to enroll in a lecture where you are going outside of your comfort zone, learning lessons that will apply to your situation, and gain knowledge on a certain subject. Half of being taught these leadership skills is actually using them in the real world. If you are able to get your point across and be the best manager that you can, then you are on your way to becoming an even better leader. Go get ‘em.
