Aspiring Food Critic Hopes to Travel the World One Day

Aspiring Food Critic Hopes to Travel the World One Day Aspiring Food Critic Hopes to Travel the World One Day Noki, 11-years-old, Math Level I In just the fifth grade, Noki is already far above his peers. Thanks to the Kumon Math Program, he’s working on challenging algebraic concepts, such as factorization and quadratic functions. Having been enrolled in Kumon since he was six years old, Noki has overcome many challenging math concepts, and continues to keep pushing himself. He credits Kumon for molding him to be a more independent learner and helping him stay ahead academically. “I stay motivated to do Kumon by looking back and seeing how much I have improved in academics and just the basics of work in general,” said Noki. “I know that if I can keep it up, then Kumon can really help me take that next step to achieving my goals and to become a better person. Also, Kumon can teach me how to do daily work and be more independent.” Noki hopes to one day become a food critic. “I think it would be great to travel around the world, trying different foods, and sharing my thoughts on them with other food lovers,” said Noki. While Noki maintains a well-rounded schedule, he’s able to balance his extracurricular activities and academics. This school year, Noki was elected as student body vice president. Basketball is his sport of choice, and he plays on two different teams. For the past two years, Noki has been playing for a club called Mentally Fit, a non-profit organization lead by current and former athletes with collegiate to professional experience. This organization prides itself on teaching young players valuable life lessons including teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship, while still having fun in the game. Noki even credits Kumon for helping him develop the right amount of discipline, which he applies in his basketball practices. “I use my mental training from Kumon to get through the repetition of practice in basketball,” said Noki. Noki has also been a long-time member of an Asian American Basketball League, comprised of young male athletes across Southern Los Angeles. He has also taken his athletic abilities to the court with volleyball. This past year, Noki made the Manhattan Beach Surf Volleyball Club, a highly competitive and award-winning club in his local area. Noki’s accomplishments don’t stop there. As a budding viola player, he passed through the audition process to become a musician for the Manhattan Beach Strings â€" Honor String Orchestra. The young musicians who make up the prestigious orchestra are the most advanced string students selected from each elementary school in the district. The musicians can take their years of lessons and school band experience, and apply that in an orchestra setting. Noki’s hard work and discipline has not gone unnoticed, as he was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Noki about his Kumon journey thus far. How has Kumon helped you inside of the classroom? Noki shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe The math concepts I am learning in school have been far easier for me because of Kumon. I can finish my math classwork and homework in class. This allows for more time after school to spend on basketball and volleyball. What do you wish to accomplish in Kumon? I want to reach Level J in the Kumon Math Program this year! How has Kumon helped you beyond academics? Kumon has helped me better understand that things can always get harder, and when things do, you must keep trying your hardest until you finally grasp the concept you’re working on. Another way it has helped me was by teaching me to remain calm and not get frustrated when the work became difficult. I feel that it has developed my brain to better understand how to solve a variety of problems which has aided me in almost everything, even in sports. What did it mean to you attending the Student Conference? I have never been chosen for anything as big as the Student Conference. The conference made me feel that my Kumon work is important, and that I too am important. That alone makes me want to work harder in Kumon. What advice do you have for other Kumon Students?

Make Your Student Coaching and Tutoring Strictly a Private Matter

Make Your Student Coaching and Tutoring Strictly a Private MatterThe most famous coaching and tutoring slogan is 'This is your life.' Often repeated and etched into the minds of the students, the slogan sums up the importance of doing well in school and beyond. Whether it is the task at hand or personal challenge, the slogan describes all that the tutors, teachers and coaches wish to teach and guide their students in achieving success in their lives. If you wish to set a good example for your kids, you should make sure that you promote this slogan.By doing so, you would help your student's self-esteem and also instill confidence in them. While talking about education, one of the slogans that you should promote is 'You are a genius'. This is the reason why many tutors and college admissions officials use the term 'genius' when they want to describe how their students have made out in school and beyond. If you want to set a good example for your child or to motivate yourself, this is w hat you need to say. It can be used as a great coaching and tutoring slogan.Coaching and tutoring slogans like this are very much appreciated by coaches and tutors. At times, their services are required and sometimes, they have to travel as coaches for their students. You would need to share the benefits and rewards of having a coach on your team.As coaching and tutoring slogans are created with the sole purpose of motivating and teaching, some companies that offer coaching services have certain stipulations regarding how they work and how they communicate with their clients. These stipulations can be beneficial in creating a winning coaching and tutoring team. However, there are times when the coach or tutor is a part of a team that is very much focused on doing the exact opposite.Coaching and tutoring slogans should not be used in such a case. That is why, you should exercise caution when you promote and present this slogan in a certain situation. If you want to give your coaching and tutoring a special emphasis, then it is advisable that you use your coach or teacher in a very similar way as you are. In short, such a coach or teacher should work according to your need rather than the other way around.Since, you need to have a good amount of flexibility while talking about your coach, you should talk only about him or her, but not other employees working under him or her. Do not use terms like coach trainer when talking about them. What matters is that your coach is your coach and your trainer is your trainer. If you try to compromise, then you will not get anything worthwhile from this coach or trainer.Coaching and tutoring slogans can be a powerful tool in motivating and educating your students. It is only appropriate that you be prepared for that and not overuse it.

Why Women Outnumber Men In Higher Education

Why Women Outnumber Men In Higher Education The business and higher education landscapes are changing, and no were not talking about the Internet. Were talking about women and minority groups enrolling in colleges at record-breaking rates and now beginning to earn more advanced degrees than men. The most recent census figures released in April 2011 show that women now hold more advanced degrees (masters, PhD degrees) than men for the first time, according to the Associated Press and an article in the Wall Street Journal. Women have outpaced men in bachelors degrees since 1996. Roughly 20.1 million women have bachelors degrees, compared to about 18.7 million men. Women have exceeded men in college enrollment since the 1980s, and now thirty years later, they exceed men in advanced degrees earned. Men still hold more professional careers in business, science and engineering than women, but the gap is narrowing. The increase in women with advanced degrees is causing the number of stay-at-home fathers to rise. There are now 2 million stay-at-home dads or 1 in 15 fathers. The number of stay-at-home mothers has also decreased to 5 million last year or roughly one-in-four married women, down from nearly half of married women in 1969. Many sociologists believe that a general perception change of family and the workplace is playing a major role in these figures. Many believe that since the 1960s and 1970s, women have become progressively more accepted in the workplace, and lately men are becoming more respected as stay-at-home fathers. For adults, 25 and older 10.6 million U.S. women have masters degrees or higher, compared to 10.5 million men. 10.2% of women have advanced degrees, compared to 10.9% for men, but the percentage for women is increasing rapidly. The pay gap between men and women has also decreased in the past decade. Women now make 78.2% of what men earn, marking an increase from 64% in 2000. Women also have lower unemployment numbers with 8.3% of women being unemployed compared to 9.3% of men. Lately, the Obama administration has been using these exact numbers to encourage young men to attend college in an overall effort to increase the number of American college graduates by 2020. Obama plans to retake the global lead in producing college graduates that America once held. The Obama administration has targeted nearly every group, men, women, African Americans, Hispanics, etc, promoting college enrollment to help Americas future economy. Typically, the government promotes more to groups that are underrepresented in colleges.

Behaviour Management Techniques that Work

Behaviour Management Techniques that Work Behaviour Management Techniques for Teaching and Tutoring ChaptersWhy You Need Effective Behaviour Management TechniquesThe Classroom Management Techniques that will Change Your Life as a TeacherMaybe you became a teacher or tutor because you love your subject and want to share your passion to the next generation. Maybe you joined up because you find kids inspiring and insightful and wanted to help them grow. Or maybe it was because you just loved the idea of teaching.Something you maybe hadn’t expected was that, in your classroom or your tutoring studio, behaviour management would be something you would be doing the most. Dishing out a reward for positive behaviour and a punishment for those who misbehave â€" or hearing your kids calling out, endlessly off task, or misbehaving in all sorts of other ways.It’s classroom management that teachers find most exhausting â€" beside the paperwork and lesson plans at least. However, it doesn’t need to be. Because effective classroom management doesn’t need to be all about punishing and prais ing. It’s not about discipline or managing kids that aren’t behaving.No, behaviour management is something much broader than this, and much deeper. It’s about the strategies and methods that teachers and educators use to help children make the most out of their learning â€" and achieve success. So, forget the image of the teacher merely enforcing classroom rules or getting angry at disruptive behaviour. This has long been seen to be fairly ineffective.Rather, let’s think about different ways to manage the classroom environment. From cooperative learning to encouraging curiosity, here are some classroom management tips that go beyond merely telling children off. You’ll be a more effective teacher â€" and you’ll have happier kids too.

Without them, nothing, quite simply, can be done: without classroom management techniques that work, there is no chance of being able to even teach.This makes behaviour management strategies the fundamental elements of a good teacher’s arsenal â€" whether that’s as a school teacher or a private tutor. The possibility of student learning â€" and, later, student achievemen t â€" comes from effective management skills, appropriate behavior, and, ultimately, mutual teacher-student respect.Because, even as a private tutor, you are not only teaching your young student the content of whichever subject they are learning. Rather, through your classes, they will develop their social-emotional skills, their respect for the social contract, and their own interests and curiosity.This is what class management should nurture â€" not just that kids shut up and listen to what you are saying. This approach is good for neither you nor the child.If you want to know about behaviour management theories, check out our article!The Classroom Management Techniques that will Change Your Life as a TeacherBehaviour management is not just about classroom discipline. It’s about building and facilitating a learning environment animated by curiosity, by respect within the teacher-student relationships and among the class, and by willing student engagement. It’s this, rather tha n discipline as such that encourages student learning.Here are the tips that you need to help cultivate such an environment. Kids love to work togetherLet Students Help Decide the RulesRules are something that are really quite necessary within a school context. However, to develop class rules that your students will understand and respect, it is helpful to develop these rules with the kids themselves.Asking your students what they consider to be appropriate classroom behaviour is a good way to start at the beginning of the year. Discuss this with your class and turn the conversation to the appropriate and fair consequences for those who do not stick to the agreed rules.It will be a fun conversation and it will give the students an active role in developing expected behaviour â€" meaning that they will have signed up to it already.Remember the RulesOnce you have agreed on the rules together, you’re going to have to remember what was agreed. Too many teachers are inconsistent with their application of rules â€" and this doesn’t give their students the framework that they need for things like positive rei nforcement to be effective.Consistency is one of the crucial qualities you need when hoping to manage a classroom. It enables the children to remember what to expect â€" and consequently, how they agreed to behave.Being able to whip out the piece of paper on which you wrote the agreed rules makes for a handy piece of theatre in the future too.Remind the Students that They Have Responsibilities TooGood classroom behaviour is not just about sitting still and answering questions when asked. Your students have responsibilities to the class themselves â€" and reminding them of this is an important part of creating a harmonious atmosphere.Giving students responsibilities gives them a stake in the upkeep and management of the classroom â€" and they are usually quite proud to be trusted with such tasks.At the same time, it takes some of the pressure off you too: you don’t need to do everything in the classroom â€" and your pupils don’t want you to either. A well-behaved class?Set Topics and Tasks that are Open-EndedCuriosity is one of the most important virtues in children â€" for self-growth, the development of their own interests and individuality, and for important skills in later life. Enabling your students to develop this is a crucial part of behaviour management too â€" as, usually, when kids are engaged in tasks that interest them, they are much less likely to engage in disruptive behaviour.Setting tasks that are open-ended, student-directed, and led by the children’s own curiosity, interests, and creativity is a great way to develop this virtue. They don’t always need to be led by strict, content-based learning objectives â€" as sometimes the most important lesson is in the search.Encourage Students to Develop Their Own InterestsThe same applies here too. Students, as much as teachers and tutors, can feel a little strait-jacketed by the curriculum and lesson plans sometimes. And even if it is within the context of what ne eds to be learned, it is important to give your class the opportunity to develop their own interests and pursue them with everyone else.Whether this is as part of a particular case study or for a research project at home, giving the class an opportunity to pursue their own interests shows them that their interests are valid â€" whilst they might be informative and interesting for the rest of the class too.Be a Good Role ModelIf you want your students to behave, it is helpful if you stick to the rules that you have outlined too: if you don’t want them to be late, it is best not to be late yourself, for example. Or, if you want them to bring their homework back for a particular day, it is best if you mark their homework for the date that you have agreed too.This is important, because kids do have an acute sense of injustice and unfairness â€" and it is not fair if you something is expected of them that is not expected of everyone.All in all, this amounts to being a good role model. And whilst this might sound like a give with teachers, we know that not all of us are.Encourage Mutual RespectIf your students respect you, then great. If your students respect each other, then even better. Developing an environment in which everyone listens to everyone else â€" and in which everyone feels comfortable â€" is almost the ultimate aim of good classroom management.It’s not good enough that the children only listen to you, and only do what you ask personally. Rather, finding effective ways to get everyone knowing each other and cooperating is the way to build respect among everyone in the class. Behaviour management is so important.Maintain Good Relations with the ParentsIt doesn’t take place in the classroom, but there are few things that have such an effect on the classroom as the attitudes and actions of your students’ parents.Get them onside and keep them there â€" and report to them all the excellent work that your students have been doing. Being congratulated by their parents for work they have done in class is a great way to get your students onside too.Watch Out for Your Response to Situations.Finally, classroom management isn’t only about the behaviour of your students. If you have made a lot of effort to develop their respect, remember that this is easily lost too.Try to avoid ever losing your cool â€" as students remember this.Find out why behaviour management is important!

This will supply you with the skills and knowledge to become a geography teacher yourself, with you taking the reins of the class!Leeds Trinity University offers such a course, which will help you to cultivate a love of our world, which presumably led you to study geography in the first place! The course takes a year if you study it full-time, and two years if part-time.Continuing Professional Development in GeographySomething else you might consider is Continuing Professional Development courses, which are offered by most academic institutions and help professionals learn the skills and develop the knowledge to progress in their careers. Both the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett University offers CPD courses, which, if you are in a different stage in your career to the A Level students, might be preferable for you.At Leeds Beckett, geography-based courses are offered in Environmental Health, Travel and Tourism, and Outdoor Adventure, whilst the University of Leeds’s cou rses are rather more academic than practical: these are in Environmental Assessment, Water Consultancy, and River Basin Management.ConclusionLeeds has a lot to offer in any field, not least in geography.

While there are obvious drawbacks, like not having access to a boxing ring or unlimited equipment like heavy bags, jump rope, mitts and jump rope - training at home also has a number of adva ntages.For one thing, the only thing you’ll need to start your amateur boxing career is great Wi-Fi. In order to begin or continue learning boxing online, you must make sure you have good internet connection to help keep your boxing workouts uninterrupted.A quarter of an hour before your session, turn on your computer to allow it to update if necessary: the older your computer is, the longer it will take to get started. Launch your choice of video conferencing software (Skype, Google Hang Out...) and check that it works correctly.You should also make sure to prepare the materials and gear you’ll need during your boxing class: boxing gloves, a heavy bag or any other personal boxing gyms equipment. At the beginning of the course, make verify with your boxing teacher both of you are receiving the right signal: no sound or picture shift, good sound and picture quality, no unwanted mute or freezing frames.The instructor should see you correctly, preferably in a well-lit room and in d aylight. You should also have a clear view of the coach - after all, you’ll want to be able to see to follow along with  the movements. Sound quality is equally as important, you’ll need to hear the instructor’s corrections, encouragement and be able to ask questions when necessary.Before you start to take boxing lessons on the internet, check your equipment with a friend or family member. Test the sound quality of your microphone, the image quality of your webcam and the quality of your internet reception. Without this, it will be difficult to take individual distance boxing lessons.If you are taking a video boxing class, already recorded and without a live teacher, we advise you to let the video load to ensure it won’t get stuck in the middle. Other than that, get ready to experience what some gyms and shadow boxing simply can’t teach you: confidence in your skills!Take a look at some of the best boxing blogs for more advice! Becoming a professional can start by practicing boxing at homeThe Distance Boxer’s Warm-UpWhile boxing is a great aerobic body workout that can help you get in shape, it is, like all combat sports and martial arts, traumatic for the body. Even without all the gear a professional boxer has in their arsenal, like focus mitts and hand wraps, this high intensity sport can be dangerous when not practiced with the guidance of an experienced fighter.This is why it is mandatory to start a workout with a complete warm-up. Whether you’re kick boxing or getting personal training in Muay Thai, warming up can prevent injuries to your joints and muscles. Getting a knockout should be the least of your worries with professional boxing if you can’t even make it through practice without a cramp!A good warm-up lasts at least 15 minutes but can be longer depending on your physical condition, instructor and the duration of your boxing class. Warming up properly can also help you get fit faster.Usua lly, you’ll start with cardio training by simply jumping on the spot in order to increase your heart rate. The trainer can also ask you to use a jump rope. Both movements are an excellent way to gain in explosiveness, speed of movement and endurance.The trainer can offer you deep, muscle-strengthening exercises to improve your accuracy and agility. In boxing, people tend to place the majority of their focus on working the muscles in the upper body when, in reality, the you should be working your entire body.The centre (abs) is important for stability, while the legs allow you to kick quickly or be quicker on your feet. You will therefore practice weight training exercises and work on your flexibility during the warm-up. It is important to stretch the wrists and arms properly so as not to risk injury.During your class, your instructor will show you proper form, technique and tips to improve. Make sure to pay special attention to the corrections and critiques your coach gives you du ring the warm-up as it will lay the foundation for an effective workout.Here are some boxing YouTube channels to get you started!

This is the basic boxer position: one arm forward, the other backward, legs in flexed, ready for action. Position is essential and plays a major role both in protecting the boxer and in the power of the shots you will deliver in an attack.You will then learn to reproduce a number of different punches. Observe your trainer carefully and pay attention to their explanations. The problem with distance boxing lessons, whether it be a circuit training bootcamp or fitness training with heavy bags, is that the instructor cannot physically correct your positions. Make sure you listen extra carefully to their  advice and pay close attention to your position.Your coach can also teach you sequences or combinations to practice through shadow boxing. Boxing is a bit like dance in the sense that you learn specific choreography to “perform” and it is a full body workout. T he objective is simply different. Combinations allow you to sequence shots, gain speed, strike with force and learn to dodge shots from an opponent.Here are some more tips on finding boxing lessons online! Train all your muscles with simple exercisesStretching at the End of your Fitness WorkoutWhile working on that punching bag or delivering jabs to that double end bag can be exhilarating, the most important part of your workout is stretching your muscles properly at the end of your boxing class. We suggest taking 10 to 15 minutes, allowing you to stretch each part of your body and relax.Your joints are put under stress in boxing, so it is important to stretch the muscles around them in order to prevent long term damage. Toning and working your lower body are important to any fitness classes, but in boxing, you’ll have to work equally as hard to stretch this area properly. Stretching also makes it easier to develop muscles, reduce your recovery time and sleep better after an intensive session.Resources for Boxing Gym Classes OnlineWhether you want some advice on boxing equipment to buy or on improving your boxing stance, the internet is your best tool to reach your fitness goals. The re are dozens of websites and YouTube channels dedicated to providing total body, HIIT and kickboxing workouts for those interested in improving their boxing skills.You can also use boxing forums and online communities to make your own virtual boxing team.
