Texas education is ranked as low as 50th What should we do to improve the quality of K-12 education in Texas?

Recently, the State Board of Education made national news for altering the K-12 textbook content and curriculum to reflect their ideological views. Texas education is ranked as low as 50th in effectiveness among the states. What should we do to improve the quality of K-12 education in Texas?

You guys should reverse the recent ruling of taking Jefferson out of Texan text books. That would be a good start. Also put a bit more effort into separation of church and state, that might get you Texans out of that situation.

How much more education would it take for a nurse to become a teacher?

I am stuck between the 2 careers so i am wondering i i get my RN degree and decide i want to be a teacher later how much more education do i need? bachelor of education? or do i have to complete an undergrad degree again then take the bachelor of education degree? i seen nurse educator degree but i think that’s for just working in universities and colleges that are training nurses right? or can you teach science to high school students with that as well?

The answer to your question depends on several factors. 1) The state in which you live as the rules for credentials vary by state 2) Do you have a BS or a BA in nursing or are you a nurse that does not require 4 years.
You might be able to just take a semester of education classes and student teach if you have a 4 year degree. Another option would be to become a school nurse.

How does a good education in mexico translated to america (and the other way around)?

Obviously this is an extremely broad question, but i’m more interested in the general translation. If someone received a high school education in Mexico, would they be considered educated in America (or conversely). What are the focuses of education in Mexico in comparison to America? Anything you want to add would be helpful as well. I’m looking at education for a cultural anthropology project.

The standards do vary by country and what is considered good in one country is not necessarily considered good in the other./

Skyrocket Your Pay by Enrolling in a Canada Distance Education College

The existence of the Canada distance education database is as a result of the combined efforts between the Canadian Association for University Continuing Education (CAUCE) and the Ontario Council for University Lifelong Learning (OCULL).

As you may be able to tell by the names of these groups, the database was set up for those that already have a degree, but need or want continuing education credits.

If you are interested in Canadian distance learning and you do not currently have a degree, there are many institutions that offer online college courses.

Additional examinations may be required depending on the field that you plan to go into. However, if you want to improve your earning potential, in less time than you may have thought possible, then a distance education online degree is the first place to start.

What type of fields can you get into with Canada distance education? Several courses are available on their online distance education websites. Online university programs are particularly of high value to American and Canadian citizens that are temporarily outside of North America.

Whilst credits received from an online college are sometimes not transferable to other schools, it is highly probable that your credits will be accepted, should you decide to go to a conventional university in the future.

The fields that are available for Canadian distance education include business management, criminal justice, security, culinary arts, education, computer sciences, liberal arts, communication, health, psychology, real estate, web design and many others. One, two and four year programs are available. Basically, the sky is the limit to what you can learn.

There are many reasons why people choose Canadian distance education. You might have a full-time job that prevents you from attending regularly scheduled classes. You might have a family that needs your attention. Online courses simplify the whole matter. You learn at your own pace, when it is convenient for you.

In case you need convincing, there are many reasons to go back to school. You have taken the first step by searching for Canada distance education. Now, it is time to commit. Why?

The current state of the world economy is “rough”. Those people with degrees will be able to find and hold jobs, through these difficult times. A Canadian distance education program can allow you to compete, without interfering with what you already have.

Recent reports suggest that particular degrees will be in increasing demand in the foreseeable future. Health care degrees are number one on everyone’s list of “best choices”, largely because of increasingly high numbers of elderly people. Canada distance education could allow you to find a satisfying healthcare career.

If you aren’t “into” health care, there are several other popular programs such as Finance and Information Technology, that are also available. A Canadian distance education degree in an IT field will allow you to qualify for those jobs, when they are available. Right now, there are plenty of them.

The tuition fees of Canada distance education schools is comparable to that of traditional universities. In some instances, the costs are less. Colleges need students, as much as you need an education. Don’t put it off. Apply now.

What education is required to become a personal trainer?

What education or training is best to learn stock trade?

I want to learn to trade stocks, do I need a certificate?
What is the best way to learn to trade stocks? Do I need a formal education or can I do this on my own?
I am deciding on a college? If you think college is best, which degree program?

Simple- open up an account. You pay for each trade that you make too. Well, you have to pay in general. Scottrade or Ameritrade are servers that offer stock trading. You need money though to buy stocks, sell them, and short them (for me the MOST important and MOST difficult).

Don’t need a certificate. Go do it on your own, business school teaches you this stuff but I saw from my dad that he learned it on his own completely. Go to investopedia.com to learn about the vocabulary. For college, they don’t teach you ONLY this stuff. You have to take a lot of other courses so you can’t exactly focus on just stocks. Mutual funds and bonds are involved too. All of this is called "investing" lol.

Stock brokers might let you intern with them if you show them that you know something.

What education would I need to work in the Psychological Department of a Hospital?

I’m interested in going into this department. What high school and college education would I need in order to get a good well paying job in that department?

To get a job that pays well in the psychology department of a hospital, you would likely need an M.D. (work as a psychiatrist). You could work with patients as a master’s level therapist, but they do not make much money at the job ( don’t count on more than 35k-40k, and even that could be pushing it). With a bachelor’s degree in psychology, you could work in the department as a psych tech, but your pay would scarcely rival that of working at your local McDonald’s (sad, but true).

Education in Afghanistan

Afghanistan has been a land of challenges. Whether it’s political turmoil, financial anxiety, land mine nightmares, constant coups or recurring wars, Afghanistan has bore the brunt of its ugly fate. To achieve constant progress however, the country has tried to overcome various problems and has successfully emerged up in many situations. Take its Education sector for instance. Plight of education in Afghanistan had seldom been fine, until King Zahir Shah came and took serious actions.

King Zahir Shah (early to mid 20th Century) built primary schools for students under the age of 12, along with strengthening the secondary school system and increasing the number of national universities in Kabul. This move was a first step towards laying a stronger foundation for education. Though a large part of population still remained illiterate, it was a bold move nevertheless.

Then in the mid 1980s the country had around 800 primary schools, 300 general secondary schools and about 6500 students in Kabul University. Such low figures are due to the widespread destruction that took place, which also eliminated up to 80 percent of the schools and colleges. Resultant, a large portion of Afghanistan generation grew up without any formal schooling.

The year 1996 once again marked a setback for Afghanistan education sector. The then Taliban regime most ferociously banned the education for females in Afghanistan and evolved mosque schools (madrassa) for primary and secondary education.

The 21st century has marked a shining phase in the Afghanistan Education. From a “no-education-for-girls”, the scenario shifted to “separate-education-for-girls”. In 2003, the girls and women shed off their
camouflage and enrolled themselves in schools and colleges. Though they shared separate facilities, but they were given the right to study nonetheless. The transition is subtle, but sure.

Few of the named Universities of Afghanistan that have carved a niche in their education sector are as follows:-

• Kabul University
• American University of Afghanistan
• National Military Academy of Afghanistan
• Kabul Institute of Medicine
• Polytechnic University of Kabul
• University of Pedagogy

These estimable universities constitute a major chunk of illustrious scholars, and are gaining popularity with each passing day. Kabul University in itself presently holds 10,000 students, out of which 2000 are females. An educated mind is also an enlightened one. Hope the improvement in the Afghanistan education sector also paves the way for stronger community base.

What education do I need to become a commercial airline pilot?

This is something I am REALLY passionate about.
I am in 11th grade and need to start thinking and making choices about what to do for college.
I do not know what education is needed.
Thank you so much for answering!

1. Stay in school and get your 4-year degree. Most airlines require one. They don’t generally care what the degree is in, they just want one.
2. Stay away from drugs. Stay away from people who do drugs. This includes grass.
3. If you drink, NEVER drink and drive—a DUI is a career killer
4. Avoid getting tickets. Many airlines require that you submit your national driving record with your application. Too many tickets=no interview.

You are speaking of entering a career that is incredibly unforgiving of any offenses involving the police: DUI, drugs, assault, etc. The company will, some day, launch you in a 150 million dollar jet, and have to just trust your judgment. Your record needs to be spotless.

You must be in reasonable health to fly. Before you start making career decisions, make certain that you currently meet the medical requirements by finding an AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) on faa.gov, and taking a Class I Physical. This is even more true for the military.

Flight Training:

You can go to an aviation college, and get the training along with the degree. I am a little concerned with what an aviation degree does for a person who suddenly because of health or other issues, can’t fly. San Jacinto has a 2-year program that gets an Associate Degree, and all the ratings. I am certain that there are others. After that, you can move to another college and finish out a 4-year degree in some fall-back area. Total cost will probably be somewhere in the 70K range, and student loans are available.

Get your 4-year degree, and then attend an accelerated program such as ATP, where you will spend 50-70K, loans are available, and get all the ratings in about 3-9 months.

Go to your local flight school, and take the training there. This will sometimes be a little hodge podge, and the schools can be all over the map in terms of quality of training and equipment. I live in a major metro area, and I know of only three local flight schools where I would have or have sent my children, or that I am willing to recommend. These schools, no matter what they say, just aren’t geared to getting you through quickly. Plan on at least 2 years from start to finish. This might be cheaper than any of the other options, until you consider the opportunity cost.

After you get your 4-year degree, go to the military. The upside is that you get to fly some really neat equipment and serve your country, assuming that you are a US citizen. The downside is that, if you are not s..t-hot, you may find yourself flying some really mundane equipment, and you are still committed to a long time in the service. I think the current commitment is 10 years, Did I mention that you might get shot at! When you separate from the military, if you can find a slot in the Reserves or Guard, it can be a real godsend if you are furloughed. You just go back the the military until the furlough is canceled. It can also help bolster your pay during those lean first few years. On the other hand, many military pilots separate with less than 1000 hours, so they, after 10 years in the military, still have to go to the Regionals to build time. So the upgrade to the Major can easily be 15 years after college graduation, or 37+ years old.

My suggestion is that you go to the local airport, find a school that has reasonably new and clean aircraft, and take a few lessons. Maybe even go through the complete Private course. If you really struggle with this program, then maybe professional aviation isn’t for you. Everyone hits bumps in the road, but if you are one of those people who can’t solo after 30-40 hours, then you either need a new instructor, or you may not be cut out for this job. If you already possess the 4-year degree, then IMHO ATP is the best/only way to go because it will get you done in a very short period of time. Remember the clock on the end of your career is already ticking. If you don’t have a 4-year degree, then you have some time to explore the other options.

I have seen a lot of guys go through ATP, and be hired by a Regional less than one year after solo. That is NOT happening in the current economic climate, but will probably happen again in the future. When is anybodies guess.

Good Luck

What education training is required to work in a hotel or at the airport or such?

I’m currently working as a bilingual secretary (don’t have higher education yet) but i want to build myself up as i go on, that may be helpful but obviously it’s not enough, what can I do?

what does this question have to do with the education of students with special needs?

What is your philosophy of higher education?

I am trying to write a paper for one of my classes, and am having a hard time finding information on the topic. Our prof wants us to get others philosophies of higher education and evaluate them and come up with our own. However, when I search "philosophy of higher education" all I get is info on PhD programs! So, if you are a higher ed administrator or an educator, what is your philosophy of higher education, or what is your college’s philosophy?
Also if you have any tips on where to find this information, or better ways to search, please let me know!
Thanks for your help!

One reason why you may not be finding anything specifically on this topic is because it is subjective and interpretive.

My opinion is that higher education is fine if it has a practical application. For instance, practicing law or becoming a doctor but there are many other professions where this could hamper the individual. From a professional aspect, the worst Engineers I have ever had on my staff or worked with me are PhD’s. Their minds are developed in such an analytical manner that they become dysfunctional. Also, this is compounded by people who achieve degrees all in the same field i.e. engineering. I think it is great from a science perspective but from management or operatability it is useless.

I would rather see an Engineer with an undergrad and MS or a MBA rather than a PhD anytime. To this day, I wont higher PhD because I have no use for them.

What education do I need to become an Apartment Manager?

My Father is looking into buying about 15-20 apartments. He would like for me to get an education in order to become a large part of running the complex. It’s an investing opportunity, and my father honestly doesn’t know anything about it himself, so he’s basically counting on me to do it all. I am very interested though.

In the case of the apartment building I used to live in, a third grade education was sufficient for the manager.
