Remedial

Remedial Reading: Is It The Definition Of Insanity?

It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again always expecting a different result! Whoever said practice makes perfect was definitely not trying to teach a child with learning disabilities to read, write or spell! It suddenly struck me how true this definition is of traditional methods of remedial reading.

Now please don’t misunderstand, I am not accusing reading teachers of being insane (although if you spend long enough trying to teach a child with learning disabilities to read you may inch closer to it). Teaching children with learning disabilities is a noble and often painstaking profession. It takes a lot of time, energy, patience and skill to do the job well. Of all these, possibly patience is the most difficult to come by, because as you go over the same principles and reading texts again and again, teachers, parent and the children themselves become very frustrated, and very discouraged.
Surely There Must Be A Better Way!

Doing something over and over again can be beneficial if the person involved has the ability to change and learn rapidly. But what happens if practice doesn’t make perfect, it just makes huge amount of frustration? What happens if the child continues to make the same mistakes page after page, day after day, month after month. They’re trying hard, the teacher or parent is trying hard, but the only progress they’re making is destroying their relationship!

What if there was something you could do that would INCREASE the child’s ability to LEARN TO READ? Something that was not as painful as reading, something that you could see and measure progress in and something that the child could walk away from saying, “I can do this!”

Train The Right Things

The old story of the two axeman is applicable here. Remember the story of how one kept chopping wood, kept trying longer and longer and yet day after day he chopped less trees. The other took some time out of his busy day to sharpen his axe, and managed to chop more wood than his colleague. So perhaps it is time to take a break and sharpen your child’s axe!

The great news is that, as a practitioner working in the filed of learning disabilities for over 20 years, I have had enormous success caring for children with learning disabilities in my community. What has brought such success and stopped the painful remedial reading syndrome? Training the skills that are needed to do the job.

Vision is the dominant sense, with over 80% of all information in the classroom coming in through the visual system. So, it makes sense that, if we train these skills to be more effective, we can make the process of learning to read far easier.

This training goes beyond the simple ability to see: It involves eye coordination, focus, visual memory, sequencing, whole body development, left-right awareness and a whole host of visually related skills. All of these can be improved, usually very substantially, by doing the right therapies, and thus reading can be improved as a consequence.

How Can This Be Done?

Until recently this form of training has only ever been available directly from the practitioner. So, if you did not have a Behavioral Optometrist in your area, you could not help your child in this way. But I have spent the last year modifying my therapy program so you can do it in your own home for a fraction of what you would pay a qualified practitioner, anywhere in the world. It takes only 20 minute a day, it has clear and concise instructions and you will see your child improving within 6 months if you follow the therapies correctly.

What is an IP address?

What is an IP address?

What’s my IP address?, Every computer connected to the Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

IP Search is IP addresses consist of four numbers separated by periods (also called a “dotted-quad”) and look something like 127.0.0.1.

Since these numbers are usually assigned to internet service providers within country-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the country from which a computer is connecting to the Internet.

Because the numbers may be tedious to deal with, an IP address may also be assigned to a Host name, which is sometimes easier to remember. Hostnames may be looked up to find IP addresses, and vice-versa.

At one time ISPs issued one IP address to each user. These are called static IP addresses. Because there is a limited number of IP addresses and with increased usage of the internet ISPs now issue IP addresses in a dynamic fashion out of a pool of IP addresses (Using DHCP). These are referred to as dynamic IP addresses. This also limits the ability of the user to host websites, mail servers, ftp servers, and DNS servers. Dynamic DNS services can be used to provide DNS records for servers running on dynamic assigned IP addresses.

How does the MSDS “Material Safety Data Sheet” authoring system work?

How does the MSDS “Material Safety Data Sheet” authoring system work?

Authoring Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) can often be an arduous task which unfortunately many companies face. A company might have a limited software budget, limited amount of MSDS/SDSs to author on a yearly basis, lack of time or expertise, or even overburdened Environmental Health and Safety staff. All of these can contribute to the MSDS authoring obstacles that many companies face. To simplify the process of MSDS authoring, the best route a chemical company can take is to get in touch with a “Chemical Regulatory Compliance Company”.

In order for the regulatory company to be able to author an MSDS you must provide the following items and specifications:

1.What country do you want your MSDS to be compliant in? 2.In what language do you need the MSDS authored in? 3.Full formulation of the product is required in order to analyze the composite in detail: a.Name of each component in the formulation b.CAS Number of each component c.Percentage range for each component 4.Existing MSDS or Technical Data Sheet (if available) that contains any physical/chemical specs, such as pH, flammability, flashpoint, color, odor, etc.

Once the MSDS is fully authored, the supplier of the chemical product must ensure the following:

1.The person to which the product is being sold has full access to the correct MSDS at the time of sale. 2.The MSDS must be submitted to the purchaser in the correct official language of the jurisdiction. If this is not specified to the supplier, then the language in which communication has been transferred between the supplier and purchaser is acceptable. If more than one language is requested, the supplier must comply with the demands of the purchaser. This may result in multiple MSDS’s, one for each official language within the jurisdiction. 3.The MSDS, if submitted over the internet, must be in a fully readable manner when downloaded by the purchaser. There must not be any pages or sections missing from the MSDS, and it must be in the same complete and final form as any paper copy of the same MSDS. 4.The exchange or download of the MSDS by the purchaser must take place at the time of sale of the chemical product.

Once all of the above requirements have been met by the supplier, the purchaser can give a written consent that all of the documentations have been received at the time of perches.

What “Cleaning Companies” need to know about MSDSs “Material Safety Data Sheets”?

What “Cleaning Companies” need to know about MSDSs “Material Safety Data Sheets”?

In order for a “Cleaning Company” to do its job, chemical products must always be involved.

However, no matter how many or how few chemicals you use, it is important that you have the MSDS for each cleaning product. One should note that an MSDS is not only important to have on hand for safety reasons but it is also a WHMIS “Workplace Hazardous Material Information System” requirement. These sheets must be available to employees; in fact, an employee can refuse to Work with a product if not shown the product’s MSDS.

If you are not sure where to get an MSDS it can be obtained from the manufacturer or supplier of that specific product. If your supplies come from a janitorial supplies distributor they will either have the MSDS or be able to get if from a janitorial suppliers distributor, or the main manufacturer. If you buy supplies from a big box store or over the Internet, the supplier might not have the MSDS for the product. In this case, you will have to get it from the manufacturer or you may be able to search for it on the Internet.

Employers should carefully read over the product’s MSDS before using it and share the information with employees. Invest some time into learning product properties, as it can protect your employees, and keep your cleaning company out of trouble in case of a spill or accident.

These are the main details you should look out for and pay close attention to while reading an MSDS:

1.Hazards Identification

2.Composition/Information on Ingredients

3.Fire Fighting Measures

4.Accidental Release Measures

5.Handling and Storage

6.Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

7.Physical and Chemical Properties

8.Stability and Reactivity

9.Toxicology Information

10.Ecological Information

11.Disposal Considerations

All of the above listed points are the most important facts a “Cleaning Company” needs to look out for in order to keep its employees, company, and the environment safe and secure.

Branding Lessons: Build School Culture and Identity with A BRAND

Branding Lessons: Build School Culture and Identity with A BRAND

You’re an educator and you are starting to think about branding. Of course, you can’t help but do this. When I am asked in business settings about my ability to work within the business community, since my perspective is informed by education, I simply smile and say…”I’ve been in the business sales all my life. I’ve sold “education” to a diverse marketplace: students, teachers, parents, administrators, school board members and the community.”

So today, with my sales perspective, I’m traveling the country speaking to educators about the common ground of educators and business people. The ground of selling and living a BRAND for ROI in education.

Let’s capture one Branding definition to work with. Branding is a total experience for the user that is based on relationship. It’s more than a logo or a tagline.

If we lead with that principle, then as educators, we should feel a good fit. Education is about building relationships. Educators work hard to do honor that, and have their own tools that make this harmony of relationship building happen everyday in schools. SO with that in mind, can a school culture be created through strategic understanding and a champaign to advance a brand? Can this result in brand loyalty among students, teachers, parents, administrators, board members and the community?

To define what education is today is as challenging as defining what a brand is. There are many ways people try to define both, and branding is in essence solid and changing at the same time. That is true for education as well.

The way to make connections right off the bat is through CULTURE. Branding tenets that are from Madison Avenue’s hallowed halls are perfect tools to develop language and attitude for building CULTURE across the diverse market for education. The beginning of the work lies in the understanding that branding is based in an implied promise. In schools, the promise is achievement. Savvy principals today can be Madmen…or women leaders by applying Madison Avenue tools to include branding, some marketing and a dash of social media to create culture that feeds a loyalty to the organization. Madman Principles? They work. And you’d be crazy not to try.

Online College Degrees the New Requirement in the Workplace

Online College Degrees the New Requirement in the Workplace

It seems that more and more people these days are going online to attain the education that they need to excel in life. Used to be, that all you needed to make it in life was common sense and a desire to succeed. These days however there is a new trend emerging, that of the college degree employee.

In years past you had to miss work in an effort to get a college degree in an effort to make it in the workplace. However with the arrival of the Internet getting a college degree is as easy as ordering your favorite pizza. This article is designed to give you an overview of the world of online degrees and aid you in the decision that you need to make when selecting a college.

One thing that you need to keep in mind is that these days adult students make up half of the students that are going online to attain their degree. More schools as of late are considering the adult students when they design their class offerings as well as the schedule of those classes. Most online classes today can be taken in the evening after you have got home and spent some time with your family. One thing that many employees need to consider is that these days many employers will compensate an employee if they attend a higher learning institute, to further their education. The simple fact is this having a degree is no longer a luxury it is more of a necessity that many people need to consider if they want to advance in their job.

Many of the bigger colleges offer a distance learning option that allows students to earn the same degree that they would if they attended class on campus. People today live in a minute by minute life and are constantly on the go. Online college degrees offer them the convince of getting their college degree in their own time that is easy for them to find the time.

No matter if you are just starting out or have been in the workplace for years, an online college degree will carry you farther in the world than if you are in the same job without a degree. When you are looking at a school there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. First find out if they offer financial aid, if they do then you will want to make sure that you qualify before you go to get signed up for a bunch of classes you won’t be able to pay for. Second research the school and make sure that it is a school that has a solid history and will not be here today and gone the next with your money. The last thing that you need to make sure of is that the degree you receive is actual worth the paper it is printed on. The last thing that you want to do is pay for a degree to find out that it has more value as a piece of toilet paper.
