Admission Essay: MA in Education
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper placing the phrase, “Why I want to be a teacher” in more academic terms. The paper concludes that teachers always have had the opportunity to have lasting influence in students’ lives, but it appears that today’s educational environment holds more promise for that outcome than existed in previous generations. A solution for lack of performance in the past was to “throw money” at whatever symptom gained attention first. Today’s budgetary constraints prevent that from being the first – and even the only – alternative considered, encouraging the use of creativity and visionary thinking instead.

Adolescent Grief
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing adolescent grief, its differences from that of childhood and adult grief, reactions and school involvement in the bereavement process. Attending to the needs of grieving adolescents is considered an area of counseling and psychiatry which has been overlooked for many years. While there have been services and guidance in relation to grieving adults and children, there is considered to be an absence of programs in regards to teen services. Adolescent grief is considered different than that of child and adult grief because of the mixed messages often given by the adolescents themselves in that many are trying to strive for independence yet still recognize that they have some dependence on family members and others close to them. In addition, while adolescent grief is sometimes considered similar to that of adults, it is compounded with the additional stresses experienced during adolescence. Because of this adolescents often handle their grief with different reactions from those experienced by younger children and older adults. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Adolescents And ADHD
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Adjusting one's life to the inherent struggles of ADHD is not specific to the individual who suffers from the learning disability; rather, the need to develop coping mechanisms branches out to virtually every person with whom the individual comes in contact, not the least of which includes parents, siblings, non-familial adults and peers. This is particular pertinent with adolescent ADHD, in that during this period of life the young adult is compelled to deal with psychological, physiological and hormonal changes that make the focus-zapping disability an even greater challenge to endure. The extent to which issues such as scholastic difficulty and low self-esteem are a constant presence in the life of an ADHD adolescent are both grand and far-reaching; that specially modified approaches to learning must be approached in order to reach the ADHD adolescent speaks to the shattering of old-school mentality claiming these young adults simply cannot be reached.

Adult & Vocational Education/Welfare Reform
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page research paper (plus one-page outline) that addresses how current welfare reform has impacted adult and vocational education, which places its emphasis on putting people into jobs, any sort of job, as the first step in the welfare process, rather than developing the basic and job-related skills for obtaining gainful employment. Furthermore, the 1996 Act severely limits the time that a family can receive cash assistance for educational purposes. Therefore, adult and vocational educators are having to rethink their role in relation to current welfare reform (Imel, 1998). Consequently, the primary question before adult and vocational educators is how best to implement the 1996 legislation. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Adult Learning Styles, Temperaments And Theories In "Educating Rita"
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Educating Rita is about two types of education: cognitive and experiential. Academic education is what drives a civilized society and the fundamental component of success, be that financial, interpersonal or self-worth. Practical education is that which is acquired as one moves through the different phases of life and learns from the inside out. For Rita, education was all of this rolled together; while she already possessed experiential knowledge, she gravely lacked proper intellectual prowess she knew would serve to fill in the missing pieces of her life. Rita was both overzealous and under-prepared as a student when pitted against the advanced academic career of her tutor, Dr. Bryant. Watching their educational dance proceed with an undeniable awkwardness, the audience comes to appreciate the intensity of Rita's quest for self-improvement just as much as her somewhat jaded professor, who ultimately comes around to champion her aspirations with the help of a number of learning theories. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Adverse Effects Associated With American Adults Who Experienced Corporal Punishment As Adolescents
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The application of corporal punishment – infliction of physical punishment upon the body – in contemporary American schools has been virtually stamped out of existence over the past several years due to notion of human rights and what is considered to be acceptable discipline by today's standards.

African Americans' College Enrollment
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research proposal seeking to determine why more African American students do not seek college admission. Black and white Americans enjoyed momentary equality in terms of enrollment in colleges and universities in 1976. That equality was short lived as disparities grew until 1982, when the racial gap between African American and white students grew to 10 percent. All college enrollment has increased in recent years; African American students have made the greatest gains among minority students. By 2003, the racial gap had declined to less than 8 percent and 54.8 percent of all African American students completing high school entered college during their first year after high school. There is some evidence that the state of the national economy may be a predictor of African American college enrollment, but there is also evidence that African American students are discouraged from attending college in the form of negative messages regarding likelihood of success. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Includes an abstract.
