Fostering Perseverance and Motivation in Your Child

Fostering Perseverance and Motivation in Your Child Fostering Perseverance and Motivation in Your Child “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”  â€" Albert Einstein Intelligence equals success. That’s what most people would say, but Albert Einstein attributed much of his success to persistence and persevering through challenges, rather than to his intelligence. A word for this is grit. Merriam-Webster defines grit as an “unyielding courage in the face of hardship.” While we can all agree there is a strong relationship between intelligence and success, Einstein saw grit as a bigger predictor, which leads us to a question we often receive from parents. How can we develop perseverance in our children? A simple “Great Job!” goes a long way in fostering motivation. Parents can foster perseverance and inspire motivation in children by cultivating the right learning attitude and praising them when they meet expectations, whether at home or in the classroom. Encouragement should be given regardless of a child’s result. It’s important to focus on your childs effort and their progress. “Look at how well you are doing with addition! A few months ago, adding up to +9 wasn’t easy, but now you can add double digits in your head! Im so impressed with how far you have come. I can’t wait to watch you do it with subtraction!” Encouragement entails using descriptive words. “I know subtracting fractions feels challenging right now, but I don’t want you to give up. I know you can do it! Do you remember a few months ago when you thought long division was too difficult? Now, it feels easy for you, right? It must feel good to know you worked so hard and now you are a pro at it! Fractions are the same thing. I’m really proud of you because I know you are going to become really good at fractions too!” Encouragement has a bigger effect than praise on a child’s motivation and willingness to persevere. By developing a mindset for goal setting and ultimately cultivating an attitude to preserve in order to achieve those goals, students will have the tools they need to be successful in life. Together, parents and educators provide the ideal foundation for children to achieve their goals and their dreams, one step at a time.

Digital Skills vs. Digital Literacy Whats the difference

Digital Skills vs. Digital Literacy What’s the difference As teachers, why do we need to worry about digital literacy if our students are already growing up surrounded by technology? While there’s no doubt that being adept at using digital tools and technologies is essential for everyone in the 21st century - teachers and students alike - possessing digital skills is not the same as being digitally literate. It’s a mistake to assume that exposure to digital tools and technologies automatically equates to the knowledge of how to use these effectively. Technical proficiency ? digital literacy Our students are tech-savvy digital natives. They know their way around a tablet, smartphone and laptop better than most. More often than not, they know how to do a voice search on an iPad, share selfies on Instagram, play a video game and send a GIF on WhatsApp. But what they lack is the knowledge of how to use these digital tools and technologies to communicate and achieve their learning goals. Some examples of digital skills vs. digital literacies include the following: Digital Skills Digital Literacy Sending an email, DM or text. The ability to judge the appropriate digital channel for online communication with peers, teachers and parents. Using Microsoft Office/Google G Suite. The ability to: Articulate the benefits and drawbacks of each tool. Critically evaluate which is most effective for the project at hand. Tweeting, posting to Facebook, uploading a video to YouTube, adding to a Snapchat story and posting a photo to Instagram. The ability to navigate social media safely, in order to: Protect their reputation by determining what private content is safe/appropriate to share. Recognize bots. Spot bias, prejudice and hate propaganda. Identify cyberstalking and harassment. Conducting a Google search. The ability to effectively use online search as a research tool, including: Picking the right search terms. Evaluating results based on cues such as web addresses. Tracking information to a reasonable source. Assessingtone, style, audience, bias and purpose to determine the credibility of information. Our students not only need to be proficient in how to use digital technologies - they also need you to work proactively to embed digital literacies into your curriculum. Without this, they cannot be truly digitally literate, defined by the American Library Association as “the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills.” It’s important for students to critically think about media and the messages they get daily. The ability to weed out fake news, for example, will be a crucial 21st-century skill. We need to give our students the tools and skills needed to process the vast amounts of information they’re exposed to each day. A recent Digital Literacy Impact Study showed that learners with a solid grounding in digital literacy have a competitive advantage in the workforce. Because digital literacy is so essential not only to our students’ academic and future career success but also their ability to fully participate in modern society, teaching digital literacy is quickly becoming a critical part of the curriculum at the K-8 level. In short: if digital literacies haven’t yet become a core component of your classroom learning experience, it's time to rethink your teaching strategy.

Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam - by TutorNerds

Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam - by TutorNerds Ask a Nerd! Question: Do I have to take an AP class in order to take the AP exam Brief: The simple answer is no, but there are some things that you should think about and discuss with your Irvine private academic tutor before making that choice. Answer No, you do not have to take an AP class in order to take the AP exam. But should you? The AP exams are college level courses so, taking the AP exam without taking the class would be like showing up at college two years early on the day of the final exam and keeping your fingers crossed. Of course, there are some situations when this may be your only option but you still want a shot at doing well on these exams. For example, if your school doesn’t offer the AP course that you wish to take or if you attend a school that doesn’t offer them at all (READ: Last Minute AP Exam Study Guide). If you find yourself in a position where the only way you can take the AP exam is without taking the AP course, I recommend the following plan of action: 1. Examine your motivations for taking the AP test without the course. If you absolutely LOVE the subject or if you must take this exam to apply to a certain university program, then by all means go ahead. But, if you just don’t feel like taking the course, think about the advantage that your classmates who did take the course will have on exam day (READ: The Students Guide to Study Breaks). 2. Order a test prep study book for the test you are taking as well as the full length text book for the course and get started right away. 3. Have an Orange County in-home tutor who specializes in that particular AP course help you make a plan of action for your studies as well as help explain new and challenging topics. 4. Stick to your plan of action schedule. If most students, who are taking the course, are studying six hours a week at home and are in class for five hours a week, then you should be studying a total of 11 hours per week as well. 5. Take several practice tests and self grade them. Determine patterns of error and get help from a specialist for the areas that you need to improve. On the other hand, if you want to take the European history AP exam and your school offers AP Euro, then I highly recommend that you take the full course -as well as consider one of our Irvine history tutors . There is so much to be gained from taking the course and you will have a much better chance of getting a score of 3, 4 or 5 on test day. Of course, there are exceptions. If you are bilingual English/Spanish and you want to take the AP Spanish exam, then you may do just fine taking the exam without taking the course. Make sure that you do your research though. There is a cultural component to this exam so you will still have to study, learn and fully comprehend the cultural aspect of this exam (CLICK: Additional Information on AP Exams). Bottom line: If the course is offered, it’s best to take it 99% of the time. If it’s not offered, giving yourself a shot at AP success requires hard work, planning, and probably quite a bit of help from a specialist. Have a question for one of our nerds?

Ap Calculus Tutor Near Me

Ap Calculus Tutor Near MeIf you have recently enrolled in a new calculus course and want to learn the subject online, you may be wondering where to find an Ap Calculus Tutor near me. Fortunately, the Ap Calculus program is the first online course for students to enroll in as it is a very high-profile academic program. This is because it is considered a high-end calculus course that will open doors for individuals who need to take a serious math course or for those who are interested in becoming a professor.In addition to the relatively high-profile status of the Ap Calculus program, there are several additional things that make it a desirable course to enroll in. One of these is that it is offered at the University of California, Davis, which means that there are numerous colleges, universities, and technical schools near you. If you have family members or friends who live within driving distance of you, it can be very convenient to contact them to see if they would be interested in taking your course and helping you through the process.The first thing that you need to do when you begin searching for a tutor is to decide what kind of course you are looking for. This could be a variety of things, including algebra, calculus, or an elective course that you are looking to complete. You will need to choose a course so that you will be able to focus your attention on only the courses that you need to complete, and not worry about something else. While there are a few available options, many colleges and universities are only offering a very limited selection of courses that are similar to the course that you are interested in taking.Once you have narrowed down your choices to a few options, you will need to determine whether you want to take the full-time or part-time course. Full-time courses are a little bit more expensive than part-time courses, but are generally easier to manage because there are fewer classes to handle and a larger group of people who are helpi ng you with the course.If you decide to take a full-time course, be sure to contact your university's departmental advisors to see if you have any deadlines or such to meet. Many universities allow students to participate in a single AP Calculus course, so this can help you avoid wasting a lot of time by having to attend multiple different courses in order to complete your assignment and get your grade.As soon as you know whether you are taking a full-time or part-time course, you will need to start planning your course schedule your classes. Make sure that you have sufficient time in order to work through all of the activities that you need to perform while you are studying. If you have an upcoming deadline, try to schedule your class times so that you do not run into problems with time management.Online coursework is an excellent way to get the study you need from the comfort of your own home, but keep in mind that it is still a part of your regular day job. Even though your cours ework will be taking place entirely online, you will still have to interact with other people. Try to keep your interactions with others to a minimum, since you should be trying to keep your schedule full.
