Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2013 was the year that I began high school. It was an interesting time for me. As the years went by, the experience soured itself through jealous classmates, posers, people who failed to control their hormones, negligent instructors, rumors, pressure from the system to conform and ongoing politics within the school district. It's now 2020 and I'm a junior in college who lives on campus. Though the freedom I have as an adult is incomprehensible compared to my earlier years, I find myself dealing with the same mundane problems that I had to put up with in grade school except I'm now paying out of pocket for them. Is college truly the adult high school?
Download or read book College Without High School written by Blake Boles and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the real world is the best education. High school can be boring. High school curriculum can be frustrating and out of touch. So what is the answer for young people whose creativity, bright ideas, and boundless energy are being stifled in that over-scheduled and grade-driven environment? What would you do if you could go to college without going to high school? Would you travel abroad, spend late nights writing a novel, volunteer in an emergency room, or build your own company? What dreams would you be pursuing right now? College Without High School shows how independent teens can self-design their high school education by becoming unschooled. Students begin by defining their goals and dreams and then pursue them through a combination of meaningful and engaging adventures. It is possible to pursue your dreams, and gain admission to any college of your choice. Boles shows how to fulfill college admission requirements by proving five preparatory results: intellectual passion, leadership, logical reasoning, background knowledge, and the capacity for structured learning. He then offers several suggestions for life-changing, confidence-building adventures that will demonstrate those results. This intriguing approach to following your dreams and doing college prep on your own terms will be welcomed by students (and their parents).

Download or read book Never Too Late written by Rebecca Klein-Collins and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smart, snappy, and comprehensive guide for the millions of adults who are thinking about going—or going back—to college and want to know how to do it right As anyone who has done it knows, going back to school is a major undertaking. For younger and older adults alike, starting or returning to school presents different challenges than those encountered by teens fresh out of high school and heading straight to college. Countless Americans take on this task while working, raising kids, caring for parents, volunteering, serving in the military—and in some cases all of the above. Although the "non-traditional" undergraduate student is in fact the new normal, the glut of college guides out there don't include practical advice for the busy moms, frustrated employees, and ambitious adults who are applying to college or hoping to finish earning a degree. Never Too Late will help readers jump-start a new professional path or speed down the one they're already on by guiding them through vital questions: What should I study? How can I afford the time and money required to get a college degree? How do I compare schools? With key chapters on flexibility ("It's About Time!" and "Face-to-Face or Cyberspace?") and rankings of the best colleges for grown-ups diving back into the books, Never Too Late is an essential reference for adults seeking a richer life—and a meaningful place in our rapidly changing economy and world.
Download or read book The Development of a Performance based Adult High School Diploma Program at Linn Benton Community College written by Jerome Alfred Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this case study was to describe the development of an adult high school diploma program at Linn Benton Community College, Specifically, the purposes of this study are: (1) the creation of an instructional approach utilizing performance objectives as a means of satisfying the minimum adult high school graduation requirements as determined by the State of Oregon and Linn Benton Community College, (2) the development of procedures and guidelines including the jurisdictional release of high school students, record-keeping and counseling these students in the program leading to the adult diploma, Description of Program Development The implementation of this program involved three phases: Phase 1 (Planning and Investigation) describes the selection of a coordinator, the review of material specifically dealing with the problem and the observation of an adult diploma program in operation. Phase 2 (Assessment and Recommendation) describes the examination of existing situation at Linn Benton Community College, reports on findings and presents a proposal to the administration for consideration. Phase 3 (Operation) describes classroom planning and instruction, the development of draft copies of the six sets of performance objectives and the circulation of them to surrounding area school districts for comment and evaluation. Finally, it describes the development of appropriate admission procedures and graduation requirements. Conclusions From this study eight conclusions are drawn, but probably the most important is that a performance objective approach to adult high school completion appears to be a workable format, with the community college system emerging as an appropriate agency for this adaptation. Twenty-seven recommendations were presented on the basis of these findings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School shootings scare everyone, even those not immediately affected. They make national and international news.

Here, Peter Langman takes a look at 48 national and international cases of school shootings in order to dispel the myths, explore the motives, and expose the realities of preventing school shootings from happening in the future, including identifying at risk individuals and helping them to seek help before it’s too late.

Download or read book The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education written by Tonette S. Rocco and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 926 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with Colleges and universities are increasingly becoming significant sites for adult education scholarship—in large part due to demographic shifts. With fewer U.S. high school graduates on the horizon, higher education institutions will need to attract “non-traditional” (i.e., older) adult learners to remain viable, both financially and politically. There is a need to develop a better corpus of scholarship on topics as diverse as, what learning theories are useful for understanding adult learning? How are higher education institutions changing in response to the surge of adult students? What academic programs are providing better learning and employment outcomes for adults in college? Adult education scholars can offer much to the policy debates taking place in higher education. A main premise of this handbook is that adult and continuing education should not simply respond to rapidly changing social, economic, technological, and political environments across the globe, but should lead the way in preparing adults to become informed, globally-connected, critical citizens who are knowledgeable, skilled, and open and adaptive to change and uncertainty.The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education provides rich information on the contemporary issues and trends that are of concern to adult and continuing education, of the programs and resources available to adult learners, and of opportunities to challenge and critique the structures embedded in the field that perpetuate inequity and social injustice. Adult education is a discipline that foresees a better tomorrow, and The Handbook is designed to engage and inspire readers to assist the field to seek new paths in uncertain and complex times, ask questions, and to help the field flourish.The Handbook is divided into five sections. The first, Foundations situates the field by describing the developments, core debates, perspectives, and key principles that form the basis of the field.The second, Understanding Adult Learning, includes chapters on adult learning, adult development, motivation, access, participation, and support of adult learners, and mentoring.Teaching Practices and Administrative Leadership, the third section, offers chapters on organization and administration, program planning, assessment and evaluation, teaching perspectives, andragogy and pedagogy, public pedagogy, and digital technologies for teaching and learning.The fourth section is Formal and Informal Learning Contexts. Chapters cover adult basic, GED, and literacy education, English-as-a-Second Language Programs, family literacy, prison education, workforce development, military education, international development education, health professions education, continuing professional education, higher education, human resource development and workplace learning, union and labor education, religious and spiritual education, cultural institutions, environmental education, social and political movements, and peace and conflict education.The concluding Contemporary Issues section discusses decolonizing adult and continuing education, adult education and welfare, teaching social activism, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and straight allies, gender and its multiple forms, disability, older adults and intergenerational identities, race and ethnicity, working class, whiteness and privilege, and migrants and migrant education.The editors culminate with consideration of next steps for adult and continuing education and priorities for the future.

Download or read book The College Conversation written by Eric J. Furda and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an Ivy League dean and a college admissions expert, a guide to help parents support their children as they navigate their way to college The College Conversation is a comprehensive resource for mapping the path through the college application process that provides practical advice and reassurance to keep both anxious parents and confused children sane and grounded. Rather than adding to the existing canon of "How to Get In" college guides or rankings, Eric Furda and Jacques Steinberg provide a step-by-step approach to having the tough conversations on this topic with less stress and more success. The book is organized around key discussions and themes that trace the chronological arc of admissions and financial aid--beginning before the assembly of a list of potential colleges and continuing through the receipt of decisions--with a final section that includes advice on the first year of college. The topics include preliminary conversations about the search, and specifically how parents can think about their children's interests and what kind of college would best suit them; choosing a college (based on its curriculum, culture, and community); writing the most effective essays; assessing acceptances, including considerations of finances and aid; and making the transition from high school to college life. The College Conversation will provide parents, students, and counselors with the credible, level-headed information often missing in this process, as well as a much-needed dash of perspective borne of experience.
