Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's global society, parents are realizing that their children must get a quality education so they are taking charge of their own child's learning needs. It does not matter whether children are attending schools or being homeschooled, they still have continued support when they are working on their studies at home. Similarly, children who are homeschooled have the same options available to them too. Parents may opt to seek tutoring services to supplement their child's homeschooled educational program. Any parent that has the desire to work with their child at home should have good information about how to strategically help him or her and reap the benefits of using a data-driven approach to learning at home. In 2001, the United States Congress passed the bi-partisan No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act that promised high standards, accountability, more choices for parents, and research-based methods of instruction. Parents are realizing that they truly have control of their children's education and many options are available to them. Written by an educator and mom who has been a long-time tutor, this book will take you on a journey in which you will discover more about your child and yourself. Once you get to know your child academically, you'll learn how to: Choose the right learning environment for your child; Select a curriculum for your child; Plan your child's lessons; Supplement your child's curriculum; Assess your child's progress; Keep track and report your child's grades to him or her and the school; Find professional development opportunities for parents who want to help their child. Take a data-driven approach to helping your child at home. By using these strategies at home with your child, you'll experience a significant increase in your child's academic achievement and prepare your child for future global opportunities."

Download or read book Getting Started in Ballet A Parent s Guide to Dance Education written by Anna Paskevska Chair of the Dance Department Chicago Academy for the Arts and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997-10-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many children dream of being a ballerina. Chin raised with purpose, arms high above head, they twirl clumsily around the living room and leap tirelessly in the air. Sooner or later they're bound to say, "I want to dance." Now what do you do? How do you know if the time is right? Where's the best place to start? In Getting Started in Ballet, Anna Paskevska draws from her training at the Paris Opera Ballet School and and the Royal Ballet School in London and her career as a professional dancer and teacher to offer a step-by-step introduction to dance education for parents with children starting ballet. Paskevska begins with a historical overview of dance and discusses the fundamental virtues and many life-long skills it imparts. Dance teaches children how to cooperate and support each other's efforts; encourages them to work in harmony with others; helps establish a child's spatial relationships; and promotes discipline and responsibility. Paskevska outlines the proper sequence for training in ballet based on a child's physical and mental development. She clearly demonstrates how ballet's early training, focusing on repetition of simple motion such as exercises at the barre and basic jumps, establish pathways for all later movements not only in ballet, but in modern dance, jazz, and tap as well. Written in a clear and accessible style and full of anecdotes from Paskevska's long professional dance-related career, Getting Started in Ballet offers helpful information on types of dance schools and how to select the right school for your child. Included is valuable information on choosing a dance instructor, the role both parents and teachers should play in a child's learning experience, and the qualities the ideal teacher should possess. Also discussed are more practical matters such as the appropriate clothing to wear while practicing, the importance of shoes that fit properly, how to secure pointe shoes, tips for avoiding injury, and how to balance training and performing experience during the formative years. A special chapter covers proper diet, eating disorders, and ways to recognize symptoms of imbalance. Finally, Paskevska touches upon the professional world of dance, attending college as a dance major, and advice on choosing careers that benefit from a background in dance. With forewords by Violette Verdy, a preeminent ballerina affiliated with the New York City Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet, and Sybil Shearer, a pioneer of American modern dance, as well as an extensive appendix of performing arts schools and dance programs throughout the United States, Getting Started in Ballet gives parents the advice they need to make their child's dance experiences both enjoyable and constructive.

It's coordinated with the book your child uses. This book has companion books for students (one for elementary students and one for older students). The parent's guide works in parallel with the student book so you can support your child in being a better student. They're all filled with easy-to-use lists, helpful tips, examples, practical suggestions, and enough ideas to last through the years. And, it's written by a teacher who later wrote textbooks and other classroom materials. You get the help you need from an insider in both worlds.You'll find so many ideas (the writer has been at this for over 40 years) that you'll be able to pick out what works best for you now and add new ideas as you go through the school years.Many students are never taught how to learn. Many don't know their learning style (or how to use it). And how often are parents taught effective strategies for helping with homework, what to look for on open house night, and how to get the most out of meetings with teachers? You'll be a step ahead when you put the ideas from this book into practice.Here are some of the things you'll find in this book:1. You'll get lots of help for homework time, methods and questions you can use, and help with long-term projects. You'll see how to use concept maps, how to get the most out of textbooks, and how to help your child read more effectively and write more clearly.2. You'll also find ways to more effectively help your child prepare for (and take) tests. We'll look at how to deal with test anxiety (and failure) and some secrets about test questions your child's teacher may not know. (You and your older child will get the tools you need to ace an organic chemistry quiz when you know nothing about the subject!)3. Need help organizing? We'll look at how to organize time, space, stuff, and ideas, how to set up and use calendars, and how to make the morning rush a bit easier. You'll even see tips for buying (and using) a backpack (and why you need a brightly colored folder in it).4. Does your child get the most from class? You'll see ideas for listening better, picking up on the teacher's hints and clues about what's important, even where to sit.5. We also go beyond the school with ideas on using community resources and travel for learning. We talk about the skills needed for life-long learning, and how to help your child develop these skills.Other books in this series are written for teachers and tutors. If you hire a tutor, this book will help make the time you're paying for more effective.
