Let’s face it, as an art graduate, finding a job that aligns with your degree can be challenging. When you do, it’s undeniably one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll get in a lifetime. But until then, you need to employ a few strategies that will help you cope with financial burdens.
To the Young Artist Graduating High School
You want to be an artist, whether it be a painter, musician, writer, or actor. You find joy in being creative and you want to learn how to better your craft, but you are maybe afraid to pursue it as a college degree for a number of reasons. I remember that time in my life so well, wanting one thing and thinking I should be doing something else in order to ensure my future happiness.
Planned Obsolescence in Education
Post-secondary education has an increasing tendency to become obsolete, even in more classic fields such as English literature where most of the information and adequate methods for accessing and manipulating it have been in place for a hundred years or more.
Why it’s Important to Expand EQ and Social Emotional Learning in Schools
EQ is the ability to recognize, understand, control and express emotions, whereas SEL is the process by which you learn the skills needed to manage emotions, feel empathy, and maintain relationships with others. Why should schools start to teach these two concepts? Here are some of the many reasons:
Inspiring Children’s Imagination In A Tech-Drenched Society
One of my favorite quotes came from a book later made into the family-friendly film, “The Princess Bride.” The Grandfather (played by legendary screen actor Peter Falk) tells his Grandson (a young Fred Savage), “When I was your age, television was called books.” This gives us a window into how much technology has changed our lives since the days of our grandparents.
The Key to Success – an Essay about Education
As we grow older, the amount of information we can learn on our own diminishes, and we must rely increasingly on formal education in order to develop the skills and knowledge we need to be successful in today’s world. Education is the key to success, and pursuing education is the best way to achieve one’s goals in life.
Excellence Versus Success
After my son’s prize giving a few weeks ago, I’m still dwelling on the topic of how schools reward excellence in their students and today I’m extending it to Universities. Do the learners / pupils / students who do not excel academically get public recognition for their efforts and merits?
How My Students and I Still Impact Each Other’s Lives
My response to the second thank you was to sit at my computer and cry. It’s been a decade since last I taught, but it was apparent that I had left an impression on this young man. When you leave teaching, it’s difficult to see the impact you have on students’ lives once they leave your school.
Please Help Me Teach School Children in Nepal
Last week I was accepted to volunteer to teach English to elementary and high school children in the foothills of the Himalayas in Annapurna, Nepal. I’ll be working with a non-profit organization committed to raising the educational standards of school age children in this part of the world: “Trek To Teach.” But, I can’t handle this teaching venture on my own, I need your help.
Count on Us and Count Us In.
It is my hope that our teachers will support us too in our fight. We are often the forgotten souls of a school. It is my hope that we will all find a common ground that makes us proud to work in our schools and proud to work together.
