Marshall Peer Tutoring Program

Marshall Peer Tutoring ProgramThe Marshall Peer Tutoring program offers help for a variety of problems which might arise for children in the process of their learning. Teachers and principals have many reasons to do this and as part of a great collaboration between the school and district, the program helps students gain more knowledge and understanding of the subject they are being taught. The program has three parts; a selection committee to examine the needs of the teachers, a committee to recommend what type of problems need attention, and a management plan to guide the work of the program. Many experts, including the Chicago Board of Education, agree that the program has helped provide an avenue for students to learn and master subjects better than they would without the assistance of peer tutors. It does this through face-to-face discussions with the peer tutors and through in-class teaching by the teachers. Teachers love to work with each other and the benefits are there in th e form of a better relationship between the teacher and the student that result in more personal attention to the student and thereby improve his or her learning abilities. Teachers also benefit because the students are learning at their own pace and can make improvements on their own, instead of having to constantly push the student to do things he or she may not be ready for yet. However, the program has drawbacks as well.There is a chance that the problem that needs attention will be one that affects the pupil's behavior or learning environment, so a professional must be involved with the student's performance at all times to ensure that they do not suffer any loss in performance. In addition, if the problem is based on lack of interest, lack of ability or a lack of study time, a student may be unable to focus and learn. These issues cannot be eliminated but can be managed by the teacher. Other teachers are able to compensate for the lack of peer tutors by taking time out to stud y.Some teachers are uncomfortable with the idea of a program which can encourage them to use harsher lesson plans. Even some who do like the program find that it is hard to ask permission from their superiors and the various departments in the school, as they might not agree with the program. There is a limit on how much change can be made in a district without approval from the board of education, which means that some compromises must be made. It is important to remember that the program has been tried and found to be effective with a variety of students.A peer tutoring program can be more useful to students who have problems with peers or in groups and it will probably be better for students who have difficulty understanding other students. The benefits of the program are many, but the hazards cannot be ignored.One has to remember that just because the peer tutoring program is effective, it is not safe. Some teachers and principals take advantage of this and teach students to dis like each other for selfish reasons. This type of instruction will most likely lead to an even worse situation than before.Many students understand that they cannot fight the odds and that the Marshall Peer Tutoring program should be a tool to learn and grow from. This should be encouraged, not feared, so that students can become better learners and responsible citizens of the world.

Meet the teacher ESL Instructor, Stephanie, in Chiba, Japan

Meet the teacher ESL Instructor, Stephanie, in Chiba, Japan Stephanie, an ESL teacher from Maryland, began her Teach Away placement at the Berlitz Japan Inc. school in Chiba, Japan, teaching English about four months ago. We caught up with her to learn how she’s enjoying her teaching abroad experience so far, and see whether she has any advice for others who are interested in teaching in Japan. What initially interested you in teaching abroad? I've always desired the experience of living abroad in another country for cultural immersion and exploration, and also to learn more about myself, including my strengths and weaknesses. ESL seemed like an attractive option because it allows me to work directly with individuals living in Tokyo, and also exposes me to Japanese culture in a more authentic way. Why did you decide on Japan? Honestly, I was open to going to virtually anywhere around the world. My application with Berlitz moved quickly, and I accepted their offer and decided to give Japan a try! Did you have any concerns before you left? One of the major concerns I had about leaving America to teach abroad was leaving my friends behind. I had been living in D.C. for a long time, and grew comfortable there, but knew I wanted a life change. Another concern I had was about securing housing abroad before I left. This one was a challenge for me, as I had to be flexible and revise my housing situation once I got to Japan, but it all worked out in the end. Describe the school that you teach at and what a typical workday looks like for you. The school I teach at is a private language center where students attend according to their desired schedule. Class sizes are mostly small, either one-on-one or with a few students at most. This individualized or small group setting gives students more attentive teaching time and allows me to focus more individually on their learning needs. I tend to work the afternoons and late evenings during the week, and full days on the weekends. Typically, I learn who I will be teaching for the day when I arrive at the school for work, and the students vary everyday. Weekends tend to be the most busy as clients often have the most availability over those two days. What have you learned about life in Japan from your teaching experience? Japan is a country that greatly values its cultural identity, traditions, and customs. The people here are respectful, courteous, hierarchical, and disciplined. Due to small living spaces, people are economical and aware of their surroundings and how they affect them. Public transit is safe and convenient, and many people walk or bike everywhere, which is refreshing! What is youf favourite meal that you've had? I am a fan of Japanese comfort foods. I love Oyako-don, which is a traditional sweet and savory chicken, egg, and rice bowl dish. Also, freshly made ramen soup (not the freeze-dried type!) in Japan is always delicious. The noodles are slightly al dente, which makes it fun to eat and slurp. Slurping your ramen is considered good manners in Japan as it is a sign that you enjoy your food. What's your neighborhood like? I live in a quiet residential neighborhood with convenient access to the city, where I work. I'm just a quick 10 - 12 minute walk to the local subway station and everything that I need is close by. Where would you like to go next? I am open to many places. We'll see what happens! Do you have any tips for teachers who are looking to apply to teach abroad? Be flexible and adaptable regardless of where you go. There are natural ups and downs during the adjustment process, but just remember to be yourself and do things you enjoy to help you feel grounded! Inspired by Stephanie's experience? Take a look at our current teaching jobs in Japan here.

Discipline is the Key to this Students Success

Discipline is the Key to this Students Success Discipline is the Key to this Students Success Abhinav, 11-years-old, Math Level J, Reading Level III At 11-years-old, Abhinav is studying above grade level ahead his peers, and can complete his school work with ease. Thanks to the Kumon Math Program, he’s working on challenging algebraic concepts, such as factorization and quadratic functions. In the Kumon Reading Program, he’s taking a deep dive into high school-level literature and analyzing pieces such as Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.Having been enrolled in Kumon since he was six, Abhinav has gained the confidence and motivation to help him through any challenge. He credits Kumon for helping him become a stronger student in school. “Kumon is a very inspiring and unique program,” said Abhinav. “The fact that I am ahead of my grade level has made my school work easier, especially math. This has created more free-time in my schedule, allowing me to finish other work and have time for sports. Applying what I’ve learned in Kumon at school has helped me a lot.” While he’s still undecided on a career path, he does see a future in medicine. “I want to either be a physician who specializes in sleep medicine, medical research, cardiovascular surgery, or really any career that deals with medicine. I am confident that I will become sure of what I want to do in a few years,” said Abhinav. Abhinav had the opportunity to get a glimpse into what it’s like to be a college student, having been selected to attend Loyola University Chicago’s Pre-College Summer Scholars Program. This exciting opportunity allows exceptional students to get ahead academically through taking courses from Loyola’s knowledgeable faculty. Courses include a focus on business, pre-health, psychology, and STEM. Abhinav’s academic success has even risen to new heights, being a part of the Gifted Education (MOSAICS) Program at his school. Students who are in MOSAICS follow an accelerated curriculum that provides enrichment and unique learning experiences to meet the needs of gifted students. It’s no wonder that Abhinav was selected by his teacher to be the grade representative, which he is extremely proud of. Outside of the classroom, Abhinav enjoys playing sports as it is a way for him to not only exercise, but to also relieve stress. He particularly enjoys badminton and table tennis. Most of the time Abhinav will play with his dad, and they have even set up a ping-pong table in their home. Abhinav’s hard work and discipline has not gone unnoticed, as he was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Abhinav about his Kumon journey. How has Kumon helped you inside of the classroom? Kumon has helped me in so many ways in school as 90-95% of the concepts being taught have already been covered in Kumon. This has significantly helped me, especially in math. My hard work has paid off as I have been accepted into a 7th grade accelerated math class in school. How has Kumon helped you outside of the classroom? The values that are taught in Kumon have helped in my daily life. The core values such as honesty, hard work, and confidence have been vital to my success. I have gained confidence which has really helped me in various public speaking engagements. With honesty and hard work, it has taught me to be sincere with anything I am working on and give it 100%. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Exquisite. What did it mean to you attending the Student Conference? It was such an honor being chosen to attend the Student Conference in Calgary. When my dad shared the news with me, it was a proud moment. I really enjoyed meeting other Kumon Students and exchanging ideas. All the speakers at the conference were interesting and inspiring. The entire experience was a superb feeling! What advice do you have for other Kumon Students? My advice to other Kumon Students would be simple. I have seen so many kids drop out of the program at various ages. Having been in Kumon for almost eight years now, I have hit many challenging levels. Whenever I felt stuck on a challenging concept, I asked questions, and remained persistent until I achieved the desired result. I’d like to tell all Kumon Students who are just starting out to keep trying and never give up. If you don’t give up during any challenge, it will help you a lot later in life.
