Teach Away Telegram - May 2010

Teach Away Telegram - May 2010 It’s that time of year again â€" whether near or far, it’s time to tell our mothers how much we appreciate their love and support. Here at Teach Away we’re all brainstorming the perfect gift for our moms: A bouquet of fresh cut flowers, a day at the spa, or a home-cooked meal? Mom will just have to wait and see…While many countries throughout the world will be pampering their mothers this weekend, you may be interested to read about a country that celebrates a slightly altered version of this holiday. And though many of you may want to give a thumbs up to the mothering skills that made you turn out so darn good, you may be surprised to read that mothers in one part of the world might wash your mouth (or hand) out with soap if you dared raise your thumb at them this Sunday. Concerned moms who are heading over to teach in the Middle East this summer may want to read this month’s Teach Story, all about schooling your child in the UAE.Happy Mother’s Day to all the fantastic m others out there!-The Teach Away TeamIn this issue:Happy Parents' Day!A Gesture Speaks a Thousand WordsTeacher Story: Schooling My Child in the UAEHappy Parents' Day!Although Mother’s Day has become an (almost) universal time of year for showing love and appreciation to our hard-working moms, South Korea â€" perhaps in the attempt to make sure dads don’t feel left out â€" has combined two holidays we’re familiar with to make one special day for two of our favourite people: Parents’ Day.This Saturday, children in Korea will be spending the day pampering not one, but two parents. In a country where respect for one’s elders is already a cultural norm which far surpasses what western teachers may be used to back home, on Parents Day, it’s not hard to imagine that Korean moms and dads are treated like queens and kings for the day. While in most countries, Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May, Parents’ Day in Korea always falls on May 8th. It’s only a coinciden ce that the two holidays share the same weekend this year.Along with presenting their parents with red and pink carnations (the symbol of love, admiration and gratitude), Korean children devote the day to their lucky parents, making sure time is spent doing their favourite things and eating their favourite foods. Gifts are similar to those traditionally given to mothers and fathers around the world; however a somewhat shocking modern twist finds some children presenting their parents with fountain of youth type gifts: Botox and hair transplants are among some of the presents given to help parents maintain a more youthful look.So whether you decide to pamper your mom or both parents, we hope that you have some lovely family time this weekend!A Gesture Speaks A Thousand WordsTeach Away Staff pictured from top to bottom: Jessa, Valen, Kathleen, Kate, Adrian & AshOkay, we promise to stop hinting that you should show mom you care with a sweet gesture this Mother’s Day. What we’re rea lly talking about here are those gestures you use, every day and without a second thought, to simply and quickly communicate your feelings to those around you. This type of non-verbal communication becomes even more important when you’re living and working in a place where you don’t share the same language as the locals. But what if your grandiose gesture to communicate (yes, pun intended) doesn’t share the same meaning in your host country as it does back home? You don’t want to ruin relationships you hope to forge with locals before you’ve even settled into your new community, so read on to learn about 5 gestures that get the thumbs down...5 Hand Gestures that get the Thumbs DownThumbs Up - Although this gesture is used to signify a job well done in many western countries, we wouldn’t recommend sticking up your thumb to friends, co-workers, or virtually anyone in a large part of the Middle East. Otherwise, you may quickly become very unpopular with the locals who will wonder why you continue to use such an obscene gesture after they’ve just done something deserving of praise.A - O.K.! - Although you may often give this sign to mom to let her know how much you like her food (and to avoid talking with your mouth full), be wary about where you are in the world before you use this sign as a compliment. Its meaning varies from slightly offensive to downright vulgar in different areas of Europe and Latin America, so this is a good one to double check before you book your next plane ticket abroad.Come-here! - When you use this gesture, you may think you are innocently asking your friend or student to come over to where you are, but if you’re in Philippines, this is a call used only for dogs. Not only will you insult the person you hope will come join you, you may even get yourself arrested for this “crime.” Although not necessarily negative in Northern Africa and some other Asian countries, locals won't know what you're asking and may run the ot her way!Got your nose! - An innocent game of “got your nose” that adults in some western countries like to play with kids could get you in big trouble in Japan. As this sign is considered extremely vulgar, it probably wouldn’t be the best idea to use it around kids â€" or anyone you know, for that matter.... unless you're planning to time travel back to ancient Greece where this gesture was used as a symbol of fertility and good luck.The Pat on the Head - Another innocent sign of endearment gone sour if used in some European countries, Thailand, and certain Buddhist countries is a simple pat on the head. While some of us like to show fondness for young children by softly patting them on the head, your affectionate gesture will be misinterpreted as condescending or downright degrading depending on where you are in the world.Schooling My Child in the U.A.E.Story & Photo by Darline CoupetBefore signing my contract with Teach Away, one of my biggest concerns was what I’d be doin g about my daughter’s schooling. After all, I was going over on an education initiative to educate the children in the UAE, but I didn’t want that to mean that my own child’s education would suffer as a result. So before signing the contract, I talked to various people about the schooling options there.I also did quite a bit of research on schools in Al Ain before we left. I looked into online schools, but found this to be a difficult task because it was summer and most schools were operating on a skeletal staff. I went to several sites and got the lowdown on the other schools in the area: Al Ain’s American School, Choufait, Emirates National, Dafour, Our Own English Speaking School, but by far, the one that stood out most prominently for me was Al Ain English Speaking School (AAESS).Even though I was able to apply online, the process of getting my daughter registered was a little stressful. For one thing, space was an issue, among other things, like getting her placed in th e correct grade. The paperwork we had gotten from the States did not read the way they wanted, and I had to go back and forth with my daughter’s school back home to get things just right. Then came the bill. A simple insurance bond cost 8,000 AED, and that didn’t even count towards the actual tuition. Next I had to pay 11,980 AED for the first semester fees. This did not include the two other payments of 8,700 AED in November and February which covered the tuition for the rest of the year. Yikes, over 30,000 AED! Schooling here is not cheap!However, when I thought about the cost in American dollars, which was about $9,000 US, it suddenly didn’t seem as bad. Private school tuition in the US would run about as muchâ€"if not more. And though many of the families here have chosen to homeschool their children (and are doing so succesfully), I didn’t feel like this was the right option for my child. While some people are having their children participate in virtual schools, and ot hers have formed study groups, I decided to pay the international school fees.Education-wise, AAESS ‘s cirriculum is very different from U.S. standards. As part of the British system, here are some of the differences I’ve noted:• An emphasis is placed on final exams when assessing grades• There it not a huge number of projects/ tests throughout the year• Parent-teacher conferences occur twice a semester• There are over 10 classes in 1 yearFor my daughter, Iman, school here has been a huge adjustment due to the sheer number of classes: biology, chemistry, physics, geography, history, English, maths, Arabic, Spanish, drama, music, art, information technology, and phys. ed.â€"all in the same year.Iman has made many friends at school, and now has friends from all over the world! This weekend, she went to a school friend’s birthday party and had a blast! All in all, she seems to be adjusting well. Finals will be here soon, so she’s been hitting the books. I’m working on a schedule to tutor her at least three times a week because with all those classes, it seems she could use the extra help.Though the entire process of enrolling my daughter in school in the UAE was initially quite complicated for me, if you do your homework and have all of your documents in order before leaving home, it might be a much smoother process. I recommend visiting the different school sites to see what will work best for you and your child.

The year's results were down for maths, English, history and geography.Parents often look to private tutors to improve their children’s exam grades (Source: Flickr.com â€" bitjungle)This comes at a time when parents  are increasingly looking to private tuition to help improve their children's performance. It is telling that the most sought-after subject is maths, at a time when the UK hit its lowest ever worldwide programme for international student assessment (Pisa) ranking in the subject.Scotland fared worse than England in reading and maths, falling thirteen and seven points respectively from 2012 figures.Russell Hobby, leader of the N ational Association of Head Teachers, voiced concerns that the results showed “a lost decade” during which the government had pursued an “obsession” with structural change which resulted in “little impact on either standards or equity”.What conclusions can we draw from this? Is the school system in decline, or has  students' performance suffered? Should we embrace or be wary of new technologies and teaching methods?How do current trends fit into the history of private tuition?Personal Tutors: A Real AlternativeAt Superprof, we believe that, faced with this failure, students need complementary solutions that work in parallel with mainstream school education: We're talking about the use of private tutors for your benefit.Private lessons are going digital - Read more about the future of tutoring here on Superprof.It's important not to overburden pupils who already receive nearly 40 hours of instruction per week at school or college, but just a few hours a week in the compan y of a private tutor can provide a great learning environment leading to significant improvement. There are several reasons for this:Greater concentration by the pupil, who is not subject to the many disturbances of the classroom.One to one tuition allows the student to receive the full attention of her teacher.The opportunity to ask any question that comes to mind: Something which few children feel comfortable doing in the school classroom.An environment in which a student's knowledge gaps can be filled in one by one: Something that a teacher in charge of a class of thirty students simply does not have the opportunity to do.Private lessons are a great way to improve pupils’ performance (Source: Pixabay.com - Sasint)For all these reasons, we believe that private tutoring is a solution that will be increasingly adopted in the future.Learning Apps and GamesIt's impossible to envision the future of tutoring without looking at the world of educational apps and games.Already used by ma ny on a daily basis in a diverse range of topics, how can their popularity but increase?There are hundreds of apps to help you learn maths  (Source: Google Play Store)Many working in education have been quick to latch on to the idea of combing education and new technologies.

Parents, looking for a reputable teacher for their child, might be disappointed  by the  lack of availability of tutors in their area like tutors London. Here, video chat software like Skype, Hangouts and more can close the physical gap.You can even take music lessons online (Source: Pixabay.com - nightowl)Foreign languages also occupy an increasingly prominent place in our lives. We use them to communicate on trips, or simply at work.In order to progress in Spanish, Arabic of French, many parents look for private tutors for their children.However, the best teachers, and often native speakers living in their native countries, are not to be found nearby. So, why not take to the web, and let students converse with private teachers located anywhere in the world, without having to leave home!Private lessons of tomorrow will doubtless include such a remote model of online tutoring.Delegati ng to Online TutorsAt Superprof, we are well-placed to provide such support.Parents no longer hesitate to entrust their child's education, even homework and revision, to an online tutor. This is undeniably a growth area. But why?First, we can point to the above mentioned issue of a perceived decline in the quality of mainstream education and in students' performance, which drives parents to look for help from personal tutors.Secondly, we are in the midsts of a sharp increase in the range of  private tutoring services offered, enabling access to a larger number of home tutors.Thirdly, there are an increasing number of topics for students to explore.Teachers also remark on another factor: That parents increasingly tend to work longer hours, in which case it's natural that they have less time available to help their own children.What does private tuition have in store? (Source: Pixabay.com - sasint)The long tradition of getting a helping hand from mum or dad on the day's homework may b e in decline. So too is that of revising for exams with parent's help, despite the fact that today's parents have more years of study under their collective belts than previous generations and so are, academically speaking, more capable of helping their offspring.All this makes  private tuition is a matter of exchange, and one which comprises parents, students and tutors.The Increasing Role of Personal TutorsHomework is part of every student's schooling. It's one in which some parents leave their children to their own devices, while others call on a home tutor, who visits several times a week to lend a welcome hand. This allows the child to receive learning support beyond that which the parents could provide.So will be the private tutoring of  tomorrow: A more widespread role for the personal teacher in the context of after-school tuition at home. Because of their increasing diversity, but also due to more demands on parents' time, private teachers will become, in the near future, t he obvious go-to in helping children in their education.Moreover, they will bring different methods, sometimes modelled on those of the formal education system, at other times more specific to their own particular teaching experience, and including the new possibilities that technology has to offer.If you're a teacher, you can read about the state of the private tuition industry  in the UK here, on our blog.

The Pros & Cons of Applying Round 3 MBA Admissions

The Pros & Cons of Applying Round 3 MBA Admissions The following piece was written by Linda Abraham. Linda has been featured in ourAdmissions Expert seriesand is the President and Founder of Accepted.com. Should you apply Round 3 or wait to apply (or reapply) next year? As is usually the case in MBA admissions, it depends. Lets look at some of the pros and cons of applying to business school Round 3. Pros of Applying R3 1. Its your last shot at the class of 2015 If you have a class-of-2015-or-bust attitude, then R3 offers you a shot at getting in under the wire. While your chances of acceptance at most highly competitive programs do decrease as the rounds progress, you do still have a chance of getting in, and if the class of 2015 has your name written all over it, then you need to take this shot. 2. Later rounds are open to exceptional candidates You have a good shot at getting in R3 (or even R4 if you have that option) if you are a super impressive candidate. We keep talking about how hard it is to get into b-school in the later rounds, but obviously some people get in or there wouldnt be later rounds. So, if you have high stats, an intriguing diversity factor, impressive work experience, etc., then you should go for it these rounds are waiting for you. 3. Round 3 lets you fix mistakes you made in R1/R2 R3 gives you a second or third chance to try new MBA programs that are less competitive. You got dinged in R1 and R2 and learned from your mistakes; now its time to apply right to the right schools, and get in. 4. If you have the time and money, then you have nothing to lose Except for time and money (and potential heartbreak, which shouldnt be taken lightly!), you dont have much to lose from applying R3/R4. In fact, its possible that you have something to gain from the experience, even if you dont get in if you get feedback from your R3 dingers, then youll be better positioned to reapply next year. Cons of Applying R3 1. You may be rushed Many applicants apply R3 last minute after all, no one plans on getting rejected R1/R2 which means that you may not have the time you need to create a flawless application before the R3 buzzer. You need time to find the best possible recommenders, write a dazzling essay, and bulk up your work experience. Rule of thumb: A polished application next year is much better than a sloppy application R3. 2. You wont have time to retake the GMAT Dont apply Round 3 if youre not happy with your current GMAT score. Instead, spend the extra time studying and retaking the GMAT youll be better off applying R1 next year with a higher score. 3. Youll lack focus You may be so focused on getting your apps in before the seasons up that youll lose focus on why it is youre applying to b-school. One reason you may have been dinged in earlier rounds could have been your fuzzy goals. Get clarity, and then apply preferably Round 1 next year. 4.

What is Managing Up and 5 Reason Why Should You Care - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / What is “Managing Up” and 5 Reason Why Should You Care - Introvert Whisperer What is “Managing Up” and 5 Reason Why Should You Care Dorothy January 11, 2016 Career Development, Office Politics 2 responses As with many things that get discussed, we don’t always know or understand a topic except maybe at a cryptic level.  Managing Up is one of those concepts that you really want to fully grasp and act on.  Your career trajectory will be dependent on it. What is Managing Up? Managing up is the idea of taking responsibility for establishing a good working relationship with your boss.  The goal is to ensure mutual success.  It includes training your boss (if you want to call it that) about your job, you and how best to utilize you as a resource.  At the same time, you want to learn how to work most effectively with the boss taking into account such things as personality preferences and learning style. To a casual observer, or one that is not very “business mature” this could look like “sucking up” to the boss.  While not a very flattering moniker, you need to move past that notion. Good relationships will be THE most critical success factor in your career. The relationships you need to establish the need to include the boss. Why Should You Care? If you think about your career goals for a minute, it will include the idea of growth and promotions.  Rarely does a person go into a job hoping to be paid the same and to stay at the same level for the next 40 years.  Our goals include being promoted, even if you never fully considered that fact before now. Here are the powerful reasons why you should Manage Up: Visibility â€" If you want to go places professionally, you have to ensure management can easily know your contributions.  Never assume management knows what you have done. Managing up will ensure they know. Share-of-mind â€" When the all-important decisions are being made for promotions, if management knows you and what you do, you will be at the top of the list. Set the standard â€" When management has information about what and how you do things, it will be your way that will be how they measure other people.  That’s a great position to be in. Influence â€" Influence of anyone is accomplished by virtue of a good working relationship.  It means if you know important things like what’s important to your boss, what the hot buttons might be and deliver to them, you will have their attention. Support â€" You will move much faster if you have the support of your management.  It’s much easier to get that support when they know you’ve got their back.  It’s reciprocity at its finest.  You know and support their priorities and help them look good to their boss in return they will do the same for you. It’s OK for you to admit you have ambitions.  It’s not a dirty word.  Most of us do, whether or not it’s openly discussed.  You want to ensure Managing Up is a big part of your career toolkit from this point forward.  You’ll be amazed at how it can accelerate your career.

To learn more about Japan and its main cities, check out our other articles on the subject.If you're interested in learning Japanese, there are plenty of great resources online to help you. Similarly, you can also get help with your Japanese from one of the many talented tutors on Superprof.There are three main types of tutorial available for Japanese: face-to-face tutorials, online tutorials, and group tutorials. Each has its pros and cons and you'll have to choose the type that's right for you and your budget.Face-to-face tutorials are the most effective type of tutorials as you're the only student so the tutor can tailor the entire programme and each tutorial to you. Of course, this bespoke service comes at a cost and face-to-face tutorials tend to be the most costly per hour.If you're on a budget, online tutorials might be a better option. If you've got a decent webcam or microphone, your tutor can teach you how to speak Japanese remotely over the internet. Since the tutor doesn't have to travel to their students and can, therefore, schedule more tutorials each week, they tend to charge less than one-on-one tutorials.Group tutorials are usually the cheapest type of tutorial since there are several students all paying for the tutors time. While this is great for those on a budget, it can sometimes mean that you won't get as much one-on-one time with your tutor and the tutorials won't be tailored to you and what you want to learn. However, when it comes to language tutorials, this also means that you'll have many different people to practise your new language with, which can be more interesting than having to speak to the same person every session.Generally, it's a good idea to start a new hobby with group tutorials as they're less of an investment. Once you get serious about it, you can always start working with a face -to-face or online tutor and learning exactly what you want to learn.Before you make your decision, remember that many of the tutors on Superprof will offer free tuition for the first hour. This means you can try a few tutors, see if you like their teaching style, and see if you get along with them. After all, it's useless paying for a tutor that you don't enjoy spending time with!
