The Definition of Equilibrium - Solution Equilibrium

The Definition of Equilibrium - Solution EquilibriumOne of the things that I find interesting is the idea of solving an equation with a good solution equilibrium. In this definition, there are two forms of equilibrium. The first is a symmetrical one, and the second is asymmetrical.Symmetrical is a symmetry where one or more points in the equation satisfy all of the conditions. In other words, each point of the equation has all of the relevant conditions. For example, if we have a problem like 'The surface area of the ball is frac p^2 r^2 ,' the solutions to the equation should have all of the points being either equal to or greater than the given values. On the other hand, if the same point is smaller than or equal to the given value, we need to find a way to move it so that it is larger.Another problem that may arise when using a symmetrical definition is the use of the derivative of the curve. It might be useful to find a way to solve the equation for the derivative of the curve th at can be used for solving all of the problems.The last aspect of the definition of equilibrium that I want to touch on is the asymmetrical form of equilibrium. In this definition, there are two kinds of equilibrium, and they are symmetrical and asymmetrical.In the symmetrical definition, we will look at solving a curve for the derivative and then adding the product of all of the points in the equation. This can be done for two cases: the one where there is a symmetrical symmetry such as the one where both sides of the equation are equal to zero, and the other is where there is a non-symmetrical symmetry such as the one where one side of the equation is smaller than the other. These are the two kinds of solutions.In the asymmetrical definition, we look at solving for the derivative of the curve and then moving the points that are being either bigger or smaller to be in the same place. For example, if we have an equation like' frac p^2 r^2 approx 5.7 cdot-r^2,' the solution will be' frac p r approx 6.2 cdot r^2.' We can solve for the derivative using this symmetrical definition. Then we will move the point that is in the solution that is smaller than the equation so that it is equal to the equation, and we will also move the points that are in the solution that is larger than the equation so that they are closer to the left side of the equation.If you take any given equations for a specific problem, you can easily tell which form of equilibrium they are using by observing how they solve the equation. For example, if you look at a curve for (r=2), you will see that the product is symmetrical, and then you will see that the derivative is also symmetrical. In other words, the product of the points in the equation will be positive when it is symmetrical and negative when it is not.

Problem Solving Skills for Students

Problem Solving Skills for Students Like life, school is a journey filled with twists and turns. Problems arise, but students who learn to confront them early will be happier and more resilient as they approach college and the real world. Here is a framework to help you build your students problem-solving skills: Start with identification. In assignments or projects, teach students to identify the task in front of them, then define the problem(s) theyre trying to solve. Articulate possible solutions. An important part of the problem-solving process is brainstorming solutionsas many options as possible. Weigh the options. Encourage your students to consider the ideas theyve come up with: what are the possible problems with each? Which alternatives are most and least feasible? Create an action plan. Before diving in, students should decide what theyll do first to work toward solving the problem. This should involve thinking through the strategy, steps and desired outcomes The execution phase is where your students should attempt to try out a solution by carrying out the steps that they defined in their action plan. To build on their learning, they should evaluate their progress as they go. Lastly, its time for evaluation. Encourage your students to reflect on their efforts, problem-solving process, what worked and what did not. They might decide to go back to the drawing board if the problem didnt get solved as planned. One of the best ways to prepare your students for college and the real world is to teach them how to identify and solve problems on their own. Regular practice doing so will help them be more confident and independent no matter what academic challenges they face. See how Huntington Learning Center can help your students succeed.

How LOI English Helped a Tajikistan Woman Buy a Cow

How LOI English Helped a Tajikistan Woman Buy a Cow LOI English made a small loan that helped Hilola buy cattle.Most of us probably think of loans as a way to help us buy big expensive things like houses, cars or (in the United States at least) an education. But could small loans be a way of helping people around the world improve their lives, their families lives and their communities?Kiva thinks so.  Kiva  is a nonprofit that allows you to fund microloans, loans for small amounts of money, to people around the world. The microloans can be used to pay for school supplies, help someone start a business, pay for new appliances to improve their quality of life, or to buy cattle, as  in the case of Hilola, the Tajikistani woman who we chose to loan money to.If everything works well, Hilola will buy her cattle, start her business, and by the end of 2014, pay back her loan. Then Kiva will return the money we loaned, and we can loan it again if we like.Watch the video below to learn more about how Kiva works.Comprehension Questions.

Life after teaching abroad 5 tips for transitioning back to life at home

Life after teaching abroad 5 tips for transitioning back to life at home All great adventures must come to an end, and for most TEFL teachers this means packing up your suitcases, saying your goodbyes and heading back home. If you haven’t been in your home country for a few months or years, whether you’re thrilled to be back or longing for the place you just left, transitioning to life at home can be a challenge. After teaching English abroad, you’ll be full of new ways to look at the world and working out how to combine your international experiences with your old, familiar routines can be confusing at first. However, the good news is your TEFL experience overseas can set you up for some great new opportunities back at home. From transitioning your international English teaching experience into a longterm career in education to complete career changes, there are plenty of career paths open for TEFL teachers newly back on home soil. We’ve rounded up a few suggestions for a smooth transition. Let's start with a quick summary and then dive in deeper. What can you do after returning home from teaching English abroad? Teach English online. Earn a higher degree in education (B.Ed. or M.Ed.). Do an alternative teachingcertification. Apply your skills towards a new career path. Find another teaching job abroad! 1. Work from home by teaching English online If you want (or need!) to get back to work ASAP when you arrive home,it's super-easy to transition from theclassroom to English online. You can put all the skills you’ve just learned to use and sincemost online teaching jobs allow you to choose your own work hours, you still have plenty of time to prepare for your next step. You can have the time to plan your next move, go to interviews, start house huntingor stay on top of whatever other life decisions you need to make. When planning your schedule, just make sure to consider the peak online teaching hours in your timezone. In addition to the convenience of being able to work from anywhere and the flexibility to setyour own schedule, you'll find that another perk of teaching English online is good pay. As for any teachers still suffering from a serious case of wanderlust when they get home, teaching online can also be a great way to stay connected to the wider world and keep discovering new cultures. There are a number of great companies that let you teach English online from home. 2. Go back to university to get an education degree Many TEFL teachers discover a passion for teaching while they’re in the classroom abroad. We all know it takes time and experience to become a good teacher and by the time your overseasexperience is coming to an end, you might feel like you’re just starting to become really good at your job. If this is the case for you, it might be worth considering going into a life-longcareer in teachingby going back to school to get a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) or Master of Education (M.Ed.). TEFL teachers are often top candidates for university degrees in education, and going on to become licensed teachers, as they already have a practical understanding of teaching methodology and plenty of classroom experience. The experts at Times Higher Education (THE) have recently released a list of the best universities for education degrees in 2020, which can be very handy in choosing the best program for you. Those of you who completed the TEFL Certification from International House UC Berkeley to prepare for teaching abroad, may not be surprised to see that THE ranked University of California (UC), Berkeley’s department of education as the fifth-best in the world. Its Graduate School of Education offers advanced degrees in education that can even lead to a career outside of the classroom as an educational leader, scholar or researcher. Meanwhile, those of you who completed the University of Toronto (U of T) OISE TEFL course may notice that THE ranked U of T as the top school for education degrees in Canada (and 14th best in the world). The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) offers a Master of Teaching degree program for those who’d like to become licensed teachers. 3. Get an alternative teaching certification to become a licensed teacher Going back to university to get an education degree might sound great, but unfortunately, it’s not a realistic option for many (if not most) people due to the high cost and time commitment involved. So what if you don’t want to commit to a long and expensive B.Ed. or M.Ed. program, but still want to become a licensed teacher? Well, we have good news: if you already have a bachelor’s degree, some countries now offer faster and more affordable alternative teaching certification options. For example, US citizens and people who can legally work in the US can become licensed teachers through the Teacher Certification Program. This is a great option because you can get classroom-ready in as little as six months by completing the coursework online, on a part-time basis, from anywhere in the world. Plus, you’ll get the added bonus of scratching any lingering travel itches you may have by doing your clinical placement and teaching in Hawaii. If you’re an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you can take an alternative route to earning a Master of Teaching degree with the Teach for Australia Leadership Development Program. You’ll get to complete the program on an assisted scholarship while teaching for two years in a low socioeconomic community with full salary and benefits! UK citizens (and those who have the right to work in the UK) have a similar opportunity through the Teach First Training Programme. 4. Use your transferable skills to start a new career path On the other hand, for many TEFL teachers returning home means putting down the board markers and saying goodbye to grading homework for good. If you decide to end your teaching career and set out on a new career path, you can still use your classroom experience to your advantage. Your time abroad adds something memorable to your resume that will stand out to potential employers. While updating your resume after teaching abroad, make sure to highlight all of the transferable skills you’ve gained abroad: coaching, public speaking, organization, thinking on your feet, communication, cross-cultural and foreign language skills. So make sure to put teaching abroad on your resume. It’ll give you many great things to talk about in job interviews. Don’t forget to mention the independence and perseverance you showed by moving to a new country on your own! If your career change requires going back to school or retraining, your teaching experience may also work in your favor. TEFL teachers who decide to transition by pursuing Master’s degrees or postgraduate certificates often find that their deeper understanding of teaching and learning methodologies not only makes them great teachers, but also outstanding students. 5. Find a new teaching job abroad and get ready to hit the road again Some teachers who return home simply find they’ve found a lifestyle they prefer overseas. Maybe you miss a particular country and culture or, more generally, the thrill of discovering somewhere new and the experience of living in a foreign land. Don’t forget that it’s certainly possible to turn teaching abroad into a life-long career! So if after a few months at home you start seriously dreaming of teaching in China, Korea or Dubai, it might be time to create a free Teach Away profile (if you don't already have one) and check out the job boardtosee what opportunities are out there. TEFL certifications last for life, and once you know it’s possible to set up anywhere in the world with your teaching skills, you might find the place you feel most at home is actually far, far away. Look at the world from a new perspective In some ways, moving back home can be as big of a transition as moving overseas. Things that were familiar become different, you could be far away from friends you’ve come to see as family, and you might spend a few days (or weeks!) feeling like a fish out of water. Remember how it felt when you first moved abroad? Moving back home, you‘ll probably have to go through some of the same processes to help you acclimatize such as being proactive about your social life, getting to know your hometown all over again and, of course, getting used to a new workplace or school. When making choices about what to do next, think about the things you found most satisfying or interesting during your time overseas. You’ll be sure to have challenged yourself in new ways and have a new concept of what you’re capable of than before you left. What do you know about yourself now that you didn’t before? And what kind of challenges are you looking for in your next adventure? Because moving home can be an adventure in its own right. Choosing where to study next or which jobs to apply for might not have the same thrill as setting offoverseas, but making the right choice about what to do after teaching abroad can set your life off on an equally exciting new path back home.

A-Level Results Day Looms - Tutor Hunt Blog

A-Level Results Day Looms A-Level Results Day Looms A-Level Results Day LoomsSecondary SchoolsA-level Results day looms, but is the predicted grade system hopelessly out of date? All around the UK tens of thousands of students are eagerly awaiting the results of their A-Levels. After months of study, they are going to be presented with grades that will have a decisive impact upon the rest of their lives. I certainly don`t envy them - the trepidation they feel around this time must be overwhelming. For some the results will mean getting into their first choice university, and securing a place on a course, which will hopefully guide them towards their chosen career. For others who don`t achieve the required grades for their 2 preferred universities, results day may well be a time when they have to reappraise their options, and make different plans for the future. The `clearing` system is designed for students who don`t achieve their required grades, and are looking for another university to apply to. Clearing can be accessed via UCAS website, but students may find it easier to contact preferred universities directly, in order to see if they have any places, and will accept you with your grades. Many people advocate preparing in advance - before you receive your results you should have a contingency plan in place, with alternate universities and courses you would be interested in applying to if you don`t get your required grades. This will help save time when competing with many other students going through the clearing system. There are many teachers who support a radical change in the university application system, being of the opinion that predicted grades should not even be part of the process, and students should only decide where they wish to go after they get their results. Britain is actually the only nation that uses predicted grades as part of the university application system - as a UCU study, which investigated the processes in more than 30 countries revealed -and there are calls for this forecasting system to be scrapped completely. The University and College Union (UCU), a trade union that represents university staff, has said the UK is `out of step` with the rest of the world, and says an `urgent overhaul` of the application process is desperately needed. Research conduced by the UCU revelled an astonishing statistic: only 16 per cent of A-level grade predictions are correct. I can`t imagine any business would continue using a predictive system with such a low accuracy rate - and it may well be unduly stressful for students, not to mention an administration nightmare for universities, for degree applications to be based on such a fallible process. UCU general secretary Sally Hunt was quite clear in her disapproval of the predicted grades method of university application: `We are alone in the world in using a system where students are offered university places based on highly inaccurate predicted grades. Unconditional offers have made a mockery of exams and led to inflated grade predictions, while putting students under enormous pressure to make a snap decision about their future.` `The simplest and fairest way to deal with these problems is for us to adopt a system of post-qualification admissions, where offers are based on actual achievement rather than estimated potential, as the rest of the world does. It`s time for the government to give the system the urgent overhaul it needs.` Her opinion chimes with my own: courses should be chosen, and universities selected and applied for only after students have received their results. It seems plainly obvious that you should only make decisions based on what is available to you - predicted grades do just that, they predict what will be available to the student; as UCU`s research has shown though, the predictions they make rarely come true. The deputy general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders Malcolm Trobe voiced a similar opinion, citing the archaic nature of the predicted grades system: `Out of date and no longer fit for purpose, it is a historical quirk which is not mirrored in other countries and creates unnecessary problems. In particular, we are extremely concerned about the rising number of unconditional offers made to students before they have taken their A-levels.` A-Level results will be released on the 16th of august. Long gone are the days when the whole family would wait expectantly for the postman to deliver the letter containing the grades - nowadays students can `track` their university status in real time on the UCAS website. This will inform them if they have got into their university of choice - but it won`t actually tell them their grades. For this information they will need to travel into their school or college. By this time of course they will already know if the results are good or bad. 18 months ago0Add a Comment

Children Must Be Taught How to Think, not What to Think Children must be taught how to think, not what to think. ~Margaret Mead (1901-1978) Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist, a pioneer of the feminist movement in America, an important popularizer of anthropology, and one of the most prominent public intellectuals of her time. Mead was a respected and often controversial academic who popularized the insights of anthropology in modern American and Western culture.  Her reports detailing the attitudes towards sex in South Pacific and Southeast Asian traditional cultures influenced the 1960s sexual revolution. Mead was not only an innovative anthropologist, she was also an outspoken activist. Applying her conviction that cultural conditioning is a more major determinant of human behavior than genetic inheritance, she challenged prevailing assumptions about gender roles and aroused hope for a better human society.

Why It Is Important To Prepare For The ACS Exam

Why It Is Important To Prepare For The ACS ExamOne of the keys to the success of an A.S. degree program is making sure that the student understands the various components of the chemistry ACS exam. Once a student has learned the answers to the pre-test questions, he or she will need to take the actual exam.The Chemistry ACS exam is usually four tests over four hours. The student should take his or her best efforts to prepare. There are many resources available to help with this preparation. In the world of standardized testing, there are specific test prep books that are designed specifically for this exam. You may find them at your local bookstore or online, and many of them also include practice tests as well.There are several common elements that will appear on your Chemistry exam. One of the most important, of course, is the sample questions. This is the portion of the test that actually tests your knowledge. The questions may ask you to analyze solutions to scientific problems o r to use a chemical formula to answer a question. To prepare for this part of the exam, you may want to make copies of some of the sample questions, complete with solutions, and to study these answers in advance.It is also important to understand the concepts of analytical chemistry, specifically if you are preparing for a degree in this field. In many cases, the requirements of this field will require you to take a strong concentration in one particular chemistry area, such as organic chemistry, biochemistry, or even nuclear physics. Knowing the basics of chemical terminology is an important part of preparing for this test.When preparing for the test, the student must also have the confidence to face questions that pose an interesting problem. In most cases, students will need to take multiple-choice or short-answer tests. Remember that many of the questions on your exam will be multiple-choice, so the right answer does not necessarily have to be the correct answer. Instead, the ri ght answer is often not what you thought it was.While it is true that many of the problems that appear on your ACS exam are challenging, your score on the exam can be influenced by how much you know about analytical chemistry. If you don't already know everything that is required for chemistry in the United States, then it may be best to take more of the test before deciding to do so. You may also want to study for the test for different hours, so that you don't have to stop studying at the last minute. By taking it under a schedule that allows for time to study for the exam, the student can study for the exam in his or her spare time without worrying about any looming deadlines.The ACS exam will become more difficult as you progress through your degree program. As the student advances to higher levels, the problems become more advanced, and as you become a more experienced chemist, the number of questions that you will need to know will increase. Be sure to take your preparation se riously, as the harder you prepare, the better your chances of passing the exam.
