The Different Types of Tutoring Assessments

The Different Types of Tutoring AssessmentsTutoring assessments are a common part of many private schooling lessons. It is used to measure student performance and measures the student's progress. Generally, tutoring assessments are used in all types of schools. Some of the common uses include testing the student's reading comprehension, spelling, writing, and math skills, while others use it to identify learning gaps, whether the student is preparing for an upcoming exam or to create a curriculum outline.As they become more common, assessments have become more accessible to teachers, parents, and the general public. They can be purchased by the school itself, by home schooling groups, by tutoring agencies, and even through online assessment providers. There are so many different providers and methods available that it can be very confusing to know where to start!There are two types of assessment, both of which are used for different reasons. Some assessments are simply to measure the growth of the student, while other assessments to measure the progress that has been made. Either way, you can use them for many different reasons. It is important to note, however, that some courses do not require any assessment at all.One type of assessment is known as the Grades, or Grade Point Average (GPA). This will be based on your total number of credit hours received. The grade point average (GPA) is calculated by taking your cumulative grades over the course of the semester, adding any honors, special, or dissertation coursework, and subtracting any special requirements.Another type of assessment is called a student profile. In this assessment, the student receives a report based on his or her success in each subject area. These are helpful for teachers because they provide them with data on how well the student did in each subject area and how much of an advantage that subject area has on their performance.A third type of assessment is called a Private School Report (PSR ). These are reports based on data collected from parents, teachers, and administrators in private and parochial schools. Their purpose is to provide data about the number of students enrolled in the particular school, the percentage of white students, the percentage of students enrolled in honors and doctoral level courses, and any honors and doctoral awards given out.As you can see, there are a wide variety of assessments that are currently in use. Depending on your needs, the best option for you may be different than the other options. The type of assessment you want will depend on your needs and also the methods you will use to administer the assessment.

How to Keep Costs Down When Ordering Food Delivery

How to Keep Costs Down When Ordering Food Delivery Image via https://pixabay.com Stick to Ordering When You Have a Code The best way to save money when ordering food delivery is to try to stick to ordering when you have a promo code. Apps like Postmates and Doordash offer frequent deals provided that you have the right code, so try to keep track of the discount codes that you receive and try to order accordingly. While sometimes these discounts can be applied to any type of food that you order, such as when you can get free delivery, other times you may have to order from a certain place or choose a certain type of food in order to save money. While it’s not a good idea to order food delivery just because you have the codeâ€"as you might actually end up ordering more often and spending more money that wayâ€"keep the discounted options in mind if you’re going to be ordering food anyway. Order During Off Times One of the major costs of food delivery, especially if you’re ordering from a place that’s not right in your area, is, of course, the delivery cost. However, you can save some money and keep the delivery cost under control by ordering during off times when there’s less demand. If you’re planning to order food delivery, try ordering a couple hours before a mealtime. You’ll be able to pay a lower delivery fee, and you can just warm your food back up when you’re ready to eat. In addition, as a general rule, make sure that you check the delivery fee before you order food, so you know exactly how much you’re paying and don’t get caught off-guard by a higher fee. Stick to Places Close to Home Another way to keep the cost of food delivery down is to limit yourself to ordering from restaurants nearby. The closer the place that you’re ordering from, the lower your delivery fee will be, so you can save a lot of money this way. If your options for food nearby are limited, it’s a good idea to set a limit for yourself in terms of how far away you can order from. If you have a rule already set out for yourself, then the next time you’re looking for a place to order dinner from you’ll be able to automatically rule some places out that may be too expensive. Be Realistic about How Much You Can Eat   One common mistake when it comes to ordering food delivery that can make the cost quickly add up is to get overexcited and order too much food. When you’re ordering from a restaurant instead of eating one of the same boring meals that you always make for yourself, you might be tempted to order more than you can actually eat just because you’re treating yourself to food delivery anyway. However, if you fall into this habit you’ll run the risk not only of wasting food when you can’t finish it all, but also of wasting money. One good strategy for avoiding this problem is to set a limit for yourself on how much you can spend when ordering food delivery,    rather than just ordering as much food as you think you want. Consider Subscribing to Delivery Apps If you order food delivery often, you may actually want to consider paying for a subscription like Postmates Unlimited. Because delivery fees can be quite expensive, you may be able to save money by paying a flat rate monthly fee in order to get food delivery as often as you likeâ€"especially if you tend to use the same delivery service regularly. Keep track of how much you spend on delivery fees each month to determine if it would be worthwhile for you to get a delivery subscription. Food delivery can feel like a lifesaver for a college student who doesn’t like to cook, or who doesn’t have time. Unfortunately, if you’re also on a student budget, the cost of food delivery can become a huge burden on your wallet. Rather than having to cut out the luxury of food delivery altogether, however, try out some of the above techniques to keep your monthly delivery budget under control.

Back-to-School Month September Report

Back-to-School Month September Report This post reports about company activities in the month of September, the back-to-school month in 2013. While the back-to-school season started late and slow, the month of September 2013 ended strong. In fact, with an number of 746 tutoring jobs this September became almost as successful as the all-time record of October 2012 when we referred 769 students to tutors. Moreover, the unique visitor count crossed the 10,000 mark for the first time; 10,248 to be precise. In our analysis, the downward trend in web stats observed over the summer months was stopped primarily due to two events. First, the annual back-to-school season when students return to school looking extending their learning options through tutoring. Secondly, an unexpected Google search update: Hummingbird. This new algorithm ranks Tutorz search snippets higher for longer search queries, e.g. Chinese tutor new york city. Hummingbird is a milestone in Googles path away from the traditional keyword match algorithm towards a more semantical (meaning-based) match. In this context, our work with the Google webmaster tools most likely contributed to our back-to-school success. Supporting signal of our Hummingbird hypothesis is another a drop in the bounce rate from 52% in July to 47% in August to now a mere 42%. (When Google sends better matched visitors to TutorZ the bounce rate would drop.) Another signal in support of our Hummingbird hypothesis is the increase in pageviews per visit which is now at 5.38. Yet as always there are some downward stats: The Alexa traffic rank decreased from 200,000 to 277,000 for the US region. Worldwide, the traffic rank remains steady at 800,000. Furthermore, Craigslist and Backpage marketing tools continue to performing quite poor. Also, the TutorZ PR rank remains at a constant 3, no upgrade to 4 in sight. The marketing department achieved several big events this September. TutorZ was named a California Company of Excellence by the Small Business Institute in Washington, DC. Next, the principal authority on homeschooling awarded TutorZ the Top Homeschooling Curriculum award. Then there was Johns excellent article Another School Year Begins and Lillys stunning success of her post on How Japanese Children Multiply (718 likes and 20,000+ views).  Finally, we produced the 2nd video of our Chinese for Travelers series. On the technological front we can report an update to production server with the better performing Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.4. We have released improvements to our tutor profile pages which are a part of our long-awaited ratings review feature. Next, we now have 4 fully automated and well-designed emails directed at tutors (activation, welcome, profile completion and social media email). These email aim to improving the profile content, social media exposure and assessment of tutor quality. Furthermore, the old registration incomplete system was retired in favor for the new tutor approval system. Overall, TutorZ had a better than expected back-to-school season. Stay tuned for our ratings review feature in October together with even higher stats.

4 Brilliant Interactive Resources to Use in Your Language Learning

4 Brilliant Interactive Resources to Use in Your Language Learning 4 Types of Neat Interactive Tools for Learning a Language Online Humans need to interact.In our daily lives, we send each other pictures, text, chat, meet up for coffee and plan get-togethers.So why should language learning be any different?Books are great, but sometimes you need to add some fun, interactive resources into the mix!Interactive learning resources can mean a world of difference in your language learning.They can help create community, or simply provide feedback.Even online apps and tools can go a long way to making your learning feel relevant and connected.Theyre a breath of fresh air, and including them in your language learning journey will keep you motivated and having fun.So take a break from traditional learning methods, and start using some interactive resources online! 4 Types of Neat Interactive Tools for Learning a Language Online1. Journal with PurposeSome  of the coolest online resources are language-learning blogs and diaries. On these sites, you can post a blog entry in your target language, and native speakers will co rrect your grammar.Turnaround is quick, so you can often have your corrections within the same day. And since more than one native can correct your entry, you’ll often get more than one right way to express a conceptâ€"that’s great help in developing nuance. You also can ask them to clarify their corrections. All in all, it’s a great way to practice writing!Popular Journaling WebsitesLang-8: The most well-known journaling site, Lang-8 has a huge community, and you wont have difficulty finding native speakers to correct your work. Correct others entries in your native language to rack up points and increase your visibility on the site!italki: While italki is better known for its language exchanges and tutoring, it also provides a platform for those of us who want to focus on writing. The Notebook feature  works much like Lang-8, although the community often uses it more for asking questions about the target language.How to Maximize Online JournalsSo, you’ve decided to make an account on either Lang-8 or iTalki. Now what? How can you get the most out your language practice?Mix in SRSIf you use an SRS (spaced repetition system), you can enter corrected sentences into flashcards so that you review the corrections with regularity. You can enter the whole sentence with an English translation on the back, and you’ll remember the correction! If you get more than one correction, put both on the front of the card so you remember the variety. Simply seeing the corrected sentence over and over will solidify the correct grammar into your memory.If you enjoy SRS and want to make this tool as efficient as possible, you can combine this with Olly Richards Grammar Hero course, which is designed to help everyone master the building blocks of languages in a fun, easy way.Stick with a ScheduleWriting practice can be great, but youll reap more benefits if you stick with a schedule. Regular practice will help you improve far more than sporadic writing and feedback. Whethe r it’s daily, weekly or monthly, regularity  will ensure you make progress.Variety!This whole post is about adding interactive variety to your language learning, but we can add variety within these resources, too. To get the most out of online journaling, write about a host of different things. Diary entries are great and easy to compose, but they use limited vocab and grammar since you’re only talking about yourself and simple things that happened during the day.To branch out:Try writing book reviews for novels or comics you read in your target language.Summarize a TV episode or movie you watched.Type out your textbook exercises so that native speakers can correct them.If youre enrolled in a class, get feedback on your class assignments.Write faux (or real!) letters to friends, family, penpals, fictional characters, etc.And if you’re imaginative and creative, try your hand at writing short stories or poetry in your target language! Variety will stretch your linguistic muscles by forcing you to adapt to different styles and formats. The vocabulary youll use in a book review is vastly different than what you would use in a friendly letter. And variety means you wont get bored!Keep It AttainableIf journaling seems intimidating, keep your word count goals simple and attainable. If 200 or 300 words is all you can do on a weekly basis, that’s fine! Rememberâ€"consistency is better than sporadic wordiness.2. Learn Languages Through Interactive GamesGames are a great way to solidify vocab and grammar. They can make memorization fun by giving you achievable goals to strive for! Now, when you’re addicted to a game, at least you can say it’s educational.Popular Game-ified WebsitesDuolingo: Learn basic vocabulary and grammar by completing your Duolingo Skill Tree. Youll work through basic greetings to abstract concepts by taking quick and easy quizzes. Duolingo tracks your learning streaks if you play every day!FluentU: FluentU provides access to short snippe ts of native materials, along with all the resources you need to decipher and learn the language. Learn your target language through movie clips, trendy music and hilarious commercials!Memrise:  Memrise allows users create flashcard sets that take advantage of spaced repetition. There are plenty of language options, so Memrise is a great way to get started on a new language or to brush up on advanced vocabulary.How to Maximize Language Learning Games#goalsGet the most out of your gaming by, again, setting goals. If you commit to a certain number of lessons each day, the consistency is sure to pay off. Set alarms and reminders to make sure you put in the time!Play to Win!Many of these game sites tally your score in some fashion, which means you can compete! For example, Duolingo has its Lingot system where you rack up points for maintaining long streaks of consistency, Memrise tracks your points and posts them to your courses leaderboard and FluentU keeps track of what percentage of a video youve learned so far.Whether you compete against your real-life friends, strangers on the leaderboards or just yourself, youre sure to boost your progress! And if you cant find someone to compete with, check out point #4 on this list to find some language-loving friends to challenge.Dont Go OverboardAll that being said, games are supposed to be fun.  So, if you dont have much time to learn or are feeling stressed out, these game-ified methods will be most effective if you play in shorter spurts in between other tasks, language-related or otherwise, as opposed to forcing yourself to do a long stretch all at once.3. Hack Your Language ExchangesOnline language exchanges have never been more popular. Your speaking ability progresses by leaps and bounds when you can talk with a real live native speaker. The feedback and practice are priceless, and you can get all this without leaving the country!Popular Language Exchange WebsitesConversation Exchange: This is a general language e xchange website. You can search for conversation partners using a number of different criteria. Message someone who seems like a good bet, and go from there! This site is used only to contact people initiallyâ€"all speaking practice happens on Skype or a similar app. Conversation Exchange is great if youre looking for a long-term partner and regular practice.HelloTalk: HelloTalk is a twist on the traditional language exchange setup. With the HelloTalk app, you select your target language, and the app  gives you a list of matches for you to talk to. Choose one and start talkingâ€"no need to download Skype or anything else! HelloTalk is great for quickly finding someone to practice with; however, other language exchange sites might be better if youre looking for a long-term friendship.How to Maximize Your Language ExchangeFind a Great PartnerNo matter which resource you decide to use, including a language exchange in your study regimen really helps, especially after you’ve reached a n intermediate level or so. But finding a good language partner can be hard. A partner who has more in common with you will be easier to talk to than a random person.Consider:AgeCareer or field of studyMarried/single/kids/no kidsInterests and hobbiesLevel of language learning intensity (It’s hard to keep to a schedule if your partner is interested only in practicing when it’s convenient, and vice versa!)Get Some Conversation InspirationOnce you have a partner, you need to keep conversations going, and this can be difficult when there’s a language barrier and when you don’t quite know each other yet.Try questions from resources like Conversation Starters World. Sure, the questions are cheesy, but in language exchanges it keeps things varied and fun. It’s the same principle we talked about with language journalingâ€"you want to talk about a wide variety of topics to get the most out of your language exchange. Talking about the weather or what’s new isn’t going to keep yo u going for long!Connect to the CultureYou can also use your partner for native media suggestionsâ€"movies, music, books! When youre not a member of a particular culture, it can take time to get that “insider” level knowledge. With a new friend who’s grown up in it, you can access more pop culture!Take Notes and StudyAnd finally, take notes during your exchanges and review them regularly. SRS is helpful here, as always, but don’t let your conversations go by without digesting the helpful information you get.4. Take Advantage of Online Language Learning CommunitiesInteraction doesn’t have to come part and parcel with the resource itself. Instead, you can seek out interaction and community to support your language learning! We all know having a friend or two striving for the same goal keeps us all on track. But what if we can find more than that? There are a number of forums online with serious and newbie language learners alike. Commiserate with fellow newcomers and get adv ice from veterans. Everyone benefits!Popular Language Learning ForumsHow to Learn Any Language (HTLAL): This is the oldest and most popular language learning forum. These learners vary from people learning a language for work or study, to  serious hobbyists and polyglots.A Language Learners Forum: A sister site to HTLAL. The original forum had technical difficulties, so some users moved here to continue talking and practicing. The community, however, is not identical to HTLAL, and more recently, its grown into its own entity!Unilang: This site  has language-specific forums where people learning the same target language can share resources and advice. Whether youre learning Faroese or Spanish or Latin, youll find others who share your passion!How to Maximize Language Learning ForumsCompeteWhile the games listed in point #2 are great platforms on which to compete, these communities are where youll find fellow serious language learners. Language learning communities also get creative w ith their competitions, so dont feel limited to games that explicitly keep score!HTLAL and A Language Learners Forum regularly compete in Super Challenges where learners commit to watching a huge number of target language movies and reading a mammoth amount of target language books.For the less hardcore out there, there are six-week challenges, where learners keep score on Twitter. During a six-week challenge, learners commit to a goal they make themselves, and then try to put in the hours to achieve it within (obviously) six weeks. Learners with busy schedules are free to make achievable goals for themselves, while learners with more free time can shoot for the stars!Log Your ProgressAdditionally, language logs are an awesome feature of HTLAL and its sister site.

What Are the Benefits of Being a Member of Smart Tutor?

What Are the Benefits of Being a Member of Smart Tutor?Smart Tutor is a project by Cynthia Staunton that connect children with their needs through teachers who are certified and experienced in the areas of mathematics, social studies, and science. Staunton was able to get her children into some of the best public schools in their region of Tennessee. Now they are all attending the same high school, and it is a big transition for them.The blog is about their experiences as parents and the experiences of their children. It is also about a group of teachers who have been working together as a group for several years now. They regularly meet and share ideas, and communicate through email, instant messaging, and voice messages. They also connect with one another and offer help to other teachers, like the board of directors of a special-education organization.The project was originally intended to start with four tutors, but now there are eight members. Each member is an education teacher with a master's degree in education. Some of them have taught before, while others have been certified for many years. The project was started because the teachers felt there was a need for a program that was aimed at providing great teaching to disadvantaged students, and that they could network with others who wanted to do the same.This overall process of networking is what makes this type of endeavor so unique. Staunton wanted the teachers to get together and talk and build a sense of community among themselves. It is a good way to increase the overall satisfaction of the teachers' job and to also give them something to work on. Their mission is to improve the quality of education that children receive, and to provide it to children where it will matter the most.Smart Tutor is different than most online tutoring services because most of them involve connecting people online. That can be quite scary for some. That is one of the reasons it is so popular. Instead of giving kids a si mple test, like the one included in tests that usually test vocabulary and critical thinking skills, Smart Tutor gives teachers a test that requires everything from reading and writing to math and science knowledge.It can also give tutors' feedback on how they can improve the way they do their teaching. This is not a time for passive learning. You are responsible for your child's success or failure, and you have to put that into action in order to get the best results.Since tutoring with Smart Tutor is all done online, the teacher has many ways to be involved. They can set up meetings with teachers from other districts who are interested in their program. They can join discussion boards that allow them to interact with others who are also doing the tutoring. All of these ways to help to make the experience more productive for the teachers involved.

Guide To Build Good Relationships with Co-Workers - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Guide To Build Good Relationships with Co-Workers - Introvert Whisperer Guide To Build Good Relationships with Co-Workers Human beings are social creatures by nature: and, that goes for the introverted people too. Positive interactions and friendships are very critical, especially at the workplace. Remember that it is where people spend most hours of their lives. The management is well aware of what good relations at the workplace come with; it is for that reason that emotional intelligence tests are carried out alongside cognitive ability test during hiring. Good work relationships contribute to better performance as people find work more enjoyable if they relate well with their colleagues. A good work relationship is defined by mutual respect, trust, welcoming diversity, open communication, and mindfulness. While it may be easy for folks with certain personality types to create good relationships at the workplace, for some like the introverts it may be a little bit challenging. However, the following tips will go a long way in helping you achieve that. 1. Work on your people skills People skills can be defined merely as behavioral interactions. For you to foster good relationships at the workplace, the first thing you should take care of is your people skills. Equip yourself with soft skills, which mean how you deal with conflict, communicate and collaborate with others. You can conduct a self-test and see where you are with people skills and identify areas that you will need to improve. 2. Assess your relationship needs You need to take time and determine your needs in relationships. Know what others need from you and what you need from them. That way you will be able to make significant improvement in your relationships. 3. Develop your EI You need to develop your emotional intelligence. It plays a critical role in helping you know how other people feel and interpreting their emotions. It is also essential for you as a person as it will help you take control of your own feelings. 4. Create time to build relationships Do not stay behind your desk all day at the workplace. Step out of your shell once in a while. It does not mean that you won’t get your work done. Twenty minutes a day should be enough. You can further segment it into five minutes and use them to know how your colleague is doing at the other corner of the office. Lunch hours are also a great time to interact with your colleagues and build relationships. If you are used to going for lunch alone, consider going with someone this time around. 5. Be positive No one wants to be around a person who rants the whole day about the boss or something else about the job. For you to have healthy relations at the workplace, it is essential that you be positive. It is contagious and more so, attractive. It is important also to note that good work relationships are based on mutual respect. That means that you should stay away from anything that puts that at stake. Therefore you should avoid gossiping and manage boundaries.
