Teach Away Case Study American United School of Kuwait (AUS)
Teach Away Case Study American United School of Kuwait (AUS) For this particular private international school, Teach Away recruitment specialists offered a full-service recruitment plan including in-person interviews with school officials. One of the challenges included many last-minute vacancies to be filled. AUS provided pre-kindergarten - grade 5 instruction in its founding year, with plans to expand to middle school-level education in the 2014 - 2015 school year. In order to begin as planned in September 2013, the school required a faculty of American pre-kindergarten - grade 5 teachers and administrators. The challenge This private international school required more than 20 teachers and administrators with strong leadership skills to make their first academic year a success. All candidates were required to be US citizens with a Bachelorâs degree in the relevant subject field and a minimum of 2 years of previous experience. AUS selected Teach Away to be their exclusive recruitment partner, responsible for the sourcing of American candidates that met the schoolâs requirements and the arrangement of a series of in-person interviews between the candidates and school organizers in major cities across the US (Las Vegas, New York, and Atlanta). Teach Awayâs recruitment process Teach Awayâs account managers began the recruitment process, including the organization of in-person interviews across the United States.

Government willing to bail out some Universities - Tutor Hunt Blog
Government willing to bail out some Universities Government willing to bail out some Universities, but will others be left to fail? Government willing to bail out some Universities, but will others be left to fail?UniversitiesWe are all used to reading about the government bailing out Banks when they face hard times, but what about universities? Can they expect the same kinds of help the financial sector regularly receives? Are they also, to use the popular American colloquialism, `too big to fail`? A university is not part of the capitalist system - they are public institutions, funded by the government, and of course by students themselves, who must pay substantial amounts for their attendance. The purpose of a university though is not to make money - they are seats of learning, palaces of higher education. Many receive partial funding from private companies for research purposes, but this goes towards ancillary aspects of the university. They are there to educate, not to make money. The international ratings agency Moody`s recently revelled to its clients that it believes there to be a high probability the government would step in to assist a university that was facing financial hardship. This is not to say that they believe most universities are acting complacently, nonchalantly believing that whatever troubles they face, the government will save them. It is actually not unusual for universities to borrow money from a bank in the same way that a company would - but out of the nine universities that have recently taken out large loans from banks Moody`s have attached negative warnings to the credit ratings of as many as seven of them. Out of all the UK universities only Oxford and Cambridge are rated by Moody`s as being stable financially. This summer it was reported that a university, so far unnamed, had received a 900,000 bail out package from the Office for Students, the government funded UK higher education regulator. The timing was comically apposite, given that only this month the head of the OfS, Sir Michael Barber, announced in a speech that they will not be bailing out universities in the future, and that they must not assume they will always be propped up with emergency financial packages. At the wonderfully named Wonkiest higher education festival in London earlier this year he laid out his views on the subject: `The OfS will not bail out providers in financial difficulty. This kind of thinking not unlike the `too big to fail` idea among the banks will lead to poor decision-making and a lack of financial discipline, is inconsistent with the principle of university autonomy and is not in students` longer term interests,` `Should a university or other higher education provider find themselves at risk of closure, our role will be to protect students` interests, and we will not hesitate to intervene to do so. We will not step in to prop up a failing provider.` These are indeed hard times for many universities - rising tuition costs have meant that the number of students applying to universities has dropped in recent years. Their financial uncertainty is only exacerbated by the imminent threat of a funding review, commissioned by Teresa May earlier this year. It seems that larger universities are afforded more protection by the government, with a financial bail out being more readily given to them than to smaller ones. While Oxford and Cambridge enjoy top triple A ratings according to Moody`s, Manchester only has an Aa2 rating, while Keele and Leeds languish with Aa3 ratings. Moody`s said the drop in University applicants has played a major role in low credit ratings, with uncertainty concerning tuition fees, general funding, and brexit related fears only adding to their financial uncertainty. The rating`s agency wasn`t all negative in its report however, going on to say that it expected general credit ratings for UK universities to remain good, thanks to secure debt management plans, and the well respected international reputation they enjoy. It uttered a cautionary note however, saying that `some rated universities are likely to post operating deficits as a result of these pressures over the next couple years.` The UK has some of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world - it would be a terrible shame for any of these to be lost due to financial mismanagement. It also has a number of smaller, newer universities, that may not be able to solicit as much aid as their larger, more venerable counterparts; and it would be sad indeed if a disproportionate amount of assistance went to assist the larger universities, while the smaller institutions were left to fend for themselves. 15 months ago0Add a Comment
5 Writing prompts to Keep Children Writing over the Holidays - ALOHA Mind Math
5 Writing prompts to Keep Children Writing over the Holidays Time away from school doesnât have to mean your children stop learning. Sure, give them plenty of time to play and explore new holiday toys and games, but build in a few fun writing exercises too. ALOHAâs Reading | Writing program works to get children to see writing as a fun and enjoyable experience and build confidence at it, rather than having writing being a chore. Have kids write a short note to family members who they only see during the holidays. Have them tell a story of something exciting that happened to them this past year, or tell of a memory they have of this family member. It doesnât have to be long, but try and help them find a beginning, a middle and an end to the story. They can then tuck these stories in an envelope with the family gift. Have your child write thank you notes for gifts they received. Try and make it fun, rather than an obligation. Help them pick out a pack of thank you cards at the store, or help them create cards from supplies you have around home. Have them thank the individual by name for the gift and ask them for one memory of the person â" âI really liked last summer when you let me pet the new kittens when we visited.â Help them think of something that might make that person smile. Pick a different cultureâs holiday and help them write a little report on it. Or something from your heritage, if it is different from what you do now or what is usual in the U.S. Help them go online and read about it. Find a book in the library on the topic and read it together. They could even interview the family member to learn about the holiday traditions. Then parents can help them write a report telling others about the holiday, traditions, foods and activities of that cultureâs holidays. If your child isnât shy, let them read their report sometime over the holidays with the rest of the family. If your family does not celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza your child can write about the winter season. If you are in an area where you get snow, your child could write a story titled âThe Day My Favorite Snowman said Hello.â Or if you live in an area that doesnât see snow your child could use their imagination and write about âThe Day it Snowed in [name the Town or State],â and imagine the things that might happen. Write about a family holiday tradition from any time of year. Have your child describe the tradition, what it looks and sounds and smells like, how it make them feel. If there is an interesting story behind the start of the tradition in your family, they could interview the family member. Remember to keep the writing light and fun and not make it a chore. Perhaps pick a time when your child says âIâm bored, I donât know what to do.â Most kids like using their imaginations, and you can invite them to use their imagination in writing down a story.

Example 1: Multiply the two digit numbers 56 and 13? Solution: Given are two digit numbers 56 and 13. Here for the multiplication 56 is multiplied to the ones place of 13; 56 x 3 = 168. Now the 56 is multiplied to the tens place of 13; 56 x 1 = 56. (Place a zero next to the derived answer gives 560.) Now add the two multiplied numbers. This gives 168 + 560 = 728. Hence 56 x 13 = 728. Question: Multiple choice question (Pick the correct option.) What is the answer when 426 is multiplied with 5? a) 2000 b) 2300 c) 2130 d) None of these.
