Students spend a large chunk of their day-to-day lives in schools. Some of them are exposed to traumatic events in life, not only affecting their daily lives, but also academic progress.  According to the American Psychological Association (APA), the definition of trauma is as follows:

A co-teaching team usually includes a general teacher paired with a special education teacher. The purpose of this is to promote a greater degree of inclusion and make general education accessible to all kinds of learners in a classroom. Both the educators on a co-teaching team are responsible for planning and delivering lectures, assessing students, determining performance improvement and managing the classroom. Effective co-teaching, however, takes a lot of time and effort to perfect.

When you’re younger, everyone tells you that the key to happiness in life is following your dreams. If there’s one thing that you could do or be, what would you pursue? When the question is framed like that, figuring out what your dream is seems like a piece of cake. And then, without fail, reality comes knocking on your door. It forces its way in, picks up your dreams, and takes them away.

Nurses play a complex and critical role in all major healthcare settings. They are trained to have sound medical knowledge, carry out a variety of technical duties and are expected to exhibit outstanding interpersonal skills. Their job duties are varied and no two days on the job are alike.

The debate is an age old one: should parents take the brunt of the responsibility for their children’s behavior or should teachers and the school? Many argue that parents are the ones who are responsible for shaping their children and must play a vital role during their formative years to teach them what is right and what is wrong.

Growing up, there are certain individuals who have a profound impact on our lives. These individuals could include parents, loved ones, and teachers. Teachers in many ways help to mold young students in very important ways. There are some teachers who have signature sayings or mantras; little pearls of wisdom that they try and instill in their students. These ‘catchphrases’ are intended to inspire students, to help them push their boundaries and achieve their goals. Some teachers have had such a profound impact on their students that the catchphrases they frequently used in their classrooms are now life mottos for many of those students.

The authors of the recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine have come to a clear conclusion: they claim that female doctors are better than male doctors. But how is ‘better’ quantified? The study points out a number of findings which seem to indicate that the level of care female doctors provide to their patients, as well as the quality of the care, is noticeably higher.

Studying is an integral part of the learning experience. For most students, the process of trying to ‘make the grade’ can be a back-breaking one. Many students spend all of their time and energy studying so hard and yet, the result isn’t what they hoped for. In fact, many of these students end up under-performing. If kids are studying so hard, why is it that their grades aren’t reflecting their efforts?
