Efficiency in Classroom Management
Get PDFThe subject of classroom management can arguably be one of the most important aspects of an individual’s teaching career. When looking at my field of study, physical education, it can have a positive impact on student learning or be detrimental to the lesson at hand. All the planning and preparation ahead of time on subject matter can mean nothing if good classroom management is not in place. Konti (2011) maintains, “Class management is one of the most significant aspects of teaching because of the reason that teaching could be more effective when a proper class management is applied. It does not matter how excellent a teaching is set, it is not possible to be successful unless a class is managed accurately. As a result class management should be regarded as the basic ingredient at making the teaching successful” (pg. 37).
This action research project examined studies on what strategies for classroom management are the most effective and how these can be differentiated for best practices in the physical education environment. This action research project dives into a literature review, looks into the data, and analyzes the data to determine best practice

The Impact of Napoleon Bonaparte in Egypt
Get PDFIn 1789 the French Directory authorized Napoleon Bonaparte to invade Egypt, thus introducing Egypt to modern French civilization. At this time Egypt was still ruled by the Mamluks who served under the Sublime Porte of the Ottoman Empire with little to no interference from the far away Porte. As explained by Jeremy Black, neither the Directory nor Napoleon were overly concerned with making enemies of the dying Ottoman Empire: “Napoleon assumed that the Turks could be intimidated or bribed into accepting the French invasion…”1 . This adverse view of the Porte demonstrates the typical Western behavior and stereotypes towards Muslims and Middle Easterners as weaker than or less than European powers. The French invasion of Egypt cemented already prevalent stereotypes in both the Middle East and the West into the modern era. These stereotypes alongside the Porte’s inability to protect Egypt from invasion “proved” to the West that they were easily able to take territory from the Ottoman Empire and framed this imperialism as re-building civilization that lapsed under Ottoman rule. France’s attempt to colonize Egypt would ultimately fail due to Napoleon’s deplorable actions in Egypt and his false claim to authority despite no military support coming from the Directory (as a result of the blockade set into place by the British and Porte alliance)
Circle Packings
No full textIn this research project we pick apart circle packings and in doing so we consider the history of major mathematicians who added insight. By providing definitions and background knowledge we seek to understand how to construct circle packings and we show what it means to be mutually tangent. In this presentation we will also take notice of related topics such as sphere packings and Ford Circles and touch on applications of circle packings that make them a useful tool

A Truly Special Education: an analysis of developments in social skills education, and synthesis of best practices in supporting students with diverse needs
Get PDFEducation has changed greatly over the last hundred years, as shown in an extensive literature review showing attitudes towards social skills education and the hidden curriculum. Doing so provides a clear picture of what has worked in the past and what needs to be further improved upon. By analyzing what has been done, case studies that have been successful, and discussing current practices, it is recommended that the current education system be reformed. A shift towards person-centered thinking in education would prioritize meeting students’ needs as they arise instead of chasing diagnoses that may be vague anyway. This is specifically relevant for those with or pending autism spectrum disorder diagnoses, that look different for each person and therefore require individualized supports anyway. With that in mind, classroom culture should be addressed collaboratively by the teacher and all of the students, to better support all students, those with disabilities and those without
