Work for Educational Equality: Teach Community College

March 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

If you have a graduate degree and a devotion to educational equity, then teaching in a community college in the United States could prove to be very rewarding for you. Government budget cuts and economic strain are causing four-year university tuition to go up more every year, and more people than ever are seeking instruction at two-year institutions, which, while more expensive than in prior years, are still providing the most affordable higher education in the U.S.

The educational requirements for teaching at community college vary by state, but most require at least a Master’s degree and many instructors hold Ph.Ds. Some states will provide community college teaching accreditation programs for Bachelor’s degree holders. You do not need to have the teaching credentials required for K-12 instruction, but some experience and interest in pedagogy are definitely necessary since you will be judged for your teaching, with less or no emphasis on your research than would be expected at a four-year university.

Many community college instructors are adjuncts, meaning that they teach part-time. Some people start out in adjunct positions, sometimes at more than one community college, and work their way into a full-time tenure-track position. Adjunct instructors are usually paid on an hourly basis that does not ordinarily include class preparation time. It is important to bear in mind that you will be expected to do all of your own grading and teaching sections as you will not have teaching assistants available in this environment. You will, however, teach a very broad range of people with skill sets that run the gamut from none to very educated. It is a pleasurable challenge to teach community college, and worth further exploration.

Eating Brain-Boosting Foods Before Tests and Exams

January 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
When taking a very important test or exam, it is best to fill your belly with healthy food that promotes good brain function. With this statement, many may be surprised to find out that a high-fat diet, consumed four to seven days prior to a big exam, can enhance brain performance and cognitive functions. The key is not to over eat and become sluggish, but to get just the right brain-boost to study well and pass the test.
A study was done in September 2009 that showed people on both high-carbohydrate and high-fat diets performed significantly better than people on a high-protein diet. These results surprised even the researchers, with some even indicating they are troubled by the findings. After rerunning the results and statistics, the facts can no be denied.
Those on the high-fat diet ate a balanced diet with at least the minimum daily requirement of nutrients and the calories, but about 57 percent of the foods eaten were fatty, like whole milk, extra sausage patties, gravy on top of mashed potatoes, and roast beef. The high-protein diet was very similar to the Atkin’s diet, with more than 50 percent of the consumed food being protein, like a chicken and spinach salad instead of roast beef and gravy. The high-carbohydrate diet also met daily nutritional values, but placed an emphasis on eating a significant amount of carbohydrates.
Another surprise was that those on the high-protein diet complained a great deal about feeling anxious, having significant difficulties sleeping, and were irritable. This is a sure sign of how not to eat prior to taking a class or exam.
Before taking a class like the GMAT prep course, or a big exam like the SATs, pay attention to what you eat. Go for either a high-fat or high-carbohydrate diet, for four to seven days prior to the exam, to achieve optimum brain function.
