Introduction Over the past several months, members of Phillips & Associates have remarked on a growing trend: mid- to senior-level managers and administrators are successfully making the transition between the health care and higher education industries when seeking new career opportunities. We were curious about this phenomenon and decided to investigate further. We spoke with leaders who had moved between the two industries about their reasons for making the switch. We also talked with folks about the similarities and differences between the two industries. We want to share with our clients the insights we are witnessing in the marketplace. We believe that this information will change some of the...

According to demographic data and the U.S. Department of Labor, there will be a grave shortage of qualified people to fill jobs in healthcare in the coming years; unless more workers receive quality health care training and education, there is a real possibility that thousands of healthcare jobs (including healthcare management jobs) will go unfilled. There are two primary reasons for the exponential growth in healthcare careers. One is the "graying" of America. The "baby boomers" born between 1946 and 1960 are now starting to enter their "golden years." As this population ages, there will be many more opportunities and a greater need for people to enter careers in healthcare. The other reason...

We may define good teaching as instruction that leads to effective learning, which in turn means thorough and lasting acquisition of the knowledge, skills, and values the instructor or the institution has set out to impart. The education literature presents a variety of good teaching strategies and research studies that validate them (Campbell and Smith 1997; Johnson et al. 1998; McKeachie 1999). In the sections that follow, we describe several strategies known to be particularly effective. Write instructional objectives. Instructional objectives are statements of specific observable actions that students should be able to perform if they have mastered the content and skills the instructor has...

Hand Fans Are Your Answers Hand fans were popular during the good old days. There was a real need for air movement in those big chautauqua tents. The flutter of fans helped with that problem. The entertainment was the best in town even though some of the fun was not on the stage. Girls holding hand fans in a certain way could relay a message to boys clear across the tent. Touching the fan to her cheek sent one message and touching her chin meant another. The hand fan was the original touch messaging method of communication. Could we prove to our young, technology savvy kids that our elders were way ahead of us? Hand fans are also the answer for the mothers of those younger girls and boys. When...

I always try to make it a point to see both sides of an education issue, and as Project Runway host Tim Gunn always tells his fashion designer cast, try to make it work. The concept of true school choice fits that challenge. The thought behind true school choice is that "dollars follow the child." Parents receive a government-estimated amount of money which represents the cost of educating each of their children, with adjustments for special needs such as special education, English language skills and physical disabilities. Parents may apply those monies it towards any school they choose: public, private, parochial or even home schooling. The state takes charge of informing parents of their options...

Acquiring a GED (General Education Development) is no small achievement. Stringent requirements can often make obtaining a GED very difficult. And yet some employers look upon a GED as inferior and will not hire based on this "high school equivalency". As well, some branches of the U.S. Military will not always automatically accept it. Virtually for every good paying job at least a high school diploma is needed. Now is the opportunity for anyone without a high school diploma to enter into a self-paced study program through Citizens' High School - and do so on-line in the convenience of one's home, while on vacation or anywhere a Net-connected computer is available. Through Citizens' High School...

The United States Department of Labor has found that people who hold a master's degree actually earn eighteen percent more per week than people who do not have one.

Making enough money to go to college can be hard, even obtaining an online degree can be difficult to swing financially. While there are many ways that people can pay for an online degree, it is often a hard task to do since college requires study time, and work is something that will certainly eat up hours in your day.

The goal of any institution is to get their students through the program without the...

Teamwork is one of the most important skills that high school students can learn, and nowhere is this easier to teach than on the sports field. Here students can learn how each individual's effort combined with that of their team-mates creates the success level of the team. If all the members of a team give it their best and pull together as a team, then the team has a greater probability of winning. Although winning everything isn't always the best lesson to learn, the fact that if everyone does their best the team does better is the more important lesson to learn. Once the students leave school/college and start in a working environment, they are going to find themselves on a job-related team...

With the coming of the GSM in Nigeria in 2001 first with the then ECONET, MTN, MTEL and GLOBACOM every single Nigerian has quite an interesting story to tell. These mobile phones in the past were considered status symbols in the Nigerian society but this consideration has now been consigned to oblivion as everyone in the Nigerian society can now be held in high esteem. "All Animals are now equal" Children now carry mobile phones to school. Sadly, we Nigerians forget too soon therefore only a few people can remember that only an opulent man in the Nigerian society once carried this mobile phone. We are now well tutored in phone terminologies such as no network, network failure, no network coverage...

One of the most critical learning skills that children will learn in their early education is learning how to read. An expert once noted that in the early education years, children are taught to learn to read, but in later years children will read to learn. Consider how much time was spent during school and through homework time reading workbooks, textbooks and various types of information that the teacher provided or wrote on the chalkboard for the class. Kids who do not develop their reading skills with adequate reading fluency activities, will most likely find themselves at a significant disadvantage in other subjects such as social studies, math and science. Because reading is a core academic...

At one time a university degree offered a competitive advantage. Today it has almost become a necessity. We need specialised knowledge and skills in order to survive and a university education provides the basis. A university degree is not a single product. There are numerous ways of classifying the degrees on offer. The most common classification is based on the extent of study required to obtain the degree. The simplest degree is the Associate Degree. Unfortunately it does not have much worth. All it says that you did come here but did not get to first base. For all practical purposes the first base is the Bachelor's Degree, which signifies the completion of undergraduate studies. On completion of...

Online learning varies from traditional education in that it does not limit learning within the physical boundaries of classrooms face-to-face with the teacher. Online learning really means "a classroom without walls." Unlike traditional education where students learn under the supervision and guidance of teachers, students engage in assisted, self-directed learning. In the past, it was difficult for working adults to continue their studies because of time constraints. But distance learning programs have now made it possible for them to continue with their studies, to earn higher degrees and to aim for brighter career opportunities. Thanks to education learning online, they no longer have to quit...

Home schooling vs. public schooling, this is what the parents must decide. When we consign our children to public schools, we feel satisfied that they are receiving 'quality education'. But, are we really getting our money's worth? More importantly, are the children gaining anything from this kind of a learning procedure? As the failure of public education becomes more obvious, more parents are chaffing at the restriction of freethinking afforded our children in public schools. I refer to free thinkers as those who embrace individual responsibilities and ideas; those who practice time-tested rules and morals without restrictions imposed by the public school system. Hence, there is a movement afoot...

A century ago, the term 'games' would have referred to either field sports or games like Chess. With the advent of technology and more recently, the Internet, the term has taken a new meaning. Online gaming has gained massive popularity over the last few years. People no longer play games in the comfort of their homes but also in cyber cafes and, as techies will vouch for it, in offices! Online gaming offers a lot of flexibility to gamers - flexibility to decide where to play, when to play, what to play, with whom to play. With this kind of gaming, gamers do not need to install games on their computers or game consoles anymore. Furthermore, most of the online games are available for free. Online...

Safety is a concern to education administrators in today's lawsuit-happy society. It should be of particular concern around a school gymnasium because the gym is an area that generates a large number of student injuries. Unfortunately, injuries are often the result of common but inconspicuous equipment and facility hazards. To identify some typical injury risks, I contacted Cliff Knuff, a consultant who performs school safety checks as part of his duties with The Vinyl Doctor out of Val Caron, Ontario. Described below are some of the safety hazards Cliff often sees in the course of his safety inspections. 1. VOLLEYBALL NETS & FIXTURESa. The welds that connect the angled supports to the bottom of...

Emergence of the new technological solutions such as software, microchips, bioengineering, nanotechnology resulted in higher emphasis being placed on pharmaceuticals, ICTs, and other high tech industries.

Bioengineering is being widely used in the wine industry through fermentation techniques that enhance quality of wine. Bacteria biotechnology renewed the classic cork technology used...

You've probably heard the statement, "College isn't for everyone." I totally agree with this. Not every single human being walking this massive planet needs to attend a four-year college and acquire a BA or BS in some particular major. Some of us prefer a military route after high school. Higher education can also be achieved there. Others head for Hollywood with a dream of making it big in Tinsel Town. Plenty have made an utter fortune this way. There's no reason why you can't be the next big success story. However, that's not to say that a University isn't a prudent path. Studies have shown that college graduates are much more successful in general than mere high school graduates. Therefore a...

More students around the world are taking advantage of distance learning degrees and degree programs, thanks to the Internet and the willingness of educators to recognize the fact that many people can't attend traditional school campuses due to work or family obligations. While such issues used to keep hundreds, if not thousands, out of college, such restrictions of time and location no longer remain the key issue when it comes to higher education. The transition to such opportunities has been a long time in coming, and is long overdue. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost earning wages due to lack of college degrees will no longer hold employees back from obtaining the jobs of their dreams, or...

These days parents seem to argue back and forth over the right type of education for their kids. Should they go to public school, private school, Montessori, or should they homeschool?

In this article I discuss about the word 'to Believe'. The basic meaning of this word is 'to accept something as true' and it is categorized as a transitive verb. A verb is a grammatical category that denotes an action. Thus, the verb 'to believe' denotes an action. But, a kind of action that is denoted by this verb is different from other verbs such as 'to kill', 'to cut', 'to hit', etc., mainly because the verb 'to believe' does not denote a concrete action. It denotes an action that takes place in the mind of the believer. The vibration of the verb 'to believe' attracts at least two participants by its very nature: the conscious mind who is supposed to instigate the action of believing and the...
