Learned a lot on the subject.

I believe these information are usesul for all faculty and instructors. Many times new students have questions about school practices and guidelines regarding state and federal laws.

I just completed the CM-141-FERPA and Privacy: A Practical Approach course.  It was an informative course containing the information needed to understand FERPA.

The most valuable component for me were the application questions which require the student to apply the information in a real world situation. In other words, the course requires one to fully comprehend the information in order to apply it, rather than just rote memorization.

I encourage paying close attention to these application questions, in addition to stopping throughout the course to ask oneself how would this information apply to our organization.

The other valuable component are… >>>

Today I had learned more about the dyslexia and how to work depending the situation. 

This is a very interesting topic.  I had learning a lot, specially about how to work with students with behavioral imparement.

Treat each day as an onsite visit day

The extent the university is required to maintain safety and availabiity of procedure regarding Title IX, VAWA, and Cleary Act violations is encouraging and calming for parents sending their children to college.

Compliance ensures the quality and integrity of the institution enabling students to receive the eduation they deserve.

I just participated in CM150 - Understanding the Language and Intention of Accreditation Standards. It was a lot to take in and process. We are initiating the process and are organizing ourselves order to facilitate the process in order to succinctly describe all of our policies and procedures. Although, we make a real concerted effort to be very thorough throughout all aspects of our documentation and policies, this course revealed the need to take it one step further. I believe the self-study although daunting will definitely be a positive for our school, our staff, and our student body.

There was much I did not know about federal Title IV compliance.  This course was well constructed and I enjoyed the interactive scenarios.  

After reading this section I will present the quartly Auditing of each department.  After the last Department of Education Audit I try to focus that more on making sure that we don't repeat the same mistakes as before.  Therefore I have created a new form to add with the refund of R2T4. I also have student complete entrance couseling on line and in person for all active students.  Pre Visit Preparation section when it states that the catalog provides some of the key elements requiring review during an audit.  I truely agree every audit that I have had the the… >>>

Recently I was told by a collegue from another school that tewo students had dropped a class because of the instructor's foreign creditials. The students felt that his educational background was not relevant or would be applicable in the US.

I myself have a degree from a foreigh institution.

I would like to know what is the perspective some of you may have on this and why you may or not agree with what the students did.

I really enjoy working with some of the schools in the area, specially when we get together and host educational events that benefit the community. Most of them are ethical and we all share best practices and support one another to find the best option or alternative for the students.

ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and into adulthood. The average age of onset is 7 years old.

ADHD affects about 4.1% American adults age 18 years and older in a given year. The disorder affects 9.0% of American children age 13 to 18 years. Boys are four times at risk than girls.

The specialist pays close attention to the child's behavior during different situations. Some situations are highly structured, some have less structure. Others would require the child to keep paying attention. Most children with ADHD are better able to control… >>>

Getting student to produce documents.

Even though i have a small institution only offering one program which is Cosmetology, i still benefited from this course by realizing each regulatory body will be more effecient with an audit plan in place. Once developed, the audit system will basically over see all regulatory bodies and ensure each department is operating according to all rules and laws. Also helping to maintain better retention, placement and  effecient enrollments.

My biggest challenge is with students who are LD with ADHD. Keeping these students focused on the material and not disruptive in the classroom has been difficult. I am in a vocation school with professionals training professionals. We have not had formal training as teachers. We are getting creative to keep these students on task. One of the biggest things we found out that works for us is to put the students in smaller hands on classroom classes. If the student can be kept engaged with the task on hand the outcome is better.

 As a former student I totally agrre with full disclosure. Having all the information in making a life decision is a must. As a institution,  It can't be about the school, it must be about the student with out exception.

This module opened my eyes to the concept of misrepresentation. When promoting a program or institution, it is very easy to use superlatives and provide a prospective student with your own subjective opinion and leave them with exaggerated expectations.
