what are there and how to choose your own

Profile classes have long been entrenched in the school education system. This gives students the opportunity to study their favorite subject in more depth or prepare hard for entering a university. What profile classes are in schools and how to choose your own, we understand the article.

What are the profiles

By “profile” we mean a deeper study of certain subjects. That is, they allocate more hours. While the number of lessons in “non-core” subjects is reduced to a minimum. Only in order to master the necessary program.

The 2020 federal state educational standard specifies 4 main profiles, namely:

  1. natural and mathematical sciences;
  2. humanities;
  3. technology;
  4. socio-economic sciences.

In addition, there is also a fifth profile – general education. It is intended for those children who have not chosen any of the narrow directions.

The Federal State Educational Standard provides that the program of each profile should include not only Russian and foreign languages, literature, mathematics, social and natural sciences. But also physical education and life safety. But to what extent and which subjects to include in the curriculum is up to the school to decide. So, on the basis of the list of the Federal State Educational Standards, the school forms narrower specialized classes, namely:

Profile Items
Physics and Mathematics Physics, mathematics
Information Technology Computer science, mathematics, physics
Chemical-biological Biology, chemistry
Linguistic Russian language, literature, foreign language
Philological Russian language, literature
Humanitarian Russian language, literature, history, social studies
Socio-economic Social studies, geography

But there are other profiles. For example, engineering, culturological, pedagogical, legal, artistic and aesthetic, and even theatrical.

What to focus on when choosing a profile

OGE 9 results0006

The profile classes, of course, recruit students who have already shown good results in the subject. If in the certificate for the 9th grade the child has a triple in mathematics, he will most likely not be taken to the physical and mathematical profile.

Abilities and inclinations

If a child has pronounced abilities or inclinations, they will be helped to develop them in a profile class. For example, he is poorly versed in programming, but is fond of biology. Or “floats” in literature, but is strong in mathematics. In the profile class, you don’t have to waste time on subjects that are not given very well.

USE subjects

Choose a profile class, firstly, focusing on the subjects that the child is going to take. As a rule, preparation for the exam and the analysis of complex tasks in such classes is given more time. This means that it will be much easier to get high scores in exams.

Make sure the profile fits the child

For example, a child loves biology but is not very good at chemistry. In this case, the biological and chemical direction may not suit him. There is a risk that a teenager will fall behind classmates, start getting bad grades, and only lose motivation. In this case, it is better to choose a general education profile, and additionally study biology on your own or with a tutor.

Explore all options

Suppose a child wants to go to a specialized class to study literature in depth. And in your school there is only a humanitarian profile, where a history with social studies is attached to it. In this case, you can, for example, try to look for schools with a narrow philological profile. And vice versa, if a teenager does not decide in any way whether to enter a philologist or historian, a profile with a wider range of humanitarian subjects will suit him. There are even rarer specialized classes in schools. For example, in journalism, law, art. Perhaps the child needs one of them.

Estimate the upcoming workload

In profile classes, of course, they assign more homework and make higher demands on students. Not every child can easily withstand such educational and psychological stress. And if a student needs all the strength to “correspond” to the level of the profile, he can come to the exam physically and mentally exhausted. In this case, a regular class and additional classes with a tutor in the right subjects are more suitable.

At what age should a child go to school? Advice on what documents are required

What age to send a child to school

Every mother asks herself sooner or later, at what age should a child be sent to school. Sometimes it is really very difficult for parents themselves to assess the readiness of the child for school, to understand what initial knowledge a future first grader should have. Let’s try to figure out when you can send your child to school, and when you should not rush.

What the law says

The Law of the Russian Federation “On Education in the Russian Federation” clearly explains that children from 6.5 to 8 years old are taken to grade 1 *. The school can accept into the ranks of first-graders those who go beyond these age limits, but only at the request of the parents, with the permission of the school administration and after the commission, which will determine the readiness of the child for learning. In a word, it is quite possible that a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old will be at the same desk in the first grade. For parents, these 1.5-2 years seem like a whole abyss, because the memories of how they went for a walk to the playground with their newborn are still alive, and his current desk neighbor was already running and riding with might and main.

The oldest, the youngest – is it scary?

“What if my child will be the oldest or the youngest in the class?” parents are worried. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the readiness of the child to study at school. And this indicator does not consist of age or, say, gender, but of completely different parameters: health status, adaptive abilities, the ability to find a common language with new friends, and many others. It is believed that it is children who have reached the age of 6.5 years who have a level of maturity sufficient for learning. They are physiologically and intellectually ready for a new life stage, they are psychologically ripe for learning, they have the necessary initial knowledge and skills. But each child is unique: for some, school maturity comes a little earlier than for peers, and for some, it is delayed at the start. And all this is a variant of the norm.

Only 10 percent of 6-year-old first graders are truly ready to learn.

With “spring” and “summer” children, everything is easier: by the time they enter school, they are over 7 years old, and it is this ideal age that parents are guided by. “Autumn” children by September 1 are also close to the age of a first grader. But moms and dads of “winter” children have a choice: take the baby to grade 1 at 6.5 years old or wait another year until 7.5. Both fit into the legal framework, and choosing the right option can be difficult. Early or later? You will have to look at the criteria for the readiness of the child himself for school.

Find out the level of preparation of the child for school

How do I know if my child is ready for school?

Intellectual development

Should a child have basic knowledge when entering first grade? No, the inability to read and write will not be grounds for refusing admission. No need to hire preschool tutors. He may know the alphabet, write in block letters, but this is not necessary. However, there are a number of skills that he must demonstrate. For example, that he knows how to memorize and analyze the material. Can read a poem by age, retell a short text. He knows in which country, in which city, at what address he lives, what are the names of his mother and father – his full name, not his home one. It is important that he answers the questions not in monosyllables, but in detail, in sentences of 3–5 words, and knows how to use generalizing concepts. Describe an object, talk about a pet, name the author of a favorite poem – all this indicates that the child has a good “baggage of knowledge”.

+ Better earlier: the child is developed beyond his years and easily quotes his favorite works – it’s time for the first grade, regardless of whether he is 7 or not.

– Better later: the baby has difficulties in communication, it is difficult to get even a few words out of him, is he “confused in the testimony”? Leave him at home or in a preschool team for another year, work with him extra. Otherwise, learning problems will accumulate like a snowball.

Speech development of a first grader

The development of speech is very closely related to intellectual readiness for school. Good speech in many ways shapes the school maturity of the child, his readiness or unreadiness for learning – and suggests that he will learn to read and write easily.

+ Better before: the child does not know who a “speech therapist” is, clearly and correctly pronounces sounds, knows how to distinguish them by ear, find them in words. He has a good vocabulary appropriate for his age, he knows the meanings of words. His speech is coherent and expressive.

– Better later: if sounds are not given to the child. Vocabulary is poor. He does not know how to choose synonyms and antonyms (brave – brave, good – bad), or he needs more time to answer than other children. Shy, shy children can also experience learning difficulties.

Psychological readiness for learning

The psychological maturity of a child is largely an individual factor: someone is psychologically ready for school at the age of 5. 5, and for someone it’s too early at 8. Of course, the chances that a child older than 7 years of age is psychologically prepared are much greater. School maturity is demonstrated by an understanding of how one should behave at school, the ability to work according to the model, follow the rules, etc. Such an understanding of the situation (the so-called arbitrariness of behavior) is formed in children just in time for 6.5-7 years, and even at 7 years old it is still imperfect, therefore, when choosing a school, it would be appropriate to pay attention to the possibility of soft adaptation (which modern textbook systems allow, for example, “Primary School of the 21st Century” is one of the main educational systems recommended for use). This will allow children with different levels of psychological readiness to feel comfortable in the first grade.

+ Better earlier: the child has learned social norms, understands instructions, knows how to follow the rules, understands cause and effect relationships. He has a good working capacity, he is diligent, has self-control skills. He is not registered with a neurologist and a psychiatrist. Calm, does not suffer from insomnia, dizziness, hyperexcitability, etc. He is active, sociable, knows how to easily meet and make friends.

– Better later: the baby has a “weak”, exhausted nervous system, there is a neurological disease. He suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Also, if he is anxious, withdrawn, everything falls out of his hands (which means that fine motor skills are also lagging behind), taciturn, conflict, restless and shows poor socialization skills.

The state of health of the future first-grader

All future first-graders must undergo a full medical examination and receive a doctor’s opinion on their readiness to study at a comprehensive school. Yes, compared to kindergarten, studying at school is a real job: instead of walking and daytime sleep, sitting at a desk, instead of playing, reading textbooks and the need to peer at the inscriptions on the blackboard. School meals are not for every child. An unusual environment, strict school rules make you nervous, and stress exacerbates chronic diseases.

+ Better earlier: if the child is completely healthy, does not suffer from chronic diseases, and has colds at most 4-5 times a year. His physical development corresponds to age norms or slightly ahead of them.

– Better later: the child has any chronic diseases (adenoids, diabetes, etc.), he gets sick 10-12 times a year, he is called “often sick”. It is better to devote an extra year to hardening, increasing immunity and general recovery.

Motivation to learn and willingness to learn

Trying to answer the question of when to take a child to first grade, mom and dad often forget to ask the child himself: does he want to study? Curiosity greatly affects at what age to send a child to school and whether it will be easy for him there. After all, if learning is interesting, you run to school, and if not, learning is equal to torment. If by the age of 6–7 the child does not show interest in learning, parents and educators should join their efforts in this direction: support the child in his desire to learn, talk with him about how interesting school life is, how many new friends he will have and It’s exciting to learn something new every day. You can play – “rehearse” lessons and changes, the answers are at the blackboard, you can go on an excursion to the school and look at the reaction of the child. And remember that the desire of the child, and not the ambitions of the parents, in this case is a priority.

What parents of future students should not be guided by:

  • the opinion of others – “And the grandmother thinks that it’s time”,

  • their parental ambitions – “Others went to school, but what’s worse for mine ?,

  • the fact that a class is recruited by a good teacher – if the student is not ready, even a good teacher will not meet parental expectations,

  • with their ideas about childhood friendship – “Oh, well, all his friends have gone to first grade, he will be bored!”,

  • unwillingness to take care of the child – “They will teach you everything at school, I would like to give it back as soon as possible. ”

Child psychologists, defectologists, speech therapists offer their assistance to parents in matters of the child’s readiness for school. Today, specialists in the field of child developmental psychology have developed many tests that can be used to assess the level of development of a preschool child in different age periods. Invite your child to take an online test on our website, and you will find out the level of readiness of your child for school, get recommendations from experts on preschool and primary general education.

Main terminal

You should not send your child to school, focusing solely on the opinions of friends, the rating of the school, and scattered recommendations on forums on the Internet. Remember that you are responsible to the child in your choice, trust him to the best, in your opinion, the first teacher, choose the “right” curriculum for which the first grader will study. The kid should be comfortable and interesting to learn.

Top 10 Preschools in Corpus Christi

Top 10 Preschools in Corpus Christi : The curriculum offered at top 10 preschools in Corpus Christi changes from one school to the next and depends on how the school wants to teach. But most preschools in the Corpus Christi area follow a curriculum that is meant to help kids grow and develop in social, emotional, cognitive, and physical ways.

There are a lot of preschools in Corpus Christi that use the Montessori method. The Montessori method is all about learning by doing and exploring. Children learn at their own pace, and they are told to follow their natural interests. This way of learning is meant to encourage freedom and a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

Other preschools in the area have more standard schedules, with things like circle time, story time, arts and crafts, and playing outside. Teachers often work on helping kids develop social and emotional skills, like sharing, taking turns, and fixing problems. They also work on building thinking skills like counting, recognizing letters, and learning the basics of reading and maths.

Faith-based preschools in Corpus Christi, like the First Baptist Academy of Corpus Christi, teach religious lessons and principles as part of their education. The goal of these Corpus Christi schools is to help children not only learn, but also grow in their spirituality and morality.

Before putting your child in a daycare, you should look into the school’s programme and guiding principles to make sure they match your values and goals for your child’s education.
You can also go to the school and watch how the teachers and students work to get a feel for the school’s atmosphere and way of teaching.

As a parent, finding the right preschool for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make.

Best Children’s Charities Australia | Childrens Hospital Fund

WE ARE A LOCAL CHILDRENS CHARITY SYDNEY

Our donations to date. Let’s keep it going!

The estimated reduction in the number of babies admitted to Western Sydney hospitals for shaken baby syndrome since our prevention project started.

Childrens Hospital Fund

The Kids West is only one of the many children’s charities in Australia. Its mission is to raise money for the childrens hospital fund, delivering much-needed equipment to the hospitals of western Sydney. Over the course of 30+ years, Kids West has raised in excess of $5.6m and is one of the best Australian charities to support dedicated countless hours to assisting a large number of organisations in improving the health and wellbeing of children throughout Western Sydney.

Below are some of the other fantastic childrens charities Australia has in place. As with any children’s charity, it’s best to do your research. Unfortunately, there are organisations out there that take advantage of well-meaning souls and misappropriate funds. Some organisations, as charitable as their intentions may be, cost a lot to run so your donations may not actually get to where you’re intending them to go.

What to Consider When Making a Childrens Hospital Donation 

Research the charity thoroughly BEFORE getting out your chequebook. The Australian Charities and Not For Profit Commission (ACNC) is the national regulator of charities. They oversee over 58,000 registered charities in Australia. We highly recommend checking out their charity register to see if the group you’re looking to support is approved to fundraise. Check to see what the goals of the charity are

Make sure they’re transparent – they should be able to show you where the money goes. Reviewing their annual report should help you. It should be on their website.

REAL STORIES

Maria, Joshua, Mia & Jacob

Kids West assisted a mother of 3 young children who’s husband left suddenly taking everything, by donating goods, helping with bills, food and Christmas presents. Later we received a letter: “Dear Kids West, We’re back on our feet and doing well, please find enclosed a cheque for $200 to help another family this Christmas”

Tom & Sarah

Our son may not be with us today if it wasn’t for Kids West. We know by the plaque on the Humidi Crib we saw every day for the 2 months our son was in intensive care; it was donated by Kids West. That equipment kept our son, born at 28 weeks suffering from lung failure amongst other things, alive.

Coolah

Kids West were approached about a small remote town called Coolah, trying to raise funds for a Defibrillator that could be used on young children. The Hospital had managed to raise $5,000 towards the $10,000 machine. Kids West donated the remaining $5,000. 3 years later the Defibrillator was used to save a 6 year olds life on a remote farm.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here we listed out a few ways in which others have been donating and supporting us & our Penirth charity shop.

Are Donations Tax Deductible?

Donations of $2 or more to the Kids West, Western Sydney Paediatric Fund Raising Inc. (Kids West) are tax-deductible. The Australian Tax Office recognises these donations as having Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. The amount you can claim as a deduction on your tax return depends on your circumstances. Kids West cannot calculate the tax deduction you may be entitled to for your donation.
Endorsed DGR: ABN – 25245034236 KIDSWEST WESTERN SYDNEY PAEDIATRIC FUNDRAISING INC

Similar to when an individual donates, the contribution must be $2 or more in value for a corporate donation to be eligible. The charity must also be registered as a “Deductible Gift Recipient organisation” with the ATO.

Tax time is an excellent opportunity for your company to practice corporate social responsibility while increasing the business’ tax return.

Every donation you make to charity is only tax deductible if the organisation is an ATO-endorsed deductible gift recipient (DGR). Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) is a DGR organisation with a registered charity tick from the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). This means that ACRF complies with the transparency and accountability standards of the ACNC Charity Register.

To claim a tax deduction for a gift or donation, it must also meet the following conditions:

– It must be made to a DGR organisation.
– It must indeed be a gift or donation – that is, you voluntarily transfer money or property without receiving or expecting to receive any material benefit or advantage in return. A material benefit is an item with a monetary value, such as a raffle ticket, fundraising chocolate or fundraising dinner ticket.
– The gift or donation must be of money or property. This can include financial assets such as shares.
– The gift or donation must comply with any relevant gift conditions. For some DGRs, the income tax law adds different conditions affecting the types of deductible contributions they can receive.

You must have a donation record, such as a receipt, to claim a tax deduction. ACRF provides prompt receipting for all donations. For complete information on charity donation tax deductions, please visit the ATO website – Gifts and Donations or speak with your financial adviser or accountant.

Are overseas charity donations Tax Deductible?

All Australian charities that operate overseas must be registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission (ACNC) which have set standards that govern how a registered charity must manage its activities and resources outside Australia. In addition to the ATOs, Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme (OAGDS) enables Australian organisations to issue tax-deductible receipts for donations to their overseas aid activities. These activities must be to support aid activities in countries that are declared as ‘developing’ by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Donations to overseas charities not registered in Australia are not tax-deductible.

Are donations to charity auctions Tax Deductible?

Donations to charity auctions are tax-deductible if:

  • There is a transfer of money or property and the organisation is a DGR.
  • The transfer is made voluntarily.
  • The donor does not expect anything in return for the gift.
  • The donor does not materially benefit from the gift.

Marshmallow experiment | Blog 4brain

In the late 60s and early 70s of the last century, Stanford University professor Walter Mischel conducted a series of experiments in which he proved that children with this character trait are more likely to achieve success in life. What is this feature and why the experience was called “marshmallow”, we will describe below.

To learn how to achieve success in your life personally, to know your individual characteristics and to assess your potential, come to the online program “Self-Knowledge”.

Background

During an experiment on the island of Trinidad, Michel noticed that the children of West Indian blacks and locals react differently to an offer to get a candy for 1¢ now and a candy for 10¢ a week later. Aboriginal children more often chose the second option.

How the “marshmallow experiment” was carried out

To further investigate this fact, Walter Mischel conducted an experiment that was later called the “marshmallow experiment”. As subjects, he took 16 boys and 16 girls aged 3.5 to 5.5 years. Each of the eight researchers had 4 children – 2 boys and 2 girls.

The experimenter brought the child into the room, seated him in a chair, and placed one marshmallow on the table in front of him. After that, he offered a deal: “Listen, I’m going out for 15 minutes now. While I’m gone, you can eat this marshmallow, or you can not eat it and get a second one as a reward. You decide.”

Results of the “marshmallow experiment”

As the researchers expected, most of the children did not wait and ate the marshmallow immediately. Only 1/3 of the subjects received a reward in the form of a double portion.

Walter Mischel published a study in 1972. However, the most interesting began after that. He followed the lives of the subjects until 2011. It turned out that children who postponed pleasure received higher scores on the SAT exam (analogous to the Russian Unified State Examination), had less bad habits and depression, and also received a higher salary.

Refutation of the “marshmallow experiment”

Do not be upset if in childhood you did not know how to restrain yourself and “ate marshmallows” right away. Scientists from the University of the City of New York doubted the results of Michel’s experiment, since he had a very small sample – only 32 people.

To refute the marshmallow experiment, they took 900 children from different walks of life and performed the same manipulations. It has been proven that the ability to postpone pleasure until later has little to no effect on success in life. Children from rich families who waited for the arrival of the experimenter and children from poor families who did not wait for the reward had the same chance of becoming successful.

The difference in results is due to the life situation. For children from low-income families, parents often promise to buy toys or sweets, but do not keep their promises due to lack of money. Therefore, such children are not inclined to trust other people and tend to enjoy immediately, because then it may not be.

It is easier for children from families with a high level of income to restrain themselves and wait for the arrival of the experimenter, because they know that they will always have something tasty at home. For example, ice cream or the same marshmallow.

Despite the study of New York scientists, it is difficult to disagree with the fact that the ability to endure helps in life. If you cannot endure difficulties, then quickly give up and achieve nothing.

We wish you to cultivate patience and become successful!
