From the Paper
"Findings of this research include the fact that 'collaboration' in the educational community serves as a tool that enables all members of the community to excel, participate and actively create a successful program, curricular content and activities in learning. Those who are members of the education community that is a collaborative community feel they are personally vested in the success of the community and hold high expectations for the success of the initiative or 'common vision' and goals of the community. Combined methods of research are optimal in assessing the success of such a collaborative effort and should result in clear and concise recommendations for reform or formative consideration."

Abstract
This paper discusses the attempt to provide a safe learning environment at Edward C. Reed High School, in Sparks, Nevada. The paper describes some of the training provided to staff, which focuses on gangs, supervision plans, progressive discipline plans, bullying prevention, drug and alcohol abuse among students and testing procedures for standardized tests. The paper discusses the success of this program.
From the Paper
"Many employers are requiring that their staff be trained and tested regarding their knowledge of harassment (of all kinds) focusing primarily on relationships between employees as well as relationships between employees and the employer. There could be more education at Reed High School regarding harassment issues and where the line gets drawn for faculty regarding interaction with students, as well as the students regarding interaction with students and faculty. This seems to be a very hot issue currently, especially with regard to employee rights. It would benefit the school to have boundaries set and a plan of action in place with an educated staff for harassment issues."

Abstract
This paper conducts a qualitative investigation on the effectiveness of e-learning tools. Because e-learning is becoming a fashion in many educational institutions nowadays, it is important to find if the use of custom-built and interactive courses have positive effects in the process of gaining knowledge in students. As part of the discussion, this paper also covers the effect of having custom-built learning environment to teachers and instructors. Some of the questions that may assist the readers to understand the effectiveness of e-learning to students are: What are the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning? Do custom-built learning environments provide better outcome grades to students as compared to the outcome grades of students when in a traditional process of learning and teaching? How do students view the use of custom-built learning environments?
Introduction
Adapting Virtual Learning Environment
Literature Review on the Effectiveness Custom-Built E-Learning
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The emergence of computers decades ago gave rise to a lot of improvements in man's daily work and activities. The different businesses and industries were brought with technologies that were born out of a computer's capabilities. This includes the diverse kind of software that automates the used-to-be manual and paper-based tasks in the office. Also, it includes the different hardware that are usually used as alternatives to the jobs humans can perform.
One area where computers perhaps have great impact in the manner and style of learning that the previous generations have is the area of education. Nowadays, almost all educational institutions utilize computers as part of their learning tools and sources. This is becoming a trend because of a computer's capability to rapidly provide information, as well as store them without the need to use traditional learning materials like pen, paper, chalk, and board. Moreover, computers provide a better way of presenting learning materials with the help of diverse software that are available in the market. Thus, increasing students' interest to learn and allowing them to easily absorb information and knowledge."

Abstract
Schools must increasingly serve as safe havens for students, many whom come from dysfunctional families and neighborhoods. Under these circumstances, school climate and culture must be restructured to address a wide range of student needs.
From the Paper
"School climate and culture are important in the student learning process. Schools that successfully engage students in this process share certain characteristics. Such schools value academic excellence and have high expectations of student achievement. A cooperative environment is fostered in which students feel empowered to excel, and safe from the influence of societal distractions, such as drugs and gangs. Educators must give as much attention to school climate and culture as is given to traditional concerns like curriculum development and teaching methods.

Abstract
Albert Einstein, a famously mediocre student, once commented that ?It is little short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not completely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.? Many educational theorists and gifted teachers have taken this to heart and endeavored to create learning environments that reflect innovations that are both intuitive and ingenious. This paper shows, that, unfortunately, we often see these same innovations stifled at the high school level. Whereas the elementary grades have always been seen as a test market for innovation and have led to such new methodologies as multimedia education, the use of role play, and a team approach to the comprehension of new subject matter, the high school environment is seen as a sacred cow where entrenched methodologies are not to be tampered with. The paper argues that, from a sociological perspective, high schools serve to propel a community?s best students to the university level where they will ultimately develop professional characteristics that will allow them to return value to their home town or city. Yet, the paper shows, that from a pragmatic perspective, administrators are quick to replicate methodologies that are proven to effect a positive result in measurable terms. In a good school, these measures could consist of SAT scores and the caliber of university placement; in a struggling school, administrators must insure that students are able to pass basic state tests and that drop-out rates remain low. The paper argues that, while these goals are admirable and in some respects immutable, they only serve to underscore the need for innovations designed to enhance the learning environment.

The High School Environment: Putting it all Together
Conclusion
From the Paper
"DeCorte and others speak of a system that would allow students to explore the way in which they think in order to become more effective problem solvers. Often this is tackled at the college level in logic or general reasoning courses. Curiously, training in symbolic logic, considered essential as a critical thinking skill, is absent from most high schools. If we accept DeCorte?s premise that an early understanding of mathematical concepts (one can argue that symbolic logic is a mathematical representation of problems and situations where one can employ reason to determine a solution) is essential: in many respects the high school environment is an ideal environment for teachers to convey such reasoning methodologies to young students."

Cooperative Learning, 2004.
A look at the benefits of cooperative learning environments.
998 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper outlines the ideal cooperative learning environment and argues that it is emotionally and educationally beneficial to the gifted, the supposedly average, and those who are academically deficient. The paper also highlights the benefits of this type of learning environment and addresses the concerns of parents who may feel that a cooperative learning environment does not meet the educational needs of their child.
From the Paper
"Every student in today?s day and age, barring those from extremely conservative school systems, or perhaps those who have been home schooled, have probably engaged in some form of cooperative learning. Cooperative learning assignments, as discussed in the essay ?Making cooperative learning work,? from Kaleidoscope: Readings in Education, have many benefits to them that may seem to outweigh the potential pitfalls of the constructions of such learning environments. (Johnson & Johnson, 1999) Ultimately, these assignments are thought to better prepare students to live and work in a real world and work environment where teamwork is valued, rather than pure individual achievement. But perhaps the best argument for cooperative learning in the classroom is not only that it is commensurate with today?s workforce, but that it is an emotional and intellectual benefit to all students, including the gifted, the supposedly average, and those who are academically deficient."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of a safe learning environment for students within the educational system. The paper analyzes the factors that are necessary in order to provide a safe environment and focuses on factors such as violence, crime, teaching and reinforcing survival skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, adaptation, discipline, self-control, self- respect and communication. The paper also discusses the use of technology in the curriculum.
From the Paper
"Many strategies for ensuring student safety have been proposed, from simple to extreme and costly measures. One of the most common used strategies is to allow the students to move from place to place on campus in groups. When a student is sent to the office or on an errand two students go. The belief behind the concept is that the students are less likely be involved in any mishaps if they are in groups of two or more. Students stayed home from school or drop out because of fear of being physically harmed. Schools must have a "No Bullying" program in place that allows a student to anonymously identify any student trying to bully another student. Anonymity removes fear of retaliation and can provide the administrator, staff, students, and parents valuable information which can assist in confronting, and defusing difficult situations. "No Tolerance" policies and consistent, enforced discipline programs must be part of the school environment."

Abstract
This paper explains that the best practices within the realm of computer-aided learning, web-based and online knowledge acquisition are generally based on the type of setting, the objectives of the course, the knowledge and skill level of the instructor, and the level of availability or access to technology. The author stresses that instruction may be based on the principles of self-directed study or on the premise of collaborative learning. The paper relates that the degree in which the Internet is utilized is a matter of teacher preference, the desires of the institution, and the goal of incorporating technology.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The problem with best practices is that they focus on current strategies and fail to consider future growth and, or, ignore a wide range of possibilities. There is no ?one way? to address best practices as they apply to online education (Jenson et al, 2002). The competencies needed for teaching online rather than in the traditional manner are, generally, the same; however, the skills that are employed are heightened. The first and most important of the competencies is that of communication. This includes the ability to use the current technology as well as being adept at teaching the use of technology."

The Environment: Nature and Society, 2007.
An examination of man's relationship with nature, and the ways in which modern man has learned to coexist with his environment.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer proposes that nature and society have not always peacefully coexisted; while one cannot argue that nature does not support mankind's existence, throughout much of early history mankind dominated over nature rather than lived synergistically within the context of natural society. The paper explores how ideas about nature, society and their interconnection have transformed significantly from the early 19th century to the present. While early history in America is marked by a period of ecological imperialism, modern environmental trends are shifting more toward an Arcadian outlook. The paper concludes that mankind has developed a greater appreciation for the interrelationship between nature and society and focuses less on exploiting or conquering the environment and nature, and more on supporting the environment and discovering new ways of coexisting with nature.
Outline:
Introduction
Ideas About Nature and Society Early 19th Century
Contemporary Ideas of Nature and Society
Conclusions
From the Paper
"As time progressed however, society began slowly but surely realizing the devastating effects industrialization had on nature. Slowly people began realizing that industrialization could not exist apart from nature, but rather everything man did to support industrialized processes influenced nature. Nature was not simply a source of natural resources for man to exploit, rather nature provided mankind the very sustenance he needs to survive. Slowly society began adopting a more conservationist rather than exploitative approach to nature. Prominent government agencies and members of ecological groups began realizing that nature and society must coexist in a more Arcadian manner."
