Abstract
This paper explains that the integrative model of instruction is an alternative to the teaching approach, which involves lectures and tests with the teacher the source of knowledge and the students as relatively passive recipients of that knowledge. The author points out that the two inter-related goals of the integrative model of instruction are to present organized bodies of knowledge in an in-depth way and to develop critical thinking skills regarding this material so that an environment is set up where the students will think about the subject matter in a natural way, both with the teacher and with other students. The paper stresses that integrated instruction can be used only with material, which can be organized and which thoughtful people can detect relationships between the facts within the material.

Introduction
The Phases of Integrated Learning
Covering the Content
From the Paper
"In Phase I, learners gather data and place it within the matrice, which is nothing more than a simple data base. They describe their observations and begin to look for patterns. While the work is guided by the teacher, the students do the thinking, which is honored by being noted in a written record, for instance on the board or an overhead. Students may be lead to note similarities and differences or to begin to consider why certain patterns are emerging. As the teacher draws generalizations out from the learners, the learners have opportunities to apply critical thinking to the facts presented rather than just learning the facts themselves."

Abstract
The paper discusses how integrating different language teaching methods will have the benefit of catering to a wide variety of student needs; something that a single approach will probably not accomplish. The paper explores the methods of teaching the Slavic language to students where the proficiency level is basically non-existent. The paper selects nine different language teaching methods and determines which are most appropriate for such a language teaching course and also how they can be integrated to achieve optimal results. The paper's information for all the teaching approaches is derived from Dr. Jill Kerper Mora.
Outline:
Total Physical Response
The Grammar Translation Method
The Audio Lingual Method
The Communicative Approach
The Functional Notional Method
The Direct Approach
The Reading Approach
The Silent Way
The Community Language Learning Method
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Globalization and the concept of the "global village", has brought about interesting developments in language teaching. It is currently recognized, for example, that contact with one or more natives from foreign countries during an average lifetime is more likely than not. Furthermore, the information age entails that knowledge from across the globe is integrated in the academic world. This implies that not all academic texts will be in English, and that some foreign language skills are necessary to access texts in certain fields. Finally, businesses generally offer expanded opportunities to those who are willing to relocate to foreign countries. The success of such ventures often depends upon an ability to communicate with the target country's native population. The question is therefore not so much whether foreign languages in a curriculum are important, but rather how they should be taught."

Objective
Review of the Literature
Use of the Strategies for Fluency in the Lesson Plans
From the Paper
"Each day of the lesson plans will focus on one of the five identified strategies for fluency building in readers. Day one will make use of the strategies noted for phonemic awareness. This will be accomplished through Dr. Seuss's books such as 'C'at in the 'H'at. Day two will focus on the strategies reviewed for phonics instruction. Day three will be geared toward fluency in reading by reading aloud to students, having the students read aloud and then having students read independently. Day four will focus on vocabulary instruction with the teacher using the strategies noted in the research for vocabulary instruction. Day five will test the students on their comprehension of the instruction provided for phonemic awareness, phonics, and vocabulary as well as testing their fluency through having the students read aloud from the Dr. Seuss books that are used in the first four days of the instruction in this unit."

Multicultural Teaching, 2008.
This paper discusses the debate about the precise role of multicultural educational programs for teachers.
815 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at an argument that urban schools, which tend to be the most culturally diverse, tend to be more economically disadvantaged than suburban schools. The paper also discusses the assertions that teachers can find themselves with a hierarchically-imposed curriculum and student testing standards that conflicts with a training where innovation, active participation and broader social contexts are taken into consideration. The paper concludes that teachers should see the concept of multicultural education as an integral foundation for their teaching.
From the Paper
"The role of multicultural education in terms of teacher training is one that has certainly evolved over the years. From starting out as a simple acknowledgement that teachers throughout the school system should have some basic familiarity with the diverse backgrounds of their students, it has grown into a more complex and more comprehensive series of philosophies, concepts and pedagogical methodologies to enable teachers to much more effectively reach students from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. This growth is welcome as the numbers and proportion of children from minority and/or multicultural backgrounds has continued to increase in school districts across the country, instilling more urgency and immediacy into the task of multicultural teacher training, especially given the downward trending of student achievement scores in some areas (Duarte.) As might be expected, this phenomenon has also created some points of disagreement about the precise role of multicultural educational programs for teachers."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper is three fold in its mission. Firstly it examines the writings of Ben Wightman's "Integrated Communications: Organization and Education" and his views of the state of the art of integrated communications (IC). Secondly, three other works are examined, by other distinguished authors in the field, to determine the amount of overlap, agreement, or disagreement they have with Wightman. Finally the paper examines, in short, the United States Department of State's latest "Domestic Intelligence Estimate, Indonesia." This determines whether or not the principles of integrated communications organizations can or should be integrated into their emerging, vast and varied economy.
Thesis Statement
"Integrated communications (IC): Organization and education" By, MR. Ben Wightman
The Public Relations Based Approach
Thomas Hunter's Five Step Model
Additional IMC Article Comparisons
Integrated Marketing Communications and Indonesia
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Furthermore, Wightman makes the strong point that not many scholars have offered suggestions despite the conviction that organizational structure is one of the strongest hindrances to the successful implementation of IC within a corporation. He also states, admonishes is actually a better word, that students coming out of our colleges and universities are ill equipped to deal with these problems. These despite many having degrees, higher degrees, but have had little exposure to the situation in their respective schools."

No Teaching without Learning, 2002.
This paper examines the question whether teaching is possible without learning.

Abstract
This paper examines public education systems and the need for effective teaching. It states that education and the process of acquiring it is not a simple teach-learn process. The author uses the ideals of Paulo Freire, who declares that it is more important to know that education is not merely teaching others but it is also a process through which one learns. The paper describes that the dilemma is not the willingness to learn but it is the national education systems that have modernized and have integrated too much internationalized educational modules to the culture?s identity.
From the Paper
"Education reforms in the modern age has become a means to struggle against time. For the Latin American especially, the struggle was between conservatism and progressivism. A nation torn by its ancient roots and the desire to join in with modern day progressivism, the people are still in turmoil whether acceptance of modernism is the only way to achieve their goal. The root cause is inherent in the approach the people takes. Despite gaining independence in several areas, public education and its creation is still debatable among the gentry as well as the government. Proponents for education like Paulo Freire, declare that it is more important to know that education is not merely teaching others but it is also a process through which one learns as well."

Abstract
This paper develops a perspective on the structural and reader response approaches to literature appreciation that is based upon empirical findings observed in research into the influence of storytelling on child development. To this end, this report first reviews the literature on how storytelling can influence the social, cognitive, and psycho-emotional development of children as well as its basic influence on learning. This examination of the effects of storytelling on child development is followed by an explication of both the structural and the reader response approaches to teaching literature appreciation. Based on the review of all of this material, the report discusses each theory in terms of the support or lack of support offered for it by the storytelling-child development literature. Where relevant, this discussion is used to modify, hone and refine theory into a new model of instruction (The Integrated Model) in literature appreciation, a model that focuses on storytelling as a mode of instruction and that incorporates elements and postulates of both the reader response model and the structural model.
From the Paper
"Effects of Storytelling on Social Development. There is a good bit of literature that supports the notion that storytelling can strongly contribute to both very young and older children's social and psychosocial development. For example, Pellowski (1990) reports that research has shown that stories inform children about the lives, the dreams, the hopes, the problems, the tensions and the conflicts of diverse social and ethnic groups. In this way, storytelling helps familiarize children with how groups of people, some of them which may be very different than the group children were raised in, perceive life and its events.
Simultaneously, while informing of group differences, storytelling serves the function of maintaining a sense of the human community by telling the story using universal themes common to all. In other words, storytelling operates to broaden children's view of the world and the diverse societies it while also emphasizing the social ties that bind communities and groups of people together."

Child Focused Teaching, 2002.
This paper reviews two books about child focused teaching methods: William Ayers? "To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher" and "The Hundred Languages of Children: The Reggio Emilia Approach-Advanced Reflections", edited by Edwards, Gandini and Forman.
1,395 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that these two books describe an educational experience, which, instead of relying upon rigid curricula and rules, can inject new meaning and life into the interaction with children through projects and documentation. The paper explains that by being open to the differences in children, teachers can be more effective in assisting them in their journey of learning. The author believes these books show that learning should not take place in an ivory tower; but rather the community and its members should also play an integral part in the education of the future generations.
From the Paper
"Throughout this book, Ayers presents novel perspectives of working with children. For example, he criticizes the conventional practice of evaluating the children based on their deficits because this strategy fails to acknowledge the children?s entire being. Without a complete understanding of how each child functions, it is impossible for the teachers to be able to help the child learn effectively. Instead, he prefers to observe the child objectively and take down notes. By including these classroom notes in the book, Ayers conveys the importance of acknowledging the complete being of the child vividly. Instead of viewing the child through his defects, Ayers offers a complete portrait of him. In this portrait, the unique personality, including the strengths and the deficits, is unveiled. To the reader, the traditional way of solely studying the deficits of the child is a sterile method compared to Ayers? approach that captures the essence of the child."

Integrated Marketing, 2005.
This paper explores the concept of integrated marketing as applied to business.

Abstract
This paper defines integrated marketing and its usefulness in companies and their marketing campaigns. The author points out its use in measuring the success and structure of marketing campaigns as they lead to customer awareness. The paper includes several brief synopses of specific internet articles with integrated marketing as the main topics.
From the Paper
"ROI in marketing was developed as a method of measurement and, if used correctly, could enable a company, department or executive to prove his usefulness and importance within an organization. This concept takes what used to be a difficult process and migrated it into the form of statistical analysis as well as the translation into dollars. This can be done by tracking sales or counting certain hits on a website directly related to a recent marketing campaign. Unfortunately, marketing in business has often been viewed as a "necessary evil" or something that cannot be quantified. As stated in the article listed above, "marketing people" allow themselves to feel threatened over the issue that they often cannot justify their existence within a company. They are the ones who help generate sales but it is usually indirectly linked to their positions."

"Shortly after these changes began, ?inclusive? delivery models got underway, with early ones being physician-hospital organizations (PHOs) and integrated delivery networks (IDNs); arguably the coexistence of these led to the development of IDSs capable of operating within the four structures another researcher had identified, by 1996, as the evolving types of IDSs. These four models were HMOs, joint ventures such as Columbia/HCA, federations of community hospitals and a ?hub and spoke? arrangement bring large medical centers and nearby community hospitals into sync."
