How to Use Divergent Thinking to Succeed at School

How to Use Divergent Thinking to Succeed at School As a University writing tutor, the most common thing I hear from my students is, “I’m just not good at this.” At some point in the writing process they ask me to accept their apparently fatal (academic) flaws and move on. They try to tell me, as they were once told, that they simply aren’t smart enough to complete their essay. My students’ doubts reflect a history of education that buys into the myth of innate academic ability as the sole predictor of success at school. It’s an idea that has been criticized over and over againâ€"perhaps most famously by education adviser Sir Ken Robinson in the most viewed TED Talk of all timeâ€"but that still rings true for many students. Part of the problem is that students are often told that there is only one right answer, only one right way to get to that answer, and if you’re doing it wrong then it’s game over. In tandem with exam anxiety, this pressure paralyzes students to the point where they’re afraid to suggest any answer for fear of looking stupid. One solution is to do away with the pressure of the perfect, singular answer with divergent thinking. In the words of Ken Robinson, “Divergent thinking is an essential capacity for creativity.” When using divergent thinking methods, the number of interpretations of and solutions for any given problem are endless. Instead of stressing about writing the perfect thesis  or solving the equation in one try, divergent thinking encourages students to explore and record as many options as possible without judgement. Only once every possibility has been delved into is it time to start asking questions and using reason to narrow your focus to the best choices. While this sounds like a simple concept, divergent thinking goes beyond coddling students who don’t like being wrong. Statistically, students who are encouraged to use divergent thinking methods demonstrate greater confidence, improved mood, stronger academic ability, and a penchant for entrepreneurship. According to intelligence scholar  James Flynn, the effect of divergent thinking also reads  on a standardized scale. Since 1930, average IQ scores across the globe have consistently increased. One explanation links this improvement to upgrades in human “mental artillery:” the ability to classify, to use logic on abstractions, and to take the hypothetical seriously. In other words, the ability to produce and analyze hypotheticals, to use divergent thinking, has helped  people become better thinkers. So, how do we teach divergent thinking? Encourage Questions. Instead of evaluating ideas as good or bad, distill the strongest solutions by asking questions about their effectiveness, their relevance to the problem, and their shortcomings. Reframe Failure. Treat failure as the middle of a healthy process, rather than the catastrophic end. As Robinson said, “If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.” Collaborate. Allow students to build off each other, combine their ideas, and foster a creative community. Think Strange. This exercise is popular amongst interviewers. Take an everyday object like a stapler or a paperclip, and ask students to think of as many unconventional uses for that object as possible. Go for quantity: nothing is too strange! Start at the End. Instead of asking students to brainstorm solutions, ask them to formulate a problem. This can be framed however you’d likeâ€"by location, demographic, subject, etc.â€"but work towards problems that are clear, concise and purposeful. Good luck!

GCSE exam results 2017

GCSE exam results 2017 We would like to wish all our tutees the best of luck today as they receive their GCSE exam results. Our tutors no doubt will also be anxious to hear from parents and students with their good news - hopefully! The team at First Tutors love watching the amazing feedback pouring in from students and parents, whilst many tutors update their tutor profiles with their pupil's results. In a few days time we will be posting some of the best summer feedback comments from happy students this year. Due to the changes in this year's GCSE grading system, this year's results can't be compared with those of previous years according to headteachers. There are now three top grades - 7, 8 and 9 - compared to two under the old system - A* and A - with A* results now split into 8s and 9s. This needs to be taken into consideration when interpreting this year's GCSE national data which reveal: The proportion of GCSE entries receiving grade A/7 or above has fallen 0.5% to 20% compared with last year. Overall in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, passes (grades C/4 and above) dropped 0.6 percentage points to 66.3%. In England, the English literature pass-rate fell 2.5 percentage points to 72%, but in maths it rose from 61.5% to 68.9%. Both are the new, tougher exams. Exam boards revealed that 2,000 extremely able candidates got a 9 in all three new exams. There were 50,000 grade 9s overall - two-thirds of which were girls. For those of you who haven't received the grades they were hoping for, we advise being at the school on results day so that you can talk to your teachers for the best advice. If you need to resit GCSE maths or English these exams are available in November but if you need to resit several subjects you may have to wait until June 2018. If you don't get into sixth form or college perhaps studying A-levels isn't for you but there are other types of qualifications available such as BTECs or City Guilds. If you are thinking of finding a private tutor we are here to help. Now, it's easier than ever to register and create a request to contact as many tutors you wish within in few minutes.

Tips for Salary Negotiation

Tips for Salary Negotiation Image via Pixabay In the upcoming months, thousands of young twenty-somethings will walk across a college stage to receive a piece of paper that represents a college degree one has worked anywhere from three to five years for. The end goal is to enter the work world and begin working at a really great job, making a really great salary, and paying off those hefty student loans. By working so hard to earn your degree, you are well ahead of those who opted not to go to college and certainly ahead of those who barely made it out of high school and are still working their part-time high school job at your age. However, there is a good chance that most grads will be so happy to even land a great job that they will fail to do one thing: Ask for the money they really want. You may think, “This is my first job, I don’t want to make a bad impression so I will keep my mouth shut and do what they tell me.” Or, “I am so excited to have this offer compared to friend 1 who received a lesser offer and friend 2 who didn’t receive an offer at all.” Or, still, “The company knows what it’s doing; I’m just a new grad with a lot to learn.” (Sure, the company knows what it’s doing and it’s largely looking out for its own best interests). But has any of this ever crossed your mind? A 2015 survey by NerdWallet and Looksharp found that out of almost 8,000 new graduates who entered the working world in a three-year period (2012 and 2015) and 700 employers, only 38 percent of those who responded negotiated with their employers upon receiving a job offer. And nearly 75 percent of employers said they had space to increase their first salary job offers by 5 percent to 10 percent. On top of that, 84 percent of employers said one would not be putting their job at risk if they asked for a negotiation, including entry-level candidates. So, what does this mean for you? Well, it means two things. First, you don’t have to give in to fear of losing a job or job offer. PayScale revealed in its Salary Negotiation Guide that 28 percent of survey respondents felt uncomfortable negotiating their salary, 19 percent didn’t want to be perceived as pushy, and 8 percent feared losing their job. When it comes to dealing with money, things can get awkward and even make you feel anxious at the negotiating table. But, come on, it’s your life. What do you have to lose? According to David Fletcher, career advisor at American University, “Employers work very hard to identify a strong candidate the last thing they are going to do is toss out a top candidate because someone wanted a few thousand dollars more.” Second, companies always have room to pay more. However, they will pay as low a salary as they can for the greatest amount of productivity possible. The company may not willingly offer a pay raise and thus you’ll probably never get one if you don’t ask. The biblical admonition, “ask and ye shall receive” still rings true. If you don’t ask, you won’t get. So, if you’re a recent grad, here are some tips to follow to negotiate your salaries: DO YOUR RESEARCH Throughout the interview process, show that you can do the job, prepare for the role, and act as if the job is already yours. Find out what is expected in the job position, and then train yourself to take on the role. Be knowledgeable and show you are capable. When it comes to negotiation time, the hiring manager will offer the lowest end of the salary stick. You can present an outline of what you will do or have done in the job position and work your way up to the salary you desire. USE YOUR BRAIN You must have a rationale for the pay raise. This can be based on previous experience whether paid or unpaid. It can be based on a  general salary range for the position. It can be based on unique skills you bring to the company. Saying you want a pay raise just because isn’t going to cut it. Don’t come across as demanding or entitled. If they say no the first time, don’t give up. Bring it up again in three months, six months. In between that time, prove yourself. ASK FOR ALTERNATIVE PERKS An increased salary may not always be feasible or possible at the time of your request. Consider asking for additional vacation time, one day a week to work remotely, work schedule flexibility, stock options, a better retirement package, increased health benefits, and so forth. You want to be both respectful and reasonable. An all or nothing approach will hurt you far more in the long run than getting what you want or at least what can be beneficial to you all along the way. KNOW YOUR WORTH This should probably be number one. But enter the process with reasonable expectations and information to support what you’re saying. If you increased sales at Company One by 50 percent in six months, then it is likely you can do it for Company Two. Know what you’re capable of and be humbly firm and confident about it. Don’t go by what your friends say they did to get the job or what they earn or that you have $XX expenses to cover. The goal is to share your skills, experience, ability, education, and how you can make a difference in the overall goal of the company. If you know who you are, know how good you are, and know what you can offer and politely and reasonably express your request for a salary increase, any employer would be willing to work with you and in the end, you may end up getting far more than you asked for.

Budgeting while teaching in the UAE

Budgeting while teaching in the UAE It’s no secret that teaching abroad in the Middle East offers very lucrative contracts for teachers. The contract benefits and salaries many Middle Eastern teaching positions often pale in comparison to other teaching abroad opportunities. Programs like these are a great way for certified teachers to expand their professional profile, travel the world and save some money all at the same time. I taught in Abu Dhabi from January 2010 to December 2015. Part of the reason I stayed so long was because of the amazing financial benefits. I was able to live a life of luxury while still saving over $1,000 USD per month. I was able to travel, participate in many social activities, pay off all my debt and save! Below is a summary of my personal spending habits while teaching in the UAE, living in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. Hopefully this will help you get a better idea of the average cost of living for a couple in the UAE. The budget below will vary based on your individual spending habits and number of family members in your household. Your savings will vary depending on your personal financial goals. It’s really important to balance your spending and saving in order to make the most of your international teaching experience. Income My average monthly salary as a teacher in the UAE was about $3,600 per month. The salary is tax free in the UAE. I was a new teacher, so at the lower end of the pay scale, however, the amount was more than enough to live comfortably and save extra money. Accommodation Many teaching contracts in the UAE provide housing or housing allowances. I lived in a large 2-bedroom apartment, as a single teacher. The rent was covered as part of the benefits of the contract. I had to cover the cost of my utilities, which included water and electricity (around $160 per month), and internet/cable (roughly $95 per month). I was also provided with a furniture allowance when I arrived. I was able to get some great lightly-used furniture for half the price and saved some of this money. Pro tip: check out the local swap and shop groups to get in on those deals! Transportation The most common and convenient way to travel in the UAE is by car. It is very important to rent,lease or buy a new or used car when living in the UAE. Some of the larger cities do have public transit however, these can be expensive and unreliable. I chose to rent a car(a Toyota Yaris) for $435 per month. Check out dubizzle.com for more option on renting, leasing or buying a car. Remember, with driving comes gas expenses as well. Gas is relatively cheap in the UAE, costing only $13 to fill up a tank. I didn'thave to pay any maintenance fees for the vehicle because I rented, but if you decide to lease or buy a car, you should set aside some extra money each month for miscellaneous vehicle expenses (such as tune-ups or oil changes). Phone I had my smartphone unlocked when I arrived to the UAE. I was able to purchase a monthly data and calling plan which included 1 GB of data and unlimited text and local talk for approximately $28 per month. Groceries I spent on average about $300 on groceries for myself and my husband. This included shopping at the more exclusive and expensive foreign grocery stores â€" sometimes you just need a little taste of home! Eating Out We ate out a lot, as there are a variety of local and foreign foods available in the UAE. If you are looking to save some money but still want to eat out, I’d suggest trying the local restaurants. You can get a shawarma for $1. Overall my husband and I spent about $300 per month eating out. Shopping My shopping obsession was fully satisfied by the large shopping malls in the UAE. There is no tax in the UAE, so you pay the sticker price. I spent about $300 per month. A great way to bargain shop in the UAE is visiting the local souks or Karama,a major shopping marketin Dubai. Entertainment My entertainment costs (not including eating out or shopping) came to about $200 per month. Most of my entertainment costs came from visiting friends in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and participating in group activities such as Friday brunch and yachting (yes, you can afford to do that in the UAE!) Travel I was lucky enough to be able to travel to a variety of different countries at a relatively low cost by buying packages on various deal sites online. For example, I went to Kenyaall-inclusivefor four days for $800 with a Groupon. I was also able to take a weekend trip to Sri Lanka for about $500. I’d take about 2 trips per year. I was also provided a round-trip airfare as part of my contract, so I was able to return home to Canada once a year as well. Miscellaneous I would add an additional $200 per month for miscellaneous costs. Things like gym memberships, taxis, gifts, haircuts/beauty would all be included in this category. Total savings/month teaching in the UAE Accommodation $255 Transportation $500 Phone $28 Groceries/eating out $600 Clothes shopping $300 Entertainment $200 Travel $150 Misc. $200 Total expenses $2,230 Total savings/month $1,370 I would highly recommend the UAE to anyone looking to teach abroad. Teaching abroad in the UAE was a rewarding experience both personally and professionally, and the salary allowed me to save more than I could ever have dreamed of in my home country.
