Top Reasons Why Business Intelligence is Crucial for Education Business intelligence, to most people, is a tool that serves a purpose only in the context of typical businesses. For example, it would fit right in an IT company. Alternatively, perhaps help a retailer streamline their business. However, what if we told you that business intelligence could prove to be equally potent in the education sector as well? Considering that the stakes are much higher in this industry, it is imperative to have a tool that can enable institutes to leverage the wealth of data they possess. Discover in-depth insights: With business intelligence in their arsenal, educational companies are able to understand better not only the students they serve but also the market.
Hur kan man synliggöra förmågorna? | TheBig6 | #visombärenförmåga Ja, den frågan möter jag ofta. Samma fråga från pedagoger i förskoleklass, ämneslärare i matematik och slöjd, klasslärare och fritidspersonal. Jag har arbetat med att synliggöra förmågorna i skolan på ett medvetet sätt i ett år nu. Kanske många lärare vill ”få med allt”? Kompletta LPPer och matriser? Den här sammanställningen ”The Big 5″ har fått oss att tala om förmågorna i skolan, oavsett pedagogisk roll. För ganska exakt ett år sedan fick jag en idé som jag testade på mina egna barn. Det här var på höstlovet 2012. Att synliggöra veckans förmåga handlar om att ge eleverna ett språk – ett gemensamt språk. Redan andra veckan kände jag att det var något som saknades i sammanställningen ”The Big 5″. Jag vill att alla elever ska känna sig delaktiga i skolan och känna att de har möjlighet att göra sitt bästa. Men, hur synliggör man förmågorna då? Jag tror att man ska börja redan i förskoleklass. Jag har många gånger liknat förmågorna vid ett tåg ”Ett tåg lastat med förmågor…”. /Lotta

Teenage Money Management (Personal Finance Tips for Teens) - Mint Teenage money management isn’t always a fun topic to broach with your 13-going-on-30 year old who thinks they already know it all. But cultivating positive habits and good personal finance for teens is a quality they’ll use and appreciate their entire lives—and a skill you’ll be grateful for, too, once your young adult establishes their own financial independence.

Sadly, few teens understand basic financial terms (such as “interest rate”, “debit card”, and “financial institution”), or are saving for long term goals, like college or buying a home.
