\Life skills education focuses on equipping individuals with the abilities needed to navigate everyday challenges and lead fulfilling lives. It encompasses a range of psychosocial and interpersonal skills that enable informed decision-making, effective communication, and healthy relationships. This type of education goes beyond traditional academic subjects, emphasizing practical skills applicable to personal, social, and professional contexts. 



 




 


Key aspects of life skills education include:







Developing self-awareness and emotional intelligence:
Understanding one's own emotions and those of others, managing stress and anxiety, and building healthy relationships are crucial components. 



 















 









Enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving:
Learning to analyze information, identify problems, and develop effective solutions is essential for navigating complex situations. 



 












 








Improving communication and interpersonal skills:
Effective communication, both verbal and nonverbal, is vital for building strong relationships and resolving conflicts. 



 












 








Promoting decision-making and goal-setting:
Learning to make informed decisions, set realistic goals, and develop plans to achieve them are important life skills. 



 












 








Fostering adaptability and resilience:
Developing the ability to adapt to change, cope with setbacks, and bounce back from challenges is essential for navigating life's ups and downs. 



 












 








Encouraging responsible citizenship:
Understanding personal responsibility, contributing to the community, and promoting ethical behavior are important aspects of life skills education. 



 

The Covid-19 pandemic has created upheavals across industries and the year 2020 has seen unprecedented levels of unemployment. This means that hiring is becoming increasingly competitive due to the sheer volume of applicants, making the job of recruiters even more challenging. If at this time, your recruiters are busy doing their tasks manually, then most probably the goals that you would have laid out for your staffing firm this year are not going to be met or it would be challenging to meet them. Recruiters need to start thinking strategically for your firm to succeed in these times.
Technology is known for easing the challenges of any industry and staffing is no different. Irrespective of this global crisis, a strong technology stack can empower your recruiters and ensure that they face the challenges of the industry head on.
In this blog, we have listed some of the tedious tasks that recruiters have to do while hiring and how they can be eased with the use of technology.
 

 
Deal Sheets
Deal sheets, especially for healthcare staffing firms, require recruiters to perform the complex mathematical calculations and to determine rates and margins profitably. Deal sheets need to change on a client-by-client or job-by-job basis. This means changing burden types and rules for every single client or job.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Taxes need to be loaded in the calculation, orientation rates need to be set, overtime thresholds need to be set up, and more. Recruiters need to refer to the GSA database to populate lodging and per diem rates based on the location of the job.
If done manually this can be extremely complicated with a high risk of human error. An ATS that supports deal sheets configuration can be invaluable in such cases and can save a lot of time and improve productivity for recruiters.
How can TargetRecruit Help?
TargetRecruit’s Deal Sheets with Pay Packages feature helps recruiters dynamically confirm rates for both candidates and clients on the fly while adhering to contractual rates and maintaining margins. All the calculations are done on a deal sheets template, which can then be assigned to a client or a job. See this video and pdf to learn more.
To help close the loop, we offer the ability to send Pay Packages. Every time a job is created, including those from your VMS, and every time an applicant is created, including those from your website, you can automatically send formatted and personalized customized pay package emails to your candidates based on criteria you determine.
 
Emails
Most recruiters receive a huge volume of emails a day, from candidates or clients. In a scenario without the right technology in place, the recruiter will be moving back and forth between email and the ATS. So every time, a recruiter gets an email from a new contact or a candidate, he has to go to the ATS and create the profile manually. When a client sends a job order in an email, the job needs to be created in the ATS separately.
This may be manageable for smaller volumes but can easily tie up too much of a consultants time when the number of applicants increases, and can result in delays making candidates and jobs live, or result in only a selection of candidates making it into the ATS.
But, email is still the preferred communication channel for staffing firms, and it’s not going to change anytime soon.  The solution is an ATS with a fully integrated email solution, allowing seamless blending of data between the email client and the ATS database.  Candidate resumes and job briefs can be added in seconds and are immediately available for consultants to work on.
How can TargetRecruit Help?
With TargetRecruit Email Connector, TargetRecruit ATS can be integrated with Outlook or Gmail, you can view and access information about clients, candidates, and contacts directly from your inbox. Email integration will allow you to track all candidates and client emails automatically. You can quickly add a contact or a candidate from Outlook or Gmail, create job orders, parse resumes or add notes- all from your inbox. See this video and pdf to learn more.

Introduction:
The educator
prepares students for discussion, establishes an environment that welcomes thought, scaffolds discussion where needed, monitors participation, and consolidates thinking.
 
Collaborative discussion is one of the most effective tools to deepen students’ understanding and engagement with texts. Discussion offers students the opportunity to build arguments and defend them with evidence, consider opposing points of view, elaborate ideas, and build complex webs of knowledge by revealing and furthering thinking. Unfortunately, the amount of time devoted to classroom discussion is measurable in seconds per day (Nystrand 2006), and when discussion does occur, the quality and depth of students’ discourse is often limited (Zwiers & Crawford, 2011).
Though discussion is often considered a student-centric activity, reaping the benefits of discussion requires educators to play an active role in preparing students, creating an environment that welcomes thought, scaffolding discussion when needed, monitoring participation, and consolidating thinking.

Teaching Commons: “an emergent conceptual space for exchange and communityamong faculty, students, and all others committed to learning as an essential activity of life in contemporary democratic society”(Huber and Hutchings, 2005, p.1) 
What Is the #iteachmsu Commons?    You teach MSU. We, the Academic Advancement Network, The Graduate School, and The Hub for Innovation in Learning and Technology, believe that a wide educator community (faculty, TAs, ULAs, instructional designers, academic advisors, et al.) makes learning happen across MSU. But, on such a large campus, it can be difficult to fully recognize and leverage this community’s teaching and learning innovations. To address this challenge, the #iteachmsu Commons provides an educator-driven space for sharing teaching resources, connecting across educator networks, and growing teaching practice.#iteachmsu Commons content may be discipline-specific or transdisciplinary, but will always be anchored in teaching competency areas. You will find blog posts, curated playlists, educator learning module pathways, and a campus-wide teaching and learning events calendar. We cultivate this commons across spaces. And through your engagement, we will continue to nurture a culture of teaching and learning across MSU and beyond.  
How Do I Contribute to the #iteachmsu Commons? Content is organized by posts, playlists and pathways.Posts: Posts are shorter or longer-form blog postings about teaching practice(s), questions for the educator community, and/or upcoming teaching and learning events. With an MSU email address and free account signup, educators can immediately contribute blog posts and connected media (e.g. handouts, slide decks, class activity prompts, promotional materials). All educators at MSU are welcome to use and contribute to #iteachmsu. And there are no traditional editorial calendars. Suggested models of posts can be found here.Playlists: Playlists are groupings of posts curated by individual educators and the #iteachmsu community. Playlists allow individual educators to tailor their development and community experiences based on teaching competency area, interest, and/or discipline.Pathways: Pathways are groupings of educator learning modules curated by academic and support units for badges and other credentialing. 
There are two ways to add your contribution to the space:Contribute existing local resources for posts and pathways: Your unit, college, and/or department might already have educator development resources that could be of use to the wider MSU teaching and learning community.

Early education ensures free, integral and harmonious development of the child's personality, according to his rhythm and needs. The education provided has to ensure the differentiated stimulation of children, aiming the intellectual, emotional, social and physical development of each child and targeting to achieve the following results of early education (from birth to 6/7 years old):


The free, integral and harmonious development of the child's personality, according to his own pace and general needs, supporting his autonomous and creative training.


Development of the capacity to interact with other children, with adults and with the environment to acquire new knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours; encouraging exploration, exercises, tests and experiments, as autonomous learning experiences.


The discovery, by each child, of his/her own identity and autonomy and the development of a positive self-image.


Supporting the child in the acquisition of knowledge, abilities, skills and attitudes required for his school entry and throughout life.


All activities with young children should respect child's right to play - viewed as a form of activity, method, procedure and means of achieving educational approaches at early ages, as well as a method of stimulating the capacity and creativity of the child, as a right of him and as an opening to freedom to choose, according to his/her own needs.

Through a case study on Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, learners will explore how scientists study ecosystem
 
The idea that food webs and ecosystem functioning are intimately linked harkens back at least to the work of Forbes (1887). He pondered, in his lake as a microcosm paper, the complexity of lake ecosystems and how this complexity could be maintained given the complex network of trophic interactions. He also emphasized that spatial structure, both within and among lakes, could be important. Lindeman (1942) built on Forbes’s vision of a food web as a microcosm by linking a simplified view of food webs to ecosystem metabolism. Since then, much thinking has gone into understanding food webs and their links to ecosystem attributes (Odum 1957; Margalef 1963), but until recently the importance of space has not sufficiently been integrated into these thoughts. By contrast, the importance of space to populations and communities has been recognized for some time (Watt 1947; Skellam 1951; MacArthur & Wilson 1967), but the connection between this literature and food webs and ecosystems is only now being resolved (Loreau et al. 2003; Polis et al. 2004; Holt & Hoopes 2005; Pillai et al. 2009; Gravel et al. 2010a). Some progress has been made (e.g. Polis et al. 2004; Holyoak et al. 2005), but most of the work on the spatial food web and ecosystem properties has progressed along with two relatively independent traditions.
