RECOMMENDATIONS, STRATEGIES, AND STANDARDS
Deanna Buchanan
Southern New Hamphsire University
Recommendations
Recommendations are made for a group of people or an individual, and this is done for a particular purpose. Recommendations are made to improve certain areas that may not be running accordingly, and this helps to improve performance.
Specific recommendations that would lead to the improvement of the academic program.
The group of people who were giving recommendations found put that there was a difference between the learning centers and the learners in these centers. There was a difference between schools owned privately and those owned by members of the society, and this also leads to a different mode of offering education. One of the recommendations is to teach students to use technology and thus gain engineering skills as well as use mathematical concepts in making innovations. The creation of the curriculum should be an obligation of all the people involved, and this helps in engaging everybody in decision making. The learners should dedicate their actions to learning, and the management should support the students so that they can give their best and thus achieve the best results.
a) General recommendations
Criticism of the efficiency of education should be made based on academic excellence and the degree of learners. Learners who have excelled have good results, and a good understanding of concepts learned in class. They also apply these concepts in their day to day lives. Various ways of giving knowledge as well as criticizing should be used.
The STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) should be used to assign objectives and to understand the process. Nobody can apply or use a method they do not understand, and this means that one has to study it well before using the concepts to be creative and innovative. Innovation leads to advancement in science, technology, economy and even personal growth. Teachers should ensure they enhance the process they use in teaching and also reward students they teach in their institutions by offering them opportunities to further their studies.
b) Recommendations to the academic department managers, supervisors of various bodies, and department heads.
The leadership of various departments should provide conditions favorable for the students to contribute towards the improvement and growth of the institution by publishing results of research that they do, and this helps to show to the world what the institution is doing in terms of research. This attracts financiers and helps to advance the students career-wise and in their personal life. The institution management should come up with programs that enhance innovation among the students. The programs should be related to the four areas in STEM.The administration should also dedicate resources for the improvement of the overall educational status — for example, funding research.
C) Recommendations in education departments
Heads of departments should focus on achieving the objectives of the higher learning institution. The goals include developing a regular periodic manner learning which;
· Pays special attention to ensuring an effective overall education.
· Ensures that individual learner’s knowledge touches all aspects of the developed curriculum.
Each head of the department should give recommendations that illustrate different statuses of education, investigations, and facts to the recommendations made. The recommendations should be periodical and based on the periodical reviews that are conducted by these senior officials. National set standards and rules should be followed to the letter in performing these periodical reviews.
Strategies for implementation of the recommendations
The departments should establish annual objectives to ensure that the overall goals are achieved. Policies to ensure the execution of the strategies should be formulated. There should be established steps and plans to implement the recommendations. These steps should be clear in detail in explaining what activity and how it is going to be conducted. Moreover, resources such as finance and human personnel should be appropriately allocated to ensure the realization of the learning institution objectives. Effective allocation of resources ensures it makes the implementation resources simpler and efficient. After all, this is done, there should be the actual performance of activities and tasks — proper management in controlling and leading the performance of the events in various departments of the learning institution.
· The teachers should ensure that the methods they use in teaching are effective and improving the overall performance of the learners.
· The university should advocate for an increase in research funds from the government so that research does not stay at a standstill due to lack of resources.
· The management should ensure there are WIFI and comfortable facilities in the library and classes that enhance learning. For example, comfortable chairs and enough reading materials.
Giving scholarships to students who pass very well so that they can advance their education, and this helps to increase the number of staff who teach in institutions and who spearheads the STEM program.
· Coming up with programs that are relevant and that equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to apply in their day to day life.
· Creating awareness on the STEM method in the institution to make students and staff understand it first before using it.
Regulatory and accreditation standards
Departments of the learning institution should comply with specific set rules and regulations by the government regarding higher learning institution. Such regulations and standards ensure that the education system meets the national graduate requirements. The first recommendation is based on the provision by the government that all national academies of engineering, science, and medicine should be practical. Moreover, their level of excellence should ensure that all degree students are taught from several different perspectives (Lukman & Glavic, 2007). The government also requires that all science, engineering, and medicine academies emphasize on the recommendations made by their senior departmental academic officials.
The level of excellence and efficiency in learning should be focused according to set priorities of the learning institution. Scholarship opportunities should be open to excellent students hence thereby giving them a chance to further their studies. Moreover, the senior departmental officials in the learning institution should provide and conduct standard reviews of the university programs. The reports should be based on the requirements of the national academies of engineering, sciences, and medicine.
The recommendations made in general, comply with the nationally established curriculum. The national curriculum is there to ensure that all teaching and learning programs are efficient, and this is possible by keeping the main focus on technological, engineering, scientific, and mathematical techniques that a student acquires in class. The senior officials in the learning institution conduct periodical reviews and report the outcomes of the reviews to the education management program. The reviews are meant to ensure that teaching and learning are up to the standards in line with the mission statement of the learning institution.
The recommendations made by the different departmental official are critical in the system if education. This is because the government uses these recommendations to conducts improvement in the education system. Also, the proposals follow the set standards by the national academies of engineering, science, and medicine (Hooker & Brand, 2010). Implementing these recommendations ensures that the university is headed in the right direction in all its aspects.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the recommendations have to have strategies which are to be used to implement them. Regulation and accreditation standards are also critical for the whole process to be effective.
