‘Progress, not perfection’ – the core philosophy behind The Sweat Box – KitchenerToday.com

Posted: January 9, 2020 at 6:49 am


For Christine and Marc Steiniger, husband and wife co-owners of The Sweat Box Fitness Studio in Kitchener, their fitness journeys took very different paths.

"I was a long distance runner," says Christine. "People were always asking me to help them learn how to run, so I would teach them. Then I started helping them build exercise programs." Eventually Christine decided to turn her coaching into a business; after completing the required certifications she became a personal trainer and in 2016 started her business Body By Chris.

Marc's journey wasn't as direct. "I spent 20 years in tech," explains Marc. "Think of an active and healthy lifestyle - that wasn't me." By age 40 Marc weighed 250 pounds: he wasn't exercising, was eating poorly, and wasn't managing the stress of his tech job very well. He knew he had to make a change and began exercising, eventually working with a personal trainer and then taking part in group fitness classes. Not only did he begin to lose the excess weight, Marc noticed he felt better about himself. He had more confidence, and was handling his stress better. Eventually Marc decided to become a certified trainer himself. "I was passionate about fitness, and I also saw it as a natural progression so I could help Chris out with her business when she needed it," he says.

Three years later and their fitness paths now connected, the couple decided to open The Sweat Box - a fitness studio offering personal training and group fitness classes.

"Body by Chris was doing well: her success was quite dramatic," says Marc, "but she was a one woman show. She was renting a gym for her personal training business, and we could see she was going to hit a limit where she was."

"I had a 6 month waiting list for clients," Christine says. "I wasn't able to hire anyone in the place I was renting, and I couldn't grow like I wanted to in the space I was in. So Marc and I made a decision to shift from Body by Chris and evolve into The Sweat Box."

They began looking for a location for their new business, and in June 2019 they opened the doors to their studio located at 35 Trillium Drive, Unit 4 in Kitchener. They describe The Sweat Box as a boutique style fitness centre that's not like traditional gyms. Members can book personal and group training sessions to work with their schedules, and there are no contracts. Part of what makes them unique is their focus on form; both Christine and Marc concentrate on teaching technique so that members are training safely. They say The Sweat Box is all about developing general health, strength and cardio capacity in order to make people's day to day living 'amazing'. While the couple works together to grow the business and design the programs, Marc's focus is on group classes and administration, while Christine's is on personal training.

"I love the one-on-one relationship," says Christine, "I like to make people feel good about themselves, and not intimidated about coming into our space. I like group training too, but the relationship is stronger in personal fitness and I love empowering women and men and making them feel good. Our clients have to feel good about themselves - that's what we're really about."

They've built a very committed community of members in a short period of time, and reviews have been overwhelming.

"It makes my heart sing," says Christine. "People who come to The Sweat Box like how we motivate them, and how we drive them. The Google reviews our members have posted make me so thankful. It's like my passion is flowing into them!"

"The best feedback I've received came from a female client in her 40's who told me she was having her snow tires put on and had to put the tires in her car," says Marc. "She grabbed them and put them in, and it was no big deal. It was the first time she didn't have to ask her husband to do it for her."

One thing the duo has learned through their respective journeys is that fitness goals are very personal - they have to be something you want.

"Before he began to work out I was always there for Marc, but getting fit was a decision he had to make on his own," Christine explains. "No matter what, you can't change for anyone else - you need to change for yourself. We say that to our members, we say that to our personal training clients; if you think you're doing this for someone else, you're not going to be as successful. If you're doing this for you, you're making that choice, and that's what's going to make your transition stick."

"And it's not about being perfect and adhering to lofty goals," adds Marc. "It's about doing one thing better today than you did yesterday. All of those little positive changes become cumulative very quickly!"

edX Launches MicroBachelors Programs, an Innovative Undergraduate-Level Credential That Will Transform the Future of Work and Higher Education -…

Posted: at 6:46 am


CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--edX.org, the trusted platform for learning, today announced MicroBachelors Programs, the first credit-backed stackable credential, marking a significant milestone in online learning. Created by edX in an innovative partnership with top universities and Fortune 1000 corporations, MicroBachelors programs deliver immediately transferable skills to meet the real-world needs of employers, while providing a pathway to a full Bachelors degree.

MicroBachelors programs are designed for adults without a college degree who believe they need additional education to advance in their careers. This group, like the majority of Americans, cannot afford a traditional Bachelors degree and cannot take the time away from work to pursue one. Additionally, the rate at which technological change is affecting the global workforce means that adults need immediately transferable skills that can be delivered in months, not years.

Breaking down the barriers of time and money, MicroBachelors programs are affordable, priced between $500 and $1,500 (roughly $166 per credit), and can be completed fully online, allowing working adults to complete the coursework on their own schedule. The programs are independently valuable as the rigorous content is created by academic institutions with input from industry leaders to deliver immediately transferable skills for the workplace. In addition, since the programs are backed by credit, once earned, learners can elect to apply credit from one of edXs university credit partners toward a full Bachelors degree. MicroBachelors programs fit into edXs vision to transform the delivery of education in a modular, stackable way.

edX was founded on the mission to increase access to high-quality education for everyone, everywhere and MicroBachelors programs are the next step forward in fulfilling that mission, said edX Founder and CEO Anant Agarwal. These programs are a significant step towards making a key academic milestone the Bachelors degree accessible and doing so in a way that positively impacts the members of our workforce most at risk to be displaced by automation and other changes in the workplace. We are thrilled to be able to collaborate with our academic and industry partners to offer these programs that enable continuous, lifelong learning and promise immediately applicable skills and knowledge with a valuable credit-backed credential.

The first MicroBachelors programs are IT Career Framework from Western Governors University (WGU), which is recognized for credit by WGU and Computer Science Fundamentals from New York University (NYU), which is pending recognition for credit by Thomas Edison State University (TESU). This is WGUs first offering as a new edX partner and marks an important milestone as the non-profit universitys first globally-available undergraduate modular online credential. Additionally, Arizona State University will be offering Professional Writing, with further offerings to be announced.

Corporations like IBM see value in new kinds of programs such as these to meet workplace upskilling and employability needs.

Technologies such as AI are increasingly changing the workforce, so the nature of education will have to evolve accordingly," said Guillermo Miranda, vice president and head of IBM Corporate Social Responsibility. "To give people the right skills and credentials for in-demand positions, and to meet employees where they are, stakeholders now need to offer a spectrum of resources for online and in-person instruction, as well as immersive, experiential learning. MicroBachelors programs are innovative as they can play a valuable role in these offerings.

Development of MicroBachelors programs is funded by Boeing, Lumina Foundation, SunTrust Foundation now Truist Foundation, Walmart, Jeremy M. and Joyce E. Wertheimer Foundation and Yidan Prize Foundation. This diverse group of supporters recognize the importance of addressing the global workforce education challenges that companies and workers face.

edX is also launching the MicroBachelors Program Skills Advisory Council a groundbreaking group of select foundations, corporations and academic institutions that will work to identify the core skills and learning pathways that MicroBachelors programs should deliver on.

Were pleased to support the MicroBachelors programs, as we believe its important for higher education institutions and businesses to partner together to transform, strengthen, and improve learning to help prepare people to enter the workforce and be successful, said Lynette Bell, president, Truist Foundation. Our participation in the MicroBachelors Program Skills Advisory Council, a group bringing together the key stakeholders in this arena, is a fundamental part of creating these conversations.

10 education trends to watch in 2020 – India Today

Posted: at 6:46 am


Until a few years ago, the online medium in India was used only for the consumption of entertainment content. Today, with rapid penetration of the Internet and smartphones, it is fast gaining popularity as a preferred medium for learning and higher education. According to a report titled 'Online Education in India: 2021' by KPMG India and Google, the Indian online education market is set for a quantum growth of eight times in the next three years.

Let us examine the trends that will dominate the specialized education space in India in the year 2020. These trends also explain why there has been a distinct surge in online education in the country-a trend that will continue to dominate throughout the year 2020.

Online courses will be more job-oriented

Online courses are a quicker route for churning out employable professionals. In this context, we are seeing industries collaborating with colleges as well as educational start-ups to prepare courses in tune with the current market demands, making online course students readily employable.

Moreover, data-rich online learning models go a long way in solving hiring woes by making study materials more accurate, efficient and up to date.

Closing down of engineering and technical colleges

The number of students opting for engineering and technical education colleges has been on a decline in the recent past. This has been the case because the courses these colleges offer are not regularly updated, even as these institutes face a shortage of funds and qualified teachers.

Emergence of online courses by reputed institutes

Several prestigious universities and colleges in India have started offering online learning. These include government-backed organizations like the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B) and private ones like the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE). This trend will continue in 2020.

Easier enrolment and access

Online learning programs are much easier to enroll for and to access, compared to the traditional model of education. Students can participate in the course as well as carry out the study formalities like fees payment from the comfort of their homes. Also, the fees are much lower than what one has to pay for traditional education.

Newly introduced Income Share agreements from online ed-tech start-ups are also picking up steam.

Scope for pre-empting and predicting outcomes

There is a big focus on the analytics of online data related to students.

This data is used by institutions and educators as a model of predictive surveillance for projecting student expectations and future behaviors to optimize the learning experience.

Transparent processes and improved student self-monitoring

Digital data utilized by the online medium, results in improved proficiency and transparency in educational processes. The granular data flow makes the education process a lot more transparent for all those involved - be it the students, parents, teachers or the industry. It also helps students self-diagnose as well as self-monitor their learning procedures.

Student assessment at a granular level

The online learning concept makes available appropriate software tools for helping teachers assess students on a broad gamut of parameters. Such technical strengths will continue to boost the prospects of online education next year.

Flexible, scalable and facilitating personalized experience

The online learning medium gives flexibility to frequently add, remove or even entirely modify the course content. It also offers a personalized experience to students, who can not only access course content as per their requirements but also, access teachers and mentors relevant to the course.

For example, if a student who requires additional help on a subject can make use of the available software modules and Apps that are designed for improving the individual learning experience. Also, online learning models are scalable, and students can opt for more course modules to suit their requirements and preferences.

Government support for online learning

The Indian government is taking several strong measures to boost digital reforms and online learning is no exception. According to the Government of India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology website, it has been financially helping R&D projects in the field of eLearning at many educational institutes.

With the twin objectives of encouraging skill-based learning and creating employable resources, it supports programs for course content development, R&D technology initiatives, human resource development, and faculty training.

Income Sharing Agreement (ISA) model

Lastly, nowadays, several colleges, institutes, and even niche education programs, have started experimenting with a novel, Income sharing Agreement (ISA) model. In this, the educational institute/company agrees to bear the expenditure of learning of the students and the student, in turn, agrees to share her/ his income once (s)he gets hired after the course is completed to pay for the course fee.

While making institutes accountable, ISA also signals the definite emergence of high-quality outcome-oriented courses.

Attendance is vital to educational succcess – Cranston Herald

Posted: at 6:46 am


By JEANNINE NOTA-MASSE

Happy New Year to all and welcome back to school! I hope you all enjoyed the winter break and youre ready to take on the next portion of the school year here in Cranston.

We are now in the final stretch of the first semester for our high school students. We are into the second trimester for our elementary school students and nearing the end of the second quarter for our middle school students. Its hard to believe that so much of the school year is already behind us! February will mark the halfway point of the school year.

These next few months ahead, like those before them, are a crucial part of our students educational journeys. Every single day, every single instructional minute, counts.

In the spring we will begin taking our standardized tests. Our secondary students will be taking the SAT, ACT and AP (Advanced Placement) tests, our younger students will be taking RICAS and several of our grade levels will be taking the NGSA science assessments. Many of our high school students have already taken the PSAT tests and some may take them again.

Those types of standardized tests are just one assessment tool that we use when examining our student data to measure what our students have mastered and where we need to place extra effort in our instructional methods going forward. They assess what our students have learned during their instructional time in class from their designated teachers, while at school. Although those types of tests are well known and many look to them as an indicator of student and district achievement, our students are being assessed daily when they are present in class.

Educators look to see who understands a concept which has just been taught by a show of hands, an answer written on a white board, an exit ticket or even by a small group or one-on-one discussion with the teacher. These assessments are given in addition to more formal tests and quizzes. Teachers use this feedback to adjust instruction and pacing.

These types of anecdotal assessments cant be done when a student is not in class, and the more a student misses, the harder it is for them to catch up. If a teacher sees that a student or group of students needs extra help with a concept, they can re-teach that concept or provide resources and activities for reinforcement. Those who are not present in class every day miss all of those opportunities.

Unfortunately, chronic absenteeism is a problem in our schools here in Cranston and nationwide. During the winter months, we often see spikes in rates of absenteeism. Sometimes this is due to bad weather, sometimes its due to student or teacher illness, or sometimes its even due to the illness of a family member responsible for getting students to school. Other times, its due to the decision to pull students out of school for several days for a family vacation during non-designated school breaks.

I cannot stress to you enough the importance of everyone being at school every day when they are well, every day that school is in session.

Its a common misconception that absences do not impact students at the elementary level, or that doing work while on vacation is the same as being present for instruction in a classroom. Nothing could be further from the truth. Absenteeism impacts every student at every grade level. Nothing can take the place of being in the classroom for instruction and authentic classroom learning activities, and nothing can replace the physical presence of a classroom teacher being present to facilitate the learning.

In fact, recent data shows that children who miss too much school in kindergarten are less likely to read well by the third grade. By middle school, absenteeism can predict who will graduate from high school. Absences, even if they are excused, can add up to academic trouble. This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school. Additionally, although our district does have a policy for excusing absences see the student handbook found on our district website for details our state does not excuse absences. Our Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) accountability ratings depend greatly on everyone, both our educators and our students, being in school when it is in session. When looking at our schools accountability (our star ratings), know that chronic absenteeism plays an important part in determining how RIDE has arrived at our school and district scores.

I encourage you to have a backup plan in place to get your students to school if there is a cancellation or delay due to weather or in case of your own illness. Work with your students to help them understand the extreme importance of being in school each and every day to participate in the instructional activities and assessments taking place there. Let them know that you too, value the importance of this time on learning by keeping your familys vacations in line with our district calendar.

As parents and families ourselves, we can appreciate the budgetary or scheduling issues that traveling during a school vacation week may cause, but we value the extreme impact of time on learning from the teacher in the classroom even more.

Family memories last a lifetime, and so does ones education. Lets all work together as educators, students, and families to be sure that our students have both.

Jeannine Nota-Masse is superintendent of Cranston Public Schools.

The Online Learning Minute: The Fifth Step in the ‘ADDIE’ Process – Evaluation – MarketScale

Posted: at 6:46 am


Welcome back to the Online Learning Minute at Marketscale. Today were focusing on the final step in the ADDIE process, the Evaluation phase. Once the course has run, we can begin evaluating how the course has performed and provide feedback on how the course can be improved in future iterations.

There are two parts of evaluation that happen throughout the ADDIE process, being summative and formative. While we evaluate the design of the course at each stage, we perform formative evaluations. At this stage, were using summative evaluation to examine assessment performance and user-feedback to determine if weve met all our goals we set in the analysis phase. We also use this stage to identify other opportunities for learning and for recommending changes for a continuous improvement.

As we conclude this series on the ADDIE process, I want to emphasize that this process is cyclical via continuous improvement and any opportunities we identify in the evaluation phase, we can bring back to the analysis phase. That was your Online Learning Minute at Marketscale. Tune in next episode where we talk about what makes a good Online Learning Video.
