(Reriani Communications) --- Through a new partnership with Loans4Love, a socially responsible mortgage banking firm, the nationâs largest school-based after-school nonprofit organization, After-School All-Stars (ASAS), now provides the public and its supporters a new way to be philanthropic that combines the art of lending with the heart of giving. When prospective homeowners purchase or refinance a new or existing home loan with Loans4Love, they will be able to donate 25 percent of their 1 percent origination fee to ASAS, thereby helping to provide free after-school programs for at-risk youth.

âLoans4Love is a unique approach to giving,â said Teresa Chien, Director of Development of ASAS. âIn tough economic times, people still want to be charitable and this partnership allows them to do that while they complete something they were going to do anyway. Fifteen years ago, vehicle donation programs were a groundbreaking and successful way for people to give. We believe Loans4Love will be the next revolutionary option.â

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:00:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- Monterey College of Law, a California accredited law school located in Seaside, California is the first law school in the US to adopt the iPad as an integral part of the law school curriculum. Law students at Monterey College of Law returned from summer break to the exciting news that they are part of a unique pilot program that will provide iPads to each law student at the school. Through an innovative program developed by the law school with BAR BRI, the countryâs largest bar exam review company, each MCL law student receives an iPad when they enroll in the BAR BRI supplemental curriculum program that the students use while attending school and in preparation for the California Bar Exam.

âLaw schools are rarely found close to the leading edge of technology,â said Mitchel Winick, President and Dean of the law school. âHowever, it is clear to me that combining this technology with interactive, portable, timely content and harnessing the energy of on-line social networking provides a number of immediate educational opportunities.â This is particularly true for an evening law school like MCL that has a traditional classroom-based legal education program in which many students are balancing a full work and family schedule while attending law school.

(Reriani Communications) --- CNN predicts today (money.cnn.com/2010/08/16/news/international/japan_china/index.htm?hpt=T2) that China may reach the prominent status of being the 2nd largest economy in 2010, trailing behind the Unites States with a GDP of $5 trillion. It has been the goal of the Dallas Overseas Chinese School to equip each student with Chinese linguistics skills necessary to take advantage of this paradigm shift and to broaden his reach of clients, vendors, and friendships.

Over the past 16 years, the Dallas Overseas Chinese School has consistently lived up to the promise of teaching in a small classroom setting. There had not been more than 16 students per class; hence, each student has been well attended to. Their motto since 1994 is to Instruct and Inspire through Love and Wisdom, and their teachers echo that commitment by making themselves available outside of class hours to answer questions from parents or to provide additional homework guidance for their students. The Dallas Overseas Chinese School is one of the best Chinese schools in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in terms of student-teacher ratio and teacher commitment to quality education.

To be Successful, Students Need to Stop Studying

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:30:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- During his January 2009 confirmation hearings, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan called education âthe most pressing issue facing America,â and in September 2009 at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va. , U.S. President Obama called on students to assume responsibility for their own education, to âdevelop the talents, skills and intellectâ required to âhelp solve our most difficult problems.â Duncanâs statement and President Obamaâs directive reflect the growing awareness that the traditional â3Rsâ of education â reading, writing, and arithmetic â are not enough to hold 21st century students in good stead.

Obamaâs comments signal a shift toward encouraging students to take responsibility for their learning and away from placing that responsibility solely on parents and teachers. âItâs a shift thatâs long overdue,â says Professor Toni Krasnic, author of the newly released book Concise Learning, which focuses on helping students master self-directed learning and 21st century skills. Krasnic continues, âTeachers alone cannot âproduceâ learning and success in students. Students need to accept that, ultimately, they are responsible for their own learning and success, and that they must take steps to learn how to learn and develop the skills they need to thrive in todayâs complex world.â

ECELA Spanish Immersion Schools To Offer Financial Aid

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 12:00:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- ECELA Spanish schools announced today that financial aid will now be available to its students in Spanish immersion school programs in Argentina, Peru, and Chile. With this new aid program, ECELA hopes to counter rising education costs by making courses more affordable to a wide variety of participants.

Even without financial aid, students who study Spanish abroad in Latin America significantly reduce their costs over that of the typical university setting. For example, American in-state university tuition is typically $10,000 per year, or approximately $25 per class-hour, and much more for out-of-state or private schools. Costs for classes in ECELA's Spanish immersion schools, on the other hand, are about $7-$9 per hour. Additionally, the mini-groups at ECELA have 4-7 students each; in contrast to university classes, which typically often have more than 25 students.
