School districts, colleges and universities across the country strive to provide for students' needs - needs that are complicated by shifts in enrollment, developments in technology, ever-changing methods of instruction, community-use issues and aging school buildings.
As state governments continue to struggle with budget issues, the availability of funding for all types of educational facilities is often limited, requiring schools to make the most of every construction dollar spent. The growing awareness of environmental concerns has fostered a greater interest in "green" or sustainable school design, and the fact that schools and communities taking greater advantage of opportunities to share space, is making it necessary for those who plan, design and build these facilities to be more flexible and creative in their designs.
Higher education is also faced with issues like increased competition from for-profit institutions, student housing shortages and the need for their facilities to be part of the strategy used to recruit and retain students.
Schools, colleges and universities are being constructed at record pace in response to both a growing student population and the need to accommodate changes to the educational program. Building more flexible facilities is not enough -- we must also build better facilities.
Good designs don't just happen; they are based on research and best practice. To help fill that need for information on what makes a "good" school, School Planning & Management and College Planning & Management have established the Education Design Showcase. It is designed to be a vehicle for sharing innovative, yet practical, solutions in planning, design and construction. The goal: to share ideas that will help us achieve the best possible learning environments for all students at all levels of education.

On November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill making Martin Luther King Day a federal holiday as of January 20, 1986. As a result of this bill, Americans commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday on the third Monday in January. Few Americans are aware of the history of Martin Luther King Day and the long battle to convince Congress to establish this holiday in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Congressman John Conyers, an African-American Democrat from Michigan, spearheaded the movement to establish a MLK day. Representative Conyers worked in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and was elected to Congress in 1964, where he championed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Four days after King's assassination in 1968, Conyers introduced a bill that would make January 15 a federal holiday in King's honor. But Congress was unmoved by Conyers' entreaties, and though he kept reviving the bill, it kept failing in Congress.
In 1970, Conyers convinced New York's governor and New York City's mayor to commemorate King's birthday, a move that the city of St. Louis emulated in 1971. Other localities followed, but it was not until the 1980s that Congress acted on Conyers' bill. By this time, the congressman had enlisted the help of popular singer Stevie Wonder, who released the song "Happy Birthday" for King in 1981, and Conyers had organized marches in support of the holiday-in 1982 and 1983, respectively.
Conyers was finally successful when he reintroduced the bill in 1983. But even in 1983 support was not unanimous. In the House of Representatives, William Dannemeyer, a Republican from California, led the opposition to the bill, arguing that it was too expensive to create a federal holiday and estimating that it would cost the federal government $225 million annually in lost productivity. Reagan's administration concurred with Dannemeyer's arguments, but the House passed the bill with a vote of 338 for and 90 against.
When the bill reached the Senate, the arguments opposing the bill were less grounded in economics and more reliant on outright racism. Senator Jesse Helms, a Democrat from North Carolina, held a filibuster against the bill and demanded the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) make public its files on King, asserting that King was a Communist who did not deserve the honor of a holiday. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had investigated King throughout the late 1950s and 1960s at the behest of its chief, J. Edgar Hoover, and had even tried intimidation tactics against King, sending the civil rights leader a note in 1965 that suggested he kill himself to avoid embarrassing personal revelations hitting the media.
King, of course, was not a Communist and had broken no federal laws, but by challenging the status quo, King and the Civil Rights Movement discomfited the Washington establishment. Charges of Communism were a popular way to discredit people who dared speak truth to power during the 50s and 60s, and King's opponents made liberal use of that tactic.
When Helms tried to revive that tactic, Reagan defended him. A reporter asked Reagan about the charge of Communist against King, and Reagan said that Americans would find out in around 35 years, referring to the length of time before any material the FBI gathers on a subject could be released. Reagan later apologized, and a federal judge blocked the release of King's FBI files.
Conservatives in the Senate tried to change the name of the bill to "National Civil Rights Day" as well, but they failed to do so. The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 78 for and 22 against. Reagan capitulated, signing the bill into law.
King's wife, Coretta Scott King, chaired the commission responsible for creating the first celebration of King's birthday in 1986. Though she was disappointed at not receiving more support from Reagan's administration, the result was over a week of commemorations beginning on January 11, 1986, and lasting until the holiday itself on January 20. Events were held in cities like Atlanta and Washington, D.C., and included a tribute at the Georgia State Capitol and the dedication of a bust of Dr. King at the U.S. Capitol.
Some Southern states protested the new holiday by including Confederate commemorations on the same day, but by the 1990s the holiday had become established everywhere in the United States.
Reagan's proclamation of the holiday on January 18, 1986, explained the reason for the holiday: "This year marks the first observance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a national holiday. It is a time for rejoicing and reflecting. We rejoice because, in his short life, Dr. King, by his preaching, his example, and his leadership, helped to move us closer to the ideals on which America was founded. . . . He challenged us to make real the promise of America as a land of freedom, equality, opportunity, and brotherhood."
It required a long 15-year fight, but Conyers and his supporters successfully won King national recognition for his service to country and humanity.

Hello job seekers out there. Every year and year, the Nigeria unemployment rate keeps on going higher and higher as fresh graduates passes out from their various institutions of higher learning only to be met with a long queue of their senior ones who have earlier passed out from the various universities and polytechnics and are yet still unemployed, as there are few jobs to go round the vast unemployed population in the country.
The situation has become pathetic as year after year, job seekers and applicants are left with nothing to do than to roam about the streets looking for jobs that are not available. Their case is also worsen as most of them are not employable by potential employers of labour, this may be due to their lack of core technical knowledge about their discipline or poor result.
The Nigerian government is also concerned about the ugly trend as she is already setting up machinery, legislatures and agencies to look into the situation and try to reduce the high unemployment rate. This can be seen through the national poverty eradication programme (napep) and the national directorate of employment (nde) that are both into reducing unemployment by introducing unemployed youths into self employment through the small and medium scale enterprises.
We hope that in the nearest future, hopefully by the year 2020 (vision 2020), Nigeria's high unemployment rate would have been greatly reduced. Until then, jobs seekers, keep on the struggle, that dream job you desire you definitely come your way, god willing.

With the current, highly competitive job market today, there are many points to understand when searching job vacancies. Becoming educated yourself about how to read, analyze and move forward on a help wanted ad, will take you above the crowd in your search, and help you avoid pitfalls which eat up time, energy, money and focus.
The internet is an extremely helpful tool, if you know how to use it, for research on everything from position details to relocation questions and company details to career change information. Before you begin, develop a list of keywords related to the search you are doing. You will save time when sitting in front of the computer ready to go, instead of drumming your fingers in frustration, trying to think of something to put in the search box.
Be wary of and do extensive investigation on job vacancies you feel inspired to follow up on. There are many unscrupulous cons on the web and it is certain you will come across fictitious vacancy announcements. There are also companies that post false ads which require you to pay a fee for something, hoping to make money from you, at a time when you most need to save. Sure, there are reputable head hunting agencies that are valuable and appropriate for some fields. As a general rule, it should not cost you money to find a job.
It is fairly easy to weed out the websites and job postings that sound promising. Be a secret shopper and make hundreds, or the ones that are submitted for every city or country possible. Some overseas positions offer a lot of things like housing and medical insurance, but not airfare. There have been many trusting people who have flown halfway around the world, only to find out the whole thing was a scam.
When you apply for a job online, which is now the predominately expected form of previewing and application processing, the human connection is seriously impeded, so being very aware of how you present yourself in your cover letter, is one of the most important things to remember. Since you are not meeting face-to-face, this is what your potential employer will first see. Be brief, be honest, and be available. Spending time crafting two or three cover letters that can become templates for future use, will significantly save time, and allows you the ability to move efficiently if the perfect job becomes available.
The job market is burgeoning with promises, real and fake, which can make your search in job vacancies much more difficult, if you are not aware of the drawbacks that can sap your personal power and take away vital time from your life. Be a smart job applicant and do your homework before you actively begin the application process.

Students more often than not need to take up part time vacancies or part time work to raise their own pocket money or to become more financially independent from their parents or sponsors. Some students would work during the days when they do not have classes to attend while others would prefer to work in the evenings, during the weekends or in the night.
Employers most certainly desire the best for their firms and companies. This will drive them to watch out for people with previous work experience. They will be looking for people who have not only studied, but also have proven their development in communication, problem solving, organisation, IT and even planning skills etc. Hence in addition to being paid for work and becoming financially better, the working student is building good grounds for future employment.
Being realistic about how much one can and can not do is very important. It is much better to know where you stand and understand what you are getting into than to hope that you can make it. It is the responsibility of employers to make their work place easily accessible by disabled persons. If your employer has never before employed a physically disabled person, there may be several barriers to effect employer/employee relations and this may in turn make work difficult. There is room for gradual education of both parties. It is always helpful to hope fir the best but plan for the worst. Do not leave things to chance and hope it sorts itself, because it usually doesn't happen.
There are several ways to search for part time vacancies. Some ways one can find part time vacancies include:
Create a Curriculum Vitae (CV) targeting the sectors where you are interested to find work vacancies.
Visiting the school's careers service and request helpful information.
Speak with course-mates, tutors and lecturers about part time vacancies in and around the university or college environment.
Go out and contact employers for yourself.
You may take up voluntary part time work and sometimes it makes easier for one to spot and obtain paid work vacancies.
Never forget to speak with friends, relatives and acquaintances, because they you may receive very useful information form them.
Remember that though it is beneficial to take up part time vacancies, you also need to create time for studies and school work. Make sure you do not bite more than you can chew. Do what you are able to manage effectively. You will need enough energy and time for your studies and social life.

Employers most certainly desire the best for their firms and companies. This will drive them to watch out for people with previous work experience. They will be looking for people who have not only studied, but also have proven their development in communication, problem solving, organisation, IT and even planning skills etc. Hence in addition to being paid for work and becoming financially better, the working student is building good grounds for future employment.
Being realistic about how much one can and can not do is very important. It is much better to know where you stand and understand what you are getting into than to hope that you can make it. It is the responsibility of employers to make their work place easily accessible by disabled persons. If your employer has never before employed a physically disabled person, there may be several barriers to effect employer/employee relations and this may in turn make work difficult. There is room for gradual education of both parties. It is always helpful to hope fir the best but plan for the worst. Do not leave things to chance and hope it sorts itself, because it usually doesn't happen.
There are several ways to search for part time vacancies. Some ways one can find part time vacancies include:
Create a Curriculum Vitae (CV) targeting the sectors where you are interested to find work vacancies.
Visiting the school's careers service and request helpful information.
Speak with course-mates, tutors and lecturers about part time vacancies in and around the university or college environment.
Go out and contact employers for yourself.
You may take up voluntary part time work and sometimes it makes easier for one to spot and obtain paid work vacancies.
Never forget to speak with friends, relatives and acquaintances, because they you may receive very useful information form them.
Remember that though it is beneficial to take up part time vacancies, you also need to create time for studies and school work. Make sure you do not bite more than you can chew. Do what you are able to manage effectively. You will need enough energy and time for your studies and social life.
Ambition often gets a bad rap. It's associated with a great goal that is achieved after much sacrifice and many trade-offs. For working moms in particular, ambition can be a loaded concept.
We can all think of examples of so-called ambitious people who reached the top of their field but gave up something to get there. Perhaps they had no children; maybe they experienced a divorce or lost their good health on the way to their goal.
But ambition doesn't have to be a negative. In fact, if managed consciously, ambition can be a working mother's greatest asset. When you are proactive in your professional and personal development, you become the boss of your own career (and life) - and that's a position with a lot of perks.
Here are five strategies to help you advance your career in a way that is satisfying and meaningful without losing your mind, your family or your health.
1. Define ambition
Write your own definition of ambition. What does it mean specifically to you? Explore your fears around reaching for what you "really" want. Are you afraid you'll lose your family to your work? Alternatively, if you want to work less to be with your family more, do you worry that you'll miss out on a great promotion? Can your ambition ebb and flow with the changing tides of your family life? Finish this statement: Ambition for me means ...
2. Align your goals
Establish goals and strategies that will allow you to live the life you want. Get clear on what is important to you and align your professional goals with your strengths, your interests, and the age/stage(s) of your children. For instance, to advance your career, you may need to further your education. Consider what will be the best time to incorporate studies into family life, keeping in mind that online learning offers great flexibility. By being strategic about your goals and dreams, you can help to make them your reality.
3. Consider personal priorities when making important decisions
Each of us has our own beliefs on what really matters in life. And what matters most can shift with passing time. Whether it is you, your family or your career advancement, there isn't a right or a wrong answer. There is just what makes the most sense in that moment. If you want your career and life going in the right direction, always take your personal priorities into consideration when you have a decision to make. Ask yourself, "Will this enhance what is important in my life right now?"
4. Leverage your skills and become an expert
Know your unique talents and skills (what you naturally excel at and what people tell you you are good at), then create a plan that leverages your talents. Discover and focus on your strengths rather than your weaknesses, so your skills become specialized and valued in the marketplace. If you're a great organizer, go organize. Whether you're a strategic thinker, a creative wiz or a patient teacher, do what comes easily and naturally. Position yourself accordingly and you will become the go-to person in your field.
5. Be confident
Marrying your ambition with your family life can mean you choose to turn your career volume up and down. Believing in you through this process is crucial. If you don't, no one else will. Self-confidence is key to getting what you want. Pay attention to any doubts or doubters and stay away from thoughts or people who weaken your confidence. Choose to surround yourself with ideas and people that support and encourage you to reach your dream.
Who said "ambition" had to be a dirty word? How you feel about ambition will change over time. So it's important to keep checking in and making adjustments, as your family situation changes. And remember, you are the boss of you. Enjoy being in charge of your life and career.

There's one thing that puzzles me and I am going to write it down here. If you're a high-flying career woman, you'll dress in a suit and look the part of a corporate panther in order to give people the impression of a successful career woman. What happens is you're to give someone the impression that you're a successful mother? Mother, according to the strict definition in the dictionary, is also a career. Motherhood, if strictly defined, is a career choice. Therefore, if a mother is to be dressed for success, how should she dress herself up?
This is something I've pondered over for quite a long time and now, I am ready to answer you.
For a mother to dress for success, she would have to fulfill only one criterion. But it's something subjective - the mother would have to dress in a way that makes her feel happy and confident. The mother would have to dress in a way that makes her feel like herself. When a mother dresses and expresses herself in a way that makes herself feel most comfortable, she emits a kind of 'comfortable' and 'contented' aura and that makes her look, sound, act and behave in a very motherly way. A calm and collected demeanor.
Ask the people around you about how they think a mother should DRESS FOR SUCCESS and you'll get a puzzled look. When a mother dresses in a way that enables her to express herself and remain true to herself, then she can and will be a good mother. A mother should dress in a way that distinguishes herself as a separate entity from her children and husband. She should dress in a way that says, "Hey, I am a mother but I am still me".
While this is true for everyone in this world, regardless of whether you're a woman or a man, mother or a father, this rule is more important for a mother because her status as a mother is not as significantly recognized in the society. People tend to regard a CEO higher than they would a Mother. Have you ever seen people print as follows?

No? Neither have I. Come to think of it, perhaps we should!
Therefore, take pride in being a mother and dress in a way that helps you express yourself as you. You'll, inevitably, become a better mother.
