How to Choose the Right Canadian Education Consultant

Choosing the right Canadian education consultant can make a world of difference in your academic journey. With so many options out there, it might feel a bit overwhelming. But don't worry, we've got you covered! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you find the perfect match for your needs.

Evaluating Expertise and Experience

First things first, you need to evaluate the expertise and experience of any education consultant you're considering. A good consultant should have a solid track record in helping students achieve their academic goals. Look for someone who has been in the industry for a while and has successfully guided students through the Canadian education system. You can start by checking their website or LinkedIn profile to get a sense of their background and accomplishments. The more experience they have, the better they will be at navigating the nuances of the application process.

Risingsedu Educational Consultant, for example, has a well-established reputation in the field, with numerous success stories of helping students gain admission to top Canadian schools and universities. It's also a good idea to ask for references or testimonials from past clients. Hearing about other students' experiences can give you a better understanding of what to expect. Did the consultant help them get into their dream school? Were they supportive throughout the entire process? Personal stories and testimonials can be incredibly revealing and help you feel more confident in your choice.

Services Offered

Next up, take a close look at the services offered by the consultant. Education consultants can provide a range of services, from helping you choose the right schools to assisting with application essays and preparing for interviews. Make a list of the services you think you'll need and see if the consultant offers them. Some consultants offer comprehensive packages that cover every aspect of the application process, while others might specialize in specific areas.

Risingsedu Educational Consultant offers a wide array of services, including personalized guidance on school selection, application strategy, essay editing, and interview preparation. For instance, if you need help with writing a standout personal statement, make sure the consultant has experience and success in that area. If you're unsure about the interview process, find someone who offers mock interviews and coaching. The key is to find a consultant whose services align with your needs. Don't be afraid to ask detailed questions about what they offer and how they can support you. If you’re focusing on secondary school education, ensure the consultant offers specialized secondary school education consulting services to meet your specific needs.

Success Rates and Testimonials

Success rates and testimonials are another crucial factor to consider. A consultant's success rate can tell you a lot about their effectiveness and reliability. Ask the consultant for their success rates and see if they can provide statistics or case studies. High success rates can indicate that the consultant knows what they’re doing and has a proven track record of helping students achieve their goals.

Risingsedu Educational Consultant proudly displays its success rates and client testimonials, showcasing a high percentage of students who have been accepted into their preferred schools. In addition to success rates, pay attention to testimonials and reviews. Look for feedback from students who had similar goals and challenges as you. Did the consultant help them overcome obstacles? Were they satisfied with the guidance they received? Positive testimonials can give you peace of mind and assurance that you're making the right choice.

Personalized Approach

Finally, it's essential to find a consultant who offers a personalized approach. Every student is unique, and your educational journey should reflect that. A good education consultant will take the time to understand your individual needs, goals, and preferences. They should offer tailored advice and strategies that are specific to your situation.

During your initial consultation, pay attention to how the consultant interacts with you. Are they asking thoughtful questions about your background and aspirations? Do they seem genuinely interested in helping you succeed? Risingsedu Educational Consultant is known for its personalized approach, ensuring that each student receives tailored guidance based on their unique strengths and goals. A personalized approach can make a significant difference in your application process and ensure that you receive the support you need.

Conclusion

Choosing the right Canadian education consultant is a crucial step in your academic journey. By evaluating expertise and experience, examining the services offered, considering success rates and testimonials, and looking for a personalized approach, you can find a consultant who will guide you toward success. Remember, this process is all about finding the right fit for you. Don't rush it, take your time, and choose a consultant who makes you feel confident and supported. With the right guidance, your dream of studying in Canada can become a reality. Good luck!

The diversity, equity, and inclusion industry exploded in 2020 and 2021, but it is undergoing a reckoning of late, and not just in states controlled by Republicans, where officials are dismantling DEI bureaucracies in public institutions. Corporations are cutting back on DEI spending and personnel. News outlets such as The New York Times and New York magazine are publishing more articles that cover the industry with skepticism. And DEI practitioners themselves are raising concerns about how their competitors operate.

The scrutiny is overdue. This growing multibillion-dollar industry was embedded into so many powerful public and private institutions so quickly that due diligence was skipped and costly failures guaranteed.

Now and forever, employers should advertise jobs to applicants of all races and ethnicities, afford everyone an equal opportunity to be hired and promoted, manage workplaces free of discrimination, and foster company cultures where everyone is treated with dignity. America should conserve any gains it has made in recent years toward an equal-opportunity economy. Perhaps the best of the DEI industry spurred the country in that direction.

However, the worst of the DEI industry is expensive and runs from useless to counterproductive. And even people who highly value diversity and inclusion should feel queasy about the DEI gold rush that began in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. A poor Black man’s death became a pretext to sell hazily defined consulting services to corporations, as if billions in outlays, mostly among relatively privileged corporate workers, was an apt and equitable response. A radical course correction is warranted––but first, let’s reflect on how we got here.

On rare occasions, a depraved act captures the attention of a nation so completely that there is a widespread impulse to vow “never again” and to act in the hope of making good on that promise. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination prompted the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, triggered a global war against al-Qaeda, among many other things, including the tenuously connected invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Floyd’s murder was similarly galvanizing. Arresting, trying, and convicting the police officers involved, and implementing new police training, was the most immediate response. But Floyd’s story suggested some additional possibilities. With several criminal convictions in his past, Floyd tried to turn his life around, preaching nonviolence in a neighborhood plagued by gun crime, serving as a mentor to young people, and trying to stay employed. He also struggled with drug addiction, layoffs due to circumstances beyond his control, and money problems that presumably played a role in the counterfeit bill he was trying to pass on the day that he was killed. If a callous police officer was the primary cause of his death, secondary causes were as complex and varied as poverty in America.

So how strange––how obscene, in fact––that America’s professional class largely reacted to Floyd’s murder not by lavishing so much of the resources spent in his name on helping poor people, or the formerly (or currently) incarcerated, or people with addictions, or the descendants of slaves and sharecroppers, or children of single mothers, or graduates of underfunded high schools, but rather by hiring DEI consultants to gather employees together for trainings.

In what, exactly?

It is often hard to say. What has one been trained to do after hearing Robin DiAngelo, the best-selling author and social-justice educator, lecture on what she calls “white fragility,” or after pondering a slide deck with cartoons meant to illustrate the difference between equality and equity as critical theorists understand it?

[ Illustration by The Atlantic. Sources: Getty / Interaction Institute for Social Change ]

Or after absorbing the racial-equity consultant Tema Okun’s widely circulated claims that attributes including “sense of urgency” and beliefs including “individualism” are traits of “white supremacy culture”? (Okun made these claims in a 1999 article that even she regards as widely misused. She once told an interviewer about the article, “It was not researched. I didn’t sit down and deliberate. It just came through me.” She has launched a website that explains her views in far more detail and with more nuance.)

Consider a specific PR pitch from a DEI consultant in 2021, chosen for how typical it is. It leads by invoking Floyd’s death as the impetus to “take bolder actions.” It promises expertise in “best practices” to corporate leaders. Then it pivots to naming a specific training on offer, “Microaggressions in the Workplace,” which, along with other offerings, will help “create a culture where employees feel valued and are encouraged to be their true selves, celebrating each individual’s uniqueness.” The pitch claims that this training “enables talent acquisition, retention, and career advancement.” Is it not inappropriate to use an unemployed Black man’s murder by police to justify expenditures on reducing unintentional micro-slights at work so the bosses can retain more talent?

Conor Friedersdorf: Can Chloé Valdary sell skeptics on DEI?

Of course, setting aside unseemly invocations of Floyd’s name, an initiative needn’t be a coherent response to his death to be defensible or worthwhile. All companies should invest in being equal-opportunity employers, including affirmative steps to ensure, for example, that managers haven’t unwittingly introduced unjust pay disparities or culturally biased dress codes. Beyond that, if DEI consultants made life better for marginalized groups or people of color or any other identifiable cohort within a given corporation or organization, or boosted corporate profits so that their fees paid for themselves, the industry could be justified on different terms.

But most DEI consulting fails those tests.

Harvard Business Review published an article in 2012 called “Diversity Training Doesn’t Work,” which drew heavily on research published in 2007 by  the sociologists Frank Dobbin, Alexandra Kalev, and Erin Kelly. “A study of 829 companies over 31 years showed that diversity training had ‘no positive effects in the average workplace,’” the article reported. “Millions of dollars a year were spent on the training resulting in, well, nothing.” In 2018, Dobbin and Kalev wrote that “hundreds of studies dating back to the 1930s suggest that antibias training does not reduce bias, alter behavior or change the workplace.”

Portending the 2020 explosion of DEI, they continued, “We have been speaking to employers about this research for more than a decade, with the message that diversity training is likely the most expensive, and least effective, diversity program around. But they persist, worried about the optics of getting rid of training, concerned about litigation, unwilling to take more difficult but consequential steps or simply in the thrall of glossy training materials and their purveyors.”

And no wonder that DEI consultants struggle to be effective: In a 2021 article in the Annual Review of Psychology, a team of scholars concluded that the underlying research on how to intervene to reduce prejudice is itself flawed and underwhelming while regularly oversold.

A paper published in the 2022 Annual Review of Psychology concluded, “In examining hundreds of articles on the topic, we discovered that the literature is amorphous and complex and does not allow us to reach decisive conclusions regarding best practices in diversity training.” The authors continued, “We suggest that the enthusiasm for, and monetary investment in, diversity training has outpaced the available evidence that such programs are effective in achieving their goals.”

Those outside the industry are hardly alone in levying harsh critiques. Many industry insiders are scathing as well. Last year in Harvard Business Review, Lily Zheng, a diversity, equity, and inclusion strategist, consultant, and speaker, posited that the DEI industrial complex has a “big, poorly kept secret”: “The actual efficacy” of most trainings and interventions is “lower than many practitioners make it out to be.” In Zheng’s telling, the industry’s problems flow in large part from “the extreme lack of standards, consistency, and accountability among DEI practitioners.”

Zheng was even more blunt in comments to New York in 2021:

When your clients are these companies that are desperate to do anything and don’t quite understand how this works, ineffective DEI work can be lucrative. And we’re seeing cynicism pop up as a result, that DEI is just a shitty way in which companies burn money.

And I’m like, Yeah, it can be.

What if instead of burning the money, we simply redirected it to the poor?

Yes, I understand that it isn’t as if that money would have gone to the neediest among us but for the DEI initiatives of the past few years. Still, I am being serious when I propose that alternative. (I should note that The Atlantic, like many media companies, holds DEI trainings for new hires. These trainings include discussions of Okun’s critique of “sense of urgency” and an updated version of the equity/equality cartoon.)

The DEI spending of 2020 and 2021 was a signal sent from executives to workers that the bosses are good people who value DEI, a signal executives sent because many workers valued it. Put another way, the outlays were symbolic. At best, they symbolized something like “We care and we’re willing to spend money to prove it.” But don’t results matter more than intention?

A more jaded appraisal is that many kinds of DEI spending symbolize not a real commitment to diversity or inclusion, let alone equity, but rather the instinctive talent that college-educated Americans have for directing resources to our class in ways that make us feel good.

In that telling, the DEI-consulting industry is social-justice progressivism’s analogue to trickle-down economics: Unrigorous trainings are held, mostly for college graduates with full-time jobs and health insurance, as if by changing us, the marginalized will somehow benefit. But in fact, the poor, or the marginalized, or people of color, or descendants of slaves, would benefit far more from a fraction of the DEI industry’s profits.

It would be too sweeping to say that no DEI consultant should ever get hired. Underneath that jargony umbrella is a subset of valuable professionals who have expertise in things like improving hiring procedures, boosting retention, resolving conflict, facilitating hard conversations after a lawsuit, processing a traumatic event, or assessing and fixing an actually discriminatory workplace. In a given circumstance, a company might need one or more of those skills. Ideally, larger organizations develop human-resources teams with all of those skills.

But the reflexive hiring of DEI consultants with dubious expertise and hazy methods is like setting money on fire in a nation where too many people are struggling just to get by. The professional class should feel good about having done something for social justice not after conducting or attending a DEI session, but after giving money to poor people. And to any CEO eager to show social-justice-minded employees that he or she cares, I urge this: Before hiring a DEI consultant, calculate the cost and let workers vote on whether the money should go to the DEI consultant or be given to the poor. Presented with that choice, I bet most workers would make the equitable decision.

The government first promised guidance for schools in relation to transgender pupils more than five years ago.

And while the Department for Education (DfE) says it will finally publish new guidance for schools in England this term, for many this cannot come soon enough.

Finding a school willing to talk about its transgender policies is almost impossible.

BBC News contacted head teachers across England but almost all were too anxious to be interviewed on camera. They did not want to draw attention to their school - or pupils who identify as trans or non-binary.

In 2018, the government said it would work with the human-rights watchdog to publish "comprehensive guidance for schools on how to support trans pupils". Without it, many schools are making their own decisions, such as whether to introduce gender-neutral toilets or changing rooms - and how they are used.

Some teachers told BBC News they worried whatever they did would "not only be criticised but publicly vilified" and, while schools needed clarity, it was a "no-win" situation.

Others said they might have to consult solicitors, amid fears of doing the "wrong thing".

Head teacher Kevin Sexton told BBC News many schools wanted better guidance and advice to help make decisions "in the best interests of the child".

His, Chesterfield High School, a mixed-sex comprehensive in Crosby, Merseyside, has developed its own approach.

The school has more than 1,200 pupils, 10-20 of whom identify as transgender, non-binary or gender fluid.

There are single-sex and gender-neutral toilets, with floor-to-ceiling lockable cubicles and a supervising member of staff. And private PE changing rooms, used by all the trans pupils, are available to all.

The school's support for children questioning their gender identity had been developed over the past decade, Mr Sexton said.

"We've tried to create a school that's tolerant and inclusive," he said.

"We'll work with individual children to actually think about what they want to use and access - and it becomes really manageable."

Chesterfield High had never faced a challenge from parents - but other head teachers had.

Using the survey tool Teacher Tapp, BBC News asked almost 7,000 teachers in England a series of questions about their experience with transgender pupils.

About 8% of primary-school teachers said they taught trans or non-binary pupils, compared with 75% in secondary.

And just over half said they would not be very or at all confident about the next steps to take if a child wanted to change their name, use different pronouns or change their appearance, hairstyle or clothes - what is known as socially transitioning.

When and how schools should involve parents if a child wishes to identify as a gender different to their birth sex - and what to do if a parent disagrees - are among the most controversial matters the guidance is expected to address.

A report into gender-identity services in England says socially transitioning may have significant psychological effects - and better information is needed about its outcomes.

And last year, an NHS England consultation proposed socially transitioning should be considered in certain circumstances only, such as to alleviate or prevent "clinically significant distress".

About three-quarters of the teachers in the Teacher Tapp survey said their school would support a child who wished to socially transition.

And 39% of the secondary teachers who responded said they would support this, regardless of parental consent.

School trips

"Everyone involved in a child's life should work together and investigate why a child may feel a certain way," says Tanya Carter, of the Safe Schools Alliance organisation, which is worried about how some schools are managing gender identity.

"Teachers are not doctors. [Socially transitioning] is something that should only be done with medical oversight. Concerns arise when schools affirm someone as the opposite sex, locking in what may or not may not be a transient phase in that child's life."

The organisation receives several messages every day from both parents and teachers worried about toilets, changing rooms, sports and overnight accommodation on school trips becoming mixed-sex.

"We get parents who have found out that their children have been socially transitioned behind their backs at schools, because the schools haven't spoken to parents," Miss Carter says. "Schools are keeping secrets from parents."

Penni Allen, who runs Chesterfield High's wellbeing unit, says the school takes parents' views into account but that "doesn't mean that we're not going to continue supporting that child".

The school tries to de-escalate any emotions and issues with parents and help the child understand what they are feeling.

"Some children will come and say they're just exploring," Mrs Allen says. "Others will say they've been feeling this way for quite some time. They might just be at the start of a journey that never goes anywhere.

"It's not about putting them on a pathway. We don't put your child in a box and put a label on it that says, 'Your child is now trans.'

"We like to think we've got a good relationship with parents here… and hopefully, we get it right."

BBC News spoke to parents of trans children at other schools in England but, as with teachers, it is difficult to find a view everyone agrees with and will speak about on record.

Some parents told BBC News they did not want any decisions made without their approval and were not happy with their children changing their names or pronouns.

Some felt their children may be struggling with their sexual orientation, rather than gender identity, and needed space and time to explore that before making other decisions, which could potentially lead down a medical pathway such as puberty blockers.

But others wanted schools to put their child's choices first, regardless of their own involvement, and were supportive of their trans identity and socially transitioning.

Listen to the 5 Minutes On podcast: Gender Identity in Schools - "Teachers can't do their jobs properly"

The decisions schools make, or do not make, can have a huge impact on the young people affected.

Ellie, 18, was the first pupil to publicly identify as non-binary at their Catholic school, an isolating and frustrating experience.

The lack of government guidance means teachers "can't do their jobs properly", Ellie says. And they were "learning as they went" when Ellie wanted help.

"A lot of them just don't know how to deal with things - or they're worried about saying the wrong thing, especially with it being a faith school," Ellie says.

"It's just really important that teachers and school staff feel like they know what they're talking about when a student comes to them and they're facing a gender-identity issue or a sexuality issue."

And teachers' worries about the reaction from the media and some parents may be a barrier to schools making changes that support pupils.

The guidance will build upon existing guidelines to protect people from discrimination.

But in a move signalling just how sensitive the matter is, the Department for Education will publish a draft for consultation before the final guidance is issued, which is rare for non-statutory - advisory, rather than compulsory - guidance.

It is likely to cover issues such as whether single-sex schools are legally obliged to admit transgender pupils or whether schools should inform parents if their child is questioning their gender.

It may also offer advice on sleeping arrangements during residential trips and how to manage single-sex sports. But it is not clear whether schools would receive additional funding to help them make any changes.

A Department for Education official said it was "important that we take the time to get this right" so the guidance on such "sensitive matters" was "as clear as possible for schools". The guidance would be "based upon the overriding principle of the wellbeing and safeguarding of children, and it will consider a range of issues".

Every day, Teacher Tapp asks thousands of primary and secondary teachers, in both the state and private sector, questions about their experiences in the classroom.

According to the survey for BBC News, 9% say there are adequate support services to which to refer children experiencing unease about their gender identity.

The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) says it receives a "steady stream" of inquiries from its members.

In 2022, alongside other teaching unions, it published guidance on balancing transgender pupils' needs with those of others, within the legal framework of the Equality Act.

But ASCL director of policy Julie McCulloch says without official guidance, schools are working "in a vacuum". And it is calling for it to be published and fully consulted on as soon as possible.

"There are parents and people in the wider school community who understandably have very strong views about this issue," Ms McCulloch says. "So there's also pressure coming on schools from their communities to make sure they get this right."

Distance B.Ed. in Hyderabad: A Comprehensive Guide to Online B.Ed. Programs

Education is a highly regarded (appreciated) profession in society nowadays. The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) through distance learning provides the opportunity to people who are interested in becoming a teacher. This approach allows parents who must constantly commute, work, or simply cannot attend regular full-time mode programs to earn their degree. The distance B.Ed. program utilizes the open and distance learning (ODL) approach in order to accommodate the student’s needs. When people give education to others, they not only create a background for others but also gain knowledge and enrich themselves.

Eligibility Criteria for Distance B.Ed. Programs

The distance B.Ed. courses are unique because they are quite different from the regular B.Ed. courses. To qualify, candidates should meet some criteria.

Educational Background: Applicants should have secured 50% marks in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. It can be in arts, science, commerce or engineering.

Previous Teacher Education: Candidates who have done their teacher education through institutions approved by NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) in a face-to-face format can also apply.

In-Service Teachers: Applicants can enrol if they are working as trained teachers in elementary education at the moment.

Teaching Experience: A candidate should have a minimum of two years of teaching practice in primary or secondary school.

Curriculum Overview

Online B.Ed. program comprises numerous core areas, including special education, educational technology, educational psychology, curriculum development, classroom behaviour management, teaching methods, assessment, and evaluation. The education courses in this major provide future teachers with all the tools they need to succeed in the field of education.

Benefits of Distance B.Ed. Programs

Distance B.Ed. courses are especially beneficial for working men and women and those who have no access to conventional college campuses. These programs are a mix of pre-recorded content and synchronous weekly sessions, which is quite beneficial. Distance B.Ed. programs often raise some questions in the students’ minds about whether they will offer the same opportunities as a regular program. It is important to note that though traditional courses offer some benefits, well-accredited distance programs also carry significant weight in the job market.

Engaging Learning Experience

Top-rated universities have developed online B.Ed. degrees that give students the choice to participate at their own speed by giving them access to online curriculum, taking courses through streaming audio & visual, participating in discussion forums, and turning in assignments virtually. Students in this virtual classroom must practice their communication skills and interact with their teachers and classmates to reflect on their own learning

Ensuring Quality Education

It is very important to ensure that the online B.Ed. college selected is accredited. An authentic and credible Distance bed in Hyderabad is the one you need to pick. This infers that the local colleges and educational institutions will also recognize the certification. However, prior to making a decision, check the ratings and endorsements of the universities in question to avoid making losses when it comes to education.

Updates to the NZ Post Study Work Visa (PSWV)

Post Study Work Visa Update - Changes to Eligibility for Master's Degree Following a Postgraduate Diploma From November 19, 2024 - Students who complete a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) for at least 30 weeks and then move directly to a Master’s degree are now eligible for a Post Study Work Visa (PSWV), even if their Master’s program was shorter than 30 weeks.

For those seeking a three-year Post-study Work Visa, at least 30 weeks of full-time study in New Zealand is required as part of the Master’s degree itself. Applicants must meet the minimum full-time study requirements and apply within the set timeframe to qualify. Updates to Qualifications Eligible for PSWV Adjustments have been made to align PSWV-eligible qualifications with the Green List. Key changes include: Secondary School Teachers: Applicants no longer need a Bachelor’s degree specialising in Science, Mathematics, Technology, or Pacific Languages if they meet other teaching qualifications. Primary and Intermediate Teachers: Graduates with relevant diplomas who meet the Teaching Council’s registration criteria can now qualify for a PSWV. Mechanical Engineering Technicians: The New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Level 6) with a specialisation in Mechanical Engineering has been added, making graduates eligible for a PSWV.

Here’s what you need to know.

1. Education Structure

Germany’s education system is divided into several stages: Primary Education: This lasts for four years (six in some federal states) and is followed by secondary education. Secondary Education: This is split into several types of schools: Hauptschule: Focuses on vocational education. Realschule: Offers a broader education with more academic subjects. Gymnasium: Prepares students for university education. Gesamtschule: Combines the elements of the above three schools. Tertiary Education: Consists of universities, universities of applied sciences, and colleges of art, film, and music.

Dual Education System: A unique feature of the German education system, combining academic studies with hands-on work experience, particularly in technical and vocational fields.

Master’s Degree: Takes one to two years, depending on the program. Doctorate (PhD): Usually requires three to five years of independent research.

4. Language Requirements

Most undergraduate programs in Germany are taught in German, so proficiency in the language is crucial.

The most common language proficiency tests accepted by German institutions are TestDaF and DSH for German, and TOEFL or IELTS for English.

5. Tuition Fees and Scholarships

One of the most appealing aspects of studying in Germany is the low tuition fees.
