Our first thanks goes to our creative designer Leslie Eichner LeFranc, who took a huge mess of a manuscript and turned it into a beautifully designed book. We'd also like to thank Nancy Miller, who worked with Leslie's design and spent hours (and hours and hours) at the Mac expertly formatting the text, scanning art, and integrating the design to create the final draft. Without Leslie's and Nancy's dedication and skill, this book would not have been possible. We are especially grateful to the following colleagues who took the time to review the draft, discuss ideas, and offer comments about how to improve: Dr. Randy Champeau, Professor, Environmental Education, University of Wisconsin; Peggy Cowan, Education Specialist, Alaska Department of Education; Scott Eckert, Director of Interpretation, Dry Tortugas National Park, Dr. Sam Ham, Professor, School of Forestry, Wildlife, and Range Sciences, University of Idaho; Dr. Lou Iozzi, Dean of Science Education, Cook College, Rutgers University; Ed McCrea, Executive Director, North American Association for Environmental Education; Kathy McGlauflin, Vice President, Education, Project 6 Learning Tree; Dr. Martha Monroe, Environmental Education Consul- tant; Dr. Bill Stapp, Professor, Natural Resources, University of Michigan; Diane Wood, Vice-President, Latin American and the Caribbean, World Wildlife Fund. Special thanks go to Jody Marshall, Robin D. Grove, Meryl Hall, Alma Lowry, Sara Lustbader, Lori Mann, and Barbara Pitman, who reviewed various drafts and offered advice and support along the way. We'd also like to thank Dr. Mary Schleppegrell, former Education Specialist with the Office of Training and Program Support (OTAPS); Drew Burnett, Environmental Education Specialist, OTAPS; Therese Glowacki, Natural Resource Specialist, OTAPS; Kathy Rulon, Education Specialist, OTAPS; Barbara Ferris, WID Coordinator, OTAPS; Mary Jo Larson, Education Specialist, OTAPS; Pete Coursey, Program and Training Officer for the PACEM Region of Peace Corps; Paul Vitale, Urban Coordinator, OTAPS; and Ana Rosa Ortiz, Associate Peace Corps Director, Honduras. All offered great comments and support throughout the development of the manual. A very special thanks go to David Wolfe, Director of Peace Corps' Information and Collection Exchange (ICE), for his patience and support throughout the development of this manual and for his excellent editorial suggestions. We also appreciate everything Judy Benjamin and the other editorial experts on the ICE staff did to help get this manual printed. We'd also like to thank George Mahaffey, Manager of the Environment Sector, for his continuing support of environmental education activities around the world and for his commitment to maintaining high quality environmental programming in all regions. On a more personal note, David would like to thank Sidwell Friends School for supporting his international environmental education activities and providing so much guidance and on-going support. He would especially like to thank headmaster Earl Harrison, middle school principal Bob Williams, and teaching colleague Dan Bogan. And Judy would like to dedicate this book to the memory of her father, Harry Braus, who spent his life working for human rights, education, and everything the Peace Corps stands for. And fmally, we'd like to acknowledge all the Peace Corps Volunteers and country staff from around the world who helped us, directly and indirectly, by sharing their views on environmental education and for the work they continually do on behalf of the environment to help make the world a better place for all of us.

  • Guide for Implementation of Helping Babies Breathe®
    Guide for Implementation of Helping Babies Breathe® Strengthening neonatal resuscitation in sustainable programs of essential newborn care Guide for Implementation of Helping Babies Breathe® (HBB): Strengthening neonatal resuscitation in sustainable programs of essential newborn care. 2011. Elk Grove Village, IL: American Academy of Pediatrics Helping Babies Breathe® (HBB) aims to help meet Millennium Development Goal 4 targets for reduction of child mortality by addressing one of the most important causes of neonatal death: intrapartum-related events (birth asphyxia). HBB is an evidence-based educational program which teaches the simple steps that effectively resuscitate the majority of infants not breathing at birth. Helping Babies Breathe is designed to coordinate with other interventions in a package selected to improve neonatal and maternal health. HBB can be used as the resuscitation component in courses teaching Essential Newborn Care (WHO) and courses in midwifery skills. HBB can be used at all levels in the health system. It extends resuscitation training to first-level health facilities and health workers in resource-limited settings, where these skills are most lacking. It also can be used in higher-level health facilities, including tertiary facilities, where it complements, but does not replace, comprehensive resuscitation programs such as the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). Both HBB and NRP teach the same first steps in resuscitation, but NRP also includes the use of supplemental oxygen, chest compressions, intubation, and medications. HBB uses a learner-centered educational methodology with emphasis on mastery of key skills. Pictorial, color-coded print materials and a low-cost, high-fidelity neonatal simulator engage learners and empower them to continue learning in the workplace.

The latest 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is not only recorded in China, but also globally. This research is an account of the online teaching paradigm assumed in the teaching method by most of universities in China and subsequent tests over the course. It looks forward to offering resources rich in knowledge for future academic decision-making in any adversity. The aim of this research paper is to explain the prerequisites for online education and teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and how to effectively turn formal education into online education through the use of virtual classrooms and other main online instruments in an ever-changing educational setting by leveraging existing educational tools.

  • 5.0-6.0 the Lost Gate Card, Orson Scott 5.8 Danny North Knew From
    5.0-6.0 The Lost Gate Card, Orson Scott 5.8 Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different, and that he was different from them. While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an outself. He grew up in the rambling old house, filled with dozens of cousins, and aunts and uncles, all ruled by his father. Their home was isolated in the mountains of western Virginia, far from town, far from schools, far from other people. There are many secrets in the House, and many rules that Danny must follow. There is a secret library with only a few dozen books, and none of them in English — but Danny and his cousins are expected to become fluent in the language of the books. While Danny's cousins are free to create magic whenever they like, they must never do it where outsiders might see. Unfortunately, there are some secrets kept from Danny as well. And that will lead to disaster for the North family. The Gate Thief Card, Orson Scott 5.3 In this sequel to The Lost Gate, bestselling author Orson Scott Card continues his fantastic tale of the Mages of Westil who live in exile on Earth in The Gate Thief, a novel of the Mither Mages. Here on Earth, Danny North is still in high school, yet he holds in his heart and mind all the stolen outselves of thirteen centuries of gatemages.

  • Challenging Hidden Assumptions in Language Teaching
    LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network Journal, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2019 Challenging Hidden Assumptions in Language Teaching Vivian Cook Newcastle University, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract Much language teaching still depends on assumptions established in the nineteenth century, namely the priority of speech over writing, the maximal use of the target language in the classroom, the rejection of explicit explanation of grammar and the use of the native speaker as the role model for the student. None of these assumptions are supported by contemporary view of second language acquisition: written language has its own characteristics and functions; however much the first language is banned, it is still active in the students’ minds; grammar is a central component of language learning, whether explicit or otherwise; students should aim to be successful second language users, not imitation of native speakers. The assumptions need then to be re-examined in the light of current ideas of second language learning. Keywords: Language Teaching, Hidden Assumptions, Second Language Learning Introduction This paper is the latest version of an argument that I have been trying to develop for some time (for example Cook 1999, 2003, 2010), namely that certain ideas put forward in the late nineteenth century still have a covert influence on much of what goes on in language teaching classrooms. The debate about language teaching methods such as the communicative approach, task-based learning and post-method lack of method (Kumaravadivelu, 2006) seldom deals with these all pervasive underlying ideas and so these aspects of language teaching never change.

The books you read will be used in your English class during the first few weeks of the first trimester. As you read, we urge you to remember that the art of reading is a creative act, a collaboration between reader and writer. Hold a dialogue with these books: question, argue, disagree; underline those passages that exhilarate you as well as those that infuriate you. Keep a notebook to jot down your imme- diate responses to each of these works and write questions that you want to discuss in your English classes. Encourage your family and friends to join you in these reading experiences. A number of the books on this list have been made into movies, many of them wonderful in their own right. Seeing a movie instead of reading the book, however, will not prepare you for your teacher’s assignment related to that book, nor will it replace the unique experience of interacting with a specific text.

  • Comparing Traditional Teaching Method and Experiential Teaching Method Using Experimental Research
    Journal of Education and Educational Developement Article Comparing Traditional Teaching Method and Experiential Teaching Method using Experimental Research Farhan Uddin Raja Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology, Pakistan [email protected] Dr. Najmonnisa Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology, Pakistan [email protected] Abstract The modern time is shaping a world of opportunities that has glorified the role and functions of multinational organizations across the globe. An individual has become a global citizen, who explores employment opportunities in different countries of the world. This has signified the importance of interpersonal skills that allow individuals to connect with people from different cultures. As a result, the role of business communication instructors has become vital because they impart the skills of communication among their students. For this, instructors’ sensitivity towards the teaching methods used in classrooms are of prime significance. These methods determine the interest level and motivation of students towards learning and acquisition of communication skills. Therefore, this study aims to compare experiential learning method and traditional learning method to explore which method inculcates and improves the communication skills of business administration students of a private sector university. The study was conducted in a quantitative paradigm using an experimental research design. The sample size comprised 60 BBA students from two different sections of business communication courses. The data were collected using a pretest and posttest. For the pretest, communication skills were imparted to both the groups using the traditional teaching method that heavily employed lecturing. For the posttest, the controlled group was taught using the same traditional teaching method while the treatment group was taught using the experiential learning method.
