Witt Committee Members, Corliss Outley Manda Rosser Head of Department, David Scott May 2008 Major Subject: Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences iii ABSTRACT Fostering Youth Engagement: A Model of Youth Voice, Empowerment, and Participation. (May 2008) Karen Kimberly Maynard, B.S., University of South Alabama Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Peter A. Witt Youth-adult partnerships are collaborations between adults and youth in the decision-making and planning processes. When adults enable youth to be a part of the decision-making and planning processes, youth voice, empowerment, and participation become important tools for facilitating engagement. Better understanding these processes can be beneficial for practitioners and programmers. Incorporating these tools increases support and opportunity for youth developmental benefits and increases program retention rates. This thesis focuses on better understanding the relationship between youth voice, empowerment, and participation and critical factors in developing youth engagement and utilizing the power of adult-youth partnerships in youth development.

  • Hinsdale Elementary School- Physical Education Philosophy
    Hinsdale Elementary School Physical Education Philosophy Hinsdale Elementary School’s physical education program provides a variety of learning experiences by offering a variety of age-appropriate activities, as well as teaching children health and wellness topics. The goal of the program is to reach each student’s optimum physical, mental, emotional, and social development. National Standards (NASPE) and State of New Hampshire Curriculum Guidelines are used in developing the physical education program, and are organized by the learning domains: psychomotor (motor skills, health- related fitness), cognitive (knowledge), and affective (dispositions). Physical Education is a vital part of the school curriculum, as active bodies equal stimulated minds. Regular participation in physical activity is paramount for children, in order to avoid the health-related diseases that are associated with inactive and sedentary lives. It is the goal of the physical education department, as well as other health- related disciplines, that children develop the skills and knowledge to become, and then remain, healthy members of society. Physical Education (Grades K-12) Hinsdale School District Curriculum Guideline 1: Engages in a physically active lifestyle Grade Level Performance Indicators Assessment Delivered By / Resources Sample Activities K-2 Participates in daily physical Visual Observation PE Teacher Soccer activities that promote healthy lifestyles based on personal Parent Testimony Family Volleyball abilities and interests Question and Answer In-School

In addition, Honors and Highest Honors recognition has been modified for the graduating class of 2022 due to restricted course offerings in the previous year. Honors recognition will be awarded to any student with a 3.6 to 3.79 GPA. Highest Honors recognition will be awarded to any student with a GPA of 3.8 and higher, regardless of courses taken. Valedictorian and Salutatorian with be awarded to the highest and second highest GPA respectively. Only students earning a standard Oregon Diploma will be considered for Honors recognitions.
