    LEARN TO LEAD ACTIVITY GUIDE CIVIL AIR PATROL CADET PROGRAMS TEAM LEADERSHIP PROBLEMS MOVIE LEARNING GUIDES GROUP DISCUSSION GUIDES Preface LEARN TO LEAD ACTIVITY GUIDE Do you learn best by reading? By listening to a lecture? By watching someone at work? If you’re like most people, you prefer to learn by doing. That is the idea behind the Learn to Lead Activity Guide. Inside this guide, you will find: • Hands-on, experiential learning opportunities • Case studies, games, movies, and puzzles that test cadets’ ability to solve problems and communicate in a team environment • Recipe-like lesson plans that identify the objective of each activity, explain how to execute the activity, and outline the main teaching points • Lesson plans are easy to understand yet detailed enough for a cadet officer or NCO to lead, under senior member guidance The Activity Guide includes the following: • 24 team leadership problems — Geared to cadets in Phase I of the Cadet Program, each team leadership problem lesson plan is activity- focused and addresses one of the following themes: icebreakers, teamwork fundamentals, problem solving, communication skills, conflict resolution, or leadership styles. Each lesson plan includes step-by-step instructions on how to lead the activity, plus discussion questions for a debriefing phase in which cadets summarize the lessons learned. • 6 movie learning guides — Through an arrangement with TeachWithMovies.com, the Guide includes six movie learning guides that relate to one or more leadership traits of Learn to Lead: character, core values, communication skills, or problem solving. Each guide includes discussion questions for a debriefing phase in which cadets summarize the lessons learned.

  • Michael Warren Powellis
    WELCOME to the Fifteenth Annual Last Frontier Theatre Conference. We at Prince William Sound Community College are very proud of this event, and hopefully by the end of the week you will see why. I started coming to Valdez (for the Conference) in 1995, its third year, and it became an annual pilgrimage for me. I quit jobs to make it here. I ran up credit cards. I did whatever it took for me to get to spend the week here. I crashed on the floor at the college, survived off the food at receptions, and worked on whatever anyone asked me to. No one was more important to me in those early years than Michael Warren Powell, the first coordinator of the Play Lab. I remember being in awe of how insightful the responding panel was critiquing plays that were all (in my opinion) pretty problematic. Michael and the other panelists became my idols. Which made it all the more important to me when one day I was hanging out with friends at the picnic tables in the middle of the park strip and we saw Michael walking our direction. He came up and engaged us in conversation, and we became friends. He let us know that he considered us his peers. In the late 90s, I decided that, of all the people I had met, there was no one whose life I wanted to emulate more than Michael’s. I made producing new work and nurturing playwrights my focus, and the answer to most of my questions can be found in the answer to the question “What would Michael do?” I am very excited to have him back with us this year.

While Lent is often a time for action – fasting, praying, service, a new spiritual practice, the longed for fruit of our forty day journey is a deepening of relationship, a turning and returning. This poem fragment by Joyce Rupp captures this for me: The cosmos dreams in me while I wait in stillness, ready to lean a little further into the heart of the Holy May we each lean a little further into the heart of the Holy. Blessings on the journey, Lynn 226th Annual Meeting of the Vermont Conference REGISTRATION OPEN!!! Find all the details and register HERE!! We absolutely cannot wait to see you!

  • Strategic Plan 2016 – 2021
    Strategic Plan 2016 – 2021 1 Ability to Meet the Mission Acknowledging the accomplishments and agility of Academy of Art University since its founding in 1929, the Strategic Plan envisions where we will take art and design education in the next five years. The Plan articulates the steps we must take to ensure the very best experience for our students, who are at the heart of the institution in the short, medium and long term. Origins President Stephens launched the Strategic Planning Initiative in spring 2015. Throughout the academic year, input was solicited from constituent groups across campus. » Academic Department Directors » Faculty » Board of Directors » Senior Management Team » Students The recommendations in Academy of Art University’s Strategic Plan 2016 – 2021 represent the culmination of feedback from these constituencies. The Strategic Plan was crafted in late fall 2015 by the Strategic Planning Task Force, led by President Elisa Stephens and Chairman of the Board of Directors Dr. Nancy Houston. Key Academy of Art University leaders in the areas of education, finance, operations and technology participated on the Task Force. Implementation and Review The Strategic Plan will be shared with the constituent groups at Academy of Art University that created it, and with the WASC Senior College & University Commission (WSCUC) and Academy of Art University’s other institutional and programmatic accreditors. Individual strategic goals will be assigned to managers and existing or ad hoc work teams, as appropriate to best execute individual strategic goals. Progress on implementing the plan will be reviewed quarterly as part of the President’s Report to the Board of Directors and also as part of Senior Management Team Meetings and Academic Department Director Meetings.

  • Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

Shapiro Published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers Contents Invitation to the Fire vii Prologue At the Fireside: The New Elder ix Introduction The Four Flames of Vital Aging 1 Chapter 1 The Flame of Identity: Recalling Our Stories 13 Chapter 2 The Flame of Community: Refinding Our Place 47 Chapter 3 The Flame of Passion: Renewing Our Calling 67 Chapter 4 The Flame of Meaning: Reclaiming Our Purpose 103 Epilogue Keeping the Fire Alive 127 Notes 141 Index 143 About the Authors 151 v Chapter 1 The Flame of Identity Recalling Our Stories New Elder Richard Strozzi Heckler u At an age when most of his contemporaries were wonder- ing what to do with themselves after retirement,Richard Strozzi Heckler embarked on a new and exciting journey uncommon to men at any stage of life. The words of the Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung seemed to have been written just for him: “Wholly unpre- pared,we embark upon the second half of life ...we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still,we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as before.But we cannot live the afternoons of life according to the program of life’s morning—for what was great in the morning will be little in the evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.” We cannot tell if we have entered the second half of life solely by counting the candles on our birthday cake.

Unleashing young people’s creativity and innovation European good practice projects Martine Reicherts Director-General for Education and Culture European Commission Foreword This brochure contains inspiring initiatives, practices and tools, including the EU projects, that showcase how youth work and non-formal learning can enhance young people’s creativity and innovation, through their experimental nature, participatory approaches, and peer-learning, and how this can help them to find their place in the labour market - and in life. It is the result of peer learning in an expert group which was looking into constructive response to challenges faced by many young people in Europe. At present, 13,7 million 15-29 year-olds are not in employment, education or training. And many of those who gain employment find that the reality of the job falls well below their ambitions and vision. Reliable pathways through education and training to quality employment are often lacking.
