Editor's Notes

  • #7 Assessment, the emphasis is on observation of WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW. Evaluation, by contrast, involves comparing PRESENT UNDERSTANDING to DESIRED OUTCOMES.
  • #13 Metacognition is awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes.  The Work and Meaning Inventory (WAMI) assesses three core components of meaningful work: the degree to which people find their work to have significance and purpose, the contribution work makes to finding broader meaning in life, and the desire and means for one’s work to make a positive contribution to the greater good.
  • #16 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over.
  • #22 SWOT. Conference questions are recommended questions for audience e.g. recommended questions for parents/teachers.
