The document discusses several animal welfare organizations in Summit County, Colorado. It describes the Animal Shelter, which has been in the county for over 30 years and charges $110 for dog adoptions and $90 for cat adoptions. Animal Rescue of the Rockies helps homeless pets find homes, having placed over 100 dogs and cats in five years. L.A.P.S. helps low-income families pay vet bills. The student group raised money through school stores and events to donate to these local organizations.
The document discusses updates to the district's efforts to ensure high academic achievement for all students. Key points include:
- Eliminating remedial classes and increasing access to advanced classes from grades 6-12
- Implementing an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) tool to help students plan course pathways
- Continuing professional development around differentiation, instructional coaching, and curriculum standards
- Next steps include applying a "body of evidence" to place students in advanced classes, articulating math and science standards, and ongoing communication about program changes
This document discusses HP's Customer-Centered Design Services (CCDS) and its role in product development processes. CCDS conducts user research and designs user interfaces to improve products and ensure they meet customer needs. The document provides two case studies, one on designing a complex application suite where CCDS helped define requirements and design through prototypes and testing, and a second on merging HP and Compaq support websites where CCDS validated designs and tested the final product. Both cases illustrate how CCDS incorporates user research throughout development to create products aligned with customer needs.
The document discusses a student project about connections between animals, humans, and habitats and how humans impact the environment. The students hypothesized that education could build empathy and encourage environmental action. They screened the movie Earth for 700 students and surveyed them before and after. The students found that the movie helped educate people and build empathy for environmental issues. Their research showed various impacts of climate change and humans' responsibility to address it through actions like recycling, reducing energy and water use, and carpooling.
This document outlines lessons learned from communicating during the 2009 H1N1 outbreak:
1. Assess communication plans and update based on what worked and didn't work, including IT systems and approval processes.
2. Connect and coordinate with response partners like hospitals, EMS, government, and media to build relationships before an emergency.
3. Ensure IT systems can support a flexible response and virtual/remote work, and allow collaborative work by communications teams.
4. Communicate quickly through multiple channels like websites, radio, and social media to keep up with the fast pace of information in a crisis.

Landmines are explosive devices left behind after wars that continue to injure and kill innocent civilians, especially children, long after conflicts end. They hamper post-war recovery and economic development in affected countries. Various types of landmines exist that are designed to maim or kill anyone who steps on them, and educating people about identifying and avoiding landmines is crucial to addressing this global humanitarian issue.

This is my personal philosophy presentation in relation to counselling and counselling studies for the NCFE Level 4 Diploma in Counselling. It maps my personal journey studying the integrative approach to counselling with doodles, metaphors and my own personal waffling.
John Upton has a great article on Grist.org around his take on the top 2013 environment stories. I thought I'd take the article and convert it into a presentation. He listed out 13 stories. Over the last few days, I converted each one into a few slides.
Here is the full presentation covering all 13 stories:
Tackling Pakistan's Education Crises by developing an EdTech Platform based on a pedagogy that combines Technology, Self-Learning and Project Based Learning. Khud means "self" in Urdu. More at http://khud.org.
Using lessons from the ages (Socrates, Montessori) as well as contemporary ones (Sugata Mitra, Elon Musk) - building a modern platform to give children from marginalized background a fighting chance.
