The document summarizes the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in Environmental and Occupational Health offered by the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Colorado School of Public Health. The program focuses on preventing environmental and occupational disease through education, research, and community outreach. Students learn about environmental and occupational hazards, exposure assessment, and interventions to improve health. The 42-credit degree includes required core public health courses and environmental health concentration courses in topics like toxicology, epidemiology, and risk assessment. Graduates work in diverse settings to protect public health from biological, chemical and physical hazards.
As an Environmental Health Scientist, you will be on the front lines of safeguarding public health and conserving our world. Consider a world in which the air is pure, the water is pure, and the environment is safe for everyone. This is the world you will work to build. You will be able to conduct research, devise solutions, and put policies in place to reduce environmental dangers and preserve human health. The effort may be difficult, but the benefits are enormous. Every day, you will make a visible impact in people's lives and the health of our world. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should pursue a career in environmental health sciences.

phc-112 health education and promotion / please i need the answer very quickl
Introduction
The focus this week is the role of research in health promotion. We will consider the four phases
of research in the design of health promotions programs. These are: preliminary research,
program development research, monitoring, and evaluation. Preliminary research focuses on
diagnosis of the existing situation, the environmental and behavioral causes of health problems
and the determinants of these causes. Program development research facilitates the development
of programs and action plans. Monitoring aims to examine the ways in which programs are
implemented, including the processes of participation and collaboration, in order to keep track of
and/or improve the program. Evaluation involves a review of the results achieved in the program
in terms of its effectiveness, efficiency and validity.
We will also consider the types and styles of research. Types of research include qualitative and
quantitative. Some common research styles discussed in your textbook include experimental,
survey, documentary-historical, and field study. During a group project this week, you will have
an opportunity to conduct preliminary research to identify behavioral and environmental factors
contributing to a health problem.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. The Department of Environmental and Occupational Health in the Colorado School of Public Health focuses on preventing
environmental and occupational health related disease and promoting health through our education, research and
professional and community service. Our programs prepare students to contemplate the causes and consequences
of chemical contamination and poorly designed environments on human health and the ways in which public health
professionals can intervene to improve the environment whether at home, in the workplace or the broader community.
From air pollution and hazardous waste to risk assessment and injury prevention to policy and healthy community design,
the Department offers courses and curriculum to meet students’ diverse environmental and occupational interests.
The Department offers a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in Environmental and Occupational Health at both the
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Colorado State University (CSU). The Department also is home to
the Occupational & Environmental Medicine Residency Program.

workplace safety, exposure science, risk assessment,
epidemiology and, more broadly, the built environment,
urban planning and worker health and wellness. To
be successful in an MPH program in environmental
and occupational health, applicants should have a
background in health or natural sciences with a science
GPA of 3.0 or better. Previous coursework in chemistry,
