Hospice and palliative tweetchat transcript 2010 08 25Christian Sinclair
This document contains tweets from a TweetChat discussion about whether hospice organizations should have blogs and what they should write about. Some key points discussed include:
- Blogs from hospice organizations could help introduce more people to hospice care and show that hospice provides comfortable deaths.
- To stay HIPAA compliant, blogs would need to avoid sharing patient identifiers and personal experiences, and instead generalize situations and share stories with permission.
- Suggestions for what hospice blogs could write about include explaining services, sharing staff and family stories/testimonials, and helping put a human face on hospice for the outside world.
A reflective practitioner considers the consequences of educational decisions and constantly refines their teaching to improve student learning. Reflection involves considering what worked and didn't during and after lessons to inform future planning. Key areas for reflection include the learning environment, educational dilemmas that have no single answer, and the decision-making process used. The goal is to foster reflection, not determine answers, and tools like conceptual frameworks can help move between practice, reflection, and improved practice. Students learn best through hands-on activities, visuals, stories and contexts familiar to them. Themes and short attention spans should be considered when planning lessons.

The Learning Environment as a
Teaching Tool
CDEV 108
M. Moen
Describe an early school experience.
What do you remember most about the classroom
environment?
How did the environment affect your learning?
What was /were your favorite materials and/or
experiences when you were a child?
How will this information influence your teaching? Do
you have that material and/or experience in your
classroom?
What is environment?
Environment is anything that surrounds us and
exerts an influence over us. It consists of space,
furnishings, time and organizing elements.
How we arrange and furnish space sends
children messages about how the space should
be used.
Almost any space can be arranged to provide an
excellent experience for young children.
Intentional
gathering
spaces
We need to create warm,
homelike environments that:
Create a sense of security
Create excitement
Provoke a sense of wonder
Encourage ACTIVE LEARNING!
Reggio documentation panels
are an important part of their
environment
Guidelines for establishing an
aesthetic environment
Consider the ways in which these elements will enrich the children’s
perceptions:
Floor and walls
Color and texture
Work surfaces
Storage items
Displays
Art prints
Art artifacts
Books
Nature objects
Children’s artwork
Details
Rather than decorating walls with “cutsie”
type of cutouts from the teacher supply store,
consider decorating with items that have
character and make it feel more like “home.”
Be sure your environment
displays photos of the
children.
Using wood (versus plastic) furniture warms the environment.
Be sure to provide a
cubby for each child in
your classroom.
The Learning Environment in
Early Childhood Education
The Learning Environment is a powerful
teaching tool
Materials & images used should reflect the
children, their families, cultures, and community
Environment should be carefully and
specifically designed for early childhood
Space
The space should be a safe, workable, even charming.
Equipment
Refers to the furniture and other large, expensive items such as art easels, climbing
structures, etc.)
Materials
Refers to smaller, less expensive items such as puzzles and books)
Supplies
Supplies are consumables such as paint, paper, glue, tape.
Time
Children need time to explore the environment!
Components of the Learning Environment
Adequate space
Plan enough space for children to move form
one area of the environment to another and
work comfortably.
Younger children need more space than older
ones
Traffic pattern
Think about how the children will move around in
the room.
Some questions you might want to ask yourself:
Is there enough room for children to gather around
something interesting?
How many children can work in an area at a time
How .

3) The school emphasizes student choice and involvement through challenge-based learning, publishing student work, and shifting control to empower students.
This document outlines a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) science lesson plan about the water cycle for young learners. It uses an inquiry-based approach with four stages: 1) Tuning in with an experiment to introduce vocabulary and concepts, 2) Finding out by matching images and definitions, 3) Sorting out through a jigsaw activity to organize concepts, and 4) Reflection with role playing the water cycle. The goal is to teach students about the water cycle in English through hands-on activities that engage both language and content learning.
Tesol 2014 Presentation: Scaffolding for SuccessCarla Huck
This document provides an overview of scaffolding strategies to support English language learners' access to content area curriculum. It discusses the use of verbal, procedural, and instructional scaffolds. Specific scaffolding techniques are explained, such as think-alouds, graphic organizers, cooperative learning groups, manipulatives, and modeling. Sample activities demonstrate how to implement strategies like THIEVES, GIST, and conga lines in the classroom. The objectives are to help educators identify effective teaching methods that support both content and language learning.
This document outlines a 12-lesson plan to teach students about the impact humans are having on Earth. The plan uses an inquiry-based "Five E's" approach of engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. Lessons cover topics like water, pollution, recycling, deforestation, climate change, and raising awareness. Formative and self-assessments are built into the lessons. The overarching goals are for students to understand our effect on the planet and ways to influence positive change.
From novice to expert: A critical evaluation of direct instructionChristian Bokhove
Direct instruction is a hot topic in school, but discussions about it often end up with people talking past each other, as the term can mean several things. In this talk I will look at different ways of conceptualising 'direct instruction', for example as scripted Direct Instruction (in capitals) from the seminal Project Follow Through, lecturing and more interactive teaching like Rosenshine's 'explicit instruction' and 'active learning'. I will also highlight strengths and limitations of their respective evidence bases. I will frame these more generally as a 'guidance dilemma': what amount of guidance do we use in teaching and learning in learners' journey from novice towards more expert. I will finish with some concrete recommendations.

Behavioral Psychology On Recycling Presentation For Arizona Recycling CoalitionDenette
1. The document discusses different strategies for promoting recycling behavior, including the use of pledges, financial incentives, convenient infrastructure, and signage.
2. Social norms are an important factor, and messages should emphasize the positive social aspects of recycling rather than negative messages.
3. A holistic approach is most effective, creating an environment that supports individual attitudes and motivations through social and policy measures. Clear instructions and convenient access can increase participation.
The document summarizes a student project aimed at raising awareness about recycling among Year 2 students at Raffles Institution in Singapore. The team conducted surveys of 158 Year 2 students to understand why recycling rates were low and identify solutions. Their action week involved creating posters, a Facebook page, and recycling boxes in classrooms to make recycling more convenient and incentivize students. The team reviewed literature on the impacts of low recycling rates and potential solutions. They implemented awareness campaigns during their action week and planned to assess the effectiveness of their solutions.
The document proposes a debate activity for an English class consisting of 6 steps: students research and debate controversial topics in groups, write argumentative essays, provide feedback, and the best essays are published in a school magazine. The activity aims to make debates more realistic and engaging for students by setting them up like a TV talk show with groups for and against issues, using video recordings, and publishing student work. It is suggested this type of debate activity would improve students' language and critical thinking skills through an integrated approach.
The document describes how O'Neill Public School in Nebraska implemented a 1:1 device program and 24/7 digital learning opportunities to empower students, break down barriers, and cultivate a culture of pride. The school provided students with choice in devices and learning, challenged them with real-world problems through challenge-based learning, and leveraged various technologies to publish student work and connect their learning community.

Each animal tried to cheer up the bear with their unique features, but he just wanted peace and quiet.

By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
