Selection and organization of learning experienceNursing Path
Curriculum is the educational design of learning experiences for the students. Curricular experiences include course content as well as learning activities. The selection and organization of curricular experiences must also reflect the philosophy of the school. The identifying and organizing of curricular experiences begins with the analysis of curriculum objectives. The most commonly used approach in selecting learning experiences is the logical approach in which the process is treated as content in curriculum development.

Background
· Childhood/adolescent obesity affects millions with rates continuing to rise
· 43 million are affected by this debilitating problem.
· Individuals at greater risk are non-white subpopulation females with income below 130% poverty level.
· Higher educated individuals are at lessened risk than those with little or no education.
· Fast paced lifestyles contribute to growing number of obese children/adolescents
· Busy schedules encourage families to consume convenient fast food that is readily available with little nutritional value.
· Lifestyles require more than one household income which limits family meal times together.
· Instant and poor nutritional content of meals are prepared for the sake of time and convenience.
· Limited health education regarding food choices and physical activity add contributory factors to childhood obesity
· Physical activity time is limited due to busy testing schedules and school curriculum/demands for high testing performance among students.
· School vending typically has poor nutritional value, high sugar and fat content. Resistance to change in vending snacks from students and school staff may be added barriers for change.
· Funding is limited and lowers nutritional content that match up to what is recommended. Value enhanced food costs more than instant fast foods which require minimal or no preparation.
· Subpopulation Hispanic children/adolescents are at greatest risk for developing obesity
· Males represent 25.3% and females represent 21.8% of obesity.
· Cultural and economic factors contribute to high rates of consumption of high fat/starch/carbohydrate food content. These factors also lead to increased heart disease, hypertension and diabetes in this subpopulation.
Issues
· Type II Diabetes Mellitus and other chronic illness are increasing in youth
· Insulin Resistance, a precursor to Type II Diabetes, is increasing among youth, along with other chronic illnesses, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease.
· Increased preventative medical visits among youth, especially subpopulations, are risk factors that may lead to early death/morbidity in the new generations to come.
· Lack of health education, physical activity, and poor nutritional availability or poor choices aid in the epidemic of obesity in youth and subpopulations.
· Food is expensive, good nutritionally valued food is MORE expensive. Hard economic times place hardship on food choices made by families.
· Transportation is expensive and difficult for some to travel to farmer’s markets beyond walking distance. Perishable foods/or fresh fruits and vegetables require fr ...

Before you design any nutrition education intervention, whether it is a few sessions or a larger program with several components, it is important to determine your intervention focus and identify your intended primary audience. When those have been determined, you will need detailed information on the behaviors and practices that contribute to the issue or problem you have selected as your intervention focus. Step 1 worksheets will help you conduct assessments to obtain the information you will need.
Think of yourself as a detective as you work through these worksheets. You are trying to find out as much as you can to determine which core behaviors or behavioral goals will be the targets for your educational sessions.
The information you collect may be quite extensive, depending on the scope and duration of your intervention, and will vary by category. Cite information sources (e.g., journal article, government report, observation, interview) used in the worksheet in a bibliography at the end of this step.
At the end of the Step 1 worksheets, you should have products for Steps 1A, 1B, and 1C as follows:
Step 1A: Health issues or needs (one or two) and primary intended audience for the nutrition education intervention. Examples are “overweight in teenagers” or “low rates of breastfeeding in a low-income audience.”
Step 1B: High-priority behaviors contributing to the selected issues. A set of one to a few nutrition-related behaviors or community practices that contribute to the health issue(s) that you identified.
Step 1C: Statement of the program’s behavioral or action goals. The behavioral or action goals describe the purpose or behavioral outcomes for the program in terms of behaviors or community practices.
Use these worksheets as guides to help you identify program behavioral goals. Cite information sources in the text and add references to the bibliography at the end of the step. Electronic versions of these worksheets are available
at http://nutrition.jbpub.com/education/2e. If you are unable to access the worksheets electronically, you can write onto this blank worksheet or create a text document that uses the same flow of information.
Step 1A: Issues and intended audience
Describe the demographics of your audience (e.g., age, subgroup, and ethnicity) and the location of the site.
The Watts Healthcare Corporation is a non-profit organization, is where the Diabetes Education Program will be initiated. It is community based clinic that provides health services to low-income families in the community.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Exploring the Mindfulness Understanding Its Benefits.pptxMartaLoveguard
Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives.
Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being
Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life.
Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment.
Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.
Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices
Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness.
Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

a free conference call line
Instruction manuals are sent via email.
Support is provided via FB chat rooms

Depending on the number of participants in a given city, Serenity holds SPA
Day Retreats These reunion type conferences are great fun, because they
are typically when challengers meet the coaches and mentors for the first
time
Eligibility
Any adult over the age of 21, not wheel chair bound or under the care of
nursing home staff
Minimum Participant Requirements
An email address
Text capability
Email access on a smart phone
Time
The SERENITY CHALLENGE is actually 14 days; thus when a participant meets
the challenge, it is because they have released 10 lbs or more during the first 14
days. The overall program may be modified to 21 or 28 days to match the # of
days of a spiritual FAST.
Impact: Costs & Risks
After the initial installation of the program the wellness program should
continue, until weight loss goals start being realized. At this stage, momentum is
high. The church leadership or health ministry should leverage this excitement by
encouraging participants to continue. If one does not already exist, it is an
excellent time to establish a health ministry. The grant enables participants to
continue for just $1.00 per day. They feel good because they have access to a
private nutritional coach, a service not typically available to people of color.
Thus, the continuation schedule is as follows:
Registration $25.00 nonrefundable registration fee per person
Easy fee processing: @
https://www.paypal.me/serenityweightloss/25.00
90 days $90.00
60 days $60.00

Protection from risks:
We do not prescribe medication.
Participants are encouraged to get documentation of the program’s
effectiveness from their M.D, such as lowered blood pressure and blood
sugar. With the exception of insulin, participants stop medication upon the
advice of their MD only.
A 15 minute intake and medical screening is conducted with all participants,
prior to beginning the program. The following information is requested of
each prospective participant:
a) All current medications
b) All diagnosed medical conditions
c) Current weight, height, age and family medical history
d) Current bad food eating habits
e) The lab reports of all participants when available, is reviewed by, Michelle
Edmonds, program director for THE SERENITY CHALLENGE. However, due
to time constraints, this service cannot be provided when program
enrollment is less than 30 days
Impact: Benefits & Opportunities

Project Fit
The SERENITY CHALLENGE is an excellent companion to any church fast. We
provide support for a healthy, yet restrictive eating lifestyle during the fast,
paired with a structured colon and internal cleansing program, done in the
privacy of one’s home.
However, philosophically, we do not recommend total abstinence from food for
medical reasons. We understand that the definition of fast means to abstain, but
we disagree that abstain means to abstain from all mealsi
; it could also mean to
abstain from certain food items. We see great potential liability in this practice of
abstaining from meals for days or for extended periods of time each day. Many
individuals have undiagnosed medical problems, such as diabetes or they are
already an insulin dependent diabetic.
We support fasting that is rooted in ISA 58, however we do not teach
participants on fasting. During program implementation our role is one of
support to the spiritual leadership. We design a cleansing program, with an
eating lifestyle that supports what the church leadership is being led to do for
his/her congregants.
