Careers in natural resources initiative - Lisa Eadens, Colorado Alliance for ...rshimoda2014
There is great concern over who will protect, maintain and enhance our natural resources in the future. Currently, outdoor play time for kids is minimal, especially for children living in urban areas, while kids’ average “screen time” exceeds 40 hours a week. By some accounts, as many as 50% of state and federal land managers are retirement-eligible within the next five years. However, because a generation or more of children has not had a close and ongoing relationship with the outdoors, state and federal natural resource agencies are having difficulty recruiting employees who have the necessary skills, experience, education, and emotional connection to the outdoors to take over the management of public lands. Simultaneously, agencies not only need skilled candidates, they need candidates that represent the changing demographics of the state.
The Careers in Natural Resources Initiative aims to help youth make the leap from participation in an outdoor program to a sustainable career through three strategies that address different audiences along a spectrum from awareness to action.
Support Career Exploration – Most youth lack understanding of career opportunities in natural resources. To promote these opportunities and foster interest in natural resource careers, partners participated in 8th grade career fairs throughout the region and are planning a Careers in Natural Resource Experience this spring.
Develop Online Jobs Portal – Working with our partners, an online web portal that provides a single springboard to help organize and access needed information, job postings, and resources around natural resource careers was launched in the fall of 2013.
Create Career Guide – Publication of a Guide to Natural Resources Career Paths aimed at entry-level candidates is underway. The Guide will provide step-by-step assistance for youth interested in natural resource careers regarding how to apply and navigate state and federal job listings and application processes.

This study investigated the cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies used by Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) learners at different proficiency levels. The study found that more proficient readers at higher levels engaged in more global processing like making inferences, while less proficient readers focused on local comprehension. At level 2, proficient readers used context better and had more tolerance for unknown words. At level 3, proficient readers understood text organization better. At level 4, proficient readers monitored comprehension bidirectionally using text-driven and knowledge-driven strategies. The findings suggest CFL textbooks and instruction should develop strategies appropriate for each proficiency level.

"If your plan is for one year, plant rice.
If your plan is for ten years, plant trees.
If your plan is for one hundred years, educate children."
Confucius
The mission of the Globaissance Learning Community is to provide world-class
educational opportunities that promote global perspectives and renaissance
thinking in a multilingual environment. We define renaissance thinking as an
integrated appreciation of the Arts and Sciences applied for transformative
purposes. At the heart of the Globaissance Learning Community is a Chinese
immersion elementary school (grades K-6) designed to meet the needs of a
diverse group of intellectually curious learners ready for an in-depth, accelerated
curriculum. Supporting the elementary school is a vibrant community of lifelong
learners. Our international campus serves as an asset to our local community and
model for other communities.
14. Mission, Vision, Values
Sample Vision (www.globaissance.org)
"A human being is a part of the whole called by us ‘universe’.…Our task must be
to free ourselves …by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Albert Einstein
The Globaissance Learning Community envisions a world in which education
provides a compass for lifelong learning that guides students to think creatively,
critically, and cross-culturally in order to nurture individual growth, promote social
justice, and protect the planet. A Globaissance education empowers students to
become active global citizens, enabled by knowledge and driven by innovation.
15. Mission, Vision, Values
Sample Educational Values (www.globaissance.org)
"Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses--especially
learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else."
Leonardo da Vinci
We prioritize elementary education. Elementary education plays a fundamental role in shaping the lives of individuals and the nature of
society, laying the foundation for future attainment.
We are advocates for academically talented students. We implement Individualized Learning Plans, coordinating a complete slate of
appropriately-paced, in-depth learning opportunities to meet the needs of students who desire cognitive challenges and peers with whom
to share these challenges.
We champion the outstanding educator, whose success stems from combining artful instruction with extensive knowledge. We uphold the
highest standards of teacher selection and continuous professional development while creating a supportive, collaborative school culture.
We believe that high quality educational experiences are transformative. They are crafted for the individual with the hope of guiding the
student through the process of self-actualization and crafted for society with the hope of making it a better place.
We value renaissance thinking. On the individual level, it feeds a student’s curiosity and imagination. On the societal level, it addresses the
critical issues of the day, such as sustainability, universal human rights, and environmental stewardship.
We strive to teach by example. Community-based initiatives include a Green Campus and Service Learning.
We are passionate about providing students the gift of multiple languages. Research shows that this gift strengthens not only global
communication skills, but also cognitive development.

“Why are we so passionate about nonprofit information?
Because the best possible decisions are made when
donors, funders, researchers, educators, professional
service providers, governing agencies, and the media use
the quality information that we provide. Those decisions
affect our world today and will continue to affect it for
generations to come.”
Established in 1956 and today supported by close to 550
foundations, the Foundation Center is the leading source
of information about philanthropy worldwide. Through
data, analysis, and training, it connects people who want
to change the world to the resources they need to
succeed.
