46 THE INTENTIONAL TEACHER
ExCHANgE JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2009
The heated debate over child-initiated versus adult-
directed instruction may be cooling down, replaced by
a search for balance. In the landmark report Eager to
Learn, the National Research Council (2000)
emphasized the need for both approaches, and said
teachers must play an active and intentional role in
each type of learning:
“Children need opportunities to initiate activities and
follow their interests, but teachers are not passive
during these [child]-initiated and directed activities.
Similarly, children should be actively engaged and
responsive during teacher-initiated and -directed
activities. Good teachers help support the child’s
learning in both types of activities” (pp. 8-9).
While most of us claim to act with ‘intention’ in our
dealings with young children, it is worth pausing to
reflect on what this term means. In The Intentional
Teacher, the author of this article says, “intentional
teaching means teachers act with specific outcomes
or goals in mind for children’s development and
learning. Teachers must know when to use a given
strategy to accommodate the different ways that
individual children learn and the specific content they
are learning” (Epstein, 2007, p. 1).
How do we know which strategy to use? As a general
rule, in child-guided learning, teachers provide
materials but children make connections on their own
or through interactions w ...

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
2. Teaching English to Children
Children are active learners and thinkers.
(Piaget, 1970)
Children's natural ability to acquire new
languages is strong before adolescence.
Five categories may help give some practical
approaches to teach children.
3. Intellectual Development
Don’t explain grammar using terms like
“present progressive” or “relative clause.”
Some grammatical concepts, especially at the
upper levels of childhood, can be called to
learner’s attention by showing them certain
patterns.
4. Attention Span
Children are focused on the immediate here
and now, activities should be designed to
capture their immediate interest.
A lesson needs a variety of activities to keep
interest and attention alive.
A sense of humor will go along way to keep
children laughing and learning.
5. Sensory input
Pepper your lessons with physical activity,
such as having students act out things (role-
play, games, etc).
Projects and other hands-on activities go a
long way toward helping children to internalize
language.
Sensory aids here and there help children to
internalize concepts.
6. Affective Factors
Help your students to laugh with each other at
various mistakes that they all make.
Be patient and supportive to build self-esteem,
yet the same time be firm in your expectations
of students.
Elicit as much or participation as possible from
students, especially the quieter ones, to give
them plenty of opportunities for trying things
out.
7. Authentic, Meaningful
Language
Children are good at sensing language that is
not authentic.
Language needs to be firmly context
embedded. Context-reduced language in
abstract, unconnected sentences will be much
less readily tolerated by children’s minds.
A whole languange approach is essensial.
8. Teaching English to Teenagers
“Teaching teenagers isn’t easy because, well,
being a teenager isn’t easy” - Gary Underson
9. Teaching English to Teenagers
“Adolescents are often seen as problem
students, but with their great ability for abstract
thought and enthusiastic commitment to what
they are doing once they are engaged, ‘teens
may well be the most exciting students of all” -
Harmer J.
10. Teenager: a Definition
A teenager, or teen, is a young person whose
age falls within the range from thirteen through
nineteen (13–19).
12. Psychological Condition of
Teenager
Teen is age of transition, confusion, self-
consciousness, growing, and changing bodies
and minds.
It is a condition where someone is not mature,
but not children anymore.
14. Tips for Teaching Teen (Worgan
M.)
1. The First Day: The first few days are crucial
to the way the course will run. This is the time
when the students will make unconscious
decisions about what kind of teacher you are.
15. Tips for Teaching Teen (Worgan
M.)
2. Don’t be strict: Research has shown that
firm but fair teachers are preferred by this age
group. Many times teachers are tempted to
treat a group of sixteen year- olds as adults,
but the fact is that emotionally they are not.
16. Tips for Teaching Teen (Worgan
M.)
3. Short-Term goals: For the teacher, the
school year may fly by, but for the average
fifteen-year-old, though, a year can be a very
long time.
17. Tips for Teaching Teen (Worgan
M.)
4. Motivation: You need to motivate your
students creatively to follow your lesson.
18. Tips for Teaching Teen (Worgan
M.)
5. Humor: A good laugh now and again can
motivate teenagers to want to come to class.
Make up stories or ask them to help you solve
a problem or to introduce a grammar point that
they actually know.
