HISTÓRIAS EM QUADRINHOS COMO PROPOSTA INTERDISCIPLINAR EM EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL ...ProfessorPrincipiante
Historicamente, a Educação Ambiental (EA) obteve enormes avanços e, tornou-se importante para a busca de valores e princípios, passando a fazer parte dos currículos educacionais brasileiros. É pertinente que a EA constitui um assunto que se faz necessário em todas as etapas de ensino, tanto na educação formal como na não formal, começando em casa, mesmo antes do contato da criança com a escola. Nesse contexto, surge a necessidade do professor trabalhar este tema com os alunos e buscar metodologias que satisfaçam as necessidades dos educandos.

A DISCIPLINA DIDÁTICA DA MATEMÁTICA NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DE PROFESSORES DE MAT...ProfessorPrincipiante
Dentro de um curso de licenciatura, a disciplina de Didática da Matemática visa
aprofundar conceitos sobre a ciência matemática, sua importância em sala de aula,
procurando conhecer, analisar e discutir os aspectos sociais, políticos e culturais dos
conteúdos matemáticos do ensino fundamental e médio. O aluno de licenciatura, futuro
professor, necessita conhecer e analisar os limites e possibilidades dos recursos
tecnológicos, das avaliações, dos planejamentos, além de estabelecer conexões com
outras áreas do conhecimento. Deve fazer parte da formação inicial de um professor de
matemática refletir acerca de seu papel como educador, buscando caminhos produtivos e
inovadores para uma práxis pedagógica transformadora.
Como meio de levar o estudante de licenciatura a conhecer a realidade da escola,
existem as disciplinas de estágio, que os coloca em contato direto com alunos, colegas
professores e comunidade escolar. Para garantir o melhor aproveitamento dessa
experiência de formação pedagógica, é importante que o aluno tenha previamente sido
instrumentalizado com os conhecimentos que o permitam avaliar de modo crítico a
realidade da escola, o cotidiano escolar, as situações didáticas que a ele se apresentam.
Nessa perspectiva, se insere a disciplina de Didática da Matemática. Dentre tantos temas
a serem abordados, estão as Tendências em Educação Matemática.
PROFESSOR UNIVERSITÁRIO EM INÍCIO DE CARREIRA: UM ESTUDO NA UNIVERSIDADE ESTA...ProfessorPrincipiante
Apesar de já haver um interesse maior por parte dos pesquisadores em educação a respeito da formação do docente universitário, os problemas relacionados ao professor iniciante ainda são pouco abordados na literatura. Segundo Romanowski (2012) do total de pesquisas sobre formação de professores que soma 10.292 de 2000 a 2008, 70 estudos abordam a formação do professor principiante, das quais (6) seis são sobre o professor principiante do ensino superior. Para a autora, em razão da falta de uma política de acompanhamento, apoio e formação continuada para os professores principiantes, tanto no ensino público quanto privado, há poucos profissionais envolvidos com práticas de trabalho junto a esses professores o que demonstra a pouca existência de trabalhos sobre o tema.
La siguiente actividad se desarrolló en el grado segundo cero dos de la institución Remedios Solano Sede Villa Luz en donde se encuentran matriculados 29 estudiantes de los cuales 20 son niñas y 9 niños, estos estudiantes tienen unas edades que oscilan entre los 7 y 8 años, la asignatura es matemáticas, el tema la sustracción o resta, en esta actividad se puede evidenciar el aprendizaje vivencial

Combatting Senior Isolation with Volunteerism
Senior isolation is a social issue that many of our senior citizens face today. It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities.
Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is Yolise Fajardo, I currently serve as the Summer Youth Employment Program
(SYEP) and the Work, Learn & Grow Employment Program (WL&GEP) Director at Inwood Community
Services, Inc.. Inwood Community Services, Inc. (ICS) is a not-for-profit community-based organization
established in 1979 to serve the residents of the Inwood-Washington Heights community to provide
extensive programming for children, adolescents, adults and families in Counseling; Literacy, Youth
Services; and Prevention.
It is my pleasure to write this letter on behalf of Dr. Gary Altheim to give recognition to his
organization Growth and Development Services, Inc. (GDS) for all of the positive and productive work
that they do in the Washington Heights and Inwood (WHaI) communities. I first met Dr. Gary at a
community meeting regarding community resources served by different Community Based Organization
in Northern Manhattan. After hearing what each of our organizations had to offer Dr. Gary and I decided
that it would be beneficial to start a partnership.
Since that meeting in 2014 Dr. Gary has had an interest in our Summer Youth Employment
Program, who serves more than 600 youth with summer employment each year. However, it wasn’t until
last summer, summer 2015 that our partnership flourished and we were able to work together. Growth and
Development Services, Inc. became a worksite for our SYEP program. They hosted 10 Youth
Advocates/Peer Leaders in their office at NYC Fort Washington Armory. There our youth took part in
several projects overseen by Dr. Gary and Theonyl Cuevas his Director of Programs. Dr. Gary was
excellent in sharing with us all of the events and projects that our youth hosted and attended.
The Youth Advocates began a movement for GDS, their peers and the community called The
Youth Movement, led by ACE –Advocating for Community Empowerment, which started a supportive
campaign for community programs. As part of the advocacy program the peer leaders were trained in
self-advocacy and community activism. Some of our SYEP youth participants wrote testimonials for
GDS such as “This program enables youth like me to progress and continue through the difficult teenage
years, and finds a way to motivate us. Growth and Development Services helps me be more outspoken,
strong minded and diplomatic. I am extremely happy with the fact that this program makes me more
ecstatic as an individual and gives me a mammoth amount of positivity with any downfalls I may have
experienced” Jose M. Calixto. And "I gained more knowledge about nonprofit organizations, leadership,
advocacy and activism" August 2015, GDS participant.

The youth also launched a Reach Your Potential (RYP) Program which incorporates counseling,
peer leadership training, arts, college/job readiness and community activism.
The program empowers
inner city youth by building on their strengths, promoting a strong sense of self, and by teaching them
critical skills they need to advocate for themselves and others.
Because of the huge success that our participants had over the summer at GDS, Dr, Gary and I
partnered again the fall of 2015 for our Work, Learn & Grow Employment Program. This time around Dr.
Gary and Theonyl became a more integral part for our program by donating their time to help host some
of our orientations. During a span of 2 weeks they visited our orientation to speak and educate our youth
about topics such as the impacts of Social Media & Cyber Bullying as well as teach them and provide
them with examples of how to properly write a resume and cover letter.
During the fall and the winter months they hosted a new group of Youth Advocates and Peer
Leaders who continued with the Reach Your Potential program. The Participants, in their role as Youth
Advocates, attended community board and Town Hall meetings, advocated for the continuation,
utilization and creation of community programs, and planned Community Impact events at GDS. In their
administrative roles, they assisted in revamping the agency's office organization and filing systems. At
the culmination of the program, the participants reported feeling accomplished and with improved skills
to continue with their career or professional endeavor.
Dr. Gary, Theonyl and GDS have become one of my favorite sites for our youth. I feel like at
GDS they are learning a sense of responsibility for themselves and for the community they live in.
Programs like GDS that teach youth about the importance of advocacy and motivate them to become
better individuals in life are needed in our communities.
I look forward to continuing a partnership with Dr. Gary and GDS and to learn more of the
project and ideas that they have for our youth and for the WHaI communities.
Sincerely,
Yolise Fajardo
SYEP Program Director
