Project; Does 19th Century Evidence Tell You Whether Earth is Flat or Rotund?

Do You Believe that the Earth is a Rotund Object in Space?

 

Is your belief based on personal observation of evidence or is it only because a large number of teachers, including your parents told that this was the case?

In this project you will be asked to suspend your belief in what space traveling cameras have shown you, namely that Earth is an oblate spheroid. The Earth looks roughly spherical from space. But pretend that you were living prior to any space travel and had to use only evidence you could gather rigth here on the surface from direct observation. What story best explains the evidence? Might a Flat Earth Story work better than a Round Earth Story?

Social Skills Training

Social Skills

Question:

Why should teachers be concerned with social skill training when this is what each parent should be doing daily?

Answer:

Parents are teaching social skills that are relavant to their household and community.

 

The problem is that we have not bought into a universal set of social skills as we have common languages. In homes where there are multiple languages are spoken it is understood that there is an accepted language that is used in academic and business settings.

 

This leads us to:

Curriculum Development Proposal

As a result of me being a participant in The Brain and Behavior Summer

Institute 2007 I am submitting the following curriculum proposal:

I would like to do a Girl's Self Esteem Group,where they can tell there stories

and get the needed skills and concepts to enhance self esteem ,

assert themself effectively and hopefully change their stories .

This will help reduce the level of shame, guilt, and isolation.

The girls will learn coping skills and behaviors for

expressing and realizing their full potential.

The class will include:
