Child labor is the practice of having children engages in economic activity, on a part- or full-time basis. The practice deprives children of their childhood, and is harmful to their physical and mental development. Poverty, lack of good schools and the growth of the informal economy are considered to be the key causes of child labor in India.

This project aims to provide a bibliography resource for teachers, parents, counselors, and others interacting with children that had ACEs. As statistics indicate, there is a need for assistance in the area of resources to help children cope with the impact of the tragedy. Books are one means of having children feel connected to others and experience another individual’s process of coping with a traumatic event. Reading can connect children emotionally with characters which is the primary goal of this grant, though reading will also provide children with other additional affective benefits of readings such as active civic engagement, healthier lifestyle, examples of empathy.

GIS techniques, data sources, and other resources are so numerous and varied …
GIS techniques, data sources, and other resources are so numerous and varied that, even if someone is doing GIS work regularly, it's common to say, "Now how did I do that last time?" or "Where did I get that data?". One of the main goals of my GIS course is to have students create a personal GIS portfolio that will be useful to them in the future, either for projects at Hamilton or in a job after graduation. Portfolios must include, at a minimum, a spreadsheet of data sources and information about downloading and prepping data from each site; an annotated Word doc of useful web sites; a DVD collection of projects and data from the course; and an organized notebook that contains the items listed above plus all class handouts, exercises, and printouts of products.
What I stress in this assignment is that portfolios need to be more than collections of GIS stuff – they must be useful for the future. To make portfolios useful for the future, students have to give significant thought not only to organization but how they will be able to find information in their portfolios in the future and how they can build indexes, annotations, flow charts, etc. to make their portfolios more than a collection of pieces of paper in a binder.

Technology can be a powerful tool to assist students with special needs or any sort of learning challenge. In particular the Chrome web browser allows users to install a wide variety of web extensions that provide tools that can help all learners, regardless of ability level.
In this blog post we will take a look at over 30 Chrome web extensions that can assist students in five main categories: Text to Speech Readability Reading Comprehension Focus Navigation
Some of the tools fit into more than one topic, but each is only listed once. Certainly this list does not cover all of the useful web extensions available for struggling learners, but it is a great place to begin. In addition to the list of extension, I have also linked in the video from a webinar I did a while back on "Google Tools for Special Needs".

Produto educacional desenvolvido como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do título de Mestre em Ciências Ambientais, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Rede Nacional para Ensino das Ciências Ambientais - PROFCIAMB. Esse produto é resultado da dissertação de mestrado “A ÉTICA AMBIENTAL E A SOCIEDADE DE RISCO EM UM JOGO DIDÁTICO, COMO INSTRUMENTO NA PROMOÇÃO DE UMA EDUCAÇÃO PARA O DEENVOLVMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL”, realizada no programa de mestrado profissional PROFCIAMB em 2021. Considerando o contexto socioambiental mundial nas últimas décadas e a assinatura da Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, buscou-se recursos para promover uma Educação para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Na ética ambiental e na teoria da Sociedade de Risco de Ulrich Beck, encontrou-se potenciais para tal e objetivando a dinamicidade e a necessidade de metodologias ativas no ensino, propôs-se a criação de um jogo didático em que os estudantes são confrontados com dilemas éticos e riscos relacionados ao Desenvolvimento Sustentável.

Students often need space to discuss the issues that face them on their developmental journey as they grapple with a range of emotions, navigate peer challenges, and consider their place in the world. No matter the content area, teachers can support productive whole-class discussions by establishing a practice of Class Circles or Class Council. In Class Council or Class Circle, students sit in a circle, pass around a talking piece, and respond to questions posed by the teacher. This community-building practice can help students address hypothetical conflicts in a safe space, explore encounters and moments that stem from class conflict, and reflect on shared and personal experiences.
Teachers can also use circles for academic content by eliciting prior knowledge when launching a unit or reflecting on a new class practice. As students become comfortable with Class Council or Class Circle, teachers can gradually release control of the circle to students, identifying peer leaders who eventually facilitate the circle and contribute topics and questions.

Is it possible to create a student-centered, highly communicative, intensive reading environment? While theoretical debates escalate about whether language acquisition and communicative competence are innately determined (Williamson 2009), teachers of ESL/EFL are struggling to find real, relevant classroom strategies that enhance students’ cognitive development and communicative ability. Circular Design provides an environment where a critical reading and understanding of content comes from a synergetic learning approach that involves a careful contemplation and communion of thought between the students and their teacher.

Learn about the techniques gold miners used to collect gold ore from the area around South Pass City, as well as the hazards they faced during the mining process.
In the accompany lesson plan (found in the Support Materials), students will watch a video that explains the mining process and hazards, and then create caution signs to show their understanding of the challenges the miners faced. Finally, the students will take part in a collaborative STEM challenge to build a working hoist using a limited amount of supplies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Students will develop grade level appropriate speaking and listening skills, as described by the standards. Students will understand how technology impacted the mining process of early gold miners, as well as the hazards the miners faced. Students will define a design problem and use limited resources to solve it.
