Students learn of the impending asteroid impact scenario, form teams and begin to study the situation in depth. A simple in-class simulation shows them the potential for destruction and disaster. They complete worksheets and look at maps to help them define and understand the problem: What is the needed cavern size and depth? What are the geographical areas and natural features? A homework measurement assignment prepares them for the next lesson/activity.

The relationships we cultivate in our lives are essential to our well-being—namely, happiness and health. Why is that so? We begin to answer this question by exploring the types of relationships—family, friends, colleagues, and lovers—we have in our lives and how they are measured. We also explore the different aspects of happiness and health, and show how the quantity and quality of relationships can affect our happiness and health.

Rating
0.0 stars

The author examines affective domain assessment, which focuses on evaluating individuals' attitudes, values, beliefs, and emotions related to a particular subject or domain. This type of assessment aims to measure the affective aspects of learning, such as motivation, engagement, and empathy. The author may discuss methods for assessing the affective domain, such as surveys, interviews, or self-assessments, and highlight the importance of considering learners' emotions and attitudes in the educational process.AFFECTIVE-ASSESSMENT.docx

The measurable goal and curricular aim of this lesson are for students to be able to fluently retrieve words in spelling patterns, and correctly spell both irregularly-spelled grade-appropriate words and words with vowel and consonant-blend patterns. The three activities in this lesson plan enables students to use the knowledge they have learned in class to complete. Students have an individual assesment at the end to write their own story incorporating the concepts from this lesson.

How to participate in the process of evidence-based practice

Short Description:
This primer supports social workers in learning the basics of evaluation as it relates to engaging in evidence-based practice at the micro, mezzo and macro levels. It is designed for students who have already had an introductory research methods course who are now engaged in an evaluation project or course.

Long Description:
This primer supports social workers in learning the basics of evaluation as it relates to engaging in evidence-based practice at the micro, mezzo and macro levels. It is designed for students who have already had an introductory research methods course who are now engaged in an evaluation project or course. This primer is designed to support students in understanding the basics of practice evaluation techniques in a language that makes sense to them. Practice evaluation has two parts, the analysis of the efficacy of practice with clients (or client systems, such as groups, or communities) and the critical interpretation of practice evaluation results. Therefore, the book follows this format. The analysis of practice efficacy involves the careful design of evaluation studies and collection of evaluation data. This is followed by the careful analysis of client data (quantitative and/or qualitative). The critical consumption of evaluation results requires ‘fluency’ in interpreting basic statistical data as well as rigorous qualitative data analyses. In order to be ethical practitioners, social work practitioners need to be both practice evaluators and critical consumers of evaluation data. This simple primer presents this process in simple language designed to engage social work practitioners from an evidence-based practice perspective.

Module 3 - Geologic Setting
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

A key first step toward developing students' understanding Woburn's water problems is having a students understand the geologic model of the Aberjona River Valley. Geologist use a series of tools to be able to construct models of the subsurface features of a given location. The first step in this tool is to look at these are official features of an area to gain a perspective of the subsurface composition. Geologist typically then will drill borings into the subsurface to obtain samples of rocks. During the drilling process geologist will measure the depth at which changes in rock type occur, they also will try to identify similar rock types and different borings to come up with a spatial arrangement of rock layers. This data is then used to construct the geologic cross-section. So the objective of this module is to get students familiar with its surface and subsurface geologic features so that they may begin to interpret the interrelation between geology and hydrogeology. Geologic logs are provided for students to create their own subsurface geologic cross-sections, which can be applied to later modules when they begin to evaluate groundwater flow towards Wells G & H.

Second Edition

Short Description:
This textbook is based on materials sourced from different practitioners from the world of research design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. The author and her collaborators have also added materials to supplement the available literature.

Long Description:
Increasingly, the concept of marketing research is being replaced with the term ‘customer or consumer insights’. As decision-makers are bombarded with data, it is important to have an Insights Team or Department which can sift through it all and identify those nuggets of information that can meaningfully explain human behaviour. Such insights must translate into an informed business strategy for success. This book has been curated to ensure that the practice of data collection, analysis, and interpretation is presented from an industry perspective.

This unit was developed for a junior level pre-Calculus class to be taught during the first quarter of the 2016-17 school year. The lessons of the unit will culminate in each group of students creating and analyzing a mathematical model to predict the future impacts of climate change in New Hampshire and make a presentation as a group. The texts and historic data source, while specific to New Hampshire, may be of interest to other regions of the country. However, state climate change reports and climate data specific to your location may be available through state universities and meteorological stations.
