I am a current returning student, and am looking at how to teach resiliency in a high school classroom. I know that resiliency is an item that is looked at most often for children at risk, but I am thinking that it would be a good trait to foster in all classrooms.
If you are doing something to help foster resiliency in your classroom, please let me know what it is, and how you feel it is working.
If you have ideas about how to foster resiliency in the classroom, I would be interested in hearing those as well.
You can either reply to this message, or directly to me at [email removed].
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS! Any thoughts or comments are welcomed.
Hi Holly- I am beginning a project focusing on marketing resiliency tools/techniques, etc and I've been doing a lot of research to see what's out there. I came across your message and thought you might be interested in this website:

Does anyone have some current research on brain based learning? I'm in a grad class doing research. I need primary sources. Iwant to show how this method increases motivation and engagement. While looking, I found you guys. Can anyone lend a hand? Thanks, Dottie
In response to your request for brain-based research information, may I suggest

Hi Julie, I am taking an education class and I have to do a presentation on brain based learning. Can you explain how each principle is different between traditional and brain based teaching? Thanks, Lorrie

I have been given responsibility for purchasing science texts for a new school that will open next school year. Idealistically, I would like all the “best practices” to be included. Since a major goal is, appropriately, to do integrated cross-curricula instruction ALL THE TIME, not as a special add-on, I would hope to find a whole series of books that connects the programs for math, science, social studies etc. In other words I don’t want just good science texts; I want text that coordinate with other subjects so that the other “content specialists” math, social studies, arts, language, literacy, etc and I can cooperate and buy a coherent set of books.
Although I can find gazillion articles telling me, the teacher how to adapt existing curricula and institute change to make existing programs cross curricular, I don’t think it should be up to each individual teacher to create this all from scratch. The major text companies have writers and resources. Isn’t there anything out there that is already existing that has units in each subject that will cross “subject lines”?
I have searched the web, gone to a regular county library, looked in a specialized “educational materials” library and walked the display floor at the teacher convention for my state. The convention floor was, to me, a nightmare of pushy sales people. The educational library was pathetically out of date.
No luck on the web yet either. Every time I type in the description of what I am looking for, all I get is 27,000+ more articles telling me that researchers and experts say education should be integrated across subjects, but no reference on any publisher who actually does this. Most of the sites you can visit, like ERIC can only be searched for textbooks by subject - so that’s not going to help me find anything. Can anyone help me with suggestions or am I being overly idealistic and picky and should give up?

Each proposition forming a semantic unit consists of a small set of concept nodes interconnected to one another with relation links. Concept maps possess a number of appealing features which make them a promising tool for teaching, learning, evaluation, and curriculum planning. We extend concept maps by associating their concept nodes and relation links with attribute values which indicate the relative significance of concepts and relationships in knowledge representation. The resulting maps are called attributed concept maps (ACM). Assessing students will be conducted by matching their ACMs with those prebuilt by experts. The associated techniques are referred to as map matching techniques. The building of an expert ACM has in the past been done by only one specialist. We integrate a number of maps developed by separate experts into a single map, called the master map (MM), which will serve as a prototypical map in map matching. Both map integration and map matching are conceptualized in terms of fuzzy set discipline. Experimental results have shown that the proposed ideas of ACM, MM, fuzzy map integration, and fuzzy map matching are well suited for students with high performances and difficult subject materials
We are both working parents. I have a live-in Indonesian helper who could read Bahasa and very basic English. I have a 16 month old toddler. I feel horrible that I can't teach my daughter. Would like to know how other working parents eduacate their child at home. Thanks.

There's nothing wrong with your child learning Bahasa. Language is language - what an opportunity for your child!
There's also nothing wrong with your daughter watching Sesame Street - it's very educational and there are some educational tapes out there well worth getting. And your housekeeper could learn Englsh from watching them with your daughter!
Have your housekeeper play music and dance with your daughter. Do you have time to read outloud to your daughter for 10 minutes every night?
