...virtually all teenagers, sometimes a teen's struggles require special intervention. Many teens struggle with issues related to mental health, family relationships, friends, school performance, substance abuse, sexuality, and other high-risk behaviors. (HelpStartsHere,2005) This program will form partnerships with local school districts, community centers, churches and the juvenile court systems. We’re Talking’s goal is to offer a sense of security to young people that will promote friendships, strong interpersonal skills, and reaffirm a sense of hope in the future. It is these through personal relationships that a sense of individual responsibility can be reestablished that will give the youth desire to follow through on a path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishment (Palo Alto Medical Foundation, 2013). 2.0 Situation Analysis We’re Talking was founded 15 months ago by three women who were looking to make a difference in the lives of young men and women. This company was created as a result to teach life and survival skills to disadvantaged youths in the community. As a mobile company, We’re Talking will search for different community sponsors that will donate the space for set up and group work with the youth. We’re Talking’s focus is to keep these individuals out of jails, prisons, and residential facilities. These individuals will have the opportunity to develop and grow into adults that will become productive in society. We’re Talking has gained...

...resources. The objective of the proposed personal high school finance class is to help high school students develop the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage financial resources effectively throughout their lifetime. In the past, high school students have been required to take an economics class which helped them get a basic understanding of the world of economics in today's world. We are now seeking to have a finance class which will not only help students get a basic understanding of finance but help students use the skills they develop to help them manage their personal finances responsibly. FLEP has partnered up with GECU, a local financial institution, to make this class possible. The class will teach students the basics of finance as well as teach students how to spend, invest, and save money effectively. The class will include setting up savings and checking accounts with GECU for the students and provide them with special support with their accounts. Our proposal requests that the FLEP personal high school finance class be a required course in the high school diploma curriculum.

Presentation: Name: removed for privacy STUDKEY: STUDNUMBER: Course: Unit Coordinator: Assignment: Number 3 – Make a critical assessment of the contribution of an author other than your lecturer to the development of your understanding of teaching in a Christian community. What are the key ideas of the writer that have proved particularly insightful for you? Reflect on the contribution of this writer to your thinking in the light of the course material you have studied and your reading of other authors. Due Date: Email Sent: I certify that this assignment is my own work. STUDENT’S SIGNATURE: Parker Palmer has made a significant contribution to my understanding of teaching in a Christian community. Through access to his published works “To Know As We Are Known, The Courage To Teach” and “Let Your Life Speak”, I have been enriched by Palmer’s viewpoints and themes on teacher’s, teaching and community. In many instances I found his viewpoints and philosophies insightful, exciting, challenging, daunting and confronting. In some instances I found his position unrealistic to my experience of teaching while also finding myself disagreeing with what I would see as being his liberal approach to theology. Other author’s including Frisken, Hekman and Van Brummelen, compliment many of the themes explored by Palmer while...

...agency who is in need of the funds to make sure they have all the right information in the proposal. Specific aims/background and significance/needs and problem statement: Should be about three pages long. “The needs/problem statement examines what is happening that requires attention, attempts to explain why it is happening, and discusses what currently is being done to address it” (Coley and Scheinberg, 1990). In the needs/problem statements try to highlight the uniqueness of the program, what is this program bringing new to the table. Coley and Scheinberg, (1990) from our text suggest some strategies for the applicants to help with the writing of the needs/problem statement: Clearly identifies the target group, meets a client/community needs, is cost effective, is a novel approach, builds upon the work of others, uses existing resources, promotes interagency cooperation, fits with the funder’s mandate/mission, has the potential of being replicated.

Consumers have to make sustainable choices for food production and consumption because we have a responsibility to preserve our environment for the generations to come.

...care giving services, and handling family issues in the office.” In order to preserve respected, qualified, and experienced teachers, incentive programs for educators need to be improved. The school district I will be discussing has 18 schools. According to Connecting Business to the Future website, the school district “is one of the newest school districts in their state. In 2008, it was surveyed to have more than 15,500 and 2000 staff members.” The school district is the 2nd largest employer in their county. I interviewed two high school teachers, and one principal from the school district. They all agreed there is a large turn over with teachers and one way to fix the issue is with competitive employee incentives. According to The Community Toolbox website, “Incentive programs are valuable because they increase morale incentives and enable you to keep good help and attract more. It's pretty simple - incentives give the best people in the organization reasons to stay.” Employee incentives are the key to keep the best teachers teaching. The...

...Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Paper Rebecca Byrd Grand Canyon University NRS-427V March 20, 2015 Jen Costello Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Paper Community health nurses have the distinctive ability and knowledge to provide teaching on various health topics within the community. For this teaching experience, this writer chose a home health center which allowed this writer to gather a group of patients 65 years and older, who have been diagnosed with CHF and teach them about heart failure management and how to prevent hospital readmissions. Congestive heart failure is an illness that effects millions each year and with proper management, individuals can still lead a productive life. Prior to the teaching presentation, a community teaching work plan proposal was developed which helped create an outline for the teaching lesson. This paper will review the teaching plan, the epidemiological rational related to CHF, evaluate the teaching experience, how the community responded, and what the strengths of the teaching plan were and areas that need improvement. Summary of teaching plan Teaching about congestive heart failure management and how to prevent returning to the hospital for complications related to CHF, is an important topic to discuss and educate the community about, especially the elderly. The teaching plan developed by this writer estimated the teaching time to last 30 minutes and would take place at Victory Home Care. Between...

...Special Education The purpose of schooling is to help our special education students to be functional and independent in the real world. I want them to learn how to deal with real life situations and to be able to understand and adapt to the changes it may bring. For example, being an autism teacher of high school students, my philosophy is different than of an autism teacher of elementary students. The most important thing of concern for the older students is to make sure they are as independent as possible and teach them some type of job skill to help them acquire a pay check to help with their care. I also help them have an alternative to destructive behavior so they are able to work in the community in some fashion. Teaching students in the special education environment all learn at different paces and at different levels. Even though the students are of high school age, they are nowhere close to being on the same educational level as their peers. I have to teach at their level even if the level is at an elementary grade level. I want them to understand and have knowledge of what can help them as they grow older. The sooner you understand as a special education teacher you have to change your teaching style to each individual student, the more success you will have with each student and the more joy you will have in your career. The key is no student learns like the others in the room. The curriculum is individually based. This is why special education students have an Individualized...

...For my service-learning project, I worked with Alexander Porter and Victoria Mustovic to teach a class of third grade students about the immune system. We taught at the Cochranton Elementary School to a group of around twenty kids. We were in the gym to teach them so we had to use alternative ways to interact than presenting slides or drawing on a chalkboard. First, we went around to hear everyone’s name, to make them feel more appreciated and interactive. Vicki, Alexander, and I then performed a skit that was used to teach the students about the immune system in a visual and auditory way. During many points in the skit, the students were asked to repeat important points that we were making. After the skit, we asked questions about topics covered...
