How To Teach ADHD/ADD Children: FAQs at home, when working with your child on homework and life will really work with youon these issues and others a book called How To Reach and teach ADD/ADHD http://www.westfieldacademy.org/adhd/faqs.htm
Extractions: Carol's Web Corner Frequently Asked Questions We don't homeschool. What can we do? How do I get started in homeschooling? What if I don't have the patience to homeschool? What about treating ADHD kids with medications? ... I've heard about your book (or seminars), but I can't find it on your web page. Where do I get it? 1. We don't homeschool. What can we do? This is obviously a very hard question for me to answer because the one area in which I've had virtually no experience is the public school system. I do know that most of what makes homeschooling useful and successful with these kids can be duplicated to some extent at home, when working with your child on homework and life skills. However, the drawback is that you get him or her at the end of what is usually a VERY taxing day, when he or she is tired and less likely to be cooperative. It is VERY difficult for our ADHD kids to keep control of their impulses in a room with many children. The noise level and the panorama of things in motion will elevate their level of excitability. The distractions are almost dizzying for them. They are almost destined for trouble. Some school systems will really work with you on these issues and others will simply claim you're not disciplining enough. I recommend that you get your hands on a book called "How To Reach and Teach ADD/ADHD Children" by Sandra F. Rief. It is written by a teacher for teachers. It is full of incredibly practical ideas to use in the typical classroom setting. There are an awful lot of books out there with totally useless and impractical information but this is not one of them.

Extractions: TEFLChina Teahouse Teaching General Choose an English name homework Roger Chrisman, June 20, 1999 Each student please write down on a piece of paper three western names you like for yourself. Mark them 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice. (If you already have a western name that you like and want, use that as your 1st choice.) (a) Include Mr. or Ms so I will know if this name is for a boy or a girl! :-) (b) Be sure to consider how each name you choose sounds in front of your pinyin one-syllable family name. Your western name will often appear with your family name like that and you don't want an awkward combination. Note, just as with my own name, it is correct to say (Mr., Mrs. and Ms should not be used with just a first name.) Next week I will collect all the papers and circle one of your choices that I like for you. If I don't circle your first choice name I will write a note why that it sounds awkward or old fashioned to me or that we have two people with that name in our class. I will hand the papers back to you for your approval. If you don't like the name I circled let me know and we will choose another. I want you to have a name that

Teach English Abroad; No Experience Required China, Korea, Thailand and Taiwan hire the most to teach English to a range of students They'dalso give you workbooks, grammar books and homework assignments http://www.black-collegian.com/career/wsj/teachabroad402.shtml
Extractions: by Sarah E. Needleman Before heading to Taiwan to teach English, Matthew Topalian hardly spoke a word of Chinese and he'd never taught a class. But last March the government major was nearing graduation from Stanford University and couldn't decide what to do next. One afternoon, Topalian happened upon a poster on campus advertising for a company seeking college graduates to teach English in Taiwan. His interest piqued, he went home, got online and immediately e-mailed an application. A phone interview followed, and he was hired shortly thereafter. "That was when I started to really think, do I want to go to Asia? I had never been there. I had never really been away from home for longer than 10 days. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to be a teacher," he says. But then it dawned on him. "Why not?" Last Aug. 4, Topalian found himself seated on an airplane bound for Taiwan. Wanted: Native English Teachers College graduates are in demand to teach English abroad, even if they don't have teaching credentials or speak the host country's language. Opportunities include temporary or full-time work for companies that staff English-language schools or as private tutors.

Solutions To The Homework Dilemma parental responsibility. You have your own things to teach your childand to share with your child. Don't be homework police. . http://www.drheller.com/homework.html
Extractions: The ritual usually begins with the first after school visual sighting of a child by a parent: "How much homework do you have?" Eventually comes the inevitable "Have you done your homework?". For many parents, a significant amount of their evenings are spent assisting, checking, or arguing about homework. Time available to spend with our children is so limited and so precious. Is this how it should be spent? No! What is a parent's responsibility when it comes to a child's homework? Much less than most parents assume. You have all read or been told the basics: provide a reasonable workspace (which, for any given child, can be almost any physical context in which they can do schoolwork) and make sure there is a quiet and reasonable amount of "work time" set aside in each child's schedule. Most parents try to do this but it is wasted advice because for children who are not doing their homework well or consistently, time and place are almost never the issue. Helping children with their homework is also supposed to be a way that parents demonstrate their interest in a child's schoolwork. The same thing can be done much more effectively by having discussions about what a child is learning in school and by parents modeling the value of learning in their lives and in shared activities with their children. "What are you discussing in Social Studies these days?" is far better than questions that focus primarily on grades and homework. Doing a project around the house with a child that requires learning some knowledge or skill is not only an excellent way to convey the value of education but also enables a positive parent-child bond to be developed. Allowing a child to teach YOU something, e.g., about computers, music, or whales, is another great way to reinforce the power of knowledge.

Extractions: Marcy Crary Our team-taught elective, "Managing Diversity in the Workplace," focuses on the opportunities and challenges of a diverse workplace and the knowledge and skills required for working productively with differences. We use simulations, role-plays, case-studies, and exercises to explore the individual, group, and organizational dynamics in which we all play a role. Students do a "cultural immersion" paper for which they are asked to visit a place in which they are in the minority and write about their experience. They also interview two managers (one the same race and gender as the student and the other a different race and/or gender) about their personal experiences with diversity and their companies' strategies for creating more inclusive and productive work environments. Mathematics Teresa Healy, Elaine Klett, Barbara Tozzi, Linda Wang Many courses in our mathematics department have strong problem-solving components where students use mathematical skills and concepts while working with real-world data. This provides an opportunity for introducing issues of diversity. For example, students in our statistics course compare and contrast data on diverse population groups. These students might also perform Chi Square Tests of Independence on data relating types of professional jobs held at colleges to ethnic groups. Students in basic math courses analyze charts and graphs relating race and age to health and other social issues.

ACLU Issues Church And State On some of the issues discussed in this summary, some Public schools must not teachas scientific fact or beliefs in the form of reports, homework and artwork http://archive.aclu.org/issues/religion/relig7.html
Extractions: A Joint Statement Of Current Law The Constitution permits much private religious activity in and about the public schools. Unfortunately, this aspect of constitutional law is not as well known as it should be. Some say that the Supreme Court has declared the public schools "religion-free zones" or that the law is so murky that school officials cannot know what is legally permissible. The former claim is simply wrong. And as to the latter, while there are some difficult issues, much has been settled. It is also unfortunately true that public school officials, due to their busy schedules, may not be as fully aware of this body of law as they could be. As a result, in some school districts some of these rights are not being observed. The organizations whose names appear below span the ideological, religious and political spectrum. They nevertheless share a commitment both to the freedom of religious practice and to the separation of church and state such freedom requires. In that spirit, we offer this statement of consensus on current law as an aid to parents, educators and students. Many of the organizations listed below are actively involved in litigation about religion in the schools. On some of the issues discussed in this summary, some of the organizations have urged the courts to reach positions different than they did. Though there are signatories on both sides which have and will press for different constitutional treatments of some of the topics discussed below, they all agree that the following is an accurate statement of what the law currently is.
