Teaching About Rivers How do we teach geography? Geography is not just about learning to name and locate places, it consists of 'knowledge and understanding of concepts and skills, all of which relate to the physical and human environment and the interaction between them' (Foley and Janikoun. 1996. pg 1) Geography is essentially investigative based on an enquiry approach. The enquiry approach uses seven questions to aid the children's learning, these are: Where is the place? What is it like there? Why is this place like this? How is it connected to other places? How is it changing? What is it like to live there? How is it similar/different to another place? These questions are essential when teaching geography. This approach enables the children to develop an understanding of the processes, places and patterns involved. It allows the development of geographical concepts. The enquiry approach will be used in teaching about the physical features and processes in Sheffield. Children learn better through seeing, exploring and asking questions. This is recognised in the National Curriculum Programmes of study. ' In investigating places and themes, pupils should be given opportunities to: Observe and ask questions about geographical features.

B angor-on-Dee Bangor Isycoed Ysgol Sant Dunawd Curriculum General The curriculum is planned with regard for National Curriculum requirements and County policies. It is designed to complement and extend the experience which the child brings to school. Some parts of the curriculum have highly developed internal structures, mathematics for example, and concepts must be presented sequentially by following a clearly defined programme. Others can usefully be approached through topics, which gradually blend to give an overall understanding. All subjects taught in the Primary School have a bearing at some time upon all others. Whereas it would be unwise to teach all subjects using a topic approach, it would be equally unwise to teach all subjects in isolation. The breadth and depth of the National Curriculum is such that the school curriculum must be designed to take into consideration the areas where subjects might usefully blend harmoniously and where skills acquired in one area of the curriculum might usefully be applied in another. Pupils have attained standards in the Key Stage 1 (age 7) assessment tasks which are well above the national average. Reading standards are particularly high and reflect not only the quality of education provision in school, but also the level of parental commitment to the support and follow up of school work.

O ur 11+ entry starts a course in the main school which follows the National curriculum. This includes a substantial amount of algebra as we feel that otherwise our pupils do not have sufficient manipulative skill to enable them to move confidently forward in maths and science, whether in A level courses or after they leave school at university. Most pupils in the first year to fifth year have five lessons a week. Worksheets and short courseworks, along with homework three times per week, all help reinforce the learning process. In the first year maths is studied in form groups. From the second year onwards the pupils are set according to ability. This also enables us to adjust the set sizes so that the less able pupils work in smaller groups and receive an enhanced teacher-pupil ratio.

EXCITE Home Contact Us About Excite Epidemiology in the Classroom ... Customer Survey About EXCITE On this Page What Is Epidemiology? Why Teach Epidemiology? More about Excite Excite Goals and Objectives What is Epidemiology? Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health problems in specified populations and applying the learned information to control the health problems. It is the scientific method of problem solving used by "disease detectives"—epidemiologists, laboratory scientists, statisticians, physicians and other health care providers, and public health professionals—to get to the root of health problems in a community, whether the problem is a measles outbreak on a small college campus or a global influenza pandemic, an increase in homicide in a single community, a national surge in violence, or a localized or widespread rise in cancer. Like investigators at the scene of a crime, disease detectives begin by looking for clues. They systematically gather information about what happened—Who is sick? What are their symptoms? When did they get sick? Where could they have been exposed to the illness? Using statistical analysis, investigators study the answers to these questions to find out how a particular health problem was introduced into a community. Disease detectives then use what they have learned to prevent further illness. For example, when in 1993 more than 200 people in Washington State developed similar gastrointestinal symptoms, investigators traced the illnesses to undercooked hamburgers from a fast-food chain. Warnings to cook beef until it is no longer pink halted the outbreak and prevented further transmission.

Lockwood Sahuaro High School A manifesto for astronomy education. Parent of incoming ninth-grader: What's with the new science requirements? School counselor: Well, for starters, beginning with the class of 2032, all ninth-graders nationwide will take astronomy. Parent: Why the change from the old ways? Counselor: As you know, high school is now a five-year sequence of courses designed to parallel the new pentayear curriculum our colleges and universities have developed. We needed a science course that could be used to introduce all the others. Astronomy is perfect for the job. Parent: What follows in 10th-grade? Counselor: We're trying to adjust to the new admissions requirements of our state universities: four units of lab science, five of math, plus competency in two foreign languages. So we track our kids into chemistry as sophomores, physics as juniors, biochemistry and human anatomy as pre-seniors, and astrophysics research to tie all four courses together when they're seniors... Excuse me. I was daydreaming. My many years of astronomy teaching, coupled with my completely biased view that astronomy is the most exciting of all the sciences to teach kids, constantly triggers dreams of such changes in our curriculum. Actually, the date could have been 1882 instead of 2032 and the fantasy would have been partly correct. Astronomy had a valued place in American secondary schools for most of the 19th century.

Search The Evaluation of Abstinence Education Programs Funded Under Title V, Section 510 Latest Report Program Description Goals of the Study Participating Programs ... Evaluation Contractors Since the passage of PRWORA, the percentage of teens reporting that they have had sex has decreased, continuing a decline that started in 1991. At this time, however, no definitive research has linked the abstinence education legislation with these downward trends. Most people acknowledge that “abstinence works.” It is certain to prevent unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), abortions, and out-of-wedlock childbearing. However, an important question remains: To what extent are abstinence education programs effective in persuading youth to be sexually abstinent and in changing teen sexual behavior? To address this question, Congress authorized a federally funded, independent evaluation of Section 510 abstinence education programs in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33). In fall 1998, the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a competitive contract to Mathematica Policy Research to conduct an independent evaluation of Section 510 abstinence education programs.

(repeated on board) Testing Reigns in Britain - But Resistance Is Growing Winter 2002/2003 By Bob Peterson It's not every day one gets the opportunity to go to England. So when I was invited to attend an educational conference in Manchester on "sharing best anti-racist practices" in Britain and the United States, I jumped at the chance. My youngest daughter encouraged me to visit the Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels and the place where political opponents to the crown were beheaded. Not being particularly fond of either monarchy or capital punishment, I was ambivalent about the idea. But much to my surprise, on my first day in England a member of the Royal family, Prince Charles, improved my attitude toward the monarchy. The 54-year-old prince, who has been notoriously reactionary on many educational issues, convened a conference recently on the teaching of English literature and history. He made headlines by criticizing England's centralized national curriculum and examinations. "I want to encourage teachers to enrich their teaching despite the straitjacket of assessment," said Prince Charles. "More frequent exams mean that the time for learning has shrunk and that leads to defensive teaching."

NCREL's Learning Point (Fall 2000) Contents Next Setting Standards for Excellence By Ann Kinder In most curriculum areas it's not easy to pinpoint just one set of national standards. Several national organizations have published standards in the areas of English, math, science, social studies, and geography. But of these only national mathematics and science standards stand out as having a consistent influence on state-level standards. In particular, the standards developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) are perhaps the best known of all the national standards. Earlier this year, NCTM combined previously published standards with recently developed ones in the book Principles and Standards for School Mathematics The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is also nationally recognized for its standards. AAAS's publication Benchmarks for Science Literacy provides teachers with a framework for implementing standards into their own curricula. To gain a greater understanding of standards and how teachers are influenced by them, NCREL's Learning Point sought answers from the program staff of the North Central Mathematics and Science Consortium (NCMSC) at NCREL.

Help EDITIONS Change to World Monday, 10 February, 2003, 17:39 GMT Curriculum and testing A national curriculum is compulsory in all state schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and for virtually every pupil up to the age of 16. It is devised by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and its partner authorities, the Qualifications, Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales (Awdurdod Cymwysterau, Cwricwlwm ac Asesu Cymru - ACCAC) and the Northern Ireland Council for Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA). Although it was introduced in primary and secondary schools between autumn 1989 and autumn 1996, it is an idea that has been common in other European countries for decades. The main aim of the national curriculum is to raise standards, making sure all children have a broad and balanced education up to the age of 16. In the past, many pupils dropped key subjects such as modern languages or science at 13 or 14. A second aim is to ensure that schools in all parts of the country are following the same courses. This has particular advantages for children who change schools when families move house from one area to another.
