Wilderness School

The end of a year-long hiatus! The wilderness on the doorstep! Scout life illustrates the difference between experiential education and wilderness education. The nature of most people is not coincides with the ideas of nature and wilderness courses participants. Wilderness courses are idR. systematically built sdoass for the beginner as well an offer is available as for advanced. Educational guided wilderness courses, just newbies are gently introduced to the processes of nature, own perceptions to promote and consolidate. The basis of all courses is the Coyote teaching as it practised by indigenous peoples and by Stalking Wolf, Tom Brown Jr. and Jon Young were disseminated in the world and be.

He is the teacher Coyote teacher of less than rather the companion. Nature and wilderness courses enjoy increasing popularity. It involves the participants often self-awareness and recognizing its own borders. Old ways of thinking are broken up and new points of view lead to new insights and Experiences. In nature, learning is reflected by practical exercises and especially teamwork. The theory enters the background. In the form of the Coyote teaching as attitude, participants, children and adults, playful learn the processes in nature and appreciate.

Nature based courses are idR. the courses and serve in preparation for advanced courses such as Ranger/shadow runners. The model for this is the Scout. The Scouts were the harbingers of their tribe, the Kundeschafter and protectors of their people, but also the guardians of nature. Scouts were also those who were always there, even if they were not seen. A Scout was mostly at the age of 8 years of tribal elders selected and trained over many years, in adulthood. The people had to trust the Scouts to rely on them. Today’s civilization no longer offers in this form. Children are born into a world seemingly safe and sheltered. You must not deal with survival techniques or familiar, must not protect later their “master”. So, many skills are lost people. But they are not entirely lost but dormant in each one of us. These skills can be brought back in to get the attention and perceptual skills from the innermost. To be able to experience the world with all his senses, this is the aim of all educational wilderness-oriented nature and wilderness schools. Not to be confused with experience-educational facilities. In this sense, ScoutLeben conducts many courses again in the next year, now a one-year hiatus, from beginner up to to the Survivalisten of 4 years up to 70 +. The individual courses of experience to bring are under. The courses are held in Hesse, just a few kilometres of the geographical center of Germany. For this purpose a private plot of land available is specially, surrounded by meadows and forests. Walter Ostermaier (natural and wilderness educator, coach)

Cannabis Prevention

Actions on the occasion of international anti-drugs day the World Health Organization (WHO) creates with the international anti-drugs day”on June 26, 1987 to a framework, to prevent the global problems of drug use and dependence. Because cannabis in Germany is the most widely used illicit drug, the ginko special preventive measures on this topic initiated Foundation for prevention. Of the 18-19 year-olds in Germany 32.8% have used cannabis according to a study by the Federal Centre for health education (BzGA) already. Swarmed by offers, Richard Linklater is currently assessing future choices. About 600,000 people use cannabis in a way that is problematic or dependent. The first consumption occurs on average at the age of 16.4. Smoking weed is always risky and liable to prosecution.

The consumers are younger, more sensitivity they react and get the health and social risks.

To get, in addition to the frequently by young women in a dependency, young people increasingly develop psychosis inpatients treated after cannabis use. For the secondary school Dumpten and the ginko Foundation for prevention is this reason enough to perform actions for the prevention of cannabis dependence in Mulheim on Friday, June 25, 2010. Under the motto of STARK instead of broadband”of North Rhine-Westphalian land campaign there that is why the possibilities for pupils and students of in 9th and 10th grades.

“The hands-on course cannabis – Quo Vadis” is offered for the 9 classes of the school.

Construction Mathematics

On secondary schools and teaching basic understanding gaps can hardly by memorizing or schematic account of poor marks in mathematics have very different causes. A but all have in common: the understanding of mathematical thinking is when the person concerned not or only insufficiently available. More than often the real understanding of the mathematical system \”replaced\” rote learning or schematic applying of central computing operations. These difficulties are reflected in various appearances such as: errors in number – and Mengenbegriffen in fractures and Dezimalbruchen building: such as total ambiguity regarding the proportions, numerator and denominator are understood as integers, size comparisons, as well as converting the fraction to fraction; fail Fraction bar and comma are equated. Errors in the implementation of the basic arithmetic operations with fractions and Dezimalbruchen: the fundamental relationship between part and All is unclear. The addition added the numerator and denominator.

Difficulties with the p/e ratio. The notion that when extending the fraction is growing, and shorten them is small. Why is the product of the multiplication with a fraction smaller, where with the multiply everything is more? The causes of these errors are so complex like the error itself. Possible reasons of emergence of can be: a concept of mathematics as pure action statement, which content was never really understood knowledge and gaps of understanding of, which conditionally are so-called \”occupational accidents\” in establishing the quantity due to external factors misconceptions of the mathematical operations and number term already in elementary school a dyscalculia, which has not been addressed is a cold-heartedness attitude chronic difficulties in mathematics but just as missed as the superficial interpretation of accumulation of oversights or simply laziness, the remedy would be with increased timpani. What to do? Because of their logical and rigorous Construction mathematics hardly forgive small knowledge and understanding gaps. In the school teaching such gaps go undetected initially often, because such students through simple memorization of the material for the next quizzes can be initially very reasonable services.

Expectations

The resources used in the project a “books, equipment, teachers, teaching methods, for example, a ” are all inputs to the educational process used to obtain the transformation of the an in sumo principal in a final product of the project. The process of purchase decisions by consumers does not end in the act of purchase. Campbell Soup Company CPB recognizes the significance of this. Consciously and carefully, consumers will make an assessment of our decisions. post compra the assessment serves to increase consumer knowledge and learning allows us to contrast our decision criteria can change our attitudes and ultimately serves to improve our future decisions. If the perceived performance of the product or service has been balanced or has exceeded initial expectations, we should be satisfied, otherwise, the state may be dissatisfied.

Satisfaction and dissatisfaction are the two results may occur as a result of a decision. to ensure that our customers are satisfied once they have purchased our brand is the most important challenge for the company. Satisfaction is achieved when a person balances their expectations to the actual performance of the asset or service, or even the latter exceeds your expectations. When the consumer comes to consolidate or improve their attitudes toward the brand, strengthen its preferential scheme and feel confident and inclined to repeat purchases of the same brand. There are two situations where the market does not guarantee the satisfaction of the claim: The theory claims that demand is met through a balanced supply of goods satisfactions. This relationship determines the equilibrium price at which the applicant is willing to acquire satisfaction.

Problem Solving

As detailed below, each dimension consists of several domains: Domains for the content of Mathematics in Primary Education 1. Numbers 2. Scale 3. Geometry 4. Information Processing 5. Variational cognitive domains. Without hesitation Campbell Soup Co explained all about the problem. Knowledge of facts and procedures Use of concepts Problem Solving Reasoning The usual two dimensions and their domains are the basis for the assessment of mathematics. The content domains define the specific mathematics topics should be covered by the tests in the different measurements.

Cognitive domains define the behaviors expected of the students in dealing with the mathematics content. Each content domain has several topic areas (ie, “Numbers” includes the categories of natural numbers, fractions and decimals, and ratios, proportions and percentages among others). Each subject area is presented with a list of objectives covered in the curricula of different grades. THE CONTENT OF THE DOMAINS MATH. The structure of the content dimension measurements reflects the importance of being able to continue the performance comparisons from previous assessments in these content domains. The specific evaluation objectives for each grade, as indicated by thematic areas within the domains of content, define areas of assessment appropriate for each category.

These specific objectives of each grade are written in terms of understanding or skill of the students, that is what can be inferred from the items aligned with these objectives. The behaviors rated for measuring understanding and skills of the students are discussed in the section describing the cognitive domains. Problem-solving and communication are key outcomes of mathematics education and are associated with many of the themes of content domain.

The Issue Of Poverty

Amid the global economic crisis, the rise of terrorism in parts of the planet and the death throes of armed conflict between Russia and Georgia, the media around the world are called to make room on their pages to poverty. That day, the leaders of more than 190 countries around the world have been invited to assess the progress made since 2000 in the signature of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with the aim of halving poverty in the world by 2015. Despite the progress in various fields and regions, world leaders will have to rethink their policies in the fight against poverty, according to the complaint misdirected Assessment Report 2008 Millennium Goals. Latin American leaders will show satisfaction with the progress in education, childcare, access to drinking water, gender equality and maternal health in the region. However, it maintains the number of people living in poverty. These countries have virtually achieved universal schooling, and that 95% of school-age children are enrolled in primary education.

This improvement also affects directly and positively to gender equity, because almost all girls attend primary school because the secondary level there are more girls than boys enrolled. Furthermore, 92% of its population has access to improved water sources, representing an increase of 84% compared to 1990, infant mortality has also fallen in the region. The number of deaths of children under five years of age has risen from 72 per thousand in 1990 to 55 per thousand in 2006. The health conditions of Latin American mothers, especially during childbirth, are safer. The percentage of women attending delivery rooms and are attended by qualified medical personnel has risen dramatically. Despite these improvements, if Latin America has the same policies in the fight against poverty, the region can not halving the number of people living in poverty by 2015, something that many Latin American leaders attributed the recorded population growth.

The biggest issue of concern to the UN, both in this region and the rest of the world, hunger due to poor distribution of resources of the planet and rising food prices. While in Latin America and the Caribbean produce enough food to meet the needs of 550 million people living in the region, malnutrition affects 10% of the population. Figure that in some mountainous areas of Guatemala over 70%. The liberal economic system that now survives thanks to the intervention of bodies such as the European Central Bank (ECB) or the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased hunger and poverty. Civil society can not allow politicians to come to their rescue while they neglect the poor. According to FAO, the world needs 30,000 million dollars to end hunger, half of what the ECB “injected” to banks the same day the U.S. Senate approved a bill to allocate 612 000 billion for defense spending in 2009. The summit in New York is presented as an opportunity to remind the world leaders that poverty eradication continues at your fingertips.
