Meeting the academic needs of a student with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be taxing on teachers and students. This research highlights classroom management strategies that general education teachers might include in their teaching to support the academic growth students with ADHD, while continuing to support all students in the class.   Classroom teachers and a resource teacher were interviewed to discuss their beliefs and strategies on dealing with students with ADHD. Results indicated that it is important for teachers to have strategies that address the unique learning needs of this population. Adult attitudes and approach to this situation is important. Adults had to think about the student with ADHD and remind themselves that this population learns differently. The research highlights the importance of adapting the classroom management strategies in place without compromising the education of others.
Principles and Ethics for Elementary and Junior High School Teachers

Subjects: Secondary School Teachers,Ethics,Elementary School Teachers,Junior High Schools,Teacher Characteristics,Moral Values,Christianity,Leadership Qualities,Teacher Responsibility,Religious Factors

The rules and principles approach for developing educators' ethical judgment may be less effective than a centered approach. A centered approach being one that focuses solely on the elementary and junior high teachers. Educators understand the moral and ethical convolution of their role; possess expertise in interpreting their behavior and penetrating its influence on students, and act ethically within the context of professional responsibility. It's importance of programs focusing on addressing the ethics. "Ethics are rules of conduct that are recognized in recognized in respect to a particular class" (Webster online, 2009). As ethics are rules of conduct the principles are the acceptance of the ethics. When developing educators; we must know that the educator will in return be recognized as a leader. They are leaders amongst students, in the schools and most importantly a leader working for Christ. What are leaders for Christ? What do they look like and/or what traits do they posses? The focus of this paper will identify professional principles and ethics for teachers that are mandated by Christ.
Planetary Geology: A Teacher's Guide with Activities in Physical and Earth Sciences

Science education is an integral part of scientific endeavors. When the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was created by an act of Congress in 1958, its charter required the agency to "...provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof." Part of that responsibility includes introducing students to the scientific results of planetary exploration. This volume is designed to help meet this goal. The activities are written either to supplement or to introduce topics usually encountered in earth science courses. The exercises are grouped into five units: (1) introduction to geologic processes; (2) impact cratering activities; (3) planetary atmospheres, (4) planetary surfaces, and (5) geologic mapping. Although each exercise is intended to "stand alone," students will benefit from having worked some of the prior exercises. For example, it would be difficult for students to work exercises in planetary geologic mapping without some knowledge of geologic processes and planetary surfaces. The suggested introductory exercises are noted at the beginning of each exercise. Depending on the instructor, activities can be adapted to most levels of instruction by modifying the questions and adjusting the expectations for answers. A list of suggested correlations of activities with topics commonly covered in earth science courses is included for the convenience of the instructor. (Contains 91 figures.)

Each year since 1997, the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has  published a report on the well-being of children and families. The Forum's signature report, &quot;America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being,&quot; provides annual updates on the well-being of children and families in the United States across seven domains: family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health. This year's report reveals that health insurance coverage rates for children increased, the percentage of preterm births declined for the second straight year, average 8th-grade mathematics scores reached an all-time high, teen smoking was at its lowest since data collection began, and the adolescent birth rate declined after a 2-year increase. However, the percentage of children whose parents had secure employment was the lowest since 1996, and the percentage living in poverty was the highest since 1998. The percentage of children in food-insecure households was the highest since monitoring began. The Brief concludes with a summary table displaying recent changes in all 40 indicators. (Contains 15 figures and 40 footnotes.)

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Engineers at Marshall Space Flight Center along with their partners at other NASA centers, and in private industry,  are designing and beginning to develop the next generation of spacecraft to transport cargo, equipment, and human explorers to space. These vehicles are part of the Constellation Program, which is carrying out a bold vision of human space exploration. The program includes a crew exploration vehicle and the spacecraft to carry the crew to the Moon and later to Mars. The NASA Authorization Act of 2005 directs NASA to establish a program to develop a sustained human presence on the Moon, which will serve as a stepping stone to further exploration of Mars and other destinations. This design challenge focuses on the Ares family of rockets, which will replace the Space Shuttle in the task of putting people, satellites, and scientific experiments into space. The Engineering Design Challenges connect students with the work of NASA engineers by engaging them in similar design challenges of their own. With some simple and inexpensive materials, teachers can lead an exciting unit that focuses on a specific problem that NASA engineers must solve and the process they use to solve it. In the classroom, students design, build, test, and revise their own solutions to problems that share fundamental science and engineering issues with the challenges facing NASA engineers.
