This resource is a complete course in art appreciation/art history for an art 100 or arthist 101 level. It is most complete in its art history sections including non-Western art. The introductory materials on techniques and media are not as comprehensive, but the art period overviews are very good. There is a complete list of sources, licenses, and attributions located at the end of every module. This resource lends itself to inclusion in a modular fashion and there is a fee-based LMS integration available if desired. Quiz files and lecture slides are also available, although that may also be on a fee-basis.

Building on lessons learned over several summers, Kristin Raab—Health Impact Assessment and Climate Change Program Director in the Environmental Health Division of Minnesota’s Department of Health—packaged information from diverse communities into a cohesive toolkit that communities of all sizes can use to prepare for heat waves. The Minnesota Extreme Heat Toolkit describes changing weather conditions in Minnesota, the magnitude of potential health consequences from extreme heat, and key steps communities can take to prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths. The toolkit acknowledges that extreme heat response plans will vary with the size of the community and the habits of its residents: examples from the mostly rural Olmsted County and the urban centers of Saint Paul and Minneapolis illustrate a range of community plans that could be useful in Minnesota and beyond.

Bristol Tennessee City Schools has just over 4,000 students enrolled among five elementary schools, a single middle school, one brick-and-mortar high school, and a virtual high school. The district’s free and reduced lunch rate is just over 53%, with the rate at some of the four Title I schools significantly higher.

To manage their businesses successfully, farmers and food production companies need to know what crops are in the ground and how well they are growing. A pair of easy-to-use online mapping tools provides this information for growing seasons in the past and present.

The buddy system wants to bridge the gap between school and pupils. By getting pupils involved as bud-dies/mentors we’re allowing other pupils to have a low level contact point for information or questions about school related issues. The buddies/mentors are a sort of role model for the other pupils at school.

Ethics is about determining value; it's deciding what's worth doing and what doesn't matter so much.Business ethics is the way we decide what kind of career to pursue, what choices we make on the job,which companies we want to work with, and what kind of economic world we want to live in and thenleave behind for those coming after. There are no perfect answers to these questions, but there's adifference between thinking them through and winging it. The Business Ethics Workshop provides aframework for identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethical dilemmas encountered through working life.

A dissertação intitulada “Educação Científica: Guia Didático para elaboração de projetos sustentáveis no ensino das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação”, objetiva desenvolver projetos mediante Feiras de Ciências, realizadas por estudantes da Educação Profissional da área das Tecnologias e da Informação e Comunicação, buscando soluções responsáveis frente às questões socioambientais. A questão de pesquisa a ser respondida neste trabalho é: Como fomentar a Educação Científica mediante Feiras de Ciências realizadas por estudantes da Educação Profissional da área das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação de modo que possibilite aos estudantes a elaboração de projetos que busquem soluções responsáveis socioambientalmente? Esta pesquisa de abordagem quali-quantitativa toma como inspiração o estudo exploratório, descritivo e escolhe como caminho metodológico a pesquisa de campo no Centro Estadual de Educação Profissional em Lauro de Freitas/Bahia, entre os anos de 2017 e 2018. A fim de alcançar o objetivo da pesquisa, optou-se pelo desenvolvimento de metodologia própria, baseada na ênfase do protagonismo estudantil, que buscou impulsionar estudantes à participação em eventos científicos, como as Feiras de Ciências e Tecnologias. Os sujeitos envolvidos no processo da pesquisa foram os estudantes do Ensino Médio Profissional do Centro Estadual de Educação Profissional em Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação – CEEP-TIC, localizado no município de Lauro de Freitas - Bahia. Apresentamos como produto educacional da pesquisa um Guia Didático para desenvolvimento de projetos sustentáveis no ensino das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação e a demonstração dos resultados dos projetos apresentados nas Feiras de Ciências Escolares do referido Centro. A partir das análises das informações coletadas em campo, a pesquisa apontou que instigar à Educação Científica na Educação Profissional é uma ferramenta essencial na promoção da educação voltada para as resoluções de problemas práticos do dia a dia e, na formação do senso crítico dos estudantes, os ajudando a ir além do senso comum, em busca de soluções. A pesquisa aponta que as Feiras de Ciências Escolares são compreendidas como práticas pedagógicas formativas para promover a Educação Científica que substitui a ênfase na capacidade de fazer, comum na formação do estudante da escola técnica-profissionalizante, para a capacidade de prever eventos e solucionar problemas. Neste sentido, perspectivamos que este guia sirva de referência para que professores, estudantes e outras pessoas interessadas possam desenvolver atividades de iniciação científica ou de pesquisas, ou projetos socioambientais em suas escolas.

This lesson provides an overview of the life and work of African American economist Glenn Cartman Loury (b.1948), one of America’s most provocative thinkers on issues related to race, poverty, and social policy. A technical economist by training, Loury is usually identified as a Black conservative, though his worldview has undergone a series of transformations since he first emerged as an outspoken Reaganite in the 1980s.

Born and raised in a working-class neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Loury rose through the ranks of elite academia to become the first Black tenured professor of economics at Harvard in 1982, doing groundbreaking work on “social capital.” Students will discover his life and work, and have the opportunity to discuss recent history and current events in light of his insights.
