<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Three years ago, I developed a
curriculum for Special Education/Behavior Disorder High School students. It
is an elaborate plan involving a closed classroom, featuring training of
classroom teachers, an isolated camping experience for all involved, a
model for a weekly staffing, and an outreach program for parents. This plan
assumed that I would administer the program with the goal of teaching the staff
the Institute's academic methods and philosophy. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The topic involved current
"brain research" highlighting appropriate responses to student classroom
behavior. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I'll dig this out and send it on
to
you. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The
anticipations: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1--The educational cooperative that hires
para-educators assigned their grant writer to develop finances for the project.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2--When reality finally broke in, I remembered I
was 79 years old and in no position to administer the project, and it was
dropped. The interesting thing is that my creditability was never questioned,
and I was hired back for the next two years and I antic</FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>ipate another year's work. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>3--A follow-up paper was written this last year
entitled, "Wounded Birds," that provide extra-academic* methods for identifying
classroom behavior.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>4--A paper is under development as a follow-up
to this work entitled, "Is There a Better Way?" Interestingly, the idea was
passed along by my academic mentor as teaching teachers to prepare to make
students <EM>thirsty for what they teach. </EM>The subject illustrates
extra-academic* teaching methods. </FONT></DIV>
