<div>So interesting. Thirsty for learning. Remember Friere. When
we have a real problem to solve we accelerate learning.
Extra-academic reminds me of teaching world geography and eating
food, singing a song, learning to say hello, please and thank
you in other languages. </div>

<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">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

<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>
