Colleagues--
    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.  
    The topic involved current "brain research" highlighting appropriate responses to student classroom behavior. 
                    
    The anticipations:   
1--The educational cooperative that hires para-educators assigned their grant writer to develop finances for the project.
2--A follow-up paper was written this last year entitled, "Wounded Birds," that provide extra-academic* methods for identifying classroom behavior.
3--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 thirsty for what they teach. The subject illustrates extra-academic* teaching methods.
    Inner Peace,
    Bill Salmon
* Extra-academic is meant to convey methods not ordinarily identified with the profession of teaching.
