Extractions: Alternatives to Regular Teaching There is a chance that after attending a Faculty of Education, you will discover that teaching is not what you expected. You may feel that you do not want to teach at all or that you would like to continue your own learning before becoming a full-time teacher. This section of the booklet contains a list of Master's programs and employment that you might want to look into. Due to the scope of this booklet, it is impossible to include all of the alternate possibilities. Hopefully, however, you will get an idea of the vast and diverse prospects available to you. Master's Programs : You may be surprised at the number of Master of Education programs that are available. Many of the graduate programs are designed to enhance teaching skills within an area of specialization. Universities across Canada offer Master of Education programs in science, French, geography, visual arts, physical education, etc. just to name a few.

CAPE- Museum as Curriculum Making Field trips Matter This workshop will teach teachershow school planning for the Arts This workshop takes schools through the http://www.capeweb.org/ProfDev.html
Extractions: Professional Development Because of the depth and complexity of the CAPE initiative, and because it calls on schools and arts organizations to change some of their basic operating principles, the project was constructed with many layers of technical support, advisement, and accountability. One of the primary learnings from the first nine years of the CAPE initiative is the need for a clearly articulated methodology for taking arts education partnerships through a coherent planning and implementation process.CAPE's methodology, as documented in the book Renaissance in the Classroom: Arts Integration and Meaningful Learning , has been praised for its innovative approach to improving teaching and learning. CAPE's professional development courses and workshops will guide you through the process of incorporating the arts into everyday teaching practices. The courses and workshops are taught by experienced arts integration practitioners who have successfully demonstrated academic improvement through the arts at their schools, and by experts in curriculum planning and whole school improvement. They will show you how to effectively build an arts integration program in your classroom, while accessing Chicago's vast cultural resources.
Extractions: In a way, my travels started in the fourth grade in St. Louis when I went on a school field trip to nearby Springfield, Ill., the home and burial place of Abraham Lincoln. I don't remember the modest house where three of Lincoln's sons were born or the Old State Capitol. But I can still see the gleaming yellow school bus that took me and my classmates on the adventure, as potent to me then as Dorothy's ruby slippers. Moreover, school trips teach children how to handle themselves away from their parents, how to eat in a restaurant and behave during a lecture. "A lot is learned in terms of life skills," says Vincent Ferrandino, executive director of the National Association of Elementary School Principals in Alexandria, Va. Of course, the real purpose of a school trip is to teach children about a specific subject Colonial America in Williamsburg, Va., ecology in Southern California's Channel Islands and the animal world at the San Diego Zoo. Educators say such trips are an important part of school curricula at all levels.
Extractions: Secondary school teachers work regular school hours, but often work outside of these hours planning lessons or attending meetings. They may also be involved in extra-curricular activities during lunchtimes, weekends, school holidays or after school. "The hours I work depend on what's going on. During the school production I was at school two nights a week, plus weekends. On average I work an extra hour and a half in the evening, but a lot comes down to being well organised." Jared Cone, Secondary School Teacher

Northwest Mountain School About Us and Philosophy The Northwest Mountain school was formed the world to select staffand trips that are building anchors, crevasse rescue, and pretrip planning. http://mountainschool.net/aboutus.html
Extractions: The Northwest Mountain School is located in Leavenworth, WA. Leavenworth is home to world class backpacking, skiing, rock climbing, fly fishing, mountain biking, and just about any other outdoor activity you may be interested in. Most programs take place in the mountain ranges within a few hours drive from Seattle. Locations vary from original-growth forests and alpine glaciers to sage-brush deserts and rivers in the Olympics, Cascades, and Alaska. Most trips start at the Seattle-Tacoma airport, and then proceed to a base area in the Cascades. Background and Philosophy The Northwest Mountain School was formed in 1994 to give young people the opportunity to experience purposeful trips in the backcountry. John Race, a professional mountain guide for 13 years, started NMS to combine his love of mountain environments with his extensive mountain guiding experience. Students spend time honing camping, climbing, and paddling skills, while also having the opportunity to study the plants, animals, geology, and history of the Pacific Northwest. During the adventures, friendships are formed that will last a lifetime. Every NMS program seeks to teach safe back country travel, while encouraging fun, goal-oriented activities in mountain environments . The physical and intellectual challenges encountered in the Pacific Northwest mountains offer time for reflection and personal growth during activities led by professional mountain guides and naturalists.

Extractions: We provide food that has been chosen for its nutritional value, appeal, and ability to meet the needs of our active youth courses. While taking into consideration ease of preparation and pack-ability, we make every effort to choose meals and snacks that are tasty and satisfying. Most of the food is similar to the type of food you eat at home. We try to eat fresh fruit and vegetables before and after each backcountry section, and we always eat well balanced meals in the field. In general we avoid using freeze dried foods. What type of medical training does staff have? All trip leaders are required to have a Wilderness First Responder (WFR). The WFR certification involves 80 hours of in depth medical training, and is the only program which teaches people specifically how to handle emergencies in the backcountry. Many staff members have EMT certification. All lead staff members have practical field experience handling medical problems in back country settings. As a company, we emphasize the importance of good planning, good judgment, and a conservative approach to potentially risky activities. A conservative approach taken by skilled leaders is the most important factor in preventing student injuries. What about drinking water?

Extractions: In this seminar, we examine theoretical and empirical work on children's development with a focus on their implications for education, including learning in and outside of school. The primary emphasis of the course are Piagetian and Vygotskian perspectives on cognitive development from birth through adolescence. Four topics form the basis of readings, discussion, and assignments: (a) Vygotskian and Piagetian ways of understanding and studying children's development, (b) descriptions of children's developing understanding of various topics (e.g., mathematics, science, the arts, AIDS), (c) children's social and emotional development, and (d) the application of theory and research findings to children's formal and informal education. EDUC 6804: Learning in Informal Educational Settings (Summer 2002) The focus of this advanced seminar is socio-cultural-historical approaches to understanding children's development and learning in school and out-of-school settings. Building on the work of Vygotsky, we examine some of the major concepts in sociocultural theory, including mediation, learning in the zone of proximal development, activity theory, the development of academic and everyday concepts, and the nature of discourse in classrooms and other settings. We apply these concepts to examine issues related to learning in classrooms (e.g., reform-based math and science instruction, group differences in achievement) and children's learning outside of school.
VSO - Opportunities For Graduates skills there are opportunities to teach in Rwanda work load with marking and lessonplanning, and setting science clubs, not to mention school trips and extra http://www.vso.org.uk/graduates/mathsscience.htm
Extractions: There are limited opportunities for graduates of science (especially physics and chemistry) and maths who have an interest in teaching. Recruiting graduates without a teaching qualification enables VSO to meet a larger demand for teachers than would be possible if we exclusively recruited trained teachers. Volunteers must meet the professional requirements set by the government of the country where they are placed, and must also be accepted by the headteacher of their school. In a developing country, where few people have the opportunity of further education, school teachers often do not have formal teaching qualifications. In this context a graduate in a shortage subject like science or maths, who has had the benefit of VSO teaching skills training, can make a valuable contribution to their school. Volunteers teach up to either GCSE or 'A' level Standard, or national equivalents. Subjects will be one or a combination of physics, chemistry, integrated science, biology, maths and occasionally IT. English is the medium of instruction in most schools, although it will be a second or third language to the students, who will need time to get used to your strange accent! You do not need to be a language expert to teach science with VSO, although most volunteers learn enough Swahili, Shona or Chichewa to barter for tomatoes in the market and keep up with staff room gossip.
