Case Study on Skeletal Muscle Physiology

 Case Study on Skeletal Muscle Physiology “Time to scrub in,” says Dr. Hodges. The appendectomy you are about to observe is your second surgical case in surgical technician school. The patient, David Sims, is an 18-year-old male who was healthy until two days ago when he began having severe abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting resulting in a diagnosis of appendicitis. David is in excellent health and has never had surgery before, so you anticipate the procedure to go smoothly.  Your instructor asked the anesthesiologist, Dr. Hodges, if you can observe her today during the procedure. “All of the patient’s vital signs and lab work are within normal limits so we are good to go,” says Dr. Hodges as David is brought into the operating room. You help get David ready by applying the heart monitor, oxygen saturation monitor, and blood pressure cuff. After David has been sedated, Dr. Hodges places a special tube down his esophagus to measure his core body temperature and another in his ...

Play and Risk-taking

 Play and Risk-taking Risk taking is an essential component of the learning process. Children who are encouraged to be actively engaged in learning through playful experiences find out that being "wrong" is an opportunity to learn something new. Learning environments where risk-taking is valued and accepted allow children to think creatively, solve-problems as they arise, and build confidence in their own thinking. If the focus is always on one “right" answer, the learning process is compromised as children thinking is narrowly focused on guessing what the teacher wants to hear. In addition, children may learn to play it "safe" and keep quiet because of the emotional implications of sensing the unpleasant feelings associated with "being wrong." Educators can create and sustain learning environments where children are encouraged to try out new ideas, express their thoughts without the fear of being rejected, and understand that learning is a journey no...

Play as Research

 Play as Research In 1960, Naville Scarfe, who was the Dean of the Faculty of Education at UBC, wrote that, “Play may be described as a spontaneous, creative, desired research activity carried out for its own sake.” In the second reading for this module, Youngquist and Pataray-Ching explore the notion of play as an authentic experience of inquiry. Following this line of thought the goal for the educator becomes sustaining and deepening the possibilities for learning through children’s research. This article will highlight how teachers sustained and deepened the Marcus’s research of the concept of space. Whatsapp +1(815) 406 9011

The Role of the Educator

 The Role of the Educator How an educator relates to play determines the degree to which the educator values and develops play as a worthwhile experience for exploring, studying and even inventing the world in the classroom. What is clear is that educators who actively observe and listen to children learn to inquire into the deeper meanings in children’s experience of play. For example, when observing children’s play with dinosaurs, educatorss may realize that the children are actually pondering questions about power, control, strength, or fear. Teachers who “listen” to play can extend and complicate the processes of meaning making along side children. Elizabeth Wood studied teachers’ perspective on children’s play in the classroom for many years. She critiques the common assumption that children simply learn through play. She says, "while playing with materials in the water tray may enable children to observe that objects behave in different ways, they will not spontaneously lear...

Complicating the Notion of Play

 Complicating the Notion of Play More recently, ECE scholars moved from categorizing play, or from trying to find the “nature” of play itself, to thinking about play in context and in relation to issues of power, gender, social positioning, cultural diversity, technology, consumerism, assessment, learning and thinking. In their book The Trouble with Play, the authors Susan Grieshaver and Felicity McArdele (2011), take a critical perspective on play, they argue that play is not always "innocent and fun" (p.1). They add that play should be thought of as political and that it needs to be evaluated from an ethical, not only educational perspective. Contemporary scholars challenged educators to think about play as a complex phenomenon and while play may be a universal phenomenon, it carries diverse meanings in different social, cultural and political contexts.

The two generation cut-off clause.

The two generation cut-off clause. No need to send in the cavalry with guns blazing. Legislation will do just as nicely. And right now about 50 percent of status Indians are marrying non-status folk. No one knows for sure how long it will take, but according to John Borrows and Leroy Little Bear, two of Canada’s leading Aboriginal scholars and teachers, if this rate holds steady, in fifty to seventy-five years time there will be no status Indians left in Canada. We’ll still have the treaties and we’ll still have treaty land held in trust for status Indians by the government. We just won’t have any Indians. Legally, that is. So, as the Ducks would say, what is it about us that you don’t like? (King, 2003, “The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative.”) Whatsapp +1(815) 406 9011

A Native Narrative

 A Native Narrative The following is an excerpt from Thomas King's The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative, an analysis of the Federal Government’s attempt to eliminate status Indians. There is a link below to the whole narrative. This piece was produced for the CBC Massey Lectures and it illustrates a colonial practice of extinguishing status, rights and treaty agreements through the intergenerational “cut-off” clause. In 1985, Bill C-31 amended the Indian Act, in part to redress the discrimination against Native women. Prior to C-31 any Indian woman who married a non-Indian or a non-Status man automatically lost her status, as did any children. The same was not true for Indian men. If they married a non-Indian or a non-status Indian, the (non Aboriginal) woman gained status, as did her children. Bill C-31 allowed Native women who had lost status because of the Indian Act to regain status, along with their children. And in that respect, the Bill was a great success. Since the ...

Elders Play an Important Role

 Elders Play an Important Role At the Katl'odeeche First Nation Children's Centre, Elders play an important role in passing along beliefs and values. "One Elder comes to the centre and brings her sewing or beading. The children will climb up into her lap to watch or to be comforted. Some of them are learning to bead themselves. Another Elder who does yard work at the centre is a trapper. Sometimes he brings in the animals he has caught so that the children can see them and learn about them. We also have an Elder who comes to our centre to cook traditional meals", says Elaine Rene-Tambour. Rene-Tambour says that her community is proud of what the children in the centre have learned. "Everyone notices the difference in these children. At community feasts, they know the rules and etiquette of the drum. They are able to speak South Slavey with the Elders. Teachers at the school tell us that our children are calm and confident when they start school”. Rene-Tambour say...

Indigenous Solutions for Indigenous Children

Indigenous Solutions for Indigenous Children The key to fostering identity is to have Indigenous communities develop solutions that they know will work best for their children. Some communities have set up parent circles where parents can gather to share experiences and learn from each other. Others have volunteers who visit the homes of new parents to give them advice and support. Successful programs that serve Indigenous families focus on the parents' strengths rather than their weaknesses. A program run by the Métis Nation of Ontario supports Aboriginal parents by matching them up with other parents in the community. The Lay Home Visitors program brings people from the communities who have parenting experience into the homes of families with young children. The home visitors are trained in supporting families and promoting child development. They work with families to build on their strengths, develop their parenting skills and help them connect to community resources. Indigenou...

Given that identity is such an important aspect of Indigenous culture, it's no wonder that certain historical events have been so devastating

Restoring identity Given that identity is such an important aspect of Indigenous culture, it's no wonder that certain historical events have been so devastating. From the turn of the century until the mid-1970s, tens of thousands of Indigenous children were moved far from their families to residential schools. The aim of the schools was to educate and assimilate the children and the results were disastrous. The stories of emotional and physical abuse are well documented but there were also other types of damage. Children were forbidden to speak their traditional languages or to practice traditional customs. They were made to feel that their way of life was "primitive" or "sinful." For many, the most vivid lessons they learned were disdain for their peoples' way of life, and disconnectedness from their communities. Another unfortunate legacy of the residential schools is that their students later became parents without having role models for traditional child...

A Cultural Program for Children

 A Cultural Program for Children Every day, 10 to 20 toddlers and preschool children gather at the Katl'odeeche First Nation Children's Centre on the Hay River Dene Reserve, Northwest Territories. They are learning South Slavey, the language originally spoken on the reserve. They make crafts and sing songs based on legends and traditional life. They learn about local ceremonies and take part in community events. Culture and language are interwoven into every activity. Elaine Rene-Tambour, coordinator of the centre, has been working in childcare for 35 years. She says she's convinced that the centre is making a difference to the children involved. "The children are excited and proud to be speaking South Slavey and learning about their culture". The Katl'odeeche Centre is part of a larger movement in Indigenous communities across the country. Child development experts know that children with positive self-identity are more likely to grow up healthy and Indigenou...

An Indigenous Perspective on Attachment and Connectedness

 An Indigenous Perspective on Attachment and Connectedness Attachment theory, with its focus on the mother/child dyad is limited in terms of Indigenous family structures. Overgeneralizations about attachment theory (and brain development) are sometimes misapplied and used against Indigenous mothers in child welfare situations. For example, if a child is placed in government care for a temporary period while a mother is experiencing some life challenges, visits with the mother are sometimes attenuated while the child is encouraged to bond with new and perhaps temporary caregivers. When the child bonds with the non-Indigenous family, social workers often make the case that this new relationship should take precedence and that the birth mother is not able to care for the child, often due to poverty, isolation or perhaps due to paternal violence. In many cases, Indigenous mothers are not supported and colonial biases are applied against them. This topic can be explored further, along w...

History of the NCO 1700: Valley Forge

History of the NCO 1700: Valley Forge After a disappointing fall campaign that ended with a British Army occupying Philadelphia, George Washington cast about for winter quarters for his troops. He found a site among the thickly wooded hills around Valley Forge. The American camp lay somewhat to the north but within easy striking distance of the main road from Philadelphia to York, where the Continental Congress had taken refuge. This allowed his army to provide protection for the revolution’s governing body. Valley Forge lay in a rich agricultural region that the contending armies had picked over extensively during the previous years. (Stewart, R. W., (Ed.). (2009). American Military History Volume I, The United States Army Forging of a Nation, 1775 – 1917. Washington, D.C.: Center of Military History.) When the 12,000 poorly fed, ill-equipped Continentals, weary from long marches, had staggered into Valley Forge, only about one in three had shoes, and many of their feet had left blood...
