curriculum. Service learning is NOT community
service. Attend this one-day workshop for an
introduction to service learning, and go home with a
plan for your next service learning project.

How William Shatner Changed the World
Some of you probably saw a program on
the History Channel last week: "How William Shatner Changed the World" (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=686mxtbab.0.opvextbab.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.historychannel.com%2Fspace%2Fsweeps%2F). I
watched it, and was
impressed with the people interviewed who were so
influenced and inspired by Star Trek that they
devoted to their lives to careers, research and
inventions that really did change the world.
Astronauts and other NASA scientists;
Professor Stephen Hawking (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=686mxtbab.0.ppvextbab.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hawking.org.uk%2Fhome%2Fhindex.html); Dr. Seth Shostak (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=686mxtbab.0.qpvextbab.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seti.org%2Fsite%2Fpp.asp%3Fc%3DktJ2J9MMIsE%26b%3D277807),
Senior Astronomer at SETI (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=686mxtbab.0.rpvextbab.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seti.org%2Fsite%2Fpp.asp%3Fc%3DktJ2J9MMIsE%26b%3D178025); Marty
Cooper, a chief engineer at Motorola; brilliant minds
from Silicon Valley, and more!
It occurred to me
that this could be the theme of a unit. The
possibilities for Expert Groups in this study would
include:
* Cell phones
* Computers
* Medical technologies
* SETI Program
* Space Exploration
* Transporters
* Warp Drive
Each of these areas is summarized with a timeline on
the Discovery Channel (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=686mxtbab.0.spvextbab.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.discoverychannel.ca%2Fon_tv%2Fhow_shatner%2Fshatner_home%2F)web
site. Not only could you pull out strands related to
ALL THE DISCIPLINES, from physics and calculus to
literature and media literacy, this would be a great
way to get our students to start thinking about the
possibilities for their future, and the role they could
play in creating it.
Other areas to study related to the Star Trek series
would include multilculturalism; sexism and feminism;
prejudice (racial, religious, etc.), militarism and
peace; and other social issues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On-Site Professional Development
We are now scheduling on-site professional development (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=686mxtbab.0.pdvnn7n6.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.21stcenturyschools.com%2FOn-Site.htm) for
spring, summer and fall. Please
reserve your dates for on-site workshops now to
ensure getting the best dates for your campus or
district.
Contact us today by email (mailto:On-Site@21stCenturySchools.com)or by
phone at 512-837-7026.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Low Performing Schools
If your school has been designated as a Low
Performing School, or is in danger of being designated
as such, we can help. Let us bring you the
professional staff development and curriculum design
to turn your school around. We can bring your staff
the specific classroom and curriculum design
strategies to make real change and bring your test
scores up!
A growing body of research indicates that
a rigorous, relevant curriculum which is project-
based will increase student motivation, student
learning, and therefore, student test scores. Test
prepping should NOT be your focus. Let us help you
turn the situation around today!
Contact us . . . (mailto:LowPerforming@21stCenturySchools.com)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Smaller Learning Communities
Among several important factors required for success
with smaller learning communities, professional staff
development and curriculum design are imperative.
Research clearly demonstrates that achievement
increases when students attend small schools which
utilize performance-based assessments and an
interdisciplinary, "less is more" curriculum focused on
inquiry and intellectual skills.
If you are in the process of establishing SLCs, or
Smaller Learning Communities, you know that
professional staff development and curriculum design
are two vitally important factors in the success of
your SLC. We can help you make your SLC a
success!

Low Performing Schools
</font>
<p >If your school has been designated as a Low
Performing School, or is in danger of being designated
as such, we can help. Let us bring you the
professional staff development and curriculum design
to turn your school around. We can bring your staff
the specific classroom and curriculum design
strategies to make real change and bring your test
scores up!</p>
<p >A growing body of research indicates that
a rigorous, relevant curriculum which is project-
based will increase student motivation, student
learning, and therefore, student test scores. Test
prepping should NOT be your focus. Let us help you
turn the situation around today!

Smaller Learning Communities
</font>
<p >Among several important factors required for success
with smaller learning communities, professional staff
development and curriculum design are imperative.
Research clearly demonstrates that achievement
increases when students attend small schools which
utilize performance-based assessments and an
interdisciplinary, "less is more" curriculum focused on
inquiry and intellectual skills.</p>
<p >If you are in the process of establishing SLCs, or
Smaller Learning Communities, you know that
professional staff development and curriculum design
are two vitally important factors in the success of
your SLC. We can help you make your SLC a
success!
