Book excerpt: Background: Drowning is the leading cause death for children ages 1-4, and second only to motor vehicle crashes for children and youth ages 5-14 (CDC, 2012; 2016). Protecting children and youth from drowning requires a set of water competencies, including, but not limited to, self-rescue, the safe rescue others, and effective prevention (Cummings, Mueller & Quan, 2011; Salomez & Vincent, 2004; Stallman et al., 2017; Thompson & Rivara, 1998;). There is evidence that water safety education can help build the water safety knowledge and skills to bolster these competencies among children and youth (Solomon et al., 2013; Petrass and Blitvich, 2014; Wilks et al., 2015; Turgut, 2016). In Michigan little is known about the water safety education efforts of schools, the water safety knowledge levels of teachers, and teachers' willingness to participate in future water safety education.Purpose: This study aims to, identify the current water safety education and swimming efforts of Michigan K-12 teachers and their schools, identify the water safety knowledge levels of K-12 grade Michigan teachers, and explore the influence of teachers' background factors, water safety knowledge, risk perceptions, past behavior, attitudes (ATT), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC), on intentions (INT) to teach three 30-minute water safety lessons through an extended model of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Methods: To achieve the purposes of this study an online survey was sent at random to over 200 public, private, and charter schools across Michigan resulting in 238 teacher participating in the surveys. Correlations were run between background factors, water safety knowledge and water safety education efforts of teachers and their schools. Teachers' experiences with drowning and rescue, along with their perceptions of Michigan's beach safety flags were explored using content analysis. Finally, a path analysis was utilized to analyze the influence of ATT, SN, and PBC on INT to teach water safety.Results: The final sample of 184 teachers represented over 80 schools, and closely matched the greater population of Michigan teachers. Results revealed that opportunities for students to participate in water safety education and swimming in Michigan schools are extremely limited. Only 13% of schools provide swim lessons, 11% provide water safety education in the classroom, and 3.4% of teachers teach water safety education lessons in the classroom. Although teachers accurately identified effective prevention efforts and drowning risk, they averaged just 50% correct on water safety knowledge questions and had incorrect perceptions of Michigan's beach flags. Teachers had favorable attitudes toward water safety education, yet low INT to teach water safety. The path model based on TPB exhibited excellent fit (RSMEA .000, CFI = 1.000, TLI = 1.000 and SRMR = .000), and SN was found to be the sole predictor of teacher intentions (B .486 p

Download or read book Place and Community Based Education in Schools written by Gregory A. Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Place- and community-based education – an approach to teaching and learning that starts with the local – addresses two critical gaps in the experience of many children now growing up in the United States: contact with the natural world and contact with community. It offers a way to extend young people’s attention beyond the classroom to the world as it actually is, and to engage them in the process of devising solutions to the social and environmental problems they will confront as adults. This approach can increase students’ engagement with learning and enhance their academic achievement. Envisioned as a primer and guide for educators and members of the public interested in incorporating the local into schools in their own communities, this book explains the purpose and nature of place- and community-based education and provides multiple examples of its practice. The detailed descriptions of learning experiences set both within and beyond the classroom will help readers begin the process of advocating for or incorporating local content and experiences into their schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • The dramatic story of the Flint water crisis, by a relentless physician who stood up to power. “Stirring . . . [a] blueprint for all those who believe . . . that ‘the world . . . should be full of people raising their voices.’”—The New York Times “Revealing, with the gripping intrigue of a Grisham thriller.” —O: The Oprah Magazine Here is the inspiring story of how Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, alongside a team of researchers, parents, friends, and community leaders, discovered that the children of Flint, Michigan, were being exposed to lead in their tap water—and then battled her own government and a brutal backlash to expose that truth to the world. Paced like a scientific thriller, What the Eyes Don’t See reveals how misguided austerity policies, broken democracy, and callous bureaucratic indifference placed an entire city at risk. And at the center of the story is Dr. Mona herself—an immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose family’s activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice. What the Eyes Don’t See is a riveting account of a shameful disaster that became a tale of hope, the story of a city on the ropes that came together to fight for justice, self-determination, and the right to build a better world for their—and all of our—children. Praise for What the Eyes Don’t See “It is one thing to point out a problem. It is another thing altogether to step up and work to fix it. Mona Hanna-Attisha is a true American hero.”—Erin Brockovich “A clarion call to live a life of purpose.”—The Washington Post “Gripping . . . entertaining . . . Her book has power precisely because she takes the events she recounts so personally. . . . Moral outrage present on every page.”—The New York Times Book Review “Personal and emotional. . . She vividly describes the effects of lead poisoning on her young patients. . . . She is at her best when recounting the detective work she undertook after a tip-off about lead levels from a friend. . . . ‛Flint will not be defined by this crisis,’ vows Ms. Hanna-Attisha.”—The Economist “Flint is a public health disaster. But it was Dr. Mona, this caring, tough pediatrican turned detective, who cracked the case.”—Rachel Maddow
