principles to increase students' motivation or intent to learn. 

Mastery Teaching Series. 

VTO0003083-1 Getting Students Set To Learn First impressions are important, and the beginning of your class 

is no exception. You have experienced how important first 

impressions of people or places can be and we need to take 

advantage of the learning propulsion inherent in the beginning 

of our class. 

VTO0003084-1 Providing Information Information constitutes the foundation for learning and thinking. 

Without information we can't think, make decisions, solve 

problems, or be creative. 

VTO0003086-1 Modeling 

VTO0003087-1 Making Material Meaningful Meaning is one of the most important propellants of learning. 

Meaning, however, does not exist in material but in the 

relationship of that material to students' past knowledge and 

experience. 

VTO0003088-1 Checking Their Understanding We believe the job of the teacher is to inspire, not perspire. In

being able to do it is the quantum leap in learning. The 

springboard for that leap is developed by guided initial practice 

accompanied by feedback- what needs to be improved and 

how to improve performance. 

Page 7 of 247



VTO0003091-1 Extending Their Thinking The ability to think creatively, to solve problems to make

VTO0003092-1 Dignifying Errors In this chapter, you will learn one way to deal with an incorrect 

answer. The student will learn the correct response, but will not 

feel put down. 

VTO0003093-1 Using Time To Achieve More 

Learning 

Time is the coin of teaching. That's what teachers have to 

spend to 'buy learning.' we can invest time wisely in activities 

that result in students' learning or we can fritter time away on 

inconsequential matters or in waiting. Mastery Teaching Series. 

VTO0003094-1 Teaching So They Remember This chapter will be a useful review on many of the techniques 

you've already learned and as a result your memory of those 

techniques should increase. 

VTO0003095-1 Teaching For Transfer Transfer is one of the most powerful principles of learning. 

Transfer is the process of past learning influencing the 

acquisition of new learning. Transfer is the basis of all creativity, 

problem solving and the making of satisfying decisions. 

Transfer can dramatically shorten or lengthen the time it takes 

to acquire new learning.

New Physics: Newton Revised 

Hosted by James Burke this 10-part series gives the overview 

of the evolution of western thoughts since the days of the 

Greeks. The Greeks had a questioning, rational attitude which 

we have continuted through the centuries in the west. This 

program summarises the series and its thesis that when our 

knowledge changes, we change. Day the Universe Changed, 

the Series. 

After the Roman Empire, the questioning attitude derived from 

the Greeks gave way for centuries to the teachings of St. 

Augustine. Then in the 11th century crusaders invading Spain 

captured from the Arabs a treasure of Greek, Roman and Arab 

scientific knowledge. The discovery of this knowledge led to the 

creation of universitites, revolutionized life in Europe, and 

caused bitter conflict between reason and faith. Day the 

Universe Changed Series. 

Starting when thought was mystical and the earth virtually 

unknown, this program shows the startling changes that grew 

out of the study of Arab optics. From the discovery of 

perspective geometry came new painting, and architecture, the 

ability to measure at a distance, map the world and the 

confidence that allowed columbus to cross the atlantic. Above 

all, new knowledge led to a new individualism. Day the 


In 18th century England, the industrial revolution got its impetus 

from growing wealth and industrious religious dissenters barred 

from all activities but trade. These dissenters, using innovations 

in business and credit, created a new industrial society, based 

chiefly on the steam engine, a dissenter invention. We see the 

growth of urbanization, the factory system, and industrial 

working class, and the exploitation of the planet. Day the 


By the end of the Napoleonic wars, clinical science was 

beginning to replace the ignorance which had always 

characterized medicne. This program looks at the rise of 

modern medicine and public health and their surprising 

relationship to statistics, which doctors learned to apply to 

diseases and epidemics. As medicine became increasingly a 

science, patients became increasingly statistics. Day the 


People believed in the 1700s that all forms of life were 

unchanged since creation. Then the study of geology and 

fossils produced new ideas about change in living things and 

the age of the earth. Wallace and Darwin concluded that 

species envolved to survive in their environments over great 

periods of time. The concept of survival of the fittest was later 

adapted to justify nazism, capitalism and communism. Day the 


Beginning around 1800, the study of electricity, magnetism, 

light and other phenomena led to findings which Newton's 

physics could not explain. Einstein and others sorted the 

scientific puzzles out; the process led scientists to believe that 

one cannot know with certainty what the universe is doing. The 

public, however, thinks science is technology; while most of us 

live in a commonsense Newtonian world, science struggles with 

a world which is relative and uncertain. Day the Universe

VTO0006096-1 Day Universe Changed 10 Changing 

Knowledge, Changing Reality 

The knowledge that people in other eras possessed, and their 

view of the world worked for them. Is moving from one form of 

knowledge to another therefore 'progress'. For today's 

Buddhists of Nepal, their truth is as valid for them as our point 

of view is for us. Our truth, based on our science, will be 

superceded tomorrow as our scientific knowledge changes, so 

perhaps we should all be more tolerant of the point of view of 

others. Day the Universe Changed Series.

The colonists invaded the rainforest in huge numbers in 1980 

were small farmer forced off thier land by increasing 

mechanization and economics of cash croping for export. They 

moved to the area of Rondonia given roughly 175 acres of 

virgin forest free of charge if they cleared it. But the tragic irony 

is that once that was done with no trees the soil became poor 

and they were forced to abandon thier land after just a couple 

of years. Decade of Destruction, the Saga of the Amazon 

Rainforest Series. 

The first nail in the coffin of the rainforest is always a road. First 

comes a surveyor, bulldozers, loggers, small settlements, then 

finally farm families. The best known environmentalist, points 

out the incredible inefficiency of the region's economy which is 

totally dependent on imported energy. The system cannot last, 

the valuable wood will have gone, cattle ranchers are 

unsuccessful,cash crops are vulnerable to diseases, and 60% 

of the land that was cleared is abandoned now. Decade of 

Destruction, the Saga of the Amazon Rainforest Series. 

Indians were not the only inhabitants of the forest. The rubber 

tappers had made peace with the indians and learned the 

necessary survival skills 70 years ago. Their lifestyle can be 

sustained indefinitely in sharp contrast to that of the colonists, 

in some places the rubber tappers organized themselves and 

successfully defended their lands. One of their leaders was 

Chico Mendes. Decade of Destruction, the Saga of the Amazon

It was Brazil's politicains who saw the Amazon as the answer to 

their prayers. Here was the world's richest storehouse of raw 

materials which would help the poor people of Brazil. They took 

it to the world's bank to finance the project known as the 

polonoroeste. Jose Lutzenberger opposed it and took his fight 

to the U. S. Congress. Eventually the world bank was forced to 

admit their mistak but in the meantime hundreds of thousands 

of square miles of rainforest were burned. With the help of 

satellite photographs the helicopers the battle to save the 

heritage of biodiversity and evolution has begun. Decade of

Long-term health, fitness and mental and physical vitality are 

the result of good habits and wise choices, many of which are 

fostered both in the home and in school. While our nation's 

schools focus primarily on academics, children's ability to learn 

is compromised if they aren't well rested, well nourished and fit. 

Research tells that children's nutrition and physical activity have 

a direct impact on academic achievement and positive 

behaviors. Yet, with increasing popularity of processed foods 

and the vast assortment of entertainment technologies, such as 

electronic handheld and computerized games that encourage 

sedentary behavior, more and more youths are adopting

their knowledge, adding new distinctions and making further 

connections. They analyze what they have learned in more 

depth and with more rigor. Activities: comparing, classifying, 

making inductions, making deductions, analyzing errors, 

creating and analyzing support, analyzing perspectives, 

abstracting. Staff Development Series. 

The final aspect of learning is perhaps the most important. It 

concerns the use of productive habits of mind-habits used by 

critical crative, and selfregulated thinkers. Some of these habits 

of mind include: being clean and seeking clarity, being openminded, 

restrain impulsivily, being aware of your own thinking, 

evaluating the effectiveness of your actions, pushing the limits 

of your knowledge and abilities, engaging intensely in tasks 

even when answers or solutions are not immediately apparent. 

Staff Development Series 

Cognitive scientists tell us that the most effective learning 

occurs when students are able to use knowledge to perform 

meaningful tasks. Planning a unit of instruction so that students 

have the opportunity to use knowledge meaningfully is one of 

the most important decisions a teacher can make. There are 

five types of tasks that encourage the student: decision making, 

inquiry, experimental, problem solving, and invention. Staff

This video is a companion piee to be used with the 

Compendium for the Keystone Integrated Framework. The 

project has two main purposes (1) to promote the arts as an 

equal partner with other academic subjects and (2) to 

encourage teacher preparation programs to include instruction 

in the process of curriculum integration. 

Through experimentation, this series will familiarize teachers 

with science and its applications while integrating these ideas 

into the classroom. Lillie Tucker-Akin, nationally recognized 

trainer/teacher, hosts this fun and informative exploration into 

science. A few experiments which will demonstrated are: 

Elephant Toothpaste, Carbon Dioxide that Sings, Girls are 

Physically Stronger than Boys, and the Human Chain of 

Electricity. Footage of students enacting these experiments will 

be included. 

Lillie Tucker-Akin, hosts this fun and informative exploration 

into science as. Specific methods include the following steps: 1) 

Use the discrepant event to bring prior conceptions and 

schemes into the open for study, 2)Help the learner construct 

new knowledge 3) Provide reinforcing opportunities so the 

learner trusts the new knowledge. See part 1 for annotation.

Effective Classroom Management 

Mobility marks a sea change in your baby's development-and in 

your life. He can now get to things that for months he could 

only stare at. He has additional means to satisfy his 

burgeoning curiosity-a critical element in both his mental and 

physical development. He has an expanding world in which to 

test his growing understanding of cause and effect. Growth in 

all three areas (mobility, curiosity, and cause and effect) make 

parenting more challenging and demanding, but also even 

more fascinating. 

This month's program focuses on establishing and maintaining 

effective classroom management. The scenario performed 

takes place in an elementary school classroom. The classroom 

teacher is working with students and a parent volunteer. The 

dynamics between the teacher, volunteer and students are 

explored. By observing the improvisational skits and 

questioning the actions and motives of The Improv Troupe, 

teachers discover and discuss strategies to solve similar issues 

that they may face in their daily classroom environments.

As part of the mix of educational choices available to parents, 

charter schools are becoming an increasingly popular 

alternative to the traditional public school. By definition, charter 

schools have greater freedom from regulations in exchange for 

being held to high standards of accountability. Proponents of 

the charter movement claim that higher standards, parent 

involvement, business and community engagement and greater 

freedom from the educational establishment can result in higher 

achievement for students. Charters, scholarship programs and 

other choice options expanded through the No Child Left 

Behind Act will ultimately promote competition within the public 

school system and encourage all schools to improve. Staff
