The Black Mirror Project – Envisioning The Future of Media Biker gang steps up to help daughter suffering from child abuse We've all been on the road and seen a pack of leather-clad bikers come roaring down the highway. Large and loud, it's hard not to be at least a little intimidated by a menacing-looking group of burly, bearded men on choppers riding past you. If you're lucky, you might even spot a particularly "menacing" group that is earning a name for itself in ways most would never expect from bikers. The group BACA, or Bikers Against Child Abuse, has no intention of striking fear into the hearts of children or mothers. From standing guard outside of a child's home so they can sleep safely at night to escorting them to the courthouse, the bikers are ready at a moment's notice to come to a child's aid should they be called, according to Huffington Post. Uploading... In the case of 10-year-old FA, BACA came to her aid at a time when she was set to testify against her stepfather who had previously abused her.

Bullying: Películas para trabajar en clase El impacto de ver una escena de hostigamiento, donde los jóvenes no estén participando, los hace reflexionar; los chicos aprenden más de lo que ven, de lo que uno les dice. Algunas de las películas que recomendamos pueden ser utilizadas en clase, según la edad. Se pueden ver completas o poner diálogos o pedazos de la película que sirvan como disparadores para reflexionar y hablar del tema en clase. Pueden también utilizarse para realizar talleres de sensibilización en las escuelas o para los padres de familia. Algunas de las películas se las puede ver en familia y tratar el tema en el hogar. Todas son para reflexionar, trabajan la temática del bullying y las relaciones entre pares.

The Seven Best Short Films to Promote Empathy in ELT - Kieran Donaghy Empathy, which has been beautifully defined by Roman Krznaric as “the art of stepping imaginatively into the shoes of another person, understanding their feelings and perspectives, and using that understanding to guide your actions”, may be one of the qualities which distinguishes an average teacher from an excellent teacher in the eyes of the student. I think that empathy is increasingly important in language education as communication requires a sophisticated degree of empathy, in order to communicate effectively, language teachers, teacher trainers and learners needs to be able to understand the other person’s affective and cognitive states. My interest in empathy was sparked by Jill Hadfield’s classic Classroom Dynamics and Earl Stevik’s 1980 masterpiece Teaching Languages: A Way and Ways in which Stevick argues for the importance of affective factors in language teaching and learning. A quote of Stevick’s I always go back to when reflecting on my teaching beliefs is: Moments Stand up
The Best Part of Life - Sistering Recently someone stood up at one of our events and said, G: If you could give women one piece of advice, what would it be? And I said: Sister each other, because Sistering is the best part of life. Then I described what Sistering is, what it looks like and feels like. And my brilliant, generous friends at SALT asked me to repeat what I said: so that every single one of you could hear it. And they made this, which made me laugh and cry and shout: YES! Please take a moment to watch. This is what I want for 2016. **Boys can (and should) sister each other, too! The Best Part of Life by Glennon Doyle Melton from SALT Project on Vimeo.

Florida Teachers Can Now Carry Guns at School Some Florida teachers will be able to carry firearms in the classroom starting Tuesday, the result of a hotly debated law that was approved by the Florida Legislature in May. The law, which gives school districts the option to arm teachers, as well as security guards, was passed in response to the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which left 17 people dead. Teachers will be allowed to carry guns via the Guardian Program, which was created in the wake of the shooting. Currently 39 counties participate in the program, according to the Florida Department of Education. But not all school districts agree that teachers should be armed. The program was established in 2018 as part of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, a Florida bill passed to address gun violence on school campuses. Guardians are volunteers who must pass psychological and drug screening, and complete at least 144 hours of training. Then, Representative Shevrin D.

Great Video On Imagination For TOK Classes: “Yuval Noah Harari: The Rise of Humans” This new video is a great one for showing IB Theory of Knowledge classes when discussing Imagination as a Way of Knowing. In it, Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli historian, talks about imagination being the key to the success of humanity: Related Video: Wow, It Looks Like Pixar's 'Inside Out' Movie Will Be Perfect For IB TOK Classes! As International Baccalaureate Theory of Knowledge teachers know, emotion and imagination are two "Ways Of Knowing" (for people unfamiliar with TOK, the curriculum defines a number of qualities as ways we acquire knowledge, and then divides that knowledge into "Areas Of Knowing" like history, math, etc.).
