Yet, a woman did become king and not just an ordinary king. She became the first great woman in recorded history, the forerunner of such figures as Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, and Catherine the Great. Her name was Hatshepsut and she ruled as pharaoh for fifteen years. Sadly, after her death the Egyptians, who were a deeply conservative people, obliterated her memory so that later pharaohs such as Ramses II and Cleopatra would have been ignorant of her existence.

Our Methods - Keres Children's Learning Center Addressing the Whole Child In the “Giftedness among Keresan Pueblos” study, feedback from elders on the various Keresan pueblos identified four domains of being a “successful pueblo person,” (Romero, 1994): 1) giving from the heart; 2) possessing linguistic abilities; 3) abundant cultural knowledge; 4) the notable ability to create with the hands. “Success” in the Pueblo world is the ability to learn, share, and utilize information for the benefit of the entire community. This philosophy is fundamental to our approach. KCLC also recognizes the importance of a strong academic program. Thus the Montessori Method has been chosen as the framework for educating the “whole child.”

Jim Lavadour, Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts Jim Lavadour has said that he learned how to paint by walking the Blue Mountains between Walla Walla, Washington and Pendleton, Oregon with his father. As a child he was also inspired by his grandmother’s ceiling, with its drips and exposed layers, a visual that would later influence his art. Lavadour grew up on the Umatilla Indian Reservation and as a teen he worked any job he could find.

Blooming Orange: Bloom's Taxonomy Helpful Verbs Poster Here’s another poster to help get you thinking about how you can apply Bloom’s higher-order thinking skills with your children. This poster shows the segments of an orange with each segment relating to a thinking skill and some helpful verbs to serve as prompts. While there are many more verbs that we could have added, we felt that including just seven in each segment would make them easier to remember (For more information, see Miller’s paper “The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information.” We thought it would be interesting to depict the verbs in a circular form as opposed to a hierarchical list, given that these skills don’t often occur in isolation and are interconnected. We went through several concepts including a wheel, a pie, and an apple, but somehow the orange seemed to work best when we put everything together. For those of you who prefer it, we’ve also created a grayscale version of the poster.

James Lavadour / Jeffrey Thomas Fine Art James Lavadour is a painter and printmaker. Co-Founder of the Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts, he is known for creating large panel sets of landscape paintings. Primarily self-taught, Lavadour grew up exploring his environment on the Umatilla Indian Reservation and Western Oregon. His earlier works, reminiscent of German romanticism, displayed what an impact geology and landscape had on his creation process through his own monochromatic abstract lens (he described these works as his Interiors). Described as "emotional interpretations of the land," these Interiors tend to look like painted, hazy photograph-like paintings with streaks of color traveling through them. Rejecting the iconography and symbolism inherent in Western art, Lavadour believes that rather than trying to make his artwork mean something it eventually just became something.

Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".
