| Description | OUR OVERARCHING PROGRAM IS THE HUMANE LIVING PROGRAM, WHICH IS (1) AN INTEGRATED CHARACTER AND HUMANE EDUCATION INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS OF ALL AGES, IN-SCHOOL, AFTER-SCHOOL AND IN SUMMER CAMPS; 2) TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOPS AND HUMANE EDUCATION CONSULTING FOR SCHOOLTEACHERS, LEGAL PROFESSIONALS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT THIS INSTRUCTION INTO CLASSROOM LESSONS; AND 3) HUMANE EDUCATION CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT FOR GRADES K-12.HEART DEVOTED SIGNIFICANT TIME AND ENERGY IN 2010 TO EXPANDING ITS K-12 CURRICULA. THESE NEW LESSONS WERE NOT ONLY IMPLEMENTED DIRECTLY BY HEART'S STAFF OF INSTRUCTORS, BUT ALSO SHARED WITH EDUCATORS TO ASSIST THEM IN INTEGRATING HUMANE EDUCATION INTO THEIR DAILY CLASSROOM LESSONS. WE PREPARED A 20 LESSON ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION ELECTIVE FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CONSISTING OF FIVE PODS OF FOUR INDIVIDUAL LESSONS EACH IN THE FIVE AREAS OF TRANSPORTATION, FOOD, WASTE, AIR AND WATER. THE MAJOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT WE DEVELOPED IN 2010 WAS A COMPREHENSIVE HUMANE EDUCATION ELECTIVE, WHICH HAS BOTH LESSON PLANS AND A STEP-BY-STEP DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES THAT GUIDES TEACHERS THROUGH MULTI-MEDIA, MULTI-MODAL ACTIVITIES. THE ELECTIVE IS GROUPED BY PROGRESSIVELY THEMED PODS THAT BRING STUDENTS ALL THE WAY FROM DEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN TO ADMIRING HEROIC SOULS WHO TEACH OTHERS TO BE HUMANE. IN THE FIRST POD, "INHERENT DIGNITY," THE LESSONS ESTABLISH AND QUESTION THE ROLE THAT HUMANS HAVE COME TO HAVE AMONG ONE ANOTHER, OTHER ANIMALS AND WITH OUR RESOURCES. IN "WHO DECIDES?" THE SECOND UNIT EXPLORES THE DISPARITY IN POWER AND RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, INVESTIGATING THE QUESTION OF WHO DECIDES, WHAT WE CAN EAT, WHO SUFFERS, WHOSE RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED, AND WHOSE AREN'T, THROUGH A VARIETY OF LENSES. IN THE THIRD UNIT, "THE HIDDEN STORY," STUDENTS LEARN TO LOOK CRITICALLY AT MANY OF THEIR DAY-TO- DAY CONSUMER CHOICES TO CONSIDER THE HIDDEN COSTS THESE POSE TO OTHER PEOPLE, OTHER SPECIES AND THE PLANET. IN THE FOURTH POD, "NECESSITY VS. LUXURY," STUDENTS CONSIDER THE TRUE COST OF MATERIAL GOODS. THE FINAL UNIT, "ADVOCACY," EXPLORES HUMANE ENERGIZING STORIES THAT REMIND STUDENTS THAT THEY ARE PARTICIPANTS AS WELL AS OBSERVERS. FOR OUR K-3 CURRICULUM, WE BROADENED THE SECOND EARLY ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM WE DEVELOPED CALLED TAKING CARE OF ANIMALS AND EACH OTHER, WHICH EXAMINES STRATEGIES FOR TAKING CARE OF COMPANION ANIMALS AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLE. WE ADDED AN ANTI-BULLYING COMPONENT AND SESSIONS ON CONFLICT RESOLUTION TECHNIQUES AND ANGER MANAGEMENT. THE ENHANCED PROGRAM INCORPORATES A ONE SESSION SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT INVOLVING LEARNING ABOUT ANIMAL SHELTERS, DISCUSSING THE REASONS THAT DOGS AND CATS END UP IN SHELTERS AND MAKING CAT TOYS FOR SHELTER CATS TO HELP THEM STAY ACTIVE AND HEALTHY. WE WORKED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT A SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOL WITH 7 IN-SCHOOL CLASSES AND ONE 2-HOUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM. THIS ENGAGEMENT RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT ADAPTATION OF OUR CURRICULUM AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CURRICULUM SINCE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AGED STUDENTS WE TAUGHT HAD A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES, INCLUDING LIMITED MOTOR SKILLS, COGNITIVE DELAYS AND INABILITY TO READ, AND DIFFICULTY WITH TASKS THAT INVOLVED ABSTRACT THINKING, UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER, SYNTHESIZING, AND CREATIVITY. THE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT WE DID ON THIS FRONT WAS AN EXCITING CURRICULAR ADVANCEMENT FOR HEART SINCE IT HAS MADE OUR LESSONS EVEN MORE ACCESSIBLE TO A RANGE OF SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS AND MORE SUITABLE FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS AS WELL.EARLY IN 2010 WE ADDED A MAJOR COMPONENT TO OUR CHICAGO PROGRAMMING BY ADDING THE ETHIC PROJECT TO OUR PROGRAM. THE ETHIC PROJECT IS AN AFTER SCHOOL, IN-CLASS WORKSHOP AND SUMMER AND SPRING BREAK PROGRAM FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THAT IS SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION. THE ETHIC PROJECT'S FOCUS IS ON PROJECT-BASED ACTIVITIES WHICH EMPOWER STUDENTS BY HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND THEY CAN CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE WORLD. HEART EXPANDED THE ETHIC PROJECT TO ITS NEW YORK PROGRAMMING AS WELL. | Description |
