Recommended Reading: The Next Version of You, 20 Opportunities to Transform Yourself While Teaching
Course Abstract:
Both Life Skills and STEM topics that keep you current in science, while serving as inspiration to affect character, social emotional learning, and well-being.
Course Outline:
Introduction
The topics in the Life Skills portion of the course are as follows.
1 ... Getting Back Up Is What We Do Best
2 ... Letting Go of the Old
3 ... Leaving Former Scripts Behind
4 ... You Are Not a Victim of Your Genes
5 ... Meditation
6 ... Resilience in Returning to Yourself
7 ... Reaching Out in Prayer
8 ... Turning
The topics in the STEM portion of the course were as follows.
Introduction
Chapter 1 ... Observation versus Analysis [Becoming a great observer is so much more than being a good scientist.]
Chapter 2 ... You Are Your Own Best Teacher [The mechanics of the laws of nature versus the wonder engendered by natural laws. Fostering genuine awe versus critical thinking only.]
Chapter 3 ... The Nature of Science [Social and psychological implications of how we teach, viewed through the lens of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).]
Chapter 4 ... Thermodynamics [Laws of thermodynamics, expansion / contraction / density / weight. Aristotle's four elements.]
Chapter 5 ... Interrogation versus Observation [Examining the pervasive role of technology versus the transformational role of the human senses.]
Chapter 6 ... Friction [Without friction, everything would fall apart. The same is true for social, emotional relationships and learning.]
Chapter 7 ... The Psychological Handling of Spacetime [Implications of physicality.]
Chapter 8 ... Fire & Desire [The biology, chemistry, and physics of flame and fire as related to the psychology behind intention and wishing.]
Chapter 9 ... Gravity [Gravity seen as a force versus Einstein’s geometry of curved space in The Theory of Relativity. ]
Chapter 10 ... The Scientific Method [Galileo’s historic attempt to bring new ideas using the scientific method. How modern science is based on physical evidence.]
Chapter 11 ... How to Make a Transformational Lesson [Properties of carbon dioxide and its role in the interplay between humankind and nature’s plants.]
Chapter 12 ... Naming, Categorizing & Labeling [Using a holistic approach to teach the chemistry of bread to offset the need of STEM disciplines to differentiate parts of nature into categories.]
Chapter 13 ... The Woods Are On Fire! [The biochemistry of organic matter and minerals undergoing oxidation & breathing, followed by the engineering and physics of metals.]
Chapter 14 ... The Mathematics of Trees [The proportions of water, carbon dioxide, and minerals that make up the matter in a tree.]
Chapter 15 ... Nature Favors Balances [The lime cycle. Proportions of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium in the earth. The balance of acids, bases, and salts.]
Chapter 16 ... The Scientist-Artist [Can technology imitate nature? Art imitates nature. If engineering innovations could increasingly become artistic they might transform civilization as we know it.]
Chapter 17 ... Carbon-Based Life Forms [The organic biochemistry of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the symbiotic actions of photosynthesis.]
Chapter 18 ... The Physics of Trees [Theories of how sap rises, and plants grow upwards.]
Chapter 19 ... The Mathematics and Science of Wonderful Water! [Water's molecular geometry and other synergetic properties it exhibits.]
Chapter 20 ... The Test of a Real Scientist [Good Science = Good Observation]

John likes to work in the background and let good ideas speak for themselves. He believes that children, and sometimes adults, know what they want and that they empower themselves when they listen to their hearts.
In the 80s and 90s, he consulted on adult education in the corporate world to Fortune 500 companies. He has taught every age group from pre-school to adult and every type of student from emotionally disturbed to gifted in public and private schools as well as state prisons. He has taught in Shanghai to Peewaukie - New York City to San Francisco. His recent books include: 20 Opportunities to Transform Yourself While Teaching, Bickart's Just-in-Time Fables, The Next Version of You. |
