Extractions: Human Ecology News Youth Activities Keep Kids Out of Court This is a followup news story from the presentation "Designing Divergence Programs for Adolescents," presented by David Andrews, PhD, at The College of Human Ecology's Risky Behaviors of Adolescents symposium May 7-10, 1997. COLUMBUS, Ohio - Some of the most successful youth diversion programs aren't run through court-appointed programs for juvenile offenders. After school athletics, 4-H and Scout clubs and mentoring programs like Big Brother/Big Sister are what really work, according to an Ohio State University Extension youth development specialist. "The idea of diversion programs is to develop as many hooks as possible that bring adult volunteers and young people together in engaged activities," said David Andrews, who is assistant director of the Ohio 4-H program and a professor in the College of Human Ecology. "If you can design systems that do that, you've gone a long way in terms of diverting people from problem activities." Andrews spoke Friday, May 9, 1997, on "Designing Divergence Programs for Adolescents" during the symposium: "Risky Behaviors of Adolescents: A Symposium Integrating Research, Practice, and Policy."

Where do you turn for help? Your first resource is commonly the faculty at your school. This is, of course, a great place to start. Gordon Uno has provided a new resource that can help you get through this exciting and stressful time and serve as a resource long after you have lost your junior faculty status. Whether you are just starting your science teaching career, or you have been teaching for years, Handbook on teaching undergraduate science courses: a survival training manual is a resource that you will find useful. Uno begins the book with a discussion of teaching philosophy and by defining the characteristics of effective teachers. This discussion is central because most of the students that we see in our introductory courses are non-science majors. To be effective introductory science teachers, we must always keep this in mind. The importance of this fact is highlighted in Uno's discussion of instructional responsibilities and how to design your course.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC The world of a child is the tangible, real world of the here and now. It is difficult for children to extend ideas from the small, familiar world in which they operate to the larger, abstract world beyond. Even adults envision distant parts of the world based on their own experiences and prior learning. Nevertheless, the global concepts of environmental education, the basic principles of ecology, and the importance of environmental responsibility can be instilled in a child without reference to faraway places. These ideas can all be made concrete right where the child lives and goes to school. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ECOLOGY One of the fundamental tenets of ecology is that all activities have by-products. In environmental education, it is understood that this tenet applies to all activities of nature, both natural and human-induced. Some of these by-products are called "pollution." Though pollution tends to have a negative connotation, not all pollution necessarily affects the environment adversely (Botkin and Keller, 1982).
