The Handwriting on the Wall: Resisting Technoglobalism's Assault on Education By: Langdon Winner (Draft of a chapter published in Tech High: Globalization and the Future of Canadian Education , Marita Moll, ed. (Ottawa: Fernwood Pub., 1997) Judging from recent newspaper headlines as well as the rhetoric of today's political campaigns, evidence of the decline of the middle class in North America has finally become common knowledge. Waves of corporate downsizing have generated agonizing commentaries on the two decade long decline in incomes for blue and white collar workers. By the end of 1994 real wages in the U.S.A. had declined to levels of the late 1950s, a fact that even the booming economy of the middle 1990s has not significantly altered. Faced with layoffs, plant closings and economic upheavals, families and communities confront falling wages and declining prospects. Opportunists on the political right now fan popular fears, pointing to scapegoats immigrants, welfare mothers, government bureaucrats, etc. as the real source of widespread distress. For liberals, the favored response to signs of social unrest is now, as it has always been, to boost economic growth. Alas, that strategy no longer carries the warm glow it had in decades past. For it is increasingly obvious that the material benefits of growth presently flow only to the top twenty percent of the populace; everyone else is sinking. Seizing upon the oxymoron of "corporate responsibility," even conservative politicians feel compelled to address an obvious sickness in democracy: rapidly growing inequality.

68. WESTLAKE EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM may not be the best way to teach a child is fatiguing and inflexible and results in poor handwriting. HOME activities FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINEMOTOR SKILL. http://westlake.k12.oh.us/pupilservices/preschool motor activities.htm

WESTLAKE EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM MOTOR ACTIVITIES FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD TO DO EARLY PRACTICE WITH PENCIL WON'T LEAD TO GOOD HANDWRITING COLUMBUS, Ohio HOME ACTIVITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINE-MOTOR SKILL Children who have delayed development of refined fine-motor ability often avoid paper and pencil tasks due to the fact that they are not successful at them. It is difficult then to structure a child at home to practice these tasks that do not come automatically to him or her. The following suggestions may provide some fun ideas for playing at home, which incorporate the development of hand skills. The following recipe is for homemade Play-Doh. It is stored in an airtight container. This play-doh does not need refrigeration and will last for quite awhile without drying out. 1-cup flour l tbsp. oil 1/2 cup salt 1 tsp. cream of tartar 1 cup water food coloring Directions: Cook on stove until the above combination is the consistency of mashed potatoes. Take off heat. Let cool for a while, and then knead the dough together. Store in airtight container. Play-Doh Activities: 1) Using open hands, teach your child to roll snakes or balls out of dough. This can be done on the table or between two hands. Build snowmen, pinch out the facial features, poke holes with a toothpick, decorate with household items such as paper clips, bottle tops, etc. Teaching a child to learn to apply the appropriate amount of pressure in this type of task may in the long run help the child learn to accommodate hand pressure to other tasks, such as holding a pencil, manipulating small objects, etc.

69. Preschool Class Curriculum prepared the hand for the specific skill of handwriting. Tracing, hole punching, and cutting activities use different We teach cursive and only cursive, as the http://www.meadowmontessori.org/preschool.html

Preschool (Children's House) Practical Life Practical life is the area of the classroom where children learn coordination, confidence, cooperation, independence, and order. These activities include care of self, care of the environment, and physical skills. Care-of-self activities include handwashing, snack preparation, and dressing activities. These activities help the young child gain confidence in him/herself. Care-of-the-environment activities can include plant and animal care, as well as cleaning activities. Sweeping, scrubbing, and polishing all help children learn the importance of order. If steps are done incorrectly, the results can be less than desirable. The area of practical life called "physical skills" incorporates numerous activities. Here children work on pouring, scooping, twisting, lacing, squeezing and pounding just to name a few of the activities. These activities are great for learning coordination skills. The small motor skills are a prerequisite for developing strong capable hands that will be needed for writing activities. The activities in physical skills will vary and meet all abilities and age levels. Let's take a look at "lacing" as one such activity:

(Ex. coffee grinders, animal yokes, ice thongs) Submitted by Mrs. Lee A map of the 50 United States has been drawn and painted on a concrete surface outside. Students walk on each state and name it, spell it, and/or name the state capitals. This can be done in groups, individually, or as a team competition. Submitted by Mrs. Lee, 50 States and their capitals - This is a good site for learning about the different states. Math: String is used with 6th graders to measure distances which are curved. Then, a ruler is used to show how much harder it is to measure the same area which is not straight. Submitted by Mrs. Lee, Classroom Management: To keep up with notes and excuses that students bring I purchased a large portable file folder box. I put hanging folders in the box(1per student). I then put one pocket folder (these work best so notes don't fall out) inside each hanging folder. I put each student's name on one of the tabs of the hanging folder. As student bring excuses or signed discipline forms they are put in that child's folder. When questions come up about a child's absences or their behavior, I just pull out their folder and have information available without having to search. Submitted by Mrs. Angela Crocker

Your JeffcoNet Location is Home School Web Sites Ute Meadows Homework Homework Philosophy Regular school attendance is among the most critical factors contributing to a student's success in school. While our faculty is willing to work hard with students who must be absent, there are some experiences that simply cannot be made up. Help us help your student by ensuring punctual and regular attendance. We believe that homework is an extension of lessons taught. Homework may be given when a student has difficulty with an academic concept, has not completed daily assignments in class, for extra credit, or as a supplement to the curricula. Students have the responsibility for getting assignments in on time. Students who are absent from school will be expected to make up work missed in class. This work will be assigned after a student returns to school. Please do not request work to be taken on vacation. Appropriate time (two days for every day absent) will be provided for students to complete make-up work after they have returned. Teachers will: teach time management skills in regard to long term assignments teach good study habits provide homework for reasons other than punishment or busy work provide assignments that will meet individualized needs provide meaningful feedback regarding homework notify parents if homework is not completed consistently suggest opportunities for extended learning communicate at the beginning of the year or term- type of homework (parent guided or independent)

Attention Deficit Disorder: Suggested Classroom Accommodations For Behavior (From the ADHD Task Force of the Anchorage, Alaska, School District and CASP Today, a publication of the California Association of School Psychologists, 1991) Although the information provided below is designed to be used with students with Attention Deficit Disorders, much of it is useful for student with a wide range of learning disabilities. When you see the following behaviors, try these accommodations: I. Difficulty following a plan (has high aspirations but lacks follow-through), sets out to "get straight As ends up with Es" (sets unrealistic goals). Assist the student in setting long-range goals; break the goal into realistic parts. Use a questioning strategy with the student. Ask, "what do you need to be able to do this?" Keep asking that question until the student has reached an obtainable goal. Have the student set clear tirnelines for what he needs to do to accomplish each step- (Monitor the student s progress frequently.) 2. Difficulty sequencing and completing steps to accomplish specific task, e.g. writing a book report, term paper, organizing paragraphs, division problem, etc.

Then you will know what skills he needs to work on next and be better able to choose the resources you need. This pamphlet includes ideas of what to do while you are waiting for fine motor muscles to develop. It also gives suggestions for teaching handwriting What to Look for in a Handwriting Program: Simple pages that are not cluttered Many letters are one stroke (manuscript letters can be very confusing as to what side to place the ball and stick.) Many families want to use a handwriting font that is the same or similar to that of the other family members. Many children with Down syndrome are able to learn to write in time. It is important to be consistent, teach carefully, and establish good habits from the beginning. Equally important is establishing a good attitude toward handwriting time.

The rips and smears of repeated erasing were all too visible. As I looked over his work, I made notes on his progress: "Matty responds well to an active, bands-on approach. He is a tactile learner who seems to enjoy experiencing new things in the classroom." What Matty clearly did not enjoy was practicing the new cursive letter forms. Laboring to fill his page with "perfect" letters left him restless, frustrated, and unsuccessful. He needed a different approach. How can we simultaneously teach children to copy from a model, while at the same time honoring their individual learning styles? Visual learners, for instance, may respond well to copying from a model, but tactile learners respond well to incorporating their sense of touch, exploring letters through texture and shape. Auditory learners need to hear descriptions of letter formation. Physical learners can better remember letter forms if they experience letters using gross motor movements. Attention to all styles of learning is, as in every area of the curriculum, a necessary part of handwriting instruction.
