Abstract:

Peer-led interventions may be an effective means of addressing the childhood obesity epidemic; however, few studies have looked at the long-term sustainability of such programs. As part of a multilevel obesity prevention intervention, B’More Healthy Communities for Kids, 16 Baltimore college students were trained as youth-leaders (YLs) to deliver a skill-based nutrition curriculum to low-income African American children (10-14 years old). In April 2015, formative research was used to inform sustainability of the YL program in recreation centers. In-depth interviews were conducted with recreation center directors ( n = 4) and the YLs ( n = 16). Two focus groups were conducted with YLs ( n = 7) and community youth-advocates ( n = 10). Barriers to this program included difficulties with transportation, time constraints, and recruiting youth. Lessons learned indicated that improving trainings and incentives to youth were identified as essential strategies to foster continuity of the youth-led program and capacity building. High school students living close to the centers were identified as potential candidates to lead the program. Based on our findings, the initial intervention will be expanded into a sustainable model for implementation, using a train-the-trainer approach to empower community youth to be change agents of the food environment and role models.

Abstract:

This article examines the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering a community-based health education workshop to promote positive health behaviors for breast cancer survivors in a predominately rural 13-county region in North Carolina. Curriculum was based on an existing 20-week center-based exercise and recreation therapy program for breast cancer survivors, and it relied on interagency cooperation for promotion and delivery of the intervention. Evaluation of success was based on attendance, ability of participants to demonstrate appropriate health behaviors, and self-reported changes in health behaviors. Challenges and strategies related to partnering with community agencies and generating attendance are discussed. The authors contend that a community-based workshop supported by multiple agencies can be effective in enhancing health-related knowledge and behaviors for breast cancer survivors.

Abstract:

There is a significant evidence base for the Diabetes Prevention Program, a lifestyle intervention to prevent onset of type 2 diabetes among high-risk individuals; however, translation of this intervention for men has been challenging. This report presents outcomes of the pilot study of an adapted 16-week diabetes prevention program entitled “ Power Up for Health.” The study goal was to better engage men of color with prediabetes from disadvantaged neighborhoods of New York City. It was implemented at five different recreation centers located in predominantly low-income neighborhoods across New York City. The curriculum was facilitated by male lifestyle coaches only; one group was conducted in Spanish. Primary outcome was weight loss from baseline to 16 weeks. Other measures included lifestyle activities, depressive symptoms, and self-reported health status. Men ( N = 47) were screened by telephone. Of the 29 eligible men who began the program, 25 attended at least 4 sessions (52% non-Latino Black, 32% Latino, mean age 51.7 ± SD 9.9 years, mean body mass index 35 ± SD 6.9 kg/m2). End of program outcomes ( n = 23) varied by site and included a mean weight loss of 3.8% (9.7 lbs); 3 of the 5 sites had a mean weight loss of 5.6%, meeting the national goal of 5%–7%. Men ( n = 23) attended a mean of 11.6 of 16 sessions. Improvement in depressive symptoms, healthy eating and exercise, and health status were also seen. While recruitment was challenging with many lessons learned, the adapted men’s diabetes prevention program shows promise of success for participants and their coaches.

Abstract:

Este trabajo se suscribe al paradigma critico reflexivo de la investigación educativa; y tiene como objetivo: identificar las carencias y fortalezas de la implementación de la asignatura Educación Física, Deportes y Recreación en Ecuador, analizarlas en su contexto y plantear alternativas de éxito. Participan setecientas personas entre estudiantes de primaria, secundaria y universidad, padres y madres de familia, y docentes en actual ejercicio profesional, quienes fueron seleccionados al azar de 45 centros escolares públicos y privados localizados en la provincia de Manabí, Ecuador. Se aplica el Cuestionario Análisis de la Satisfacción en Educación Física, y el Modelo de Competencias Docentes de Marchesi. Entre los hallazgos se revelan niveles insuficientes en la satisfacción de las expectativas de estudiantes, padres y madres de familia respeto a las prácticas deportivas ejecutadas en los centros escolares participantes. Además, la autoevaluación de competencias docentes reveló una tendencia hacia el nivel bajo en la mayoría de las categorías estudiadas; resultados que coinciden con las observaciones de clase ejecutadas. Los resultados permiten inferir que para superar las actuales limitaciones se debe trabajar respecto al mejor conocimiento de la política pública respecto a educación, la motivación a la enseñanza, y la innovación curricular. Se concluye que la asignatura Educación Física, Deportes y Recreación impartida en los centros de educación básica y secundaria de Ecuador; puede ser positivamente transformada mediante el fortalecimiento de las competencias de los docentes y potenciada por medio de la participación comprometida de padres y madres de familia.Abstract. This work belongs to the reflexive critical paradigm of educational research, and aims to identify the shortcomings and strengths of the implementation of the subject Physical Education, Sports, and Recreation in Ecuador; analyze them based on their context; and propose successful alternatives. Participants were seven hundred students from primary and secondary education and university, as well as parents and teachers in current professional practice, who were randomly selected from 45 public and private schools located in the province of Manabí, Ecuador. The Satisfaction Analysis Questionnaire in Physical Education was applied, together with the Teacher Competencies Model of Marchesi. Among the main findings, insufficient levels of satisfaction of students’ and parents’ expectations are shown in regard to sports practice carried out at the participating schools. In addition, the self-evaluation of teaching competencies revealed a tendency toward the low levels in most of the categories studied; results that are confirmed by data from the observation of classes. These results allow us to infer that we should work on improving the knowledge of public administration regarding education, motivation to teaching, and curricular innovation, so to overcome the current limitations. Physical Education, Sports, and Recreation subject taught in the Ecuadorian education centers can be positively transformed by strengthening teachers’ competences, as well as it can be enhanced through a more committed participation of students’ parents.

Abstract:

RESUMEN La disciplina Estudios Literarios forma parte del currículo propio de la carrera Licenciatura en Educación Primaria que se estudia en las universidades de Cuba. Mediante esta disciplina se pretende acercar a los futuros maestros de la enseñanza primaria al mundo de la creación literaria, para que desarrollen habilidades de apreciación y análisis literario que les permitan la selección y estudio de textos con verdaderos valores éticos y estéticos, tanto para su recreación personal como para su labor pedagógica. El análisis histórico de dicha disciplina, el intercambio con profesores de diferentes centros universitarios del país que la han impartido y sus respectivos jefes, la observación de la práctica educativa y la propia experiencia de la autora como profesora de diferentes asignaturas literarias por más de 20 años, permitió constatar que no existe claridad por parte de los profesores que imparten las asignaturas literarias con relación a los fundamentos gnoseológicos, psicológicos y didácticos que intervienen en su enseñanza. En correspondencia con ello, la presente investigación tiene como propósito explicar dichos fundamentos, destacando leyes, principios, y conceptos en que se sustenta el estudio de una obra literaria, los procesos psíquicos fundamentales que intervienen en ellos y las etapas, desde el punto de vista didáctico, por el que transcurre.Palabras clave: Apreciación literaria, Enseñanza de la literatura, Análisis literario, Teoría literaria, Proceso docente educativo.Knowledge, psychological and didactic rationale of teaching literature ABSTRACT The Literary Studies discipline is part of the curriculum of the Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education studied at universities in Cuba. This discipline is intended to bring future teachers of primary education to the world of literary creation developing skills for appreciation and literary analysis that allow selecting and studying texts with true ethical and aesthetic values, both for their personal recreation as for their pedagogical work. The historical analysis of this discipline, exchange with teachers from different university centers of the country that have taught it and their respective leaders, observation of the educational practice, and the author’s own experience as a teacher of different literary subjects for more than 20 years, have showed that teachers who teach literary subjects do not have clear concepts in relation to knowledge, psychological and didactic rationale intervening in their teaching. Correspondingly, the purpose of this research paper is to explain these rationale by highlighting laws, principles, and concepts that underlie the study of a literary work, the fundamental psychic processes involved in it, and, from the didactic point of view, the stages through which it takes place.Keywords: Literary appreciation, Teaching literature, Literary analysis, Literary theory, Teaching process.

Abstract:

College recreation facilities have served a role of providing students an outlet for recreation and wellness activities. New facilities provide campuses state-of-the-art, modern equipment and venues for programming. Old and outdated facilities are sometimes seen as a detriment to a campus as it relates to recruitment of new students. Colleges and universities with newer facilities flaunt these buildings in an attempt to boost or sustain enrollment numbers. This study attempts to draw some parallel to the age of a college recreation center and enrollment numbers.

Abstract:

Physical activity is a critical factor in preventing obesity and other chronic illnesses. African American women experience higher rates of physical inactivity than the general population. As a key figure in the family, African American mothers should model healthy behaviors to the family, especially their children. This qualitative study explored the physical activity attitudes of African American mothers who frequently visit a recreation center in the Columbus, Ohio, area. The research questions focused on the possible barriers and motivators for physical activity engagement. The theory of planned behavior, which emphasizes behaviors, intentions, and attitudes when exploring health behaviors, guided the study. Purposeful sampling was applied to recruit a sample of 17 African American mothers over the age of 18 from 5 recreation centers. Participants who met inclusion criteria participated in a semi-structured one-on-one interview. Data were analyzed by hand coding and NVivo to capture and analyze themes, including (a) physical movement, (b) physical health, (c) environment, (d) schedule, (e) physical appearance, and (f) well-being. The findings indicated that African American mothers are aware of the value of physical activity for themselves and their families. However, personal responsibilities may prevent them from engaging in regular physical activity. The study contributes to social change by providing community center directors and public health professionals with information that they can use to create more culturally sensitive physical activity interventions.

Abstract:

Although sea bathing is a typical marine recreation, the annual number of people participating in sea bathing has drastically declined from 120 million people (i.e., equivalent to the total population of Japan) at its peak, to 20 million people. Similarly, the ownership of pleasure boats, which once peaked at 440,000, has been declining over the years. Marinas are particularly important for their function as centers of sport fishing, which is the second most popular marine recreation after sea bathing. There are about 520 marinas in Japan, of which about one quarter are public marinas. The rise and fall of public marinas greatly affects not just the decline of the user population but also the economic activity of the surrounding regions. The present study focused on public marinas, which hold central importance among marine recreational facilities. Measures for revitalizing public marinas are discussed from a comprehensive perspective.

Abstract:

The search for comfort in users is a priority objective in technical schools focused on spaces design. The use of spaces can be for residential, commercial or entertainment activities. It is a common mistake to consider that comfort is achieved exclusively through the analysis of the interior space, since it is also necessary to consider the relationship between the space and the surrounding environment, because it is affected by environmental variables such as radiation, wind, humidity, noise, etc. The change of these variables throughout the day influences the interior conditions of the spaces and in general, is needed to incorporate artificial systems to compensate the external climatological conditions (thermal machines, light sources, etc.). Grade students, in design schools acquire, throughout the curriculum, knowledge in relation to the limits of comfort required for interior spaces. In the last academic year of the degree in Architecture, students have sufficient capacity to be able to detect the fluctuations that occur in the variables of the external environment by measuring temperature and humidity with DATALOGGER, equipment capable of recording data over time or in relation to the location using its own sensors or externally connected, as well as the value of the light level with LUXOMETERS, which are instruments that measure the real and not subjective illuminance of an environment. On the other hand, students are also able to evaluate the quality of the indoor environment, detecting whether or not there is a difference with the outdoor environment and assessing, for each orientation, the need for protection against radiation, (possible incorporation of tree mass, etc.). The protocol for developing the work proposal is established with measurements at the beginning of the course (winter period), later in spring and at the end of the course (beginning of summer). For each space analyzed (indoor and outdoor), measurements are carried out three times a day (early in the morning, at noon and in the evening). With the data obtained in different moments of the day and stationary situations, students must be able to select the most suitable protection devices for the building under analysis (vegetation, canopies, etc.).

Abstract:

Abstract Most collaborations between academia and industry involve industry funded and defined research projects. There are, however, many more opportunities for activities that lead to a stronger partnership that benefits both. Moving from individual projects to a wider collaboration aligned along industry needs and academic strengths, to form academic centers of excellence provides a more involved collaboration. This paper provides an example of how companies can become more than a research partner but, instead, can get involved in the curriculum and educational efforts of the academic partner.

Abstract:

The University College Cork (UCC) Open Arboretum Project aims to re-imagine the original purpose of the University’s tree collection – as a teaching tool. The arboretum represents a unique on-campus learning space which has been under-utilised for teaching in recent times. The arboretum has the capacity to engage students, staff and visitors in a tangible way with important global issues (e.g. the climate emergency and biodiversity loss). It is also an opportunity to combat ‘plant blindness’, i.e. the ambivalence shown to plants in our environment compared to often charismatic animal species. Wandersee and Schussler (1999) coined the term “plant blindness” to describe the preference for animals rather than plants that they saw in their own biology students. Knapp (2019) has argued that, in fact, humans are less ‘plant blind’ and more ‘everything-but-vertebrates-blind’ with school curricula and television programming over-emphasising the role of vertebrates at the expense of other groups of organisms. Botanic gardens and arboreta have long been used for educational purposes. Sellman and Bogner (2012) have shown that learning about climate change in a botanic garden led to a significant shortterm and long-term knowledge gain for high-school students compared to students who learned in a classroom setting. There is also evidence that learning outside as part of a science curriculum results in higher levels of overall motivation in the students and a greater feeling of competency (Dettweiler et al., 2017). The trees in the UCC collection, like other urban trees also provide a range of benefits outside of the educational sphere. Large, mature trees, with well-developed crowns and large leaf surface area have the capacity to store more carbon than smaller trees. They provide shade as well as food and habitats for animal species as well providing ‘symbolic, religious and historic’ value in public common spaces. Such benefits have recently been summarised by Cavender and Donnolly (2019) and aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities by Turner-Skoff and Cavender (2019). A stakeholder survey has been conducted to evaluate how the tree collection is currently used and a tour of the most significant trees in the collection has been developed. The tour encourages participants to explore the benefits of plants through many lenses including recreation, medicine and commemoration. The open arboretum project brings learning beyond the classroom and acts as an entry point for learning in a variety of disciplines, not least plant science and environmental education generally.

Abstract:

В статье рассматриваются аспекты рекреационного освоения Ливадийского хребта в контексте его экологического состояния. Ливадийский хребет является популярным туристическим направлением Приморского края. В определенные дни на горе Ливадийская, также известной как Пидан, или на пути к Смольным водопадам можно насчитать свыше тысячи человек. Пиковые значения обычно приходятся на вторую половину сентября начало октября. У подножия Литовки (второе название Фалаза) выстроено множество баз отдыха вблизи горнолыжной трассы, позволяющих принять значительное количество туристов. По результатам многолетних наблюдений отмечается устойчивая тенденция к росту потока рекреантов. Западный тысячник Лысый Дед также может привлечь туристов как минимум обломками самолетов, разбившихся на его склонах, но слабая транспортная доступность ограничивает приток туристов. Рост потока отдыхающих при слаборазвитой туристской инфраструктуре оказывают неблагоприятное воздействие на ландшафты хребта. Замусоривание, разрушение почвенного и вытаптывание растительного покровов лишь часть существующих проблем. Более существенной проблемой являются пожары, приходящие преимущественно с прилегающих сельскохозяйственных угодий. Так, с выгоревшей микробиотой в привершинной части г. Литовка в 2019 году явно потеряла в эстетичности и пейзажном разнообразии. Решению существующих и предупреждению развития новых проблем может помочь создание ЮжноПриморского (или Ливадийского) национального парка. Этот вопрос разрабатывается разными авторами с 80х годов прошлого века. Предложения охраны территории включали различные формы от охраны отдельных вершин до создания национального парка. Именно последнее, по мнению авторов данной работы, поможет лучше всего сохранить природу хребта, оставляя возможность жителям и гостям края получить удовольствие от отдыха на его территории. Экологическую нагрузку также позволит снизить создание и оборудование экологической тропы. Основываясь на примерах российской и зарубежной практики, предлагается маршрут под названием Большая Ливадийская тропа длительностью в несколько дней с посещением наиболее интересных и доступных мест хребта. Широкий обзор с вершин, скалыостанцы, водопады, разнообразие пейзажей, уникальная флора и фауна, а также наилучшая среди горных территорий края транспортная доступность все это делает Ливадийский хребет перспективным объектом для дальнейшего развития туризма, но уже сейчас настойчиво требует более бережного отношении к окружающей среде.The article presents the issues of recreational development and ecological conditions of the Livadijskij Ridge. Livadijskij is a popular tourist destination of Primorskij Krai. On the mountain Livadijskaya also known as Pidan on certain days you can count more than a thousand people. At the foot of Litovka (second name is Falaza) built many recreation centers, allowing to take a significant number of tourists. According to the results of longterm observations, there is a tendency to increase the flow of people. The growth of the flow of tourists with underdeveloped tourist infrastructure have an adverse impact on the landscapes of the ridge. Littering and destruction of soil are only part of existing problems. A more significant problem is fires coming mainly from adjacent agricultural land. The creation of national park Livadijskij can help to solve existing problems and prevent the development of new ones. This question has been researched by different authors since 80s of the last century. Proposals for the protection of territory included various forms. According to the authors of this article, the creation of a national park will be the best option. It will help to preserve the nature of the territories, leaving the opportunity for residents and guests of the region to enjoy the rest on the ridge. The ecological load will also be reduced by the creation and equipment of the ecological trail. Based on the examples of Russian and foreign practice, we propose a route called the Great Livadijskij trail. A wide view from the peaks, waterfalls, unique flora and fauna and a variety of landscapes all this makes the Livadijskij ridge a promising object for further development of tourism, but it also requires a more careful attitude to the environment.

Abstract:

Nanotechnology is science at the molecular level. Like biotechnology and information technology, it has tremendous potential to greatly change the world in which we live. Nanosystems engineering can be considered the branch of engineering that deals with materials and devices smaller than 100 nanometers (1 nanometer is a billionth of a meter), especially with the manipulation of individual molecules. Student interest and industry growth in this field highlight the need for a baccalaureate program in this area. The College of Engineering and Science at Louisiana Tech University has developed a new undergraduate degree in nanosystems engineering. The main objectives of this program are (a) to train undergraduate students in experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of engineering and science as applied to the development and use of nanotechnology; and (b) renovate and revitalize traditional engineering curricula such as mechanical engineering or materials science/ engineering through new nanosystems courses and instructional modules. We describe a new undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nanosystems Engineering curriculum which has a strong interdisciplinary emphasis. The Nanosystems Engineering Program draws on the strengths of all the basic sciences (chemistry, physics, and biology) and existing integrated engineering and science programs within the college at the freshman and sophomore levels. Graduates with a nanosystems engineering degree will have many opportunities at the boundaries of traditional engineering due to the cross-disciplinary nature of their degree. We expect many of the graduates of this program may choose to pursue research-based careers by moving on to graduate study or working at government laboratories and/or research centers. Graduates who wish to work in a commercial environment will find ever expanding opportunities in the many new nanotechnology companies that are emerging.

Abstract:

Aim/Purpose: This paper seeks to show how University of South Africa (UNISA) is using technology to connect lecturers, tutors and students of [UNISA] in an underdeveloped region in South Africa (SA) to reduce cost and time of travelling to access information, tutorials and help [available] in designated centers, hence making quality and higher education more accessible and less costly. Background: This empirical study gives evidence to back the effectiveness, helpfulness and cost reduction of using technology as a medium of making quality and higher education accessible to under developed regions. Methodology Quantitative and purposeful sampling was deemed appropriate for the study, whereby 200 questionnaires was developed and specifically distributed to UNISA students from former Ciskei towns at East London Tutorial Center. Contribution: The paper is about the usage of mobile technology for knowledge creation and dissemination, instruction and learning, The data generated and presented add to the knowledge base about underdeveloped countries. This data and the conclusions reached based the analysis could be of interest to researchers, university administrators, politicians, planners and policy makers in underdeveloped countries. Findings: Evaluation of the overall effectiveness, helpfulness and cost reduction of e-tutorials show a slight advantage over the face-face tutorials. Recommendations for Practitioners: In the quest for ways and means of making quality and higher education accessible to underdeveloped regions, no matter which medium is chosen, the periodic measurement of success in terms of effectiveness, helpfulness, and cost implication in relation to the learner cannot be over looked. Recommendation for Researchers: More work needs to be done to check the effectiveness of technology as an efficient medium to provide access to quality and higher education to underdeveloped regional economies. Impact on Society The results could have significant implications for raising the level of education and advancing employment equity by improving the delivery and accessibility to quality and higher education to underdeveloped regional economies. Future Research: The analysis of cost efficiency and effectiveness done in this work is just representative of one point of view: the student one of accessibility and cost. There is, however, need in future work to research the implications for the institutions of higher education (in terms teaching design, curriculum design, knowledge of individual learning types, need for change in and rate of change in knowledge view, learning philosophies), individual stakeholders, and the competitive repositioning of society.

Abstract:

Less than 15 years ago the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute surveyed physicians in the United States in order to characterize the demographics of hemophilia. The average age of persons with hemophilia in the United States was found to be 11.5 years old. By 10 years later, the life expectancy was predicted to be normal, and indeed the average age of persons with hemophilia in the U.S. is now in the early twenties. Early, intensive and predictably efficacious control of hemorrhage has made this result possible, and the therapeutic product which has allowed such control is commercial clotting factor concentrate.We now know that starting in 1978, and with great frquency during 1982 and 1983, the majority of U.S. hemophiliacs were infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is estimated that as of January, 1987, approximately two thirds of the 20,000' persons with hemophilia in the United States have been infected with HIV. Among those with severe factor VIII deficiency, more than 9056 are seropositive. As of 1/5/87, there were 288 cases of AIDS among U.S. hemophiliacs, for an AIDS rate of approximately 2.256 of those with HIV infection. This number included 185 with severe, 32 with moderate and 28 with mild hemophilia A; 12 with severe, 6 with moderate and 1 with mild hemophilia B; 9 with vWD, and 4 others. A disproportionate number were older patients: 55 were ages 1-19; 62 ages 20-29; 85 ages 30-39, and 86 age 40 or older. Although the AIDS attack rate is no longer climbing logarhythmically, new cases are certainly still occurring.A variety of other HIV-related syndromes have emerged. Of great concern is immune thrombocytopenia, which is now relatively common; among a group of 209 carefully followed HIV-positive patients at our center, 31 (1556) are or have been thrombocytopenic. Progressive failure to normally gain height and weight in children with hemophilia has recently been shown by our group to correlate with HIV antibody positivity, and also with decreased T4/T8 ratio, decreased T4 cell count, decreased skin test reactivity, and subsequent development of ARC or AIDS in some such children. Finally, a picture of progressive fall in T4 count associated with recurrent non-specific infections and increased likelihood of positive viral culture, may predict an increased risk of developing AIDS.We know that the immune dysfunction in hemophilia is complex, and not wholly explained by HIV infection. One important factor may be the many foreign proteins contained in commercial clotting factor concentrates, and their ability to stimulate T cells. It is known that latent HIV infection in cultured T4 lymphocytes can be induced to enter the proliferative, viral secretory phase by the addition of soluble foreign antigens to the cell culture. Recent data of Brettler and colleagues, to be presented at this meeting, suggest that the use of highly purified VI!I:C (specific activity >3000 u/mg) in place of the present extremely impure products, may improve the immune dysfunction in hemophilia. This observation offers a new hypothetical approach to the prevention of progressive T4 cell depletion in HIV infected hemophiliacs, and requires immediate and extensive further study.The psychosocial burden of HIV infection is immense. The need for extensive, formal education and support programs is largely unmet in most parts of the world. Such programs are best run out of hemophilia treatment centers in most cases, and must include an active program on prevention of sexual transmission, provision of HIV testing before and during pregnancies, provision for maintenance of confidentiality, etc. Education concerning HIV is like all other forms of education. It requires formal organization, a curriculum, active rather than passive learning in which there is interaction between the teacher and the pupil, time for planned repetition, reinforcement with written materials, and assessment of goals achieved. For all of these reasons it is inappropriate to assume that the physician at the hemophilia center will be able to provide an adequate education program. Adquate paramedical personnel will need to undertake this effort, under the directjon of the physician.

Abstract:

This article describes efforts undertaken by two centers at Loyola Marymount University—the Center for Equity for English Learners (CEEL) and the Center for Urban Resilience (CURes)—in collaboration with five southern California school districts to develop and implement the Urban Ecology for English Learners Project. This project aligns with the 2018 NASEM report call to action to (1) create contexts for systems- and classroom-level supports that recognizes assets that English Learners contribute to the classroom and, and (2) increase rigorous science instruction for English Learners through the provision of targeted program models, curriculum, and instruction. The article presents project highlights, professional learning approaches, elements of the interdisciplinary, standards-based Urban Ecology curricular modules, and project evaluation results about ELs’ outcomes and teachers’ knowledge and skills in delivering high-quality STEM education for ELs. The authors list various implications for teacher professional development on interdisciplinary instruction including university partnerships.
