Understanding by Design: Complete Collection
Students will explore the implications of a society where personal freedom is eliminated for the benefit of all.

Other essential questions include: Could something intended for the good of society really be bad? What makes an ideal society?

The goals of this unit are threefold: first, instilling in students a sense of purpose for writing.

Secondly, this unit aims to teach students specific strategies to implement when writing that will serve to engage the audience. There are three strategies that develop students writing in very concrete, understandable ways. Lastly, students will recognize the benefit of collaborating with peers when writing. While writing is primarily an individual exercise, this unit will challenge …

Building Assets For Safe, Productive Lives: A Report On A Workshop On Adolescent Girls' Livelihoods, Population Council
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
For the 1.5 billion adolescents currently living in developing countries (325 million of them living on less than US$1 a day), the transition to becoming economically productive is particularly pivotal. Girls face numerous challenges in making this transition successfully, since in many settings females have less access than males to critical resources such as secondary school education, credit, land, training, and technology, and their labor is often unrecognized and unremunerated.

In rural areas of Senegal, however, the effects are weaker and achieve statistical significance only for the wealthiest fifth of rural households. To judge from the …

When infants and toddlers are developing more than one language, the goal is that they will learn English and develop fluency in their home language.

Children, families, schools, and communities all benefit when children keep their connection to their language and heritage.
