Helping Children Deal With Tragic Events in Unsettling Times Tips for Parents and Teachers National Association of School Psychologists For a PDF version of this handout, click here Americans and people around the world are facing difficult and unsettling times right now. Concerns over impending war, a struggling economy, and the continued threat of terrorism dominate the news. Although not directly related, the loss of the space shuttle Columbia and its crew adds to our sense of sadness and vulnerability. We empathize strongly with the crew's families, friends, and colleagues. Moreover, the Columbia's mission served as a point of optimism for many people, offering the promise of international collaboration, individual courage, and positive human endeavor. Parents and school professionals should assess the emotional needs of the children in their care, but the following suggestions may be helpful in addressing the Columbia tragedy. Reassure children that they are safe and so are the important adults in their lives. The Columbia accident does not affect their safety or security.Â

Printable page Advocacy Articles - English Music education as a powerful stimulus for brain plasticity Eckart Altenmüller Full professor at the Institute for Music Physiology and Musicians’ Medicine University for Music and Drama, Hanover, Germany There is general agreement that music is an important value “in itself”, providing joy, feeling for aesthetic values and a unique means to explore and to express emotions. During the last decade, however, music educators have become increasingly interested in understanding “secondary” effects of music education, especially on brain activation patterns and brain networks. Evidence from neurobiological research, demonstrating that music education causes remarkable central nervous adaptations has fueled this interest. In short, music making turns out to be the behavior, which probably most effectively induces short- and long-term brain plasticity. Click here to view full text...

Summary Statement specific information about the National Standards? Contact Peggy Wang at MENC ( peggyw@menc.org What Students Should Know and Be Able to Do in the Arts Summary Statement Endorsers and Supporters National Committee for Standards for the Arts What Students Should Know and Be Able to Do in the Arts There are many routes to competence in the arts disciplines. Students may work in different arts at different times. Their study may take a variety of approaches. Their abilities may develop at different rates. Competence means the ability to use an array of knowledge and skills. Terms often used to describe these include creation, performance, production, history, culture, perception, analysis, criticism, aesthetics, technology, and appreciation. Competence means capabilities with these elements themselves and an understanding of their interdependence; it also means the ability to combine the content, perspectives, and techniques associated with the various elements to achieve specific artistic and analytical goals. Students work toward comprehensive competence from the very beginning, preparing in the lower grades for deeper and more rigorous work each succeeding year. As a result, the joy of experiencing the arts is enriched and matured by the discipline of learning and the pride of accomplishment. Essentially, the Standards ask that students should know and be able to do the following by the time they have completed secondary school:

Executive Summary > Opening Statements Reviewing the Millennium Declaration NGOs as Partners in Debt Relief and Financing for Development NGOs as Partners in Values and Public Service NGOs as Partners in Strengthening the Family ... Closing Statements Opening Statements Mr. Taj Hamad, Executive Director of WANGO, reminded NGO representatives of the significance of Habitat II, held in Istanbul in 1996, which was a landmark meeting for NGOs who were called to attend as full U.N. partners. Similarly, this conference is also a watershed for NGOs because it represents the inauguration of the first global association of NGOs. He observed that the Millennium Declaration made many promises to the next generation, and it is our responsibility to keep them; NGOs must work harder than before. He asked participants: What do you want to do with this Declaration? How can WANGO help you achieve what you want to do? How can we enhance NGO interrelationships, U.N.-NGO relations, and NGO-state relations? It is up to NGOs to seize the moment, he concluded. Co-Chair Dr. Chung Hwan Kwak, speaking from the perspective of the IIFWP, said that the world cannot achieve lasting peace without a greater partnership and cooperation between governments, civil society and the world's religions. Secondly, he stressed that the family as the foundation for world peace must be strengthened as it has profound social, moral and global significance. He then mentioned the three proposals made at Assembly 2000 at the United Nations by IIFWP Founder Rev. Sun Myung Moon: to establish a council of religious leaders within the structure of the United Nations; to establish peace zones under U.N. jurisdiction between the borders of nations in conflict; and, to establish a day of international appreciation for the family. Dr. Kwak noted that the IIFWP proposed at Assembly 2000 the development of an international educational program that emphasizes:
