National Center for Science Education Defending the Teaching of Evolution in the Public Schools Home On the Road NCSE Store Links ... Search by Eugenie C Scott NCSE Executive Director Originally published in RNCSE 19 (7): 7-9. The version on the web might differ slightly from the print publication. During August and September of 1999, NCSE members and other citizens read in their newspapers, and heard on radio and television, that the Kansas State Board of Education had removed evolution from the state science education standards. Here is the story. History After a year of work, a committee of Kansas scientists and master teachers (including several NCSE members) submitted a draft version of the Kansas Science Education Standards, first to public hearings and later to the State Board of Education (SBE). The Committee had followed guidelines developed by the National Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science for preparation of such standards, and included evolution as an organizing principle ("Unifying Concepts and Processes") of science. Showing sensitivity to the fact that evolution might conflict with religious beliefs of some students and parents, the proposed standards reminded teachers: Compelling student belief is inconsistent with the goal of education. Nothing in science or any other field of knowledge shall be taught dogmatically.

National Extension Parent Education Model Of Critical Parenting Practices Charles A. Smith , Ph.D., Kansas, Project Leader Dorothea Cudaback, Ph.D., California H.Wallace Goddard , Ph.D., Alabama Judith Myers-Walls , Ph.D., Indiana This report is an electronic version of the complete printed report and does not include many of the graphics that are an integral part of the final model. For a copy of the written version, please contact Charles A. Smith, R343 Justin Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas 66506 or casmith@ksu.edu . Please do not make changes in this report without the permission of the authors. Please keep the authors informed as to its distribution. Table of Contents: Preface Part 1: Foundations Part 2: The Model In Depth Part 3: Implementing the Model ... Part 5: References Preface In this final report, we outline a model of parent education that provides common ground for extension professionals throughout the Cooperative Extension System. The National Extension Parent Education Model (NEPEM) is a dynamic approach to parent education constructed through consensus. We hope you find inspiration and direction for your parent education programming within the pages of this document. This report is intended primarily for professionals or committed volunteers who deliver parent education programs and for decision makers and advocates. It is not meant to be given directly to parents. NEPEM is not a parent education program. It is a compilation of priority parent practices and supporting material to be used as a basis for parent education efforts. It also can be used to communicate our priorities to those outside of extension who might be unfamiliar with our goals and programs. Resources listed in the Curriculum Guide section are examples of more specific parent education programs that are consistent with the model. Please contact the authors of these resources if you want to learn more about them.

Kansas ATTACh Providing education, advocacy, resources and support. Navigation: Home Statistics Attachment Parenting ... Contact Us Parenting to Develop Attachment According to neuroscientist Bruce Perry, MD, PhD up to 40% of American children fail to form secure attachments with their mother or primary caregiver. Poor attachment is associated with a host of emotional and behavioral problems during childhood and later in life. Children who are securely attached to a parent do better cognitively, socially, and, in due course, academically and economically. Perry presents evidence that proper growth of the cognitive and emotional potentials of the developing brain requires stable emotional attachment with primary adult caregivers at the critical time. Perry also finds that the majority of attachment problems are likely due to parental ignorance about development rather than deliberate abuse. Many parents are never educated about the critical nature of the first three years of life, nor presented with positive discipline options.
