HeightenedLearning: June 2005
http://heightenedlearning.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 16, 2005. Too Much Homework = Lower Test Scores. Undue focus on homework as a national quick-fix, rather than a focus on issues of instructional quality and equity of access to opportunity to learn, may lead a country into wasted expenditures of time and energy,' LeTendre says.". Piles of homework, projects to finish, reading and comprehension to complete in a set time period - sound like fun? Overcompensation may be taking place because of the fear that it looks like homeschoolers are not...

Monday, July 25, 2005. Training a New Generation of Leaders. Most home-school teenagers are, indeed, belying the stereotype of a disengaged younger generation and consequently are gaining the attention of the national media. ABC's 'World News Tonight' recently visited the campus of Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Va., where the weeklong Generation Joshua Summer Camp was being held. Posted by Danielle Lynne at 5:58 PM. Sunday, July 24, 2005. Memory Tips and Tricks. Memorizing information, such as m...

HeightenedLearning: November 2005

Wednesday, November 02, 2005. All play and no work makes for lots of completed projects! Often times, clients have mentioned that I have a remarkable way of engaging their children. Just today, I was told that my writing class was the favorite out of an array of homeschool classes held at a local coop. This was surprising to me, as I know that I compete with some super fun, hands on classes. I theorize that their work ends up feeling like (or is even perceived as) play. Play being any activity that e...

Monday, May 29, 2006. Strengthened Parent and Child Relationships. Home-schooling has many benefits. Home-schooling allows kids to relate to adults better, especially their parents. Being with my mom all day, and learning through her and my dad shows me more and more that I can trust them and that they want to be my friends. Posted by Danielle Lynne at 10:38 PM. Thursday, May 18, 2006. Alex and the Sleep Monster. A few months ago I had the pleasure of meeting Adrian Grey, an artist and wonderful father&#...

Created on 25 June 2001 (#203980). Last updated on 30 May 2010. Needham, MA (1994 - 1998). Boston, MA (1998 - 2002). Philosophia by Guggenheim Grotto. When we’re young we set our hearts upon some beautiful idea. Maybe something from a holy book or French philosophia. Upon the thoughts of better men than us we swear by and decree a. Perfect way to end the war of ways the only way to be a. Work of art, oh to be a work of art. But in time a thought comes tugging on the sleeve edge of our minds.

HeightenedLearning: December 2005

Monday, December 05, 2005. Learning through Good Nutrition. As a holistic educator, I look at many aspects that make up each of my students. One aspect that I focus on (which parents are often surprised by my questioning of) is nutrition. The simple question, How is your family’s nutrition? Holds a goldmine of answers. As a diagnostician, the answers to this provide many insights. Proper nutrition, meaning nutrients balanced as in the Zone. Or (the even more disciplined) Paleo. Snacks to steer away from:.

Monday, May 30, 2005. Everything Bad is Good for You. Pop Culture Is.Nourishing. In fact he is much more thoughtful than that, and wants kids to do some book reading in among their gaming and TV-watching. At first, I too was skeptical of this new title. Promoting TV and video games as educational and enhancing cognitive ability seems counter intuitive to other findings. Posted by Danielle Lynne at 10:03 AM. Thursday, May 26, 2005. Importance of Subject Integration. Sometimes it gets old, but it is also r...

Saturday, October 01, 2005. Making Peace with Autism. Walking by the community bulletin board at Simmons College. A flier caught my eye for a family who needed one-on-one instruction for their son with autism. After having years of personal experience with autism, I was ready to deepen my understanding and awareness of this familiar although mysterious developmental disorder. Over the years, I have been honored to keep in touch with the Senator family. Nat's latest milestone being his bar mitzvah. I abso...
