SUMMARY:Nature Play at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION: \nWHAT: Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is in the planning stage of creating a Nature Play Area at the Refuge. We’ve identified a site and are now to the point of imagining what the style of play could look like and what features will support that style. \nThis drop-in event will feature conceptual drawings\, displays about different types of nature play features\, tours of the nature play site (until it becomes too dark to do so)\, and refreshments. \nWHY: Tualatin River NWR endeavors to be an asset to the community and support a variety of nature-based activities. Safe\, off-trail\, free-play in nature has long been critical to the healthy development of children\, yet these opportunities are a dwindling resource. The Refuge has been a great place for families to learn about nature through programs and events for over two decades. Through this project\, we want to build on that connection through the joys of play. \nWHEN: Thursday November 7th\, from 3:30pm to 7:00pm \nWHERE: The Refuge Visitor Center’s Riparian Room (the community room to the right of the front desk). We will lead periodic tours to the Nature Play site that you will have the option to join. Water resistant footwear is recommended. \nWHO: Anyone with an interest in how the Refuge\, through free play in nature\, can be an asset to your personal child development goals or the goals of your organization. \nIf you have experience with children’s health\, mental and physical development\, play for all abilities\, or the design and construction of Nature Play Areas\, we would love to hear from you. \nIf you simply enjoy Nature Play and want to share the types of features you and your children love (even features that help you\, as a parent or guardian\, relax and let your children play freely)\, we want to hear from you\, too. \nCAN’T MAKE IT BUT ARE INTERESTED?\nSend an e-mail with your thoughts to tualatinriver@fws.gov

SUMMARY:Development Drinks
DESCRIPTION:Development Drinks is a monthly gathering hosted by GlobalPDX\, for people interested in international development. This social event is meant to be a chance to connect with others and to learn about the work of GlobalPDX members. This month we are delighted to highlight Jonathan Jennings\, Executive Director of Health in Harmony! Jonathan spent 10 years with Doctors Without Borders managing humanitarian programs in several African countries and in 2013 became the Deputy Executive Director of Doctors Without Borders Canada. Jonathan became increasingly dissatisfied with international aid programs focused only on helping people without addressing the root causes of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Recognizing that human and environmental health are fundamentally intertwined\, he followed his vision for change\, becoming Executive Director of Health In Harmony in 2017.

SUMMARY:NEH and Department of Education award $650\,000 to iCivics
DESCRIPTION:The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education (ED)\, has awarded a $650\,000 cooperative agreement to the civics education group iCivics to lead a coalition of experts in assessing the state of\, and best practices in\, the teaching of American history\, civics\, and government in K-12 education. \nEducating for American Democracy: A Roadmap for Excellence in History and Civics Education for All Learners will bring together more than 100 leading academics and practitioners in education\, civics\, history\, and political science for convenings at Louisiana State University and Arizona State University to evaluate the current state of history and civics curricula across the country. Informed by these discussions\, the group will issue a “roadmap for excellence” that would outline for teachers\, schools\, and district and state policy-makers high-priority civic content areas\, and recommend instructional strategies and best practices for integrating the teaching of civics and history at every grade level. \nThis roadmap and accompanying report on the convenings’ findings will be released prior to a national forum in September 2020 in Washington\, D.C.\, co-hosted by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History and the National Archives and Records Administration Foundation. \n“As the United States looks toward our 250th anniversary as a nation in 2026\, it is critical that our K-12 educational system teaches the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and the democratic principles on which the country was founded\,” said NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede. “The National Endowment for the Humanities is pleased to be working with the Educating for American Democracy team to identify ways to improve the teaching and learning of American history and government so that all students gain an appreciation of the workings of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.” \nThe Educating for American Democracy project is a partnership between the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University\, the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University\, Tufts University Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement and Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life\, and iCivics\, the country’s largest civic education provider. \nThe Educating for American Democracy project responds to an NEH-Education Department call for proposals for a fifteen-month project that would highlight innovative approaches\, learning strategies\, and professional development practices in K-12 civics education\, with an emphasis on activities and programs that benefit low-income and underserved populations. \n“Educating for American Democracy is an effort to provide guidance for integrating history and civics so that today’s learners form a strong connection to our constitutional democracy—and take ownership of it\,” said Louise Dubé\, Executive Director of iCivics. “We are very thankful that this cooperative agreement with NEH/ED will give our team of experts\, academics\, and practitioners the opportunity to design a trans-partisan roadmap for excellence in history and civics education.” \nThe iCivics Educating for American Democracy cooperative agreement is funded through a partnership between NEH’s Division of Education Programs and the U.S. Department of Education’s American History and Civics Education-National Activities program and is part of NEH’s newly announced “More Perfect Union” initiative focused on the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. \n\n\n\n\n\nNational Endowment for the Humanities: Created in 1965 as an independent federal agency\, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports research and learning in history\, literature\, philosophy\, and other areas of the humanities by funding selected\, peer-reviewed proposals from around the nation. Additional information about the National Endowment for the Humanities and its grant programs is available at: www.neh.gov.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nU.S. Department of Education (ED): ED’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. Find more at www.ed.gov \n \n\n\n\nEducating for American Democracy Project Team:  \nThe School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University blends a liberal arts education with civic education to prepare 21st century leaders for American and international affairs\, balancing study of classic ideas with outside-the-classroom learning experiences.  The School also provides civic education programs such as a podcast (Keeping It Civil)\, the Arizona Constitution Project\, and the Civic Discourse Project – a national-caliber speakers program partnering with Arizona PBS to provide a space for civil discourse on pressing issues.  https://scetl.asu.edu/ \nThe Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University seeks to strengthen teaching and research about pressing ethical issues; to foster sound norms of ethical reasoning and civic discussion; and to share the work of our community in the public interest. The Center stands at the core of a well-established movement giving ethics a prominent place in the curriculum and on research agendas at Harvard and throughout the world. The Center’s Democratic Knowledge Project is a K-16 civic education provider that seeks to identify and disseminate the bodies of knowledge\, capacities\, and skills that democratic citizens need in order to build and sustain healthy\, thriving democracies. https://ethics.harvard.edu/ \nTufts University’s Tisch College of Civic Life and Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement: The only university-wide college of its kind\, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University studies and promotes the civic and political engagement of young people at Tufts University\, in our communities\, and in our democracy. Peter Levine serves as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Tisch College’s Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE)\, directed by Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg\, is a premier research center on young people’s civic education and engagement in the United States\, especially those who are marginalized or disadvantaged in political life.

SUMMARY:Ghost Net Landscape by Emily Miller

With a one-day workshop on process improvement\, teams learn to streamline their workflows and eliminate 30% or more of nonproductive activities. Groups and individuals also learn to align their activities with natural biorhythms to experience less stress and more flow every day.  In partnership with her clients\, Erica is putting an end to business as usual by engaging with work and life as meaningful endeavors that positively impact the world. \nCOST & CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS: \nISSP credential holders will earn 0.5 CEUs for attending this webinar. \nISSP Webinars are free for members and $25 for non-members.  After the webinar\, non-members will receive a discount code worth $25 off a new ISSP membership.
