Quality Energy Efficient Lighting is an intermediate level program designed for those who wish to improve their knowledge of energy efficient lighting strategies. This 10-Module intermediate level course is a lighting education face to face program that builds upon the basic concepts introduced in Lighting Fundamentals with specific attention to the energy side of quality lighting. Designed to be delivered in ten 2-3 hour sessions at the section level it is perfect for those who want to build a solid foundation of energy efficient lighting strategies. It is recommended that the participant have already completed Lighting Fundamentals. Participants who complete the Quality Energy Efficient Lighting Series are eligible for 20 IES Continuing Education Credits (CEUs). Contact your local IES Section or an IES approved lighting education center for participation in the intermediate seminar series.
Lighting Essentials is the next logical step for those who have completed Lighting Fundamentals (e.g., Fundamentals of Lighting, FOL-15). Save up to $105.00 by purchasing as a package versus individual seminars, especially for those taking Lighting Essentials from an IES Section.
The IES is an accredited Standards Development Organization (SDO) under American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved procedures. The Society publishes nearly 100 varied publications including recommended practices on a variety of applications, design guides, technical memoranda, and publications on energy management and lighting measurement, many of which follow the ANSI standards development process.
After these basics are mastered, students are taught how to use their hands to model facial features. I love the wide range of abstract to shockingly real results. Students of all ages buy in to the process and can find a way to express themselves at their individual level.
Although working with clay is my favorite medium to teach, my favorite part of this lesson is the important conversation it brings up about American history. Face jugs originated in the United States by african slaves in Edgefield, South Carolina. We watch Jim McDowell explain the history and importance of face jugs in this video. His energy and passion for the subject is instantly absorbed by the students. They pick up quickly the serious nature of why face jugs were brought to our country and Jim McDowell gives the conversation authenticity that I am not able to create alone.
The first day working with clay can feel a little hectic. I try to do prep in advance to make my life easier, like having student shelf assignments done or the supply tables organized before the day of. Students are mesmerized by the tactile quality of clay and some are turned off by it at first. Once students get used to the mess and how it makes their hands feel, they give in to the fun and messy nature of pottery.
The first day students will score, slip and blend around three of their coils to their pinch pot and move upwards. If a student only made one successful ring or was absent, students roll coils until they have enough to work with.
Day two moves much quicker. I do a quick verbal review with my tutorial playing on a silent loop on the TVs as they work. I tell students to not make a lip yet, that will be a finishing touch, so that their hands can get inside their jug when they add their facial features next time.
I used to start with the eyes, and students totally freaked out. I still have them use their thumbs to press their clay in to create eye sockets first, and many students totally panic. It takes awhile for them to see that their clay is more durable than they think.
Those are short-term solutions. And you might be able to quash the rebellion in the moment, but you have lost the war, because classroom management/discipline is supposed to be about helping our students become better at managing the learning and managing themselves.
If something happened in school that day, make the call home. Email is not enough, because parents may not read their email before they talk to their child, so you really want to get to the parent. Whoever gets to the parent first controls the story.
I think when you take that principled approach, you cut down on a lot of the disciplinary issues that happen in the classroom so they never even come to the surface. You never even have to deal with them when you set up a classroom in that way.
Respect is not just a vague concept. This is an important life skill and the sooner kids will learn it, the sooner they will learn to build successful relationships. So, I admire the work you have done here teaching parents the importance of respecting their children and nurturing these skills in their kids. I am really grateful for the parenting tips you have collected here. Can add just a little bit? I have this article about teaching respect as well. And the activities that your kids will have fun with. Care to take a look here -kids-respect-activities/?
