Welcome to our new ...

Introducing...
|
Greetings from Brooklyn! We are delighted to
launch our inaugural Curriculum
Corner- a monthly newsletter for
English Language
Arts, Social Studies, Theater Arts and Health
Education teachers and community-based
educators who
are interested in sharing innovative
approaches to
teaching.
The Curriculum Corner
newsletter provides a way for us to share
successful teaching strategies that encourage
critical thinking,
literacy, civic engagement, connection to
school and healthy choices. We will focus on
social context, specifically how race,
class and gender intersect, and how that
impacts adolescent health.

About me
|
Before moving to Brooklyn, New
York, in 1999 I taught History at
International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in
the Netherlands. The IB Organization taught
me how to write interdisciplinary,
inquiry-based curriculum, based on the IBO's
pedagogical fundamental concepts of holistic
education and intercultural awareness.
I became involved with Scenarios USA by
writing the Educator Guides for
the What's
the REAL DEAL? contests. In January 2008 I
joined the team as the new Education and
Outreach Manager, connecting with educators
in schools and in community settings across
the country to support you and the students
you teach.
I'm currently writing our new What's the
REAL DEAL
About Masculinity? curriculum, which I'll
tell you more about in the December
Curriculum Corner.

The Scenarios USA films were written by teens
for teens, in response to the Scenarios USA
"What's the
REAL DEAL?" writing contest. Contest winners
make movies about a
wide range of adolescent health topics
with some of Hollywood's finest filmmakers.
All Scenarios USA films explore
relationships, communication, self-esteem and
decision-making.
"The Scenarios USA films are relevant
because the scripts are written by teens.
And they are without a doubt the hippest,
best-edited, most entertaining sex ed films
ever made."
