Driver Evaluations
The Driving Evaluation and Training Program assesses an individual's ability to safely drive a vehicle Additionally, the program provides training for individuals who need to improve their driving skills and/or require the use of adaptive equipment to drive.
Driving evaluations are two to three hours long and take a comprehensive look at an individual's physical, cognitive, visual, and perceptual abilities, as well as how those skills relate to the dynamic task of driving.
Each client participates in both a clinical and behind-the wheel assessment that includes:
- An eye exam assessing visual acuity, depth perception and peripheral vision
- Multiple assessments of thinking and processing skills
- Assessments of strength, coordination and sensation.
- Behind-the-wheel assessment in an evaluation-equipped vehicle in multiple settings.
- At the end of the evaluation, the results are reviewed and recommendations are made in collaboration with the referring physician.
- Multiple therapeutic interventions are available to address safe driving skills.
Who may benefit from an evaluation?
Individuals may benefit from an evaluation if they are experiencing any of the following:
- a demonstrated impairment in attention, memory, or comprehension
- difficulty performing visual tasks or has a disease affecting vision
- there is a question as to safety of driving by the client or his/her family
- a recently history stroke or brain injury or suffers from an ongoing neurological disease
- other medical conditions that may impact driving performance, such as peripheral neuropathy, amputations or high blood pressure.
A physician referral is needed to participate
Driver Evaluations and Training is offered at the following location:Outpatient Rehabilitation at City Center

Until I visited Beijing and Shanghai last year I was always under the impression that London was a large city – I now know that it is not! I say this, of course, in relative terms. London is a very large city compared to Paris, Rome or Brighton. But put alongside the cities referred to above or alongside Cairo or Mexico City or Rio de Janeiro, it is not.
What is the relevance of this statement? At the risk of alienating the vast majority of the Jewish community in London, I say this because there is a perception amongst many friends and community members living in North West London that the journey to Clapham, where Nightingale is situated, is akin to a journey to Lands End!
Nightingale is situated in Clapham SW12 and has been for 100 years when its then benefactor/philanthropist Lord Wandsworth donated a splendid house to the Charity in order to facilitate it moving out of the confines of the East End. During the past 100 years the Charity has extended its complex – built and re-built and refurbished to make Nightingale the amazing community that it is today. Served by two tube stations on the Northern Line (straight run through from Golders Green) and by two railway stations and excellent bus links, Nightingale really is easily accessible by public transport. And furthermore on a clear day and with a good wind it is a 30 minute drive from Central London and 40 minute drive from St John's Wood.
Why is it therefore (and this is the alienation bit!) that so many of those living in North London have a "provincial" outlook when it comes to Clapham? This of course is because of the physical and more important psychological barrier of the River Thames. Bournemouth and Brighton are south of the River Thames, yet many people are no strangers to these places. But Clapham - that's in the wilds! I believe there is also a perception that not only of the distance to travel to South West London but also perhaps regarding its nature and environment. Nightingale is situated in the midst of leafy upmarket residential roads and in walking distance of two beautiful commons – Clapham and Wandsworth (that's Clapham and Wandsworth – not Clapton and Wandsworth!)
Contrary to that which some believe there is also Jewish life South of the River! There are thriving Jewish communities in numerous parts of South London – albeit we do not have a Golders Green or a Stamford Hill.
Why is all of this important? It is important to me because when an older person is choosing a care home and/or when a relative is helping them to choose a care home, many criteria are taken into account. Research shows that location is an important criteria and of course it is. But surely within reason the overall and leading criteria must be quality of care and I am sure that most of us would feel (if we thought about this rationally) that quality of care and range of facilities far outweighs any inconvenience which any of us would make in accessing a home.
The average age of residents at Nightingale is 89. Ten residents are aged over 100 and the average stay is about 3 ½ years. We need to put this in context and realise that perhaps "location location" whilst being everything to an estate agent need not necessarily be so for us.

Posted on 01/30/2012 8:26:15 PM PST by Theoria
Now we know that computers don't help children learn and that drugs don't help them concentrate, because the establishment mandarins who sold us the computers and drugs have conceded failure. In the January 29 New York Times, [1] a prominent professor of child development shows that attention-deficit-disorder drugs only harm the three million children who take them. One out of 10 American children have been diagnosed with so-called Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and most of them have been medicated. [2]
Some months ago, the Times reported that test scores lagged in school districts that invested massively in digital education. [3] It does not seem to have occurred to the mandarins that computers cause attention deficit disorder. The brain is a machine, in the enlightened secular model, and so-called brain science teaches us to tweak its functioning with pharmaceuticals, or stimulate its development through digital approximations of intelligence. The grand result of a generation's worth of brain-science application is a generation of schoolchildren who are disproportionately illiterate, innumerate, anxious, angry, and unhappy.
Professor L Alan Sroufe's debunking of ADD medication in the New York Times contains this admission:
''Back in the 1960s I, like most psychologists, believed that children with difficulty concentrating were suffering from a brain problem of genetic or otherwise inborn origin. Just as Type I diabetics need insulin to correct problems with their inborn biochemistry, these children were believed to require attention-deficit drugs to correct theirs. It turns out, however, that there is little to no evidence to support this theory.''
That is an astonishing statement: in the mainstream view of the academic psychologists, the brain is another pancreas, except that its function is to secrete thoughts as opposed to insulin. That is to say that the psychologists have a pancreas where their brains should have been.
(Excerpt) Read more at atimes.com ...
Excellent article on the sham of modern psychology and education theory.
Except I believe in digital education. The author's opinion is wrong on that matter.
Homeschool pings, both lists.
Anyone here surprised? Anyone at all?
Didn't think so.
Welcome since 12-20-11!
20 years ago when I tried scouting in the traditions of my family it was a disaster. Most of the kids were medicated and most of the parents just wanted a place to drop them for a couple of hours. It made the parents feel good like they were doing something to encourage junior into something wholesome or something I guess. They dang sure didn't want junior to be challenged or disciplined.
One day, my Son and I were working on some project together and both confided to each other that we didn't enjoy scouts and that we were enjoying our time together much more without having to put up with a bunch of drugged kids.
From that day we built our shop and worked on old cars and built gadgets. We had boys and girls over all the time in the teen years and into college. They always hung out at the shop. The floor will never be clean from all the oil hemorrhages from motorcycles, trucks, cars and an airplane. It is just covered with many good memories. Some of the kids still stop by, they are grown now and many of them have children. Many of them tell us they will build a shop when the time comes.
He went through a phase, like all kids do, of undirected energy. We found him something to do and gave him a reason to do it. We also only had to get the belt out once at about age 6 when he sassed his Mother. Never happened again. It was hard but necessary. I didn't rest well for days. We like to think we medicated the ills of childhood and the fears it creates over becoming grown up with love.
My Momma and Poppa made childhood so wonderful it is still painful to have had to leave it. We were punished for what we did wrong and loved all the time. I'm sure sometimes the loving didn't come easy.
One of the best things my Son ever said to me was that he would never do anything to make the family ashamed of him. He has been true to his word for nearly 30 years now.
The best advice I can give to anyone these days with children is HOME SCHOOL.
Actually, the "brain as machine" model is totally discredited by an avalanche of research on neuroplasticity over the last twenty or thirty years, showing the brain is a flexible, adaptive, self-correcting, responsive organ, that organizes itself, grows and changes to meet new demands, and adapts changes in functioning to changes in the environment in ways no "machine" could.
Spengler is simply wrong, as most uneducated lay people would be, and as the author who wrote the WSJ article is as well.
Current models of brain functioning are far more sophisticated than the author acknowledges, perhaps because he has been in his career comfort zone for years, doing what he has always done, and not kept up. Judicious use of medications as well as other treatments have achieved significant advances in treating problems with brain functioning, including adhd.
As far as computers are concerned, there are programs which don't help anybody, and others that are helping people recover from brain injuries, strokes, disabilities of all sorts by retraining the brain and redrawing the neurological maps of the cortex. If Spengler and the rest want a villain to pick on, they should take a look at ordinary television and its effect on cognitive development.
I agree on that premise. One can simply look at the use of TV in society and the decline of Americas knowledge reference and learning.
There are uses for computers in education but having kids build Shakespeare blogs or Facebook pages as described in the article aren't among them.
Spengler doesn't agree with the "enlightened secular model". He doesn't believe the brain is a machine.
Totally hip:
We kept our kids going into things they loved as children. Shoot, they started community theater when they were 5. Imagine encouraging dress up and imagination !! They even suckered me into it when they were teens.
Awesome memories.
The other thing we did was to insist on being on a sports team all through school - their choice. My son ended up on the bowling team his last two years (the saga of Derek was just beginning :)
And I totally agree. If I had to do it all again, HOME SCHOOLING !!!
Certainly I am NOT surprised!!! The remark that one person made was true-—the administrators are purposely trying to destroy the intelligence of their slaves. Intelligent people are hard to control.
I was working at out local childrens home a year or so ago. I was down the hall from a staff training session and I heard the topic was medication.
I'm thinking to myself, alright, maybe they're bringing someone in that's going to tell them they are going about things the wrong way. No more drugging the kids to control their behavior. Do your jobs and deal with them!
A kid doesn't want to pay attention, make him want to! No beatings of course, but use ever other available means.
Not a freakin' chance! I could hear the whole thing. It was all about the latest drug therapy and how to make sure the kids were taking the shit. I tell you I wanted to go back there and knock some heads together sumthin' fierce!
We spanked our kids. Much cheaper and much more effective...
"Adderall and Ritalin, by the way, can't be found in any Chinese pharmacy..."
Again, it's because Asian parents SPANK their brats. Parents only need the drugs if they're not up to being parents.
I am very serious that if I had a child suspected of ADHD my first stop would be a medical doctor. The next stop an Audiologist. If I had an adult family member who suddenly out of the blue developed an unexplainable anxiety issue known as Panic Disorder I'd do the same thing.
The older General Practitioners understood some things that have been lost in modern medicine due too specialization in practices. Inner Ear related issues can wreak havoc on the body and mind. They are hard too prove in many cases but the clues many times lie in getting a very extensive early childhood to current medical history and some detective work asking the right questions including military service and work environments.
The treatment as far as medication goes may shock some as well. No Ritalin. Enviromental modifications in these cases are needed. For ones thing a good old fashion butt busting cures all need too stop and think about what all has changed technology wise since parents who were born in the 50's and 60's had as kids. Yea the TV could have a huge impact on some kids. Watch their behavior after a show especially one with a lot of special affects and vivid colors flashing.
You likely can't find common items such as antibiotics on a store shelf in China either. Kids are expendable there. The offical government policy is they have too many. I'd be the first too say ADD ADHD is grossly mis-diagnosed and Ritalin over prescribed. But I have enough real life self experience to understand there is an actual medical problem out there behind a lot of this.
I agree that the drugs can be used to mask deeper family and parenting problems. My only point is that parents who choose NOT to listen to Dr. Spock don't need the drugs.
I got my tail busted if I needed it. My parents did not go by Spock and this isn't about Spock it's about a medical issue. But my parents also got me help. I was diagnosed in the mid 1960's with ADHD. But I didn't use Ritalin.
Read my post on this thread and you'll see what I am talking about The information I have does not come from any mental health associated venue nor for that matter any pharmacutical backed source.
I'm likely out of here till this evening.
I believe in Alvin Toffler's formulation, "High Touch and High Tech."
That is essentially what Apple has been doing. And, in digital education, there is khanacademy.org. The high tech aspect of KhanAcademy is that the Internet delivers the content on demand, and provides sample problems automatically, giving a teacher or coach complete insight into a student's progress and any specific difficulties. The high touch aspect of it is that the lectures, by Salman Khan, are done in a very human and approachable way. Even though it would be easier for him to simply redo a lecture when he makes a mistake while lecturing, he has his team simply annotate the video to correct the error. That is humility, and it makes the experience very human.
The fact that the lectures are short, essentially spontaneous, and available on demand means that the student is unlikely to feel intimidated by the process. Indeed, the "on demand" nature of the video lectures has, according to Khan, made them even better accepted by students than live, interactive discussions with him.
Students can learn from KhanAcademy alone, but an even "higher touch" approach is to "flip the classroom" of a school, having the students view the lectures at home and devote the classroom to human interaction around the practice exercises which traditionally have been "homework."So, yes indeed, very interesting educational work can be done with the aid of computers. I certainly hope Khan succeeds in "flipping the classroom" in education generally. Apple has made a significant thrust into education with its authoring tool, available free to Mac users, to empower textbook authors to port learning tools to the iPad. And with concomitant iPad software to view and interact with the educational content, making notes and empowering drill and practice.
I suppose that it is entirely possible to misuse such tools to the detriment of the child's education. It's not obvious that Khan needs those tools. He is on record as questioning whether textbooks are needed at all with his approach. I think that books are in their own way more accessible than digital content, tho . . .
This article wasn't the place to argue the case, but to the extent I can speak of philosophy of mind as a non-professional, I sympathize with St. Augustine's "Divine Illumination" theory. That is, what Kant calls synthetic a priori reason — our ability to understand certain things intuitively and synthesize a concept out of disparate elements — is made possible by participation in the mind of God. Kantian and neo-Kantian epistemology has roots in Augustine, but excises God from the picture.
You are a great man. Thanks!
My girls have used Switched On Schoolhouse since third grade. They have been using Saxon DIVE and Teacher for three years.
They are on their fourth year of Latin. The first year was in classroom (with a fourteen year old teacher, I might add), the next two years the class was on DimDim, right in our livingroom. This year they moved onto Powerspeak. The 11-year-old has a 90% and the 14-year-old is at 93%. There was a period of getting to know HOW the program worked that would have been solved by better technical support so, their grades would be higher with that.
Digital education rocks!
Jan Healy wrote extensively about screens and the developing brain.
I believe, firmly, that there truly are mental disorders such as ADHD. My sister, for example, has severe attention deficit problems. However, her brain scan is not normal, and she has had a lot of inexplicable problems throughout her education. Medication has helped her to a degree.
I have also known some boys who really truly had a problem. Medication helped them.
HOWEVER, and it is a big huge however, MOST "cases" of ADHD are misdiagnosed by those who stand to make a buck off of the hysteria. The article is right in that the condition is overdiagnosed, even though I disagree that ADHD is basically fictional.
Prescribing ADHD medications for attention span problems in school is basically like saying that anyone who coughs has strep throat and should take antibiotics.
My sister and I were both homeschooled and we both are effective learners (even with lil sis's disabilities, she is pretty good at learning things, if a bit slower. If she can't remember something she will look it up again).
I agree with the conclusion that excessive use of electronics and the public school system has caused the behavioral and learning problems that we see today.
And the fact that ADHD is overdiagnosed gives a really bad name to the kids who actually have it. That is what makes me the most angry.

The 2013 NFL draft is finally upon us with no more distractions like that crazy Super Bowl, and it's time to start looking at players who are rising up draft boards or falling down them. Some are rising because of their play at All-Star games, and a few are falling because of a perceived lack of clarity on what position they will play in the NFL.
We learned a lot from All-Star games like the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Game, as we have watched players go head to head with some of the best that the draft has to offer. We also know that there is a talented group of underclassmen to choose from and that the top of the draft will be full of juniors.
However, there is a lot of talent in this draft class overall, and it is incredibly deep from the middle of the first round through the third round.
The NFL Scouting Combine is a few weeks away, and we are in a position to see draft boards solidifying. Let's look at players who are rising and those who are falling at this point in the process.

Posted on 05/13/2003 5:12:58 PM PDT by Sweet_Sunflower29
click here to read article
When I was a young boy, I thought art was supposed to inspire people.
Then I went to college and I was told that art was supposed to piss you off, confuse you, make you act like you "get it," and pretend to understand art's significance.
Then I graduated from college...with a degree in commercial art.
I still think the rest of those bums at college are full of $h!t.
I'm no longer a young boy, yet I believe that art is supposed to inspire people.
And anyone who says otherwise is trying to sell something.
Might it be in his "mind" if the artist found himself tossed down a few flights of stairs??
Of that I would take a "high humor" view...
Those women were distraught because some of their fellow New Yorkers had just been crushed to death, and the victims' bones, intestines and body parts were scattered all over Ground Zero. These women might have known some victims who had their heads crushed, hands or limbs severed, and who may have died slow, agonizing deaths. Many ladies were probably searching for their loved ones, not knowing if their husbands, brothers, sisters, etc. were dead or still trapped in the rubble or at a hospital.
And you were thinking of scoring.
Apparently you have missed the point. That sign is speaking to the aircraft that crashed into the WTC and killed 3000 people.
Before noon? So, are you saying that having lived in New York gives you an excuse to be a complete moron? I don't buy it, somehow.
How charming and gallant
Look, I was kidding! People react to different situations differently. I wisecrack through almost every situation that's tense - it breaks the tension and adds some perspective.
No, I think its pretty funny. It's just a matter of taste.
Could you post the definition of "joke" --- and explain how it was a joke?
Whatever. Make lite of it if you want, but why should the relatives of those who perished have to see it on the side of a wall? I agree with an earlier post, a couple of glass jars of paint would make this discussion moot.
Well said.
But before noon on 9-11??? Think about it...

Sergio Thompson, Cano, Wilder Back on 5/26 in Mexico
By Miguel Rivera
On May 26th in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, lightweight contender Sergio Thompson (22-2, 20KOs) will return to the ring for the first time since the two round TKO upset of Jorge Linares in March. Thompson faces Sergio Omar Priotti (25-11-1, 8KOs). Top lightweight contender Pablo Cesar Cano (23-1-1, 18KOs) will return in a ten round bout, and heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder (21-0, 21KOs) will see action in an eight round contest. The card will be televised by Fox Deportes.
I'm hoping that they'll get a quality opponent for Deontay Wilder. His peers, Seth Mitchell, Bryant Jennings, et al., are making names for themselves by fighting decent opposition while Wilder is still fighting cans...Comment by nycsmooth on 05-10-2012

From the Independent
The Islamist radicals who seized a vast arc of territory in northern Mali in the spring are intensifying their brutality against the population, according to victims, human rights groups, and U.N. and Malian officials. The attacks are being perpetrated as the United States, European countries and regional powers are readying an African force to retake northern Mali, after months of hesitation.
That has raised fears that the extremists could consolidate their grip over the Texas-size territory in the north and further terrorize civilians, particularly women and children.
"The people are losing all hope," said Sadou Diallo, a former mayor of the northern city of Gao. "For the past eight months, they have lived without any government, without any actions taken against the Islamists. Now the Islamists feel they can do anything to the people."
Refugees fleeing the north are now bringing stories that are darker than those recounted in interviews from this summer. Although their experiences cannot be independently verified — because the Islamists have threatened to kill or kidnap Westerners who visit — U.N. officials and human rights activists say that they have heard similar reports of horrific abuses and that some may amount to war crimes.
Radical Islamists have transformed vast stretches of desert in the north into an enclave for al-Qaida militants and other jihadists. They have imposed a hard-edged brand of sharia law, echoing Afghanistan's Taliban movement, in this West African country where moderate Islam has thrived for centuries. People are deprived of basic freedoms, historic tombs have been destroyed, and any cultural practices deemed un-Islamic are banned.
In August, they began establishing courts, jails and police forces in major towns, according to human rights activists. The police scour neighborhoods for anyone who disobeys their decrees. "It's much more organized now," said Corinne Dufka, a senior researcher on Mali for Human Rights Watch, referring to the network of courts and police. "The Islamists have taken away the joie de vivre of the people."
On Oct. 9, Mariam Conate, 15, was walking to her uncle's house in Timbuktu. She had forgotten to fully cover her face. Two Islamist police officers confronted her, and "one held me, the other beat me with the barrel of his gun," Conate recalled. "They took me to their headquarters and threw me into a room. They locked the door and left."
Outside, her jailors discussed her future. One wanted to cut off her ears as punishment. The other wanted to send her to a prison where six of her friends had been raped, Conate said. She was also worried that she would be forced to marry a militant, a fate her cousin had recently suffered.
Conate was eventually set free after a cousin who knew one of the Islamists intervened. On Oct. 12, she fled to Segou, where she stays with an aunt in a small, crowded house.
In the town of Kidal, the Islamists are making lists of unmarried pregnant women to punish them and their partners, said U.N. and Malian human rights officials and local community leaders. "They are going around asking every pregnant woman who made her pregnant," said Alkaya Toure, an official with Cri de Coeur, a Malian human rights group. "They also rely on spies inside the populations in Gao, Timbuktu and elsewhere."
But as a reward for loyalty, the Islamists have found a religious loophole. They have encouraged their fighters to marry women and girls, some as young as 10, and often at gunpoint. After sex, they initiate a quick divorce. In a case that has shocked the country, a girl in Timbuktu was forced last month to "marry" six fighters in one night, according to a report in one of Mali's biggest newspapers.
In a telephone interview, a senior Islamist commander conceded that his fighters were marrying young girls.
"Our religion says that if a girl is 12, she must get married to avoid losing her virginity in a wrong way," said Oumar Ould Hamaha, the military leader of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, one of the three radical groups ruling the north. The other two are al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the terrorist network's North and West Africa affiliate; and Ansar Dine, or "defenders of the faith."
Boys, too, are being abused. With a possible war looming, some as young as 10 have been taken to training camps, where they learn to use weapons and plant homemade bombs, U.N. officials and human rights activists say. And as the economy worsens in rebel areas, some parents have "sold" their children to buy food and to curry favor with the Islamists.
"They give $10 to impoverished parents to recruit their children in the name of defending Islam," said Gaoussou Traore, the secretary general of Comade, a Malian children's rights group. "The Islamists tell parents that their children will go to paradise, that they will benefit in the next world. The situation of children in Mali is normally very bad . . . With the arrival of the Islamists, it's become a lot worse."
In a few parts of the north, the Islamists have been more lenient with the locals because they are from the same tribes. But Timbuktu is controlled by hard-liners from all three groups, particularly AQIM, which is largely made up of foreigners. There, the sharia codes have been fiercely enforced.
Juddu Bojuama, 26, was thrown in jail, accused by the Islamist police of drinking a beer. His denials went unheard. "They beat me 100 times with a tree branch," he said, pointing at his back and legs.
Dedeou, the laborer, suffered even more. He recalled having no attorney when he stood before an Islamic judge on charges of stealing a mattress. Afterward, he said, police tied his arms and legs and took away his cellphone. They took him to a clearing near the Niger River, where a man gave him two injections that put him to sleep.
Dedeou woke up in a hospital. His right hand had been amputated.
An Islamist fighter, standing guard at his bedside, uttered a judgment that Dedeou said he could never forget:
"This is the punishment God has decided for you."

This is dreadful but why do the people put up with it? Unless they discover the virtures of collective action they will be bullied like this forever. I thought Muslims were meant to be fearless fighters etc. Stop cowering in a corner. Iexpect most of the most able and fittest have fled leaving behind only the decrepit and sick, but even so, the Malians ought to grow a pair.

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday
With Mariachis and Muchos Amigos, Richard Thomas' Daughters Celebrate a First Birthday in Triplicate
Actually, the party was 17 days late. First Thomas had to wrap up filming his NBC movie Living Proof, in which he plays country singer Hank Williams Jr., in Nashville. Then he attended the San Francisco Opera opening of good friend Luciano Pavarotti, who was the first non-family member to see the triplets after their Aug. 26, 1981 birth. But nobody seemed bothered by the delay. "Wonders never cease!" exclaimed ecstatic great-grandma Grace Thomas, 75, flown in from Paintsville, Ky. to see her great-granddaughters for the first time. "I just can't wait till they come to visit me on my farm." Hitter, who years ago played Reverend Fordwick on The Waltons, was awed by the parents' endurance. "I'd have to drink a lot of coffee," he laughed. "We can hardly keep up with two kids [Jason, 2, and Carly, 6 months] as it is." Sally Struthers, imagining herself in Alma's place, exclaimed simply, "I'd die." Some 50 mostly non-showbiz friends and relatives shared that sentiment, as did the proud papa. "I get up every morning and thank God I have three beautiful little girls and a wonderful son," said Thomas, also father to Richard Jr. 6. "But I know who makes it all work—Alma. She's a wife and a mother, and she has a great sense of pride and accomplishment in that. And she still remains her own woman."

Global Education Program (GEP)
The Global Education Program (GEP) is a teaching practicum experience that offers pre-service teachers a diverse range of experiences in educational settings beyond Victoria, Australia. In 2016, the GEP will travel to the Northern Territory, Vanuatu, Canada, Nepal, Switzerland, and Malaysia (Jan '17).
Past participants in the program often claim the experience as the highlight of their pre-service teaching course. The personal and professional benefits of engaging in an international or remote community experience are demonstrable. It challenges pre-service teachers to think about, deal with, and appreciate cultural and educational knowledge and/or practices and perspectives different from their own. And the result is the development of a broader range of teaching and learning approaches and a more global perspective on education.
If you missed the September 2015 information sessions about the 2016 GEP, you can find the presentation at: GEP Presentation.
Select destination for more information.
Please note:
The following information on destinations is based on 2016 programs. Students interested in a GEP in 2017 are welcome to come to an information session in mid-late September. Applications for 2017 GEP programs will open in March 2017.

Applying for the Global Education Program
Eligibility for GEP participation is restricted to students who have successfully completed a local practicum and are in at least the third year of their undergraduate education course, or have successfully completed EPR701 in the Master of Teaching.
To be eligible, students must be currently enrolled one of these courses:
- Bachelor of Education (Primary)
- Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary)/Bachelor of Arts
- Bachelor of Teaching (Science)/Bachelor of Science
- Bachelor of Health and Physical Education
- Master of Teaching
And have a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 50 at time of application*.
*exception can be made for Master of Teaching students applying for GEP NT during their first trimester of study.
The GEP can be undertaken either as:
- a replacement for an approved placement that would normally be undertaken in your studies,
- a component in the elective unit EEG402 - Teaching in a Global World (not available in all courses)
See below 'Approved units for the GEP' for detail on approved units for each destination.
Costs and funding your GEP
Studying overseas or interstate doesn't need to break the bank!
You may eligible for assistance from an OS-HELP Loan, WIL Support Bursary or a Faculty Travel Grant, to help with the cost of travel, accommodation and program costs.
See Arts and Education Financial Assistance for more information.
New Colombo Plan scholarships in 2016:
We are pleased to announce there will be New Colombo Plan funding for the following GEP destinations in 2016:
- Nepal: 15 scholarships at $3000 each
- Vanuatu: 13 scholarships at $2000 each
- Malaysia: 10 scholarships at $3000 each
All students selected for one of these destinations will be considered for a New Colombo Plan scholarship. No additional application is required.
Applicants will be assessed based on a combination of the following criteria: social-economic status, first international experience with Deakin, Weighted Average Mark (WAM) and personal statements in online application for GEP.
Travel Insurance
We know insurance is boring, but registering your travel insurance the most important thing you will organise for your program. As a Deakin student travelling on a Deakin program, the great news is your travel insurance is complimentary. The insurance provided will even cover you for up to 10 days of leisure travel absolutely free! How cool is that!
If you have leisure travel of more than 10 days, you can purchase an extended insurance plan through QBE.
BUT – you need to register for your travel insurance, it is not automatic (except GEP Northern Territory, who are automatically insured for the duration on their Australian placement).
For all international GEP programs, you will find a link to the registration form the in the DeakinAbroad Portal, once you are made an offer into a GEP program.
You can find more information at: www.deakin.edu.au/students/enrolment-fees-and-money/insurance
How to apply for GEP
Applications for 2016 will open in early Trimester 1. Now is the time to get planning and organised.

The latest Nike SB Dunk Low Premium release is at first glance a fairly 'standard' colorway, both in the sense that it's far from Swoosh skateboarding's craziest potentiality, and that they're built using a variety of familiar design cues from the past. It starts off with the classic 'Be True to Your School' colorblocking pattern debuted on the 'Original 7' from 1985, and even includes the white midsole that's become nearly omnipresent on Dunk releases since. These also employ a woodgrain-textured underlay that we've seen on a few Dunk Low SBs as well as the Zoom Stefan Janoski SB series. And last but not least, you can't help but notice the slightest lean toward the ever popular 'Gucci' color palette thanks to Atom Red accents on the embroidery combined with the Pine Green and black upper, and all this quintessentially SB goodness is yours for the taking now at shops like Concepts.

Lady Dogs upend Lafayette
SCOTT – It may be a cliche', but the third time was the charm for the Iota Lady Bulldogs when it came to playing the Lafayette Lady Lions.
Paired against the Lady Lions in the opening round of the Acadiana Tournament Thursday night, the Lady Dogs (4-3) used a second-half surge to erase an eight-point halftime deficit and hold on for a 41-36 victory over the Class 5A power.
The victory avenged a pair of losses to the Lady Lions just over a week ago.
"I wasn't losing to them (Lafayette) again," said IHS coach Meghann LeJeune, whose team lost to the Lady Lions at home on Nov. 21 (45-36) and then again on Nov. 26 in double overtime (56-47) at the North Vermilion tournament.
"Someone had asked me if I was tired of playing Lafayette and I said: 'No, I'm tired of losing to them."
Early on, it looked as if the losing trend would continue when the Lady Lions caused countless turnovers with their fullcourt pressure and forged out to a 22-14 advantage.
"We cannot run with these athletic teams and in the first half, we started to panic a little bit," said LeJeune. "We play fundamental basketball and that's what we base our program on. As soon as we stop trying to run with these teams and we start playing composed basketball, we do fine."
The Lady Dogs found their composure in the third quarter and applied pressure of their own, forcing the Lady Lions into six turnovers of their own.
In addition, they all but eliminated Lafayette's inside game during the quarter and held the Lady Lions to just five points.
"They have a really good post game and my best post defender (Taylor DeVille) is out (lineup) right now so we tried something different with a full post front and lots of backside help and in the third quarter, it was there," said LeJeune.
While the Lady Dogs were clicking on defense, their offense came alive as well. They outscored the Lady Lions 14-5 to take a 28-27 advantage, their first lead since early in the first quarter.
"We just settled down in the offense and we were able to find the open holes," said LeJeune.
Freshman Whitney Landry played a huge part in the rally after hitting a jumper in the lane before draining a 3-pointer on the next trip down the floor. She added another layup in the frame and finished the night with nine points.
"Whitney is a very good instinctual player and she's very aggressive," said LeJeune. "She is not timid at all and she got after it tonight."
The Lady Lions drained a 3-pointer to regain the lead (32-30) with five minutes remaining in the game but Iota went on an 11-4 run from there to close out the game. Brittany Johnson connected on four of six free throw attempts in the final minute to seal the victory.
"Within the last few games, our girls have been clutch at the free throw line," said LeJeune. "And when we're in the bonus, I like to put the ball in Brittany's hand because she hardly ever misses. Her and Jillian (Boone), you can't really go wrong there."
Mallory Faul had a big game for the Lady Dogs as well and finished with 10 points, including five in the fourth quarter.
Landry followed with nine points, Johnson added eight, Madison Smith scored six and Alexis St. Andre had four. Boone and Cambri St. Andre rounded out the scoring with two points apiece.

Think your friends might be familiar with this merchant? Ask your friends on Facebook to see what they think.
Don't let the name mislead you – Willman's offers much more than fish and chips, including fresh-caught Digby clams, a renowned seafood chowder and a sizable baked halibut plate. This family-friendly restaurant looks every bit the part of the classic diner, right down to the dark wood chairs and cashier behind the counter. It's a crisp 'n' clean Maritime dining experience: You'll get your greasy battered fish, sure, but also caramelized onions, pickled asparagus and golden potato wedges, if you like.
Willman's has been in operation since the 1940s, yet it often flies under the radar because it's tucked away on a side street in the Hydrostone. Make the trip: The fish is fresh, with just the right amount of batter to stay crispy, accompanied by mountains of fries. With a checkerboard floor and views onto charming, tree-lined streets, the dining room at Willman's is an inviting spot.

I went to this store recently to renew my contact prescription and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the staff is there.

Keep up the good work!

Would stronger civil mental illness commitment laws or violent free speech restrictions protect us from loony gun control nuts?
Last we checked the Sierra Club hasn't the power to impose draconian environmental protection laws that kill jobs and the National Rifle Association hasn't replaced Congress and the President as the legislative and executive branches of government. Lobbyists, more accurately referred to as Americans exercising free speech and press rights, do not make laws. We only wish that more of those non-registered lobbyists in the media that write columns, host Meet the Press or appear on The (Fox News) Panel resorted more to logic and reason as much as Wayne LaPierre.
Within hours of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, elected Democrats including President Barack Obama and their media enablers wasted no time in using the deaths of children to resurrect their anti-Second Amendment, gun control agenda. In fact, within days, the President used the school shooting as a reason for raising tax rates on small business, but I digress.
Wayne LaPierre patiently waited a week before issuing a comprehensive response to the murderous rampage of Adam Lanza. The centerpiece of his NRA proposal was to advocate for armed guards in schools:
During a press conference Friday, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre says these people might still be alive today if school personnel were armed when 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza entered Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun," LaPierre said.
LaPierre says that the lack of mental health reform and the prevalence of violent video games and movies can lead to these types of tragedies.
The vitriol leveled at LaPierre by many liberals and Democrats exceeded that leveled by them at Saddam Hussein or even Osama bin laden. But after all, they share hatred of America with Islamists. Wayne LaPierre obviously loves America and its children so much that he proposed what could make more children more safe the fastest. Changing civil commitment laws in states or at the national level would take many months, if not years. Same with repealing the First Amendment to ban violent games and movies, but again, I digress.
But before K-12 re-convenes after the Christmas/New Years Day holiday, any school in America not prohibited by state law could arm a security guard on the premises during the school day. Yet, we are asked to consider that proposal, variously, as "tone-deaf", "loony" or "laughable" by wizards of smart David Gregory of NBC News, Newtown's Congressman and even a Fox News Special Report "The Panel" member A.B. Stoddard (with very little push back from conservatives Hayes or Krauthammer), respectively. The Meet the Press host also displayed the tabloid headline of the "conservative" New York Post referring to LaPierre and his speech, thusly: "Gun Nut. N.R.A. Loon in Bizarre Rant over Newtown."
We don't remember the same level of incredulity being leveled at former Department of Education Secretary, Bill Bennett last week when he proposed the same thing. We do recall 12 years of worship by David Gregory and fellow Democrats in and out of the media of the former president since he stated the following in 2000, on the one-year anniversary of the Colorado school shooting at Columbine:
Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for "COPS in School," a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.
"Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need," Clinton said.
President Clinton signed crime legislation passed by a Republican Congress that paid local schools to hire armed security. Moreover, most of those, treating the NRA as if it had proposed giving free vodka to alcoholics, send their children to private schools with armed security.
Of course, these facts weren't mentioned on MTP. Rather, Gregory attempted to play trial lawyer with a cross-examination of LaPierre that sought to treat as a fatal "admission" that an armed guard might not always prevent all deaths by murderous gunman. LaPierre deftly reminded the MTP host that the problem at Columbine was not that security guards were present and armed, but that state law procedures had prevented those guards from responding immediately; and that those laws were changed after the massacre.
Gregory and the Left want more gun control, much as they crave ever more health care control, profit control and control of every aspect of life by an ever larger government populated by liberals like them that know best. It doesn't matter that Columbine occurred while President Clinton's federal assault weapon ban was in place. It doesn't matter that Lanza legally used his mother's guns purchased in Connecticut, which had and has an assault weapons ban.
It doesn't matter that Lanza would have been less likely to be forced into a straight jacket based upon his behavior prior to his murderous rampage than would elected Democrats and liberals in the media using violent, war-like metaphors aimed at conservatives.
Federal law already requires background checks for most gun sales and prohibits any sale to a convicted felon. State laws are even more strict.
But the liberal press and the Democratic Party long ago eschewed logic, facts and reason. Except for a few, like attorney Alan Dershowitz:
"There are better ways of addressing school safety," Dershowitz said. "Look, I recently was in Congress and in the White House. And to get into any of those buildings, you have to go through one door first, and it locks behind you. Then you have to go through another door, and you get tested for metal and everything else. Our schools should be as safe as our Congress."
"Look at buildings — you go to visit a law firm today, you can't just walk up to see the partner," Dershowitz said. "You have to go and present ID. It's the reality of life. It's far less restrictive of freedom if we have that than if we start locking people up based on suspicion, start controlling video games, start tinkering with the Second Amendment in its broadest sense. I think there are things we can do to make our schools safer, and they will require compromises with convenience. But we have to make our schools safer."
Dershowitz felt the liberal wrath from CNN on this matter, much as he did when he supported water boarding after 9/11. When it comes to protecting Americans from jihadists, the liberals will eat their own. But who knew that if non-celebrities and non-government officials wished to protect their children in school, they would be so vociferously denounced.
This conservative doesn't favor federal laws that force local schools to protect their children. We favor state and local control of education. But Wayne LaPierre and the NRA gave us a stark contrast this week between his considered, adult behavior in the wake of the latest school shooting as opposed to the childish rants of the liberals, Democrats and even a few timid Republicans.
What this conservative wants for Christmas for "the children" is that they be protected from the adult children populating government and the press by more conservatives in academia, the press, and government; especially including a good guy with a gun just down the hall from first grade.
