The interactive classroom : practical strategies for involving students in the learning process
\"Despite what we now know about how the brain works as it relates to learning, there continue to be too many educators who rely on lecture to enable them to \"cover the material.\" Standardized testing has increased the pressure to make students passive participants in what should be an active experience. Students of all ages need structured class time to process information and become actively engaged in the learning process. This book provides strategies for doing just that, as well as solid, effective presentation techniques that enhance educators' instructional and assessment skills and promote student learning. If you want the classroom experience to result in deeper understanding and engagement and the acquisition of new knowledge, then students must become active participants in the learning process. The Interactive Classroom covers many different topics related to how students learn best, including classroom management, participant interaction, relationship-building, and the use of music in the classroom. New to this edition is an emphasis on best uses of technology, project-based learning, and formative assessment. The tools and techniques can be used in classrooms from elementary through secondary and can also be utilized by school leaders in faculty meetings and workshops and by instructional specialists and coordinators in training seminars. The author emphasizes how the brain can be activated by using various senses, intelligences, and abilities\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Clinicopathological and pedigree investigation of a novel spinocerebellar neurological disease in juvenile Quarter Horses in North America
Abstract
Background
In 2020, a novel neurologic disease was observed in juvenile Quarter Horses (QHs) in North America. It was unknown if this was an aberrant manifestation of another previously described neurological disorder in foals, such as equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM).
Hypothesis/Objectives
To describe the clinical findings, outcomes, and postmortem changes with Equine Juvenile Spinocerebellar Ataxia (EJSCA), differentiate the disease from other similar neurological disorders, and determine a mode of inheritance.
Animals
Twelve neurologically affected QH foals and the dams.
Methods
Genomic DNA was isolated and pedigrees were manually constructed.
Results
All foals (n = 12/12) had a history of acute onset of neurological deficits with no history of trauma. Neurological deficits were characterized by asymmetrical spinal ataxia, with pelvic limbs more severely affected than thoracic limbs. Clinicopathological abnormalities included high serum activity of gamma-glutamyl transferase and hyperglycemia. All foals became recumbent (median, 3 days: [0–18 days]), which necessitated humane euthanasia (n = 11/12, 92%; the remaining case was found dead). Histological evaluation at postmortem revealed dilated myelin sheaths and digestion chambers within the spinal cord, most prominently in the dorsal spinocerebellar tracts. Pedigree analysis revealed a likely autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.
Conclusions and Clinical Importance
EJSCA is a uniformly fatal, rapidly progressive, likely autosomal recessive neurological disease of QHs <1 month of age in North America that is etiologically distinct from other clinically similar neurological disorders. Once the causative variant for EJSCA is validated, carriers can be identified through genetic testing to inform breeding decisions.
