Preservice teachers at Washington State University Vancouver are able to get top-notch in-class instruction. We recently visited two different classes taught by Dr. Shameem Rakha, one Classroom Management (TL 310), the other Diversity in Schools and Society (TL 330). It was quite evident that WSU Vancouver, as well as our faculty, are adding to our students' desire to teach by helping them build capacity to be agents of change.

Scientology's emeter is modified to use in the "secular" branch called Applied Scholastics. The new meter is called a Learning Accelerator. It has the same components of an emeter, which Scientology claims is a "religious artifact" and is used in the same manner. The use of this is for "Word Clearing". What is a non-religious group doing using a "proprietary religious artifact"?
Jordan Peterson & Environmentalism
Listening to academics discuss topics can be done while not becoming part of their 'thought cult' - Jordan Peterson is a great example
Jordan Peterson has been a rather contrarian figure to discuss online. Regardless of who you're talking to about Joran Peterson, you either associate with certain groups, or get associated with groups. As in all things, there's a middle you should strive for. Appreciating somebody's work academically and their intelligence should not have to be to directly associated to any political commitment. Everyone has something to teach, an qualified individual such as Jordan Peterson especially so. His discussions related to Clinical Psychology, the field he is academically certified for, are quite informative. He particularly focuses on men's psychology but also discusses woman's psychology & general life. His talks are quite helpful for everyone, particularly young males. Just listening with an open mind may surprise you how well he puts feelings into ideas.
Another topic that he has talked about a more recently is environmentalism. An interesting note, he is not a fan of the current environmental movement's ethics, but is very much a left-wing individual. Most of his arguments are against, not the movement itself, but of the morals/ethics behind the actions. A thought experiment is the contrast of developing nations and pushing for environmentalism.
SHU Learning Spaces. The Atrium (Apologies for the quality of the picture).
Two levels of 'social' space utilised for self-study or group work. This space is otherwise 'dead' space linking corridors in the building.
Both floors have students working, alone or in small groups, using laptops, books, papers, or just talking.
If you look closely you can also see a reflection of something similar going on in the Heartspace cafe on the 2nd floor.
