Academic Advising in a Personalized Learning Environment

Guidance counselling in Canadian secondary schools today is coming under greater pressure. There are more students experiencing mental health issues, which impact their wellness. Student wellness demand has an impact on the ability of guidance counsellors to provide deep and meaningful academic and post-secondary advising for students. This OIP will look at one Independent school in Canada and how it is experiencing the same shift in student’s wellness that demands Counsellors attention. This school is also undergoing a transformational change to a personalized learning environment as the predominant teaching and learning model. This shift requires transformational leadership and provides an opportunity for the school’s Student Guidance Centre to align with the personalized learning philosophy and apply it to academic advising and post-secondary decision-making. The school’s mission demands that academic advising and decision-making are priorities for the school counsellors in their work with students toward their post-secondary choice. This decision needs to be deeper and more meaningful for students and this is what will drive the change required. This leads to the Problem of Practice. In a personalized learning environment framework, what are the factors/conditions that deeply impact the post-secondary decisions of students? Academic advising and post-secondary decision-making involve a variety of guidance processes throughout secondary school. These various processes require attention and movement away from the status quo and traditional methods that are currently in place. This OIP discusses various options for change but focuses on one aspect. That aspect is a new personalized online Careers course that is personalized. The student will be at the centre of teaching and learning in the course

\u3ci\u3eIxodes Dentatus\u3c/i\u3e (Acari: Ixodidae) in Michigan: First State Records and Occurrence on a Human

An Ixodes dentatus adult female was taken from a cottontail rabbit in Kalamazoo County, and a nymph from a child in Berrien County, in 1992 in Michigan. These findings represent the first records of I.dentatus in the state, and document an unusual parasitization of a human being by this species of tick

Culvert inventory and effects on fish assemblages in a Central Appalachian watershed

We surveyed 120 state-owned culverts within the upper Cheat River basin, West Virginia, and used a fish passage evaluation filter to quantify passage barriers. We quantified the length of stream and weighted potential brook trout recruitment area isolated by each culvert. We also sampled fish communities upstream and downstream of 24 culverts to quantify the impacts of culvert-related isolation on fish assemblages. We found 69% of culverts to be completely impassable. We determined that 17% of the stream length and 23% of weighted potential recruitment area in the study area were isolated by impassable culverts. We found that impassable culverts are more likely to occur on small, steep, streams. We found that species richness and blacknose dace densities were negatively impacted upstream of culverts and culverts are more likely to impact species that are limited to larger streams, although culvert-related impacts are more pronounced on small streams
