Abstract:
To achieve lasting social change, we need a movement that is driven by powerful, resilient, creative, and impactful individuals who stay in this work for the long-haul. At Move to End Violence, we believe that to show up this way -- as our most impactful and innovative selves -- we need to intentionally practice self-care. We created the 21-Day Challenge to help build a powerful community of movement activists engaged in this practice together.

Abstract:
A short, free, authentic math professional development video for teachers in which an adult educator demonstrates to a High School Completion Program student some important test taking strategies. He thinks his way through a question, sorts through and deals with the parts of the question, revisits the question's information as he needs to, and pieces it back together. He comes up with a solution that he is confident in. He models his problem solving process out loud, he says, so that students can see how it works, so they can do it themselves, so they become independent learners The video will be found at this web address: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=83
