Social Issue(s): (Unplanned) Parenthood, Delinquency & Unemployment Rate
PASSION OF THE CHRIST
Butterflies remind us of new beginnings, transformation, and change. Many choose to follow Jesus in action, attitude, word and deed. Therefore, although butterflies are not specifically mentioned in the ancient text, they are naturally symbolic of a new creation in Christ.
Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, ?since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Everyone is a slave to something - the Anglo world power, money, their own selfish desires . . . I would rather be a slave to God like Mother Mary. The Bible does not promote slavery. The ancient scriptures do record warnings and promises for those involved in human trafficking and cruelty. Mankind is being allowed to rule over man - to our own injury. When you look at the news or walk through a slum village you may appreciate the consequences. Notice deep state government corruption, brazen corporate greed and most recently systemic exploitation of covetous children, foolish youth and stupid ones loaded down with sexual sin, drug dependency and idolatry.?
Bad association spoils useful habits - Corinthians 15:33?
Pre-pandemic a mentor confessed, “You don’t know how powerful you are.”?
Recently a new acquaintance remarked, “Maybe they see something good in you.”
I have come to appreciate that others may pay attention to our actions, attitudes, words and deeds because not everyone has spiritual gifts.
As disciples we appear especially vibrant, our skin and eye seemingly beaming with a radiant inner light. When our spiritual energy is aligned with love and the light of truth we have a supernatural aura about us. Even when we do not yet recognize this quality in our own reflections others do. Our presence, energy and how we move through this dangerous world is what makes us no part of it. It is time to embrace the narrow path ahead in celebration of our vast difference from the bloodthirsty and pervasive immorality of a declining western civilization. We are rare and that is why people act strangely around us - it is not only due to our physicality . . . Witnesses all around us notice a Godly glow that emanates outwardly from our clean hearts - influencing everything even if it is not articulated.?
Our countenance allows us to rise above every unfavorable situation or circumstance as a reflection of the authority our Grand Creator has given us.?
Nothing transpires in our day without us intuitively being made aware of it - sensing subtle shifts in mood, energy transfers; plots/schemes and nonverbal communications. We prove not only emotionally generous but hyper intelligent.? Instinct and our subconscious are able to accurately discern what lurks deep beneath the surface in spite of words unspoken. Through the Ancient Greek scriptures meek ones are commissioned to, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” In his letters to the congregations in Palestine the writer Matthew (c. 41) seeks to help future generations of footstep followers of the Christ to listen carefully - to be wise and innocent to badness. Inspired by HIS Holy Spirit these basic instructions before leaving earth mandate that to receive the “Crown of life” we must choose no self-serving agenda.
The systems that were taught are irrelevant and are dismantling themselves . . . We were not born to blend in AND the world knows it. We are preserved alive as a living sign that the norms are to be challenged by our simple existence.?
Continue to inspire others to even greater acts of love and obedience. Continue to stand on your integrity - very demure, very mindful; very considerate and very approachable. People hold themselves in a new way when you are going too and from -? shifting the atmosphere. The measure of understanding I have been given motivates me to break up deeply entrenched inequities through ethical consumption - my practical life in hospitality towards the lowly.?
This Edition

Field Notes of a Florida Master Naturalist - Extreme Weather Debrief
Disclaimer: November’s scheduled topic has been shelved to bring you insights from ground zero in the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Seaboard. If sea water vapors condense into storm clouds then an extreme weather vortex is born because the storm system isn’t met with resistance from smaller air current systems.?
Northern California Wildfire verse Gulf Surge
When contrasting the East and West coast consider the firestorm phenomenon. During an El Ni?o year storm systems were held offshore by a descending northern cold front - caused by melting ice caps. The result was a bit of rain followed by drought. This allows the underbrush to grow over three feet high and dry out like kindling (May through October) in California. When the trade winds changed for the first time in? six decades a fire ripped through the sleepy valley of rolling golden hills.?70-100 mile per hour winds disseminated fire ambers. I observed a wall of fire rise over the foothills of Sonoma Mountain as if dawn at 2am. Within twenty minutes fire balls emerged from the darkness - headed directly at me. I ran for my life. There was no time to stop for a selfie. I was able to jump into the passenger side doorway of a motor vehicle that stopped because the driver leaned over and threw the door open for me. Just as we turned out of Sonoma State University campus back parking lot we watched fireballs light the landscaping on fire. I slept on her floor for two weeks . . . This Good Samaritan took me to her place of worship where I was able to seek the comfort of the Christian congregation. We fed around 1,100 people by the mercy and grace of Jah. More than 11,000 residents were temporarily displaced. Scared, hungry and in need of love. Fast forward to 2020 mass migration from California residents to Arizona, Texas and Florida. I chose Florida because I was invited by a Colombian family that hosted me for the first few months in Miami during the great Silicon Valley tech migration. My intent was to quickly align with a congregation and identify a graduate program to study climate change in the Gulf States. I noticed nothing kept Helene nor Milton off shore. With no competing minor weather patterns to push back a surge engulfed the region causing chaos and confusion.?

Task Statement
Chrysalis Practice ?
“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.” — Isaac Newton
Pilot Program focuses on individualized treatment and education plans suggest the use of assessments to identify specific areas where support is needed, such as academic abilities, mental health needs, and vocational interests. Individualized Treatment Plans (ITP) structure is adaptable to learners and tailored for "discrete screening by practitioners'' during team-building activities. Standardized behavioral assessments can provide quantitative data on specific behaviors and skill levels. Clinical interviews can be used to gather qualitative information on participants' thoughts, feelings, and experiences by AI assisted technology. Interest inventories are predicted to help identify participants' vocational interests and aptitudes. Using formative assessment tools suggests that observations for reporting will be documented during group activities. Incorporation of youth and family voices in developing rubrics and evaluation criteria implies that self-assessment, interviews, or surveys may be used to gather participants' perspectives on their needs and strengths.
Science & Technology: Navigating AI assisted software technology to geotagging native species (observations) for identification is considered a research grade contribution to science. By understanding the risks associated with non-native species and taking proactive steps to support biodiversity, the National Heritage Program can play a part in protecting the bioindicator species for generations to come.
Engineering: Youth can also contribute to conservation efforts by participating in citizen science projects delivering public awareness to incremental building with upcycled loose and/or natural parts; circular design & construction.
Golden Naturalist certification may be evaluated for physic gardening, scientific illustration, principled leadership, storytelling and environmental management.
Arts: Nature photography, nature poetry, scientific illustration & creation stories. Unit themes include: The life-cycle (dual language intro; art and science cluster).
Curriculum should include colony and migration lessons (physical education, social science and biology cluster).
Athletics: Track & field, cross country/trail running sessions unlock access to nature in a conserved state for outdoor sporting, fitness and recreation. On-site BioBlitz events quickly help research scientists remotely gather valuable data on keystone, endemic native; noxious, invasive and/or non-native species, bioindicator species migration patterns, and parasite prevalence.
Land management field contact is centered around investigating maps to determine where stickball and/or pickleball courts may be lightly established across forest clearings, day sites and trailhead space.
Mathematics: Sacred Geometry, Statistics and Business Math
Curriculum Cluster: Integrate science and technology with mathematics and engineering. Few educators are qualified to amalgamate fine arts and the humanities with STEM education. Our pathway to progress (sans a shame and punishment model) is committed to facilitating education and training; evaluation and certification for military families recovering from separation anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and maltreatment. Practicum incorporates science, technology, engineering and mathematics into fine/performing/visual arts AND athletics to celebrate diversity and inclusion.
Geological survey is facilitated to capture nature photography. The most historically oppressed language and cultural groups are now leading innovation efforts globally out of their resiliency!
Geological survey mandates track and field; cross country activities. Pinhole photography is developed for scientific experimentation. Scientific experiments are recorded audio/visual. Photos, digital images/ film stills are projected or traced to develop scientifically accurate drawings. Scientific illustration supports project-based written and oral language arts. Language and cultural studies deliver integrated curriculum.
Cultural and ethnic differences are not to be treated as a deficit.
However it is appropriate for practitioners to be proactive in screening and responding to the developmental deficit(s) concerning targets of childhood maltreatment within historically disenfranchised populations.
Data Collection: The purpose of focus groups is to gather in-depth qualitative data on student experiences, opinions, and perceived learning outcomes. Discussion topics allow sacred circle time to explore student understanding of key concepts, perceived relevance of the material, and changes in attitudes or behaviors. A skilled moderator to facilitate open and honest discussions concerning shared student portfolios.
The purpose of nature journaling is to collect examples of students' poetry, art and mathematics work to assess knowledge acquisition and skill development.
Content may include plant identification logs, research data, creative writing assignments, and reflections on community action projects. The program aims to prepare participants for employment through vocational training. Tracking their job or externship placement and school retention rates will be important indicators of program completion. Images and scientific drawings may be delivered to the National Heritage Program. Pinhole photography shall feature endangered and threatened species. Mainly pictures of federally listed species in landscape orientation Small portrait pictures of state-listed species, which can be found in the same habitat as the federally listed species. Photos should be archived using the plant's scientific name. Witnesses of participants in Naturalist activities shall provide valuable information on their reactions, interactions, and capabilities. On camera interviews with participants can offer deeper insights into their individual experiences, perspectives, and transgressions. Records, such as attendance sheets, progress reports, and incident reports, shall provide quantitative and qualitative data on participant performance and assets.
Participants & Engagement: High levels of participation and retention could suggest that youth programs commit to effectively address stigma and foster a sense of investment in personal growth. Advocates for theoretical foundations should acknowledge stigma and lack of motivation. Staff trained in observational methods must systematically document changes in participants' behavior, engagement, and interactions with peers and staff over time. This could include tracking participation in group activities, level of effort and initiative, and expressions of positive affect. Enrichment programs must utilize pre- and post-program assessments that measure constructs related to stigma, motivation, and self-efficacy. Examples include the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Research shall track attendance rates, completion of activities, and overall retention as indirect indicators of participants' engagement and motivation.
Data can be used to gather information on a larger scale, potentially providing insights into broader trends and patterns. Focus groups: These allow for in-depth exploration of specific topics and can generate rich qualitative data through facilitated discussions. Work release style diversion is predicted to time-line participants' growth progress, such as grade promotion, high school completion, and college enrollment, as indicators of success.
Tools like the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDs) may be used to assess participants' emotional and psychological well-being. Clinical professionals must be commissioned to administer performance measurements, likely focusing on participants' acquisition of skills related to DBT, nature-based therapies, and vocational training.
Observational data may include recording langage samples, running records, frequency counts, and antecedent-behavior-consequence (ABC) reports. Vocational and applied research must incorporate youth and family voices in developing rubrics and evaluation criteria. This suggests that surveys, focus groups, or interviews may be used to gather their perspectives on program effectiveness and outcomes. Recidivism Rates: tracking participants' involvement in the justice system post-program will be a key measure of the program's success in reducing adolescent criminal behavior and unplanned pregnancy.
Evaluation plan proposes to organically develop a rubric to assess the quality and depth of student work. In addition, prior Teacher Interviews are conducted for the purpose of gaining insights into the implementation of the curriculum, challenges faced, and perceived effectiveness. Topics to discuss include teacher preparation, behavior modification strategies, each student’s past engagement trends, and suggestions for marked improvement. A professional to be hired from the community is mandated to conduct semi-structured interviews, oversee use of AI assisted intake software with teachers individually or in groups.
Content should include questions about project outcomes, community involvement, and perceived changes in environmental attitudes. Grant administration shall include distribution of surveys to National Parks Systems involved in student projects. Social media analysis can monitor online discussions and engagement related to STEAM curriculum and grass-roots youth conservation efforts.
Platform presence may be used to track relevant hashtags, keywords, and mentions on platforms like Threads, Instagram, and LinkedIn. By combining these data collection methods, researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the curriculum's impact on student learning, environmental attitudes, and community engagement. This information can be used to refine understanding of Nature Pedagogy in teaching, inform future educational initiatives, and promote the importance of conservation or “Green job” career pathways.
To effectively evaluate the impact of hands-on and outdoor curriculum on student learning and mental attitudes, a mixed-methods approach incorporating specific data collection methods is recommended. The purpose of pre- and post-curriculum surveys is to assess baseline knowledge and attitudes. Content must include questions about their views and opinions, ecological concepts, and willingness to engage in therapy efforts. Administration of surveys online conserves paper and reduces errors in interpretation of handwriting at the beginning and end of each program component. The purpose of classroom observations is witnessing student engagement, participation, and interaction with the curriculum content to support court rulings. Reporting records such as frequency counts, language samples and running records note student attentiveness, questions asked, and contributions to discussions and activities.
Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) will actively share its insights and lessons learned with community partners, policymakers, and other stakeholders through workshops, webinars, and collaborative events.
The action research process will inform the development of a replicable program model that can be adapted and implemented in other communities or regions. CBPR employs regular debriefing sessions to reflect on observations, analyze data, and identify emerging themes and patterns. Findings from the action research will be disseminated through reports, journal articles, and presentations at conferences and workshops. Research take away shall to be disseminated: How effective are nature-based interventions, combined with DBT, in reducing recidivism and improving mental health outcomes for at-risk youth? What are the key components of successful community-based work release programs that promote positive youth development and reintegration? How can we effectively engage and retain justice-involved youth in a voluntary, community-based program? What are the most effective strategies for training staff to deliver evidence-based interventions in a nature-based setting? How can we scale up this program model to reach a wider population of at-risk youth while maintaining program fidelity and effectiveness?
Outcomes proposed may include successful reentry, reduction of symptoms, prosocial behavior, academic enrichment, improved performance and increased treatment satisfaction. A decrease in the rate of re-offending among program participants compared to a control group or baseline data could be measured by tracking arrests, convictions, or probation violations within a specified time frame (e.g., 12 months post-program). A reduction in symptoms of substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health needs could be measured using standardized assessment tools (e.g., SUDs, Beck Depression Inventory) pre- and post-program, as well as at follow-up intervals. An increase in positive behaviors and attitudes, such as empathy, cooperation, and conflict resolution skills could be measured through observational data, peer and staff ratings, or self-report questionnaires. Acquisition of specific vocational skills relevant to environmental stewardship and conservation careers could be measured through pre- and post-program assessments of skill proficiency, attainment of certifications, or job placement rates. An increase in school attendance, grades, and graduation rates among program participants could be measured through school records and reports.
Positive feedback from participants and their families regarding the program's effectiveness and impact on their lives could be measured through surveys, focus groups, or interviews.
These measurable outcomes will provide a clear picture of the program's effectiveness in achieving its goals and will be essential for demonstrating its impact to funders and stakeholders.

Deprivatizing the Montessori Method for standardized homeschool or public instruction offers a grace and courtesy scaffolding that seeks to remedy caregiver participation and engagement conflicts per hospitality and practical life exercises. The cornerstone of a free society is to treat your neighbor as yourself and to love with your whole heart, mind, and soul. At its core, naturalism tells the origin story of the Milky Way Galaxy and Earth’s ecosystem to instill a whole-soul appreciation for our essential role within it. This knowledge begins with self-understanding, care for the environment, and respect for the free will of others.
Activities recommended are participant led to explore sensory awareness, trust, and concentration. Participants develop empathy for others and the environment as they compare and contrast their own principles with those of their supporters.
The goal of the "Nature Meditations" activity is to awaken enthusiasm and share inspiration. Spending time in gardens offers countless benefits for people of all ages. It can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance creativity. But beyond these general advantages, nature can also be a powerful tool for personal growth and development, especially when combined with intentional activities that focus cultural enrichment. Researchers know self-concept influences identity and a sense of agency. Outdoor gardening promotes mindfulness and self sufficiency. Replacing fearful assumptions with trusted facts aids crisis communication through fine/visual/performing; written and oral language arts. Relational intelligence involves self-awareness, metacognition, and understanding each other's developmental niche (Super & Harkness). Youth advocates are trained to discern the psychology of caregivers and appreciate peers’ home culture, environment, and family values.
Call to Action
According to Teicher (2002), caregiver separation is considered an adverse experience. The Health and Human Services “Welfare” system is broken and sustainable public pathways must be rooted within underserved rural communities. Medical institutions, public education and human service agencies are still recovering from the ramifications of a prolonged war; global pandemic, and onslaughts of unprecedented “Extreme weather” conditions. It was hit hardest in 2019 when the global shutdown interrupted access to public spaces and teacher credential licensure programs were unable to migrate to the virtual learning space due to the physical nature of service. The objective is to meet the needs of widows, orphans and ones with no helper; military veterans; servicemen and their dependents by advancing, directing, and promoting the field of Ecopsychology (Depth Psychology).
Skill building practice and standard review support amygdala functions to improve memory, concentration and spatial perception.
The implication of untreated adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) leads to conflicts in self esteem. Zheng (2018), helps us to appreciate the implication that untreated adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) leads to conflicts in self esteem. Physical and cognitive exercise combined may encourage mindfulness, meditation and relaxation.Consider a teenage learner seeking safety by healing trauma outdoors. The aim is to skill-build towards multiple intelligence learning; root healthy relationships with adults and improve self esteem through autonomous achievement.
It may be concluded that later risk taking behavior clusters are born from a lack of autonomy, agency and identity in the first stages of cognitive and physical development (Teicher & Samson, 2016, p. 241-266).
Kyoto Protocol does not regulate food production in order to mitigate greenhouse gasses. Government funded municipal partnership with financial institutions may sponsor community-based food cooperatives. Refugees seeking asylum, Veteran and military families may collaborate with rural area to seed, farm, and distribute local organic produce; sustainable products, and services.
Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) in compliance with the Paris Agreement: Article XII. Article 12 of the Paris Agreement requires parties to work together to improve public access to information, public participation, public awareness, training, and climate change education. The agree ment recognizes the importance of these actions in order to increase the effectiveness of the agreement. Conservation education/naturalist training, public awareness, youth voice, open space learning and international business.
Paris Agreement: Article XII supports local, State, and Federal Governments that elect to supplement Food Stamp cards and reduce pressure on our public food supply by stimulating residents with positive reinforcement.
“Physic” gardens may be established by providing resources to underserved households upon which to cultivate and train. Garden and greenhouse homesteading offers vocational scaffolding via gardening techniques like root planting, fruit picking - assorting, and packing for market; hay raking and pitching; tending to compost & livestock; farm-standing work. “Physic Gardens” are allotment or greenhouse gardens recommended for domestic defense. Native plant nurseries where vegetable, fruit, and medicinal species are protected and propagated within the rural American communities.?

From “Sage-on-the-Stage” to “Guide-on-the-Side”
Key Observation(s): The psycho-motor development of your child, within the first year of life, is commonly divided into four phases. Observation notes may include running records, language plus artwork samples and frequency counts. Data may be recorded in a daily/weekly log. Families should have a communication matrix available to request a copy of their child’s study at the end of each term.
Every pupil should be appropriately stimulated to reach each benchmark at his/her own timetable. A child may be recommended for day school or group socialization:

Transition time: This is the home to day care transition for families. Caregivers and practitioners must partner for a smooth transfer of care. An electronic communication log shall be provided for parents to highlight the infant’s night before, questions, comments and or concerns. Any necessary special adjustments, made by either the primary or relief caregiver, in writing will be clarified verbally.
Schedule age-appropriate activities: Montessori activities promise to include prosocial play, multiple intelligence learning resources AND should interchange between practitioner paired and solo play/self soothing.
Sleep: Blocked out rest periods per day may correspond to an infant’s home napping schedule. Families may change the schedule for sleep of differing frequencies and durations. Caregivers have full autonomy over weekly routines.
Diapering: Diaper checks schedule every two hours; 3-4 diapers or more as needed. Primary caregivers may request for more frequent checks if a child demonstrates a special need.
Feeding: Routine is flexible and can accommodate different feeding frequencies and times.

Introducing young ones to chia seeds: 6 month old learners may start tasting chia seeds along with eating other solids. Chia seeds are categorized as a nutritious “Superfood” for testing high in fiber, protein, omega-3s, iron, and zinc. This inexpensive and easy to store plant protein is gentle on the digestive track allowing the body to focus its energy on cell repair rather than breaking down food. Chia seeds are popular ingredients used to make chia pudding and enriching oatmeal porridge. Here is a recipe which is a good option for babies starting solids and offers a edible craft for all ages!
Avoid offering small children dry chia seeds to explore swallowing them. Instead, soak chia seeds in water! The gel-like consistency is fun to play with! You may use any liquid of your choice before serving to eat. School age youth may be encouraged to experiment with grinding them or decorating them on top of a meal. Table time offers young children sensory experiences. You have heard of messy times with “Oodles” of noodles! Try offering swaddlers chia pudding plus modified utensils for autonomous achievement! Help the young child safeguard self esteem as they learn to meal prep and feed themselves!
One teaspoon (for babies 6–12 months old) is a recommended daily supplement for intaking plant based protein.?
