For example, **Juggling Work and Family -- Interactive! Whether you're a Mom, Dad or caretaker, chances are you're struggling to balance the demands (and joys) of work and family. On Sunday, September 16th, PBS airs a program for all of us -- and pairs it with an interactive site where you can find out just how many other Americans share your predicament and what they are doing about it. http://www.connectforkids.org Now, Look at the Role Maps. The Worker Map defines further the Broad Area of Responsibility, Plan and Direct Personal and Professional Growth, with the Key Activity which states this goal: Balance and support work, career, and personal goals. The Parent/Family Member Map defines further the Broad Area of Responsibility, Meet Family Needs and Responsibilities, with the Key Activity which states this goal: Balance priorities to meet multiple needs and responsibilities. Is there a theme here? Which standards might you choose as a focus for this important theme? I might begin with Reflect and Evaluate, but others might begin elsewhere. Just an idea to illustrate how current the EFF Framework really is. Meta Potts Glendale, AZ _________________________________
