Alleviating Anxiety about Spatial Ability in Elementary School Teachers

Work resulting from the below research, see:
We present data from a teacher professional development intervention, a work circle between SILC researchers and Kindergarten through 2nd grade teachers focused on spatial intelligence and learning. The main goals of the work circle were: a) to familiarize elementary school teachers with the domain of spatial reasoning, b) to inform teachers about lab studies in the field of spatial reasoning, focusing on using spatial tools to teach mathematical concepts, and c) to bring together researchers and teachers to develop "Spatial Toolkit" activities that were based on lab studies for use in the classroom. Teachers implemented and augmented Toolkit activities throughout the school year and reported back to the work circle to discuss ideas for further refinement, ideas for other content that could be taught spatially, and questions that future lab research could address.
One example of a Spatial Toolkit activity concerns linear measurement. During the work circle, researchers presented the results of a training study that found that teaching students to measure objects misaligned with the zero-point on a ruler by laying discrete one-inch transparent plastic units on top of the ruler improved students' performance on this typically challenging task (Levine, Kwon, Huttenlocher, Ratliff & Dietz, 2009). This study was then turned into a Toolkit activity, a worksheet where students would be instructed to use unit-chips to help them measure items misaligned with the zero-point on a ruler. During the work circle teachers were asked to take the idea of using discrete units on a ruler and transfer it to the number line, a tool that is used on a daily basis in elementary school classrooms. Teachers then presented their ideas to the large group. Some examples of teacher-generated activities included using units of different sizes on the number line to teach addition/subtraction and multiplication/division.
Figure 1: Example of a Spatial Toolkit activity.
We collected quantitative and qualitative data from students and teachers at the beginning and end of the school year, and are currently investigating whether participation in the work circle affected teacher and student behavior and attitudes. Here, we present findings from the work circle regarding teacher attitudes about spatial reasoning. The relationship between an individual's anxiety about math and his or her impaired performance in and avoidance of math in educational and career choices is well-established (e.g., Ashcraft & Krause, 2007; Hembree, 1990; Chipman, Krantz & Silver, 1992). Teacher anxiety may have even more widespread effects, though. A recent study showed that 1st and 2nd grade female teachers' math anxiety impacted their female students' (but not their male students') learning of math over the school year (Beilock, Gunderson, Ramirez & Levine, 2010)1. A mediation analysis showed that the effect of teacher math anxiety on female students' end-of-year math performance was mediated by girls' endorsement of the negative stereotype. These analyses all controlled for teacher math ability—during the school year, teacher anxiety about math influenced girl students' attitudes about math and gender, which affected girl students' math learning.
Compared to research in the domain of math, little is known about the relationship between anxiety, performance, and educational and career choices with respect to spatial reasoning. There is, however, preliminary evidence to suggest that teacher spatial anxiety negatively impacts student spatial performance (Gunderson, Ramirez, Beilock & Levine, in progress). Previous research in the domain of math anxiety has shown that when math instruction for preservice elementary school teachers focuses on how concepts should be taught to students (as opposed to instruction that focuses on teaching teachers content), teacher math anxiety decreases (Tooke & Lindstrom, 1998). Since the work circle focused on how to use spatial tools to teach students, we hypothesized that participating in the work circle might lead to a decrease in teacher anxiety about spatial reasoning.
Ten teachers (all happened to be female) from 7 Chicago area schools who taught either kindergarten, 1st or 2nd grade participated in the work circle. The heart of the work circle intervention consisted of a full week of intensive meetings between teachers and researchers that took place in August, toward the end of the summer vacation. At the beginning of the week-long intervention, teachers completed a battery of assessments, including self-report questionnaires to assess levels of domain-specific anxiety. Throughout the school year, teachers implemented and refined ideas from the week-long intervention, and participated in a variety of follow-up meetings, observations, and interviews. Teachers also completed the anxiety measures at the end of the school year.
Figure 2: Teacher anxiety about space decreased from the beginning of the school year (t(9)=2.55, p<0.05), while teacher anxiety on a control measure (reading) did not (t(9)=1.75, ns).
Participating in the work circle was related to a decrease in spatial anxiety, but not in anxiety on a control measure (reading). Our future work will focus on identifying the precise aspects of the intervention that were critical in achieving these results, and also examine the impact of this kind of intervention on student attitudes and behavior. We are also currently working in collaboration with Everyday Mathematics, a widely used math curriculum, to incorporate Spatial Toolkit activities into the PreK — 2nd grade curricula.

Is your mouth watering yet? Cobbler always makes me look forward to summer. Warm, delicious berries combined with sweet vanilla ice cream...yuh-um! This recipe is quick, easy, and tastes like you made it from scratch! Would you believe me if I told you it only requires three ingredients?? Get excited, because it's true! This is literally the BEST cobbler I've ever made and it was so easy to make!
Easy Berry Cobbler
- 2 bags of frozen mixed berries (about 24oz total)
- 1 box yellow cake mix - butter recipe
- 1 1/2 cans Sprite
Grease a 13x9 cake pan. Line pan with frozen berries, enough to cover the bottom. Pour the cake mix powder over the berries so that they are covered. Slowly pour your can and a half of Sprite over the cake mix. Do not stir the Sprite with cake mix. You want it to bubble up on the surface. Try to cover as much of the surface as you can with the Sprite so you have a large bubble of liquid on top. This will create your "crust." Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Allow your cobbler to cool until slightly warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and pour a large glass of milk. Enjoy!

As I type, I am preparing for Christmas. I have Christmas services at my home church, New Baltimore Church of God, but I also have a Christmas service at Eyler's Valley Chapel on Tuesday Dec. 17, at 7 p.m. and one at Emmanuel Chapel in Mont Alto on Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. Keeping busy.
Since I am thinking on the one in Mont Alto today, I thought we'd drop by and visit the little hamlet in 1912.
Mont Alto notes
November 15, 1912
D.M. Brown was a business visitor to Chambersburg Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Barkdoll spent Sunday with friends in Mercersburg.
Mrs. Jennie Verdier and daughter, Beulah, were visitors to Chambersburg Monday.
Rev. W.J. Marks, wife and son, Master Spence, spent Tuesday with friends at Orrtanna, Adams County.
Jere Plank and son Guy, Gettysburg, were busy repairing the water line here last week.
Mrs. Edith Hartman of Hagerstown spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Kauffman.
Don't forget any one wishing fresh oysters can get them any time now at the restaurant of J.F. Ryder and George Peters.
Corn husking is the paramount issue here, now, and any one out of employment can find work with any of our busy tillers of the soil in putting away the crop. Listen, those of you who are not hunting bunnies or squirrels, why not husk corn?
Robert McCleary and sister, Miss Rebecca, of Waynesboro, spent Sunday here, the guests of Miss Ruth Smith.
November 22, 1912
What would block the way in opening a good quarry here? Is not this a good location for that kind of work? It would not only pay the proprietor, but would give our men some work close home.
Mont Alto was never more known to be more traversed by hunters than this year. One of the drawing cards is the large amount of deer near here.
John Jones, South Main street, was seriously ill Saturday with an attack of cramp. He is able to be up and out again.
Our farmers are pushing the corn husking to a finish and soon the white mantel will make its appearance.
Justice Small improved his property, having built a new fence.
Sunday visitors: Miss Virgie Saphr, Chambersburg, the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Walter Miley; Mrs. Mary Wingerd, Fayetteville, with her sister, Mrs. Annie Miley; Mrs. Harry Kaiser, Fayetteville, with her aunt, Mrs. Annie Miley.
The Staley Gun Club, of New Baltimore, got a spike buck Saturday. It is said that Jacob Staley shot it.
Mrs. Emma Wade took seriously ill Sunday with an attack of acute indigestion, and for some time it was thought she couldn't live. She was resting a little better this morning.
November 29, 1912
Mrs. David Kauffman spent Monday in Chambersburg.
Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Lady spent Saturday with friends in Adams County.
Miss Algie Bumbaugh of Carlisle, is spending several days with relatives here.
Miss Lydia Witmer and Masters Joe and Samuel Barkdoll, spent Sunday with friends in Leitersburg.
Mrs. Noah Funk and two children of Chambersburg, spent Sunday with Mrs. Funk's mother, Mrs. Susan Rook.
Shank Bros. began the carpenter work on their new warehouse, Monday. The building will be a large extension to the store room.
M.D. Jacobs slaughtered his large porkers on Monday, and Len Kauffman put the finishing touches on his today. Quite a lot of people will butcher this week.
"Once Upon Our Times" by the Rev. Lee E. Daywalt is a compilation of local newspaper articles from 100 years ago. It appears weekly in The Record Herald. Daywalt is pastor of New Baltimore Church of God and administrator of Preserving Our Heritage Archives and Museum, 11191 South Mountain, 11191 South Mountain Road, South Mountain. The museum is open from 8 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and at other times by appointment. For information, call 762-2367 or visit:

This is a follow up to my last post, Snapping the Gi. There is another bad habit, Stomping the Feet.
As I wrote in my earlier post about that subject, unless you are intending to stomp on the attacker's foot or leg, it usually does not make sense to make a stomping sound during kata. Some people seem to do it simply for the sound effect.
In fact, it is preferable for the feet to be quiet during kata. Any power that could be gained by stomping should be placed in the strike, block or kick, instead.
Think of a baseball player swinging a bat to hit the ball. Would he stomp before he hit it? Would a golfer stomp before hitting the ball? No, they would not -- because the idea is to put the power in the ball rather than the ground.
Many of the advanced Shorin-Ryu kata involve night or dark techniques. You usually see this in searching or feeling movements with the hands or feet. In the dark, you can't see the attacker and he can't see you. You would not want to give your position away by making unnecessary noise, such as stomping.
I remember in Iaido, we practiced a "dark" kata in which we crouched down and tapped the ground with our outstretched sword (the the right diagonal). This was to attract the attacker to the noise, and cut him down there.
But in Shorin-Ryu, I can't think of any movements in which we are tapping (or stomping) the ground to confuse or mislead the attacker.
Again, if the intention is to actually stomp, then it makes sense to do so. But if the intent is to strike or block, a stomp simply wastes power.
Snapping the gi and stomping (when not appropriate to do so), tends to attract attention. This is not the purpose of kata. It is better for the techniques to speak for themselves, without sound effects.

Concerned that you'll waste too much time on social media? Well, you should be! If you aren't clear on why you're using social media, you can invest hours without accomplishing anything (except maybe having lots of fun and connecting with your long lost high school buddies).
A good social media strategy must be well thought out, targeted and aligned with your company goals. Thus, the first step is to make sure you start by revisiting your company goals. Only then can you start thinking about social media and how it can compliment your objectives.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Black Friday shoppers in many cities briefly detoured into lottery retailers, drawn off task by the prospects of winning a $325 million Powerball jackpot, the fourth-largest in the game's history.
Lottery officials say they're unsure what effect Thanksgiving and beginning of Christmas shopping season will have on sales, which normally pick up in the days before high-dollar drawings.
Since Powerball tickets doubled in price to $2 in January, the number of tickets sold has decreased, but the sales revenue has made up for it, increasing by about 35 percent, said Norm Lingle, chairman of the Powerball board of directors.
And as the price went up, so did the jackpots, enticing thousands across the country to play.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said of the price increase: "... we believed the jackpots would grow fast and grow large because of the change in the game, and it does appear that it is working."
Lingle, who is also the executive director of the South Dakota Lottery, says this weekend will be "telling."
"To my knowledge we've never had a large jackpot run like this fall over a major holiday," he said.

Second family accuses Disneyland character of racism
A second African-American family is accusing a character at Disneyland of ignoring their child because of the color of their skin.
10 News reports the White family of San Diego says they complained to the park after a person dressed as Donald Duck refused to take a photo with their son, instead interacting with white children.
Nastasia White says the character made a deliberate move away from her 5-year-old son Razzi, as he ran towards Donald yelling his name, to play with a baby in a stroller.
White says the baby's parents encouraged Donald to take a photo with Razzi, but the character instead went and hugged a white child. She says there is no way she misread the situation.
"I didn't (misread) because it was done in a blatant and ugly way," White told 10 News.
The Whites hired the same attorney as a family who is suing Disneyland over alleged racism to represent them in a possible lawsuit.
"I've gotten many emails and voicemails that I'm looking into," attorney Dan Gilleon told 10 News. "What this tells me is this isn't an isolated incident. It doesn't mean Disneyland is racist, but they have some people in the company who aren't playing by the rules and are being discriminatory."

Has anyone seen the Series 5 minifigures show up at retail yet in the US? I've been going on an Alien Conquest binge lately, what with my disgust with Hasbro's distribution and all. The Alien Striker (5 bucks for an Alien Defense Unit Human, Alien, and tiny alien skimmer) set is particularly addictive, and I've been buying multiples of them when I go into TRU, and ordering extra minifigure heads from Lego's website to do headswaps. Very cool stuff, and the UFO noise that the Alien Mothership makes never fails to bring a grin to my face.
CAved and got two of these guys today, ended up with the dwarf viking and the gladiator. Gonna get a few more in hopes of getting the graduate, mobster and Godzilla.

Clay Brownell Killed In Single Vehicle Crash In Casper
A former Natrona County High School student is dead after being involved in a single vehicle crash in Casper on Tuesday morning May 15th.
The Natrona County School District says Clay Brownell died in the crash.
According to Casper police, shortly after midnight, officers responded to the crash near 15th and David.
Investigators say the vehicle was west-bound on 15th and failed to negotiate the curve in the road, then crashed into a boulder and a tree.
The driver, who was the only person in the car, was tossed from the vehicle and was pronounced dead on the scene.
Police are still investigating, and are awaiting autopsy results for any signs of alcohol and drug use.

Hey everyone,
I finally got my bentos in the mail... *jumping up and down* and I need ideas for flavoring the rice. Unfortunely I can't think of anything beyond putting boullion cubes in the water when I steam the rice. My family also hates most veggies so I am stuck...
Green tea is nice as a rice flavouring, I have yet to try black tea. Maki's carrot rice is really good, kind of sweet but not carroty, but a word to the wise, just buy the juice (or at least use a food processor). I should imagine pretty much anything liquid would work, it's just a matter of experimenting to see what tastes good.
Of course you could just make onigiri with salt and a filling, or sushi flavoured with sushi vinigar.
What kind of rice do you use most, faechildmom?
Personally, I find I treat Indian style rice (such as basmati or patna) very differently from Italian or Spanish rice and these differently to how I treat any of the Japanese varieties I use.
From what I understand, American long grain rice is similar to the Indian patna variety. If this is what you're using then how about flavouring with grated lemon rind, mustard seeds and turmeric? (Add some oil to a pan, put in a little bit of chilli/optional, a spoon of mustard seeds, the seeds will soon start to pop so be sure to have the rest of the ingredients ready, once the seeds start bursting add the rind of a lemon, half a teaspoon of ground turmeric and then the rice and water/stock as well as the juice of the lemon. Cook the rice as you would normally.) This is really nice with little pieces of cashew nuts. I also like to add dried curry leaves (which I pop in at the same time as the lemon rind)
Coconut is great with patna and basmati rice too, but there must be hundreds of recipes for preparing this, from all over Asia right to the Caribbean. I still haven't worked out which is my favourite! The simplest way is just to add coconut milk to rice but it can get a lot more complex than that.
For Japanese rice, once it's cooked and has cooled a little, one of my favourite ways is to fry a little oil with garlic until the garlic has browned, add the rice, combine, then add a couple of tablespoons of dashi concentrate and stir through. Then I take the rice off the heat and mix in a combination of chopped fresh basil and mint leaves. I got the idea for substituting basil and mint for shiso leaves from a book by Harumi Kurihara that an Australian friend lent to me. You can see the original recipe here: http://www.recipezaar.com/Harumi-Kuriharas-Garlic-Fried-Rice-186870 (I don't eat chicken, so the dashi concentrate was a logical substitute for me, and one I really enjoy)
As a cheat, I also like to mix cooled, cooked Japanese rice with Mandarin Jah Jan sauce (Mong Lee Shang brand http://shop.waiyeehong.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=...) and a few chopped vegetables (the vegetables are optional, but if you fry some diced shallot and zuchini/courgette and brown a little before adding the sauce and rice they should hardly be noticeable to vegetable haters!). Actually, I'm drooling now just thinking about it... must get some more! I'd never heard of Jah Jan sauce - also called Zha jiang sauce - until my husband introduced it to me, apparently it's quite well known in Japan (炸醬?), but as an accompaniment to noodles.*
But please do mention which rice you use, it does make a difference.
I've learnt quite a lot working on this response! I plugged in 炸醬 into the Japanese Google image search engine:
And found lots of delicious looking Jah Jan noodle pictures. I'm going to combine Jah Jan Sauce with minced Quorn (a meat substitute popular in the UK) and have it with drained noodles and shredded cucumber.
Hopefully, it will turn out something like this - http://blog-imgs-31.fc2.com/l/i/m/limesoda/DSCF1026.jpg
Thank you for the inspiration!

This tune is all about tension, and building up to a climax. "Build Up the Tension" starts with a grand piano, later on a wurlitzer, bassguitar and electric guitar joins in. After this the song instrumentally expands with light bells, a hammond organ and acoustic drums! This song also contains small percussion and a large strings section. This in particular adds a lot of the tension to the song.
Great for motivational videos, YouTube videos, commercials, websites and other projects that need a shot of tension and building up to a climax. So whether your needs are marketing and advertising or just a great backing track for your video or other personal project, "Build Up the Tension" delivers!
Both mixes have MP3 and WAV versions for your convenience.
Thanks for purchasing!

Innocent Flirtation...
I'm Adrienne and I'm a
little innocent, a little flirty and a
lot of fun. I don't have a lot of experience,
but I have a little and I'll tell
you all about it if you call me.
I'm kind of innocent, but I can be corrupted.
I hope you don't mind that
I'm kind of new to
all of this - including sex, I mean - and that I don't
know everything about well, about everything.
You might have to tell me what you want,
but I love it when I can make someone happy.
Maybe I can tell you a
little about what I think is hot
and sexy, too. Some of it might surprise you -
I'm not TOTALLY innocent, after all.
