Cumberland Academy of Georgia Expands Its Experiential Emotional Intelligence Curriculum

Leave a comment


Student at Cumberland Academy of Georgia who participates in the "IMAGINE If..." program

“The more we infuse Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the curriculum and student life, the better our students are equipped to handle stress and surprise,” said Dr. Spargo, director of counseling at Cumberland Academy.


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

Cumberland Academy of Georgia believes that social growth is equally as important as academic growth. In addition to a teaching staff that specializes in educating students with learning differences, Cumberland houses a therapeutic counseling staff that plays an equal role in student success at school, at home and in the world. One of the tools Cumberland counselors utilize is an experiential emotional intelligence curriculum entitled “IMAGINE If..”. “IMAGINE If…” emphasizes core principles like “gratitude” and “courage” in an effort to build a student’s level of self-awareness, motivation, and self-esteem.

On a weekly basis, students explore various topics through open discussions in the classroom and journaling digitally through Google Classroom. The counseling staff introduces the material to students during homeroom, and teachers incorporate the information into their lessons, providing students with additional opportunities to explore concepts in their daily interactions. The digital journal also provides students with opportunities to express their feelings and reflect. Journal prompts are provided, and students respond based on their thoughts and experiences. This online forum is monitored by counselors and provides them with valuable insight and feedback on each student.

“The more we infuse Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the curriculum and student life, the better our students are equipped to handle stress and surprise,” said Dr. Spargo, director of counseling at Cumberland Academy. “The program helps us know how to listen and reach our students, so they can develop life-long skills to navigate successfully in all areas of life.”

Aligning with Cumberland’s mission, the “IMAGINE If…” program helps provide support and guides students in learning the importance of goal setting, daily positive practice, and self-awareness to become self-sufficient young adults. Jennifer Kramer, speaker and author of “IMAGINE If…”, regularly visits the campus and is accessible to faculty, staff, and families as a consultant.

About Cumberland Academy of Georgia

Cumberland Academy of Georgia specializes in the needs of students in grades 4 through 12 who have high-functioning autism, Asperger’s syndrome, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities. Cumberland was founded in 2007 by Debbi and Matthew Scarborough, and is a fully-accredited, independent, non-profit school that seeks to provide a safe and supportive academic atmosphere for its students. Cumberland accepts applications year-round. To schedule a family tour, please contact Jane Paoletta, Director of Admissions, at 404-835-9000, or email admissions@cumberlandacademy.org.

25 North American senior living communities win the Beacon Award for ‘Best in Wellness’

Leave a comment


ICAA NuStep Beacon "Best in Wellness" Award

ICAA NuStep Beacon “Best in Wellness” Award

The Beacon is awarded to communities that successfully foster a wellness culture and an environment that supports wellness for all who live and work there.


ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB)

As the population of older adults continues to grow and more individuals seek a better, longer life, where people choose to live becomes increasingly important. Wellness has emerged as a culture shift in many senior living communities in the last decade. These communities prioritize wellness—and its pursuit—as an essential way of life. Yet how they structure their support for wellness can significantly affect health and longevity. Wellness is not simply something to practice; it is a culture that permeates all aspects of life—and now a new awards program will highlight communities whose efforts make them shining examples. Twenty-five communities have been recognized with the 2019 ICAA NuStep Beacon Award for their “Best in Wellness” achievements.

The Beacon Award was created as a joint venture between two organizations: the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) and NuStep, LLC, both of whom have long supported, and advocated for, older adult wellness. ICAA is responsible for leading, connecting and defining the active-aging industry. CEO and founder Colin Milner says, “Senior living communities have been aware for a long time how important wellness is for the health of their residents, which is reflected in a survey ICAA recently conducted. The survey shows that 59% of senior living communities state that their business model will be wellness-centered with care services by 2023.”*

The Beacon is awarded to communities that successfully foster a wellness culture and an environment that supports wellness for all who live and work there. Wellness is typically defined by seven key dimensions: emotional, physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, vocational and environmental. These dimensions improve a resident’s quality of life when they are nurtured and prioritized as a whole.

The Beacon recipients have demonstrated remarkable strength in creating resident-staff partnerships to create meaningful opportunities that empower participants to improve their quality of life. The award-winners achieved this by weaving wellness into the fabric of their communities. By doing so, they could then provide exceptional innovation, inspiration and motivation for engaging residents and staff in a wellness culture and journey.

“It is a pleasure to honor the top 25 wellness communities,” says Jane Benskey, marketing communications specialist at NuStep, LLC (a manufacturer of recumbent cross trainer exercise equipment used in healthcare, senior living and fitness settings). “Their recognition of the value and importance of creating cultures where wellness is not a program in a room, but rather a way of life, is having a lasting and positive impact on many lives.”

Milner agrees. He adds, “Although there are only 25 winners of the 2019 Beacon Award, every community that enters the awards contest, and every older adult or staff member whose life improves due to that community’s wellness culture, is already a winner.”

The award recipients are beacons for the industry, going above and beyond to bring wellness to many nuances of daily living at their communities. ICAA and NuStep, LLC are proud to announce this year’s top 25:

Marshall B. Ketchum University Appoints New Dean For The Southern California College of Optometry

Leave a comment


We are delighted to have someone of Dr. Coyle’s reputation and experience joining MBKU as the Dean of the Southern California College of Optometry.


FULLERTON, Calif. (PRWEB)

The appointment of Dr. Coyle comes as a result of an extensive search process which brought a number of highly-qualified candidates from across the country under consideration. Dr. Coyle will assume her new position Dec. 1, 2019.

“We are delighted to have someone of Dr. Coyle’s reputation and experience joining MBKU as the Dean of the Southern California College of Optometry. Her energy, personality and vision will combine to continue SCCO’s position of leadership in the profession of optometry and the world of collaborative health care,” says MBKU President, Kevin L. Alexander, OD, PhD.

In her career, Dr. Coyle has already established a long legacy of devotion to optometric education and to the profession of optometry, and she brings to SCCO the breadth of her significant experience as an educator and a clinician. A graduate of Pacific University, Dr. Coyle completed a residency in contact lenses at that same institution and a Master’s of Science in Clinical Optometry. She team-taught the contact lens didactic, laboratory and clinical curriculum for 14 years at Pacific University, and has served as Dean of the Pacific University College of Optometry for the last 11 years. During that time, Dr. Coyle was also in a private group practice in Beaverton, Oregon specializing in contact lenses.

Dr. Coyle’s career reflects a deep commitment to the advancement of the profession of optometry in a number of diverse ways. She is a contributing editor for Primary Care Optometry News, a Fellow in the American Academy of Optometry and a Diplomate in the Section on Cornea and Contact Lenses. Dr. Coyle is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry, and a Distinguished Practitioner and Fellow in the National Academies of Practice. Dr. Coyle was the first woman President of the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry for two terms (2013-2015) and for five years was the Chair of the Oregon Optometric Physicians Association Advocacy Committee. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Optometry, chairs the ASCO Government Affairs Committee, and is on the board of Women in Optometry. She is also a Past-Chair of the Association of Contact Lens Educators.

Dr. Coyle has been recognized frequently as an exceptional educator and optometrist. She was named one of Vision Monday’s 50 Most Influential Women in Optical in 2006, and received the 2010 Clarence G. Carkner Oregon Optometrist of the Year award. In 2018 she received a Theia Award of Excellence in Education from Women in Optometry.

As Dean of Optometry at the Southern California College of Optometry, Dr. Coyle will provide strategic leadership for SCCO as Marshall B. Ketchum University continues to develop and grow its academic programs. She will carry on SCCO’s commitment to clinical education, research opportunities for faculty and students, and the excellent interprofessional education that comes from being situated within a leading health care university.

“Over my 26-year career in optometric education,” says Dr. Coyle, “I have always been incredibly impressed with the faculty, students, alumni, and trustees who have called SCCO and MBKU their home. I am excited to be a part of this trailblazing institution that is leading the way for contemporary health care through interprofessional education and collaborative practice!”

PX Launches First Objective Quality Score for Lead Buyers to Assess and Optimize Sources

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

PX

It makes it that much clearer for buyers to see where they have opportunity. And it gives publishers insights into how their leads are performing in the market.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

PX, the leading marketing technology platform to automate and manage customer acquisition, today announced the launch of Source Quality Scoring, an advanced engine that provides the first objective quality score on sources for lead buyers to assess and optimize where to find new customers. The feature is now available to all marketers buying leads through PX.

Source Quality Scoring is an expansion of PX’s lead scoring algorithms that were granted a patent in 2017, as a system to enhance a marketplace by creating independent quality scores. By adding additional dimensions that are specific and customized to each buyer and seller, PX can now deliver an objective quality measurement that continuously adapts itself to conditions and provides each buyer with quality scores on the sources they’re using — and the sources that are available to them.

“This is among our biggest steps forward as we continue to change the industry and the way marketers find new customers,” said Bas Offers, Co-founder and COO of PX. “It makes it that much clearer for buyers to see where they have opportunity. And it gives publishers insights into how their leads are performing in the market, helping them to get the most value possible for them.”

Each individual source is rated on a 6-point scale, from Excellent to Poor. The score itself is made more objective and trustworthy, because it reflects a view of the entire customer acquisition process, which is dynamic, and adjusts in real-time the myriad factors that can affect a score.

As with the rest of PX, it enhances available marketplace data with a buyer’s sales disposition data across the ecosystem of supply and demand, using that to determine if, in fact, a source is delivering leads that ultimately become customers. The machine learning technology then dices and slices that entire process, weighting different factors at different times, to ultimately generate quality scores for more than 500 publisher sources and 25,000 sub-sources within PX.

Among the dynamic measurement factors that contribute to the Source Quality Score:

Vertical Industries: Sources are measured based on their ability to deliver in a specific vertical.

Campaign Goals: What are the buyer’s specific goals? Does a source help the buyer to reach them?

Maturity of Vertical-specific Goals: Mortgage leads, for example, may take 45-60 days to close; this factor must be treated differently than a vertical industry with shorter sales cycles.

Gradual Importance: The PX algorithms weight data for different stages of the sales funnel with different levels of importance.

Campaign/Buyer Mix: Each measure is based on multiple buyers for each source, so as to remain objective on quality assessment.

“We’re proud to add this feature to the platform after developing this for the last 12 months, as a means to bring buyers and sellers closer,” said Alexander van der Laan, Chief Architect of PX. “Source Quality Scoring validates our efforts to advance the customer acquisition industry through transparency, analytics and the ability to use many different data sets to achieve success for all parties in the market.”

The new feature is now seen in PX buying and optimization platform where 500+ publisher sources are available to buyers and where 30 million buyer-seller transactions happen each month.

About PX

PX is the world’s first transparent customer acquisition platform, providing a single marketplace for companies to acquire customers from hundreds of vetted and sought-after sources. The company removes the risk from customer acquisition by providing marketers with easy-to-use solutions and tools to grow and efficiently scale their customer base. PX is active in the Financial Services, Insurance and Home Services industries. Originally established in 2010, PX launched its open marketplace in 2018. Its global headquarters are in New York City, with offices Panama City, Amsterdam, and Odessa, Ukraine. For more information, visit http://www.px.com
