Coupled with the idea of multiple intelligences – different ways of learning, I was able to put into practice an old strategy into play – offer within the same classroom different ways to learn the same lesson. The Media Center offers the opportunity to use different learning stations with three different smart boards, and a fourth station to generate and deliver lessons using technology as well as some students want – a low technology approach. Innovative ideas such as flipping – changing homework into class time activities and classroom activities into homework provide a great opportunity to enhance student success. Optional grading opportunities present themselves such as using the textbook and the test as learning tools and strategy as a by-product of this learning approach. A demonstration of this model and the student success results will be presented.

Project Phase I involved resource assessment and the development of a set of screening forms and guidelines containing a core data set for both hypertension and diabetes. These were then tested during Phase II at predetermined communitybased screening events throughout the United States. Community- and faith-based health screening programs are important in reaching and informing individuals in selected communities about their health and health risks. This study demonstrated the development of a standard tool that was effective in conducting African American community-based screening programs for hypertension and diabetes by community-based organizations. These activities are effective to obtain standardized information on individuals within ...
