CleanPart 2: Understanding who we are and where we are Hawaiian Style | You'll be surprised when you hear the role Archangel Michael had in helping Chief Hale Makua describe the Hawaiian concepts of our roles in life. What is your role and are you expressing it in what the Hawaiians refer to as positive polarity or negative polarity? Hawaiians Shamans believe that things go in a cycle with the end being marked with everything unraveling. Sound familiar? This period of unraveling presents an opportunity for us to create a new way of living, advance spiritually, and in turn be the change we want to see in the world to a positive polarity. Hear the series Next Segment in Series: Listen to Part 3: The Ultimate Game of Life. Will we win the Game? The ultimate goal for our society is to expand our horizons and master our knowledge of spirituality, self-assurance, and knowledge. We will do this through connecting with others family, and creating local communities. The result will be self-mastery, spiritual evolution, and respect for protection and well-being for the planet. How will we get there? Can we find our inner power and voice to create our own realities versus giving away our power to others (politicians, business people, etc)? About our Guest: Research anthropologist Hank Wesselman is one of those rare cutting edge scientists who truly walks between the worlds. He did his undergraduate work, as well as his Masters Degree, in Zoology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, then went on to receive his doctoral degree in Anthropology from the University of California at Berkeley. A native New Yorker, he has spent much of his life living and working among traditional tribal peoples, primarily in Africa and Polynesia. He served in the US Peace Corps in the 1960's, living among people of the Yoruba Tribe in Western Nigeria for two years. It was there that he first became interested in indigenous spiritual wisdom. Since 1971, he has conducted research with an international group of scientists, exploring eastern Africa's Great Rift Valley in search of answers to the mystery of human origins. During this time, he has worked alongside such worthies as Dr. Don Johanson, Lucy's discoverer; Professor Tim White, whose expeditions have been featured in several TIME magazine cover stories, as well as members of the famous Leakey family. He is one of the primary investigators involved in the discovery of the "Ardi" sites (Ardiptithecus ramidus) in Ethiopia--recently revealed to be the famous missing link between humans and apes that Charles Darwin predicted would be found in Africa. Hank's research is involved with the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the sites (4-6 million years old) at the time they were laid down. Hank is also a shamanic student, practitioner and teacher, now in the 28th year of his apprenticeship. In addition to his scientific papers and monographs, his books include his autobiographical trilogy: SPIRITWALKER: MESSAGES FROM THE FUTURE (Bantam, 1995), MEDICINEMAKER: MYSTIC ENCOUNTERS ON THE SHAMAN'S PATH (Bantam, 1998), and VISIONSEEKER: SHARED WISDOM FROM THE PLACE OF REFUGE (Hay House, 2001). These unusual books are focused upon a series of altered state experiences that began spontaneously out in the bush of Africa and document his investigations into a hidden reality that most of us have heard about, but few have experienced directly. In his explorations of these inner worlds, Hank may have also provided us with a glimpse into the possible evolutionary future of humanity. Combining the sober objectivity of a trained scientist with a mystic's passionate search for deeper understanding, his books also contain revelations of the generally secret teachings of the Hawaiian kahunas. His smaller teaching books include THE JOURNEY TO THE SACRED GARDEN: A GUIDE TO TRAVELING IN THE SPIRITUAL REALMS (Hay House 2003) and SPIRIT MEDICINE: HEALING IN THE SACRED REALMS (Hay House, 2004) co-authored with his wife Jill Kuykendall. | 5/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanMay 17: Ancestral Wisdom from a Hawaiian Shaman with Hank Wesselman | As modern interest in indigenous wisdom grows, more and more spiritual seekers are turning to Hawaiian shamanism for its remarkable ability to reveal our inner divinity to us. With The Bowl of Light, paleoanthropologist Hank Wesselman, PhD, provides a rare glimpse into the heart of this tradition as he unveils the teachings passed down to him from the great Kahuna elder, Hale Makua. Before his passing, this revered shaman and wisdom keeper granted Dr. Wesselman permission to share sacred spiritual knowledge seldom imparted to outsiders, including: The "Bowl of Light"—the vessel for our divine essence and how we must care for it to sustain our natural radiance The three directives of the spiritual warrior—love with humility, live with reverence, and know with self-discipline Rare descriptions of rituals used by Hale Makua for communing with nature, receiving wisdom from the spirit world, purifying our consciousness, and more The Ancestral Grand Plan—exploring the path our ancestors set in motion millennia ago and how the Plan is playing out across the world today In the oceanic islands where the flow of primal energies has created unparalleled natural beauty, one of the world's most advanced spiritual cultures remains largely unknown to the West. With The Bowl of Light, Hank Wesselman offers a privileged and intimate view into the mind of an authentic Hawaiian kahuna—for the time has finally come for the world to hear the wisdom that this profound tradition offers. Show Highlights: Part 1: An Unusual and Enduring Friendship between two Elders: Hear the beautiful story of how to two men, contemporaries in age, yet vastly different background join together to share information to us about Kahuna wisdom. This partnership encourages all of us to find our own inner divinity through self-discovery and to loosen the hold of religious zealots who hold us in a place of fear and confrontation. Part 2: Understanding who we are and where we are Hawaiian Style: You'll be surprised when you hear the role Archangel Michael had in helping Chief Hale Makua describe the Hawaiian concepts of our roles in life. What is your role and are you expressing it in what the Hawaiians refer to as positive polarity or negative polarity?

CleanPart 2: Earth Hour Challenge | In 2011, Earth Hour saw hundreds of millions of people across 135 countries switch off for an hour. But it also marked the start of something new – going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action on climate change. In 2012, Earth Hour celebrated its largest event to date with more than 6,950 cities and towns in 152 countries and territories switching off their lights, and with hundreds of thousands of people accepting an IWIYW challenge to take their commitment to the planet beyond the hour. Find out what is in store for 2013 and be part of the change. Show Highlights: Part 1: The latest and Greatest on Climate Change: For some, Climate Change is just plain physics and logical. A warmer atmosphere creates more moisture, which creates extreme weather. Why do some still argue with whether Climate Change is real? In the environmental community and factions within the business community there is a consensus on what policies (tax on pollution via carbon tax, emissions trading) need to be enacted but politics seem to be stymieing any meaningful policy changes. While 70-80% of Americans want some type of action, few are demanding their elected officials to take action. What can you do to move the ball forward? Listen to Part 1 Part 2: Earth Hour Challenge: How can your city get involved with expanding it's renewable energy sources, and educate and prepare the public for Climate Change? How can you get involved? More: Climate Change happening at the local level About our Guest: Keya Chatterjee has a unique spin on the ‘big picture.’ In her case, she’s talking about satellite images of planet Earth. Before joining WWF, she worked for NASA and used the images to communicate research results on climate change. The detailed images of deforestation, sea ice loss and development gave her a unique perspective on the state of the planet. This visual representation of our human impact motivated Keya to shift her focus from plot-level projects to the planet as a whole. Today, Keya is part of WWF’s climate team, working on every level – local to global – to bring awareness about climate change to the masses and facilitate progress at the highest levels of government toward a new global climate treaty. She can talk in amazing detail about the climate change impacts we are already experiencing; the need to drastically reduce emissions worldwide; the links between climate change and poverty; and the barriers we need to overcome to reach a real global climate agreement. When you look at the science on which the WWF climate program is based, it can appear daunting. The impacts are increasingly visible –longer forest fire seasons in the US West, hurricanes that are more and more damaging, sea level rise, coral bleaching, and melting sea ice just to name a few. Yet Keya remains optimistic, “We’re in control of our fate here” she likes to say, and WWF is on the front lines talking about the sustainable choices we can make as individuals, corporations and governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for what’s to come. Whether it’s learning from people in lowland communities how to adapt to rising sea levels or being part of a delegation to multilateral climate discussions, Keya is looking at the big picture – for people and conservation around the world.

It is as a musician where, Fabien Maman began to actually feel the Souls of the people responding to the music. Founding father of vibrational sound healing, Fabien Mama, has researched and developed acoustic sound healing for the 21st century that creates a resonance between the higher self and the body. Discover the most uplifting possibilities of resonance and feel how it initiates your own personal recognition, understanding, knowledge, restoration, re-centering and healing. Show Highlights: Part 1: Learn how Fabien's fateful encounter with an acupuncturist led him to study the correlation of sound, music, mathematics, and healing. Part 2: The two key findings from Fabien's 30 years of research. The first finding is about A440 (A440 is the musical note A above middle C. It has a frequency of 440 Hz and serves as a general tuning standard for musical pitch). The second finding is how each person has a fundamental note that you resonate with. How would you practically use your fundamental note in your marriage, your healing, and overall well being? Part 3: The amount of information available about sound healing is staggering.

Part 4: Learn about the origins of Kototama. What is the relationship of sound and color?

As a musician/composer, he performed his original compositions in the great concert halls of the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Tokyo Opera, the Paris Olympia and the Berlin Philharmonic. He was the recipient in 1980 of the Grande Prix de Composition Francaise (Grand prize of French composition). In 1977, Fabien became an acupuncturist, linking music with acupuncture. He created the now famous system which uses tuning forks instead of needles on acupuncture command points. In the early 80’s, Fabien conducted his revolutionary biology experiments at the University of Jussieu in Paris, showing the impacts of acoustic sound on human cells and their energy fields. Fabien found that through a series of acoustic sounds, he could explode cancer cells, as well as energize and empower healthy ones. (For more information click here for Sound/Cellular Research) This would become the driving theory behind Fabien’s life’s work: 'that blockages in our subtle energy fields can result in physical illness if they are allowed to crystallize, and Sound, Color and Movement® are the most effective tools we can use to dissolve these negative energetic patterns.’ In 1988 Fabien founded Tama-Do (“Way of the Soul”), the Academy of Sound, Color and Movement®, offering a three-year training program for the evolution of consciousness using non-invasive vibrational techniques composed of Sound, Color and Movement® and Seasonal Healing Concerts. Terres Unsoeld Faery/Shaman Terres Unsoeld is Tama-Do’s Senior Instructor, teaching workshops around the world.

CleanMar. 15 – Find alternatives to a big expensive medical procedure- Marie Manuchehri, RN | Even doctors and the most sophisticated tests can't always find the source of a health issue, but there is one authority that always knows. Marie Manucheri will help you find the expert you can rely on next time you have a health scare or even a minor health issue. Show Highlights: Part 1: What Marie Manuchehri discovered about healing as a nurse that doctors often missed? Part 2: Marie will share some preventative care ideas on how you can detect and address a potential health problem before it gets worse and costs you big time. Marie Mancuheri offers her scanning technique for a quick self-exam of your energy and overall well being. Part 3: Body scan information continued. Listener call in with a puzzling health issue. About our Guest Marie is an energy medicine healer who is the perfect bridge between conventional and holistic medicine. She was raised in a family that appreciates preventive medicine, including the importance of eating nutritional organic foods and taking healthy supplements. Yet, it was during her work as an oncology nurse that she discovered and developed her skills as an energy medicine practitioner. The hospital turned out to be the ideal place to understand the energetic relationship between health and disease. A self taught healer, Marie learned to connect conventional medicine’s understanding of disease—as it was described in a patient’s chart—to what she could intuitively understand about how a patient’s condition related to his or her energy system. Over time, she learned to identify stagnant energy—a sign of disease—and move it out of the body, making room for free healthier energy to move in and work its healing magic. Freely flowing energy can release pain, disease, and help people move in a positive direction—toward health, wealth, and fulfilling relationships and careers. Marie also discovered she is a medium, with the ability to connect with those living on the other side. She uses her talents as an energy medicine practitioner and as a medium to help people heal their wounds and expand consciousness. Marie’s private practice, which grew by word of mouth, now includes thousands of clients from across the world. She is an author, public speaker, teacher, and leads a mentoring program for others interested in the field of energy medicine. Her weekly radio show, Where Energy and Medicine Meet, on 1150AM KKNW, is wildly popular. Marie’s first book Intuitive Self-Healing will be released on March 1st 2012 by Sounds True along with a 6-CD series How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides. She lives in Kirkland, Washington.

CleanFeb 2: Soul Academy with James Van Praagh | James Van Praagh is a medium who can communicate to loved ones who have passed to the other side. He will share key concepts from his new book "Growing Up in Heaven" on our purpose and journey here on earth, and where loved ones and we go after we die. If you are still suffering from a loved ones passing or suffering with your own path, then join us go gain more clarity and peace. About our Guest James Van Praagh is a "survival evidence medium", meaning that he is able to bridge the gap between two planes of existence, that of the living and that of the dead, by providing evidential proof of life after death via detailed messages. His very natural, easy-going style would lead you to believe that Van Praagh is chatting with a friend on the telephone, not communicating messages from the grave. "I’m clairsentient," he explains, "which simply means clear feeling. I feel the emotions and personalities of the deceased. I am also clairvoyant," he adds, meaning that many times he will actually see the spirit as a solid form and will describe their physical traits. The detailed information conveyed between worlds is not only awe inspiring, but forces people to question their own belief systems, views of reality and preconceptions of live and death. Van Praagh’s popularity began in the early nineties, on the NBC morning talk show: "The Other Side." The show concentrated on paranormal issues, and Van Praagh became a favorite guest & resident expert on the subject of life after death. Even Howard Rosenberg, the Los Angeles Times distinguished television critic, dubbed Van Praagh "spectacular". Through the years his message of hope has touched an abundance of people due to his numerous guest appearances on such shows as "Oprah," "Larry King Live," "20/20," "48 Hours," and "Biography."His unique paranormal experiences during the past 25 years have seen him author best-selling books, create meditation intuitive programming, a successful state of the art website, conduct seminars to sold-out audiences, and produce successful television projects. Van Praagh’s unique paranormal experiences during the past 25 years have been recorded in his New York Times best-selling books Talking To Heaven, Reaching To Heaven, Healing Grief, Heaven and Earth, Looking Beyond: A Teen’s Guide To The Spiritual World, & Meditations with James Van Praagh. As a pioneer in the field, Van Praagh has introduced the world to mediumship by producing a daytime talk show entitled "Beyond With James Van Praagh." The show aired in the U.S. from September 2002 through September 2003 and is still showing in syndication in Europe, Australia and Latin America. Show Highlights Part 1 (10 min): Words from children that have passed that will help parents gain inner peace and deal with any unattended to grief, guilt, shame, or worry. Part 2 (10 min): James Van Praagh accumulated information about death and what happens when we die will allow you to appreciate your life here on earth and peacefully accept death as just a transition point.. Part 3 (10 min): A quick look at the soul, soul families, soul mates will help you see your friends and foes in a different light.

CleanJan 26: The Masks we wear and our attachments (Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr) | The deepeest love of ourselves and others is effected by our attachments and the masks we wear. Both create distortion in our preceptions and prevent us from seeing ourselves and others clearly. Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr. shares a quick reference guide to help us become more aware of our attachments in the moment and discusses how to turn down the noise on the drama in our lives. Learn more about the Toltec Tradiion of "Masks" that we project on to the world and how they prevent us from exposing us to our true authentic selves. What we'll cover: Part 1: The Toltec way of passing wisdom through the generations. Part 2: Becoming aware of your attachments and living at choice. Part 3: What happens when you do personal work and others don't like the new "you"? Part 4: Taking questions from listeners (800)930-2819. About Our Guest: At the age of 14, don Miguel Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, Madre Sarita. From that early age, he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita's prayers, lectures and workshops from Spanish into English. In this way, through constant repetition and review, he learned the content of her teachings in both languages. Through interpreting for Madre Sarita, don Miguel Jr. came to understand the power of faith. He saw first-hand how she manifested her intent to heal people, both physically and spiritually. don Miguel Jr.'s apprenticeship lasted 10 years. When he reached his mid-20's, his father intensified his training. At the apex of this power journey don Miguel said to his eldest son, "Find your way out. Go home and master Death by becoming alive." For the past six years, don Miguel Jr. has applied the lessons learned from his father and grandmother to define and enjoy his own personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation. Miguel Jr. has taken the lessons of his father and grandmother and discovered his own personal freedom. Being able to apply his teachings to the world around him gave Miguel Jr. a new understanding of the lessons his father and grandmother had passed onto him, once again giving him the desire to pass on his beliefs. After decades of training, Miguel Jr. was finally ready to share everything he had learned. As a Nagual, he now helps others discover optimal physical and spiritual health, so that they may achieve their own personal freedom. he shares his beliefs using both the tools of his family's traditions and the knowledge gained through his own personal journey.

CleanPart 2: Basic Trust and the importance of grounding with Burhan Gephardt | Do you have a chronic problem with your body (funny hip, knee, back, etc)? The fix can be simple and pragmatic. Leave it to Burhan Gebhardt who works with an alignment process using body measurements, and a dowser. Learn the importance of being grounded and how it can accelerate your spiritual path and help you navigate the world generally. Next Up Burhan Gephardt describes the inner alignment process in our series on inner alignment. Part 3 of 4: How Inner Alignment can change your life? About our Guest: Burhan Gephardt- From today, I can look back onto an expansive career in the field of therapy, starting with my masters degree in psychology, followed by education and practice in Kinesiology, Yoga teaching and Systemic Family Constellations. I have also worked in personnel development and personnel selection in different sectors of the industry. At present, I mainly work in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the Inner Alignment. Following the long-lasting execution of methods and techniques to enhance health and the development of the human being, I am now grateful to be able to do the work of the Inner Alignment, where the unique essence of each person is addressed in one sacred moment. The way I understand my work is to create a space in which the impulse and energy of the Inner Alignment can affect a person as a whole and can therefore facilitate healing and transformation. Show Highlights: Part 1: The Inner Alignment Process and how it works Part 2: Basic Trust and the importance of grounding Part 3: How Inner Alignment can change your life? Part 4: Live testimonials on the work Testimonials: I really have to say it was the most profound, immediate, and beneficial healing experience that I have had to date, or that I remember, and I don‘t say that lightly because I have tried out many healing modalities, and am learning some myself. I felt that I could relax in my body totally, and this was profound to know again what that felt like. It was a much needed imprint to what I could see as close to my original state. In my experience it was a treatment of a spirit level that affected the emotional and physical levels of the body. Timeless. Ann S. , 30, Seattle (USA) The alignment has in fact aligned me! It starts with my back and continues through to having more courage in my life and a stronger standing for myself and my beliefs in life. Things have changed considerably to the better in a truly short time! Maria L., 42, Hamburg (Ger) At first the back pain was a lot stronger than before the I.A., but after a while it disappeared at once. Ever since I am free of pain, which for me feels like paradise, because this pain accompanied me since I was 19 years old. Lisa F., 40, Basel (CH) The energy of the Inner Alignment is still intensely present within myself, even after weeks have passed. My indulging Self seems to have disappeared all of a sudden. I do sports, I keep a diet, I have ceased drinking alcohol altogether and I am inwardly very quiet…” Briant. R, 48, artist, Vienna (A) For years I had severe knee problems. At the beginning of the session Burhan diagnosed a difference in leg lengths as the main cause for my knee problems. What then happened was beyond any explanation, but surely my legs had levelled out and after a very short time the pain in my knee had left me. Until today I have not had any problems with my knees and for this I am very grateful to Burhan. To summarize the Inner Alignment: I cannot explain it, but it works! Theo., 35, Freiburg (Ger) Since my treatment I have less aches and pains in my back hips and knees. I am able to walk upstairs without holding on to the handrail. My husband noticed a change in me as soon as I came home which was surprising since I don‘t think he believes in such treatments. I still don‘t know what you did apart from some hochuspochus (a joke ) But as the saying goes: if it works do it! Thanks a lot.Saundra W., | 1/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanSept 22: Brain Science and tapping the full potential of your teens brain with Dr. Joanne Deak | Have you ever ask your teen "What the heck were you thinking of?" only to get a blank confused look in return? JoAnn Deak, Ph.D., shares exactly what is inside that wonderful teen brain. Guess what, it's not filled with cotton :). Plus, Dr. Deak says parents can be a neurosculptor of our child's brain and play a critical role in providing an environment to cultivate your child's brain development. Get your scaples out and find out how we sculpt our children's brain to do more than just pick up their socks. Learn about the differences between the female and male brain. Find out why parents and educators at schools from New York to Hawaii have heralded Dr. Deak’s ability to demystify complex issues of child development, learning, identify formation and brain research. About our Guest: JoAnn Deak, Ph.D., has spent more than thirty years as an educator and psychologist, helping children develop into confident and competent adults. The latter half of that period has also focused on working with adults, parents and teachers in their roles as guides or ‘neurosculptors’ of children. On her website is a quote that best describes her perspective on her work: “Every interaction a child has, during the course of a day, influences the adult that child will become.” Parents and educators at schools from New York to Hawaii, as well as such organizations as the National Association of School Psychologists, the National Association of Independent Schools, the Association of International Schools, the American Montessori Society and the International Baccalaureate Association, have heralded Dr. Deak’s ability to demystify complex issues of child development, learning, identify formation and brain research. Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other has called Dr. Deak “an earnest idealist and a rigorous researcher… a good combination of head and heart.” Michael Thompson, author of Raising Cain and Best Friends, Worst Enemies, has said that her writing “offers parents humor, understanding, parenting philosophy, and well founded words of wisdom.” Linda Ellerbee, journalist and TV host, commented on Dr. Deak’s book: “There’s real wisdom between these covers. Do yourself a favor. Buy one copy for yourself [or your mother] and another to save for when your daughter is mother to a daughter.” Dr. Deak began her career as an elementary teacher and head of the science department. She soon learned the complexity of dealing with the many brain and motivational patterns represented by the diverse students in her classes. This led to her work at Kent State University, one of only three universities in the United States to have a specialty in Preventive Psychology at that time. Her doctoral work focused on how to assess those environmental, school and family patterns that lead to the healthy development of children and, conversely, those patterns that cause issues, problems and disabilities. After several years in private practice, Dr. Deak began consulting with schools in Ohio. In the 1980′s she worked with the Laurel School as a consulting psychologist, where she participated in a six-year study with Harvard and a team of researchers lead by Carol Gilligan. Following that study, Dr. Deak joined Laurel School as the Director of the Lower School and Director of the Middle School. She also was the founding Director of Early Childhood. She left Laurel in 1999 to expand her consulting role with parents, schools and other organizations nationwide and internationally. Dr. Deak has been an advisor to Outward Bound, a past chair of the National Committee for Girls and Women in Independent Schools, on the advisory board for the Center on Research for Girls [Laurel School], for the Seattle Girls’ School, Bromley Brook School, the Red Oak School, Power Play and GOAL. She consults with organizations and schools across the United States. Most recently, she has worked international | 9/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanAug 18: Bully prevention and protection | It's our worst nightmare as parents. Your kid is being teased or picked on at school. Or perhaps your kid is accused of being a bully. A one time offender is not really a bully. But, what is a bully then? J. Richard Knapp, a former school principle, tells us about how he defines bullying. It's so tempting to just delegate the problem of bullying at the school, but are they the only ones responsible for solving the problem? J.Richard Knapp shares his thoughts on what parents should do to prevent bullying at school and what they are responsible for in solving the problem. About our Guest: J. Richard Knapp is an American author from Roseburg, Oregon. Educated at Boise State University and the University of Oregon, he worked as an elementary teacher and principal from 1972-2007 before writing his first book for children and teens. Knapp's accomplishments as a writer and speaker include four published books, a free email bully prevention newsletter, and a national speaker on the development of healthy organizations through Dignity, Respect, and Understanding - including the removal of bully behavior. The Early Years: J Richard Knapp was born in Ontario, Oregon. Knapp's stories often reflect his experiences as a young boy exploring the banks of the Snake River with his closest friends. His adventurous nature and creative mind often led to great stories about life on the river. The author's life as a young teen turned to turmoil in the early 1960’s. His small rural community could no longer compete in the world market. Knapp’s parents soon found themselves without jobs and no future. The family sold everything they owned and moved to Boise, Idaho in hopes of starting over again. The months and years ahead were hard, as the family struggled in deep poverty just to survive. J Richard Knapp’s book, Bobby’s Story, is based upon this time in his life. Knapp's family moved to Nampa, Idaho in 1963 to begin a new small business. Although the family continued to struggle financially, his parents eventually built the business into a successful venture. J Richard Knapp formulated his beliefs of Dignity, Respect, and Understanding during these years. J Richard Knapp graduated from high school in 1967. His accomplishments as an athlete earned him a scholarship to Boise State University, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree and Master of Arts Degree in Education. This was followed by post graduate work at the University of Oregon in administration. The author began his teaching career in the winter of 1972 at Lincoln Elementary School in Pocatello, Idaho. The following year, Knapp accepted an elementary teaching position at Eagle Elementary School in Eagle, Idaho. The author remained in this position until the summer of 1978; when he accepted a teaching position at Fir Grove Elementary School in Roseburg, Oregon. He would continue as an elementary teacher until 1986, when Knapp accepted his first position as an elementary principal at West Intermediate School in Sutherlin, Oregon. The author later served as principal of Eastwood Elementary School and Sunnyslope Elementary School in Roseburg, Oregon over the next twenty one years. J Richard Knapp developed a positive reputation of working with low economic schools. Knapp periodically served as an adjunct graduate school instructor for the University of Oregon during the 1990's. The author's course focused on developing the communication skills in educators. Knapp's classes were seeing his earliest concepts of Dignity, Respect, and Understanding. Bully Prevention Newsletter and Website: J Richard Knapp's commitment to the prevention of bullying has led to the creation of a free international email newsletter for educators, families, and communities. The newsletter provides readers with effective research and strategies for dealing with bully behavior. In addition, the author has created a website and various links to Facebook, Twitter, Squido | 8/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
