Over Time

This paper reflects on the need to develop future leaders in rehabilitation organizations. Since the early beginnings of the rehabilitation profession in the United States, professional organizations have evolved, had great success, but have often run parallel to each other. Despite the numerous instances of professional organizations in rehabilitation counseling coming together for a common purpose, there has been a marked inability to maintain those collaborative efforts over time. Leaders in the future must find ways of recognizing the differences of the organizations and finding ways to see these challenges as potential opportunities that will allow the profession to move forward and grow. Recruiting and grooming creative leaders will be key.

Definition Of

As many of you are probably well aware, the concept of mandatory continuing education as a requirement for practicing health professionals is currently being debated or enacted by many licensing bodies and professional organizations. This mandatory continuing education debate is not only a heated issue here in Canada and the United States, but is also an extremely important issue in many other highly developed industrialized nations of the world. It is quite safe to assume that by the end of this century most, if not all, licensed health professionals will have a mandatory continuing education requirement. What the author intends to do in this analysis is first present a brief definition of continuing education, discuss some salient variables as they relate to continuing education, and finally discuss professionalism and professional obsolescence.

Care Practices

As cesarean rates have climbed to almost one-third of all births in the United States, current research and professional organizations have identified letting labor begin on its own as one of the most important strategies for reducing the primary cesarean rate. At least equally important, letting labor begin on its own supports normal physiology, prevents iatrogenic prematurity, and prevents the cascade of interventions caused by labor induction. This article is an updated evidence-based review of the “Lamaze International Care Practices That Promote Normal Birth, Care Practice #1: Let Labor Begin on Its Own,” published in The Journal of Perinatal Education, 16(3), 2007.

Technology Teaching

The last three years has seen a marvelous resurgence of interest in the use of calculators for teaching mathematics. Much of the credit goes to professional organizations like the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that have promoted the use of calculators. The renewed interest in the use of calculators in schools coupled with the sale of over 250 million electronic hand-held calculators in the last ten years in the United States (about three for each household) suggests that an opportunity exists for a revolution in mathematics education.
