		Spiral Synergy is about exploring the relationship between you and all things you interact with.
		As they accumulate experience in using the techniques of Spiral Synergy, students are encouraged to become more aware of physical and energetic processes and patterns and to educate others about their own self-healing potential.
		In this stage of the Spiral Synergy approach students further develop their observation skills and synthesize sessions to address physical and energetic patterns they are drawn to when they first connect to the field of their client.

	The Spiral Approach to Topic Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This approach is referred to as a spiraling process, where concepts are studied by cycling back to previous study and expanding the cycle toward further study.
		This spiraling process continues throughout each of the five courses in the program.
		For that reason, the first chapter of the Geometry course spirally provides the quick review of the first three chapters of the Algebra I course, and are then applied frequently throughout the Geometry course.

	Spiral Relativity Demo
		It is plain to see that the spiral is longer than the straight line that connects two points, even with the 2-D projection of the 3-D curve.
		As the tilt angle approaches Pi/2, the velocity along the spiral approaches infinity, as the secant(tilt angle).
		The winding is assumed to have a roughly constant small tilt relative to the horizontal, and its effect is ignored as the winding is represented as a stack of rings.

	Spiral Dynamics FAQ
		Given what's been done to the name of Spiral Dynamics in the past couple of years, we need to say up front that what it is not is a quirky religion, or a cult, a social movement, a New Age excuse for right-wing politics, or a path to godliness.
		The practical Spiral Dynamics application of Graves (which NVCC partner Cowan co-created over a period of two decades) is conceptually rich, and many other useful theories, models, knowledge sets, and techniques can be sorted through its lens to better match therapists with clients, teachers and students, managers and employees, governance and governed, investigators with topics.
		Statements like "for the good of the whole Spiral" and "so that each whorl of the spiral can be healthy and fulfilled" and "so people at each level can be the best they can within their circumstances" are all renditions of answers to the question.

	............Rosado Consulting:Articles -- What is Spirituality?....
		Since Green leaders value such an approach, reflective of their operational level of consciousness, memetic values, and mode of thinking, they tend to think that this approach to leadership is the best one when it comes to working with a group, getting things done, and decision-making.
		The result is a one-size-fits-all or monomemetic approach to leadership and management, where the person is focused on one memetic level, usually their own, and believes that effective leadership is one where all persons are treated the same.
		A Spiral Leader or multimemetic person is one who values the entire array of memetic levels, is able to see the whole spiral of human differences, and knows how to speak the “psychological languages” of people at their respective levels of existence.

	............Rosado Consulting:Spiral Dynamics............
		Spiral Dynamics is the first, major, systemic, conceptual system and complex way of thinking about everything that addresses the "big picture" and holistic perspectives currently in vogue in cutting-edge executive leadership thinking.
		What is different about Spiral Dynamics is that through MeshWORKS we have developed the capacity to fit all of these programs to the specific needs, developmental levels, and modes of thinking of various groups, functions, audiences, and cultures.
		For example, in dealing with racism and diversity training, Spiral Dynamics moves beyond racial, ethnic, and gender stereotypes, which are the fossils of human activity in the past and which will have no role to play in the new millennium, to explore deep-level Value Systems that can bridge racial/ethnic/gender divides.

	Spiral Development - Building the Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Spiral development can be sharply defined with invariants and variants; i.e., those aspects that are essential in every spiral project and those other aspects that can differ between projects.
		Spiral development was seen as requiring a shift in mindsets where collaboration and cooperation is the norm rather than the exception.
		Spiral development, we believe, is a generator of change, particularly in terms of the nature of the contractual relationship.

		Under the spiral model the answers to these questions are driven by risk considerations and vary from project to project and sometimes from one spiral cycle to the next.
		Spiral Essential 3 dictates the use of risk considerations to answer the difficult questions concerning how much is enough of a given activity such as domain engineering, prototyping, testing, configuration management, and so on.
		A major difficulty of the original spiral model was its lack of intermediate milestones to serve as commitment points and progress checkpoints.

	AKO undergoes spiral development
		Spiral development lets program offices add new features to the existing systems on an incremental basis, without making radical changes to the design of the systems.
		The spiral development approach was not written into the original contract that AKO had with Appian, Beckley said.
		Spiral development is intended to address DOD’s ongoing problem of technology obsolesce, in which technology that is specified in the start of the program is out of date by the time the platforms are actually delivered.

		SPIRAL is a generator for platform-adapted libraries of DSP transform algorithms.
		In contrast to standard approaches such as the row-column algorithm, this algorithm allows an arbitrary decomposition, based solely on the size of the transform independent of the dimension of the transform.
		Meta-SPL provides the approach to declare new symbols that can be used as SPL keywords, as well as the mechanism to define the semantics of these new symbols.

	Reprinted from Journal of Chemical Education, Vol
		The second spiral explores fundamental chemical ideas in a frame work of real-world case studies such as lasers, air pollution, and blood chemistry.
		This approach allows students to appreciate the concept's application in a rigorous and non-superficial manner.
		In order for our approach to be adopted widely, the case studies that we have prepared specifically for Willamette would need to be augmented with additional topics so that other institutions could select those that meet their curricular demands.

	Help Screen on "The Spiral", Math Foundations 2.0
		Although the spiral approach works well enough for learning shapes, time, and other topics, it can present a problem for learning the math facts.
		When the spiral progresses to the next topic (identifying shapes, for example), the child may have a break from the math facts and start to lose them.
		You can blend the two approaches by having the child continue with the spiral in the book for the other math topics while practicing math facts independently.

	Crosswalk.com - Learning Spiral Part II
		In our previous article, we began to explain a concept that we call "spiral learning" and how institutional educators have developed this pedagogical approach over the past several decades into a system of education that adversely permeates both public and private schools across our land.
		One glaring problem with the spiral approach is that there is never a place within the learning spiral where the student must stop if he does not master certain skills or information.
		Furthermore, not only does the spiral learning approach not guarantee mastery, it also does not contribute to a family learning environment or an individualized learning plan for special students.

	Spiral Development Tools
		Free Flight's secret sauce is a technique called "spiral development"—known within the agency as "build a little, test a little, deploy a little"—an approach quite different from the FAA's traditional practice of delivering (or failing to deliver) enormous projects in one big package on a specified date.
		This is a version of the spiral development methodology that the FAA has embraced, which is aimed at reducing risks and clarifying project goals through an iterative series of prototypes.
		The spiral approach is a reaction to the "waterfall" methodology, commonly illustrated as an irreversible flow down a series of steps, from the original determination of objectives and requirements to the production software that emerges at the bottom.

		We have tested the applicability of the global modal approach in the density wave theory of spiral structure for a sample of six spiral galaxies: NGC 488, NGC 628, NGC 1566, NGC 2985, NGC 3938 and NGC 6503.
		The galaxies demonstrate a variety of spiral patterns from the regular open and tightly wound spiral patterns to a multi-armed spiral structure.
		Namely the theory predicts observed grand-design spiral structure in the galaxy NGC 1566, the tightly-wound spirals in galaxies NGC 488 and NGC 2985, the two-armed spiral pattern with the third spiral arm in the galaxy NGC 628, and the multi-armed spiral structure in the galaxies NGC 3938 and NGC 6503.

		In an iterative approach, if there is sufficient reason to do so, one may return to a previously completed step, introduce a change, and then propagate the effects of that change forward in the life-cycle.
		A recursive approach is one where the entire approach may be re-applied to the end products of the approach.
		Each cycle is completed by a review, with go/no-go plans made for the next cycle, As the Spiral life-cycle progresses, the overall cost of the product is determined by the radius of the spiral, and the progress is determined by "angular displacement." The "spiral" moves outward from the center.

	1.1.3 The production process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The waterfall approach represents an ideal situation which is rare in actual practice, but provides a goal which the spiral approach should attempt to move towards.
		The spiral will continue until the artefact is released, but the process is never considered completely finished as the spiral continues into the maintenance phase.
		The spiral process is more suited to the way in which most developers have been observed to work in most situations.

		Still the best approach for achieving this is to use the Parnas information-hiding approach to encapsulate the foreseeable sources of change within modules [14].
		They use similar approaches in working in advance with their clients to ensure a workable SAIV scope and schedule, and in anticipating and pre-working potential transition problems to client-based operations and maintenance [20].
		This approach is workable because DoD's operations and maintenance acquisition practices are similar to their commercial counterparts.

		In such an approach, DoD customers were expected to be able to articulate their needs and requirements for new system capabilities prior to system development.
		To be clear, the VISTA approach is new, but the tools, techniques, and concepts it involves--incremental acquisition and development, virtual prototyping, wide-area collaboratories, software requirements negotiation and validation environments, etc.--are beginning to be used in system acquisition efforts.
		The VISTA approach we presented is a vision of how the acquisition of software-intensive systems can be designed and streamlined for use in the years ahead.

		Finally, the math board of our nation is implementing a new plan to undo the damage that is being done in our nation’s schools in math.
		They cover it so briefly, on such a surface level that their minds never have a chance to mull over, think through and understand math or science.
		With this approach, only the very extremely math minded — kids who do math for fun in their bed at night — really succeed.
