Do We Want An Outsider Making Inroads?

Jejak Panda Selamat Membaca Di Situs Kesayangan Anda judi bandarq online I have to admit that this past spring I conducted a site visit for the UConn Early College Experience Program to the Amistad Academy in New Haven, and was impressed with what I observed. I saw dedicated teachers working hard with a lot of urban kids who were, by and large, about to become the first in their families to go to college. Iâ€™d have to do a little more research to find out how much the Amistad Academy skims, like so many charters do. Do they take special education students, ELL students, and kids with histories of behavior problems, or do they only take the best behaved, most motivated, smartest, and least complicated of New Havenâ€™s public school students? So when I read this morning that Governor Malloy had selected Amistad founder Stefan Pryor to become Connecticutâ€™s next State Commissioner of Education, I had a mixed reaction. I read several articles today about Pryor and the Amistad Academy...

Resistance To Nclb

Jejak Panda Menambah Ilmu Dengan Membaca Di Situs Kesayangan Anda judi ceme online â€œUnjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?â€ Itâ€™s an odd coincidence that I encountered this line from Thoreauâ€™s â€œResistance to Civil Governmentâ€ tonight. It was lateâ€”is late as I write thisâ€”and I am preparing to teach tomorrow by reviewing the assigned readings. After a day of meeting with advisees, I ran off to the School Governance Council meeting for my sonâ€™s school, at which we had two guests from the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE), including its executive director, Bob Reader. Then I drove across the state in the rain to attend a roundtable discussion in Meriden hosted by US State Representative Chris Murphyâ€™s education aide Linda Forman, at which we discussed the reauthorization and overhaul of the No Child Left Behind act. This a...

Welcome To The New Gilded Age

Jejak Panda Selamat Datang Di Blog Kesayangan Anda Dan Selamat Membaca bandarq terbaik We got robbed the other day. Really. Some guy or guys parked their van in our driveway in the middle of the afternoon, broke into our house, and ransacked our bedroom, taking mostly jewelry. Thatâ€™s not the point of my story here. Two state troopers came to the house in the evening and helped us file a report. They were really nice guys. One, the younger of the two, was really sweet with my son. He sat on the edge of his bed and assured him that things would be all right, that theyâ€™d be patrolling the neighborhood regularly for the next couple days. He gave him a stuffed animal he had in his patrol car. The trooper looked familiar, and I wondered if Iâ€™d ever had him as a student. I didnâ€™t, but he just graduated in 2003 from a local school where I know a few teachers and where Iâ€™ve done some professional development last year and this. I told him Iâ€™d say hi to his old English teac...

Writing Uconn

Jejak Panda Hai.. Bertemu Lagi Di Website Kesayangan Anda situs bandarq In the late 80s when the Aetna Endowment and the Aetna Chair of Writing were established in the English Department at UConn, the state legislature named the Connecticut Writing Project a Center for Excellence, a title that was used for many years for marketing purposes but eventually fell into disuse. Being a Center for Excellence is not the same as being a University Academic Center such as the UConn Writing Center, but somehow the similar titles caused confusion, and so at the end of the Spring semester in 2009 I received an email from our Provostâ€™s Office informing me that I had to conduct a five-year aktivitas review of the CWP in order for it to be reauthorized as an academic center. Worse, the email said that if no previous review had been performed, the new review had to cover the aktivitas since its inception. For us, that was 1982. To make a long story short, I complied, spending most of my so-called...

Strutting And Fretting Upon The Stage

Jejak Panda Hallo Jumpa Lagi Kita Di Website Ini judi bandarq In hindsight, I made the mistake of playing football in high school. I should have taken more art classes and music classes. Or I really should have tried out for drama. But it was a real jock school and I wanted desperately to be on a team, even if it meant only playing in the fourth quarter during blowouts. I began wishing I had done some acting the moment I started my high school teaching career and realized how well drama worked in the classroom. Years before I read Jeff Wilhelmâ€™s You Gotta BE the Book , I had students acting out parts from Romeo and Juliet and The Crucible , A Streetcar Named Desire and Arsenic and Old Lace . Iâ€™ll never forget this one student I had who had been placed in foster care with a woman in our town. Gwen was one of the most difficult students I ever had in class, but she was stellar as Juliet, sitting on a chair perched atop a table to simulate the balcony scene of Act II, scene ii...
