Extractions: On Wednesday afternoons at Franklin Magnet Middle School there is an after-school enrichment program that is bringing some exciting opportunities to a group of 22 talented math and science students. Funded by a grant through the Illinois Math and Science Academy in Aurora, we were chosen as one of fourteen districts to pilot this program. Franklin teachers Kery Strysick and Christopher Schultz are working with Science Coordinator, Kevin Kuppler, to lead students in challenging and interactive activities. The E2K+ program staff members have traveled to I.M.S.A.twice for training sessions and communicate weekly with I.M.S.A. staff. Classroom teachers from grades kindergarten through high school met at the Champaign Schools Science Center on January 15th to discuss science curriculum. These seventeen teachers, of varying levels of experience, were able to give several valuable perspectives on the strengths and shortcomings of our science units. From first and second year staff we gained insights on how a new teacher might feel when issued a science tub and teachers manual. From veteran teachers we learned more about the history of science education in our district. All in all, this was an energizing experience for those who participated and valuable for all of us teaching science in Champaign schools.

Extractions: Reflection/Re-integration The Basic information allows the teacher to immediately identify the theme, topic and materials. Outcomes are stated for each of the multidimensional syllabi. The Teaching/learning Steps and Procedures involve three components. The personalisation phase allows learners to consider their own experiences and attitudes about the subject under consideration. The contextualisation phase offers key information about the communicative situation and the nature of the text. Regarding the communicative situation students should know who is communicating with whom, for what reason, in what relationship (eg., mother-daughter, boss-employee, friend-friend). The nature of the text should be made clear by indicating certain key discourse characteristics (eg. poems may have uneven lines and atypical punctuation; letters usually have formulaic openings and closings). Teachers will also encourage learners to use their knowledge of similar texts from their mother tongue. Employed effectively, these two components, personalization and contextualisation, permit learners to anticipate new information.

In fact, some are more geared to a classroom, or institutions that have greater resources than a home school but, all in all, I really have the home schooling in mind and heart as I pick and choose and evaluate them. That is only because I especially admire the parent (and student) who is attempting to buck the system, go against the flow, and see to it that their family's values and objectives are met more completely and precisely than they trust the public education system(s) will do.

Extractions: October 3, 2003 (1:40 p.m. EDT) MR. ERELI: Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the State Department briefing room, where we have a special guest, Director Andrew Natsios of the United States Agency for International Development, will be briefing us on reconstruction in Iraq. Director Natsios will be bringing to us what we think are some really newsworthy success stories of partnership and progress in Iraq with U.S. assistance and Iraqi, sort of ingenuity, know-how and commitment. With that, I'll introduce Director Natsios, who will have a few remarks of introduction, and then take your questions. ADMINISTRATOR NATSIOS: School starts tomorrow in Iraq, on the 4th, and when kids return to school they'll find the following things that are very new: 1,595 schools have been completely rehabilitated and reconstructed. These schools, in many cases, had been abandoned for years; in other cases, they had been looted; in other cases, simply, they had fallen into disrepair the electrical wiring had been ripped out, the plumbing had been ripped out, the water systems were not functional, there was no electricity; the ceiling fans, which are critically important, what's in 125 degree temperature in the schools in many months during the year, which if the fans don't function, it's difficult for the kids to stay awake.

The word culture comes from the Latin root colere, (to inhabit, to cultivate, or to honor). In general it refers to human activity; different definitions of culture reflect different theories for understanding, or criteria for valuing, human activity. In 1952 Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn compiled a list of over 200 different definitions of culture in their book, Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions Click the link for more information. through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains, including architecture This article is about architecture as referring to buildings; for other meanings of the word see computer architecture, software architecture, information architecture Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings. A wider definition would include within its scope the design of the total built environment, from the macrolevel of town planning, urban design, and landscape to the microlevel of furniture and product design. Architecture, equally importantly, also refers to the product of such a design.

Extractions: Before students read the magazine, initiate a discussion of "trade." What do students trade among themselves? What gives value to their trades? Help students to recognize that sometimes people "trade" goods for goods (barter) and sometimes they trade goods for money (commerce). Have students share ways in which they have bartered or engaged in commerce. Brainstorm with students where their family cars, food, and clothing might come from and list answers on board. Divide the students into groups to research the origins of cars, clothing, and food in their families and community. Sample activities could include a survey of the school parking lot for car manufacturers and a survey of peers to list their family cars' manufacturers. Students could graph their results to show the percentage of cars made in Japan, Germany, US, France, etc. Students could list the foods they ate over a three-day period and determine countries of origin; then graph or present the results. Do their survey results match with their anticipated results from brainstorming? Did they discover any surprises? Note that some products which carry a USA trademark might have parts that were made elsewhere.

Extractions: The earliest written description of archaeological sites in the state was made by the renowned Spanish explorers and Catholic fathers Dominguez and Escalante, who traveled north from New Mexico into western Colorado and then west into the Uinta Basin of northern Utah in 1776. Their detailed journal contains priceless descriptions of the countryside and its inhabitants and mentions ruins in the Uinta Basin near the confluence of the Uinta and Duchesne rivers. Little archaeological information was recorded during the succeeding seventy-five years. Government exploration of the Four Corners region in southeastern Utah commenced at about the same time as Mormon settlement in the north. Between 1849 and the late 1870s individuals such as J.H. Simpson, J.N. Macomb, J.S. Newberry, W.H. Jackson, F.V. Hayden, W.H. Holmes, and others traveled the Four Corners area discovering and documenting many Anasazi sites in the Mesa Verde Region of southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah. In the 1870s members of the Untied State Geographical Survey expedition led by Lt. George Wheeler excavated sites at Beaver and Provo and wrote provocative descriptions of mounds in Parowan Valley. At the latter location (described earlier by Brigham Young above), they estimated that there were 400 to 500 structures.

Extractions: The most obvious, and, in many ways, perhaps the most important career path is in teaching. Depending on the level of teaching, you may need to take additional courses in other subjects or specialize in a narrowly defined field of history. While most public schools will require additional study to acquire a teaching degree as well, independent schools often do not ask for special qualifications. Both public and independent schools expect history and social studies teachers to coach students in some extracurricular activity as well therefore, proficiency in such areas will be helpful. Apart from having a strong motivation to teach very young children, students of history interested in teaching in elementary schools (grades K6) must take a wide range of courses, including anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, and sociology in preparation for certification by the state to teach social studies. They also must take a general studies curriculum required of all teachers of grades K6; this includes introductory courses in English, music and art, science, history, and geography, as well as specialized courses in math, physical education, and teaching techniques. Those interested in teaching at the elementary level should consult the education department of a local college or university or officials in the state in which they hope to teach for further guidance and to determine additional requirements.
