Report of the Head Start 2010 National Advisory Panel The Hat is where it's at: National PTA Joins the NEA's 2004 Read Across America Celebration! To accomplish this mass bedecking, NEA is encouraging reading events all across the country where groups who typically wear hats for their profession or for fun can exchange their regular hats for a reading hat and spend time reading to or with children. Picture coal miners in a West Virginia mine, cowboys at a Kansas City rodeo, chefs in a famed Louisiana restaurant, auto workers at a Tennessee Saturn plant all changing their own headgear to be ready for reading on March 2. This is a great opportunity for PTAs to invite parents and community members into classrooms to talk about the different hats they wear and the role reading plays in their lives.

From So That Every Child Can Read . . . America Reads Community Tutoring Partnerships. A Review of Effective and Promising Practices in Volunteer Reading Tutoring Programs , April 1999. Tennessee Literacy Coalition: Parents Learn to be Tutors From the Great Smoky Mountains in the east to the Mississippi River in the west, Tennessee is one long, narrow state of contrasts. Cities such as Nashville and Knoxville may be thriving, but many rural counties remain plagued by high levels of illiteracy and unemployment. To help narrow the prosperity gap, the Tennessee Literacy Coalition (TLC) has harnessed one of the state's best-known natural resources-its volunteer spirit-to launch Tennessee Reads. A series of tutor-training workshops across the state has drawn community volunteers, Federal Work-Study students, and parents in welfare-to-work programs. The need to improve literacy rates is the one thing that Blount County, in the east end of the state, and Dyer and McNairy Counties, in the west, have in common. The percentage of adults with less than a high school education in these counties ranges from 32 percent to 45 percent, and national comparisons of second-grade reading scores in 1997 placed the counties below the 55th percentile. Even before the America Reads Challenge, however, TLC was working to improve these numbers. "We already had in place a statewide literacy program to use AmeriCorps and VISTA volunteers to recruit tutors and develop tutoring sites," says Meg Nugent, Executive Director of TLC. "But America Reads gave our National Service learning project a jump start that we wouldn't have had otherwise. It has allowed us to expand our tutor-training capacity across the state."

Featured Article: About Divorce Source Client's Introduction to Tennessee's Parenting Plan Law (provided by Miles Mason, Sr., J.D.) As of January 1, 2001, the concept of "custody" disappeared from most of Tennessee's law books. This was a direct result of our new "parenting plan" legislation. As understanding of this law evolves, every judge and family law attorney across the state will for years to come struggle with its interpretation. To many clients' dissatisfaction, the exact answer to a particular question may not exist until a Judge rules on the issue. Even then, the Judge's decision has no precedential effect unless the Court of Appeals affirms it. This article is designed to provide a basic introduction to the new law and, thus, will not address everything you need to know. Your lawyer will need to answer your remaining questions, at least as far as they can be answered at this point. Creating this permanent parenting plan can be procedurally challenging. If there is not immediate agreement between the parties, mandatory mediation is an extra step that a party can request or a court can impose. For those parents seeking divorce who can get along, this should not pose a serious problem, only a few extra headaches. For those parents who cannot agree and do not get along, a serious investment of time and resources will be needed. In theory, this investment should pay dividends in the long run, reducing the need and expense of returning to the court system when conflicts arise.

Children's Health Pediatrics Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Kiwanis Center for Child Development The Kid's Academy Tennessee's Early Intervention System Parent and Community Education Pediatrics - Children who become ill or are injured need a hospital that recognizes their special needs. No one likes to think of a child being sick or hurt - but illness and accidents are part of childhood. When it's necessary for your child to have treatment, surgery, or tests, our Pediatric Unit provides just the right place, the right equipment, and the right people. The true value of our unit lies in the expertise of its pediatricians and its nurses. Our staff is chosen with children in mind, and their comfort is the number one priority. Each child is cared for as an entire person, with their physical, emotional, and psychological needs met. Little General, the tall blue spotted puppy, is our mascot. He appears at community events to promote health and safety and is often seen on the unit cheering up sick children. Wherever he goes, children light up and wrap their arms around him. Kids just love Little General. POPS (Pediatric Orientation Program) tours are designed for young children to better acquaint them with a hospital. The fears of being admitted to a hospital are lessened by becoming more familiar with our Pediatric Unit and its staff. School groups and scouts as well as other organized groups may take advantage of a POPS tour by calling 731-425-6751.
