Extractions: · "When I die, I hope it's in a meeting - the transition from life to death will be barely perceptible." There is more than a little bit of truth to this joke from an unknown author. We've all found ourselves trapped in worthless meetings. This session will focus on learnable skills for developing good meetings - both in preparation and execution. Strategies will be provided for planning a meeting, developing an agenda, maintaining a positive atmosphere, encouraging group interaction and facilitating the decision-making process.

Extractions: Dear Allen, I hope you haven't forgotten me! Jackie Johnson. (Tall, confused black girl!) :) I intern taught at Loy Norrix High School? Yeah, me! How are you? I'm not doing so well. I'm down here in Greensboro, North Carolina, teaching at Lincoln Middle School. I have seventh graders. I teach Language Arts and Social Studies (yes, they stuck me with an area I know absolutely nothing about!). I got my wish...I'm teaching in the inner city. The school is in one of the worst areas in the city. Our students population is 97% minority. The faculty is 98% minority. I enjoy working with my students and I love my colleagues. The principal, Mr. Hash, is okay. He's a push-over, but he loves people... especially our "exceptional" children at Lincoln. Despite the fact that I enjoy living here in the south where it's nice and warm, I hate teaching. I don't like using that word but I do feel that strongly about my career choice. It's too much work. I was not prepared for this workload. I'm up late every night grading papers and getting lesson plans together. Then I'm up early the next morning meeting with parents before school. Then there are the boring, pointless staff meetings, which are really "bitch sessions." I have no time for myself. I realize I'm overwhelmed since it's my first year teaching, but my mentor teacher, Joyce, who has been teaching for eleven years now, says my situation may or may not change, depending on how much I put into my career. She told me she hasn't read a book or written in her journal in ten years!
Italy - Language This is a haven for all those interested in archeology. Because so much of the schoolactivities are based outside, our school is only open during the summer http://www.alliancesabroad.com/Language/Italy_lang_capo.htm
Extractions: The region of Calabria in Southern Italy is generally thought of as a Maritime region, a long peninsula with some 800-km of coastline, with sandy beaches, coves and is practically all-mountainous. Its ancient history dates back to the very roots of Mediterranean and European civilizations and is a land of traditions. The Greeks, the Romans and even the Norman's recognized the delight of this fertile landscape across the bridge of the Italian Atlas "boot" and all remained there for long periods. Today well-preserved excavation finds from early settlements, temples, statues and columns give us an almost perfect view into the traditions and customs of this period. This is a haven for all those interested in archeology.
Extractions: A quarterly newsletter to promote urban-related teaching, research, and outreach at UT. Urban Issues Program MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR New semester greetings from the UIP. We are expecting a challenging but rewarding year. Our first academic program, a Doctoral Portfolio in Urban Studies, is being launched this semester and we continue development work on an undergraduate degreee program. Given the success of the graduate student research colloquium last spring, we will sponsor another and will seek your help in advertising it. I would like to remind you of the UIP's role in promoting urban-related activities on campus. We would be pleased to include in our calendar, homepage, or future newsletters any announcements you may have on urban-related activities. Since our homepage hits are up, we believe we can be of help in reaching interested parties on and off campus. Robert H. Wilson *FALL 1999 URBAN-RELATED COURSE LISTING Each semester the UIP provides UT advising offices with an inventory of urban-related courses at the University. A new listing of courses for the Spring Semester 2000 will be available soon. If you are teaching a new urban-related course in the spring, please contact Jane Moore or call 475-8651.
Extractions: A lesson plan format Student teaching expectations Social Studies Web Starters Rationale: Welcome New Social Studies Teachers! This course is an introduction to practical methods for teaching content and skills in the secondary social studies classroom. Because learning and teaching are life-long endeavors, it is impossible to acquire all the necessary ideas and knowledge in one course. Therefore, this course forms a continuum with EDC 667, the student teaching internship, where you will have the opportunity to practice many techniques and strategies introduced in EDC 370S. In your teaching career, you will be required to participate in continued professional development each year, so you should expect your knowledge and skill to continue to grow over time. This is just the beginning of what I hope will be a long and satisfying experience for you. Purpose: to acquire an introduction to the skills and resources necessary to teach secondary social studies Objectives: to gain skill in classroom facilitation and presentation to gain knowledge of social studies resources for teachers, including the Internet
