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

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

The Bogeyman

Jejak Panda Selamat Datang Di Website Kesayangam Anda bandarq online I feel as though all I have been doing for the last week is shoveling snow, scraping ice, and fixing my snow blower, which broke twice. I had such ice build up at the base of my house along the drivewayâ€”a good six inches thick in placesâ€”that I had to chop it up with an ax and then shovel it up. Not exactly my idea of a break. Though the Continued Funding Application for the National Writing Project grant pretty much wipes out any semblance of a break for me. I just get a reprieve from students for a month. That said, I was supposed to meet my new students yesterday but snow closed down the university and so I wonâ€™t be meeting them till Thursday. I know I donâ€™t have to make up the snow day in June like most of you reading this, but when you only meet your students twenty-eight times, losing a whole class is tough. Iâ€™ll have to condense the first two classes into one and make do. So I spent the day prep

Silver Linings And Other Accolades

Jejak Panda Kembali Lagi Bertemu Di Situs Kesayangan Anda situs bandar ceme Thereâ€™s been a mixture of good news and bad news on the budgetary front lately. Governor Malloy has announced cuts that have come down to the university in the form of a rescission this year, a fund sweep, a 1.5% cut for next year, and a 3% cut for the following year. But we also learned that the National Writing Project has been authorized to compete for competitive grants funds for FY11 and beyond. Itâ€™s not the news we wanted but it is better than a complete loss of funding. The best financial news I received came from the Aetna Advisory Board, which voted to increase funding to support the Summer Institute, allowing us to hold a full Institute of sixteen teachers with eight credit stipends and eight cash stipends. We might not be able to do much of anything else, but we can still hold a robust Summer Institute. Right now at the university we are winding down toward the end of the spring semester. M

Love Letters

Jejak Panda Kembali Bertemu Lagi Di Blog Ini, Silakan Membaca bandar ceme 99 One of the memorable lines from Dead Poets Society is when John Keating asks, â€œLanguage was developed for one endeavor, and that is â€¦?â€ Student Neil Perry says, â€œTo communicate?â€ and Keating responds, â€œNo! To woo women!â€ The other day, one of my former students said to me that she loves Valentineâ€™s Day because it is the one time of year when she has permission to express her attraction or admiration for every fascinating boy she knows, and so she spent Sunday evening making Valentines, which, on Monday, she handed out to most of the boys in her classes. Four house mates, all recipients of her admiration, were so touched that they pooled together their spare change after having paid their rent and bought groceries to purchase her one rose. She was almost in tears. Itâ€™s amazing to me the effect such small gestures can have, especially the small gesture of a letter or a note. I will admit t
