Man...It's Been Busy

Miscellaneous department news and notes:

I know most of us have information on the Carter G. Woodson Essay Contest. If you missed it, here's the flyer:


Also, Lesley showed this contest to me earlier in the week. Looks interesting.

Also, Buffalo State College just contacted me seeking mentor teachers for Methods students. They are required to complete 20 hours of fieldwork and 10 hours of tutoring at a site specified by the college. This fieldwork should include "some general observations, the opportunity to experience duties of teachers outside the classroom (for example: extracurricular activities after school, planning time, team meetings, etc.) and actual teaching time"(emphasis added by Buffalo State). If you are interested, call Wynnie Fisher at 878-5501 or email her at fisherwl@bscmail.buffalostate.edu.

Also, Studio Arena contacted me and let me in on the fact that next year they will be performing To Kill a Mockingbird. It's special knowledge, only available to me, you, and every other Joe Teacher that responded to their survey.

Lastly, I will be posting minutes from the last AP Vertical Team meeting shortly. Grades, grading and other miscellany have really mired me in morass.
