Pioneer Teacher from Chiniak School, Kodiak, Alaska is 1995 National Teacher of the Year President William J. Clinton, Elaine Griffin, 1995 National Teacher of the Year The White House Rose Garden April 28, 1995 Washington, D.C.- (April 1995) Elaine B. Griffin, a native New Yorker who has helped revolutionize education in two remote Alaskan villages over the past 20 years, has been named the 1995 National Teacher of the Year. Ms Griffin, head teacher of Alaska's Kodiak Island Chiniak School, was honored at a White House Rose Garden ceremony, where President Clinton presented her with a crystal apple, the traditional symbol of teaching. The National Teacher of the Year Program is the oldest and most prestigious awards program to focus public attention on excellence in teaching. Now in its 44th year, the program is sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers and Scholastic Inc. "Elaine Griffin's impact on education in Alaska sets an example for teachers everywhere," said Gordon Ambach, executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers. "Her success in raising student performance and expanding personal horizons in her village school is a remarkable achievement and inspiring example for every teacher and school." Griffin, whose range of teaching excellence spans subject areas from kindergarten through high school, is credited with expanding and significantly improving the educational, social, and cultural environments of Akhiok and Chiniak villages on Kodiak Island, Alaska.

Boxes within boxes Jane Skinner Ottewell School Edmonton, Alberta Several years ago, Ms. Skinner and her fellow teachers at Ottewell School made it a priority to teach their students a number of the thinking skills developed by the psychologist Edward De Bono. Based on their experience, they have pared these down to about half a dozen basic techniques that they teach at logical points throughout the curriculum. Below she describes some of the learning tools and the context in which they are used at her school. Teaching science the Ottewell way The Ottewell science program packages integrate the provincial science curriculum and the thinking skills we derived from Edward De Bono. Teams from the various grade levels create and then constantly improve the packages. Our first priority in unit-planning is to make the lessons fun, relevant and easy. Consistently addressing all learning styles is also an important goal. We use a wide range of approaches (e.g. analogies, models, diagrams and activities) to make scientific concepts as concrete as possible and we follow a logical pattern of interconnected learning to attach new learning to old. For students, the primary benefit of the program is that they are involved in their own learning. We make it clear to them that they are expected to achieve their personal best. Given high standards for achievement and behaviour, they are made aware that they are responsible for and in control of both. We show students that they already know most of the science curriculum from experience in their daily lives; we are just helping them develop a greater awareness and learn some technical terms to help them communicate efficiently.

Time Warp On Science On Health On Defense ... Artcam An Interview with Larry Albright Neon Artist The neon sign is an inextricable part of the urban landscape whose beginnings go back over seventy years. Once used solely to draw attention to diners, bars, theatres and the like, today examples of signage from the thirties through the sixties are exhibited in art galleries. This is an example of advertising illustration developed under a craft ethic being redefined as 'functional art.' In contrast to its use in displays, several fine artists over the last 30 years have used neon as an art medium. Larry Albright is one of these artists. His work has been shown in major exhibitions and is in permanent collections worldwide. Aside from his artistic work with plasma globes and neon sculpture, he is known for his development of the mass produced "Eye of the Storm" and "White Lightning" plasma globes developed for the consumer market and for his lighting designs for the movie industry.

Students will not have any lab fees, but minimal supplies may have to be purchased by groups for case studies. Catalog Description Engineering is the application of math, science and physics. In POE 1 you will learn about concepts common to all engineers and perform case studies as individuals and teams. Some of the case studies are as follows: the catch, Rube Goldberg machine competition, emergency/homeless shelter, career investigation, ethics studies, passive solar homes and the high mileage vehicle (HMV) prototype competition. Students will also compete in Engineering Expo, an event sponsored by the College of Engineering at UW. In all of the case studies students will consult with actual engineers and experts in the field of engineering as well as test the models they have made using a variety of instruments including computers. Field trips to universities and businesses and guest speakers will be utilized in the course. This program is recognized and receives support from the University of Wisconsin's School of Engineering.

Box 400228 Charlottesville, VA Tel: 434-924-3252 Fax: 434-982-2770 Alumni News Spring 2003 The Way They Live Now In September 1962, in the line outside the old housing office in Page House, one of my friends from my first year said that he was sleeping in the sand traps at Farmington while hunting for a room for the year. The following year, two of my friends, sharing a basement on Valley Road, joked about not having wall-to-wall floors. Their landlord had cured his basement flooding by raising the floor but leaving narrow ditches or troughs all the way around. When it rained, they stood on their island and watched the torrent flow around the room, then out through a Rube Goldberg arrangement of pipes and grates and tunnels. In 1961-62, a hundred fifty or so others and I lived in LeFevre House, right next to the cemetery. Although not posh, the McCormick Road houses were relatively new then. An outsider might have described us as exuberant. I doubted the tales about the Metcalf resident who decided he was a rooster and found a perch on a barn in Crozet only to be removed by a fire truck with a ladder, and about another who decided he was a messiah and offered to forgive Mr. Runk, who declined and sent the messiah home. Life there was loud, rich, and in the end, comforting. We formed friendships. We learned to govern ourselves. We played touch football and soft ball. We made some noise, and we sorted ourselves out.
