Subject: media analysis/production curriculum

Does anyone know of curricula for media analysis and production (a
subset
of media literacy) that's particularly effective for any grades from
kindergarten to 9th grade?=20

We're hoping to find something more than disconnected, individual lesson
plans (of which there are many) on topics related to media.

Re: Small Schools' Schedules

Kent School is a Pre-K to 8 day school with a little over 200
students. Our middle school has a rotating schedule for their
academic classes but their arts classes (music, art, drama, computer)
and their PE classes meet the same time each day Monday thru
Thursday. (These classes don't meet on Friday) Our middle school head
adjusts this schedule each summer, and somehow always makes it work.
I'd be happy to share our schedule with you if you'd like.

Sincerely,

Jim Landskroener

Google Highly Open Participation Contest

My apologies for the cross-posting:

The Google Highly Open Participation Contest (GHOP) is
"new effort to get young people (ages 13-18) involved
in open source development."

Several projects (Apache Software Foundation, Drupal,
GNOME, Joomla!, MoinMoin, Mono, Moodle, Plone, Python,
SilverStripe) are participating.

For details, see here:
http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/

For those specifically interested in working with
Drupal, the group supporting students working in the
project is here: http://groups.drupal.org/ghop-2007

For students, this is an opportunity to get directly
involved in open source development. For tech
instructors, this is also a chance to get directly
involved in open source development, and to learn more
about a specific project.

It's almost too good to be true!

Cheers,

Bill

Teaching About Islam Workshop - Dec. 1

THE PROGRESSIVE EDUCATORS' NETWORK PRESENTS: TEACHING ABOUT ISLAM -- A
WORKSHOP WITH SUSAN DOUGLASS Saturday, December 1st, 2007 8:30am -
2:00pm (with optional 2:00-3:00pm session on teaching resources)

We are excited to invite you to this opportunity to learn about basic
beliefs and practices of Islam and to discuss a few contemporary
hot-button issues. We will learn about comparative geography of Muslim
regions over time and what trips students up, like seeing monolithic
regions or distinguishing between religion, language, and culture in
relation to world maps. We will also delve into historical issues
particularly relevant to world cultures, world civilizations, world
history/geography classes at the middle school level and learn about some
cultural interactions between East and West in the arts, poetry, history
of technology & science, math & Islamic art.

Susan Douglass is a renowned educational consultant at the Prince Alwaleed
Bin Talal Center for Muslim Christian Understanding at Georgetown
University (ACMCU). She has an M.A. in Arab Studies from Georgetown
University and a B.A. in History from the University of Rochester, and is
currently enrolled in the doctoral program in history at George Mason
University. During 2006, she served as Senior Researcher for the United
Nations Alliance of Civilizations initiative, and was an Affiliated
Scholar with the Council on Islamic Education for over a decade. She
conducted teacher workshop nationwide for over a decade before developing
the workshop program at ACMCU.

We feel very privileged to have Susan and are very grateful to the Center
for bringing this workshop to us free of charge. Please register ASAP to

Re: a question about parent access to your building

Our policy is pretty much the same as stated by Kris, but our office is
right at the front door to the school, and there are two people in the
office almost all the time. The office has glass surrounding it so it
should be easy to monitor the comings and goings of visitors. The
problem is that both of our office employees are busy and cannot keep a
constant eye on who is entering and leaving the building.=20
Most parents do sign in and get a visitor's tag during the day, but that
rarely happens either before or after school. =20

Subject: a question about parent access to your building

Right now we have fairly open access to parents to come into out
building (we are a Pre K-12 school, in one big building). We have a
receptionist, and parents are supposed to sign in and get a visitors
tag... but this never happens around drop off and pick up and after
school hours, and not consistently during the day. Even if they do sign
in and get a visitor's tag, we let them do this and come in to the
school at any time of day (even if they do not have a specific
appointment with anyone, for instance) We do lock all but one door from
8:15-2:30 to restrict access.

My question is this:

How do you handle parents/visitors? Are they allowed to enter the school
at any time? What is your system? do they need a specific reason to
enter? What about drop off and pick up?

except for the specific year of graduation. Why will a 1968 graduate
do but not one for 1967 or 1969?

questions on school records in PK-8 schools

Thanks in advance for any info you can share about your school records
policy in a PK-8 setting...Pam

1. Does your PK-8 school include a section on FERPA (Buckley Amendment)
in your Parent-Student Handbook? If so, what is your policy?

2. Where do you keep records of disciplinary actions/interventions with
students?

3. If the disciplinary records are not kept with the academic ones, how
do you ensure that there is a complete record that provides a comprehensive
look at a child's academic, social, and behavioral progress?

Re: media analysis/production curriculum

Terry,

In the Baltimore-Washington area, we are well-known for media literacy
instruction. A combined library/technology department, we have a
well-developed US elective that is focused on four themes: the impact of
images, politics and citizenship in a media age, the selling of
addiction and the media in war and peace.

Our librarians work with our tech teachers to teach media, visual and
information literacy thru our MS tech classes and we do discrete lessons
in our LS on advertising and media stereotyping, as developmentally
appropriate.

Media production is part of all these efforts since only by that process
can students experience making editorial and ethical decisions.

Re: media analysis/production curriculum

Terry,

I know that Horace Mann School has been at the forefront of Media Literacy instruction. They even renamed their Technology Department to include Media. Adam Kenner is their Director of Technology.

Much of their work has been inspired (initially at least) from the New Mexico New Media Association.

media analysis/production curriculum

Does anyone know of curricula for media analysis and production (a subset
of media literacy) that's particularly effective for any grades from
kindergarten to 9th grade?

We're hoping to find something more than disconnected, individual lesson
plans (of which there are many) on topics related to media.

Re: Art/Technology Festival

We have an Art Festival for our lower school and showcase student's art
work k-5. The PTA assists us in recruiting volunteers but our Art
teacher is responsible for the event. Every child's art is show-cased,
we also showcase different arts related activities which change on an
annual basis but have included an open chess tournament, musical
performances, a small theatrical presentation, Judo demonstration and a
sewing/knitting demonstration. =20

Re: Art/Technology Festival

At Sidwell we have a Sunday festival in January for the whole school
community that includes hands-on crafts and visual art experiences along
with music, dance, and drama performances by students, parents, faculty,
and anyone else connected to the community. It's quite hectic and
over-stimulating, but a wonderful event! It's organized by a determined
group of parents that form an all-school Arts committee. The current
name for the event is "Artrageous", although it was previously called
"Art Attack" - I guess that offended someone.

The committee for this year has invited teachers to find projects
related to their areas of expertise that mix art with other subjects -
we are meeting with math, tech, science, and other teachers to plan
projects for the event that will integrate the arts and our areas.

Art/Technology Festival

Does any of your schools host a Art/Technology Festival during the
school year?

If you do, what kind of "events" or "showcases" do you have? Does your
parent organization become involved?

We are proposing one for our school and are trying to generate ideas
of what we can offer.

Thanks for any insight.

Daily Schedules

Hi,

While our current schedule meets many of our needs, as we increase our
enrollment in the US from approximately 300 students to 400 students over
the next 3 years, we are forming a committee to research other scheduling
options. I have been tasked to seek input from other schools of similar
size. So, if you have a daily schedule that you really like, I would
appreciate any input you could provide. Thank you in advance for your
help.

Once we started our tablet program, the students were given only user right=

Subject: Re: Antivirus

The best suggestion I can give you is to truly evaluate the need for
your students to run as local administrators. Any user running as local
administrator on a Windows PC is going to be subject to such problems.
At Key only IT staff run as local administrators, all other users
(students, faculty, staff) run as regular users. Of course, we're a
desktop school which makes it somewhat easier. Laptop schools have far
more complicated issues to think about when it comes to local admin
access to the PC. So, take a close look at your local admin decisions
and make sure they're necessary. You can get just about any application
to run as a normal user with the right file and registry permissions,
which are easily handled with group policy.

Other mitigating factors you can take:

- Switch your browser to Firefox. My bet is that your problem isn't
with viruses so much as it is with spyware. Firefox is far less prone
to spyware than IE.

- Look into a better AV package. If your current AV package doesn't
handle spyware that well, or is even poor at handling viruses, look at
your alternatives. We run Trend at Key and are generally happy with it.
It has good virus filtering and excellent spyware cleanup, but can be
memory hungry. I recently moved my church to NOD32 by ESET, which has
been working well. It has good spyware handling and some of the best AV
detection rates in the industry. It's also very lite on the client
(about 20MB of RAM).

- Move your users to normal "Users", but give them access to a local
"Administrator" account they can use to install devices or software.
This does introduce problems with running software as a normal user, but
with proper planning these can generally be overcome.

- Use the free antispyware tools to "immunize" your PCs. SpywareBlaster
and Spybot S&D both can load block lists into hosts, IE restricted
sites, and ActiveX KillBit registry keys. These can make a big
difference and, unlike Adware, are truly free for schools.

- Consider segregating your student's computers on to a different VLAN,
and used a policy-based router to allow them access only to the
servers/equipment they NEED to have. Alternatively, if you're a Cisco
shop, you may want to look into NAP.

the potential if they get infected with the right virus/malware we will

Re: Frequency of advisor group meetings

Brenda,

Our middle school advisors do the following with a 6 day cycle and 3
90-minute blocks daily:

6-7-8:
Daily 10 minute check-in from 8:00-8:10
Morning rotations - 30 minute advisory + 20 minutes break/recess 3x
per cycle
30 minute assembly 1x per cycle + 20 minutes break/recess
30 minute class meeting 1x per cycle + 20 minutes break/recess
50 minute "activity"/minicourse 1x per cycle
15 minutes before and after school student supervision
During all of these times are considered "duty" times - all advisors
on board.

In addition, 6th grade advisors have daily workstudy with advisees
for 30 minutes.
Advisors in grades 7-8 have 2-3 workstudies weekly, but not
necessarily with their own advisees. They are also available during
workstudies to meet with their students and/or advisees.

Most F/T teachers teach 4 sections with 2 preps.
Team leaders teach 3 sections but make up for teaching one less
section by doing a significant portion of administrative work/
planning for their teams.

About once monthly, we have "special schedule days" where grade-level
teams plan fieldtrips, community service activities, and other
similar programming. These are solid student-contact days.

Advisors are the first line of contact for parents with concerns or
questions and facilitate student-teacher communications. They lead a
conference a the start of the year and co-host advisee conferences
with advisees and parents.

Re: Frequency of advisor group meetings

John,

We have seven 45 minute periods each day (no transition times) in
addition to an hour lunch/recess block and the 30 minute advisory which
includes morning break and snack. We moved to the 30 minute advisory
from 20 minutes that we had last year as we also moved to a 7 day class
cycle.

I'm sure it would take a massive exchange of info to discover how we
differ in minutes per course per year, but I hope this little bit of
explanation helps in some way.

Hi,
I work in a middle school (grades 5-8). Our 5th and 6th graders
have a traditional homeroom structure and we have advisory in grades 7 &
8. Everyone meets for 10 minutes each morning and grades 5 & 6 have a
daily afternoon homeroom period (15 minutes). Our advisors and homeroom
teachers conduct conferences with parents twice each year and are the
main point of contact.
We have an advisory period every Monday for 45 minutes. We are
using the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens this year in advisory but
have also used the Middle School Treasury (available through the
National Middle School association). I was wondering what schools 'give
up' when they have longer periods for advisory each day? Our schedule is
very packed with classes and I couldn't find extra time for advisory
without cutting another class.=20

Re: Frequency of advisor group meetings

I certainly read this post too quickly this morning. I was a bit too invigorated by the holiday break! I still recommend doodle.ch for advisory/parent meetings, but my post was off topic.

As far as advisory meetings, our Upper School meets in advisory every other week for 30 minutes. Advisors are also encouraged to meet individually with advisees on a regular basis.

Hope this helps,

Hi Everyone-

I hope that you had a good Thanksgiving!

We have been charged as a committee with revising our current system

We are looking for schools who have competed this same process within
the last year or two using materials from Charlotte Danielson, ISM,

We would like to know your process in formulating your plan.

If you have any products from your work that you would be willing to
share, we would love to see them.

Thanks in advance,

We are using Keynote for images with some text slides to describe images. Friends decided to forego any announcements, etc and only uses it for pictures of activities, events, art work etc. It has made it simple to use, and I think it has been a wise

Re: Displays in School Foyers

This may be much simpler than what you are after, but it is working
nicely for our two school situation. The only expense involved is for
the displays, the computers behind or beneath them, and for the
software, in our case, iWork '08.

Our Middle and Upper school lobby display shows events from our
calendar of interest to students and parents (it does not display
faculty information such as department meetings). We have an
alternating Week 1 and Week 2 schedule, so in the US/MS school lobby,
that designation is made manifest. There is a slide for each day
which can be made to scroll nicely when a day has many events. It was
easy to modify a spare and elegant Keynote template to reflect our
Web site design. Powerpoint could probably be made to do something
reasonably similar.

Everything from the Used Skate Sale to college recruiter visits and
the lunch menu is on the MS/US Lobby display. In between the daily
slides, we add recent photos from around school or highlight upcoming
events. As a day goes by, we hide its slide using Apple Remote
Desktop, though I understand this may be done directly without ARD
under Panther. The LS display is a more general weekly display as
they have fewer daily events. We share overlapping moments between
the two displays where appropriate.

The whole thing takes about one hour per week but that work overlaps
with work already being done for the parent and student sections of
our Web site.

Small Schools' Schedules

Folks,

I am hoping to hear from smaller K-12 schools (under 400 students) who have
been able to create a rotating academic schedule. We currently have a more
static schedule. Thanks.

Re: Frequency of advisor group meetings

Our advisory groups (4-7 students) meet every day for 10 minutes to get dai=
ly announcements and "check in" with the advisor, and we set aside two 45-m=
inute meeting periods (already in the schedule) for advisor-advisee individ=
ual conferences in weeks when students get progress reports and report card=
s (twice a quarter). Preregistering for the next year's or next semester's=
classes is also done during these individual meeting times.

At St. John's, our US Advisory meets every morning for 8 minutes or so

Chris, we use an expensive, but decent product by Aavelin
(http://tinyurl.com/2rfwfa). There is a video server behind each plasma
screen and using a PC and the Aavelin software you can set up what you
want to appear on the screen; the software connects to the video server
over the network (and can be accessed remotely if needed). It basically
works like Powerpoint but has options for news and weather feeds and
video depending on which product you buy.

We like it because we don't need a lot of support to run it. You can
certainly do it for cheaper stringing together different things from
Powerpoint to Filemaker Slideshows to Keynote, etc.

Hi!

Our middle school advisory groups meet three times a week, for 15, 25,
and 30 minutes. We believe pretty strongly in the importance of a broad
advisory program for young adolescents.

Our upper school advisory groups meet once every three weeks, for 35
minutes, primarily to review grades and comments (whether interim and
internal, or formal and shared with parents).

Take care,

Re: Frequency of advisor group meetings

Our fifth grade team meets each week for one full period (40 minutes) to
discuss students and other issues. It is an opportunity to make sure
that all of us are aware of potential problems. It is also an
opportunity to make sure that no child "falls between the cracks."

Hi, Brenda (et al),

Our middle school advisory groups meet four times a week for 20
minutes/session. Additionally, advisors also proctor their own advisees in
daily study hall. Each student's advisor is also one of their core subject

traditional network at all. :-) We just signed=20
contracts with Veracross for our student=20
information system and Finalsite for our website,=20
both of which are hosted off campus. Our Moodle=20
installation is hosted off campus as well. I'd=20

had the bandwidth but 4MB isn't quite enough to=20
make me do that yet. We also use a service for=20
our authoritative DNS and backup MX, and a different one for antispam.

I'm also not ready to try to convince people to=20
move our financial system to a hosted solution=20
like Veracross, but I'll look at that next year.=20
All of this movement frees up my staff to focus=20
on the things that we absolutely must do on=20

students. It may seem a little pricier, but I'm a=20
