I teach middle school science at The Seven Hills School in Cincinnati, Ohio. I will be visiting Fairbanks in June with professors from 3 Cincinnati universities. We are looking to form a partnership with a middle school science teacher/class in Fairbanks for a project we've been working on in Ohio. Overarching goals of the project are:
* reintegrating the sciences in science education * empowering students to function as scientists,conributing meaningful data to the community through new technologies * reconnecting children to the natural world in a way that allows them to recognize and value biodiversity * helping children develop a sense of place - both global and local * providing opportunities for authentic collaboration with global partners * incorporating digital technologies to take students into the field
The project is heavily inquiry based and, though the focus of the project is birds, we have incorporated it into our 6th grade Life Science course this year, will be incorporating it into the 7th grade Earth science course in '10-11, and into 8th grade Physical Science in '11-'12. If interested, please contact me directly for more information.

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Enclosed with this letter please find the contest guidelines and information on how students can send in their entries. Submissions for this contest are due by Monday, April 12, 2010.
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,

The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is a non-partisan movement working to ensure that our courts protect and preserve equal justice, fairness, and opportunity. We achieve these goals through raising awareness, outreach, and building alliances. Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.

I am looking for a classroom to Skype with my students to read a book. We kicked off Skype Across America on March 2nd which is Read Across America Day. We are trying to get one class from all 50 states to read to us. If you are interested and you haven't used Skype before it is very easy.
Thank You~ OK 1st Grade
Are active and retired teachers from Alaska concerned the WEP/GPO will REDUCE their earned Social Security distributions because they were public servants? Go to http://WWW.SSFAIRNESS.COM and join the efforts of a grassroots organization trying to overturn these unfair offsets.
