Dear Educators,
I am sure that adding an AFS student to your schools would assist your students with learning a new culture and language. Naturally, encouraging them to go on an AFS exchange is even better. Contact [link removed].

Workshops address the Dominguez family business and inheritance strategies and their relationship to natives and migrants from varied social and cultural backgrounds. Successful applicants whose title will become NEH Summer Scholars will also analyze how territorial industrial expansion transformed the American people and how massive immigration after 1870, including the Chinese, some of whom became laborers on Dominguez lands, formed new social patterns and concepts about national identity. $1200 stipends are offered to help cover expenses. Workshops will be offered twice and applicants may apply to one, but not both, workshops. The first is the week of June 13-17, 2011 and the second is the week of June 20-24, 2011. Applications due March 1st.

NIAGARA UNIVERSITY, N.Y. Feb, 2011) – Niagara University is now accepting applications from K-12 teachers nationwide for a summer program entitled Crossroads of Empire: Cultural Contact and Imperial Rivalry at Old Fort Niagara. The week-long residential sessions, which take place July 11-15 and July 18-22, 2011 at Old Fort Niagara and Niagara University, have been made possible by funding obtained from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Directed by Thomas A. Chambers, Ph.D., chair of Niagara University’s history department, the workshops are focused on the vital history that emanated from Old Fort Niagara, one of most significant and well-preserved 18th century historic sites in North America. Fort Niagara served as an important crossroads between the empires of Great Britain, France, the Haudenosaunee (the native people who inhabited what is now much of New York state and surrounding areas), and, later, the United States as they battled each other for control of the North American continent. The Fort threatened American territory during the Revolution, was occupied by both sides during the War of 1812, and then a peace treaty secured the Fort and region for the United States.
This workshop will immerse NEH Summer Scholars in the world of 18th century life, from both the Native American and European perspective. Participants will interact with historic interpreters, clamber about ramparts dating to the 1700s, handle beaver pelts and trade goods like fishhooks and beads, and perhaps even fire a musket. One unique feature will be an overnight stay at the French Castle, the three-story stone fortress and trading post perched above the crashing waves of Lake Ontario that dates back to 1726. By week’s end NEH Summer Scholars will understand the perspective of the Iroquois people who first inhabited this region, as well as the struggles of ordinary European soldiers who bled and died to control Fort Niagara.
Teachers of grades K-12 at schools in the United States or its territorial possessions, or Americans teaching in foreign schools where at least 50 percent of the students are American nationals, are eligible for this program.
Teachers selected to participate as NEH Summer Scholars will receive a stipend of $1,200 at the end of the residential workshop session. Stipends are intended to help cover travel expenses to and from the project location, books, and ordinary living expenses.
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2011.
For eligibility and application information, please call 716.286.8091, e-mail [email removed].
Niagara University is located 11 miles south of Old Fort Niagara.

The goal is for teens around the world to post and discuss poetry related to the teenage experience in the 21st century (their hopes, dreams, burdens, joys, etc.) I am calling it one billion b/c there are about 1 billion teens in the world, so I believe that that means there are potentially one billion teen poets. Below, I am copying the about us page.
It's not for profit, and all the teachers have to do is show the kids the site.
I am very excited as it's been only a few days and people from 14 countries and 27 states in The US have been on site. I already have members from South Africa, England, Hong Kong, and the Bahamas. I have posted on numerous education and librarian listservs. It's been great as kids I don't know from the Bronx are connecting with each other.
I hope you enjoy and that you let your students know and encourage them to join. Please share with your colleagues and teacher friends all over.
Thank you so much.
Best, Alex Trivas
Approximately one billion people in the world are teenagers. Therefore, there are approximately one billion teenage poets in the world, young adults who can inspire and shape the world through their writing. Teenagers are often labeled as disaffected, disgruntled, and disengaged. However, we see numerous teens around the around the world striving to effect positive change. And frankly, if you are feeling a bit disaffected, that's okay too. The world is complex and tough, and it can be doubly so for teens. One elixir for the disillusionment and frustrations we face is the potency of poetry. Focusing on the four following prompts: Where I'm From, What I Carry, Why I Laugh, and What I Wish, One Billion Poets invites all aspiring poets to connect with each other and to share and reflect on each other's poems. We hope you will all see that although we certainly come from very diverse backgrounds-- sometimes extraordinarily different-- we all share many of the same dreams, burdens, loves, hopes, and emotions. Whether you live in Tunisia or Detroit, Moscow or Mexico City, we believe you all have something salient and beautiful to say about the teenage experience in the 21st century.
by teaching, really?

Hello fellow Alabama Teachers,
I'm currently doing student teaching in Mobile, (pronounced "Moe-beel"), and, please don't laugh at this, but I don't know if I'm going to make the cut.

I'm currently doing student teaching in Mobile, (pronounced "Moe-beel"), and, please don't laugh at this, but I don't know if I'm going to make the cut. My cooperating teacher is very well organized, but none of the strategies I've learned at the ARI meetings or any of the techniques I've learned in college seem to be working for me as well as I think they should. I'm certainly not my coopeating teacher. For one, it seems like the students have trouble understanding me. I do tend to use big words, but they're Seniors; they should be getting ready for college. My CT also explained that they have difficulty reading, but most of the strategies I've learned involve reading and writing! In fact, those are the areas I'm passionate about. I could care less about the stories, except for their social commentary. I hate it when the students just stare at me blankly and do none of what I asked them to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?
