Greetings
I would like to cordially invite you to attend a half-day
conference at the Washington College of Law at American
University on Wednesday, April 16. Our conference,
titled, "Preparing to Succeed: Reconsidering the Vision
of Equal Educational Opportunity in D.C. Public Schools",
will bring city officials, school administrators and
leaders, principals, teachers, students, parents, and
education advocates together to discuss educational
opportunity within D.C. public high schools. Our keynote
speaker will be Congressman Chaka Fattah.
Through panel discussions and a roundtable forum,
conference participants will work together to identify
problems and resources, form partnerships, and then
develop strategies and innovative solutions based on a K-
16 model to ensure that all of our students are receiving
the best opportunity to succeed.
Attached you will find a brief statement about our project
and an agenda for the event. You will also be receiving a
registration form in the mail. However, if you RSVP to
this invitation as well, we will place you on our special
guest list and registration will be complimentary. The
event begins at 8:30 a.m. and will wrap up around 1:45
p.m. We recognize that many of you may be unable to
attend due to DCPS spring break or other obligations.
Staff are therefore welcome and encouraged to attend!
If you have any questions or to RSVP, please feel free to
contact Eric Lerum at [email removed]!
Best Wishes

There is also an exciting new book release, "The Late
Talker: What to Do If
Your Child Isn't Talking Yet" by Agin, Geng and Nicholl.
Publisher's Weekly
describes it as an "Expert guide to understanding speech
delays and
problems....A careful, thorough and realistic book, this
will be a great
resource for any parent dealing with these issues."
"Oral language-the ability to communicate needs, feelings
and opinions via verbal speech-is the coin-of-the-realm in
today's society. One must be able to interact verbally with
others and an inability to do so, can greatly hamper a
child's development and independence.
For most children, oral language develops quite naturally.
As the child's vocabulary and syntax emerges, he becomes
better able to communicate with others and gains control of
his environment. A child's failure to develop normal verbal
language can create great angst for his parents and
caregivers.
When a parent has concerns about the child's language
development, she often turns to family members or neighbors
for 'expert' advice. The counsel that is provided generally
ranges from unwarranted panic to laissez-faire advice that
the child 'will grow out of it.' Neither of these reactions
is particularly helpful or effective.
However, The Late Talker by Agin, Geng and Nicholl provides
useful, field tested advice for parents who are concerned
about their child's language development. This gem of a
book provides an immensely readable overview of normal
language development and a thorough review of the cause of
language delays and disabilities. The material offers
comfort and counsel for the anxious parents.
The great strength of The Late Talker is its
transdisciplinary approach to the topic. Dr. Agin offers a
thoughtful medical perspective on the problem and
translates the related research into understandable and
useful terms. Co-author Lisa Geng provides an invaluable
parental perspective on the issue by discussing the
emotional reactions of the family to the child with delayed
speech.
The Late Talker provides an unparalleled overview of a
problem faced by families throughout America . But beyond
merely defining the problems, the book offers practical
advice and strategies that the reader can put into
action . . . today. This book belongs in every
pediatrician's office and in the bookshelf of every early
childhood center in the country."

Dear Educators,
Greetings from Costa Rica. I would like to announce a
course for teachers for this coming summer in Costa Rica.
Proyecto Campanario, the Institute for Central American
Studies, and Lewis and Clark College have teamed up to offer
an intense "Habitats and Culture of Costa Rica" course for
academic or professional development credit for teachers.
The hands-on course is an environmental overview of present
day Costa Rica that emphasizes the natural history of its
diverse landscapes as well as the language and customs of
the people. Teachers will journey across Costa Rica’s
extraordinary geography: from coral lagoon to once-glaciated
peaks of volcanic rock, experiencing cloud forests, lowland
rainforests, and mangrove swamps. This is a rather intense
"field trip".
You may read more about the course on our web site and/or
write to us for a complete course descriptions and
registration form.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Nancy Aitken
Director
Proyecto Campanario

Here is some help!
We suggest going over the questions several times. You
should do this a number of times until you feel comfortable
with all questions.
Time is the single most common fault that all test takers
have trouble with. If you are familar with these study
questions and know them well you will save time without
knowing it.
Make sure you pace yourself during the test. Keep track of
how much time you have used not how much is left.
Usually two choices can be eliminated from each question.
If you can not eliminate any answers skip this question and
come back to it.
When required to read a passage such as in the lab
questions you should scan/skim the passage to get a vague
impression then read the questions. You will be surprised
at how some answers come to you very quickly.
Do not guess. Eliminate 1-2 choices then "pick" out the
best choice. You should be willing to bet money on this
choice.
Scientific sounding answers are better than slang sounding
answers.
Avoid extreme statements such as answers with these key
words
always...never...completely...
If the answers contain two answers that are opposite from
each other then one of these is usually correct.
These are some sample TIPS and you can get the rest of the
TIPS from
