CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Congress in the Classroom® 2005
DEADLINE: March 15, 2005
Congress in the Classroom® is a national, award-winning
education program now in its 13th year. Sponsored by The
Dirksen Congressional Center, the workshop is dedicated to
the exchange of ideas and information on teaching about
Congress.
Congress in the Classroom® is designed for high school
teachers who teach U.S. history, government, civics,
political science, or social studies. Forty teachers from
throughout the country will be selected in 2005 to take
part in the program.
You will gain experience with The Center's educational Web
site, CongressLink - [link removed].
Throughout the program you will work with national experts
as well as colleagues from across the nation. This
combination of firsthand knowledge and peer-to-peer
interaction will give you new ideas, materials, and a
professionally enriching experience.
In sum, the workshop consists of two types of sessions:
those that focus on recent research and scholarship about
Congress (and don't always have an immediate application in
the classroom) and those geared to specific ways to teach
students about Congress.
The 2005 program theme will be "Our New Congress -- the
109th." Confirmed session titles are:
* A View from Capitol Hill
* The Importance of Teaching Democracy Appreciation
* George W. Bush's Second Term: What's in Store for
Congress?
* Congress Has a Humorous Side
* How Congress Members Decide (Hint: It Looks Like a Game of
Billiards)
* Teaching Congress Through Visuals
* The Struggle to Reform Congress and Its Consequences
* The Civil Rights Act of 1964: Using Document Analysis to
Tell the Story
* How to Get Your Point Across to Congress Members
* The Dirksen Center Web Suite as a Resource for Teachers
* Congressional Insight: A Computer Simulation of a Member's
First Term in the House of Representatives, and more.
The workshop will take place from Monday, July 25 through
July 28, 2005, at the Radisson Hotel in Peoria, Illinois.
Teachers who are selected for the program will be
responsible for (1) a non-refundable $135 registration fee
(required to confirm acceptance after notice of
selection) and (2) transportation to and from Peoria,
Illinois. Many school districts will pay all or a portion
of these costs.
The Center pays for three nights lodging at the
headquarters hotel (providing a single room for each
participant), workshop materials, local transportation, all
but three meals, and presenter honoraria and expenses. The
Center spends between $25,000 and $30,000 to host the
program each year
Those teachers who are not selected for the program will
have an opportunity to register for the Web-based Congress
in the Classroom course.
The deadline for applications is March 15, 2005. Enrollment
is competitive and limited to forty. Selection will be
determined by The Center. Individuals will be notified of
their acceptance status by April 1, 2005.

Is there anyone in Hawaii who is using guided reading with
leveled readers as the main curriculum for reading?

I am wondering what the average salaries for a Masters
Degreed teacher with 12 yrs of experience is for Hawaiian
public and private school. I would appreciate any
specifics as the public websites are so vague.

I will be visiting Honolulu for the first time April 29 and
May 2. I would love to visit a classroom and participate in
the celebration of Lei Day. Does anyone have a class I
could visit? I am a college professor who works with
classroom teachers and professional development schools
from Indiana.
