"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 Ricas 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

RE: Continuing Education Opportunity this summer!
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England's
TEACHER TRAINING INSTITUTE: Current Resources for Sexuality
Education
June 23-25, 2003 - Plymouth, New Hampshire
What's New in Sexuality Education? How can you modify your
sexuality
education curriculum to include the latest information and
resources?
PPNNE's Teacher Training Institute gives you the unique
chance to get the
individualized assistance you need to design or revise your
school's
sexuality education curriculum. Each participant will
choose which topics
they want to focus on - from talking about birth control
with eighth graders
to teaching puberty education to fourth graders. Special
consideration will
be given to state standards for Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont regarding
the sexuality components of a comprehensive health
education curriculum.
Don't miss this chance to network with your colleagues
while you work on
your lesson plans and/or curriculum for next year!
Participants will:
* Acquire up-to-date information and resources
regarding sexuality
education.
* Learn new activities to use in the classroom to
help teach about
sexuality.
* Work on a self-designed set of sexuality education
lesson plans for
use in the classroom, school and/or district next year.
Special Evening Film Festival
On Tuesday night, participants will have the opportunity to
preview the
latest films on topics such as sexual violence prevention;
teen pregnancy
prevention; birth control and STIs; and sexual orientation.
Who Should Attend
This training is geared toward K-12 teachers, health
educators, school
counselors, school nurses, and anyone who teaches sexuality
education. It is
also appropriate for curriculum coordinators. Teams from
school districts
are encouraged to come to develop or revise their
comprehensive curriculum.
Fee: $375 for the three-day workshop. This fee includes
all workshop
materials, seminar instruction, continental breakfast,
coffee breaks, and
lunch for the three days. Dinner and lodging are not
included.
For questions, or to register:

Hello Everyone-
My name is Angela Quintal and I am a volunteer working with
the Maine Audubon Society on the Wetland Connections
website which focuses on studying the science and ecology
of wetlands by Maine students. We are currently looking to
recruit as many interested teachers as we can to join our
Very Important Pools (V.I.P.) program which involves
locating, identifying, documenting, and monitoring vernal
pool habitats and vernal pool indicator species throughout
the year and educating people about the ecological values
of vernal pools.
Our website is currently under construction and does have a
lot of background information about wetlands on it, but my
job is to develop a thorough list of curricula and
resources for teachers of every grade to use in educating
their students. We are interested in your ideas about what
you feel would be useful information to have in this
section; the more input we receive from you, the better!
Please e-mail me if you would like to get involved, or
forward this message on to any other educators you feel
would be interested! If you have any questions or would
like to join our program feel free to e-mail me at:
angela.[email removed]]
Thank you!!!
Angela

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

If you don't mind, would you tell me how you went about
getting a job offer in Maine while residing outside of it? I
am moving there from CA at the end of August and would like
some advice. Much appreciated.--Ruthy
