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.

Environmental Education at Campanario Eco Lodge and
Biological Reserve
Environmental education for students of all ages !! !!
Proyecto Campanario's second mission is to promote
environmental education to all who spend time at
Campanario, both local and international visitors.
Campanario offers 4 basic programs to accommodate different
age levels, interests, and different lengths of stay.
Please select the program best suited for you:
Ecological Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family
group. Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or
middle and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student
Courses for university, high school, and middle school
students. Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs.
"Give the gift of a nature trek to your family." Ecological
Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family group.
Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or middle
and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student Courses
for university, high school, and middle school students.
Tropical Ecology Teachers? Programs.
"Get away for retreats and your own personal adventure."
Enviromentally minded individuals, families, groups of
friends, and corporate executives who want to plan their
vacations, annual get-togethers and retreats are welcome at
Campanario. You can spend your days hiking with our
naturalists, or you might also choose to go fishing,
kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling. Be sure to plan time
for just relaxing on the beach or in a hammock. Our goal is
to have you absorb as many of the sights, sounds, and
smells of the rainforest as possible. A minimum of a 4-day,
3-night trip is necessary, but a 6-day, 5-night trip is
recommended to more fully absorb the wonders of the area.
"Become involved in environmental education." Conservation
Camps are special programs we've designed for families and
middle and high school students. The camps are usually
scheduled during school vacations and last 6 days and 5
nights. They are limited in size to ensure adequate
instruction and supervision. Students of all ages
participate in extensive hikes and workshops in the
rainforest to appreciate all its wealth. Evening sessions
look into the history of the area and discuss deforestation
and other social pressures affecting the tropics.
Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs are designed to give
hands-on experience to the active instructor who wants
personal knowledge of the tropics to complement the area
which he or she teaches. This rigorous program, which runs
two weeks, includes most course materials, requires a small
amount of pre-program reading, and assumes a basic
understanding of biology on the part of the participant.
The program spends one week on site at the Proyecto
Campanario facilities in the rainforest and another week
traveling to different areas of Costa Rica for experience
in other life zones. It is hoped that you, as a teacher,
will take back to your students the understanding of the
urgency to work together to conserve what is left of the
tropical eco-systems.
Course Format
Two course formats are offered: a two week course and a 3
week course. Credit is offered at two levels (see below):
(1) Professional Development and (2) Degree Applicable.
Academic credit is given through Lewis and Clark College in
Oregon.
New Schedule 2005 offer in June, July and August, Programs
for Teachers Professional Development: Habitats and Culture
of Costa Rica and Rainforest Conservation Camp.

Devereux is working on a research project that will
directly impact the lives of many children around the
country - we could really use your help!
We are asking parents and teachers of children in grades K-
8 to complete a short survey on positive behaviors
exhibited by their child or student. The survey takes about
10 minutes to complete. In addition to helping contribute
to this valuable research, Devereux is offering to donate
$2.50 for each completed form to your choice of: the
child's school, a Devereux treatment center, or to be
reinvested into our research efforts.
You can help by doing any and all of the following things:
1. If you are a parent of a child/children currently in
grades K-8, you
can complete a survey online... use the link below.
2. If you are a teacher of grades K-8, you can fill out a
form on 4
children in your class and/or you and we can talk about
putting together
a fundraiser for your school by getting other teachers to
participate as
well... use the link below.
3. You can forward this message along to your friends,
family, and
coworkers who are teachers or parents themselves, or who
may be able to forward this message to parents and teachers
all around the country.
4. If you have any connections to schools in your area, you
can pass
this along to them and send me their contact information so
that we can talk about putting together a fundraiser for
that school by getting
teachers and parents to participate. (The fundraisers can
be for other
groups, too... such as scouts, teams, band, PTA, the
possibilities are
endless!)
To fill out a form (or up to 4 if you're able), you can
either ask my
research team to mail you paper versions of the survey OR
you can simply fill it out electronically at:

Please direct any requests or questions to Marisa at

Thank you again so much for your contribution to this
important
cause!!

Hi Minnesota,
I thought some of you might be interested in my novel
entitled "Soul of the South" which is being tentatively
released for the winter of 2005. It is filled with action,
romance, and intrigue, as my protagonist serves the South
as a spy in Washington, as a diplomat in England and
France, and as an officer in the Army of Northern
Virginia. My protagonist is also adamantly against
slavery, as he makes known to President Lincoln and
Confederate President Davis. And, of course, there is much
romance in my novel, as my protagonist William Lytham
meets a beautiful woman Melanie Wenning from Virginia set
against the backdrop of a beautiful woman he meets in
France as a Southern diplomat. Without giving away too
many details, William marries one of them amidst much
acclamation with a surprise individual as the best man.
You are more than welcome to read a chapter excerpt and
purchase the novel on my web site at [link removed].
Sincerely,
Mike Witham

Casie,
I know you posted this awhile back. Usually if you gain
admissions to a school for fall, they do a summer
orientation in which you register at the school. Most
schools require you to attend an orientation session prior
school starting. So you should do your registering then.
