About 50 years ago the NJ Redman Association dedicated a totem pole to the Lenni Lenape Indians and gifted it to a New Jersey library.
We thought the library might be in either Sussex or Monroe County. But, we called both libraries in Monroe and they said no way.
Does anyone have an idea where this library might be?
My grandmother has caught quite the bee in the bonnet trying to find this info. Her father was part Lenni Lenape Indian and she would really like to see the totem pole.
Any info or nudges in the right direction (or any direction for that matter) would be greatly appreciated.
Applications are being received in the Personnel Office from any of our personnel desiring to be considered for the position(s) listed below:
Mathematics Teacher – Fords Middle School
All letters of application, or applicable application form, must be in the Personnel Office, School Street, Woodbridge, New Jersey, 07095, not later than September 13, 2010.
Portfolios have never been used in the school before and the classes are large and filled with students who are low performers and don't mind being low performers. It's a low income district so I will not be able to tell each student to get their own supplies.
Am I wasting my time? All the research I can find points to higher income districts, middle school levels and mostly art and English. I haven't found anything at all related to High School Math portfolios in the more challenging environments.

I have just published my first children's book, and using my talents as a Reading Specialist have developed interdisciplinary activities, as well as before, during, and after reading activities for the classroom. There are vocabulary activities and opportunities for your students to write to me about the book and its characters. I am glad to respond to those letters at your request. A physical disability permits me from teaching in the classroom anymore, so I am reaching out to students this way. The main goal of this book is also the part of my job I miss the most: instilling a love of reading and learning in each student. I can visit your classroom by Skype, if you wish, and our website is about to go online. There, you will be able to access the acitivities I spoke of earlier. The obok is called Harley Hits a Homer, and I am so pleased with the positive way it is being received in the classrooms where it is being used. I'd love to hear from you if you think we could work together on this project. I'd love to hear from your classes and to interact with them. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Let's keep them reading, Tena

Do you think the ...See MoreI've got 3 years in. I am 46. Not relying totally on teacher's pension, but am wondering if it makes sense to continue teaching or if I should cut my losses and try to make money in corporate.
And yes, I am a dedicated teacher, I'm not in it just for the $$$, (as if)...but am trying to be financially responsible.
The program, which was initiated by The Society in the spring of 2010, offers funds to elementary and secondary school teachers to develop innovative curricula, projects and other classroom activities about Turkey. The Society’s first Curriculum Development Grant was awarded to Harry A. Dawe, former Headmaster of Robert College in Istanbul and current history teacher and college counselor at the Fieldston Upper School in Bronx, New York. Mr. Dawe received support for History 181: East Meets West, for which he developed course material and two chapters of a history text book for use with eleventh and twelfth graders.
Grants vary between $250 and $2,500, and cover the costs of research, materials, speakers, and other expenses incurred by the school or the teacher. The amount of each grant is determined by the project’s scope, the availability of total funds, and the number of projects selected through a competitive process. The American Turkish Society encourages all applicants to identify additional sources of funding where possible. Once selected, grantees will be free to develop their proposed projects without editorial input from The Society. They will, however, participate in follow-up activities for evaluation purposes and will be asked to share any teaching plans, materials and activities with The American Turkish Society for future dissemination.
Application Process Spring Semester, 2011
Application deadline: November 1 Notification: December 1
Please submit proposals including:
1. A 2-page summary of the proposed project detailing the tools, materials, and methods to be used; the objectives and anticipated impact; and the teacher's relevant qualifications; 2. A project budget, including a detailed breakdown of costs and the grant amount requested; 3. The teacher’s CV; and 4. A letter of support from the teacher’s school.
Interested parties should send proposals to The American Turkish Society at [email removed].
