As part of our continued efforts to reach more individuals with sexual health information, we have expanded our geographic reach and will be offering two RIDE approved trainings in Rhode Island.
October 28th, 2010 - Sexual Health Information from A to Z @ Woonsocket public library $55 for one,or $100 for both. Nuva Ring? Patch? Fem Cap? Implanon? The array of available contraceptive methods grows each year. Can teens use Implanon? Do women really need to have their period monthly? Whether you are new to teaching sexual health education or an experienced educator, this training has important timely information. One in three American teen girls has a sexually transmitted infection. STI’s can result in significant medical complications. Despite significant advances in treatment, HIV still remains deadly. Herpes still has no cure, and the human papillomavirus (HPV) can be a precursor to cervical cancer. Untreated cases of gonorrhea and chlamydia may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, or even infertility. Even syphilis is on the rise and can still prove deadly if undiagnosed and untreated. Yet too many sexually active young people remain oblivious to the risks they take when engaging in unprotected sex. As youth serving professionals, being aware of the facts and risks, and finding effective ways to communicate that knowledge to the young people we serve will help minimize their risk.
November 19th, 2010 - The Crisis of Teen Pregnancy: Using Evidence Based Approaches to Reduce Teen Pregnancy @ Woonsocket public library $100.00 Becoming a teen parent significantly reduces future prospects for teenagers; less than one-third of teens who parent before the age 18 ever earn a high school diploma. Reducing the rate of teen pregnancy is one of the most strategic and direct means available to improve adolescent health and maximize healthy and productive futures An up-to-the minute update on teen pregnancy and birth rates will be provided, along with the latest strategies and interventions to help teens delay intercourse and consistently practice safer sex if they choose to be sexually active

The American Turkish Society's Education Program is pleased to announce the availability of Curriculum Development Grants for 2011.
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].

NIAGARA UNIVERSITY, N.Y. (Feb, 2011) – Niagara University is now accepting applications from K-12 teachers nationwide for a summer program entitled Crossroads of Empire: Cultural Contact and Imperial Rivalry at Old Fort Niagara. The week-long residential sessions, which take place July 11-15 and July 18-22, 2011 at Old Fort Niagara and Niagara University, have been made possible by funding obtained from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Directed by Thomas A. Chambers, Ph.D., chair of Niagara University’s history department, the workshops are focused on the vital history that emanated from Old Fort Niagara, one of most significant and well-preserved 18th century historic sites in North America. Fort Niagara served as an important crossroads between the empires of Great Britain, France, the Haudenosaunee (the native people who inhabited what is now much of New York state and surrounding areas), and, later, the United States as they battled each other for control of the North American continent. The Fort threatened American territory during the Revolution, was occupied by both sides during the War of 1812, and then a peace treaty secured the Fort and region for the United States.
This workshop will immerse NEH Summer Scholars in the world of 18th century life, from both the Native American and European perspective. Participants will interact with historic interpreters, clamber about ramparts dating to the 1700s, handle beaver pelts and trade goods like fishhooks and beads, and perhaps even fire a musket. One unique feature will be an overnight stay at the French Castle, the three-story stone fortress and trading post perched above the crashing waves of Lake Ontario that dates back to 1726. By week’s end NEH Summer Scholars will understand the perspective of the Iroquois people who first inhabited this region, as well as the struggles of ordinary European soldiers who bled and died to control Fort Niagara.
Teachers of grades K-12 at schools in the United States or its territorial possessions, or Americans teaching in foreign schools where at least 50 percent of the students are American nationals, are eligible for this program.
Teachers selected to participate as NEH Summer Scholars will receive a stipend of $1,200 at the end of the residential workshop session. Stipends are intended to help cover travel expenses to and from the project location, books, and ordinary living expenses.
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2011.
For eligibility and application information, please call 716.286.8091, e-mail [email removed].
Niagara University is located 11 miles south of Old Fort Niagara.

We invite you to join us for our one-week workshops in June 2011. As NEH Summer Scholars at the “American History through the Eyes of a California Family” workshop, you will use the artifacts and archival sources of both the Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum and CSU Dominguez Hills Special Collections to trace the Dominguez family history for over two centuries. Their history and lands are entwined with California 's rich Indian, Spanish, Mexican and American history.
NEH workshops feature well known scholars, hands-on work with artifacts and archival documents, workshops and experiential learning opportunities that will bring history to life, and field trips to deepen historical and cultural connections. Workshops address the Dominguez family business and inheritance strategies and their relationship to natives and migrants from varied social and cultural backgrounds. Successful applicants whose title will become NEH Summer Scholars will also analyze how territorial industrial expansion transformed the American people and how massive immigration after 1870, including the Chinese, some of whom became laborers on Dominguez lands, formed new social patterns and concepts about national identity.
$1200 stipends are offered to help cover travel, lodging, and meal expenses.
Workshops will be offered twice and applicants may apply to one, but not both, workshops. The first is the week of June 13-17, 2011 and the second is the week of June 20-24, 2011. Continuing Education Units offered. Applications due March 1st.

They'll want to rehire only the cheapest teachers to "balance the budget.
No rehires of all you Senior "not-really-teaching" high paid professionals.
Once you've been fired your contract is over, don't wait around, leave right away!
Good Luck
