Socially-Responsible Teaching with Janet Wong

Friday, April 16 4:30-6pm - EWU Riverpoint, Phase 1 Building, room 115 – Free

Janet Wong will lead a workshop for K-12 teachers seeking to infuse lessons of social responsibility into the priceless educational tool of reading aloud. While being the most important practice in encouraging a child’s success in literacy, reading aloud also provides an opportunity for teachers to help children grow into compassionate, ethical citizens. Wong will also address the benefits of incorporating poetry into your classroom everyday. Janet Wong is the author of You Have to Write, a book engaging kids to writing, and Before it Wiggles Away, an autobiographical look at the writing process geared towards teachers.

Kids’ Poetry Workshop with Janet Wong

Saturday, April 17 9:30-10:30am - Kress Gallery - Free

In this session, young writers will learn about rhyme, repetition, and rhythm, and will write about a childhood memory. Wong will read from her new book, Me and Rolly Maloo, to inspire writers to remember situations from their own lives. Writers often are frustrated by searching for exciting writing topics, but Wong believes that the best writing comes from our everyday experiences.

Changes in West-E Teacher Certification

2009-06-18T11:21:00.000-07:00

September 2009 changes will occur in Washington State Teacher Certification Preparation and Testing - this information and more in handout

OSPI (Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction) teacher assessment explanation

http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/teacher/teachertesting.asp

The National teacher certification test is called Praxis

Praxis I allows entrance to a teacher education program
Praxis II allows grade level and subject specialty certificates that allow a student to be hired
All of our study guides, cds and online testing are based on the old Praxis even if they say West-E
Our material is useful until August 2009

The specific Washington State certification test is called West -B (enter teacher education program) and West-E ( grade level and subject endorsements)- while the old West-B and West-E overlapped with Praxis, the new West-B and West-E does not.

Official Washington State Board site

http://www.pesb.wa.gov/Assessment/WEST-E/WEST-E.asp
The new tests are based on Washington State teacher competencies

Additional education statistics web sites:

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) collects, screens, and identifies studies of effectiveness of educational interventions (programs, products, practices, and policies).The WWC regularly updates the WWC Technical Standards and their application to take account of new considerations brought forth by experts and users. Such changes may result in re-appraisals of studies and/or interventions previously reviewed and rated. The current WWC Standards offer guidance for those planning or carrying out studies, not only in the design considerations but the analysis and reporting stages as well. The WWC Standards, however, may not pertain to every situation, context, or purpose of a study and will evolve.
