A Interview On Margret Miller

Laurie S. Miller was an assistant professor at Clarion University. She was also the advisor The Clarion Call and the Society of Collegiate Journalists. Also was the former adjunct professor at Point Park University, former instructor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and West Virginia University, Morgantown, W.Va. As if that was impressive enough the late Miller was a former reporter for the Tribune-Review in Greenburg and worked at The Daily Courier in Connellsville. Miller of 320 Evergreen Drive, Mt. Pleasant, Pa. was born July 10, 1958. She leaves behind her loving son Dylan S. Ramsier of Greensburg, Pa., her mother Margaret E. Miller of Dawson, her sister Janice L. Covert of Jacksonville, Fla., and her two bothers Robert M. Miller and Scott E. Miller of Connellsville, Pa., and

The article “Treasure the Second Amendment, but Ban Assault Rifles” discovered on Opposing Viewpoints was originally published at NewsMax.com, and authored by Judith Miller. The title suggests a forthcoming article in which the current interpretation of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is expressly valid, but will present an argument for the banning of Assault Rifles. However, this article provides no evidence or statistics to show how an assault weapon ban might have success, but instead, argues it's position by bemoaning apathetic past and current presidents, detailing several horrific tragedies seemingly attributed to the expiration of the previous ban, and singling out a specific assault weapon, but fails establish a legitimate argument against Assault Rifles.

According to CMS Superintendent Ann Clark regarding literacy as our North Star, it “is the most important skill we teach. Literacy is the foundation for academic success from pre-kindergarten through high school.” Literacy is key to achieving academic success and the responsibility of literacy encompasses every educator and discipline. Many media coordinators have been trained in Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and district adopted reading initiatives, such as Balanced Literacy and Reading Apprenticeship. However, most struggle with linking our programs with literacy initiatives. According to the 2015 Nation’s Report Card percentages of fourth graders and eighth graders reading on grade level continues to decline, especially among urban school districts (nationsreportcard.gov). “That is, when reading grade appropriate text these students cannot extract the general meaning or make obvious connections between the text and their own experiences or make simple inferences from the text. In other words, they cannot understand what they have read.” (National Assessment of Educational Progress). And, furthermore, principals are trading media coordinator positions at an alarming rate as evidenced by the more than 30 schools which no longer

In the early 1930’s, Mrs. Tillery was born on a small farm located in the rural area of the Alabama town of Troy. She is now in her early eighties and a resident of Noble Manor Troy, AL. Mrs. Tillery is the wife of the late Mr. Tillery and mother of one (son). She has led an eventful life while traveling with her husband during his career, being a mother, and perfecting her relationship with Christ. Our interview session was conducted on the topics of the social, political, and technological changes that she has undergrown within the many decades of her life.

Anger, grief, and shock filled the hearts of Americans due to the size, immense devastation and huge lose of life of the attack. Mara Miller explains in Remembering September 11, 2001, Citizens of the United States united to show support for one another as people lined up to donate blood, doctors and nurses prepared to treat those injured. Volunteers from all over the country came together to search and restore effects. Donations increased immensely towards relief organizations, especially the Red Cross. Signs and pictures were hung on walls and fences in support of those who were missing love ones, in hope that a miracle would occur, and those loved ones would return to their families safely. (Miller 51, 52).

The district beefed up the professional development for new teachers, especially those in the ARL program. Doing so has helped expand teachers capabilities which in turn increases their capacity in the school. In order for a school to be successful in reaching their mission,

The West Fargo Public School system is not only the fastest growing school district in the State of North Dakota, it is also one of the most innovative and creative. The district’s Mission is “Educating today’s learners for tomorrow’s world”. Teachers employed by the district take this Mission statement to heart and live it in their own lives. To them, education is a lifelong process, not just something everyone experiences between the ages of 5-17. Evidence of this can be seen in the fact that this past summer 20 elementary and secondary teachers began a 20 month educational journey by enrolling in West Fargo’s second Teacher Leadership Academy (TLA). The Academy is a collaborative effort between West Fargo Public Schools and North Dakota State University’s Educational Leadership Program. The 20 teachers began their journey this summer and will be meeting during the school year every-other Wednesday after school. At the end of five semesters they will be awarded the Masters of Education (M. Ed.) degree. Some of the unique features of the Teacher Leadership Academy are: a) rather than traveling to campus for their coursework, Academy students are taught at the district’s Leidal Education Center, b) classes are facilitated by not only university professors, but the district’s two assistant superintendents [Dr. Allen Burgad and Mrs. Beth Slette], and c) course assignments are focused around the district’s initiatives and strategic plan.

Becoming a PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovator would provide me with valuable opportunities to connect with other educators around the globe. Our connections could change entire classrooms, address learning barriers, and create a world of infinite possibilities for our kids!

The Framework for Teaching by Charlotte Danielson has been developed through research as a guideline for current and future teacher’s professional responsibilities in and out of the classroom. Districts throughout the country are using this framework to assess and guide their teachers to build successful methods of planning and preparations, setting up the classroom environment, instruction and professional responsibilities. Each of these domains builds off of each other to form a successful learning environment. Domain 3 focuses more specifically on instruction using communication, discussions, engagement, assessments and flexibility.

In any career it is important to continue to advance your skills and knowledge even after you’ve already got the job. Professional development comes in many forms, including video training modules. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) uploaded their professional development modules onto www.youtube.com. These videos serve to demonstrate poor ethical choices in a fun way to Texas teachers, current and aspiring. These video training modules often referred to as “podcasts” have many advantages over other types of professional development. Because they are online, they are easily accessible from nearly anywhere; podcasts can be viewed on smart phones, tablets, and laptops of course. Any device with access to the internet can be used to watch

I have always admired my Grandfather, Harold Miller who, for as long as I can remember has taught me the meaning of environmental sustainability. He played an active role in establishing the electric vehicle car program across North Carolina. His goal of educating students and improving the environment was fulfilled by establishing an electric vehicle program in high school. He did so because he believed that the younger generation needed to be shown an alternative way of transportation before the environment is irrevocably destroyed. The book Electric Dreams, details the story about Harold and Douglas Miller (my father) and how they made a difference. It show-cases how a determined group can make a positive impact on the environment

The Efficient-Market Hypothesis (EMH) states that it is impossible to beat the market because stock market efficiency causes existing share prices to always incorporate and reflect all relevant information.

The stand-and-deliver model of teaching and learning is increasingly incompatible with today 's youth; in some schools, it is giving way to more varied methods founded on research about how children learn. Also the students who attend public schools come with more learning challenges than ever before, and the trend shows no sign of reversing (Evans, 2004). The changing needs of children demand that teachers expand their role beyond purveyors of information, to become facilitators, coinvestigators, guides, and coordinators. (Jorgenson, 2006).Changes are taking place rapidly, against a backdrop of the shift from an industrial economy to one based on the instantaneous, global traffic of information. Today 's schools are not designed to prepare children for the explosive economy or its demand for outcomes over process; the traditional model of teachers dispensing discrete, disconnected bodies of information curriculum presented in isolation from the other subject areas is increasingly obsolete as a way to prepare children for our world (Wagner, 2006).

The strengths of the lesson in my opinion was the fact that the students could play a game while also participating with consonant blends and consonant digraphs. Even though throwing buttons into a cup is fun and the lesson involved competition, it still made the students think about consonant digraphs and consonant blends. I also think that it helped the students realize how many words are made with consonant blends and consonant digraphs, which will help with their phonemic awareness.

Upon receipt of an email from Ruth Ann Ponten, a 7th grade math teacher, Maya Thomas, the district staff development and instructional consultant, immediately took action to help support the struggling teacher. Ruth Ann was located at a school within a rural community that was undergoing a major transition. The community of farm workers and working class families was transitioning to a community of educated professionals that were being attracted to the community’s strong, tight-knit feel and impeccable older homes. With the change of families, new expectations regarding education started to emerge as well.
