Scoop.it!
I learned a new online tool today - Scoop.it! My former colleague Robin in Concord has all these wonderful tools which she is always ready to share. This particular one is very helpful for me as part of my role is to inform teachers with new research and to integrate new ideas and tools. Click on the top tap under Scoop.it! Feel free to help me make it better.
Life as an immersion coordinator
A group of wonderful undergraduate students from Carleton College visited the immersion program on Thursday. During our conversation, a student asked me to share what the life of an immersion coordinator is like. I thought it was such a retrospective question and decided to revamp this blog. I wanted to use this as a link to share pieces of my life in my current adventure with you all.
This past Tuesday, I attended a workshop organized the Edgerton Center at MIT. The goal of this one day workshop was to meet young and inspiring scientists and to bring them to the classroom to "Tell Your Story" to the students. The 20 or so scientists all came with interesting stories and experiences to share. I was hoping to meet other teachers from Cambridge, instead, I met teachers from the greater Boston areas, including Mattapan, Belmont, and Canton were excited to expand the students' learning outside of the classrooms. My goals for joining the workshop? I wanted to explore wider collaboration opportunities in the area and to connect them with the teachers and the students. I look forward to the exciting possibilities of having the kids skyping a n astronomist who will be in the South Pole in December/January. As well to have a PhD students in math to talk about the cool things kids can connect to. And to bring the students out to the Harvard Brain Research Lab to look at how scientists work.
Tuesday night, I attended a parent gathering in the other dual-language school. The principal in that school wanted to receive parental inputs on the hiring of the soon-to-vacate Assistant Principal Position.
Back in school Wednesday morning, another prospective candidate for the immersion English position held a demo lesson in class. The final decision is made by the principal, and hopefully my input helps.

U.S. Senate Hearing on "The Key to America's Global Awareness: A Quality Education"
"This week, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee held a hearing on 'The Key to America’s Global Competitiveness: A Quality Education.' In his opening statement, Chairman Tom Harkin (D-IA) framed the purpose of the hearing, saying 'What our children and grandchildren learn today will determine America’s productivity in the future, and that depends on preparing them to compete in a global marketplace more competitive than at any other time in history. But while globalization and technology have dramatically increased the skills and qualifications required to succeed today, our schools are largely geared toward the assumptions of a 20th century workplace.' Read more about the hearing, including witnesses’ statements submitted for the hearing on the Committee website."

We are part of the Jane Goodall "Roots and Shoots" program!
我們剛加入了“國際珍古德教育及保育協會”的“根與芽計畫” ！ 我們期待著與世界各地的孩子們分享我們的活動。http://www.goodall.org.tw/about_rs/index.htm
We look forward to sharing our exploration with children from other parts of the world! For Jane Goodall's English program website, please visit: http://www.rootsandshoots.org/.
"Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation. Shoots seem very weak, but to reach the light, they can break open break walls. Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet. Hundreds and thousands of young people around the world, can break through these walls. You can change the world." - Jane Goodall
| 「根向下無盡的伸延，形成穩固的基礎。 芽雖然看起來嬌小薄弱，卻能夠為了尋覓陽光而破土移石。 如果我們為地球所製造的各種問題，是一道道堅固無比的城牆，遍佈世界各地生根萌芽的千萬顆種子，就足以改變世界。 你，能夠改變世界。」 |

The Pace of Educational Change Quickens
Kevin Bushweller wrote on Education Week about the rapid pace innovation is happening everywhere, however, "precollegiate education has been slower as a whole to embrace new ways of doing things."
