Biology Education Review Offers back issues of a newsletter intended to encourage communication and the sharing of ideas among college biology teachers. No longer in active publication. http://yucca.uoregon.edu/wb/Newsletters/BER.html
Extractions: Electronic versions of back copies are still available at this site. Welcome to Biology Education Review! This newsletter is intended to encourage communication and the sharing of ideas between college biology teachers who adhere to the following principles: That students need to understand scientific ways of thinking, the role of science in society, and the nature of scientific knowledge, in addition to fundamental concepts in biology That students need to have opportunities to make connections between what they already know, what they are learning, and issues that are important to them That students need to be actively engaged in their own learning, including asking their own questions, constructing their own explanations, and communicating their ideas to others That teachers need to think critically about their teaching, treating it as an area of inquiry in which empirical evidence, sound theory, and frequent collaboration are just as important as in their disciplinary research.

EVERETT, Washington (AP) Striking teachers in Marysville voted to obey a judge's order and go back to work, ending the longest teachers' strike in state history. The vote Monday night was 420-181 to begin teaching classes Wednesday, the first of this school year for the district's 11,000 students, said Rich Wood, a Washington Education Association spokesman. "It is time for all the adults to grow up and start looking at their obligations to these children," Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Linda C. Krese said earlier Monday, upset that four days of court-ordered negotiations failed to yield a contract. Had teachers decided to violate the order, they could have faced fines of $250 a day. "Marysville teachers will return to the classrooms and our students," said Elaine Hanson, president of the Marysville Education Association, "but our fight doesn't end tonight." Hanson said teachers support a change in school board membership, and will continue to seek "a fair and reasonable contract" through negotiations.

CORAL SPRINGS, Florida (AP) As the last school year wound down, Fran Tankovich dreaded the thought that she would no longer be teaching her high school art students, who ranged from natural talents to diamonds in the rough. At 60, she faced mandatory retirement because she had signed up for a deferred retirement program five years ago. At the time she enrolled, it meant more than $100,000 in extra pension money, an offer she called "too good to refuse." But Florida lawmakers during the spring gave Tankovich and hundreds of other teachers facing the same situation another chance to remain in the classroom and keep their extra retirement benefits. The Legislature, which desperately needed to find more teachers because of class size limits approved by voters last fall, allowed school districts to extend the state's Deferred Retirement Option Program, or DROP, for another three years. Gov. Jeb Bush signed it into law in June.

Time.com People Fortune EW ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania (AP) A judge issued an injunction Thursday allowing high school cheerleaders to tumble and perform mounts that had been banned by their athletic league for safety reasons. County Court Judge James Gardner said the Colonial League's decision was made in a closed meeting, denying the public and cheerleaders from taking part. "We feel vindicated," said John P. Karoly Jr., attorney for the 92 cheerleaders and parents who filed the lawsuit. Some cheerleaders planned to resume stunts at field hockey games Thursday night. Full squads will be cheering Friday, Karoly said. Cheerleaders argued the league violated the Sunshine Act the state's opening meetings law by making a "clandestine decision." League officials said the routines were dangerous and unnecessary since cheerleaders are in a "supportive role" at sporting events.

Time.com People Fortune EW More than 1,500 students, teachers and parents gathered for the Ohio school board's panel discussion on evolution taught in the classroom. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The state school board, struggling to come up with new science standards, heard during a packed hearing from backers of evolution and from those who believe life must have been designed by a higher power. About 1,500 people attended Monday's meeting, where supporters of "intelligent design" backed off their push to have the concept written into the standards. Instead, they told the board teachers should be allowed to discuss evidence for and against evolution, the most widely accepted life process based on Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. "Ohio should enact no definition of science that would prevent the discussion of other theories," said Stephen Meyer, a fellow at the Discovery Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture in Seattle. "We think an honest critique of Darwin's theory will support our cause in the end."
Extractions: Languages Spanish Portuguese German Italian Danish Japanese Korean Arabic Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW BOONE, North Carolina (AP) Administrators at Appalachian State University have been asked to consider teaching classes next term as the school weathers a budget crisis. Chancellor Frank Borkowski requested that administrators with the proper academic credentials pitch in to help maintain the number and variety of courses. Lower-than-expected tax revenues have triggered state budget woes. If the university budget is cut as expected, Appalachian State could lack the money needed to hire part-time instructors for some courses. Bob Shaffer, the school's associate vice chancellor for public affairs, said the administrators he has talked with are enthusiastic about the idea even though adding teaching to an already full administrative job is a major commitment. "This is not mandatory," Shaffer said. "People are responding to this because they want to."

Time.com People Fortune EW WASHINGTON (AP) Lawmakers handed a victory to President Bush's effort to give religious organizations access to federal funding by endorsing their involvement in after-school activities at public schools. A bipartisan House-Senate conference committee approved the after-school language unanimously and without debate Tuesday. Congress has been working on an overhaul of federal education policies since last winter. The panel is working out differences in versions approved by the House and the Senate. Lawmakers hope to present Bush with a finished bill by the end of October. Tuesday's voice vote, on a small part of the bill, cleared what has proved a contentious point. Under its provisions, the federal before- and after-school program would be modified so that education departments in the 50 states would decide which programs are financed. School districts now apply directly to the U.S. Education Department. The change would favor programs in which school districts collaborate with community organizations, including religious groups. It also would favor projects that focus on academics. Bush has championed opening up more federal programs to religious organizations, so far with mixed results.
