You must balance your own classes with your teaching, research, family, and friends. Although your role as a graduate student should remain central, there are ways to manage your time that you can successfully balance both the role of a teaching assistant/graduate instructor and a graduate student. Use a schedule. Organize your calendar so you know what tasks you need to accomplish by particular deadlines. Set up both short-term and long-term schedules so that you can anticipate projects that will be due several months in advance. Create daily to-do lists. Each evening, create a daily to-do list that organizes the most important activities for the next day. Prioritize these activities so that you can productively use your time to accomplish the most important tasks first. This is especially important if you have a tendency to create ambitious to-do lists that are unlikely to get finished.

Metaphor, Morality, and Politics, Or, Why Conservatives Have Left Liberals In the Dust by George Lakoff IN THIS DOCUMENT... Keeping the Moral Books The Moral Accounting Schemes Experiential Morality Conservativism Conservative Metaphors for Morality The Strict Father Model The Nation-as-Family Metaphor Liberalism The Nurturant Parent Model Liberal Metaphors for Morality The Nation-as-Family Metaphor Filling in Some Details Moral Pathologies Consequences Coda: Deep and Superficial Metaphor About the Author We may not always know it, but we think in metaphor. A large proportion of our most commonplace thoughts make use of an extensive, but unconscious, system of metaphorical concepts, that is, concepts from a typically concrete realm of thought that are used to comprehend another, completely different domain. Such concepts are often reflected in everyday language, but their most dramatic effect comes in ordinary reasoning. Because so much of our social and political reasoning makes use of this system of metaphorical concepts, any adequate appreciation of even the most mundane social and political thought requires an understanding of this system. But unless one knows that the system exists, one may miss it altogether and be mystified by its effects. To understand what metaphor has to do with conservative politics, we must begin with that part of our metaphor system that is used to conceptualize morality a system of roughly two dozen metaphors. To illustrate how the system works, let us begin with one of the most prominent metaphors in the system the metaphor by which morality is conceptualized in terms of accounting.

87. Past Issues - September/October 1997 Teaching Teachers to Work with Families The conclusion was that these issueswere not a high priority in state certification. http://www.edletter.org/past/issues/1997-so/teaching.shtml

September/October 1997 Teaching Teachers to Work with Families A new study by the Harvard Family Research Project recommends substantial changes in how teachers are trained and certified By Leon Lynn At the heart of any successful parent-involvement program are teachers who are not only committed to building family and school relationships, but who also have the skills and knowledge to do it well. To succeed, a teacher must be able to make good use of families' expertise and resources, at the same time reaching out to families to support them. All the while, the teacher must also meet the day-to-day challenges of the classroom. To succeed at building parent involvement, teachers need professional development experiences that prepare them for the task, just as they need preparation in subject matter and teaching skills. But a new study conducted by the Harvard Family Research Project , "New Skills for New Schools: Preparing Teachers for Family Involvement," finds that few education and certification programs for teachers address family involvement in substantial ways. Lack of Specifics Family Research Project researchers reviewed teacher-certification requirements for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Only 22 even mentioned family involvement. "And even when it was mentioned, often it wasn't defined in clear and precise terms," says Elena Lopez, the Family Research Project's associate director. Phrases such as "parent involvement," "home-school relations," and "working with parents" often appeared without any explanation or examples of what they meant, she says. "The conclusion was that these issues were not a high priority in state certification."

Families print version Research states that home involvement with children's schools supports their achievement ( Epstein, 1995 ). Family involvement takes distinct forms for different communities, due to varied understandings of the roles that families play in school and the expectation for "involvement" as understood by school staff. Since other family members and individuals in communities often engage with schools on behalf of children, we recognize the need to expand the discussion beyond "parent" involvement. Research also demonstrates that schools benefit from families' funds of knowledge ( ). Therefore, it is important to forge relationships between families and teachers in their children's schools ( Valdes, 1996 ). The following information presents a basis for building family/teacher relationships by presenting facts and resources that educators of diverse learners need to know in order to promote communication between home and school.

You currently do not have JavaScript enabled in your web browser. The ABA website relies on JavaScript for display purposes. To fully experience the ABA site, please enable javascript. Fall 1996, Volume XII, Number 1 Family Law Thinking and Teaching About Transracial Adoption by Twila L. Perry The fact that the controversy over transracial adoption is the topic of such intense interest is, in and of itself, intriguing. The number of children in this country who have ever been adopted transracially is extremely small. If we consider the critical issues confronting vast numbers of Black children in America today such as poverty, substandard housing, limited educational opportunities, and limited access to health services, it becomes clear that the subject of transracial adoption has received attention far disproportionate to the number of children whose lives are likely ever to be affected by it. In this essay, I will address three issues. First, why has so much attention been focused on the issue of transracial adoption? Second, is there a framework for talking about transracial adoption that does not depend upon choosing between the differing factual contentions and value preferences of supporters and opponents of the practice? Finally, how can teachers of family law approach the subject of transracial adoption in ways that further their students' understanding of family law and its relationship to larger issues concerning race in America?

95. Special Education Inclusion When developing programs, consider multiple teaching/learning approaches like Critical issues in the Lives of People with Severe Disabilities, 1989. http://www.weac.org/resource/june96/speced.htm

Education Issues Series Special Education Inclusion Educators' Bulletin Board Classroom resources IDEAS Resource pages on educational issues ... ONLINE SERVICES This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: Do we value all children equally? Is anyone more or less valuable? What do we mean by "inclusion?" Are there some children for whom "inclusion" is inappropriate? There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.

Culture Geography History Life ... WorldVillage Current issues in teaching From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Teaching as a job is unique in many ways. Though a school usually employs many teachers, the teachers themselves may not actually spend much time together. This can lead to a feeling of loneliness, especially if the teacher does not get along well with his or her students In the modern world, the traditional problems of teachers have been compounded by many societal issues. Because teachers have such intimate contact with young people, many of the problems of the young are seen as interrelated with their school environment. It is not easy to separate causes from effects, but it is possible to trace a general outline.

Critical Issue: Supporting Ways Parents and Families Can Become Involved in Schools ISSUE: Increased involvement of parents and families often is cited as one of the most important ways to improve public schools parent involvement makes an enormous impact on students' attitude, attendance, and academic achievement . Although some working and single parents may be unable to contribute to schools because of work commitments and time constraints, educators are discovering many additional ways that parents can help students and their schools. Some of these ways are dependent upon the school's desire to involve parents. To effect change, parents must find time to participate in their children's education while schools must provide the supports necessary for them to be involved. The resulting partnerships between parents and teachers will increase student achievement and promote better cooperation between home and school. Together these efforts will connect families and schools to help children succeed in school and in their future. Joe D'Amico, co-host of NCREL's

Section Assembly Max Rows: Go to AAA Home CHAPTER 5 Some Experiences in Teaching Ethics in Fieldwork Classes Sue-Ellen Jacobs One of the best ways to encourage students to question research motives and procedurestheir own and those of the anthropologists whose works they studyis to embed this learning in the fieldwork experience. Since 1968, 1 have taught at least one experiential field course each academic year, designed to involve students in the life of at least one other person for a specific period: during this time, students question that person about their life, family, experiences, beliefs, and feelings. The purpose of these person-to-person exercises is to augment, in a dramatic way, the reading and lecture materials covered in class, and to emphasize to students, through their own personal experience, the value of the subject matter and the importance of ethical issues. Elsewhere, I have described long-term, goal-oriented projects where students worked under the supervision of community and faculty (Jacobs 1979, 1974a, 1974b); because those research experiences were tied to concrete action projects, students were involved in ethical issues concerning research and practice throughout the course of their participation in the field projects. I concentrate here on two shorter field projects, assigned in courses taught at the University of Washington.
