Visitors since 8/12/96 Welcome From PLANS President Welcome! People for Legal and Non-Sectarian Schools (PLANS) is a world-wide network of former Waldorf parents, teachers, students, administrators and trustees who come from a variety of backgrounds with a common goal: to educate the public about the reality behind Waldorf's facade of progressive, arts-based education. Waldorf is the most visible activity of Anthroposophy, an occultist sect founded by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). Together, we have performed exhaustive research on Waldorf schools and Anthroposophy, the esoteric, occult religion that both guides and inspires Waldorf teachers. PLANS affirms the right of all religious groups to practice and to teach their beliefs. But we expect those groups including Anthroposophy to tell the truth about their missionary efforts. My personal experience with Waldorf was very confusing. Instead of the progressive and liberal alternative school I was led to expect by the school's promotional materials and staff, I discovered a rigid, authoritarian environment that seemed to be rooted in a medieval dogma that I did not understand. When, in an effort to make sense of things, I asked questions about this, I found Waldorf teachers to be strangely defensive. I was stunned to arrive at the conclusion that the education of children at least as I use the term "education" did not seem to be the school's most important focus and objective. But what was?

Professional Reading Reviews Volume 32, Number 4, April 2005 David Loertscher Thoughtful, in-depth reviews of the newest in professional resources for the school library. ENHANCING TEACHING AND LEARNING: A LEADERSHIP GUIDE FOR SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALISTS, 2ND ED. Jean Donham Reviewed by Elizabeth Haynes Ehaynes@netdoor.com Jean Donham's stated purpose is "to help school library media professionals effect change in their program by integrating it into the school's overall instructional plan." She recognizes that librarianship requires both leadership and collaboration and that a good teacher-librarian should be able to practice both at the appropriate times in order to be an effective force for student learning in the school. This work effectively carries out its stated purpose through showing how professional best practices can be applied to create successful library media programs. This new edition revises and adds to the information contained in the first edition. The book is still organized in the same way with the first section devoted to environment and the second section covering the library media program. The environment section contains chapters on students, curriculum and instruction, the principal, the school district, and the community. The section on the library media program covers such topics as collaborative planning, scheduling, collection, literacy, technology, information literacy, assessment of student work, program evaluation, and leadership. Each chapter contains action strategies and references. This edition also adds a section on scenarios for discussion, with roughly one scenario per chapter. The action strategies and scenarios enhance the value of the work as a text or guide for staff or self-development. (Neal-Schuman, 2005. $59.95. 300 pp. 1-55570-516-2).

Box 1234 Montpelier, Vermont info@vtbikeped.org BICYCLE SAFETY EDUCATION BikeSmart in Vermont Schools Under a contract with VTrans, the Coalition has trained bicycle safety instructors in the BikeSmart safety curriculum. Instructors are available to go into local elementary schools, to present a 45-minute to 1-hour presentation to school classes and small assemblies. BikeSmart emphasizes safe "bicycle driving," with four core skills. Wearing a helmet, correctly. ABC Bicycle Safety Check Basic Rules of the Road (and how to avoid mistakes kids commonly make). BikeSmart ties into the Vermont Frameworks for education. Educators may want to read our 2-page description linking the curriculum to the frameworks. In the Spring of 2005, we served a total of 60 schools across the state with our BikeSmart program. We have about 30 volunteer instructors in the program thanks to our great instructors for making this program a reality! The schools and classroom teachers gave us great reviews! Here's some quotes from the schools about BikeSmart.

Let's see what we can do for your staff! Next Friday the mighty groundhog will show us how close we are to Spring, and all teachers know that with Spring comes that most timeless of traditions - the science fair! Any of us that have been in education more than ten years remembers what this meant before the digital era: data kept in loose-leaf notebooks which were only as valuable as a given student's penmanship, display boards which were a measure of one's artistic ability using rulers and markers, and projects whose success were as much a test of organizational skills as scientific practice. With the advent of personal computers the rules have changed. Data storage and organization is a leveled playing field. Graphic and text display of data is a simple matter of digital formatting. Online research provides easy access to information and ideas for science experiments. And the focus can be squarely where it should be - on the scientific method.

International Teaching Fairs EPO - The University Of Iowa College Of Education The job fair is where all the headmasters from different schools come You really have to plan ahead, decide which countries you re interested in, http://www.education.uiowa.edu/edplace/JSS/International/recruiting_Fairs.htm

International Teaching Recruiting Fairs Motivations International Schools Key Resources In a typical recruiting visit to the United States, the administrator of an international school will attend to personal and professional business, participate in one or more educational conferences, travel thousands of miles, and interview dozens or even hundreds of qualified applicants at recruiting fairs or placement offices, in hotel suites-even in hotel lobbies, restaurants, or airport terminals. Schedules are hectic and time is limited but, because many of the administrators will work directly with the people they hire, they are thoroughly committed to selecting educators who will be both productive and congenial colleagues. Recruiting fairs generally require that candidates complete registration forms, pay a fee, and submit a variety of documents (e.g. resume, essay, college placement file or letters of reference). Recruiters attending the fair typically arrive early and review the pool of applicants. Candidates are notified through conference mailboxes or bulletin boards that certain employers wish to meet with them at a particular time. Some recruiting fairs set aside an "unscheduled" time for candidates to visit with employers to see if interview appointments can be arranged. Preparing for an international job fair Locate key resources (internet, career center, library)

Now you must consider which offer to accept. Self-assessment, research, and asking thorough questions were critical to effective selection and application to graduate or professional school. These elements are again essential as you choose among those programs that offered you admission. Although you may have compared and prioritized schools during the application process, be cautious about simply accepting the offer from the one you ranked the highest. While worrying about just getting accepted, you may have overlooked or underestimated potential problems. Once schools actually invite you to enroll, it is wise to take a second look at your options and carefully investigate each one.

Bush: Focus More on Learning, Less on Technology Reshuffling the E-Rate and Other Edtech Programs Increased Edtech Research A Carrot and Stick Approach to Funding Introduction Now that the major political conventions have come and gone, presidential candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush are slugging through the final two months of the campaign, hoping to garner enough support from the electorate to propel one of them into the White House. This campaign cycle has already seen numerous issues thrust into the spotlight, including campaign finance reform, tax cuts and military readiness. Most notably, education policy has become a major point of contention, as the candidates recognize that reforming America's schools is often at the top of the list of citizens' major political concerns. Despite the candidates' posturing on education reform issues as a whole, their positions on education technology have only received scant publicity in the national press. Both Gore and Bush have spoken on edtech issues in their campaign speeches; their stands are also reflected in their campaigns' policy literature. (It should be noted, however, that neither of the major third party candidates, Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan, have taken a detailed stand on edtech issues.) Just how do Gore and Bush stand on edtech? Would technology be a priority in either of their prospective administrations?

By Will Woodward Tuesday March 22, 2005 The Guardian At the end of a long day at Ridgeway comprehensive school in Plympton, Plymouth, Phetole Mampeule finds plenty to be impressed by. "You can see the students learning with confidence," he says. "There's no way there can not be good learning here." Mampeule, headteacher of Bolobedu primary school in Limpopo, and his fellow visitor from South Africa, Nkho-sana Mnisi, an education official in the Gauteng provincial government, have crammed in a lot. There was a meeting with the headteacher, John Didymus, an ICT lesson, a concert, an art class, some A-level chemistry, a philosophy and ethics lesson (which they co-hosted), a reception, an assembly and three vivid pieces of AS-level drama. They are, naturally enough, impressed by the facilities, but that's not what they talk about most.
