Greetings Mary Alice,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.
If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen

I just joined this Ning yesterday and was happy to see your face in this group! You mentioned that you are leaving Shekou... which school in Saudi are you off to?
Hope your time with Margriet is going well!
Looking forward to sharing ideas!

Washington is a beautiful town. Did you go to Shepaug HS? If yes, Joel Barlow is similar. I'm fortunate to work here. The faculty is dedicated and the administration is supportive. I enjoy most of the kids, very much.
I'm envious of a world citizen, such as yourself. How is your Chinese?

It represents lots of thought/work. I will suggest it to our journalism class. As long as we can afford it, we will continue to subscribe to Facts.com "Issues and Controversies" We require students to give a speech every year (grades 9--12).
In sophomore year, they have to choose a controversial issue. Since "Issues and Controversies" has over 800 topics, we have students choose one they are interested in. The two teacher librarians (Nancy and I) take turns showing every sophomore English class how to navigate the site, identify key words, follow links to organizations who support either side, and use the citation tool. The serendipity for us is that our state exam, give to sophomores, often uses this data base to compose a controversial issue as the basis of persuasive essay the students must submit. Our students are familiar with how the issues are presented.
I got caught up in a "Week Without Walls" tour today and didn't meet my Writers' Group, but check out our Ning to see if you've got kids that would like to join this. I'm about to invite two more students today and hope to get the group really contributing to the Ning soon. Try joining yourself and if it doesn't work, email me and I'll send an invitation out from the Ning.
