Congrats to Brian Burdon, the 2014 recipient of the Bob Mars Scholarship! Brian is a teacher and the athletic director of Evergreen Middle School in Lake Washington School District.
The Bob Mars Scholarship is awarded annually to a middle level principal intern to help cover expenses for attendance at an AWSP-sponsored state conferences or any AWSP professional development workshop. The amount of the scholarship is determined by the Association of Washington Middle Level Principals (AWMLP) Board of Directors during their annual budget approval process.
AWSP has published its 2015 Legislative Platform. The platform was written and approved by both the AWSP Board of Directors and the AWSP Legislation Committee.
If you’re designing a classroom from scratch, what would you prioritize? According to an article from the inaugural issue of the Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences journal, you’d want to design with these three features in mind:
The National Indian Education Association, in partnership with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, is offering a three-day "train-the-trainer" event Nov. 14-16 in Toppenish for certificated teachers and administrators on the effective implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
Begin the activity by drawing an outline of the classroom on the blackboard. Develop a key to one side of the outline to be used to represent the plants, animals and special features which exist in the classroom.
