1v1 Lol Classroom

My parents emigrated from the Philippines in the 1970s. They were part of a professional class that came to the United States in a wave of Asian immigration after the passage of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. Like many immigrants, they came for a better life, for themselves and for their families. And so when they could afford to move to a better school district for my brother and me, they did.
This was the 1990s. Twenty-plus years later, I wonder how much has changed. Meanwhile, our society certainly has. According to census data, less than three years from now in 2020, students of color will make up the majority of the children sitting in our classrooms. Those schoolchildren will graduate and go on to work within and among the most diverse generation in history.
Inclusive practices consist of both curricular materials and teaching methods. It assumes that because the aim of education is to empower students, decisions regarding curricula or methods are always political in nature. When our teaching practices are not inclusive, we perpetuate systemic inequalities.
Of course, these questions are by no means exhaustive. Many educators have been doing this work longer and have written extensively and brilliantly about these issues (see list at the end for additional resources).
While these questions are structured in list form, inclusive practices cannot be reduced to a checklist. For example, an inclusive curriculum cannot be achieved by simply checking off a list of diverse authors and texts. Instead, inclusive practices must infuse every part of our pedagogy.
The Therapeutic Classroom Grant provides competitive grants to public school districts to establish therapeutic classrooms for learners ages 3 to 21 whose emotional, social, or behavioral needs interfere with their ability to be successful in their current educational environment (Iowa Code 256.25). Districts applying for the grant may seek funds to establish new classrooms and/or install critical components into current classroom/programs that they are developing into therapeutic classrooms.
Public school districts may apply for the therapeutic classroom grant by following the directions provided in the Therapeutic Classroom Grant Application Package. The package includes a Worksheet that supports districts in preparing their application. The application process includes a self-assessment of therapeutic classroom components and the district applicants proposal for establishing therapeutic classrooms during the upcoming school year. *2024 grant awards are subject to legislative renewal and appropriations.
A school district is not required to operate a therapeutic classroom; however, a school district is required to ensure therapeutic services are available, whether in-district or otherwise, to students who need those services to access or benefit from an education.
For state reporting and reimbursement purposes to be considered a therapeutic classroom the program/classroom must serve both students with and without IEPs and include all the components listed in Iowa Administrative Code 281-14.13.
This semester, currently enrolled Harvard undergraduate students may attend one restaurant gathering (either lunch or dinner), and an unlimited number of coffee breaks as long as each gathering is with a unique group of students and faculty. Faculty are not limited in the number of gatherings they may attend. Please follow the guidance below for gatherings. Only faculty members who are primary instructors in a Harvard College course and currently registered Harvard College undergraduate students are eligible to attend.
For restaurant gatherings, a faculty member may invite between 3 and 5 students, or a group of 3 to 5 students may invite a faculty member. One faculty member per group. Group limits for restaurant gatherings are firm. All members of the group should agree upon a date and time and confirm their plan to attend before the submitter enters a restaurant gathering request.
Once you have consensus, enter the information requested into the online C2T application, and wait for confirmation. Please be aware that requests may take a few days to process, as restaurants need to confirm availability for the time and date of your gathering. Unlike the coffee break version of Classroom to Table, the restaurant option requires an exchange of information between application and restaurants. If your first- choice restaurant is unavailable at the time you request, the system automatically checks with the next restaurant on your list until options are exhausted.
Please do not contact our partner restaurants directly with any requests. Alterations, such as time or date changes and changes to the attendees, can be made directly through our Application. Note that when making date/time/attendee changes to existing reservations for restaurant gatherings, you will need to cancel the original reservation and enter a new reservation request. If you need help, email us at classroo...@fas.harvard.edu.
Note: Pavement Coffee does not have a mechanism to accept electronic vouchers, so please make sure to PRINT your voucher. Please do not ask Pavement staff to accept a copy shown to them on your phone or other device. They unfortunately can't accept an electronic format at this time.
Yes, but this will require you to cancel and resubmit at another date/time. The system tries to request reservations in order of your preferences and if you are assigned to a restaurant low on your preference list it likely means the other restaurants did not have availability.
This is dependent upon the restaurants and their availability. Restaurants are responsive and you may hear back in a day or two. If your first choice restaurant can't accommodate the request, it may take longer for the request to flow through the system to the next restaurant on your list. During especially busy times there may be some delay.
The maximum number of participants for a Coffee Break gathering is 10 students plus a faculty member. Therefore, if you have a larger section or a seminar group that wants to gather for Classroom to Table, the Coffee Break option gives you greater flexibility. Just keep in mind the challenges of conversation with a faculty member in a larger group, in an informal setting outside the classroom. If your group is on the larger side of the maximum, please consider that all students should still be able to directly interact with the faculty member.

Classroom Maestro is your intelligent, musical servant who understands what key you are in and who knows how to spell notes correctly on the staff, using your choice of grand staff, treble clef, bass clef, or any of the five C clefs. And when you touch just a single key on your computer keyboard, Classroom Maestro will even display an analysis of the notes shown on the staff, including:
Conveniently switch between Classroom Maestro and Home Concert Xtreme to teach your favorite music methods and pieces in a group or private lesson. Use Classroom Maestro with Internet MIDI to teach musical concepts over the Internet!
In a typical classroom situation, you have to appeal to a variety of learning styles. Some students are aural learners and others are visual learners. Some learn better by rote and others learn better by establishing logical connections between concepts. Your challenge, as the classroom teacher, is to address all learning styles simultaneously.
Classroom Maestro is musically intelligent, knows how to spell notes correctly based on the current major or minor key signature, and is always ready to analyze single notes, intervals, scales, and chords.
As you play, an onscreen keyboard will display the keys that you press and the on-screen musical staff will display the notes. Ready to give a quiz? You can easily turn off the keyboard display and just show notes on the staff. Alternatively, you can show notes on the keyboard and disable the staff display.
Classroom Maestro uses traditional, western music notation. This means that every note in the chromatic octave has three possible spellings (except for G#/Ab which has just 2 possible spellings). You might be wondering, which spelling does Classroom Maestro use when you play notes on your MIDI keyboard?
Classroom Maestro always thinks in terms of a traditional major or minor key. You can easily and quickly set the current key and major/minor modality with a couple of key strokes on your computer keyboard. And, you can even hide the key signature if you wish. Classroom Maestro does the rest, following normal rules of music notation.
