I read something every day where educators and/or elected officials are talking about the importance for our kids, our country, our future, etc., of teaching computer science, the sticking point being an extreme shortage of qualified teachers.
UC Berkeley offers a CS class, intended for non-majors, called The Beauty and Joy of Computing, the idea being that yes, programming is hard, but it also opens up new ways for people to connect, design, research, play, create and express themselves, to translate ideas into code.
If teaching CS is important, provide an incentive to get qualified teachers in the classroom, who can teach what they do, teach something that is part of their life, teach something that is personal and valuable to them, and pass on their own insights and experience.
Dana Fritz, clinical professor, and her husband, Scott Fritz, have made a generous financial pledge to establish a faculty endowment fund in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS). This gift is intended to help recruit and retain top-notch faculty for the SLHS program in the years to come. Though this gift is currently at the faculty-scholar level, the Fritzes plans to grow it to a professorship-level fund in the future.
Faculty endowment funds such as the Fritz Faculty Scholar in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences help students, the university as a whole and, of course, the professors and faculty scholars who receive them. The funds can provide faculty researchers with useful resources like new equipment or a graduate research assistant, and they can attract more experienced and prestigious faculty to teach at MU.
The most successful teachers in SLHS, Dr. Fritz explained, have three core qualities: clinical expertise, knowledge of academic content, and an awareness of innovations and updates in the field of SLHS.
Dr. Fritz had great teachers who influenced her long before she ever met her college professors: her parents. She is a first-generation college student and says that her parents always valued education and lifelong curiosity.

If teacher training transforms the classroom, then better training will certainly lead to even better results. Now, thanks to the Lubavitch Chinuch Organization Igud Hamelamdim, over 200 new and returning teachers have undergone superior training by experts in chinuch.
The course has earned the praise of teachers and principals for its time-honored methods, lucid delivery, and down-to-earth guidance. Numerous graduates of the course have already been placed in schools around the country.
Notable among the attendees was a group of mechanchim from Melbourne, Australia, and a group from Baltimore, MD. These mechanchim who had already been teaching in the classroom for several years, decided to improve their teaching by joining the course, and they were astounded by its clarity and practicality.
The popular course covers the fundamentals that every teacher should know, such as preparing and presenting an engaging and comprehensible lesson, motivating students to love learning, and creating a positive and productive school atmosphere.
Graduate Rabbi Avrohom Cadaner spoke at the siyum on behalf of all the other graduates. He noted that although many of the topics are familiar to one who is involved in chinuch, the fresh perspective and tools gained at the course were exceptional.
The 5783 course graduates are Rabbis: Menachem Marmulszteyn, Menachem Cadaner, Yehuda Gorkin, Naftali Salzman, Yossef Milan, Levi Shuchat, Yehoshua Korenblit, Yisroel Haller, Avraham Kroll, Yechiel Schanowitz, Eliezer Wulliger, Menachem chazan, Menachem Pinson, Yisrael Menachem Mendel Eliashiv, Menachem Sufrin, Yudi Green, Levi Morozow, Levik Gourarie, Menachem Namirovski, Yisrael MM Eliyashiv, Menachem Sorkin, Reuven Mizrachi, Menachem Cohen, Yehoshua Laufer, Yitzchak Rahav, Yanky Werner, Levi Zirkind, Menachem Mendel Wolowick, Moshe Teitelbaum.
Teachers all over the world have students draw self-portraits all the time, but have you ever wondered if there is a way to take the learning up a notch? Why should we use self-portraits in a fluffy way when there is so much potential for deep learning there?
The reason I wanted to share these things about self-portraits is because I know teachers all over the world have students draw pictures of themselves all the time. A lot of times I see teachers using it as a first day of school activity or some other fluffy activity. My question, though, is why should we use self-portraits in a fluffy way when there is so much potential for deep learning there?
Okay. So, let me be just a bit more structured. First, we are going to talk about why students should be creating self-portraits in our classrooms. Then, we will talk about a few different ways students can create self-portraits. Finally, we will talk about integrating some other content standards with the creation of self-portraits.
First, self-portraits are, by nature, introspective. If educators want their students to get to that point of self-efficacy, or the point of having hope that they can change their circumstances if they choose to do so, then we have to teach them to be introspective.
The symbolism in the last two is not as obvious. These can be used to write similes and metaphors. This eye has two parallel lines. The student might write: my eyes are train tracks in my hometown. This one has all kinds of colors on the skin of the face. The student might write: My skin is like a rainbow, many colors coming together as one beautiful whole.

Throughout the course of this TEFL course, many factors were discussed that can lead to potential success or failure within the ESL classroom. One factor that was constantly highlighted was the teacher's attitude and ability to build a good rapport with their students. Student engagement skills are vital for motivating students. Teachers in a classroom should develop a relationship with their students where the students can be comfortable in his or her classroom environment.Table of ContentsCircumstances Supporting Rapport
