The document discusses setting up a collaborative student journalism project between a journalism class and a media partner. It provides tips for choosing a timely story, gaining support from university administrators, developing trust with media partners, creating a syllabus with clear milestones, grading student work fairly, overcoming obstacles, and ensuring students have a meaningful learning experience through independent reporting and seeing their work published. The goal is for students to gain real-world newsroom experience while investigating stories of local interest that traditional media outlets may not cover.

Succeeding in Your Teacher Education Program, and Beyond
Teacher Interview: Amber Velasquez
Amber Velasquez is a second-grade teacher at Chandler Oaks Elementary School, in Round Rock, Texas. Ms. Velasquez is in her second year of teaching. She grew up in Round Rock, did her student teaching in the school district, and is now a second-year teacher. From the time I was 5 years old I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I went to school in Round Rock, graduated from there, and now I teach there.
What is your school like?
The school has grades K–5 and is in its second year with 600-plus students. Our families are middle and upper class, depending on where they live. The two-story building is brand new, with lots of technology. Our district has a contract with Dell, a big company in Austin, so we have lots of technology.
We have windows on the outside of each classroom. They are fairly big. We also have windows looking into the hallway. The school expectation is that your blinds are always up for the windows looking outside and the ones facing inside. In many ways you are teaching in a fish bowl!
All six of the second-grade classroom doors face a big central area called the “Village.” This area is an extension of our classrooms. The Village houses technology including a big document camera and Smart Board that we can use for grade-level presentations and lessons. Each classroom has a bathroom, so there are no big bathroom breaks. Also, there is a back walkway joining each classroom.
What advice do you have for teacher education candidates?
Let me fast forward to something I wish I had known: I just want to share that this profession is a changing profession. There are going to be lots of trends that happen. There is going to be a lot of curriculum that you will learn is the “right way,” and the only way during your teacher preparation classes. Then you will learn that in the real world it will be taught in a different way.
Best practice is a growing practice. It is OK to feel passionate about the way a curriculum is taught, but you still need to be knowledgeable about other ways to deliver the same curriculum. Set high expectations for yourself as a personal learner. As you move closer to securing a teaching position and even after you have obtained one, seek out professional development opportunities, conferences, seminars, and books. The pressure of learning best practice increases once you earn your license. Hold yourself accountable for meeting your learning expectations.
To what extent are parents involved in your school?
Our parents are very involved. They are on campus all the time. If teachers have something they need done, such as a bulletin board, copies, or something cut out, a parent will volunteer to do that for you. There is a room called the Pro Center. Parents can work on projects there. What is wonderful about utilizing parent volunteers is that a teacher can spend her time working on things that are more academi ...
At the 10/15/2014 Parent Ed talk, Principal Heather Swanson Johnson gave a fascinating presentation about Catharine Blaine's Writer's Workshop. Her talk reminded me how fortunate we are to have passionate educators like her and Ms. Lily in our children's lives.
Even if you missed Heather's dynamic delivery of this PPT, you'll see her main takeaways from her talk about Writer's Workshop. Hope to see you at the next Parent Ed night!

Title: Managing the Classroom While Teaching Small Groups
A Multimedia Presentation by Sue Herrick for EDIM 510/wk5
For the 2012-13 school year, one of my professional development goals is to create self-regulated learners so I can intervene and be proactive with my struggling learners. Creating this PowerPoint presentation encouraged me to process gathered information regarding managing the classroom while teaching small groups.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Time…Is On Our Side
I HEARD A SAYING RECENTLY:
WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF
TIME…..
SO WE’RE GOING TO SLOW
DOWN
3. Today’s Goals
Get stoked! Yes, I said “stoked.” You can do this at
your university! Just Do It!
Have a Plan. Hopefully our discussion will plant the
seeds of a plan for you to pursue at your university.
Want to Chat More? I’m around, please come find

4. Quick Background
CI story was sixth pro-am partnership.
Student approached me with rumors of student heroin
OD in Fall 2013. Class ran Spring 2014.
Story was ready to go in May. Weeks before publication,
the mother backed out.
Shelved story. Re-engaged mother over summer.
Story ran in September 2014, CI program ended in
January 2015. 20/20 piece ran in January.
FOX TEACHA RULE #1: Expect the Unexpected.
9. Teaching Goals
Data. Students get introduced to using data in their
reporting and storytelling.
Story Idea Generation. Developing story ideas is a
skill students develop by end of semester.
Interviewing. No, e-mail interviews are not accepted!
Get students out of classroom.
Writing. Whether it’s a written piece or multimedia,
students develop their long-form writing.
FOX TEACHA RULE #2: Flexibility required
10. Getting Started: Story
Develop a timely idea to engage your media partner and
students. Early buy-in is crucial for success.
Idea needs to be doable. Remember, you have three
months. Don’t try to scale Mt. Everest.
Get buy-in from your department head/dean. Especially
if you’re focusing on your university.
FOX TEACHA RULE #3: Protect Thy Backside
11. Getting Started: Partner
The key ingredient is trust. Don’t get burned!
Better to partner with an editor you know. Dealing with
unknowns can create heartburn.
Develop a workflow with your editing partner. Allow
editors to give input directly to students.
FOX TEACHA RULE #4: Have Trust Issues
12. Syllabus: New Rule of Thirds
1. Find the Story: Students divide into teams, chunk
up idea to manageable pieces.
2. Report the story: Middle part of semester is
researching, reporting, interviewing.
3. Write the Story: Outlines, Drafts, Rewrites. Getting
students to start writing can be a challenge.
FOX TEACHA RULE #5: Draft early and often.
13. Grading
Weekly memos: Including memos on how
reporting/writing is going.
Create environment for success, guide students away
from stories that won’t work.
Not every student work will be published. So, how do
you grade “failure?”
FOX TEACHA RULE #6: Effort matters.
14.
15. Keys to Success
Build Trust. Student journalists face an even steeper hill
with sources than professionals.
Obstacles. Students learn to go around obstacles.
Identification. Students should record themselves at all
times. Never use “student project.”
Transparency. Let subjects know about project.
Time. Be realistic about commitment needed with such a
class: It’s a HUGE time commitment!
16. Potential Tripfalls
Investigating your school. There are many stories to
be done but also potential for blowback.
Grading. Can be tough to find the right formula.
Time. Have to be focused. Editing student work eats up
a lot of time. Anxiety levels run high.
Investment. Getting students emotionally invested early
is critical to success. Time management is always an issue
with students.
17. ‘Not Everyone Likes Us’
Sources. Students learn about gaining trust and building
credibility. Many sources have animosity towards media
and students feel that.
Obstacles. Frustrations provide great teaching
moments. REMINDER: These are students.
Failure. The failure rate is high. Some stories don’t pan
out. Some sources don’t cooperate or change their
stories. IT’S ALL LEARNING!
18. Benefits
Experience. Students get newsroom experience:
Working with editors. Covering beats. Interviewing.
Independence. Students say they love the
independence and a chance to bring together everything
they’ve learned to date.
Community Journalism. Students cover stories that
local media are unable or unwilling to cover.
