Teaching How to Teach: Meet Excellence in Education Award Winner Debra McDonald

This blog series features five educators who will be honored by The NEA Foundation with the prestigious 2016 Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence, $10,000 and recognition as one of the nation’s top educators. They will be celebrated at the NEA Foundation’s Salute to Excellence in Education Awards Gala on February 12, 2016, in Washington, D.C.

McDonald is an early childhood education instructor at Wayne County Schools Career Center in Smithville, Ohio. As the director of the preschool, as well as an instructor for her high school students,her innovative education program to teach high school students how to work with young children, as they train to become early childhood educators.

So how exactly does one teach teaching? One example is McDonald’s unit about principles of classroom and behavior management. “High school students often respond to children’s behavior based on their own experiences at school and home,” McDonald says. “I find it exciting to challenge their preconceived notions and help them find new, positive strategies to meet the needs of young children so that less misbehavior occurs.” Gaining first-hand experience in classroom management is an experiential learning skill McDonald believes is essential for future educators. “I am confident that practicing this skill in my program will provide students with a solid foundation to manage their own classrooms someday,” she says.

Not only does McDonald help her students learn about teaching, she herself remains a student of education. In addition to pursuing an EdD in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, McDonald learns through collaboration with her colleagues. “Learning about education is a constant in my life,” she says. “Whether collaborating with teachers in the United States, in Ohio, or in my own school district, I continue to learn about ways to make learning meaningful for students… I sit on committees at the local, district, and state level for the [Ohio Education Association] that bring together some of the best minds in education to problem solve and improve education for both students and teachers.”

McDonald sees her willingness to learn as essential to getting her students on board. “The teacher has to model learning for their students,” she says. “Doing so helps students connect to the vulnerability about learning something new. Modeling also helps students learn new metacognition skills to apply to their own learning. When teachers learn from students, they validate students’ experiences and understandings.”

The best part of her job? McDonald says that seeing her students graduate and go on to have classrooms of their own is a great reward. “Where else can a teacher surround herself with eager preschool children, who are beginning school for the first time and are excited about learning, along with high school students, who are preparing to graduate and are excited about teaching?”

Are you an innovative teacher? Check out which NEA Learning and Leadership Grants may apply to you. Learn more about NEA grants for educators, today.

UPDATE: On March 8th, Gilmanton voters defeated the proposed ban on local biosolids use by a vote of 531 to 501.

NEW:  Responses to Internet misinformation... see blog post...

Biosolids recycling is an important part of sustainable communities, returning nutrients and organic matter to soils, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting local farms and jobs, while dealing with a necessary by-product to which we all contribute.

Gilmanton, a town of ~3,800 residents in the lakes region of central New Hampshire, is having another classic debate about use of biosolids on local farms.  The debate is driven by a Town Meeting Warrant article that would change zoning laws to ban the local use of biosolids (Class A or Class B).  The warrant article was introduced by neighbors to farm sites where biosolids are used; they complain of odors and other nuisances.  The Planning Board held a public hearing on the article on January 14th (see NEBRA comments) and voted unanimously to NOT SUPPORT it. Voters discussed the warrant article at the Town Meeting deliberative session January 30th, 10 am, at the Elementary School.  Voters will decide by written ballot vote on March 8th.

The town had the same debate in 2011, when a similar vote was held.  That measure was defeated 310 to 169.

The biosolids debate is not just theoretical. There is a direct link between every household and business in Gilmanton.  Most of the septage from Gilmanton goes to the Franklin Wastewater Treatment Facility - ~270,000 gallons a year.  That facility produces biosolids that are land applied - and Gilmanton septage adds to that production. Franklin has a long-standing policy that, if a town bans use of biosolids, then the cost of septage disposal from that town increases.  Franklin currently charges Gilmanton residents $85 per 1000 gallons; that would go up to $130 if Gilmanton adopted a local ban, according to NH DES records.

Application of Class B Biosolids at NH Dairy Farm

Biosolids are in widespread use throughout New Hampshire and around North America.  Their use is supported by 40+ years of research, thousands of peer-reviewed papers, and numerous federal and state regulatory agencies (including U. S. EPA, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, U. S. Food & Drug Administration, and nearly every state environmental regulatory agency).  Where legal challenges have been made, courts have consistently supported biosolids use.  For example, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently upheld biosolids use as a "normal agricultural operation" under that state's Right-To-Farm Act.

Get free legal advice in Oregon.

Low to moderate income families in Oregon can get access to a full range of high quality civil legal services for free. Legal Aid Services of Oregon is a non-profit organization that was established with federal government funding. Attorneys from the organization provide free representation on civil cases, including housing, foreclosure, consumer credit, and more to low-income clients throughout that state if Oregon.

A staff of over 110, including over 55 lawyers, work for the agency, and they help over 8,000 individuals per year. Legal Aid Services of Oregon has been very successful at litigating a large number of difficult and important cases in an effective manner for its clients. They have experienced a high level of success, and the legal program priorities include various non-criminal cases. Assistance can be provided for foreclosure advice, work on domestic violence, access to public and government benefits, senior citizen cases, and other housing issues, such as landlord/tenant lawsuits and evictions.

Lawyers from the organization help people all across Oregon. Legal Aid Services of Oregon has field offices located in Albany, Bend, Hillsboro, Klamath Falls, Newport, Oregon City, Pendleton, Portland, Roseburg, Salem, Eugene, and Woodburn.

What types of free legal advice are offered by Legal Aid Services of Oregon

The programs they administer cover many areas, including:

  • Foreclosure prevention
  • Consumer Education, including credit and debt assistance
  • Government benefit programs, both federal and Oregon
  • Family Law
  • Farmworkers and migrant workers
  • Government benefits
  • Housing
  • Individual Rights
  • Native American Issues
  • Veterans and military personnel
  • Protection from Abuse and Violence
  • Seniors

One of the focuses is on helping homeowners and renters in Oregon. If you currently own your home and pay a mortgage, and if you are worried about a foreclosure filing, free or low cost legal aid may be offered. Also, renters facing eviction can get information on the eviction process and their rights. Additional support is provided for tenants that are worried about a foreclosure-related eviction. In all of these cases and more the client may get reduced-cost or maybe even free legal help, if they meet income limits.

Legal Aid Services of Oregon was also heavily involved in creating a Public Benefits Hotline. Paralegals and staff from the non-profit or its partners can provide support to low-income persons and senior citizens that are having problems in applying for or receiving public benefits such as SNAP Food Stamps, Welfare, or Social Security. Call the legal hotline at 1-800-520-5292.

Another priority is on protecting individual rights. This is a broad term and encompasses a lot of issues. For example, seniors and the elderly can receive guidance and representation on home care and programs such as Medicare. Migrant workers and immigrants can get information on their rights when they live in the state. Those are just a couple examples and many other low income families can get help with their civi legal matters.

You can reach Legal Aid Services of Oregon at (503) 471-1180 to learn more or to apply for free advice.

Other programs

If addition to the advice and representation mentioned above, attorneys from Legal Aid Services of Oregon run three other statewide programs. These include the Community Development Law Center, which will advise community development corporations on developing low income housing. Another program is the Farmworker Program, which serves migrant workers with representation in job matters, employment law and housing issues. Last, but not least, the Native American Program serves as council for both tribes and individual tribal members in Oregon.

No improvement in survival rate for very premature babies

Survival rates for very premature babies have not improved over the last 12 years, suggesting that the limits of viability have been reached, scientists claim.

Researchers from the University of Leicester analysed the survival rates of all babies born before 26 weeks who were alive at the onset of labour in the Trent health region between 1994 and 1999 and 2000 and 2005.

They found no improvement in survival among babies born at 23 weeks over the 12 years of the study, and no babies born at 22 weeks survived.

However, there was a notable improvement in survival rates of infants born at 24 and 25 weeks.

Publishing their findings in the British Medical Journal, the researchers wrote: 'Our findings concur with the view that the limit of viability had been reached.

'Large improvements in the survival to discharge of admitted babies born at 24 and 25 weeks in the most recent time period suggest that a blanket policy of not resuscitating these infants is inappropriate.'

The findings are particularly relevant considering the forthcoming parliamentary debate on whether or not the limit for abortions, which is currently 24 weeks, should be reduced to 20 weeks.

A chartered flight crashed into an under-construction building in Mumbai’s Ghatkopar. All 4 people onboard and a pedestrian were charred beyond recognition. Facing certain death, the two pilots - Captain Pradeep Singh Rajput and Captain Marya Zuberi - ensured that they crash landed the plane in an unoccupied building and not the highrises surrounding it. If that had happened the tragedy would have been much larger.

Toxic Taps

Clean Water Plan for Long-Suffering San Joaquin Valley Towns Derailed

An innovative project would see seven Tulare County towns plagued by polluted wells sharing a water treatment plant, but political infighting stalled the proposal days before a funding deadline.

Written by Mark Grossi Published on Read time Approx. 7 minutes
Canal water from Sierra snowmelt moves through Tulare County, California. A plan to help seven nearby communities with polluted groundwater wells gain access to surface water for their drinking supply recently stalled after years of effort.Tara Lohan

SEVILLE, California – Fresh Sierra mountain snowmelt would make a better drink of water for rural Tulare County folk who currently rely on wells tainted by fertilizers, leaky septic systems and decades-old pesticide residues. Nobody argues with that here in California’s San Joaquin Valley.

The problem is obtaining even a tiny fraction of the average 1.7 million acre-feet of Kings River snowmelt that heads mostly to farm fields each year. Even after securing the water, millions of dollars would be needed for a treatment plant, which is required for surface water.

But over the past several years, a rare opportunity has appeared for seven towns in northern Tulare County: Cutler, Orosi, East Orosi, Monson, Seville, Sultana and Yettem. The river water is available, and the state is willing to help build the treatment plant for the 17,000 people in these towns.

Clustered together in a broad, rural citrus belt, the towns have been suffering from contaminated wells for at least two decades. Children here are taught not to drink from the tap, and families living below the federal poverty line have often been forced to spend up to 10 percent of their income on bottled water. When the drought hit, wells dried up, leaving people in more misery.

Now, after enduring years of contamination, a devastating drought and the scuttling of a similar project six years ago due to a legal technicality, these rural residents are on the verge of replacing polluted groundwater with unsullied river water.

A regional water treatment system shared among several rural towns would be a first for the San Joaquin Valley, but it is threatened by self-inflicted delays and local political slowdowns, including one that last month stalled the estimated $30 million treatment plant.

This time the conflict is a home-grown squabble over the benefits of the treatment plant. The two largest towns, Cutler and Orosi, stand together in pushing for the majority of the benefits in perpetuity, leaving the five smaller communities on the opposing side. People on both sides are deflated, but still dedicated to building the plant.

One of them is Argelia Flores, a resident in Seville, one of the smaller five towns. She served on the committee to set up the owner-operator agency for the treatment plant.

“This treatment plant is a very good idea, and probably a necessity in future droughts – it is so hard to live without water in your home,” she says. “We thought this was going well until last month. But we’re not giving up.”

River water instead of groundwater is perhaps the most elegant long-term solution to the chronic contamination of drinking-water wells in this farm belt. The state’s 2014 groundwater sustainability law won’t protect the groundwater supply for another two decades and treating the contamination is too costly for small communities.

Around the San Joaquin Valley, many rural communities with contaminated or dried-up wells are connecting with bigger cities. One example is the Matheny Tract just outside the city of Tulare.

The northern Tulare County towns aren’t close enough to connect with big cities, such as Visalia, which has a population of about 130,000. The smaller five of the seven towns have stopgap measures in place that would have served residents until the river water treatment plant was built.

The distinctive water tower for Orosi is seen on the main street. Orosi and neighbor Cutler are two of the biggest towns in a seven-town deal to try and share a new drinking water treatment plant in Tulare County, California. (Melanie Stetson Freeman/The Christian Science Monitor)

The towns of Seville and Yettem are working together on a well. The town of Monson is getting a new well and distribution system, and soon will join nearby Sultana’s community service district. East Orosi is also working on a new well. Engineers say those projects are vulnerable to the same fate as other wells in the area – nitrate contamination from agricultural fertilizers. But folks were hoping to have the treatment plant built by 2020, to ensure a long-term solution.

Instead, Cutler and Orosi pulled out of the water treatment project talks just days shy of a deadline to acquire $250,000 for planning through a $7.5 billion state water bond, Proposition 1.

What happened? According to the revised contract language circulated at a meeting among the attorneys, the lawyer for Orosi Public Utility District proposed the benefits of the water treatment plant should remain in perpetuity as they were initially allocated – proportionately by population size. Cutler and Orosi have 80 percent of the 17,000 residents who would be served. But the numbers might change in future years as communities grow, opponents argued.

Before lawyers became involved in the negotiations this year, representatives of the seven towns had a tentative agreement to give Orosi and Cutler a majority vote on the board of a new agency that would own and operate the treatment plant.

But Orosi’s lawyer, Moses Diaz, sought to add the language about water benefits, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. Diaz did not respond to requests for comment.

Ryan Jensen of the nonprofit Community Water Center in Visalia worked with the communities for many months, trying to set up the new agency. He says informal polls of the communities show 85 percent of the people in the area want the project, and many are surprised and disappointed.

“If local leaders can’t take a strong project proposal and carry it through to develop shovel-ready projects, they won’t be in a position to take advantage of new opportunities for construction funding,” he says. “And the funding will pass by our valley communities.”

Jose Guerrero, a board member for the Cutler Public Utilities District, says there is talk of Cutler and Orosi moving forward with the project on their own. He says Cutler has been working on the water treatment concept since 2004.

“This is something the community needs,” he says. “But there was a disagreement among the lawyers about how the treatment project should be shared. It’s disheartening, but we have the greater population, and we have the greater need to serve more people.”

If Cutler and Orosi move forward on the project together, it would leave the other five towns vulnerable to continued contamination and dried-up wells. During the drought, Monson residents Ben and Lazara Luengas saved water any way they could – which meant their landscaping died and water was rationed for bathing, laundry, dishwashing and other household needs.

“It’s very hard,” Lazara says. “They delivered water to a big tank for us to use. You shower every day and do laundry once a week. But there isn’t much water left over for anything.”

The water treatment idea has run aground before. In 2007, the local Alta Irrigation District of Dinuba designed a plan to use some of its own Kings River water for towns in the area. Orosi, which had long been pursuing the river water along with Cutler, would be the lead applicant for grant money from the state.

Funding efforts languished on the state’s priority list until a highly publicized visit to the area from the United Nations in March 2011. A U.N. representative toured Seville, taking note of the crumbling, century-old distribution pipes and the town’s only well, which was contaminated. The U.N. urged California to act quickly in cleaning up the water.

The state publicly agreed, but then quietly balked again, citing a funding technicality: The funding would not be high priority because the lead applicant, Orosi, had a water supply that was not currently out of compliance with standards.

Local engineers unsuccessfully argued it was only a matter of time before Orosi would be out of compliance again. Months later, the seven communities got together and tried to obtain funding with the county taking the lead, but the delays and false starts continued throughout 2012 and 2013.

It has been frustrating for residents, because Alta Irrigation District’s plan to deliver about 23,000 acre-feet is still ready to go. The water would come from excess river runoff from wet winters, such as the latest wet season. The runoff would be allowed to percolate into two groundwater holding areas, which could be pumped for farm irrigation. The seven towns would get fresh river water that would not have to be sent to farms. State officials are confident Alta could make the deliveries even during droughts.

“In California, you always figure the tough part is getting the water,” retired Alta general manager Chris Kapheim said last year. “Not this time.”

The pain of the recent five-year drought changed minds. The state altered the management of funding for water fixes, making it more responsive to helping these impoverished towns.

Chad Fischer, Tulare district engineer for the California State Water Resources Control Board, which is involved in funding, says he, too, was surprised the seven towns could not reach an agreement in June. But he says the door is not closed on funding.

“It is a good project, aligned with State Water Resources Control Board’s approach,” he says. “I want to see this go through.”

Tulare county supervisor Steve Worthley, who has been involved in the project, says the group of five smaller towns might improve their chances by finding a larger community to join their effort – perhaps Dinuba, which has about 24,000 residents.

Would the state have to someday choose between a Cutler-Orosi application or an application from the smaller five? Fischer declines to comment. But he says, “We would prefer that the seven communities work together because it makes more sense for the region.”

Unlike so many of the newcomers, she did ncr*. expect to step right into stardom. In fact, she was prepared to spend some time getting any- sort of a chance realizing that becoming acclimated to audience reaction and getting over stage fright are two vital factors in early theater experience. Producers state that they look kindly upon the cilorts of young society women because of this altitude of humility. They arc, invariably, girls who have attendee theater to such an extent thai they have no Illusions concerning Ihe exactions; whereas, thousand? fore reaching the stage, quickly achieve professional assurance. As for the theater itself—it has e first major casualty of 'the ason to record.

Y OUR fire insurance dollar pays for indemnity—for immunity against financial toss when calamity overtakes you. But that dollar buys so much more than the inciemnity > it pays for that it ranks as one of the most effective dollars you spend.. Fire insurance, from the Indemnity standpoint alone, is one of the cheapest of present-day necessities. Its cost has consistently declined for many years—• even during the oerioc! of \var inflation. And this in spite of the fact that insurance service—vss rendered by the more than 250 Stock companies constituting the National Board of Fire Underwriters — has multiplied its activities for the public welfare and greatly enlarged their scope. Research and Engineering Your fire insurance dollar may pay for indemnity only, but for good measure STOCK FIRE INSURANCE provides engineering and research services to make life and property safer- laboratories in which to test materials and devices—scientific measurement of fire hazards •— buildins construction codes—arson detection and investigation—organized fire prevention—and other voluntary measures designed to lower the fire waste and thereby reduce the cost of fire insurance. A thorough understanding of what Stock Fire Insurance really means and doei-'^iid greater public use of its facilities—will result in a still further- reduction of the fire waste and a consequently greater service to the insuring public.
