Educator

I saw the diabetic educator today and got started on Humalog and Lantus. I use a pen for both. Hooray!! This should bring my blood sugars back down into the normal range and let me feel a whole lot better very soon. She explained to me that I got the insulin resistance (and the whole Syndrome X cluster) from one ancestor and the Type 1 beta cell damage from another. I commented that I was a combi

Childbirth has a history that is filled with traditions, strong community bonds, and power. Every person who has an interest in becoming a childbirth educator should make it a priority to know the this history of women's birth. Knowing the history of birth will not only help us to continue the strive towards a more traditional way of birth, but will also help to remind us of what a powerful and

If you have not been to the NAME’s (When are we going to start using the NAME abbreviation, instead of MENC, more?) website for a while you will notice that they received a substantial upgrade to the look of their site.  Although it has taken me awhile to find everything I used before at their site, I think you’ll agree with me that the upgrade is an improvement. Chief among the facelifts is, finally, the addition of two NEEDED and easy to access RSS Feeds embedded within their front page (Now it’s up to us to get everyone to know how to use them!): MENC News: Events:   They have also added some relevant adds to the left sidebar and created a Newsblog “look” to the front page.  It is a little tricky to find the forums and mentor pages, but I’ll tell you ho

I have always thought a literate educator was one that knew the language and could draw metaphors with it, as well as write and read. What do you consider the qualities of a literate educator? What peaked my interest was learning how to make a podcast the other night after arriving home from school. Creating one is something I’ve been meaning to do, so I sat down at the trusty laptop and got a Googling. Within 20 minutes I had found the article that worked for me to explain the procedures and the parts I needed, which weren’t much. With a microphone hooked to my PC and free software I’m able to get started in the world of podcasting. As an educator, I think I can turn my podcasts into a handy education tool for students. But why make the effort? They will listen. How many stu

Richard Heinberg, one of the world's foremost Peak Oil educators and Research Fellow of Post Carbon Institute, is coming to New Zealand in October hosted by the Green Party and the Eco Show to give talks in Auckland, Wellington and Taupo. "The end of cheap oil is a problem the world will have to face, and I am honoured to be able to host Richard Heinberg here at Parliament for a briefing to all MPs on this topic," Green Party Co-Leader Jeanette Fitzsimons says.He is the author of eight books including The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies (2003), Powerdown: Options and Actions for a Post-Carbon World (2004), and The Oil Depletion Protocol (2006). He is also a journalist, educator, editor, lecturer, and a Core Faculty member of New College of California where he teaches a programme on "Culture, Ecology and Sustainable Community". Since 2002, he has given over 300 lectures on Peak Oil to a wide variety of audiences—from insurance executives to peace activist

We've gotten some really fantastic comments on last week's post about discouraging professional performance ambitions in music education students--this post obviously struck a chord with many readers.  You can check out all of the comments on this post here, but I'll share a few of them here as well: Jerry Fuller writes: I found your comments on performance/education very interesting and I would like to push the conversation even further. I find professional performers too often are very highly, and narrowly, trained technicians. The artist can rise above being merely highly skilled with exciting and provocative musical interpretations. I hope and believe that the next frontier for the artist is to be an integrated, contributing member of the community which to me means performing at a very high level, teaching, providing hope by introducing the joy of music to the less privileged among us, and to be able to critically think about and articulate the role of the artist in

Wow! Microsoft has outlined six success factors for educators and divided them up into thirty seven key attributes as part of their Education Competency Wheel. The really neat thing is that you don't have to actually know anything. Being competent does not even come into play!In my quest for precision of language, I looked up the word "competency" and found that it was not included in Webster's 1812 Dictionary of American English. The best, and most applicable definition for competency I could find was this from the Australian National Training Board:A competency comprises the specification of the knowledge and skill and the application of that knowledge and skill across industries or within an industry, to the standard of performance required in employment.That is not so bad, except that Microsoft seems to have left off the first half. To be successful in education, you need only know how to manage information and people, not actually have any real expertise in your subject area

By Mimi Rothschild Hello all, this is a short post, but I thought I’d share this great article I read. Duane Sheppard, a retired educator with almost three decades of experience in the public school system, wrote a compelling article on home schooling and home schooling’s increasing popularity. I find Mr. Sheppard’s article to be extremely fascinating because he gives home schooling such high marks even though he worked for almost thirty years in public schools. Mr. Sheppard recently watched his home schooling grandson graduate. He notes that home schooling is not a new trend. “Though it may seem like a recent trend, home schooling is nothing new. George Washington, Queen Elizabeth, Theodore Roosevelt and Sandra Day O’Connor were home schooled. However, a couple of decades ago, this option still seemed like a fringe choice.” He meticulously documents home school’s progress, home school’s tremendous success, reasons to home school, and home schooling benefits.

By Mimi Rothschild Patricia Kokinos, a teacher and an assistant principal for more than 25 years paints a dark picture of the public school system in America. "Angel Park" is a fictional novel that was inspired by Kokinos career as an educator and her experiences in fighting for school reform. The novel describes the dismal state that public schools are in and the urgent need for public school reform. Kokinos was rejected from a number of publishing houses because they did not agree with her belief that a novel should be written on the downfall of public schools in America. She finally decided to print the novel herself through the independent publishing house iUniverse. I'm glad she did! "Angel Park" is now receiving national media attention and is a finalist for the Foreword's Magazine Book of the Year Award. Read more about Patricia Kokinos book. My children have benefited from a great alternative to the public school system: homeschooling. Christian homeschooling

Tennessee is developing a student loan forgiveness program for registered nurses who are looking to pursue an RN to MSN degree. The state is doing this in an attempt to shore up the nursing shortage crisis that partially stems from the nurse educator shortage. Governor Bredesen believes the new loan forgiveness program to encourage RNs to pursue master's degrees should help alleviate the nursing shortage in Tennessee.

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recently reported that U.S. nursing schools turned away more than 32,000 qualified applicants in 2006 due to an insufficient number of nurse educators, clinical sites, and classroom space. A 2005 survey of nursing schools found that 73.5% reported faculty shortages as a primary reason for not accepting qualified nursing applicants and many nurse educators are not joining the faculties due to the pay cut that comes along with it.

The lack of nursing faculty at Grossmont College in EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA has forced the college to lose the national accreditation for its nursing program. Grossmont College has about 300 students in its nursing program, and school officials say it's almost impossible to find enough nurse educators to teach them.

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) released on December 5th survey data that shows enrollment in baccalaureate nursing programs increasing by 5 percent. While this is good news, the AACN is very concerned about the high number of qualified students being turned away from nursing programs each year given the national nursing shortage.

Nurse educator Tracey Gaslin who is an assistant professor at the University of Louisville was selected from more than five hundred nominations to receive the New York Times Job Market “Tribute to Nurses” award. This award is given to honor outstanding patient care and excellence in nursing education.
