Literacy specialists John Wolf, Anna Shults and Trevor Packer, noon Friday.
The Vision Conference was free for Oklahoma educators from public, charter, and private schools.
Monday, June 11: The conference was for parents. I went to see the exhibits, pick up my conference packet and check where I was going to present on Thursday. The exhibit did not open until Tuesday. Downtown was like a zoo because of the first finals Thunder game. Parking was impossible and costly. $7 per day. I remeber when it was $3.00 per day. I love to see Oklahomas united for Thunder, but has Thunder make provisions to pay and have extra police, etc. I will never understand the craziness for sports and the apathy to end world hunger and violence.
Tuesday, June 12: Parking was a bigger problem. $10 until 4:30 after which, $40 because of the Thunder game. "Common Core," the buz word.
I learned about Common Core in English, but will that apply to Common Core in Modern Languages?http://www.corestandards.org/ ; http://www.corestandards.org/assets/CCSSI_ELA%20Standards.pdf. The state of common core in Oklahoma was explained as "The Common Core Standards have been adopted by 48 states and will be the new Standards that all public schools must follow by the timeline their state decides. For Oklahoma we have to have full implementation by 2013 with certain subjects and grade levels starting next year. The Common Core Standards are much different from the PASS that we currently have. They are made to be more rigorous and supposedly higher level thinking. Unfortunately they haven't even been written for many subject areas and art and foreign languages are some of those unknown subjects. Oklahoma's teachers are running around in a panic because they have to fully implement something that is not even fully developed yet by next year. SO, that is why you heard the terms so frequently. All of the "tests" are being rewritten, all of the teacher evaluations are being rewritten and everything is changing."
The Art of Collage Workshop: Glen Henry and James Huelsman (artist). Sculpture-painting-and collage. The team explain their personal experiences and gave examples
of famous collage artists and the drive behind their compositions: Picasso, Schwitters and motivated us to look at artistic elements of collaging as we integrated images and words into our own creations. I was not please with what I created, but it was a nice experience. The reason why I took this worshop is to have some guidelines on how to approach collaging YAC's mission, the charter for compassion, entrepreneurship in peace and social change, etc.
I learned to have in mind:
a. Properties of the materials
b. Spatial Relationships
c. Shadows
d. Luminosity
e. Scale
f. Dimension
g. Equilibrium
h. Self reflection
i. Make simple and repeat!
I will see if Megan can collaborate with YAC in this important way of setting guidelines of interaction for YAC.
Digital Citizenship Workshop: Tammy Parks, video production teacher and IT person for Howe Public Schools

2. Blogs: Edublogs, Kids Blogs
3. My Big Campus

In the frame of after school program, Joe and Janet demonstrated their ladder of empowerment of Youth Voice. I gave the book to Jean Warden and solicited her reactions. I feel that YAC and STUCO need this type of intentional empowerment.
Every one uses the step forward and backwards if....What they did skillfully is the sentences they use to find out our experience in Youth Voice in high school or college. It differed according to the generation you belong to.
Love their demonstration of choice and leadership. 3 corners. Corner one: Make a circle, clap, sing....teens following adult directions. Corner two: Adult gives a great variety of choices with a focus, choose one and become the voice on behalf of that object...great for youth leadership, choices based on preferences, entry point of leadership style and/or fear by way the group performed the task. Group three: Solve a World Problem by 2015...personal preferences, categorazing, choosing,
Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning: (TELL) Products and processes to enhance effectivemess. Need to follow-up on this and ask Desa to have a PD for Casady teachers. I did not attend this because one of my students was interested in Human Trafficking and I know little about it.

Casady in the morning to check mail box and deliver book to Jen Warden. Parking at a premium. $10 until 4:30 when it turned into $40 due to Thunder game.
11 Days of Unity: I presented. Felt I did a good job starting a peace dialog and connecting Pinwheels for Peace to personal, home, school, community and the world, but was very brief in the explanation of the 11 days of unity, which is at brainstorming stage until the new principal and students add their input. I will be pilot testing it at Boys and Girls Club at the same time as at Casady.
Do You Believe? 2012 Teacher of the Year Kristin Shelby gave a motivational presentation of the things we already do to develop relationships with our students. I was heading to my car and I heard motivation and I entered the room late and had to love early because I did not want to have my car in the parking lot after 4:30.
