THE Weekly Newspaper THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 29, Number 32 Thursday, August 15, 2013 by William Halliar Shannon Barnes dreamed about owning and operating a horse ranch from the time she was a young girl growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. As a youth Shannon took riding lessons and even competed in tournaments, testing her skills against other riders, but what impressed her most, in those formative years, was the friendly and welcoming at- mosphere of the classes where she was taught; that was the kind of school that she intended to create, someday on the horse ranch of her dreams.

  • Full Statewide Report for the Study of Teacher Preparation for Early
    2014-15 Study of Mississippi Teacher Preparation for Early Literacy Instruction A Project of The Barksdale Reading Institute (BRI) and The Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) STATEWIDE REPORT December 2015 For public release 31 March 2016 Copies available for download at www.msreads.org 2014-15 Study of Mississippi Teacher Preparation for Early Literacy Instruction STATEWIDE REPORT “Evidence-based” refers to practices that have been shown to be successful in improving reading achievement. The success of these practices is demonstrated in two ways: by research-study data collected according to rigorous design, and by consensus among expert practitioners who monitor outcomes as part of their practice. These results—whether scientific data or expert consensus—must be valid and reliable and come from a variety of sources. Reading Excellence Act, 1999 Research in reading should follow the norms of science. Each researcher must try to learn from the work of those who preceded him and to add to a unified body of knowledge—knowing that neither he nor anyone following him will ever have the final word. Jeanne Chall, Learning to Read: The Great Debate, 1967 2014-15 Study of Mississippi Teacher Preparation for Early Literacy Instruction STATEWIDE REPORT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This document was made possible because of the vision and expertise of a dedicated team committed to improving literacy for all children in Mississippi. I wish to publicly thank them here. It must be acknowledged that this team included the deans and faculty of the 15 teacher preparation programs. Your willingness to participate and your spirit of transparency have enabled a thorough examination of how we are preparing teachers to teach reading in Mississippi.

Abstract “We’re Still Here!”: The Rhetorical Education of the Prince Edward County Free School Association, 1963-1964, was directed by Lois Agnew. In 1954, the Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors voted to withhold funding to public schools in reaction to the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling. Public schools remained closed for five years in this county. The White community created and sustained a private segregation academy. The Black community worked to provide a variety of programs to keep students engaged. In 1963, the Kennedy Administration took note of the Black community’s plight. Black community leaders and members of the Kennedy Administration worked to establish the Free School Association, a one-year temporary solution to the school closure crisis. The Free School made plain its intention to provide students with the skills they believed necessary for becoming active citizens despite the obstructions placed upon them by the White community.

  • Countherhistory Barbara Joan Zeitz, M.A. September 2015 Dick and Jane and Zerna: the Dick and Jane Textbook Reading
    CountHerhistory Barbara Joan Zeitz, M.A. September 2015 Dick and Jane and Zerna: The Dick and Jane textbook reading series was the most popular textbook reading method of all time. It was translated into five languages and taught in elementary schools throughout the world for four decades, from the 1930s through the 1970s. Zerna Addis Sharp (1889-1981), often called the “Mother” of the Dick and Jane textbooks, substantially conceived the concept and created the series. She herself always referred to Dick and Jane as her children. Although she never wrote the actual stories, without Zerna, her thoughts, her beliefs, and her skills, the Dick and Jane series never would have been. Zerna was the first of five children born to Charlotte E. Sharp in Hillisburg Clinton County, Indiana. She studied at the teachers college in Marion and began her teaching career in Hillisburg. She then taught for a number of years in Kirkland before moving to LaPorte, where she was a reading consultant and a principal. She was a highly intelligent, beautiful young woman, possibly ahead of her time, as well as possibly confined by the time and her gender. She had innovative teaching ideas and believed that children would enjoy learning to read and learn much easier if they identified with children shown in illustrations throughout books. Her ideas for Dick and Jane originated from the experiences she had with her own school children. After she taught first grade for more than a decade and served as principal of an elementary school, the desire to develop her reading method ideas into a curriculum program began to take shape within her.
