Medford Area Middle School Medford Area Middle School 2015/16 FACULTY HANDBOOK A Code of Ethics for Staff Positive character traits are commonly recognized as part of our heritage and are necessary for the full development of our students and our community. To that end, the Medford Area Public School District believes that all staff members should affirm for themselves, for our students, and for other staff members the following core values: Respect - exhibit a high regard for all people as well as the physical world around us. Responsibility - demonstrate good judgment and accountability for ones actions while accepting both positive and negative consequences. Honesty - tell the truth to one’s self and to others. Self Control - exercise restraint over one’s own impulses, emotions or desires for the good of self and/or others. Tolerance - acknowledge beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own. Courage - willingness to do the right thing even when facing rejection. Compassion - show kindness and caring for others and their needs. Attitude It is my conviction that students are here to learn, and we, to teach. This relationship should be evident in our daily association with students. We are not here to entertain or to compromise recognized principles of good behavior. We must encourage and demand good manners and proper respect in all phases of a youth's growing years. We will serve as an example and lift up our students on all occasions as we work with students in and out of the classroom.

  • Reverence for the Ordinary in Bush Cree Teacher Education
    TAKING IT BACK, PASSING IT ON: REVERENCE FOR THE ORDINARY IN BUSH CREE TEACHER EDUCATION Christina Mader Box 455 Squamish, British Columbia Canada, VON 3GO Abstract I Resume Researching teacher education in a remote Alberta First Nations commu­ nity was a slow and satisfying process offorming face-to-face relationships with traditional Cree women educators. I asked "What is important for people to know around here?" Through photography, diary writing, inter­ views, and participating in community activities, I noticed how the women cherished ordinary things they did for and with each other. I describe how we shared what resulted with members of the local Cree Nation in thirteen formal ways. Faire de la recherche sur I'education des professeurs dans une commu­ naute autochtone eloignee de l'Alberta s'est montre un processus lent et satisfaisant en vue de tisser des relations face aface avec les educatrices crees traditionnelles. J'ai demande: "Qu'est-ce que les gens trouvent important de savoir, par ici?" A travers des photographies, la redaction de joumaux intimes, des entrevues et la participation ades activites commu­ nautaires, j'ai note combien les femmes cherissent les choses ordinaires qu'elles font pour les autres et les unes avec les autres. Je decris comment nous avons partage les resultats des recherches avec les membres de la nation cree locale en treize points formels. The Canadian Journal ofNative Studies XIX, 1(1999):91-118. 92 Christina Mader The purpose behind the teacher education study (Mader, 1996) de­ scribed in this essay, was to understand local knowledge and how tradi­ tional values might become part ofteacher education.

  • The Yogiebogeybox
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Tracy Boothman Duyck for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing presented on December 1, 2003. Title: The Yogiebogeybox Abstract Approved: Redacted for Privacy The Yogiebogeybox isa novel-in-stories. This novel explores spiritual transcendence and the connection of art to that spiritual journey. A variety of points of view are employed in the narrative in order to depict the journey of the protagonist, Ant Malo, through this journey. Some of the narrative threads are layered, told through filters, and filters are central to the theme of this novel. In each story, the narrators, many of whom speak through the author (a character named Tracy Boothman Duyck) comment on these journeys. In "Practical Jokes" a neighbor of Ant's, Sally, has a physical experience that is orchestrated by Ant, who rests secure in his good deeds. He believes that his deeds alone, inspired by a spirit of goodwill, make him a good man. "Prince Lovely and the Little Bigs" offers a portrait of Ant's daughter Regina, an adolescent girl whose opinion of her father, in the light of events that happen in her life, would differ from his own. "In the Company of Bards" illustrates Ant's late coming-of- age and acceptance of his transgressions in the physical world and depicts how the consequence of those transgressions compel him to seek a penance that shadows his daughter's fate. Stories like "Jimi Hendrix's Banshee," "Liturgy of the Hour," and "2001- A View from a Dreamscape Out West" and "More in the Way of Dreams," bring the spiritual and sub-conscience life of Ant Malo together, and couple the presence of the metaphysical with the mystery of existence.

  • Laurie Halse Anderson
    Novels by Laurie Halse Anderson Speak Fever 1793 Catalyst Prom SPEAK LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON T FIRST MARKING PERIOD WELCOME TO MERRY WEATHER HIGH It is my first morning of high school. I have seven new note­ books, a skirt I hate, and a stomachache. The school bus wheezes to my corner. The door opens and I step up. I am the first pickup of the day. The driver pulls away from the curb while I stand in the aisle. Where to sit? I've never been a backseat wasteease. If I sit in the middle, a stranger could sit next to me. If I sit in the front, it will make me look like a little kid, but I figure it's the best chance I have to make eye contact with one of my friends, if any of them have decided to talk to me yet. The bus picks up students in groups of four or five. As they walk down the aisle, people who were my middle-school lab partners or gym buddies glare at me. I close my eyes. This is what I've been dreading. As we leave the last stop, I am the only person sitting alone. The driver downshifts to drag us over the hills. The engine clanks, which makes the guys in the back holler something obscene. Someone is wearing too much cologne. I try to open my window, but the little latches won't move. A guy behind me unwraps his breakfast and shoots the wrapper at the back of my head.
