    Star Academy Middle School Guide 2021 - 2022 PROGRAM AND SCHEDULE Capture Curiosity. Develop Potential. Our Philosophy The best for you & your growing child Our goal is to maximize your children’s academic opportunities during school time, so that families can have their evenings and weekends free to enjoy being together. The Directors of Star Academy have the child’s interests in mind, and also value the interests of the parents. Our extensive school curriculum exposes the children to many different spheres of knowledge and experiential learning during the daytime -- prime time for learning. As a result, many extraneous after school activities become unnecessary. However for those still looking for additional electives, the after school program has ample offerings all under one roof. Thus, we take away the burden of shuffling schedules, circuitous driving, and no family time or weekend time to yourselves. Mission Statement The Star Academy’s primary objective is to capture a child’s natural curiosity and to develop his/her potential as a lifelong learner. Our educational goals are based on our thoughtfully planned recognition of what the parents need for their children and what children need to succeed. Our Philosophy Each child carries tremendous potential within. Our goal at Star Academy is to gently lead each child to realize their innate potential at the highest degree. We teach children to problem solve, develop their social skills, and to steer their natural curiosity toward true knowledge. We strive to accomplish this through:

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

Attendee Introductions All in attendance introduced themselves. b. What is the PTA and what does it do? There are two key roles for the PTA: 1.) community building and 2.) fundraising to support programming for our kids. ● Building Community: We host great events that bring us together! They are lots of fun. Examples include the Halloween party (soon!), Rhythm and Rice, movie nights. We need helping hands for committees and events -- we all need to work together to make these events successful. ● Raising money to help the school: We are operating in a context of structural inequalities of funding as schools don't get enough from the city or state. We need to raise money in order to provide the programming we want for our kids. Our fundraising priorities for this year are: ○ Fund a large budget ○ Increase direct donations from families ○ Increase corporate donations ○ Reduce event fundraising fatigue ○ Spread the organizational duties by engaging more parents We want PTA meetings to be participatory and we aim for equitable participation. People should raise their hand if they want to talk we will keep the time allocated for each agenda items in mind. c. PTA Executive Team PTA Executive Team members present introduced themselves.

  • What Is It Like to Be an Immigrant Teacher in the Us Schools?
    WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE AN IMMIGRANT TEACHER IN THE U.S. SCHOOLS? THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE AND THEIR STRENGTHS By JEEHAE LEE (Under the Direction of KyungHwa Lee) ABSTRACT In spite of the increasing need for more teachers from similar cultural and linguistic backgrounds with English Language Learners in the U.S. schools, there has been little research on the experiences of immigrant teachers. Moreover, the majority of existing research studies of immigrant teachers were conducted outside the United States such as Australia, Canada, Great Britain, and Israel. Compared to these other countries, however, the United States has not been active in producing research on immigrant teachers and exploring the implications of this line of research for the field of teacher education. The purpose of this study is to examine the lived experiences of three multilingual and multicultural immigrant teachers as they work as certified teachers in the U.S. public schools. A phenomenological research methodology was used as a philosophical approach for this dissertation study. Phenomenology studies these experiences as experienced from the first person point of view. Phenomenological interviews, initial bridling statement and bridling journal entries were used for data collection of the study. For data analysis, the whole-part-whole analysis was used. This study found that the immigrant teachers experienced sociocultural challenges due to the cultural differences, prejudices, and their lack of cultural capital of the host society. The immigrant teachers coped with their challenges using educational resources (e.g., professional learning), religion, social networks, and personal dispositions (e.g., dealing with angry parents, conflicts with colleagues, and the lack of instructional support).
