Athens Academy Middle School Social Studies Teacher (6Th Grade) Athens Academy Middle School Social Studies Teacher (6th grade) The School: Athens Academy is a co-educational, non-sectarian, independent college preparatory day school of approximately 935 students in grades K3-12 that offers a traditional liberal arts curriculum and innovative approaches to teaching and learning. The school’s mission is to seek “excellence with honor in the educational and personal experience of each student.” Situated on a picturesque campus of 152 acres, Athens Academy admits students from diverse social, economic, religious, and racial backgrounds--all of whom benefit from a challenging academic program, a vibrant arts program, competitive athletics, and a variety of service opportunities. Athens Academy faculty and staff members are dedicated professionals who are not only experts in their respective fields of study, but are also sensitive to the gifts and challenges of individual students. The Middle School: Recognizing that Middle School students are in a rapid mental, emotional, and physical growth stage of life, Athens Academy emphasizes responsibility, creativity, independent thinking, personal values, and service to others. Middle School students (grades 5-8), begin to master broader and more rigorous aspects of learning that include written expression, vocabulary, problem-solving, research, scientific investigation, and teamwork. An emphasis on critical and creative thinking runs throughout the curriculum. Opportunities for public speaking, performing, publication, and athletic competition complement the challenging academic program. The Position: Athens Academy seeks a dynamic, creative, and versatile Middle School social studies teacher, beginning in the 2020-2021 school year. Essential characteristics include love of children, energy, optimism, flexibility, the ability to work with others, a good sense of humor, and a firm foundation in social studies education. We are looking for someone who is excited to become a part of our community and who enjoys and understands the middle school learner. The ideal candidate will convey a love of learning and instill in our students a curiosity about our world and the desire to apply what they learn to other disciplines and the world around them. Assignments will include social studies instruction in 6th grade while also working to support the Middle School team with activities ranging from carpool and lunch duty to involvement in learning team meetings. While not required, coaching or club sponsorship experience is always valuable in an independent school community.

These estimates were used to calculate a nondimensional number that represents the proportion, or percentage, of predicted larval fish in the EEZ that were potentially exposed to oil from the Deepwater Horizon incident. The proportion exposed is a function of the 'production schedule' of the population, the location and timing of that productivity, and the spatio-temporal distribution of surface oil. Introduction The Deepwater Horizon Incident remains the largest oil spill in a marine environment in United States history. Vast quantities of oil and other contaminants were discharged into the northern Gulf of Mexico from late April to mid-July in 2010.

  • Everybody Loves Raymond” Let’S Shmues--Chat
    THANKSGIVING WITH THE CAST OF “EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND” LET’S SHMUES--CHAT The Yiddish word for “turkey” is “indik.” “Dankbar” is the Yiddish word for “thankful.” By MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE 46 “milyon” turkeys are eaten each Thanksgiving. Turkey consumption has increased 104% since 1970. And 88% of Americans surveyed by the National Turkey Federation eat turkey on this holiday. Marie Barone (Doris Roberts) is devoted to making sure her boys are well-fed. She gets her adult children back with food. It’s like a culinary hostage trade-off. Marie wants Debra, her daughter-in-law, to be a better cook. She calls her “cooking-challenged” and thinks that she should live directly opposite Zabar’s. Marie want the children to have better food. She says, “A mother’s love for her sons is a lot like a dog’s piercing bark: protective, loyal, and impossible to ignore. Many episodes of “Everybody Loves Raymond” dealt with Thanksgiving. Grab a #2 pencil and see if you can identify which of the following story lines is real or fabricated. Good luck. EPISODE 1. Thanksgiving has arrived. Marie is on a “diete.” She has just returned from a residential treatment facility for weight (“vog”) loss at Duke University in North Carolina. It was an expensive (“tayer”) program. The lockdown began: Low-Fat, No-Sugar (“tsuker”), No Taste foods, and 750 calories a day. (That’s the equivalent of a slice of chocolate cake.) One woman in the program sent herself “Candygrams” each week (“vokh”). Doris eats very little (“a bisl”) at the Thanksgiving table, but as she is preparing to leave Debra’s house, she asks for a little leftover turkey and apple (“epl”) chutney.

  • FROM the OFFICE of the CHANCELLOR REV. BENEDETTO J.J. PARIS ANNULMENTS--CONCERNS and QUESTIONS--PART I: Because of the Many Ques
    FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR REV. BENEDETTO J.J. PARIS ANNULMENTS--CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS--PART I: Because of the many questions and concerns that have been raised concerning the annulment process, I would like to use my column to occasionally address some of these issues and hopefully clear up any misunderstandings that some may have about this very important ministry in the Church. Many of the priests have addressed me with their inquiries about the annulment process. For example, one of the questions is: Why does the process take so long? One of the reasons is that we need much information to process and annulment. For example, on the Annulment Application, it states that the tribunal needs certified or notarized civil copies of every marriage license and divorce decree as well as a baptismal certificate for the Catholic parties only. Sometimes, we receive an incomplete application, and of course, we have to send a letter to the Petitioner (the one who applies for the annulment) informing him or her that they have not sent enough information for us to begin looking at the case. If you are working with a person who is in need of or desires and annulment, please insure that these documents are a part of the application. It states on the opening page of the application that these materials must be sent all together at once and then it implores the Petitioner to not send an “incomplete case.” If it is possible, the Petitioner must also send a fee of $200. What this is used for is to offset some of the expenses that are incurred in processing the annulment.

It’s the feeling that comes from an unexpected discovery in CA Labs, the chorus of friendly faces in the new house common rooms, or instructors from two disciplines working together to develop and teach a new course. It is the spark of encouragement that illuminates a new path, or a lifelong pursuit — a spark that, fanned by tremendous support over these past few years, is growing into a blaze. At Concord Academy we feel that momentum every day, in the power of students, teachers, and graduates to have a positive impact on their peers and to shape their world. It’s an irresistible energy that stems from the values we embrace as an institution, driven forward by the generosity of our benefactors.
