  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

Standing in their way: a century of Jim Crow, a resistant and segregationist state, and a federal govern- ment slow to fully embrace equality. By organizing and marching bravely in the face of intimidation, violence, arrest and even murder, these change-makers achieved one of the most significant victories of the civil rights era. The 40-minute film is recommended for students in grades 6 to 12. The Viewer’s Guide supports classroom viewing of Selma with background information, discussion questions and lessons.

  • South Carolina Teaching Standards4.0 Handbook
    South Carolina Teaching Standards4.0 Handbook STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MOLLY M. SPEARMAN STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION To South Carolina Educators: We all know that educators make a real difference in the lives of students. South Carolina has been a national leader by having requirements for professional practice for decades. Over time, these requirements have evolved. The Expanded ADEPT Support and Evaluation System represents yet another step in the journey of improving our professional practice for the benefit of the students we serve. The Expanded ADEPT Support and Evaluation System is designed for the continuous professional development of educators at all performance levels through an evaluation system that is valid, reliable, and fair and produces actionable and constructive feedback in support of professional growth. To better support educators with specific feedback related to professional practice, the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) adopted the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) Teaching Standards 4.0 rubric. A working group of education stakeholders from across the state identified the NIET Teaching Standards 4.0 rubric as a tool that provides a common language for educator professional growth and development, providing relevant feedback that is necessary to build effective instructional leaders and college- and career-ready students. Implementation of the SC Teaching Standards 4.0 rubric will take place gradually, with training and preparation taking place in teacher preparation programs and districts prior to full implementation in 2018–19. Your role as an evaluator, trainer of evaluators, and district implementation leader is critical in the quality implementation of this tool within the larger evaluation system.

Based upon our firm belief that our greatest asset as a foundation is our network of grantees, we wanted to link together the many different organizations whose work we are now supporting as part of a broad collective to remove the racial barriers that limit opportunities for vulnerable children. Our intention is to ensure that our grantees and the broader community can connect with peers, expand their perceptions about possibilities for their work and deepen their understanding of key strategies and tactics in support of those efforts.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.
