  • Hello, Education Insiders! Every Friday Stand for Children Oklahoma
    Hello, Education Insiders! Every Friday Stand for Children Oklahoma will share with you what’s happening under the dome at 23rd and Lincoln in regards to all K-12 education legislation. If you have any questions, please contact our operations coordinator, Amy Stinnett, at [email protected], or Gwendolyn Caldwell, our government affairs director, at [email protected]. If you’d like to join us as a strong voice for education this session, please visit http://stand.org/oklahoma/ to see how you can help each child in Oklahoma receive a world-class education. Last week we asked our first Insider Trivia Question, and we got a winner! The question was: How many bills were we left with after the last deadline? The answer: 699. Our winner: Leslie Blair! By now, she’s probably reading (and hopefully enjoying) the book we mailed her, The Smartest Kids in the World, a New York Times bestseller by Amanda Ripley. Thanks for participating, Leslie! State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee and House Appropriations and Budget on Education Committee on Wednesday to present the State Department of Education’s budget. The teacher shortage remained a key focal point as she addressed the budget challenges the state agency faces. She said we are already short 1,000 teachers and an anticipated budget cut would only serve to drive up that already crippling number. A 2 percent cut, she said, would translate to 1,781 missing teachers while a 4 percent cut would equal 2,810 teachers short. In light of this teacher shortage, Superintendent Hofmeister remains determined to increase our teacher pay along with instructional days – what’s been dubbed her #OKhigh5 plan – gradually over the next five years.

  • Jane Jayroe-Gamble She Overcame Her Fears and Shyness to Win Miss America 1967, Launching Her Career in Media and Government
    Jane Jayroe-Gamble She overcame her fears and shyness to win Miss America 1967, launching her career in media and government Chapter 01 – 0:52 Introduction Announcer: As millions of television viewers watch Jane Jayroe crowned Miss America in 1967, and as Bert Parks serenaded her, no one would have thought she was actually a very shy and reluctant winner. Nor would they know that the tears, which flowed, were more of fright than joy. She was nineteen when her whole life was changed in an instant. Jane went on to become a well-known broadcaster, author, and public official. She worked as an anchor in TV news in Oklahoma City and Dallas, Fort Worth. Oklahoma governor, Frank Keating, appointed her to serve as his Secretary of Tourism. But her story along the way was filled with ups and downs. Listen to Jane Jayroe talk about her struggle with shyness, depression, and a failed marriage. And how she overcame it all to lead a happy and successful life, on this oral history website, VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 8:30 Grandparents John Erling: My name is John Erling. Today’s date is April 3, 2014. Jane, will you state your full name, your date of birth, and your present age. Jane Jayroe: Jane Anne Jayroe-Gamble. Birthday is October 30, 1946. And I have a hard time remembering my age. JE: Why is that? JJ: I don’t know. I have to call my son, he’s better with numbers. I think I’m sixty-seven. JE: Peggy Helmerich, you know from Tulsa? JJ: I know who she is.

  • Can't Turn Me Around
    CAN’T TURN ME AROUND: AN ORAL HISTORY PLAY by Julie Pearson Little Thunder This play is based on interviews conducted by Dr. Tanya Finchum and Juliana Nykolaiszyn for the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at Oklahoma State University. It includes first person accounts from nine of the forty-six women in the interview series, who served in the Oklahoma Legislature from 2007-2010. Classroom curriculum and specific lessons are also included in the interview collection. To access written transcripts or audio interviews, go to https://library.okstate.edu/search-and-find/collections/digital- collections/wotol/women-legislators/ This is a public domain play. No royalties are required for performances so long as they are given free of charge. However, any public performance must include a program acknowledgement of the playwright. 1 A NOTE ABOUT STYLE This is a presentational play which can be done Reader’s Theater style or as a memorized performance. Posture, voice and various costume elements such as scarves and jackets can be used to indicate the change from actor to character and vice versa. Because this play relies upon these transitions for its theatrical effect, and to emphasize the fact that the women legislators lines are quotes from their interviews, I distinguish between actors and interviewees by listing one or the other first. For example: Actor #3/LAURA BOYD means the actor starts as herself and then presents Boyd. When the notation is reversed, LAURA BOYD/Actor #3, Boyd gets the emphasis. https://library.okstate.edu/search-and-find/collections/digital- collections/wotol/women-legislators/ 2 CAST OF CHARACTERS Bernice Mitchell and Hannah Atkins/Actor #1 (African Americans) Lisa Johnson Billy/Actor #2 (Native American, Chickasaw) Laura Boyd/Actor #3 (white) Audience member/Actor #4 (white) Kathleen Wilcoxson/ Actor #5 (white) Betty Boyd/Actor #6 (white) 3 ACTOR #3 This is how Bernice Mitchell started out in politics.

Certainly not the handful of people who started a small discussion group in the fall of 2003. That little group grew by word-of-mouth to nearly double attendance at every meeting for the first few months. The Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium has grown to over 800 members representing more than 200 companies. And, this was all accomplished through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. What started in Oklahoma City as a grassroots effort, kicked into high gear during the summer of 2004, when business leaders and educators from Tulsa and Oklahoma City gathered for a strategic planning session in Stroud, Oklahoma.
