Nearly every day <strong>7,000</strong> students leave schools around the country. The issues and distractions high school students deal with on a daily basis are overwhelming: family, jobs, peer pressure, studying/homework, violence in and out of the schools, extracurricular activities, teen pregnancy, and more!!</span><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="color: white;">We will be running four more weeks of GKE workshops at South Campus per attached schedule. Saturday workshops are mostly geared to students who attended the first 8 weeks of workshops this semester and will reinforce concepts already learned. As always, everyone is welcome to attend; however, material covered will be to address “gaps” from first 8 weeks. You can also attend the “open tutoring” workshops during the weekdays, and those are individualized tutoring per subject area. All are free.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">Please register to take the GKE as soon as possible. If you want to join BC’s Teacher Ed Program, you need to pass at least the Essay portion of the GKE; otherwise, you will not be able to join until you do. The Essay portion of the GKE substitutes the narrative requirement to join TEP.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #d9d2e9;">Keep up the good work with your classes!!! And don’t forget to register for Summer, all classes are open for registration.</span></strong>Kristyn R Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648218198953136169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528900661009331519.post-26622089338148976732010-03-02T08:26:00.000-05:002010-03-02T08:26:02.195-05:00TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM INFORMATION SESSIONS<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Attention all Education Majors:</span><br />

Watch your words: they become actions. Watch your habits: they become character. Watch your character: it becomes your destiny,” (author unknown). Those are the first words students encounter in Professor Judith Slapak’s classroom. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Slapak teaches Education courses and is also the Teacher Education Specialist for Title V at South Campus. Slapak started her education at Broward when it was still a community college, perhaps sitting in the very same seats as her students today. Slapak, who has been teaching for 18 years, was awarded this year’s South Campus Adjunct Professor of the Year Award.</span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">At age four, Slapak would sit her mom, grandma, grandma’s nurse and all her stuffed animals down and teach them lessons, just as she does with her students today. Slapak’s mom used to say that it didn’t matter if they wanted to hear the lesson or not: apparently, they had no choice. </span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Slapak proudly boasts that she has taught students from “almost every country in the world,” as well as every age group possible. Slapak says she understands students and she continuously reminds herself that she is one by constantly learning something new. Her greatest teacher she says, was her mom.</span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Slapak says her inspiration to practice what she preaches is from Confucius, “I hear and I forget. I see and I believe. I do and I understand.”</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">One lesson that proves her creativity and passion to teach is one she taught to ESOL students at Miami Dade College and English Language Learner students (ELLs). Slapak was born in another country and later came to the United States, so she knew how students may have felt. She wanted to find a way to make learning relevant and in one class she asked each student to bring in a fruit.</span></div><div><br /><span style="color:#cc6600;">Curious as to why they were bringing food to class, they did as they were told. The next class, Slapak came in with a big bowl and some knives. The class used fruit to learn “hands-on” their colors, shapes and how to answer “yes or no” questions. Once the lesson was learned, they turned their assignments into fruit salad and enjoyed the taste of their success.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Slapak wants students of all varieties to “never lose hope.” Many people may have had a rough start or “interruption” from their education, but like Slapak says, “Once you return, the past is the past, you can look forward to a bright future if you strive to do your best.”</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Crystal Gonzalez took Slapak’s class and she can see how she was awarded Adjunct of the Year: “She has such a great attitude about teaching. You can tell that she loves her job. She beams with excitement, which makes her students more into what she’s teaching and excited to learn. She is a great teacher and anyone would be lucky to have the chance to be taught by her,” Gonzalez said.</span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">According to Slapak, one of the greatest rewards is to have a past student see her in the halls and want to greet her.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Her constant commitment to teaching and making it relevant has not gone unnoticed. Slapak has been awarded a Classroom Research Award from the BC Will and Jo Holcombe Institute for Teaching and Learning Excellence and a certificate for “Outstanding Teaching” from MDC.</span></div><div><span style="color:#cc6600;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#cc6600;">Adjunct Professor of the Year is a welcomed addition to her collection of awards. With a sense of humor, Slapak jokes that one of the perks she is most looking forward to with this honor is her very own parking space, a space of her choice that she can keep for the upcoming school year. </span></div></div>Kristyn R Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648218198953136169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528900661009331519.post-11834593088588684522009-09-21T13:36:00.006-04:002009-09-21T13:44:37.595-04:00Student Success Workshop with Carl Edgecombe<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q6AAXfQWWno/Sre6yeqoUII/AAAAAAAAABA/ncSKu4h4gOQ/s1600-h/study_1.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383977255932809346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q6AAXfQWWno/Sre6yeqoUII/AAAAAAAAABA/ncSKu4h4gOQ/s400/study_1.gif" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Join us as we welcome Job Developer & Placement Specialist, Carl Edgecombe, for an evening workshop on study skills, test taking, and time management.</span> </strong><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000099;"><strong><span style="color:#ffffff;">Thursday: Sept. 24, 2009<br />5:00pm - 6:30pm<br />Building 17, Room 425</span><br /></strong></span><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><em><strong><span style="color:#33cc00;">Desserts will be served.</span><br /></strong></em><br /></span><span style="color:#009900;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff9966;">*** The first 25 students to arrive at the workshop will receive a FREE 2009/2010 FAU Student Academic Planner</span></strong><br /><br /></span></span><span style="color:#009900;"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></span>Kristyn R Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648218198953136169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528900661009331519.post-78583499664959947662009-08-31T12:13:00.005-04:002009-08-31T12:20:09.893-04:00Fall 2009 Kick-Off<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a2vD4hTGl7E/Spv3VskXPBI/AAAAAAAAAC0/-xigK_u4hLI/s1600-h/postcard.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376162532309810194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 424px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 336px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a2vD4hTGl7E/Spv3VskXPBI/AAAAAAAAAC0/-xigK_u4hLI/s400/postcard.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div>Professor Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16048563338404582982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528900661009331519.post-77375577447375735332009-05-21T12:14:00.002-04:002009-05-21T12:17:23.047-04:00Hello!Hello to all our Title V - Journey to Teaching Students.
