Further course information
Study plan
Master of Teaching students complete 96 credit points (cp). Full-time students enrol in 24cp in each semester. Students normally complete a combination of core education and curriculum and professional units of study and practicum placements. The first three full-time semesters of the Master of Teaching total 72 credit points. Once the 72 credit points have been achieved students undertake extensive work in our partner schools from the beginning of their final semester. For further information regarding the course structure, please "http://sydney.edu.au/education_social_work/future_students/postgraduate/mteach/primary_teaching.shtml">visit the Faculty of Education and Social Work website.
Progression rules
Candidates must successfully complete each unit of study to meet the course requirements and graduate with a teaching qualification. Except with the permission of the Dean, a candidate must complete all unit of study requirements specified for each year, before proceeding to the next year. Candidates must complete a minimum of 72 credit points in Education before completing the Internship and the Action Research Project and Conference in the final semester of the degree.
Capstone experience
Students undertake their internship of at least 40 days (usually 45 days) in a secondary or primary school or early childhood centre in the second semester in the second year of the program. Internship placements are approved by the Faculty, and students undertake their placements in the curriculum area(s) in which they are enrolled and are conditionally certified to teach. During the internship students are assigned to one or more mentor teachers, usually in a single discipline area and are responsible for teaching one or more classes for a total of between 14 and 17 lesson periods per week. The mentor teacher monitors the intern in their work in the school and, in discussion with the tertiary mentor, is responsible for writing a report on the internship that forms the basis of the assessment. Assessment is aligned with the NSW Institute of Teacher's Professional Teaching Standards for the Graduate Teacher.

Managers also were asked, "When you receive a resume electronically from a job candidate, how common is it for that resume to be accompanied by a letter of introduction or cover letter?" Their responses:
"Although the job application process has increasingly moved online, the importance of a cover letter shouldn't be underestimated," said Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam. "It often is the first opportunity to make a positive impression on hiring managers. It's also a chance to provide context for your resume, expand on key accomplishments and explain reasons for employment gaps or career changes."

Voter turnout for the Nov. 5 general election appears sluggish so far in Whatcom County, according to data provided by county Auditor Debbie Adelstein.
As of Friday afternoon, Nov. 1, the Auditor's Office had received 26,857 ballots out of the 126,950 sent to registered voters, or 21 percent.
Four days before Election Day in both 2009 and 2011, turnout was 26 percent, according to data provided by Adelstein. Final turnout in 2009 was 54 percent and in 2011 was 59 percent.
Secretary of State Kim Wyman predicted a turnout of 51 percent, in line with recent turnouts for off-year general elections statewide.
It's hard to draw conclusions about voter interest, Adelstein said, because every election has different races, initiatives and bond measures. The 2011 election included races for Bellingham mayor and county executive.
The ballot this year includes contested races for city councils, Whatcom County Council, the Bellingham School Board and Port of Bellingham; school and parks bonds; two statewide initiatives; and advisory votes on tax increases approved in 2013 by the state Legislature.
An unprecedented amount of money has gone into the County Council campaigns. Coal and conservation groups have funded independent campaigns because the council may decide whether to permit a coal export terminal at Cherry Point. Total spending on all four races was $893,362 as of Friday, Nov. 1.
Voters have until 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, to turn in their ballots at drop-box locations throughout the county. Voters also may mail their ballots but should do so no later than Monday, to ensure they are postmarked by the Tuesday deadline, Adelstein said.
Ballots may be turned in at the following drop-box locations:
-- Blaine Library, 610 3rd St.
-- Deming Library, 5044 Mount Baker Highway.
-- Everson WECU, 106 E. Main St.
-- Ferndale City Hall, 2095 Main St.
-- Lynden Library, 216 4th St.
-- Meridian Middle School, 861 Ten Mile Road.
-- Whatcom County Courthouse south parking lot, 201 Grand Ave., Bellingham.
-- WWU Bookstore, 501 High St., Bellingham.

Master of Teaching Arts
The Master of Teaching Arts (M.T.A.) program reflects the School of Urban Education's long-standing commitment to excellence in all areas of professional education. Specifically, the M.T.A. was developed to provide the opportunity to jointly study professional education and a specific academic discipline in the liberal arts or sciences. The M.T.A. program is not a degree program leading to initial teacher certification. Its purpose is to develop professional educators who are leaders in their communities, who demonstrate advanced knowledge and expertise in their academic subject area, and who actively advance the values of the American system of education.
M.T.A. students are required to complete a final research and/or capstone project as the core educational component of the program emphasizes the teacher as researcher—one who is able to locate, interpret, and incorporate the most recent social science and educational research into their field of study.
M.T.A. students master the central concepts of their chosen academic discipline, as well as develop the ability to think critically and speak and write clearly in the appropriate genres for their field of study. In addition, they have a foundation in the liberal arts and sciences that allows them to locate their subject area in the appropriate historical, social, and philosophical context. Students in this program are driven by a reasoned, justified, and articulated philosophy of education. They take seriously their role as citizens, servants, and leaders in our society. As a result, the coursework and faculty in the School of Urban Education help students develop the skills and dispositions for lifelong learning.
The M.T.A. is a cooperative program between the School of Urban Education and graduate programs in other university departments defined by the student's academic discipline. Students in this program are jointly advised by the Graduate Program Advisors in both the School of Urban Education and in the designated subject area.

Positano Overview:
Positano is one of Italy's most romantic and luxurious vacation spots. Built vertically on the face of a cliff, it started out as a fishing village and became popular with writers and artists in the 1950's. Today it's a fashionable resort yet still retains its charm. Positano is a pedestrian town (with many stairs) and its pretty pastel colored houses and flowers make it very picturesque. Because of its mild climate, it can be visited year round although high season is April - October.
Positano Location:
Positano is at the center of the famous Amalfi Coast south of Naples (see Amalfi Coast Map). Just across from the town are Le Galli islands, three islets believed to be the residence of the mythical Sirens from Homer's Odyssey.
Getting to Positano:
The closest airport is Naples (see Italy Airport Map). The best ways to get to Positano are by boat or by bus. The road leading to Positano is difficult to drive and parking, available above town, is very limited, although some hotels offer parking. Positano can be reached by bus from either Sorrento or Salerno, both of which can be reached by train from Naples. For train or driving details, see How to get from Rome to Amalfi Coast.
Ferries to Positano leave from Sorrento, Amalfi and Salerno although less frequently outside summer season (see TravelMar for schedules).
Transportation and Orientation:
The best way to get around is by foot as most of the town is a pedestrian zone. If you arrive by bus, you'll be near Chiesa Nuova at the top of Positano. Winding stairs, called the Thousand Steps, and the main street lead down through town to the beach. There's a bus along the one main street that you can take up or down the hill. Porters are available at the start of the pedestrian zone to help with luggage. From Positano it's possible to visit some villages, beaches, and countryside on foot. There are also car and water taxis for transport to nearby villages and beaches.
Positano has many high-end fashion boutiques and Moda Positano is a recognized fashion label. It's also a great place to buy sandals and footwear. Shoemakers can make shoes on request while you wait. Limoncello, a lemon alcoholic drink, is popular all over the Amalfi Coast. As there are many lemon trees on the Amalfi Coast, you'll find lots of things with lemons, including pottery decorated with lemons.
Where to Stay in Positano:
Palazzo Murat Hotel (book direct) is one of Positano's most romantic hotels. The 4-star hotel is in a historic building in the center of Positano and has views of town and the sea. For a lower price option, try the Hotel Pensione Casa Guadagno (book direct), very highly rated by users on Venere. For more Positano hotel choices with user reviews and photos see Positano Hotels on Venere (book direct).
Positano Attractions:
For a look at the sites, see James Martin's Positano Picture Gallery on Europe Travel.
- Swimming in the crystal clear waters and catching some sun on the beaches, both pebble and sand, are tops on the Positano to do list.
- By the seaside, you can shop or have a fantastic seafood meal along the Spiaggia Grande.
- Stroll along Via Cristoforo Colombo and enjoy the shops, luxury hotels, cafes, and fantastic views. The Scalinatella connects Punta Reginella on the shore with the highest part of Positano.
- The Church of Santa Maria Assunta has a beautiful majolica dome, visible from many places. Inside is an icon of the Black Madonna, painted in the 13th century in Byzantine style. Positano has many beautiful villas and palatial buildings and eight defense towers built in the 16th century.
- The island of Capri can be visited by ferry or on a tour boat.
- The Grotta la Porta cave where prehistoric remains were found is near Positano.
- There are good hiking opportunities from Positano, both along the coast and inland.
- From Positano you can visit other towns along the Amalfi Coast on the narrow but very scenic Amalfi Drive. Take a bus or taxi. Or take a boat ride along the coast if you prefer to travel by water.
- Positano is a good starting point for many Amalfi Coast guided tours including boat excursions, driving tours, and visits to archeological sites.

With Diamond Jubilee celebrations unfurling across the world, The Daily Beast has published a sweeping essay on the evolution of Queen Elizabeth II's relationship with the media, and pop culture. Here's an excerpt:
Like so much in British life—scones, soccer, the Battle of Agincourt—the story of the queen's relationship to pop culture comes in two parts. The first unfolds in a state of siege. In 1977 the Sex Pistols rhyme "queen" with "fascist regime" on "God Save the Queen," cut-and-pasting her image, ransom-note style, onto the cover. The BBC bans the record and it goes to No. 2 on the charts, marking a new low in public protocol toward the royals. A new era of pop-cultural plunder dawns. The queen is paraded in comic effigy by the makers of the TV show Spitting Image, flattened into a silk-screen by Andy Warhol, rugby-tackled by Leslie Nielsen in 1988′s The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, and mooned by Mike Myers in 2002′s Goldmember. Both comics are Canadians, citizens of the Commonwealth. Her Majesty is not—as they say—amused.
Then comes Diana, or more important, Elton John's rendition of "Candle in the Wind" at Diana's funeral: an unprecedented pop flourish amid the solemn protocols and processionals of Westminster Abbey. Diana leaves behind her two young princes, trailing iPods, iPads, and Nintendo game consoles around the palace. The queen's secretary lets it be known that Her Majesty is "addicted" to Nintendo, and when the movie The Queen comes out, she receives Stephen Frears, the director, and its star, Helen Mirren, for tea.

Your child comes home from school at 3:00, but you don't get home from work until 5:00. He's at home alone for those two hours every weekday. What does he do until you arrive? Most likely, he gets a snack or talks on the phone. Maybe he watches TV. But since you're not there, you worry. Just like the majority of American parents who work and have to leave their children on their own after school every day, you are anxious about your child's safety.
But by following the safeguards listed below, you can help ease some of this worry and take measures that will protect your kids even when you're not around.
Are there things you don't want your children to get into? Take the time to talk to them about the deadly consequences of guns, medicines, power tools, drugs, alcohol, cleaning products, and inhalants. Make sure you keep these items in a secure place out of sight and locked up, if possible.

The Rev. John J. Hunter, who last fall was abruptly reassigned from First African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest black church in Los Angeles, has been fired from his post at a San Francisco church.
"I hereby immediately relieve you of the pastoral charge of Bethel AME Church," Bishop Larry T. Kirkland wrote in a letter to Hunter dated Friday. "You will have no further contact with that congregation in an official capacity."

I just discovered one more useful thing about Google Apps – it's a great tool even for non-app users. This came into play recently at my church, when collaboration was required between several different people and groups, and of course, the pastor. Our roof needed replacing, and as a small congregation, we don't have much money. So strategy needed to be discussed, bids obtained, and decisions made. With this many people involved, several of them getting along in years, we realised that a few people would not be familiar with the more complicated computer functions.
We decided to use Google Apps and it worked like a charm. The interface is clean and simple, and the learning curve is almost non-existent. We were able to discuss our plan (try to repair the roof first; if that fails, then look toward a replacement), get professional estimates on the condition of the current roof as well as repair and/or replacement, and get input from other churches in the surrounding area. With the people on the roof task force living in different towns, I don't think this could have been accomplished any easier than it was by using Google Apps.
Another advantage is that outside vendors who contacted us didn't need to mail anything. A simple e-mail or scanned document and we could have it instantly, safely, and store it in the cloud where everyone on the task force had access to it. This made reviewing information and comparing bids extremely easy. Google Apps saved the day for our little church.

Across America, 66% of us admit we do it…..We read in the bathroom. So celebrate, it's National Bathroom Reading Month! Wild Bill has some great restroom reads.
News with a Twist
Wild Bill Celebrates – – National Bathroom Reading Month!
2 Comments to "Wild Bill Celebrates – – National Bathroom Reading Month!"
For me, Wild Bill's bathroom reading segment at Maple Street Books was unwatchable and uncomfortable. While I appreciate the idea of bathroom reading suggestions – there were way too many cuts to the dismal and univiting bathroom – and stack of books sitting by the bowl. I think in this situation just suggesting the books for our comode reads would have served the story and the store better. Ever your faithful NWAT watcher.

The Cullman Times
The end of 2012 could've been a bit nicer to the West Point girls basketball team.
With a 44-35 home victory over Holly Pond on Friday, it appears 2013 is off to a much better start.
Madison Rusk carried her squad with 17 points in the paint and Kari Williams pitched in 11 to help the Warriors upset Class 3A's No. 6 ballclub in impressive fashion.
"It was a great way to start the year," West Point coach Regina Jones said. "We played two really good games last week when we got out for Christmas, and they picked up where they left off, so I was proud of them."
Jones was pleased to see timely contributions from one her smallest players on the court in Williams, as well as her tallest in Rusk. Williams carried the weight in the first half with nine points, and Rusk dominated the second with 13.
Every time the Broncos tried to close the gap late, Rusk was there with an answer, closing the door on a comeback by the Warriors' county rival.
"Our teammates look for her, and she does help us out inside," Jones said. "They knew to get the ball to her when she was scoring."
As memorable as the night was for West Point, Holly Pond will surely want to forget it in a hurry. The Broncos only mustered two points in the first quarter, missed their fair share of layups and inside shots and had their press picked apart by the Warriors' offense all night.
Taylor Terry shone for Holly Pond by leading all scorers with 20 points — she had all nine of the team's fourth-quarter points — but the Broncos received little help from anyone else. Meg Gambrill added six points, Natasha Holcombe was limited to four, Kaitlyn Stephens was good for three and Taylor Rowell had two.
After opening the season 14-2, highly ranked Holly Pond has dropped two of its last three contests heading into next Monday's road game against Good Hope.
While the Broncos (15-4) battle through their recent slide, the Warriors are trending slightly upward. They've improved to 7-9 with wins in their last two games.
Behind Rusk and Williams in scoring were Rachel Persall with five points, Alex Baggett and Mallory Walker with four apiece and Jamie Beasley with three.
"We struggled a little bit early, but we emphasized keeping positive and getting better every game," Jones said. "And the girls really have. We're hitting some shot now that we didn't hit earlier in the season."
West Point will host Fairview on Tuesday.
Varsity boys
% Holly Pond 66, West Point 51: Once the sixth-ranked Broncos turned on the jets, they sure were hard to slow down.
Austin Smith and Colby Adams led the way with 14 points each, and Gunter Morris had an inspired 12-point performance in a game Holly Pond literally ran away with in the second quarter. The Broncos (14-4) created multiple turnovers and took advantage of the ensuing fast-break baskets to pull ahead after the Warriors (13-6) had brought the score within a single point.
"We feel great on the fast break," Morris said. "When we're going good, nobody's going to stop us."
Holly Pond was without head coach Mitch Morris, who was released from the hospital only two hours before gametime after being admitted over the holiday break. Some teams would struggle in similar situations, but the Broncos never missed a beat.
"I haven't seen him all week, so I knew I had to do something for him," said Gunter, Coach Morris' son.
Holly Pond's Jacob Cahoon ended the night on a strong note with eight of his nine points in the fourth quarter. Vince Clingman looked sharp with six points, Cody Jones, Carter Hays and Blane Black all had three points, and Ben Wilson posted two.
The loss overshadowed a superb shooting night by West Point's Kris Keller, who wound up with 17 points. Wesley Smith was next in line with 12.
Other Warrior contributors were Jordan McKenzie and Tristan Dubberly, six points apiece; Nick Nuss, five; Austin Ray, three; and Ryder Jones, two.

Finger-pointing. Allegations of fraudulent inducement. He said, he said.
Welcome to the Clippers vs. Mike Dunleavy.
The latest curious twist in the battle between the Clippers and owner Donald Sterling and the team's former coach-general manager took a wild turn last week when the Clippers, trying to halt Dunleavy's arbitration claim, alleged that Dunleavy fraudulently induced the Clippers into entering an employment agreement.

Beacon Journal readers are all over the board in their opinions of the Pocket Hose.
When we asked readers to weigh in on the products we tested for today's Does It Work? feature, we got eight responses about the collapsible hose.
Some liked it. Others felt they'd gotten soaked.
Gary Burg of Medina was pleasantly surprised by the hose's performance and noted that Consumer Reports gave it a good review. Sue Fuller of Wadsworth and James Edmiston of Akron also submitted positive feedback.
Other readers had a different take.
Gwen Weber of Green, Mia Burns Lewis of Hudson and Meg Hopp of Akron all shared the same experience: The plastic knob that turns the water on and off broke off after only one or two uses.
For Lewis, it happened when she was trying to shut off water that was spraying back toward her from the end of the hose. "It would have made for a great 'Funniest Home Video' entry," she said.
Carol Dolney of Stow and Dolores Shea of Norton both experienced leaks with their Pocket Hoses. Dolney even exchanged hers, and the second hose leaked, too.
Shea's hose had so many leaks the first time she used it that it "would have made a good soaker hose," she said.
We also got an earful about the WaxVac.
James Weibrecht of Lake Township, Pat Anthony of Ravenna Township and Steven Steidl of Barberton all found the ear cleaner to be useless on earwax.
Anthony called the advertising "bait and switch." "It only vacuums up water, not wax," Anthony wrote. "I was not able to see any debris from the so-called cleaning when I opened the device as instructions say."
To Steidl, the product was "crap," a word he used twice to describe it. "This product would not suck a piece of lint out of your ear," he wrote.
We also heard from Clinton resident Krystal Erks, who loves Wraptastic dispensers.
"I can finally control my plastic wrap," she wrote. "I have no trouble with the cutting edge, and they fit in my drawer. I think I'm going to order two more."

Industry-First PR:Initiative Program Generates Enthusiastic Response from Running Community
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 30, 2014
The ElliptiGO Project, whose mission is to make runners faster through innovation, today announced their PR:Initiative (PR:I) had received hundreds of applications and was now underway with 130 participants. In partnership with Greg McMillan and the McMillan Running staff, program participants have received their free training programs and will follow their personal ElliptiGO-integrated training schedule with the goal of setting a PR this fall. Any new customers who bought a new ElliptiGO as part of the PR:I but do not set a PR will have the option of returning their ElliptiGO and having their entire purchase price and shipping costs refunded. This risk-free offer for consumers and industry-first guarantee generated a huge response among runners looking to get faster and reduce their likelihood of injury.
We were really excited to hear from so many dedicated runners who wanted to put the ElliptiGO to the test, said Bryan Pate, Co-Founder of ElliptiGO. In the end, we were only able to accept 130 participants in order to provide personal coaching and training plans for all of them. Over the past several years, weve received countless testimonials from runners who have been able to stay healthy and run faster by integrating the ElliptiGO into their training, and thats what gave us the confidence to make this guarantee. Were looking forward to seeing the results of this effort in the fall.
Over the next several months, Founder and Head Coach of McMillan Running, Greg McMillan, and his staff will work with each participant to help them incorporate the ElliptiGO into their training in a meaningful way. McMillan has a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology and has been called, one of the best and smartest distance-running coaches in America, by Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon Champion and Editor at Large at Runners World.
The personalized training plans weve created for these runners will show them how to get the most out of their ElliptiGOs and themselves by helping them avoid injury and improve performance, said McMillan. Right now, new customers report running an average of 42 miles per week, while current ElliptiGO customers average 27 miles per week. That means that many people will be running less in their training than theyre used to, and were excited to demonstrate how running less and cross-training more can help them stay healthy and turn in their best performance on race day.
The most popular race distance among participants in the PR:I is the marathon with 53% of runners selecting that distance for their goal race. Another 25% selected a half marathon, with the remaining 22% selecting 10Ks, 5Ks, and Ultramarathon distances.
Weve seen this approach work with everyone from elite athletes like Meb Keflezighi to recreational runners, so its great to have a large and dedicated group to really put this training methodology to the test, stated Pate. The clock doesnt lie, so well all know whether or not this new training program made someone faster on race day. Worst case scenario, the participants will get free coaching and free use of an ElliptiGO. More likely though, theyll get faster and have found a new way of training thats sustainable in the long-term.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is worried about rising gas prices, fearing they could reach more than $4 by the end of April. Commuters are also starting to pay more attention, particularly with an ongoing debate in both Virginia and Maryland related to increasing gas taxes.
"I am extremely concerned by recent reports that oil and gasoline prices continue to rise and gas could reach an average of $4.25 a gallon by April," McDonnell stated in a release Tuesday.
According to the release, "The average price for a gallon of gas has recently topped $3.53 a gallon, up 25 cents since January 1, and up from $3.17 a gallon a year ago."
If gas does in fact hit $4.25 a gallon by May, that would break the July 2008 record of $4.11, says the Washington Post.
Elsewhere, customers paying $5 a gallon for gas isn't unheard of. The Washington Times reports that an Exxon Station near the Watergate Hotel is selling midgrade and premium gas for more than $5.
The Virginia State Senate has proposed to raise the state gas tax with the rate of inflation in hopes to find funding for transportation projects, the Post reports, but opposition from the House could hold the plan back.
The reasons for the increases may include warm temperatures to unrest in the Middle East, according to McClatchy reports.

The Clippers unveiled their splashy new red, white and blue basketball floor at the Sports Arena for Tuesday night's exhibition game against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Clippers looked as if they should be playing instead in a pick-up game on an asphalt court with chain link nets as they shot only 20% and trailed by 14 points at the end of the first quarter. But they displayed the same determination that earned them their first playoff berth in four seasons last season year by embarrassing the Hawks in the second half.
