Three Cups of Tea
See How They Shine
We Americans need to learn from our mistakes, from the flailing, ineffective way we, as a nation, conducted the 'war-on-terror' after the attacks of 9/11, and from the way we've failed to make our case to the moderate, peace-loving majority of people at the heart of the Muslim World. If we want to heal the wounded relationship between Islam and the West, we have to learn how to wage peace as aggressively as we wage war.
—David Oliver Relin
For two decades, award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has focused on reporting social issues and their effect on children, both in the U.S. and around the world. In his bestselling and award-winning book, Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time (2007), Relin tells the stirring tale of Greg Mortenson, an American mountain climber and nurse who becomes an unlikely champion of education through the accidental relationship he developed with a remote village in Pakistan while recovering from a failed attempt to summit K2. Through this incredible account of humanitarian endeavor, Mortenson and Relin offer hope by suggesting that collaborative efforts to alleviate poverty and improve access to education in Pakistan and Afghanistan — particularly for girls — can be one of the most effective means of countering Islamic extremism in the region.
Relin is a graduate of Vassar and was awarded the prestigious Teaching/Writing Fellowship at the Iowa Writer's Workshop. After Iowa, he received a Michener Fellowship to support his groundbreaking 1992 bicycle trip the length of Vietnam. He spent two additional years reporting about Vietnam while based in the nation's former imperial capital. In addition to Vietnam and Pakistan, he has traveled to and reported from much of East Asia. He has been a Contributing Editor for Parade and over the years he has won dozens of national awards for his work as both an editor and investigative reporter.
Relin's next book chronicles the work of two doctors doing groundbreaking surgeries to cure cataract-related blindness in the developing world. See How They Shine is slated for publication by Random House in 2011.

Members of the freshmen class have all received copies of Three Cups of Tea and Mr. Relin will do a book signing in the Athenaeum lobby after his talk. Freshmen are automatically signed up for this dinner, so please contact the Athenaeum (ext. 18244) to cancel if you are unable to attend. Overflow seating with a live video feed will be available in McKenna Auditorium. David Oliver Relin's visit to campus is sponsored by the office of the President, the Dean of Students, and the Athenaeum.
Swimming Back from Paralysis
When Dick Rosenthal retired as athletic director in 1995 after a lifetime of service to the University of Notre Dame, he was asked about the most memorable moment during his tenure. Without hesitation, the chief of sports at America's most storied university replied, "Haley Scott." When the Notre Dame women's swim team suffered a fatal bus crash, the lives of those on the bus, their families, and the community were changed forever. Paralyzed after the accident, Haley Scott was told she would never walk again. That was unacceptable to her. With the help of those who cared most about her - her family, her school and her teammates - she chose a different fate and promised not only to walk, but to swim again for the Fighting Irish.
In 1992, Haley Scott DeMaria was a freshman and a member of the Notre Dame women's swim team when the bus carrying the team home from a meet overturned in a snow storm. The fatal accident left Haley paralyzed from the waist down. After two emergency surgeries, Haley was told she would never walk again. Over the next several months, Haley endured hours of exhausting physical therapy, painful setbacks, and three additional life-threatening surgeries. Throughout her physical and emotional trials, her family, her teammates, Notre Dame and the swimming community were invaluable assets to her healing. In October 1993, Haley returned to Notre Dame's swim team, competing again for the Fighting Irish.
Haley Scott DeMaria graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a bachelors degree in history, returned to her high school alma mater in Phoenix, Arizona, to teach and coach swimming. She has received several national awards as a result of her inspiring recovery; including the inaugural Gene Autry Courage in Sport Award (1994), Women of Distinction (1994) National Institute for Sport Fellow (1995), and the Honda Award for Inspiration (1995). In June 2008, Haley published What Though the Odds — Haley Scott's Journey of Faith and Triumph to chronicle her journey of how one learns to live with tragedy and to embrace and celebrate the lessons of healing.
CMS swim coach Charlie Griffith heard Haley Scott DeMaria speak at the College Swimming Coaches Association Convention in Baltimore this spring and was instrumental in convincing her to come to Claremont McKenna. Coincidentally, Haley's father, Stephen Scott, graduated from Claremont Men's College in 1966 and played baseball under coach Bill Arce.
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
Brahms in His Final Years
GARY BOVYER, clarinet
ROGER LEBOW, cello
ROBERT THIES, piano
The ever self-critical Brahms had reached the point by 1890 where he felt that his composing days were over. His intentions were to complete some unfinished works, and consign the rest to the flames. However, a performance by the clarinetist Richard Muhlfeld (1856-1907) rekindled his desire to compose. The result was a series of works featuring the clarinet: the Clarinet Trio Op. 114, the Clarinet Quintet Op. 115, and the two Clarinet Sonatas of Op. 120.
Suffering from cancer, perhaps Brahms, in his final years, was suffused with the concept of his own oncoming doom, spurred on by the deaths of his sister Elise, Elizabeth von Herzogenberg, Hermione Spies, his brother Fritz, Theodor Broth, and his dearest friend - Clara Schumann. All these close friends and relatives died between 1892 and 1896, and Brahms died in spring of 1897. The timbre of the clarinet, with its similarity to the human voice, makes it a plangent instrument with which Brahms could express his final sigh of resignation before the void.
Tonight we feature two of these works, the Clarinet Trio, Op. 114, and the Clarinet Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 120 no. 2. Joining pianist Robert Edward Thies are two friends and both faculty members at the Claremont Colleges, clarinetist Gary Bovyer, and cellist Roger Lebow. Robert Thies is a Steinway Artist and the piano for tonight's performance is provided courtesy of Steinway & Sons, West Hollywood.

An Evening with Michael Eisner
Michael Eisner is the former chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company and co-author, with Aaron Cohen, of Working Together: Why Great Partnerships Succeed (2010).
Eisner is credited with successfully transitioning Disney from struggling film and theme park business to multi-billion-dollar global media conglomerate. In Working Together, Eisner explores nine successful corporate partnerships and why they worked, using his strong partnership with Frank Wells as an example. Other pairs include baseball's Joe Torre and Don Zimmer, financiers Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger, and restauranteurs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken.
Mr. Eisner began his career at ABC, moving up the ranks to the position of senior vice president of programming and development. Under his tenure, ABC moved to number one in primetime, daytime, and children's programming. After ABC, Eisner was named president and CEO of Paramount Studios for eight years, then served as chairman and CEO of Disney for 21 years. In 2005, Eisner founded a media and entertainment investment firm called The Tornante Company. Additionally, he is the host of Conversations with Michael Eisner on CNBC.
Michael Eisner's appearance at CMC is sponsored by the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum in collaboration with the Drucker Business Forum. Books will be available for sale and signing immediately after the discussion.
Mountains and Rocks
RECEPTION 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.
This academic year, the Athenaeum will be enveloped in a world of watercolor as the paintings of James Fuller, Professor Emeritus (ret.) at Scripps College will be hung on the walls of Security Pacific Dining Room. The collection, titled "Mountains and Rocks," depict landscapes, rocks, and streams that inspired Fuller around Claremont, the Sierras, Lompoc, and other locales. The pieces featured at the Athenaeum have all been painted in the last few years and will be making their public debut.
Fuller grew up in North Dakota and attended Chaffey College to earn his undergraduate degree. During this time, Fuller took his first art class at Scripps College and fell in love. He continued studying art at Berkeley and eventually earned his M.A. in fine arts. He began teaching at California State University Los Angeles, University of California-Davis, and eventually ended up back at Scripps College in 1966. Fuller's earlier work was more contemporary and included a variety of mediums including oils, sculpture and print-making.
These days Fuller has taken to walking into nature and painting anything inspirational. "It's a process, painting, making myself being there in that place...finding out what that place is," says Fuller. "If the painting is well enough formed, there's a chance of communicating that place to the observer." Watercolor has become his medium of choice. "It's this crazy watercolor. It's a strange medium putting little puddles of paint on paper to make an image. Seems like a strange process to me," he said. This curiosity about the medium has driven and inspired James Fuller to create beautiful, light, and sweeping artwork that shows an appreciation for the natural world. His art will create a stunning backdrop for the Athenaeum speakers throughout the year.
There will be about two dozen pieces on display in Security Pacific. An opening reception for the public debut of the work will take place on Friday, September 17th, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., and is open to the public.
Why Would A Global Industry-Leading Leveraged Buyout Firm Suddenly Go Green?
Ken Mehlman is a Partner and Head of Global Public Affairs at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co, LLP. Among other duties at KKR, he is responsible for pushing a green agenda for KKR companies and building internal resources for responsible investment. KKR's Green Program now includes 20% of its portfolio companies. As pointed out by Henry Kravis, founding Partner of KKR along with George Roberts, both CMC alumni, "The business case for environmental management has never been stronger. The Green Portfolio Program highlights that environmental performance and business performance can go hand-in-hand. We are very excited about the momentum to date and the fact that we have taken this effort global in such a short period of time". Mr. Mehlman will expand on this theme, explaining why KKR has become so committed so fast, and how the firm is implementing its commitment.
Before joining KKR, Ken was a Partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld where he helped businesses and individuals manage risk and seize opportunities at the nexus of business and public policy. Mr. Mehlman served as 62nd chairman of the Republican National Committee and campaign manager for President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign. Michael Barone, co-author of the Almanac of American Politics (1072), compared Mehlman's success to Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton's, particularly in their revolutionary approaches to identifying new customers and constituents. Mr. Mehlman also served in high level positions in Congress and the White House, including as White House political director during President George W. Bush's first term.
Mehlman received his B.A. from Franklin and Marshall College in 1988 and his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1991.
Mr. Mehlman is a trustee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Franklin & Marshall College and the Strong American Schools Foundation. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He also serves on the Council on Foreign Relations Climate Change Task Force, the Senior Advisory Committee of the Harvard University Institute of Politics, the board of directors at the National Endowment for Democracy and the executive leadership cabinet of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Foundation.
Ken Mehlman's visit is supported by the Roberts Environmental Center.

Whither North Korea?
Current developments in North Korea have their origins in the collapse of the Soviet Union and the great famine of the mid-1990s. A brief window of reform in the early 2000s gradually closed with the onset of the second nuclear crisis. With succession looming and the North Korean economy floundering, the leadership still faces the same dilemmas that it did in the early post-Cold War period: how to undertake reform and denuclearization while maintaining political control over an increasingly militarized state de facto market economy.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies and the Athenaeum are pleased to sponsor this lecture by distinguished scholar, Professor Stephan Haggard.
Stephan Haggard is the Lawrence and Sallye Krause Distinguished Professor at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He has written widely in the fields of international and comparative political economy, with a particular emphasis on Asia. He is the author of Pathways from the Periphery: The Political Economy of Growth in the Newly Industrializing Countries (1990), The Political Economy of Democratic Transitions (1995, with Robert Kaufman); The Political Economy of the Asian Financial Crisis (2000); and Democracy, Development and Welfare States: Latin America, East Asia and Eastern Europe (2008).
Haggard's research on North Korea with Marcus Noland includes Famine in North Korea: Markets, Aid and Reform (2007, preface by Amartya Sen) and The North Korean Refugee Crisis: Human Rights and International Response (2006). Witness to Transformation: Refugee Insights into North Korea (forthcoming 2010) is based on two surveys of North Korean refugees. They are completing a third volume on the political economy of North Korea, including the nuclear crisis, tentatively called North Korea Opens.
Prof. Haggard is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a Visiting Fellow of the Institute of International Economics, and has been a visiting scholar at the World Bank and the OECD. He has testified before Congress on the Asian financial crisis and on food aid to North Korea. His commentary on North Korea has appeared in a number of major media outlets, including Newsweek, The International Herald Tribune and The Washington Post and he comments frequently for the Voice of America.
Lunch with a Leader: The Economic Outlook for Asia in the "New" Global Economic Environment
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Kirby Daley is senior strategist with Newedge Prime Brokerage, Newedge Group (Hong Kong). As senior strategist and head of capital introductions (Asia) for Newedge Prime Brokerage, he services hedge fund managers and investors all over the Asia-Pacific region. He currently handles all of these duties out of the Newedge office in Hong Kong, where he has been since 2005.
After graduating from the University of Minnesota, Mr. Daley started his career as a trader for the special commodities division of Pillsbury Company in 1991. He made a move to Japan in 1993, where his work experience included broking Japanese commodity futures and dealing foreign exchange, before joining Newedge Group in Tokyo (formerly Finat Group and a joint venture between Societe Generale and Calyon) in 2001. At Newedge Group, Mr. Daley worked initially as a strategist in Tokyo and added the hedge fund capital introductions role in late 2002.
Mr. Daley is featured prominently in the media for his views on the global economy, markets, and politics, having had a regular Monday morning weekly spot on CNBC Asia (Asia Squawk Box) since early 2003, along with frequent appearances on CNN International, Bloomberg TV, Fox Business News, and the BBC.
During his presentation, Mr. Daley will discuss changes in the global economic environment and careers that might ensue in the coming years. This lecture is first in the Robert Day School Distinguished Speaker Series.
From the Ath to Africa: Two CMCers Share Their Decade of Experiences Abroad
Microfinance and electronic medical records have been buzzwords for the past few years, but CMC alumni Claudia (class of '99) and Mike (class of '00) McKay have been using these approaches to improve quality of life in Malawi.
Claudia McKay is a branchless banking and microfinance specialist at CGAP, a policy and research center at the World Bank dedicated to advancing financial access for low income people worldwide. Before that she worked for Opportunity International, including four years as the head of microfinance at their bank in Malawi.
Mike McKay, too, relies on novel technologies to help Malawians without access to one of that country's 260 doctors to receive HIV/AIDS treatment. He coordinated efforts by a team of Malawian software developers to digitize medical treatment information so that any literate individual could give basic treatment to sufferers of HIV/AIDS.
Many of the technologies that the McKays use are not even in use here in the United States. They expect these technologies to "leapfrog," being first implemented in third-world countries to solve crises there, and only then be adopted in the developed world. From their disparate experiences overseas, in finance and in medical software development, come interdisciplinary lessons about third-world development and about effecting change to improve lives around the world.
Fulbright Tea
ADAMS COURT; 3:00 to 4:30 p.m.
Immigration is a divisive and much-discussed political issue, but it is contentious not only in America. A winner of the prestigious Fulbright scholarship, which allows American students to travel abroad to teach after graduation, Evan Jaroff has studied the role of immigration in constructing children's identities in Spain during his year teaching in Madrid.
Evan Jaroff graduated from CMC in 2009, and he recently returned from a year in Madrid, Spain. Evan received a Fulbright Scholarship to teach in a bilingual, primary school, where he assisted in teaching English and Science classes to fourth and sixth grade students. As a side project, Evan photographed 14 students from a nearby secondary school and gathered their responses to six questions regarding their identities. Most of the students in his project were first or second generation Spaniards, which he hoped would give him a better understanding of how immigration has influenced contemporary, Spanish identity.
Evan's side project will be on display on Wednesday, and he will be present to discuss his Fulbright experience and answer any questions about the program or the application process.

Dalat is located in the south central highlands of Vietnam, sitting at an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level. Known unofficially as The City of Eternal Spring, Dalat also lays claim to the title of le Petit Paris.
Set in the Central Vietnam highland city of Dalat, the region was popularised by French occupation at the turn of the 20th century. Alexandre Yersin, a contemporary of the famed Louis Pasteur discovered and pioneered the location that is now known as Dalat in approximately 1897. With the cool European climate (the area sits at an altitude of 1500 metres above sea level) and the rolling mountainous, pine treed terrain, Dalat became the summer hill-station retreat for royalty and high society.
A scaled down version of the Eiffel Tower emerging from the city centre adds a certain Parisian feel, however it is the natural beauty of Xuan Huong Lake and the numerous examples of European inspired architecture and wide city streets that are really the centerpiece of this gorgeously romantic seductive city of 192,441 inhabitants.
Sited on approximately 35 acres of suburban parkland that forms its own unique compound, the area Ana Mandara Villas Dalat occupies was originally known as the 'Bellevue Quarter', a nod to the rich French influence. Striking views of the surrounding town, countryside and flourishing vegetable fields abound from all areas of the gently sloping hillside property.

The Khiro Drop-Through Shock Pads go between the trucks and the board to provide additional clearance for the skateboard wheels and prevent wheel-bite. Avoid eating the pavement! These Khiro Skateboards risers keep your wheels spinning freely and keep you planted firmly on your skateboard.
The Khiro Drop-Through Shock Pads are sold in a set of two unless otherwise noted.
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you may return it to Warehouse Skateboards within 30 days of your receipt date.
Check out the available skateboard riser pads currently in stock.
A riser is a flat plastic pad that can be mounted between the skateboard truck and the skateboard deck. Riser pads increase the space between the truck and deck, raising the board up so that you don't experience wheel bite. Wheel bite occurs when the wheel touches the skateboard deck during a sharp turn and stops the wheel from rotating. Riser pads come in a variety of colors and thickness levels. Depending on your skateboarding style, riser pads can prolong the life of your skateboard deck by reducing the risk for stress cracks where the deck and the trucks meet.
Skateboard decks that use wheels smaller than 55mm do not typically require risers; however, 1/8" risers can help keep the hardware from vibrating loose.
As the wheels get larger, there's a greater chance for wheel bite, which may cause a nasty wipeout. In general, the longer the board and the larger the wheel, the more height is needed in a riser pad.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Just need a little extra color for the favor boxes to make the wife to be happy. Got 'er done. They got bent during shipping a bit, though, so a more stout shipping container would have been good. Would recommend MagnetStreet to friends.
I LOVE the size!
These seals are much bigger than I anticipated, but I love that! I feel like that improves the already great value! It was so easy to change the monogram to fit and my fiance's and my initials, and being able to change the color to my wedding colors always makes it look like this was designed JUST FOR ME! I used the seals to close the plastic bags that my favor memo boards are in (also purchased on this site). I love that with MagnetStreet, you're able to purchase products that pull "double duty," and that is why I will continue to purchase from them!
These were bigger than I expected, which was great! They are easy to read and will definitely be a nice touch to add to the outside of the envelope!
Wonderful Seal
We used this seal to hold together the large vellum band that went around the Signature of Love pocket invitation. It was the perfect width to hold the band together and added a little flair of color on the back of the invitation. It was quick and simple to attach and expedited the assembly time. A great idea!
They're very big, much bigger than I thought they would be, but it's my own fault for not paying attention to the measurements provided so I'll have to cut them individually. If you want 2" squares, these are true to picture/color and will do the job.

Studying Teaching
I'm interested in studying teaching. What can you tell me?
Teaching is a field for people who want to influence their communities in positive ways. Teachers are responsible for educating students aged 5 to 18 in a range of academic and social skills so that they are prepared to be productive adults by the time they finish high school.
People are often drawn to teaching because they enjoy interacting with children and teens. But teachers also must be confident leaders who can maintain control of their classrooms. In addition, they must be able to follow the curriculum standards set by their state. So if you want to teach, you should prepare yourself to spend many hours each week planning lessons and assessing your students' work.
If you decide to pursue a teaching degree, you must meet several requirements. You must earn at least a bachelors degree in order to teach kindergarten through twelfth grade. In addition, you must complete a teaching program that is approved by your state in order to earn a teaching license. Finally, you must specialize in the particular subject area, or endorsement, that you want to teach.
Teacher Overview
What exactly is a teacher?
Teachers are professional educators who help students aged 5 to 18 to grow in knowledge and social skills. They design class curriculums by creating structured lesson plans that teach specific academic skills. They also assess their students' progress by grading assignments and exams. In addition to these responsibilities, teachers often coach sports or sponsor student clubs. Although the distinction between different levels of education is not always clear, teachers are generally classified according to the age of the students that they teach:
Elementary School Teachers
Elementary school teachers instruct students from kindergarten through fifth grade, or aged 5 to 11, by introducing basic academic subjects. They usually teach several subjects in a single classroom. Therefore, elementary school teachers often earn their teaching credentials through bachelors degree programs in elementary education instead of concentrating in a particular subject, like history, mathematics or biology.
Secondary School Teachers
Secondary school teachers work at the middle school and high school levels to teach students in the sixth through twelfth grades. Middle school teachers, who are sometimes referred to as junior high teachers, build on the skills that their students learned in elementary school and prepare them for high school. Their students are typically 12 to about 14 years of age. At the next level of education, high school teachers instruct 15- to 18-year-old students in a variety of subjects. Secondary school teachers usually earn a bachelors degree in the subject that they want to teach and earn teaching credentials through a state-approved teacher training program.
Personality Quiz
How do I know if teaching would be a good fit for me?
Here is a quick quiz to help you decide if you have the personality it takes to succeed as a teacher. Rate, on a scale from 1 to 5, how well each of the following statements describes you.
I like to work with young people.
Teachers spend most of their time working with children. If you do not enjoy interacting with young people, you will not make a good teacher.
I communicate using clear and concrete ideas.
Teachers introduce new concepts to students. You will need to use simple terms and clear examples so that young students can understand you.
I model positive social interaction.
Students often view their teachers as role models. If you want to be a teacher, you should be prepared to be an example of appropriate behavior inside and outside of the classroom.
I am a leader who is comfortable being in charge.
Teachers are authority figures. You must be confident in your words and actions in order to receive respect from your students.
I can think in unconventional ways.
It takes creativity to write a curriculum that interests students. If you are enthusiastic about new ideas, you may enjoy designing lesson plans and projects.
I can keep track of many things at the same time.
Time management is essential to good teaching. You will need to carefully budget your time in order to manage many children, tasks and classes simultaneously.
I am patient and willing to wait for results.
Students usually do not fully comprehend complex topics the first time that they are introduced. If you want to be a teacher, you will need to patiently repeat the same idea many times until students understand.
I stay calm when I am challenged or confronted.
Students sometimes act out in class for attention. You will need to stay composed and collected when you discipline students.
I enjoy interacting with people from different backgrounds.
Classrooms contain students with diverse cultural, religious and economic backgrounds. As a teacher, you will need to be comfortable working with students whose way of life is different than yours.
I like to learn about new ideas and theories.
Teachers are required to take continuing education credits in order to keep their teaching licenses valid. If you cannot commit to lifelong learning, teaching is not the best career for you.
*Note that this is not a scientific quiz. The result is simply my rough estimate of how well I believe your personality matches that of a successful teacher.
By my assessment, a career in teaching is probably not a good fit for your personality. Please go to the Admissions Advisor homepage for a listing of other careers you may want to consider.
By my assessment, although a career in teaching may not be an ideal fit for your personality, if you are willing to adapt in a few areas, you can still find success in the field. Please see the list to the right for information on the areas that you may need to work on.
By my assessment, your personality is a good fit for a career in teaching. Scroll through our site to gain valuable insight into what it will take you to earn the necessary credentials.
Making the Right Choice
Is there anything else I should consider in deciding if teaching is the right choice for me?
Before you devote yourself to teaching, you should consider the licensing regulations of your state.
Teaching License and Endorsements
If you plan to teach in a public school, you will need to earn a teaching license and at least 1 teaching endorsement. The exact requirements for a teaching license vary by state, so you should research your state's licensing procedures carefully. However, every state will require you to earn a bachelors degree and to complete a teaching program that includes a supervised student teaching practicum. You will also need to earn continuing education credits throughout your career to keep your teaching license valid.
In addition to your license, you must earn an endorsement, which specifies the subject that you are qualified to teach. If you want to teach elementary school, you need to earn a general elementary education endorsement. But if you want to teach secondary school, you need to earn a specialist endorsement, which means that you must choose a subject area to specialize in like mathematics, language arts or biology. Then you will have to pass at least 1 state exam that verifies your knowledge of your endorsement area.
Public Schools vs. Private Schools
Teachers mainly work in either public schools or private schools. The major teaching responsibilities are the same in either environment, but there are a few differences between the 2 workplaces that you should consider when you are deciding where to apply for a teaching job. For example, private schools charge tuition, so classes tend to be smaller than those in public schools. In addition, admission to private schools is selective, so students may be more motivated. However, many private schools are associated with certain religious values, so their administrators usually hire teachers who exhibit the same values. Finally, public school teachers tend to earn more money than private school teachers. And while public school teachers need to be licensed by the state, private school teachers do not.

In addition, vocational teachers should see about 9% growth and special education teachers are projected to experience 17% growth.
Education Requirements
How long would it take me to become a teacher?
It normally takes 4 to 5 years to become a teacher through the traditional route, which requires you to earn a bachelors degree and complete a state-approved teacher training program. Most teaching programs require students to complete supervised student teaching practicums of 1 to 2 semesters in order to be licensed.
However, many states also offer alternative routes to licensing, which are meant to entice people into teaching positions that are hard to fill, like advanced mathematics, physics and chemistry. Alternative routes allow people who have a bachelors degree in the field that they want to teach to work under a provisional license until they demonstrate effective teaching skills. These alternative programs typically take 1 to 2 years after earning a bachelors degree.
Areas of Study
What can I expect to learn while pursuing teaching?
As you pursue a degree in teaching, you will gain knowledge and skills that are unique to the subjects and the age group that you want to teach. But students in any teaching program will learn the following:
Curriculum Design
Curriculum design is the process of preparing the format, content and sequence of lessons. Courses in curriculum design discuss factors that teachers need to consider when planning lessons. Curriculum design will cover topics like how to set realistic goals for students, how to cover essential content on schedule, and how to use interesting learning materials and methods to add value to lessons.
Teaching Strategies
Teaching strategies are the methods of instruction that teachers use to present information. A variety of teaching strategies are used to help students who have different learning styles to understand course material. Some teaching strategies that educators frequently use include small group projects, lectures, class discussions and games.
Child Development
Child development refers to the way that children change as they grow into adolescents. Child development theories discuss how and when certain physical, emotional and intellectual changes should occur when children mature normally. In addition, child development covers the essential nutritional and environmental needs of healthy children.
Educational Psychology
Educational psychology studies how people learn and what factors motivate them to do so. It considers the different ways that students perceive, process and recall information. Modern educational psychology builds on the work of past researchers like John Dewey, Jean Piaget and Benjamin Bloom.
Instructional Technology
Instructional technology addresses the ways that teachers can use technology like computer software and the Internet to enhance student learning. Some common uses of instructional technology are the creation of blogs, PowerPoint presentations, online project collaboration and computer games that teach rote memorization skills like typing.
Classroom Management
Teachers of all age groups need strong classroom management skills in order to maintain control of their students and create a positive learning environment. Your teaching curriculum will help you to develop and implement age-appropriate strategies that promote the appropriate behavior of your students and constructively alter their negative behavior.
Time Management
Effective time management is essential for teachers. Your classes will teach you to run an organized classroom so that you can maximize your instruction time. Some time management strategies that you will learn include creating lessons that have clear introductions and closures, training students to follow routines during transition times and being prepared for every class.
Differentiated Instruction
Students learn in different ways and at inconsistent paces. As you progress through your teaching curriculum, you will develop the ability to alter lesson plans for your gifted or challenged students. You will learn how to modify parts of instruction like a lesson's content, your teaching process, the assignment itself or the student's environment in order to help students to succeed.
Your teaching program will give you the skills that you need to communicate with a variety of people. You will learn to take direction from administrators and to cooperate with other teachers. You will also be able to relate to your students and to actively listen to their parent's concerns as you discuss their progress.
A teaching degree will provide you with the skills that you need to become a leader in your classroom and your community. You will discover ways to motivate your students and you will learn to trust your own judgment when you make decisions about classroom management and instructional techniques.
Academic Degrees
What academic levels are available in the field of teaching?
Teachers most commonly choose to earn a bachelors degree, although you can earn teaching credentials at nearly every level of education. If you want to earn a teaching degree, your options include associates, bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees. You can also earn graduate certificates in certain areas of teaching.
Select the degree level you are interested in:
You can earn graduate certificates in teaching, which state that you have received formal graduate training in a particular sub-field of education. Certificates are a good option for both elementary and secondary teachers who want to enhance their teaching credentials without pursuing a full masters degree program. But they are not the same as subject area endorsements, which require more intensive study. Graduate certificates are also very different from state-issued teaching licenses, which are sometimes called teaching certifications. A graduate certificate provides additional education to teachers but does not take the place of a state-issued teaching license or certification. Graduate certificates in teaching are available in many areas, including:
- Educational Leadership, which introduces you to the theories and practice of school administration
- Educational Technology, which prepares you to integrate technology and multimedia concepts in classroom instruction
- Literacy and Reading Specialist, which trains you to use reading strategies and language arts skills to diagnose reading problems and to help children learn to read
- Special Education, which teaches you how to help students with physical, mental or emotional disabilities to succeed in the classroom
What are the different types of certificates that I can earn in teaching?
You can only earn graduate certificates in specific concentrations in teaching. You cannot earn undergraduate certificates in teaching because you must earn a bachelors degree to teach in both public and private schools.
How long will I have to study to earn my certificate in teaching?
Graduate certificate programs in teaching generally require students to complete 12 to 18 credit hours of graduate-level study. Most students complete their graduate certificates in 6 months to a year.
What types of courses will I take while studying for my certificate in teaching?
The types of courses that you take to earn a graduate certificate in teaching depend on the specific certificate program that you choose to pursue. For example, if you choose to earn a certificate in special education, you will take classes about diagnosing learning disabilities, instructional methods for teaching children with special needs and ways to include those children in regular classroom instruction. On the other hand, if you choose to earn a certificate in educational technology, you will take courses in advanced computer applications, how to use multimedia in the classroom and how to design online learning environments. But there is no standard curriculum for graduate certificate programs, so the coursework that you are required to complete may vary slightly between programs.
What types of jobs can I hope to secure with a certificate in teaching?
Graduate certificates in teaching enhance your credentials and can help you stand out among other job candidates, but they do not qualify you for jobs outside of teaching. They are best used to fulfill your continuing education requirements or to pursue your personal interest in a specific area of teaching.
What are the requirements for admission to a graduate certificate program in teaching?
In order to be admitted into a graduate certificate program, you need to be a licensed teacher. That means you must hold a bachelors degree and a valid teaching license.
What about getting an online certificate in teaching?
Many professional educators choose to earn online teaching certificates in order to enhance their teaching credentials. A lot of graduate teaching certificates programs are mainly based in theory, so they do not require teachers to participate in hands-on activities. Therefore, there is no reason that experienced teachers should not earn their teaching certificates online. However, if you are earning your certificate with little classroom experience, it may not be a good idea to complete your teaching program online. New teachers benefit from working with experienced educators and practicing techniques in person. Finally, you should be careful not to confuse online teaching certificates with teaching licenses, which are issued by the state. You cannot earn teaching licenses online because they require extensive field experience.
Associates Degree
A few schools offer associates degrees in education, but these degrees will not qualify you to be a teacher. If you want to teach kindergarten through twelfth grade, you must earn a bachelors degree.
What are the different types of associates degrees that I can earn teaching?
Associate of Arts AA
An AA degree in education has more humanities classes that are designed to give you a broad education. This degree is a good option if you plan to transfer to a bachelors degree program.
Associate of Science AS
An AS degree in education has more mathematics and science classes, but it differs little from the AA degree. It is also a good choice if you plan to transfer to a bachelors degree program.
How long will I have to study to earn my associates degree in teaching?
Associates degrees in education generally require students to complete about 60 credit hours. Most students finish their associates degrees in 2 years.
What types of courses will I take while studying for my associates degree in teaching?
If you earn an associates degree in education, you will take introductory education classes that prepare you to transfer into a bachelors degree program. Some of those classes include human development, mathematics for elementary education and literacy development.
What types of jobs can I hope to secure with an associates degree in teaching?
You will not be able to get a teaching job in an elementary, middle or high school with an associates degree in education. However, in some states you can work at daycare centers, teach preschool or assist the lead teacher in an early elementary school classroom.
What about getting an online associates degree in teaching?
Some schools offer online associates degrees in teaching, although they more commonly called degrees in education. At the associates level, most of your education classes will be theoretical, so there are no significant drawbacks to attending an online teaching program. But keep in mind that an online associates degree in teaching will not prepare you to earn your teaching license. An online teaching associates degree is meant to prepare you to transfer into a bachelors degree program.
Bachelors Degree
A bachelors degree is required to earn a teaching license, so it is the most common route to teaching. However, there are a couple of educational paths at this level that will qualify you to take your state's licensing exam. For example, you can earn a bachelors degree in education and specialize in an endorsement, or subject area, like mathematics of language arts. Or, you can earn a bachelors degree in the subject area that you want to teach and complete a state-approved teacher training program. Both options normally require you to complete a supervised student teaching practicum.
What are the different types of bachelors degrees that I can earn in teaching?
Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education BA
A BA in elementary education offers liberal arts courses in addition to methods for teaching children in kindergarten to about fifth grade. This degree is a good option if you want to teach elementary school.
Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education BS
A BS in elementary education technically has more science and mathematics classes, but it is essentially the same as the BA. This degree is also a good choice if you want to teach kindergarten to about sixth grade.
Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education BA
A BA degree in secondary education has more liberal arts classes and provides methods for teaching older students. This is a good choice if you want to teach humanities classes at the middle or high school level.
Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education BS
A BS degree in secondary education requires more technical classes and offers strategies to teach older students. This is the best option if you want to teach middle or high school mathematics and science classes.
How long will I have to study to earn my bachelors degree in teaching?
A bachelors degree in elementary education normally requires students to complete 120 to 130 credit hours, including a student teaching practicum of 1 to 2 semesters. Education students usually complete their bachelors degrees in 4 to 5 years.
What types of courses will I take while studying for my bachelors degree in teaching?
As you earn a bachelors degree in education, you will take classes that prepare you to run your own classroom. Some of the courses that you take will include lesson planning and assessment methods. You will also take courses about educational psychology, child development and classroom management. And if you are studying secondary education, you will take classes that are specific to the subject that you want to teach so that you will be an expert in that area.
What types of jobs can I hope to secure with a bachelors degree in teaching?
A bachelors degree on its own is not enough to qualify you for a public school teaching job, although it may qualify you to teach in a private school. The types of jobs that you will be qualified for with a bachelors degree in education depend on whether you pursue an elementary or a secondary teaching license. An elementary license qualifies you to teach kindergarten through fifth grade, while a secondary license qualifies you to teach seventh through twelfth grade. In addition, you can become licensed in a special subject, like art or music, for all grades. However, some states define their licenses differently. Because teaching regulations vary by state, you should carefully research the teaching license qualifications of the state where you want to teach so that you know what kind of license to earn.
What should I consider when deciding on a school to earn my bachelors degree in teaching?
You may want to consider accreditation when you are searching for a school to attend for your bachelors degree. The organization that accredits teaching programs is the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, which recognizes programs that adequately train teachers. It is not necessary to graduate from an accredited teaching program to earn your license. But if you do, you can be assured that you will be prepared to be a high quality professional educator.
What about getting an online bachelors degree in teaching?
There are no completely online teaching degrees that lead to licensure. However, many schools offer partially online bachelors teaching degrees, which are a viable option for some students. These programs allow you to learn the theory of teaching online, but you still have to complete field experiences and a student teaching practicum in a classroom. If you want to attend an online teaching program, you must make sure that it offers you the chance to work with students in person and put your theoretical knowledge to the test. In addition, you should look for an online teaching bachelors degree program that is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education so that you know you are getting a quality education.
Masters Degree
Masters degree programs in teaching and education have many purposes. Some masters degree programs allow students to earn endorsements in specific concentrations like special education or coaching. Some help professionals who are currently teaching to fulfill their continuing education credits. And they can also serve as your initial path to teacher licensing if you don't have a background in education.
What are the different types of masters degrees that I can earn in teaching?
Master in Teaching MIT
A MIT degree has advanced classes about teaching theories and methods. It is sometimes called a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT). This degree is best if you want to earn your teaching license or your endorsement in a specific topic like special education.
Master of Education MEd
An MEd is not a teaching degree. It offers classes in broad areas of education like curriculum, administration and counseling. This is the best option if you are a practicing teacher who wants to become a principal or continue on to a doctoral degree.
How long will I have to study to earn my masters degree in teaching?
A masters degree in teaching or education requires students to complete 30 to 36 credit hours, which can take 1 to 2 years.
What types of courses will I take while studying for my masters degree in teaching?
If you decide to earn a masters degree in teaching, you will take a mix of theoretical classes and courses that are designed to help you develop specific skills. Some theoretical classes that you are likely to take include social justice issues, literacy and child development. You will also take classes about assessment methods and curriculum design. Prospective teachers will also be required to complete a supervised student teaching practicum.
What types of jobs can I hope to secure with a masters degree in teaching?
You do not need a masters degree to teach, but it will help you stand out among other job applicants and will qualify you for a raise. Depending on your masters concentration, some of the jobs that you may be qualified for include special education teacher, school administrator or school counselor.
What should I consider when deciding on a school to earn my masters degree in teaching?
If you are considering a masters degree in teaching, you should consider whether the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education accredits the program that you want to attend. Accreditation is not mandatory, but you can be sure that you are getting a top-quality education if you attend an accredited school. In addition, most people earn a masters degree in teaching or education so that they can earn endorsements in subjects like special education. But many schools do not offer programs in every endorsement, so you should make sure that the schools you apply to can provide you with the specialized education that you want.
What are the requirements for admission to a masters degree program in teaching?
All teaching schools require that masters degree applicants hold a bachelors degree, but it does not have to be in education. In addition, some programs require applicants to pass state teaching exams or hold current teaching licenses. Therefore, you should research the programs that you are interested in several months in advance in order to make sure that you have time to meet all of the admissions requirements.
What about getting an online masters degree in teaching?
Many people choose to earn online teaching masters degrees because they are able to complete their education without interrupting their careers. There are no major drawbacks to earning an online teaching degree if you currently hold a valid teaching license. But if you do not hold a teaching license and you want to become a teacher, you should only earn a partly online teaching masters degree through a blended program. In a partly online teaching program, you will learn the theory of education online, but you will also participate in a student teaching practicum in person. The practicum is important because most states will not issue you a teaching license until you have completed a student teaching practicum.
A doctorate is the highest degree that you can earn in the field of teaching and education. People who earn doctoral degrees usually teach and research at the university level or become school administrators.
What are the different types of doctorates that I can earn in teaching?
Doctor of Philosophy PhD
A PhD in teaching is designed to prepare students to be leaders in education. This option is best for people who want to become university faculty or school administrators.
Doctor of Education EdD
An EdD degree is not a teaching degree. It is the best option for students who want to pursue educational research at the doctorate level.
How long will I have to study to earn my doctorate in teaching?
Doctoral programs in teaching and education usually require students to complete about 90 credit hours. Students typically finish their degrees in 4 to 7 years.
What types of courses will I take while studying for my doctorate in teaching?
The exact courses that you take in your doctoral program will vary by school, but you will take classes that help you develop your research methods and your understanding of education policy. For example, you may take classes about policy analysis, comparative teaching methods and curriculum design. Most doctoral programs also require students to write a dissertation.
What types of jobs can I hope to secure with a doctorate in teaching?
A doctoral degree in teaching or education mainly prepares you to teach and research at the university level. You may also be qualified to be a school administrator.
What are the requirements for admission to a doctorate program in teaching?
Most schools require applicants to a PhD in teaching program to hold masters degrees. In addition, many schools will only admit students who have at least 3 years of professional teaching experience.
What about getting an online doctorate in teaching?
You should not earn an online teaching doctorate. PhDs require heavy research and you will not be able to work closely with faculty members through an online teaching program.
However, some schools offer blended, or partially online teaching PhDs, which may be a viable option. Partly online teaching programs let students learn the theory of teaching online. However, they require students to meet in person several weekends per year to collaborate with peers and faculty, so they still require commitment. If you decide to earn an online or partly online PhD in teaching, make sure that it is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education so that you know you are earning a degree that your peers will respect.
Licensing Information
What else should I keep in mind when considering studying teaching?
Individual State Requirements
All 50 states require teachers to earn a license, but the requirements for that license can vary considerably from state to state. You should research the requirements of your state carefully before you decide to become a teacher so that you are aware of the education, field experiences and exams that you need to take in order to be qualified to teach the age level and the subject area that you prefer.
What are some other resources that can help me learn more about pursuing a degree or certificate in teaching?

Customer Raves & Reviews
Save the Date magnets
I loved how easy it was to personalize all of the preset designs on the website! The options for everything was very user friendly! The cost and options of what to actually order is so wide that there is definitely something for everyone and all styles!
Invitations & RSVPs
I asked for sample products of invitations even asking for a specific style so I could better visualize. They sent me exactly what I wanted and I fell in love with one specific pocket invitation style and the linen paper. I was not fully able to personalize everything I had wanted on my invitation/RSVPs (the main background and more specific paragraph spacing) BUT I typed what I wanted into the notes section and the person working on the proofs created exactly what I asked and continued working with me until I was satisfied with what I was getting. They were sent quickly and were just as fabulous as I had hoped. RSVP post cards were printed on very sturdy paper and the quality of everything was great. I would recommend magnet street. I had also gotten my save the dates from here too...LOVE!
Beautiful Invitations
I had read lots of reviews about Magnet Street's amazing Save the Dates. However, I was surprised at the level of customization available with all their wedding stationary. I ordered a JustOne to match our STD's and was extremely pleased with the quality of the paper and the depth of color. When our full order arrived, I couldn't have been happier! Magnet Street's full color and text customization is an incredible value. The size and accessory options are unmatched with other invite vendors I've looked into (especially at this price point!).Not only that, I've had guests comment that it was the most beautiful invitation they have ever received! Thanks Magnet Street!!!!
Beautiful Save the Date
I was so pleased to receive our Save the Date magnets. They are beautiful and I have received many complements. The quality is great, and well represented by the sample package I received. The photograph, color selection and font choice was wonderful and came together exactly as I hoped for.
Great Quality Labels
These labels came out great! They are a little bigger than I thought they would be, but they look so nice and the quality is great! I definitely recommend adding these to your order, worth the $20!

There's always a broadcast....somewhere
boo... guess I'll have to fire up the radio tonight up here in BR (some of us work on this NYD and can't get to NOLA for the game)New Orleans Hornets @Hornets

if monty is a good coach that makes adjustments, he would start ryno today at sf...the hawks start kyle korver at sf and you cant tell me ryno cant guard korver...pretty much monty has to go into every game with a game plan of trying to minimize our regular SF minutes as much as possible since they are beyond horrible
Glad ill be in the hive then.

Ryno is supposed to anchor our second unit and provide scoring while the starters arent on the floor.
Another thing really, the whole idea behind being a "starter" or not is kind of pointless. He's going to get plenty of minutes and be in the game down the stretch anyway.
Yea SportsSpouth (ATL Channel) is carrying it tonight according to the Hawks site. This post and the tweet from the Hornets was addressing that it was not going to be on FSNO. LP should be fine
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
For anybody living in Baton Rouge, I have been watching most of the games at a friends and we are using a cable box so obviously we get fox sports New Orleans to watch, I know this game won't be airing but if you have basic cable in Baton Rouge do you get the games? I only have 50 or so channels and have looked before and can't find it but perhaps I'm missing it. Just needed some help, not sure if people in Baton Rouge get the games on basic cable, or if it is not available, thanks.
Tickets are like six bucks on stubhub, fill the hive!
I've got my tix already.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Wtf? Great timing on this. Was really lookin forward to seeing Gordon play tonight.
I will just watch it on league pass like I always do. Every game is on there unless it is on espn or nba tv. Only bad thing is, I will have to listen to the other teams announcers. But have been doing that the last couple years, when the Hornets did not have a t.v. contract.
I tried to buy the LeaguePass today, but Cox is closed for the holiday. No can do.
I wished I lived closer to see them live more. They have already been in my neck of the woods though. Went to see them play in Chicago & Indianapolis like I always do. I was so pissed though because I didn't get to see Davis play at either game. It was nice to see so many Hornet fans at the Pacer game back in November. I assume it was mostly Kentucky fans there to watch Davis play.
Had something to do with Cox & their contract with Directv if I remember right. Everygame on league pass you can watch most of the games with one teams announcers or the other.

Other thread too long?
Other thread too long?
Easier for the powers that be that never introduce themselves to sort through all the posts if it's all broken up into seperate threads?
Or...the subject matter slid into something less than SFW. Either way. No mattering.
Part 1 went like 35 pages and part 2 went 31. I figured it would be easier for you guys to not have to weed through so many pages.

Anything but something with Spirit or the word Angels in it...
I'm still with Krewe. The Krewe of New Orleans. I don't get how anybody can hate this. Angels is growing on me but it's not original. Knights and Spirit are dull and absolutely terrible.
Rabble rabble rabble.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
I don't mind the new thread, but would have been nice to get a few more comments on the ESPN release before starting the new thread.
So with that in mind, the Dukes ESPN version looked pretty good.
I don't like Krewe. Why? Minor league version of Mardi Gras. A better Mardi Gras fit would be Carnival. New Orleans Carnival sounds and looks better than New Orleans Krewe.
Why not Brass? Probably same issue as Krewe. Just a minor league version of Jazz. Jazz would be the best fit.
VooDoo would be a great fit, but it's being used for now.
Unfortunately, with the best fits not available, outside of Carnival, something creative will have to be done.
Brass WAS actually a minor league team. Minor League Hockey. And that is just piggybacking off Jazz. VooDoo is cool but being used. Carnival just makes me think of the Circus for some reason, although I get your point that it is a bigger concept of Mardi Gras. But Krewe has that sort of name that matches New Orleans and describes a group of people...a group of players, our team. The Krewe of New Orleans. But I also like it because of the possibility of an alternate jersey or merchandising opportunity with Crescent City Krewe just because I think that name flows so beautifully. These are just my thoughts...
You don't follow my Twitter, I lead yours.

What a horrible shot by Watson.
Games getting interesting...
Nasty ball, just didn't bounce enough. Was looking pretty good too. Poor shot selection, considering the situation.
The one, the only CW Black
Code:47.3 W Coppinger to Heads Smacked the ball straight into the groin of Iwuajoku who has fallen over, miraculously with the ball still caught in his scrotal area! Out!
England are bowling perfect line which is a sharp contrast of th straying they were guilty of earlier. Australians are playing and missing, hitting shots in the air. Bit of panicking going on from the Aussies and England putting the pressure on here.
Scaly cannot quite believe it.
Hope England can get a couple of freebies like Australia did, might make a game of it yet.
