International Baccalaureate program for PMSA?
School begins 2-year application process
By Jean Lotus
Proviso Math and Science Academy has begun the two-year approval process to start an International Baccalaureate program within the school. Last week, Principal Bessie Karvelas, along with Proviso Township High School District 209 Superintendent Nettie Collins-Hart and teacher Darlyne Delaney attended a conference in Houston to start the process.
The school would be applying for the "Diploma Program" which grants high school diplomas to students ages 16-19.
The International Baccalaureate program is administered by a non-profit educational foundation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and affiliated with more than 3,500 schools in 147 countries. IB programs use an international "off the shelf" curriculum, according to its website. Some classwork and the "rigorous assessments" are sent to international headquarters to be graded by mail.
Principal Karvelas has experience with IB curriculum as principal of Lincoln Park High School and Von Humbolt School in the Chicago Public Schools.
Karvelas told the board at the March 11 meeting students from lower economic backgrounds can benefit from IB training. She showed the board statistics from CPS showing IB students achieving higher grade point averages than even students at selective schools in Chicago.
Students who enroll in IB divide their work into three areas: Students complete an independent 4,000 word paper called the "extended essay." Karvelas said this is similar to the internship/mentorship independent projects already in place at PMSA. Students also complete a "theory-of-knowledge" course, similar to the current Nature of Knowledge class offered at PMSA now. Students must also perform 150 hours of "creativity/action/service" – similar to service hours – over two years.
Students also attend traditional high school classes including science, math, foreign language, literature, social science and art. Four subjects must be taken at a "higher level" honors-like class.
The application process takes two years, Karvelas said. The school is currently in the "consideration phase," she said. A site visit from IB staff will follow. At that point the school will be given permission to train teachers, apply for authorization and eventually be verified by the IB.
The International Baccalaureate program will cost $4,000 to apply, Karvelas told the board. For the first two "candidate" years the school will pay $9,500 a year.
If the school is verified, the charge will be $10,810 annually. Students would pay $151 per year to register, plus a $104 fee per subject/per year. Some of these fees may be covered by Title 1 funds for low-income students. Karvelas estimated the cost for training teachers would be around $10,000. All told, Karvelas gave a potential cost of $54,640 for the first five years if the school adopted the program, plus around $10,800 per year after that.
Karvelas did not suggest that the entire school be converted to IB, but that a program within the school be started.
PMSA is also in the process of starting AP classes, and received a $50,000 grant from the College Board to get the AP project started.
At the March 11 meeting, Theresa Kelly, a board member, asked if Proviso East and Proviso West high schools would be able to participate in the IB program.
"It sounds like we would eventually like all of our schools to have this program," she said.
But Karvelas said the program was not district-wide, but was administered by individual school. Each school would have to go through the application process individually, she said.
The IB program is used by other area schools. Trinity High School in River Forest is an IB school. Oak Park District 97 phased in the middle school IB curriculum last year.
Karvelas said bringing IB programs to her previous schools was especially helpful to lower-income and minority students.
"The program encourages students to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners," she said. "[Students] understand that other people with differences can also be right."

I love that Theresa Kelly is concerned about All the Proviso schools getting access to better educational opportunities. I hate that she seems to be the only board member who does.

Quack attack
Ducks to rock Rocketts Aug. 11
If you're still reeling from the region's crazy weather extremes of the last month, better brace yourself for next week's forecast.
On Aug. 11, Rocketts Landing will be raining ducks.
As many as 20,000 rubber ducks, in fact, will splash into the James River at the 23rd Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters Duck Race, courtesy of thousands of citizen and corporate donors who support the mentoring work of BBBS.
The owner of the lucky duck – the swift swimmer who leads the flock from the old Annabelle Lee dock starting gate to The Boathouse finish line – will take home a new Nissan Versa donated by Priority Nissan.
Among other prizes will be the chance to play Honorary Squirrel for a Day with the Richmond Flying Squirrels; outings to Busch Gardens, Dave & Busters, and Richmond International Raceway; a kayak donated by Dick's Sporting Goods; and a burrito a week for a year at Qdoba.
Proceeds from duck sales, as always, will support BBBS programs pairing children with adult mentors in their community, which includes not only Richmond and its suburban counties but also Colonial Heights and the Tri-Cities area.
As Mark Bowen, manager of marketing and corporate relations for BBBS, pointed out recently, "We offer our [matching and mentoring services] free to the family; it doesn't cost them a cent. But it's not a free service to supply."
Receiving only limited funding from government sources – such as a federal grant that helps with mentoring of military families at Ft. Lee – the growing organization relies heavily on the Duck Race, the largest of its four annual fundraisers.
Bowen, who has been making the rounds of local grocery stores and businesses to sell ducks, noted that the one-on-one relationships fostered by BBBS have been shown to lower the chances of truancy and drug use by almost half among participating children.
"So we are always looking for numbers, for more matches; but we also want quality over quantity," Bowen said, emphasizing that long-term stability in a mentoring relationship is the ideal. "We try to keep matches together as long as we can; that makes the bigger difference in a child's life and the bigger difference in the community overall."
The new venue for the race and family festival, which in past years took place at Brown's Island, represents just one of several changes that have come about as BBBS marks its 50th anniversary year in Richmond.
The start time of the festival, which used to be 11 a.m., has been moved back until 2 p.m. (with a duck drop time of 5 p.m.) to take advantage of cooler temperatures. The Duck Race's social media presence has also been stepped up, with Facebook ads allowing fans to "like" the race, and Twitter updates regarding duck sales issued several times a day.
What's more, said Bowen, BBBS is offering online duck sales for the first time ever -- and web purchases are increasing daily.
"You can go directly from the Facebook page [or BBBS home page] to buy ducks," said Bowen, indicating that not only do online sales represent a convenience for duck buyers, but also a time saver for the staff.
With any luck, said Bowen, the internet will one day replace "retail" sites as the primary source of duck sales -- freeing staff from fundraising tasks to focus on their matching and mentoring mission.
But until then, Bowen can be found roaming the Richmond region, working up to six corporate duck sales a day. Among the Henrico businesses that have hosted sales in recent weeks are Snagajob, Richmond International Raceway, Markel, Dominion Power in Innsbrook and Quaker Steak and Lube, he said.
One of the Henrico trips Bowen relishes most, however, is set to take place August 3 at Genworth Financial – where he says he can always count on a duck-buying frenzy.
"At Genworth," Bowen said confidently, "we'll sell five- to six-hundred ducks in two hours."
The 2012 Duck Race festival will take place Aug. 11 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Rocketts Landing, with the duck drop taking place at 5 p.m. To purchase ducks, or to volunteer at the Duck Race, visit http://tinyurl.com/cfkutx7 or call 261-4940.

A Waihi Beach fisherman who came across those who escaped a capsized boat near Matakana Island says he hopes lessons can be learned from the incident.
Police spent yesterday searching for a 52-year-old man, understood to be Katikati avocado grower Tim Mair, after his 6-metre boat overturned crossing the bar between Bowentown and Matakana Island about 5.30pm on Monday.
Police have revealed that lifejackets were on board the boat, but just one of the five people on board was wearing one. While vessels must carry enough lifejackets for all on board it is not mandatory to wear them at all times.
Mr Mair's grandchild, aged 7, was wearing a lifejacket while his two other children, aged 23 and 15, were not. A family friend, aged 14, was also not wearing a life jacket. The group managed to swim to nearby Matakana Island where they flagged down a passing boat about 7.30pm.
Fisherman Warren Coffey said he and a friend were heading out fishing about 7.30pm when they came across the upside-down boat not too far from the harbour.
"So we thought we better stop and have a look," he said. "We were just about to ring the Coastguard about the boat when we saw some people on the shore [of a nearby island] waving. So we went over and picked them up. There was a young adult and three kids. We put them in the boat, wrapped them up and took them back to shore. That's when we rang the police and Coastguard."
Mr Coffey said the group looked to be in shock as they were pretty calm. "They'd been in the water quite a while I think before they got to shore."
As a father himself, Mr Coffey said he felt for the family.
"I just feel really sad that it's happened in this small community and that someone has lost a father, uncle, brother. I just hope that this story helps get the message out there.
"It's normally a pretty safe place, but the Bowentown bar can be a pretty dangerous place . . . you just have to wear your lifejacket all the time."
Sergeant Warren Shaw, of Waikato police search and rescue, said the missing skipper was an experienced boatie having lived in the area for more than 40 years.
Conditions at the time were said to be moderate to rough, according to Coastguard radio control operator and duty officer Brian Grimwood. "Conditions at the time were an easterly swell of 1-1.5 metres, the wind was 10-15 knots. The bar can get quite dangerous but basically the sea conditions were moderate to rough at the time."
But other boaties spoken to by Waikato Times said they would not have considered crossing the bar given conditions at the time.
An experienced boatie with more than 35 years' experience, who did not wish to be named, said he would not have entertained the idea of crossing the bar.
"It was bloody rough out there, the easterly was strong and I kept away - but I really feel for the family involved," he said.
Harbour Warden Noel Haszard patrols the inner Tauranga Harbour on behalf of the Harbour Master and said he was encouraged at the amount of people heeding advice and wearing lifejackets, but he said the latest incident had left him with a "heavy heart".
"In conditions like that it is too late to put a lifejacket on when you are already in trouble. Those waves hit hard and wham the boat is over - there is little that can be done," he said.
"It is frustrating, particularly when there are lifejackets on board, and when that bar is notoriously rough in conditions like that."
Mr Haszard patrols the harbour and approaches boats where people are not wearing lifejackets.
"It's good to see that more people are getting the message, but every day I find people not wearing lifejackets, particularly in kayaks."

Mobile backend-as-a-service (MBaaS) provider Kii has launched a first-of-its-kind A/B testing feature for MBaaS customers, which can also be used as a stand-alone tool for mobile app developers. Kii CEO and Cofounder Masanari Arai and Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer Phani Pandrangi spoke with ProgrammableWeb about what the new features mean for mobile app developers and how to make use of their REST APIs and SDKs to better analyze the commercial potential, usage patterns, and growth opportunities of new app products.
New App Gallery For The Triple Win
API service provider Mashery (a ProgrammableWeb sponsor) has launched a new app directory at SXSW which features apps built on Mashery hosted APIs. It's a great thing for three distinct groups. First, it helps the API providers who partner with Mashery by encouraging API usage through the apps. Second, it helps app developers seeking to build an audience. Third, it helps consumers that might be interested in finding an app that uses a particular API. Granted, those would be your super savvy mobile app consumers, but that doesn't seem so far fetched after a week at "spring break for geeks."

...I understand because I also had difficulty when I first took this course, and math had always come naturally to me. If this sounds familiar to you, let me tutor you/your child in Geometry - I know where they are coming from and I know how to get them to understand all the different theorems and how to write a proof. It's still math.

Mel Laird defends the all-volunteer military
Former Wisconsin congressman and onetime defense secretary Melvin Laird wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post this past week arguing against the idea of re-instituting a military draft, since "some are once again suggesting a draft force could be better."
At the Pentagon, Laird oversaw the move in the 1970s from the draft to the all-volunteer force.
He argues that a volunteer military is "more intelligent, fit, committed and representative than ever."

I'm having a problem with my ListView in a ListActivity with a Custom ArrayAdapter.
When the ListActivity becomes hidden (paused, whatever), the data that was present in the ArrayAdpater seems to go away. Rotation works fine, but I am only assigning the array in the ArrayAdapter in the onCreate(), nowhere else. The array is stored in a global static so the array itself should be fine. but the ListView seems to be pitching the array somewhere after the onCreate in the Activity Lifecycle.
I'm thinking the array should be re-assigned on one of the onResume(), onStart() or onRestart(), but I'm looking for a more concrete reason as this happens only rarely and never with my Cursor based Adapters.
