KNOXVILLE -- Tennessee head coach Phillip Fulmer announced Monday that Kevin VanDerzee has accepted the position of Director of High School Relations.
VanDerzee, 30, comes to the Vols from Richmond and is the third former Spiders football staff member to join Fulmers coaching lineup this year. Offensive coordinator Dave Clawson, Richmonds former head coach, and wide receivers assistant Latrell Scott made the move to Knoxville last month.
Its a great opportunity for me and something I didnt foresee happening, VanDerzee said. Dave (Clawson) took this job and we were in scramble mode at Richmond, and to be honest we had put together a pretty good recruiting class. We were just getting settled when the phone call came that this might be an opportunity and it happened quick.
A native of Ravena, N.Y., VanDerzee spent two seasons as Richmonds director of football operations after having served in the same position at Central Connecticut State and Massachusetts.
Other posts include a stint as fund raising executive director for Central Connecticut State football, defensive ends coach at Albany, gameday operations associate with the Wilmington (N.C.) Sharks of the Coastal Plains Summer Baseball League and two turns in the New York Giants player personnel department as a pro personnel intern.
Im very excited about finishing the staff from an administrative standpoint, Fulmer said. Kevin brings a varied background, including extensive experience with recruiting. I know he will do a great job organizationally and will challenge our staff in a creative manner.
VanDerzee is a 2000 graduate of the State University of New York at Cortland.

The way you can write a personal statement for a United kingdom institution
'Your launching paragraph could launch in several methods of system, even though the essential motive is to buy the reader's passion.'
Kathryn Abell of Edukonexion gives you some suggestions ahead of her connect during the English Education Acceptable in Madrid happening on 19-20 October 2015.
When applying to a British college or university, the invention that college levels in isolation usually are not a sufficient amount of to increase entry in the programme that you choose are available as the unwelcome shock. This is also true for worldwide learners, a lot of which look at expressions 'personal statement' for the very first time when starting off their university system.
But not being a buffer, the personal statement is, truly, the stepping stones to having your primary goal of mastering at a Great britain college.
A personal statement can help you get noticed
If you happen to have determined your investigation plan great – that is definitely to convey, you have decided something that you are seriously pumped up about that suits your academic report – then your personal statement is only a path to communicate to admissions trainers why you would like the program and what you can bring to it. And since a good number of educational facilities get a variety of uses for equally that are available site, and the most tend not to present an talk to, your written and published document is truly the only way you can exhibit your individuality and say 'choose me!'.
The 'personal' in 'personal statement' reveals that you should be allowed to convey you and your family nonetheless you want, properly? Correctly, into a distinct extent that is certainly valid: admissions trainers want to be a photograph people, not your folks, your tutors or other people you know, so it should be your task. Nevertheless, the purpose of the statement is to try to convince academic workers which they will need to supply you with one of their greatly sought-subsequently, after university venues; while there is no strict format for this, there are particular facts you needs to include and some things you might want to most likely write out.
The power of the beginning paragraph
The internet Universities and Educational institutions Admissions Service UCAS undergrad application makes it possible a complete of 4,000 people in the vicinity of 700 thoughts, purpose that you should craft the declaration mindfully. The main a part is obviously the opening section, because it functions for an invite to remain looking at. If you happen to unable to draw the admissions teacher, who may have 100s of statements to evaluate, then its highly less likely they will go through around the last part.
The best advice this is to prevent a great deal of-pre-owned opening up product lines and cliches including 'I have wanted to be an professional since i have was actually a child'. This specific idea will never be the invitation customers are seeking for. Instead, try using an anecdote, practical experience or inspiring minute: 'Although tinkering with motors suffered with been a younger years leisure activity, that it was the plans within the swiftest vehicle on the globe, the Bloodhound, with an exhibition in the uk, that roused my desire to uncover all things I could truthfully about vehicle engineering'. Literally? Say to me a great deal!
Obviously, your starting up section could beginning in numerous approaches, although the elementary intention may be to pick up the reader's fascination.
Deliver proof of your obligation and skill-sets
Applying on from that, you have to render proof your eagerness and resolve for your selected routine, and feature the actual and transferable expertise you own to examine it with success. This can be achieved by following the ABC rule.
Activity: Have kinds of just what you have taken care of, competent or perhaps even check out that have aided you in your selection of college diploma and enhanced your understanding on the area part.
Profit: By doing these things, demonstrate what we experienced or acquired; regarding a book or article, fit in advance an opinions.
Program: The maximum triumphant applicants ensure that the facts and techniques they contain is applicable to their own program so that they can emphasize their suitability. Floral-planning could quite possibly enables you to appreciate your inventive would-be, and can it help you analyze astrophysics?
This is remarkably suitable to foundation this ABC concept on school-based on hobbies, as not all the enrollees have opportunity outside the class. Interestingly, when you can connect more-curricular pastimes into your expected routine of research study, you could be even further featuring your commitments. For the most part of thumb, the content you include things like now really need to be out there 80 % academic and 20 per cent no-academic. So, for instance, as part of the college modern technology organization – a non-curricular, academic activity – you might have perfected the opportunity to analyse statistics and deal with troubles logically. Taking part in a task position falls through the exact same category and might have helped you have your communicating, time-supervision and personal pc methods. You are given the objective.
No-academic achievements will certainly come with sound, exercise, move or dance clubs and may lead to several competencies particularly crew-exercising, control, dialect or presentation competence. A word of caution on this website: it is necessary that you choose and vend your own self, but arrogance or is can result in your personal statement getting while in the 'rejected' heap. Keep it dependable and back down-to-the planet.

Is a Soros Bot Funding Stein's Recount Campaign?
A steady, unchanging $160,000 per hour is coming in; these are not spontaneous individual donations.
ACCORDING TO information from Jim Stone, donations to Jill Stein's election recount campaign are being made at a steady rate of $160,000 on the hour every hour of the day.
The constant rate of donation, 24 hours a day, suggest that a computer program is being used to post the donations as opposed to real people making grassroots donation.
However, the donations are being reported as grassroots donations from a myriad of online supporters to help her verify the integrity of the election.
However, if real individuals are in fact making the actual donations the rate of the donations should drop over night when Internet traffic is low.
The rate should then steadily pick up during the course of the day up and then culminate during the "Internet rush hour" when usage peaks, which is usually between 7 and 11 PM.
For example the BBC, the UK's equivalent of CNN, reports hourly average Internet usage usage is as follows:
If Jill Stein's recount campaign was real and donations are in fact coming in from real grass roots supporters then donations to the campaign should reflect this curve in some manner.
However, they do not follow the curve of typical Internet.
Instead they are coming in at a constant hourly rate of $160,000 per hour every hour on the hour.
To illustrate, HNN has compiled this graph of Stein's donations per hour superimposed on the BBC's graph of Internet usage per hour by device.
The graph illustrates Jill Stein's recount donations in orange with a red outline which plots recount donations coming in at a constant rate of 4.16% per hour.
It is impossible for Jill Stein's recount campaign to be receiving the same amount of donations from real online users every hour on the hour when real Internet usage among devices varies widely hour to hour; specifically it peaks in the evening and becomes virtually non-existent between 1 am and 6 am in the morning.
This clearly indicates the donations to the recount campaign are not from "grassroots Internet users" but instead are the result of a computer programmed bot which is working behind the scenes to fund the campaign.
It is almost as perplexing that Jill Stein managed to raise in less than 24 hours more money than she has raised throughout her entire campaign but that is another story. Namely, Hillary Clinton is having Jill dirty her hands to demand a recount so Hillary is not implicated in not accepting the results of the election.
It is still uncertain there is even a prima facie case for Stein to even demand a recount given she failed to capture more than 2% of the vote in any state. If Republicans stand their ground on this argument, Hillary will have to step out from behind her proxy and get her own hands hands dirty to force a recount to happen.

I have never had a nice tummy. When I was younger it was always chubby, even when the rest of me wasn't .

It's so frustrating to work out as hard as I do and have a belly that looks like I'm 85 instead of 45. All of my friends say that it's "not that bad" and I can tell...

What is Quora? It took a few hours for me to "get it", but after reading around and having a play here's where I'm at.
A global Q+A site that actually works!
Unlike Yahoo! Answers or LinkedIn's Q+A, the hooks to other Social networks make this very easy to spread to your existing network. Unlike Facebook Questions, the ability to search for, or ask questions is exceptionally easy. If you have a burning question you cannot get answered anywhere else, try it! You will be impressed.
The Geek reaction is palpable
I found Techcrunch's article by MG Seigler a little whacky when I first read it. Claims like "Is Quora the biggest blogging innovation in 10 years?" are pretty strong.
It's worth remembering Quora has been around for a few months, and has been steadily winning over sceptics, and beginning to form consensus.
Adam at Comms Corner makes the case for why brands need to get into the FAQ space, like they have done Social Media.
1) If you don't someone else will answer questions on behalf of your brand – like the early days of Wikipedia.
2) This is a great way to find dissatisfied customers and help them get the best from your product.
Emergence of global, centralised tools & products
We now have Wikipedia (Encyclopaedia), Google (Search,Translate), Facebook (Social), Skype (Speak), Ebay (Marketplace) and many more tools where the world comes together on one platform. They all benefit from the network effect. They are made better by the fact that everyone uses them. Delaying moving to these platforms, means you miss the party & miss the opportunity.
- Have you used Quora?
- Will you sign up?
- Have you got any value from it?
- Do you think it will become mainstream?

Sports injury clinics treat many injuries that cause pain and loss of function in both professional athletes and weekend warriors alike. Sports injuries cause trauma to the joint tissues and muscles while getting in the way of your ability to participate in your favorite activities. The following are five types of sports injuries that you need to consider. Experiencing any of these requires you to find the right treatment that provides lasting relief while restoring your function. Sprains And Strains Sprains affect the ligaments, which are the tissues that connect bones, provide stability to the joints, and ensure proper movement and function. When ligaments are stretched beyond their capabilities, they can tear or lengthen. Strains are those injuries that relate to the tendons, which connect muscles to bones. Overuse injuries and excessive stretching can cause sprains and strains to occur. The severity of a tear can vary, and these injuries…Read More

Screenplays in the Curriculum? Of Course!
Television and movies are–for better or for worse–a dominating cultural force. They feed popular culture and the young minds imbibing it.
According to a 2012 Nielsen report, teens watch about 22 hours of television a week. And that's not including movies, social media, YouTube, videos, and all sorts of other technologies.
Educators may find all of this media exposure distracting to their students. According to a report by Common Sense Media, "Many teachers think their students use of entertainment media has hurt their academic performance."
So what's an educator to do?
I recently watched the School Library Journal webcast Pop Literacy. (I highly recommend it.) It's a great overview of how (and why) to incorporate pop culture into your curriculum, including a fascinating discussion of the word "appropriate" in terms of pop culture in the classroom.
One thing, in particular, struck me as worthwhile, fun, and exciting for students, as well as for teachers.
If young people are watching an average of three hours or more of television a day, it probably would benefit them to know WHAT they are watching and HOW it got there. Television shows and movies require a lot of elements along to way to becoming a finished product. One of the first? A screenplay.
A screenplay, or a script, is created by one person or a team of writers. Dialogue, interaction, action, and reaction, setting, set design, costume, and prop descriptions are woven together to create a world not just to be imagined, as in a book, but also to be brought into form.
How can this project be beneficial to students?
Most students watch and enjoy television. They are drawn in by the story, intrigued by the characters, immersed in the narrative, invested in its conclusion. Some students do not enjoy classroom creative writing–the process can be intimidating and overwhelming. Screenwriting is a way to engage students as part of the collaborative and creative process in writing a screenplay.
Reading. You can start by reading, analyzing, and discussing a screenplay. There's a huge selection at imsdb.com, including Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, La La Land, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You can search by genre, or for a specific script. For younger students, try the read-aloud plays in SIRS Discoverer.
Discussion. Introduce students to the codes and conventions of screenwriting and review the significance of the three-act structure. Explore how to create a unique voice for each character and consider why a convincing setting is an important element of the screenplay.
Writing. Your students now have a basic idea of the screenwriting process and screenplay elements. Now, divide the students into teams, give them parameters, and set them to work imagining, discussing, and writing! Try this Writing a Screenplay lesson plan for guidance and inspiration.
Ready to move one step further and create student films from the finished screenplays? This filmmaking unit for 6th through 8th grade students gives an overview of the process.

5 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day with Your Students
Young students are curious about Earth and discovering ways that they can help the planet. As adults, it's our responsibility to teach them how and inspire their ideas. Classrooms and media centers are ideal places for this type of learning and exploration. And Earth Day, which is April 22, is the perfect time!
SIRS Discoverer and its April Spotlight of the Month on Earth Day can assist in planning for this significant global holiday. Founded in 1970, Earth Day began and continues as a day of environmental education and action.
In honor of our Earth, here are some activities that promote awareness and appreciation of nature, recycling, and the environment:
1. Plant a garden and compost.
An outdoor garden is a great classroom. Gardens can help students develop listening, comprehension, and collaboration skills, as well as provide a solid foundation in Earth sciences. Try an activity that helps students understand the parts of a plant and how they grow. The printable PDF version of the associated Teacher's Guide provides information, photos, and activities. You can help your students dig deeper and understand more about plant growth with this article and associated activities on composting.
2. Recycle and reuse.
Tell your students to pay attention to the amount of paper and plastic bottles they use. Guide them to reuse and recycle such items appropriately. For some hands-on learning, your students can learn the art of recycling with this activity, which provides age-appropriate ideas and instructions for recycling newspapers into papier-mache, collages, or weavings. Or, impress them with the power of nature, and show them great ways people are using wind, water, and sunlight to generate "clean energy."
3. Write letters to local representatives and start petitions.
Much of environmental protection is done through laws and legislation. As a lesson in civics, organize a student letter writing campaign to a local or state representative. Allow your students to vocalize their beliefs on how the planet should be treated. Another idea is to sign or start a petition for climate change and clean energy.
4. Walk and bike. Don't drive.
Fossil fuels contribute to many environmental problems. Because it can be done on a small scale, encourage your students to use their bodies as a form of green transportation. Plus it's great exercise!
5. Learn about coral reefs and other worldwide environmental issues.
We can also help the Earth–and help young students help the Earth–by learning about what is happening around the globe, from the deteriorating condition of our oceans' coral reefs, which can lead to discussions about the warming of our planet, to the destructive and growing Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which emphasizes the necessity of recycling and limiting our use of plastics.
Celebrate life on Earth, and Earth itself, this Earth Day. If it is important to you, it will be important to the children you reach!

Information literacy skills are integral to today's rising students for many reasons, including tendencies toward information overload and the trend of fake news.
The gathering of information begins with a need or desire for an answer to a question. Perhaps that question is posed by a teacher or by the student herself. The next course of action in schools these days is usually to consult a website, or perhaps a book. Information literacy skills support students in navigating this process of finding answers.
But once students are equipped with these vital research skills and find answers to questions, what is the next step toward understanding and integrating the information they find?
Another way to ask that question might be this: How can we turn information gathering into wisdom?
"Wonder is the beginning of wisdom."—Socrates
Socrates prized questioning over information gathering. He valued the qualities of critical thinking and engagement with a topic. He believed in creating a learning atmosphere of cooperation, dialogue, listening, and further questioning—cornerstones of the Socratic method, and foundations of the Socratic seminar.
Socrates believed that collecting and memorizing information provided little opportunity for true learning. And as learning was best nurtured in a social atmosphere, the lone activity of research provided little support for critical thinking and comprehension.
Navigating and bridging the educational essentials of research and the art of critical thinking may be a challenging journey.
The Socratic seminar is one way to help connect these two elements of a successful classroom.
"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."—Socrates
The Socratic seminar provides students with a forum to ask questions and exchange ideas with their peers on a specific topic, event, or piece of literature. Students come prepared to engage in discussion with fellow students, having read assigned materials, conducted appropriate research, made personal connections, and formulated questions to bring to the seminar.
The teacher becomes the seminar's facilitator, keeping the students on topic and asking open-ended questions when necessary. The goal is to allow students to practice the art of true dialogue. Emphasis is placed on the value of listening and respecting everyone's questions and opinions. Socratic seminars are not debates; rather, they are cooperative conversations geared toward critical thinking and discovery.

Bring on the (Educational and Fun) Song Parodies!
Song parodies are quite popular these days. A search of "song parodies" on the Web returns more than 30,000 videos—and some of these song-parody creators have quite the following. Shows like Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Fallon Tonight, or the Academy Awards boldly use song parodies to get laughs and make statements. Weird Al Yankovich, who caused quite a musical stir in the 1980s with his song parodies and satirical music videos, is still the biggest name in the genre.
And then…there are the educational song parodies [insert students laughing and/or groaning—it's usually a mixture of both].
I've been in classrooms and have watched students watching educational song parodies.
Coming from 1980s classroom culture, which embraced video watching as a fun and wasteful day, I was a bit skeptical.
But the classroom came alive, and I witnessed learning happening.
Each of the educational song-parody videos I saw in the classroom—or heard about from my daughter and watched with her later—was created by an educator somewhere in the world singing or rapping (sometimes pretty badly) about a topic. (And let me just say that any teacher willing to put time and effort into creating an educational song parody and accompanying video gets an "A" in my book.)
So…we are in the classroom, the lights are dimmed, the screen goes down, the music and video come on and…education begins. The students snicker, groan, laugh, and sing along. The song parody ends, discussion concludes the lesson. Class is over, and students leave the classroom singing the song.
As I said, learning happened. And it was fun.
If you check some out, I think you will understand why. My daughter's favorite is "Ancient Mesopotamia Song By Mr. Nicky." Mr. Nicky has recorded other World History song parodies, but this one is particularly enjoyable (and quite catchy). Another favorite of hers is "Five Themes of Geography," by James B White. He calls it "hip-hop-tabulous."
Math facts have made their way into educational song parodies, as in the song-parody compilation "Multiplication Mash Up – A Fun Way to Learn Your Multiplication Facts!" by McCarthy Math Academy . And be sure to check out this charming performance of "Perfect Squares (Dark Horse Parody, Katy Perry) Songs For School" by Songs for School.
Want some more? Web sites catering to teachers, such as TeachHub and Mental Floss, have compiled lists of the best educational song parodies: Top 12 Educational Music Videos and 19 Videos That Make Learning Fun, respectively. TeacherTube provides a search engine to find more educator-approved educational song parodies.
And if you're thinking of getting in to the song-parody business, you'll need to know how to write one. How to Write a Song Parody, complete with graphics, should cover it.
Song parodies are so popular that teachers are incorporating them into their class curriculum. Curious about how that would work? Check out this Student Parody Assignment. Wondering how a song-parody project fits into educational standards? To give you an idea, I found this handy Civil War Song Parodies assignment page from the Pennsylvania Standards Aligned System site.
I'm going to end with a personal note–My daughter has written and performed two song parodies so far in her World History class. She was so proud of the finished work and loved the entire process. She and her partner called their second song parody "This Is Greece," sung to the tune of "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid. If you know the song and can carry a tune, try it out–I've included the first verse and chorus below:
The Greek world is on a peninsula
In the meditteranean sea
You dream about myths
About every single god
Just look at those city-states
With history, art, and drama
Such architecture around you
What more could you be wishin' for
This is Greece
This is Greece
Oh my, it's better
Down here we're voting
Take it from me!
Up in Sparta they fight all day
Out in the mountains they train away
While we're learning
Full-tme democracy
This is Greece!
Happy song-parodying!
Mindful Breathing in the Classroom
Breathe in–I know I am breathing in. Breathe out–I know I am breathing out. Breathe in–I know I am breathing in. Breathe out–I know I am breathing out. Breathe in–I know I am breathing in. Breathe out–I know I am breathing out.
How many times a day are you aware of your breathing?
Our breath connects our bodies with our minds.
Try the above exercise for a minute and feel the truth of that statement.
Breathing is a physical action that occurs instinctively…over and over and over and over and over again. Our breath connects us to life. Without it, we do not bring oxygen into our lungs, our blood cells do not absorb it and transport this essential element to our organs and other cells, our bodies no longer sustain themselves and their animation.
Our breath connects us to each other.
Imagine the infinity sign: You breathe out, I breathe in. I breathe out, you breathe in.
Breathing is integral to many religious and spiritual practices. Beautiful philosophies about the spiritual impact of breathing abound. Some spiritual leaders, including Buddhist monk and teacher Thich Nhat Hahn, believe that taking control of one's breath will lead to healing and enlightenment. Proper breathing is part of a practice called "mindfulness" in the Buddhist tradition.
Mindful breathing is an integral part of mindfulness practice.
Imagine a classroom in which the teacher and all of the students are breathing together, aware of their breath. They are in control of their bodies and minds in a way that others, who not aware of their breathing, are not. Because they are in control of their bodies and minds, these students are calm, open, balanced, ready to engage, prepared to learn.
There have been many studies conducted to prove the beneficial impact of controlled breathing on students and in the classroom. Check out this one from the University of Ontario, which concluded that the classroom practice of mindful breathing improves academic success. Other studies show the same, and also document other favorable effects, such as reduced stress, improved social behavior, and even increased feelings of happiness.
So learning to breathe, or more accurately, learning to breathe properly, is a life skill that is taught with enormously successful results in classrooms. Deep belly breathing, paying attention to one's breath, following the breath in and out, practicing movement (such as yoga) while breathing, incorporating guided meditations while breathing, using sound to punctuate the breath—these are all ways educators incorporate mindful breathing into their classrooms.
Try the super-simple breathing technique at the top of this post again. Breathe in–I know I am breathing in. Breathe out–I know I am breathing out. Breathe low into your lungs, exercising your diaphragm and expanding your belly. Can you feel the power in your breath? When I am anxious, stressed, feeling out of control, or generally not OK, I feel my breath turn shallow and somewhat erratic. Mindful breathing brings me back to myself, back to my center physically and emotionally.
I am not an educator, nor a yoga or breath-work practitioner. But I found a few very useful resources that can help any teacher—or anyone, really—get started with proper breathing techniques.
This five-minute guided breathing meditation from the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center encourages listeners to sit, listen to and feel their bodies, and breathe. Five minutes can do a world of wonder for anxiety and other stress-related issues.
The Mindful Classroom is an educator's blog about mindfulness in the classroom. This post on deep breathing discusses why this practice is so important to classroom efficacy. It provides a script for teachers to guide students in breathing and offers tips and techniques in leading healthy breathing exercises.
Teacher Meena Srinivasan's book Teach, Breathe, Learn offers guidance to teachers on ways to bring mindfulness into the classroom. Breathing is one of the tools she utilizes to create a calm and compassionate classroom.
Let's all learn to breathe. Not just for our students, but for ourselves.
SIRS Discoverer Spotlight of the Month: Winter Holidays Around the World
The winter season is here! For many people, the winter season means cold, wind, and snow. Trees may be bare and the ground could be icy. The sun may set sooner, delivering darkness to our late afternoons. Whether you live in a place that's cold, hot, or somewhere in between, winter means lots of fun holidays and celebrations around the world.
These holidays may be associated with religious beliefs, spiritual customs, past events or cultural practices. This diversity makes each holiday very unique. Just think about all of the ways holidays are celebrated! Traditions may include festivals, lights, singing, decorations, parades, gift-giving, prayer, fairs, fasts or feasts. Each holiday has its own symbols, too, such as red lanterns for Chinese New Year, pine trees for Christmas, menorahs for Hanukkah, ears of corn for Kwanzaa, and Yule logs for the winter solstice.
Wonderful holidays full of light, warmth, family, and love have been created out of these cold, dark days. The Jewish holiday Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, celebrates the miracle of light with family and communal rituals, including the lighting of a Menorah candle each night for eight nights. Christmas, a Christian holiday honoring the birth of Jesus Christ, is observed with family gatherings, songs, and trees decorated with lights representing the Star of Bethlehem. Some families take part in a Kwanzaa ceremony, which incorporates candles, music, food, and blessings. A beautiful luminary can be part of the Mexican observance of Las Posadas.

It's Native American Heritage Month: Standing Rock Sioux Reservation
It is Native American Heritage Month.
What does this mean? How do we commemorate? I've seen signs in schools announcing this yearly celebration, and I've perused displays in libraries. I've noted local museums' native-themed exhibits. Classrooms may spend time learning about the history of Native Americans. Young students may take part in creating a native-themed craft; older students may be tasked with researching an eminent Native American or the history of a Native American tribe. Adults may seek out drum circles, powwows, native chanting experiences, and herbal medicine discussions.
This year, perhaps above all else, we can honor Native American Heritage Month by learning about and discussing the current protests at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota.
The tribes of the Great Sioux Nation, at the center of this controversy, came together at Standing Rock to oppose the $3.7 billion Dakota Access pipeline, which would cut across the land of the Standing Rock Sioux and possibly threaten their water supply. Other Native American tribes and many of non-native descent joined in the protests. Large-scale demonstrations began a few months ago, in August, when activists blocked the pipeline's construction sites at Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The protests have grown and have become increasingly violent. But the opposition remains strong. In a September press release, Standing Rock Sioux tribal chairman David Archambault II stated that the pipeline will "destroy our burial sites, prayer sites and culturally significant artifacts."
The Dakota Access pipeline, approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in July, would tap into the Bakken Formation, an oil deposit that spans five U.S. states and into Canada. It could provide more than 7 billion barrels of oil to the United States, reducing the country's reliance on foreign oil. Energy Transfer Partners, a Texas-based natural gas and propane company, claims that the pipeline would help the states that are impacted, providing up to 12,000 construction jobs and bringing more than $150 million in revenue.
As Americans, it is important that we acknowledge the events and people at Standing Rock. As researchers, teachers, and students, it is also important that we explore both sides of the issue. SIRS Knowledge Source and its Leading Issues feature, which includes such topics as Keystone Pipeline and Indigenous Peoples, explores the controversy.

Adding an A to STEM…Full STEAM Ahead!
As professionals in the field of education, we all know the term STEM. This is a movement that exposes students to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It promotes the teaching of these disciplines' theories and content with a hands-on learning approach. The goal is not only to provide students with a deep, multidisciplinary understanding but to foster understanding of STEM concepts in the real world.
If a letter were added to the STEM acronym, what would the best choice be? In this video, Harvard University education professor Howard Gardner has a definitive answer: "I have no hesitation in saying we need to add the letter A….An education devoid of arts…is an empty, half-brain kind of education."
To the point.
In that same video, Yale Child Study Center lecturer Erika Christakis isolates perhaps the core reason that adding the Arts to STEM education is so important: "The arts hav[e] something really essential to say about the human condition, just as science does."
Let's First Look at STEM.
We are humans living in a rapidly developing society. In no point in recorded human history has there been as many innovative technologies bringing people together. The disciplines represented in STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—are integral to the technologies we use every day—and the tools we will use tomorrow. As stated in the State Idaho Department of Education's What Is STEM Education?, "Math is the language; Science and Engineering are the processes for thinking; all this leads to Innovation."
Young people—students—have known no other world. It is in all of our best interest to teach, encourage, and support them in a STEM environment.
So Why STEAM?: Arts and the Human Condition
Knowing and understanding the significance of STEM in our schools may not, at first glance, lead us to recognize the significance of adding an A to this multidisciplinary approach to education.
So we must ask: Exactly what do the arts add to our lives?
Consider what the arts encompass. Music, painting, sculpting, theater, literature, architecture, fashion, and so much more. Just as new technologies bring us together and help create our shared experiences, the arts span time to connect us with each other and ourselves. Consider briefly Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. How many people have viewed this painting across the centuries and have been moved by its beauty and brilliance? Across time and cultures, Mona Lisa created a shared, communal experience that impacted 16th-century viewers in much the same way is it does today. An encounter that becomes both a personal and shared experience.
In fact, at the foundation of all artistic endeavors are creativity, personal experience, and shared experience. It is the same with newfound technologies. Why is this important? Consider what Mae Jemison—an astronaut, doctor, art collector, and dancer—had to say on the topic in this transcript of her 2009 TED Talk on teaching arts and science:
"The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin, even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather they're manifestations of the same thing….The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity. It's our attempt as humans to build an understanding of the universe, the world around us….[S]cience provides an understanding of a universal experience, and arts provides a universal understanding of a personal experience."
STEAM in Action
Creativity, personal experience, and shared experience are evident in stories and videos of STEAM in action. When creative writing is incorporated as the A in this Science of Superheroes Lesson, students are able to make connections between the science of flight—which was the STEM component of the lesson—and creating a superhero character and story, which was the A component of the lesson. The video highlights the many layers of involvement and collaboration STEAM can engender.
Math concepts, such as number lines, counting, and fractions, are merged seamlessly with interactive theater play in Staging STEM, a video that also conveys the joy students attain when engaging in STEAM activities. The personal and shared experiences, generated by both personal and communal creativity, become essential to and integrated with the learning experience.
Education should be exciting, engaging, uplifting, and inspiring…and it should provide an outlet for creativity and both personal and shared experiences. The multidisciplinary STEAM educational model certainly is an approach worth exploring.

Libraries Serving Spanish-Speaking Communities
The Spanish language is an integral part of the American experience.
According to the 2011 Pew Research Center's American Community Survey, Spanish is the main language spoken in more than 37 million homes. According to the 2012 U.S. Census, Hispanic Americans comprised 17% of the country's population–53 million people.
How do the more than 16,000 public libraries across the United States serve this culturally rich community?
There are numerous ways that public libraries can find the fiscal support, cultural materials, and language expertise necessary to successfully serve their diverse Spanish-language-speaking communities. In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is celebrated each year in the U.S. from September 15 through October 15, let's take a look at some.
Guidelines for Library Services to Spanish-Speaking Library Users
The American Library Association offers a comprehensive overview to librarians and media specialists who seek to initiate services to Spanish-language-speaking populations or to build upon their existing resources. Visit Guidelines for Library Services to Spanish-Speaking Library Users for an overview of collection development and selection; cultural programming and outreach; the value of personnel training and development; and the significance of collection placement.
The National Association to Promote Library & Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish-Speaking (REFORMA) was established in 1986 with the purpose of providing educational, charitable, and programming outreach to Hispanic American librarians and to libraries wanting to serve the Spanish-speaking population.
The REFORMA site provides extensive online resources for libraries, including a Spanish-English dictionary, Spanish-language brochures and flyers, and storytime materials. The organization offers awards and recognition to libraries and holds events and conferences on Spanish-language literature and in support of outreach to Spanish-language communities.
Spanish in Our Libraries (SOL), although no longer being published, is now an archive of valuable information. This electronic newsletter helped to connect librarians and media specialists serving their libraries' Spanish-speaking communities.
Public Libraries Using Spanish (PLUS) is a growing searchable database that provides libraries with documents necessary for any library to serve its Spanish-language communities. Find printable card applications, signs, programming information, and more, written in Spanish with English translations. The site's owner is accessible by email and asks for users to share their comments, experiences, and document submissions.
WebJunction is an online learning community for librarians. The organization offers knowledge and support in many areas of librarianship: leadership and communication, staff training, library services, technology, and programming.
One facet of WebJunction is its Spanish Language Outreach (SLO) Program. Case studies, webinars, and materials (such as an action plan template and checklists) assist libraries in creating, maintaining, and growing Spanish language collections, services and programming, and outreach. Text to the site's Spanish Language Outreach Workshop Curriculum–including a PowerPoint presentation and a resource packet–offers in-depth instruction and support to librarians and media specialists.
These sites are only some of the resources available to public libraries serving, or looking to serve, their Spanish language communities–communities that are integral to the advancement of our nation and its libraries.
SIRS Knowledge Source and SIRS Discoverer commemorate National Hispanic Heritage Month each year by spotlighting the history of and the news, events, and issues affecting this vibrant and diverse population. Find articles, timelines, photos, and more.
Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
We are in the midst of Hispanic American Heritage Month! There is so much to know about the Hispanic presence in the United States and its impact on the country's development and its continued growth. Populations of Hispanic descent have thrived here since 1565, when Spanish explorers founded the Florida city of St. Augustine. That's 42 years before English explorers arrived in Jamestown. America has always been Hispanic!
While it's important to delve into the history of the Hispanic American community and meet prominent Hispanic Americans, it is also valuable to learn about from where Hispanic Americans have descended. For example, did you know that the beautiful South American country of Bolivia, ruled by the Inca Empire for centuries, was colonized by Spain in the 1500s? And that the mountainous Central American country of Honduras was once part of the Mayan civilization? Perhaps you can challenge your students to pick a country, research its history and cultures, and present their findings.
Or, direct their research with questions so that they can research for answers! Maybe you want to try a history question like "What Central American country was home to the Olmec civilization thousands of years ago? What other ancient civilizations lived in this country and what impact did they have?" Or a cultural question like "What is a quinceanera? It originates from the Spanish word quince, which means what?"
This information and much more is available on SIRS Discoverer. During the month of October our Spotlight of the Month highlights Hispanic American Heritage Month. Not only can your students learn about the histories and cultures of Hispanic countries, but they can meet Hispanic American authors, poets, politicians, musicians, civil-rights activists, and more. There's so much to learn about the United States and the amazing people who compose its beautiful diversity.
