Extractions: The Northeast Nancy Vigezzi School Analyses (the competition) Suggested Curriculum (the competitive applicant) To the outside world, the job of a librarian seems simple enough. Putting books away and answering questions seems to be all that is required. But one needs only to read all of the qualifications in a librarian job advertisement to see that this profession is much more involved. The profession of librarian today requires a much more technical base than ever before. After collecting and reading job ads from 7 states (New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts), I realized that there are many, many types of positions that librarians can hold. The ads were collected over a period of 8 weeks and divided into 5 categories: Academic, Public, School, Special and Non-library. They were then charted with the degree required, experience needed, skills, salary and any additional pertinent information. There were many similarities in the job descriptions within a job category. Most of the job listings had the following similar requirements regardless of job title, type of library or location:

Extractions: Many school librarians who entered the field in the 1960s are almost ready to retire. And their junior colleagues in public schools in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and, most recently, Massachusetts, may join them sooner rather than later, thanks to early retirement legislation. This turnover would be no problem if most states required districts to hire only certified staff and if library schools were flush with trained and ready recruits. www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/000612/lib.htm

Extractions: Mixes for Containers We recommend using a commercial soilless mix (available at garden centers, nurseries, and hardware stores) for starting seedlings, which are particularly susceptible to disease and require a light medium that holds moisture well. If you and your students are adventurous, you can make a soilless medium yourselves: Soilless Recipe Mix in equal parts: Although good for starting seeds, these soilless mixes are low on nutrients and tend to dry out quickly. For larger plants, you should find a heavier commercial potting soil that contains some sterilized soil or organic material.

Extractions: Home Who We Are Opportunities for Educators Advice for Parents ... Support for Kids Introduction School violence finds its roots in the complex and related problems of an individual child, a family, a community, a school, and a national culture. Understanding the potential effect of the various factors demystifies the causes of youth violence and makes it a more manageable problem. Communities that understand the causes of youth violence will be better equipped to develop local solutions to it. This section reviews the following factors: Characteristics of the Individual Child Child abuse and neglect can cause long lasting damage which schools and communities will have to confront. For purposes of this document, neglect encompasses a broad range of omissions. It ranges from the traditional vision of neglect that would shock each of us, to less obvious forms. It may be failing to protect a child from an abusive family member; it may be allowing a child to witness violence against another family member; it may be a lack of nurturing; or it may be concessions made so that a child spends hours in front of the television. Neglect varies in degree, and it can affect some children more profoundly than others. Child development research provides a foundation for understanding youth violence. Not all children who are subjected to a troubled home life, an inadequate community, and/or media violence resort to violence. But some children do.
