EWC Students Attend Teacher Town Hall
|
Posted By: William Jackson on April 30, 2012 EWC Students Attend Teacher Town Hall Brittany Glover and Michelle McNealy, students from Edward Waters College attending the Educational Technology class of Pro. William Jackson had the opportunity to attend WJCT and the Florida Public Broadcasting Service event Teacher Town Hall. Teachers across the state were invited to have their voices heard in a taped forum addressing Florida's high school dropout crisis. This unique opportunity allowed these two students to hear educators perspectives, experiences, suggestions and ideas about the urgent issue of the increasing dropout rate of high school students and the implications of failing the FCAT Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. The WJCT Studios was a great setting to gather teachers from around the state including Duval, Clay, Putnam and surrounding areas. The program taped will be re-broadcast across the state on PBS and NPR stations in May. Al Letson of NPR's State of the Re: Union hosted and guided the dialogue. Brittany Glover a Mass Communications major had the unique opportunity to see firsthand how technology is used to broadcast programming. Michelle McNealy had the opportunity to hear strategies, the use of benchmarks, standards and other measurements to assess student success, challenges and progression as a Psychology major this is very relevant to her profession with the use of data as a tool to apply prescriptive measures to control and monitor behaviors. EWC was well represented by these talented young ladies. The opportunity to take a photograph was also provided with Mr. Letson who encouraged them to continue their education.
