*Intensive Reading classes follow the grade-appropriate learning map above. Teachers use differentiated instruction and appropriate scaffolding to meet the needs of students.
Governor Jeb Bush signed an Executive Order in 2001 establishing the Just Read, Florida! state wide reading initiative. As part of this order spoke to establishing of a pool of highly qualified reading teachers through the acquisition of a reading endorsement, which consists of 300 in-service points or 15 semester hours of college credit.
Polk County is one of the state's Pilot districts for the Reading Coach model, Florida's springboard for the Reading First initiative.
Two of the most important goals in the district's Strategic Plan are opportunity to learn and monitoring of student progress. There is strong support in our district for the Just Read, Florida! Comprehensive Research-Based Reading Plan, as the plan provides a clear direction and a focus for enhancing the existing reading initiatives in our elementary, middle, and high schools. Schools are expected to implement a balanced reading program at every grade level in every school in the district. The district will provide training and facilitate the incorporation of the Reading Program. Through appropriate assessment and progress monitoring students will receive rigorous and relevant reading instruction.
Ongoing progress monitoring of student achievement is the focus. Professional development activities will relate to assessments and interpretations of the assessment data to drive instructional decisions at the district, at the classroom and at the school.
Our goal as a district is to ensure that every teacher of reading elementary, middle and high has the knowledge, the skills and the necessary tools for teaching all students to read. Our efforts are focused on ways to prevent early reading failure and to provide timely interventions to struggling readers. Professional development activities include training for our content area teachers at the middle and high levels. Our intent is to make reading everybody's business.
We do know that our district is becoming more increasingly diverse. This recognized diversity of students requires diverse teaching styles that do not stray from research-based practices. To that end, our teachers need both the knowledge base about how children learn to read and the ability to draw upon a variety of effective scientific research-based reading strategies to provide effective reading instruction for all children—including ESE and LEP.
The Reading Coach Model is implemented at the elementary, middle, and high levels in our district. These services have proven to be invaluable in our efforts to improve student achievement and to increase the level of proficient readers.
Our mission is to ensure rigorous and relevant learning experiences for all students. We believe, as a district, that these learning experiences will result in high student achievement.

Meet the future of Indigenous health
Three Indigenous medical students have been named UNSW's inaugural Balnaves Scholars, pledging to work to close the gap on Indigenous health.
Three Indigenous medical students have been named as UNSW's inaugural Balnaves Scholars, pledging to work to close the gap on Indigenous health.
Tyron Clayworth, Kyharne Biles and Andrew Julian, from Port Macquarie, Dubbo and Sydney, are the first recipients of the Balnaves Scholarships, each receiving $25,000 a year for the duration of their six-year medical degree.
Sponsored by The Balnaves Foundation, the scholarships are some of the most generous in the country. The three students were presented with their scholarships during a reception attended by the Balnaves trustees this week.
Led by the former executive chairman of Southern Star media, Mr Neil Balnaves, The Balnaves Foundation supports eligible organisations that aim to create a better Australia through education, medicine and the arts with a focus on young people, the disadvantaged, and Indigenous communities.
In 2008 there were only 120 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical doctors in Australia, with another 120 in training. UNSW is the only Australian university with an open quota for Indigenous students, allowing all qualifying students from the pre-medicine program to gain entry to the degree. All three Balnaves Scholars graduated from the program.
Last year, UNSW's Faculty of Medicine had its largest intake (8) of Indigenous medical students, with four more students starting medicine in 2009. In total, 19 Indigenous students are studying medicine at UNSW compared to an average of just 7.5 for other universities that offer a medical degree.
Mr Balnaves said he decided to fund the UNSW scholarships after seeing first-hand the deprivations in Indigenous communities in central Australia.
"I was shocked by the conditions. There was such a discrepancy between how Indigenous people were living compared to how the rest of Australia lived - it was clear something had to be done," he said.
The three recipients believe there is a real need for qualified Indigenous doctors to help close the health gap between Aborigines and other Australians.
"Indigenous people want help - there's definitely a need - but people are also embarrassed about going to see a white doctor," Kyharne, who studied her HSC in Dubbo, said.
"The simple things they could be treated for they let them go - and that just creates bigger problems".
The students have the opportunity to complete three years of their medical degree at one of the University's Rural Clinical Schools, in Wagga, Albury, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour.

Barbara Smith has played a groundbreaking role in opening and expanding our national cultural and political dialogues about the intersections of race, class, sexuality, and gender. Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around (State University of New York Press, ISBN 978-1-4384-5114-5), edited by Alethia Jones and Virginia Eubanks, brings to life the controversies, players and strategies that expanded the definitions of freedom and liberation over four decades. As an organizer, writer, publisher, independent scholar, teacher, and most recently as an elected official, Barbara has contributed to multiple freedom movements (Civil Rights, Feminism, Lesbian and Gay Liberation, Anti-Racism, and Black Feminism). She offers a distinct lens on the nature of liberation struggles and the difficult arts art of building political movements that embrace and reflect our full selves.
Barbara and colleagues are credited with the first published work that utilized the term "identity politics," defining it as a political analysis and organizing approach critical for recognizing and addressing the often "interlocking oppressions" of race, gender, class and sexuality. Now re-popularized as "intersectionality," this analytical approach has shaped scholarship, teaching and progressive activism for at least two decades. Her work has been a source of guidance and inspiration to activists and movements battling classism, sexism, racism, and homophobia both outside and within.
Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around is formatted as a reflective conversation through four decades of activism. Editors Alethia Jones and Virginia Eubanks were enlisted by Barbara Smith to explore her life from her childhood to her recent work as an elected official in Albany. They meticulously selected material from over two hundred articles, images, and recordings and a dozen original interviews. The book juxtaposes hard to find historical documents with new unpublished interviews with fellow activists and scholars bringing to life the controversies, players, and strategies that challenged movements to expand their definitions of freedom and liberation. In a clear, accessible, and conversational style, the book engages readers in fundamental questions that those committed to social justice must grapple with in order to deepen their work and heighten their integrity, accountability, and courage.
As for the editors, Jones is Director of Education and Leadership Development at 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and a former professor of public policy and politics. Eubanks is Associate Professor of Women's Studies at the University at Albany, State University of New York and author of Digital Dead End: Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age.


The 117th Annual SLTC Conference was a fitting venue to award the most recent IUT Continuing Professional Development certificates. The conference was held at the University of Northampton, UK onApril 26. Chair of the IULTCS Training Commission (Dr Jeffry Guthrie-Strachan) was present to recognise four individuals who have made the effort to advance their leather industry knowledge and skills. They join a number of internationally recognisable individuals who have committed to the IULTCS Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme.
The CPD Programme aims to encourage leather technicians, technologists, and scientists to engage with the leather industry as a whole. Applicants are required to submit a record of their leather industry activities based on five categories over the previous four-year period. Points are awarded for each completed activity and if the required threshold is met, they are then certified for a four-year period. This process needs to be repeated every four years to maintain certification. Successful candidates have commented that this is a useful process to help document ones career progression and engagement with the industry. The tool is also useful when planning career goals and future leather industry endeavours.
The most recent IULTCS-IUT Leather Professionals recognised in Northampton are Dr Addis Duki (Ethiopia), Adrian Leja (Poland), Limin Wang (China), and Karl Flowers (UK).


This month I got to tick something else off of my bucket list. I got to meet a real life spice girl!
Yep, that's right, I met Emma Bunton and she is quite possibly the most down to earth celebrity I have ever met!
Emma is an ambassador for Unicef and they have teemed up with pampers for their 1 pack, 1 vaccine campaign. For every pack of pampers bought, they will donate one vaccine to protect against maternal and newborn tetanus to a country that desperately needs it. Newborn tetanus should have been wiped out already, but poor access to healthcare means it is still a killer in far too many countries.
Although I am primarily a cloth nappy user, we do still use disposables on occasion and this is a campaign I fully believe in. As a mother, my instinct is to protect my children, and I will do everything in my power to keep them safe and well. Knowing that other mothers can't do this for their children and are helplessly watching them suffer is absolutely heartbreaking.
Since the campaign began 8 years ago, they have successfully eliminated maternal and newborn tetanus in 10 countries, helping to protect 100 million women from the deadly disease. There is so much more that can still be done though.
but I have chosen to write this post as it is a campaign I really believe in.

I actually haven't had my ring very long, but in the past three months I have worn it every day. It's shaped like a eucalyptus leaf, wrapped around to make a ring. I've lived in the UK for 16 years but Australia still feels like home so, when I was in Sydney in April, I bought the ring as a link there. It feels like home.
My ring doesn't instantly read as an object with a Queer history, but it is, because it's mine. I love Goldin's work because it captures the intimate moments of making and unmaking the self. We shape ourselves with material things, and perform our identities through belongings. They carry our shapes and history – their narratives are ours, and we can read them as biographies.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) has made significant progress in the Aleppo Governorate's northern countryside overnight, capturing 8 villages from the extremist rebels near the Turkish border.
According to the terrorist group's social media pages, they captured 4 villages last night and then 4 more this morning after a violent battle with Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), and Jabhat Al-Shamiyah.
ISIS has shifted its focus to this area of the Aleppo Governorate after losing large chunks of territory to the extremist rebels earlier this week.
With the extremist rebels in full control of Al-Rai, the terrorist group to push their way to the Bab Al-Salamiyah border-crossing from northern Aleppo to the Turkish province of Gaziantep.
"The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) has made significant progress…… …..capturing 8 villages from the extremist rebels " ?????
Are you sure, Al Masdar , you mean what you say ? ISIS captured 8 villages from the EXTREMIST REBELS ???? Is not ISIS and extremist rebels one group of terrorists ?
Do not confuse your readers , please.
Several different groups of extremists in Syria.


A few weeks ago I asked my wonderful friend (who happens to be getting her degree in graphic design) if she could design me a new header for my blog. Didn't she just do an amazing job!!!! She also made me a blog button, an etsy shop header, a flickr icon, etc. etc. I am so excited!!!! Everything related to my quilting is now streamline, which makes me extremely happy!!
Oh, and my friend does do side jobs, just FYI :) You can see more of her amazing craftiness over here. If your interested let me know and I will get you in contact with her.
Okay, So I have been seeing those cool mosaics popping up everywhere. I love them!! Unfortunately, I had no idea how to make them. So I decided to remedy that situation this morning. So about 2 hour later, (and lots of downloads to flickr :) I present you with my 2010 quilts Mosaic :) Isn't it fun!!
There are a few of my little projects not pictured but these are all the "quilt" quilts I made this year.
This is our family now :) Isn't it just amazing what blessings 10 years can bring!!
Grab your leftover jelly roll pieces. You are going to be cutting them into 5" long pieces. You cut these the same way you did your 15" piece. Line your ruler up so that the end of the jelly roll is on the 5" line of your ruler and cut, then slide your ruler down another 5" and cut, and so forth. You should be able to get 3 pieces or "coins" out of each strip in your 22 pile (the pile that you cut 25" off before) and 5 pieces or "coins" out of each strip in your 18 pile (the pile that you cut 15" off before) You'll have a little scrap off of each strip. Yippee, everyone loves scraps!!
Grab your charm pack. You are going to be using 30 charms now and setting 12 aside with your 25" long jelly roll strips to be used for the pieced back. Hint - To get an even distribution of prints on the front of your quilt, get the 22 charms that you were only able to cut 3 coins out of your leftover jelly roll first. Then choose your next 8 favorites. Now take your 30 chosen charms and cut them in half .
Grab your "coins" from your jelly roll and your "coins" from your charm pack and you have a beautiful pile of "change" ready to be sewn together.
Grab your yard of white solid and lay it out on your mat, aligning the fold line with the 0 horizontal line on your mat. Align your ruler along the last line of your mat and trim a nice straight edge. Measure in 1 3/4". I like to normally just use my mat for this, but if the 3/4" throws you, you can always double check your measurement by placing another ruler along the side of your long ruler and ensuring that the edge of your fabric is lined up with the 1 3/4" mark on your second ruler. Go ahead and cut. Now without moving your fabric, slide your ruler over another 1 3/4" (use your second ruler to double check if necessary) and cut. Repeat this process until you have 12 strips.
Lets cut up the 12 strips. Start by aligning your ruler along the horizontal mat line at 21 1/2 inches (just below where the selvage edge ends). If you don't have a 21 1/2" line on your mat, line your 1/2 mark on your ruler with the 21" line on your mat. This should make your ruler edge now at 21 1/2". Trim off the selvage edge.
Now grab the last of your yard of white. Lay it out on the mat just as before and cut another 6 strips measuring 1 3/4" wide (See previous instructions if confused on how).
Now go ahead and sew 1/4" seam along the cut edge of your two pieces. After you have sewn one set of coins don't stop. Don't cut your threads. Just feed the next set of coins through your machine. This is called Chain Stitching and it saves tons of time! So go ahead and Chain Stitch all of your sets of 2 coins.
This is what you will have now: a huge pile of attached sets of 2. Now you can cut the threads between each of your sets.
You should now have a few stacks that each look like the set of 2 on the bottom. Aren't they cute! So here is where your personal preference comes in. I don't iron here. I don't feel it is necessary for me and I like how fast and easy it makes this quilt go together. With that said, if you don't like working with pieces that aren't totally flat, feel free to iron your seams.
Now the process starts over again, but this time we are turning sets of 2 into sets of 4. Once again, when grabbing your pieces, try to avoid the same prints next to each other. Now just repeat the process! Lay your sets of 2 right side together, chain stitch you 1/4" seam, and cut your threads.
You have sets of 4 and you guessed it, we are turning those into sets of 8. You are a pro at this now, huh! Repeat the same process of lining up right sides together, chain stitching and clipping threads.
Now, I go ahead and press all of my seams in one direction. Do this on all 27 of your sets. Yes, that is right, you should have 27 sets now. If you don't look around on the floor, you have lost a few in the process.
And there you have it. 27 beautiful Change Rows.
This is the layout for your block. You will be making 9 of them. Just a side note before we get started... I liked to make sure that each time I line up a row that I don't have an identical print across from each other and that I am keeping an even distribution of color. I love the look of random, but I tend to try to control the random a bit :).
So we can start by attaching the center strips to the coin stacks. Go ahead and set aside 9 coin stacks. On the remaining 18 stacks, lay a 16 1/2" white strip on the right side of your strip making sure your edges line up. Once again, I didn't pin here but if you prefer to, or if you find your edges aren't lining up, go ahead and pin. Chain stitch a 1/4 seam on all 18 stacks, clip your threads.
Now pressing. I went ahead and pressed toward the white, I did this to avoid bulk. With that said, there are some prints that you will be able to see through the white strip to the print below. So if that bothers you, go ahead and press toward the prints. Once again, this is a personal preference thing.
We are going to take those 18 strips that you just sewed and sew them together to create 9 total pieces. So this is how you are going to line up your two pieces. (You will be doing this with 9 sets).
Lay your right hand piece on top of your left hand piece with right sides together. Just flip it over, don't spin it or anything. Go ahead and pin making sure your edges line up. Oh and double check you flipped it right. You know you are aligned correctly if you are pinning the coins to the white strip underneath. Now go ahead and chain stitch your 1/4" seam along the 9 sets, cut your threads and press.
Now you should have 9 sets that look like this. You are now ready to add on the last row of change. So grab those 9 rows you set aside.
Lay the final row onto your pieced block with right sides together. Pin along the edge. And once again, chain stitch your 1/4" seam, clip your threads, and press.
You now have 9 beautiful blocks! Don't they just POP!!
Now that your blocks are done, you are ready to get your top all sewn up. Well start by laying out the rows. Go ahead and play with your blocks until you get a scheme that you like. Make sure that your block alignment matches this picture. (ie Row 1 and 3 blocks go vertical, horizontal, vertical while Row 2 blocks go horizontal, vertical, horizontal.) You will want to mark your blocks so that as you pick them up and sew you don't loose this layout. I find the easiest way is to take a picture that you can refer back to. Done :).
We want to attach the vertical sashings first. Lay your 16 1/2" white strips on the right hand side of your first 2 blocks in each row. Once again, I didn't pin, but you can if you want. Sew a 1/4" seam along the indicated line. Press.
Sew your rows together block by block. You will do this the same way you sewed your blocks together. Sew blocks 1 and 2 of each row together first and then press. Then add block 3, sew and press. If you get confused look back to the instructions of Step 3, its the same just on a bigger scale.
Yippee Skippee!! Your rows are done. Add your long sashing strips and border, and you are done. Grab those 6 super long white strips that you made back when you were cutting. They are a little long but no worry, we'll trim any excess.
Lay a white sashing along the bottom of your row 1 and another white sashing along the bottom of Row 2. Make sure that you have right sides together. (Seriously, I had to do some unpicking because I wasn't paying attention here, arghh!!) I didn't pin, I just lined it up as I sewed it (again, personal preference). Sew 1/4" seam and press. Go ahead and clip off any excess overhang.
So now you are here! You are ready to sew your rows together!
When pinning, you want to take care that you are lining the sashing between your blocks up. To do this, pin your seams on either side of your sashing first.
Double check that they are lined up by flipping up the edge and making sure that the pin are in line with the seams of the sashing. Nice and lined up, okay! Sew your 1/4 seam along the entire row and then press.
You're here now! Isn't it just beautiful! Now you are going to add the bottom row the exact same way. Go ahead, you can do it!
You are almost done with the top. Now it is just adding on the borders and they are a snap! Add your two side borders first. Lay a long white sashing along the right side of the quilt and one along the left side of the quilt. Once again, make sure that the right sides are together. ( We don't want raw seams on quilt tops :). I didn't pin. Line up your strip as you sew your 1/4" seam and then trim the excess at the end. Press.
Add the top and the bottom border. And you do it the exact same way you did the side borders. I know you can barely sit still. Go ahead and sew and press!
And there you have it!!! A beautiful stunning quilt top!! Don't you just love your Sugar Pop N Change!
We'll start the pieced back by making the corner blocks. You need 4 corner blocks. Start by pulling out those 12 left over charms. Grab 4 and cut them in half. Now remember those scraps you had left from your jelly roll? Go ahead and get 4 scraps and cut four 2 1/2" squares out of them.
That's all the prep. Now you are ready to sew your 4 corner blocks together. Here is the layout.
Lay your top row onto your bottom row. Make sure that you line up your seam. Pin and then sew your 1/4" seam and press.
Your 4 blocks are ready to be trimmed down to size. The corner blocks need to be 6 x 6. You don't want to trim on the sides that has the 2 1/2" block. Line your 6" ruler along the side of your block and trim.
Okay, onto making your coin rows. We are going to do this the easy way! It isn't quite as random but turns out super nice for a border. Layout your 22 25" jelly roll strips. Play with the layout until you get a nice flow of prints and colors that is pleasing to the eye.
Once you have them the way you like, stack them up right to left. Now you are going to stitch all of the rows together. Start by getting your first two strips from the pile, align them right sides together. Sew 1/4" seam. Don't worry about pressing, it can wait. Oh, and if your ends don't match up perfect no worry, I left some wiggle room in the cutting for that. Go ahead and grab the next row on the pile. Align it to your pieced set and sew your 1/4 seam. Keep repeating this process until you have sewn all 22 of your strips together.
Press your seams in one direction. This is what you should have.
Now we are going to turn this strip into your 4 borders. Fold your strips in half so that they fit on your cutting mat. Line the fold line up along a horizontal line of your mat. Now you want to make a straight edge so line your ruler up along the vertical line of your mat closest to the edge of your fabric and cut. Measure 6 inches over on your mat. Align your ruler and cut. Repeat this 3 more times.
You now have 4 beautiful change rows for your border. Wasn't that easy?? And now you are ready to put the back together. Get your 1 1/4 yard piece of coordinating fabric. Make sure it is squared up. (I cut mine to 43 3/4" inches square so that the selvage wouldn't be left on.) Sorry, My photography skills are not near what my quilting skills are :) Here is the layout for the back.
We'll start by adding the side borders to the back. There might be a little bit of overhang. No worries, we'll just trim later. Lay each of your borders along the right and left side of the quilt. Pin, sew your 1/4" seam, and press. Trim off the excess overhang.
Add your top and bottom border. If you had to trim your sides, it is most likely that you will have to trim your top and bottom as well. However, this time you have to trim your sides first, so your corner blocks will actually end up in the corner :) Lay your top and bottom border out. Now, go ahead and trim off any excess so that you only have 1/4" overhang from the center back piece. Sorry, that doesn't make a lot of sense but the picture make it a lot easier to understand. Trim all 4 of your border edges as such.
Now you are ready to add your corner pieces. Lay your corner piece so that the 2 1/2" block is in the center. Lay the block over onto the border. Pin. Do this with all 4 blocks. Sew your 1/4" seam and press.
So this is where you should be now. You are so close. Now it is just adding the top and bottom border.
Lay your top and bottom border onto your center panel. Make sure to align your corner block seams (where my scissors are pointing.) You know what to do: Pin, Sew, and Press!!!
And Ta Da!! Your back is finished!!
And bind! Remember those 15" strips you set aside. Put them in a mixed up color order and sew them up to make your binding strip. There is a great tutorial here on binding if you haven't done it before.

Moderately frost hardy vine that grows in full sun to full shade, asian jasmine has oval leaves 1-2 inches long that are glossy and dark green. It has a compact habit and will grow prostrate on the ground or cling to a wall. It is the answer for anyone wanting that elusive combination: an evergreen climber with heavily scented flowers. The foliage is neat and unobtrusive, and makes a good background for the clusters of creamy white flowers that appear in mid-summer. It is particularly good for growing over an arch or arbour where the delicious perfume can be best appreciated.


With its last notable iteration in Bronze, the classic Air Jordan 5 is expected to return in 2017, donning a brand new colorway and construction.
Elevated with more lifestyle appeal, the basketball sneaker is revamped with a premium suede/nubuck upper covered in dark olive green, while tan leather tongues further add luxe flair, as well as complementing its overall aesthetic. Other notable details include the traditional mesh netting located on its sides panels being more refined and opting for a minimalist finish. Furthermore, waxed rope laces and icy translucent outsoles solidify its updated profile.
Update: (02/03) The sneaker will come in a special dust bag and box that bears a shark's mouth graphic — a design element that was prominent on vintage military fighter planes.
Update: (12/22) Jordan Brand releases official imagery and noted as part of the label's Take Flight Spring 2017 collection, which also includes the AJ 15 Stealth and AJ 8 Sequoia. This variation takes cues from the P51 flight bomber jacket.
Renz Ofiaza, News: This approach of reinterpreting classic Jordans with premium materials continue to be appealing in my opinion. I'm not against this iteration. It looks pretty solid so far.
