JHU day and evening classes are canceled for Tuesday, February 9, 2010 due to the snow conditions. To get up to date information regarding campus openings and closures, go to the Johns Hopkins University Emergency Alert. Appointment of Dr. Mariale Hardiman: new interim dean Dean Fessler’s retirement announcement: Gazette September 22, 2009 REGISTER NOW for a SOE Student Orientation – Learn about the services offered at the SOE and have your questions answered by a student service representative.
Tuesday, January 19, 2009, MCC at 6:00 p.m. or Thursday, January 21, 2009, Education Building in Baltimore at 6:00 p.m. To register, email soe.students@jhu.edu. See you then! It is impossible to adequately acknowledge in simple words the enduring generosity and inspiring support Johns Hopkins University has received over the past year from students, staff and faculty. So JHU has enlisted help from our amazingly talented faculty, staff and students, who have joined together to create the video at this link: For Christmas, Santa gave me the DVD set of the first season of the HBO show “In Treatment” – in which Gabriel Byrne plays Paul, a psychotherapist who runs a private practice out of his home. Each disc is one week’s worth of sessions with 5 clients. The last episode on each disc is Paul’s own session with his old clinical supervisor, who he started going back to for professional and personal advice. I am looking forward to watching the evolution of Paul’s relationships with his clients, from both an academic and entertainment standpoint; seeing how much I can relate to, and even what sorts of things I can “prepare” myself for, if you will. So far, it’s very enjoyable – entertaining, engaging, and thought-provoking. What I’ve noticed in particular so far, is how each featured client, in their own way, comes to Paul seeking “permission” – either trying to foist responsibility onto him, or seeking his specific advice about something. It’s fascinating watching the character do the delicate dance of neither accepting the responsibility for the client, but also trying to keep their trust and sense of self intact. I wonder how often then, our clients (or students, or intimates, etc.) do that – ask for our “blessing” as it were, on things they have already decided, but don’t want to take responsibility for…and we, in the “thick” of it, we may not even see it as such. The Department of Counseling and Human Services presents: Michael Seltzer, Ph.D. Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, Oslo University College Oslo, Norway An Anthropologist Living with Recovering Heroin Addicts: Lessons for Counselors This workshop presents a treatment program for substance abusers carried out at a therapeutic community treatment located in rural Hungary. The program was studied by an anthropologist who lived and worked with community members during 2003 and 2004. The community has long had success in treating substance abusers and today five years after leaving the community all but two of the graduates of the treatment program from that period live clean, sober and productive lives. It will touch upon those aspects of the program revealed by ethnographic fieldwork which appear to play key roles in helping the recovery processes of the members of this therapeutic community. January 28, Education Building (Homewood Campus), Room 225, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Feburary 1, Columbia Center, see room assignment at front desk, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. Any questions, please email ygobble@jhu.edu. Part-time Work at Tutor.com Enjoy the benefits of being a tutor with Tutor.com: Providing opportunities for students to compete and be recognized for their achievements makes a huge impact on student motivation and confidence. Below are the guidelines for two writing contests for students. The first is the MTA’s Words on Wheel’s poetry contest open to Baltimore City Public School students in middle school. Entries are due DECEMBER 15th so act fast. The winning poems are illustrated by MICA students and hung on buses and lightrails. I remember being impressed by the depth of student work on the glossy posters above my seat when I rode the lightrail as a MICA student. This made attending the award reception with my winning student and taking her picture on the bus beneath her poster even more exciting. I taught middle school art, so I would encourage teachers of all subjects to submit student writing to outlets providing students with a larger audience. The second contest is open to Maryland students in grades 3-12 and is due February 1st. The contest is presented by Baltimore’s Child and CityLit Project. The winning students receive a scholarship to attend the Maryland Writing Project’s Student Writers’ Workshop in the summer. I have had the pleasure of teaching at this camp and working with very motivated and imaginative students. After teaching summer writing in more general summer camps where some of the students seemed to have allergies to pencils, I was pleasantly shocked when not a single student in my class wanted to take a break because they were so into their writing. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to be published and attend a summer enrichment program on scholarship with other students who share a love and skill for expressing their ideas. Specific Details for the Contests: 1. Words on Wheels Poetry Contest Each year, the Words on Wheels poetry contest publish between 10-20 poems of Baltimore City students. The winning poems are printed on placards that are displayed on MTA buses and Lightrail throughout Baltimore City. Students from Maryland Institute College of Art design the artwork for the placards. In the spring, there is a press conference held to celebrate the achievements of these authors and artists. Any Baltimore City Public School student may submit his/her poetry to the “Words on Wheels” poetry contest. Teachers are encouraged to submit poems from their students to the contest. The following entry form details the guidelines for submitting a poem to this contest. All entries must be submitted electronically by December 15, 2009 to wordsonwheelspoetry@gmail.com.

The Johns Hopkins University School of Education What classroom teacher hasn’t had a student who struggled with mathematics? Each of the many potential obstacles to successful mathematics achievement has implications for best teaching practices. This seminar focuses on the current evidence for cognitive sources of mathematical learning difficulties, predictors of future mathematics performance, and cognitive characteristics of children who have mathematics disabilities. We will focus on how knowledge of recent research empowers educators to become more astute observers of behaviors relevant to mathematical learning. |
