Me too. What are you looking for help in? I am retaking AYA-SSH. I will be redoing Entry 3 Promoting Social Understanding. Have you received any other replies? Maybe we can start a new group.

Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Thanks for the response.

I am a new candidate, actually in EA (early adolescense), but I tryed
the AYA because the entries seem similar and there is nothing in EA.
I had a question about Entry 2, the whole class video on "Civic
Competence". It says we should use a "history concept, topic", etc.
and relate it to current real world events. I did my constitution
lesson with "how a bill becomes a law" and was going to do my entry
on the lesson where students research problems and write a bill to
solve the problem. We discuss and vote on each bill. I wanted another
opinion on whether this would be considered "history", I am beginning
to doubt myself. Any ideas?

I think there is a way to start a private group that cuts down on the
spam, I've heard of one from a friend who is taking the ELA boards. I
can look into that if you are interested.

** Call For Participation: Congress in the Classroom 2008 **


Congress in the Classroom is a national, award-winning education program now in
its 16th year. Developed and sponsored by The Dirksen Congressional Center, the
workshop is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information on teaching about
Congress. The Center will join with the new Institute for Principled Leadership
in Public Service in conducting the workshop.

Congress in the Classroom is designed for high school or middle school teachers
who teach U.S. history, government, civics, political science, or social
studies. Forty teachers will be selected in 2008 to take part in the program. 
Selection will be determined by The Center.  Individuals will be notified of
their acceptance status by April 30, 2008.

In addition to sessions dealing with Congress, the 2008 program will pay special
attention to the upcoming congressional and presidential elections.  The
workshop consists of two types of sessions: those that focus on recent research
and scholarship about Congress or elections (and don't always have an immediate
application in the classroom) and those geared to specific ways to teach
students about Congress or elections.

The workshop will be held Monday, July 21 - Thursday, July 24, at the Hotel Pere
Marquette -- http://www.hotelperemarquette.com/ -- Peoria, Illinois.

The program is certified by the Illinois State Board of Education for up to 22
Continuing Education Units. The program also is endorsed by the National Council
for the Social Studies.

Participants are responsible for (1) a non-refundable $135 registration fee
(required to confirm acceptance after notice of selection) and (2)
transportation to and from Peoria, Illinois. Many school districts will pay all
or a portion of these costs.

The Center pays for three nights lodging at the headquarters hotel (providing a
single room for each participant), workshop materials, local transportation, all
but three meals, and presenter honoraria and expenses. The Center spends between
$25,000 and $30,000 to host the program each year.


Tentative session titles are listed below. (NOTE: Additional sessions will be
listed as presenters are confirmed. More information about the content of each
session will be posted as it becomes available.)

> Opening Remarks: A View from Capitol Hill
The Honorable Ray LaHood, (R-IL, 18th District, U.S. House of Representatives)
CONFIRMED

First elected in 1994, Congressman LaHood has earned a reputation as an
"institutionalist," someone respected by Republicans and Democrats. A member of
the House Appropriations Committee since 2001, he announced his retirement from
the House effective in January 2009. As a result, the district is in the midst
of a contested primary for the first time in years.

> Congressional Insight: An Interactive Simulation of a Member's First Term in
the House of Representatives
Tara Smith, National Association of Manufacturers CONFIRMED

With Congressional Insight, you experience the high-pressured, uncompromising
environment in which legislators must operate. With increasingly tight deadlines
imposed by the simulation, you are part of a team that must decide which bills
to support, which committee posts to seek, how much time to devote to
fundraising, and what tradeoffs to make amidst constituent, party,
special-interest, and media pressures. The quality of your choices will be
tested in a reelection campaign.

> Sound Bite: Introduction to The Dirksen Center's Web Suite
Cindy Koeppel, The Dirksen Center CONFIRMED

Sound Bites are 30-minute sessions devoted to a single topic. In this one,
Koeppel, the designer of The Center's Web suite, will introduce the six sites
within the suite and illustrate how teachers can use them in their classrooms.
Almost 1.5 million "unique visitors" generated about 70 million "hits" on the
suite in 2007.

> Running for Congress: A Consultant's Perspective
Matt Bisbee, Illinois Executive Director, Victory Enterprises  CONFIRMED

Founded in 1993, Victory Enterprises is a comprehensive political consulting and
communications firm. Victory Enterprises offers a full array of campaign
services including survey research, media production and placement, direct mail
design, grassroots messaging, web strategy and design as well as one-on-one
campaign consulting.  The firm has been involved in over 1,500 campaigns. 
Bisbee will  talk about how congressional candidates are recruited and how they
develop a strategy for election.

> On the Road with Presidential Candidates
TBA

A reporter for a national news organization will describe their work covering
three presidential candidates.

> Reception at Bradley University
Workshop teachers

We will travel to the campus of Bradley University for a reception and tour.
Brad McMillan, Executive Director of the Institute for Principled Leadership in
Public Service will brief us on IPL's programs.

> Running for Congress: A Candidate's Perspective
Jim McConoughey, candidate in the Republican primary, 18th congressional
district, and CEO of the Heartland Partnership.  CONFIRMED

One of the three Republican candidates in the 18th congressional district will
discuss his experiences on the campaign trail. NOTE: the Democrats have yet to
select a candidate.

> Where We Stand in the Presidential Race and What to Look For
Tim Teehan, National Sales Director, Campaigns and Elections.  CONFIRMED

Campaigns & Elections is a nonpartisan publication with more than 84,000 readers
involved in the political process. A representative from the magazine will
discuss the state of the presidential race in July 2008 and preview the
developments we should be alert to.

> Sound Bite: Yes, It is Possible to Find Humor in Congress
Frank H. Mackaman, The Dirksen Congressional Center CONFIRMED

Relying on gems located in the archives of Members of Congress, Mackaman
provides examples of what constituents expect of their representatives. For
example, consider this request of former Congressman John Dent: "I am a future
inventor. Tell me of some of the inventions of the future so I can start on them
now." !

> Teaching with Primary Sources
Cindy Rich, Project Director, Teaching with Primary Sources, Eastern Illinois
University CONFIRMED

The Library of Congress's Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program works with
an educational consortium of schools, universities, libraries, and foundations
to help teachers use the Library’s vast collection of digitized primary sources
to enrich their classroom instruction.  Schools that have participated in the
program know that it encourages educators to embed primary sources into
curriculum through all disciplines and grade levels to build a foundation of
knowledge, enhance understanding, increase comprehension, and develop
multimedia/information literacy skills.

> From the Campaign Trail: Observations from a Reporter
Tanya Koonce, political reporter, WCBU Radio CONFIRMED

How do reporters decide what to cover in a congressional election? What factors
affect their relationships with the candidates? How do they know when they've
been "spun"? What qualities or skills are required of political reporters?
Koonce, who currently covers the 18th congressional district race to replace
retiring Congressman Ray LaHood, will address these questions and more.

> Predicting the Outcome of the Presidential Election
Frank H. Mackaman, The Dirksen Congressional Center CONFIRMED

Historians, political scientists, economists, and hobbyists all have devised
various models, some sensible, some strange, to predict the outcome of
presidential elections.  Mackaman will introduce you to several of them before
focusing on the one that has proven the most prescient.

> How to Get Your Point Across to Congress Members
Stephanie Vance, Advocacy Associates, Washington DC CONFIRMED

How do you break through the "noise" to communicate with a member of Congress?
Vance has the answers.  She advises clients on how to reach Congress people
effectively by understanding how congressional offices function and process
information.  She will introduce her online advocacy course - something you can
use even after the workshop ends.
