International President’s Message

My dear Alpha Delta

Kappa sisters,

Five months have

passed since the beautiful

26th International

Convention in Greensboro,

North Carolina,

with approximately

1,900 attending the

banquet finale. One

hundred forty-two days

have been filled with

Alpha Delta Kappa

excitement, October

festivities, leadership

training at fall meetings

and preparation

Jane Miller

for the holiday season. Each day I relish this unbelievable

dream of serving as International President; and

I do consider myself a servant for Alpha Delta Kappa.

Jimmy Durante stated in his humorous way, “Be nice

to people on your way up. You might need them on the

way down.” You can be assured that I need and respect

each member in Alpha Delta Kappa.

The headline for an article clipped from our county

newspaper shortened the word “Community” to “UNITY.”

Alpha Delta Kappa is all about “unity”—I observe on a

daily basis our strong ties of empathy, our sympathetic

care and concern for one another and our members’ celebration

of achievements of others. My feeling of unity

with each member increases as I view the photographs

and read the accomplishments of our chapters in the

Kappan. This organization provides infinite possibilities

for professional growth, altruism and world understanding.

As we approach the new year, Alpha Delta Kappa will

remain united toward Excellence in Action.

William Makepeace Thackeray (British author,

1811-1863) once said, “Next to excellence is the appreciation

of it.” In Alpha Delta Kappa, we recognize and

value excellence in our profession and in our membership.

Our members demonstrate excellence in the

workplace, in their association with fellow educators,

and in the communities where they interact. We honor

and applaud their distinction.

A challenge was issued by your International President

to each state, province and nation to begin one

or more new chapters before the end of the 2009-2011

biennium. The results of this initiative are already being

achieved. New chapters are being formed internationally;

I am so excited about the possibilities! Another

aspect of membership is the reinstatement of prior

International President

Excellence in Action in Leadership

members and the revitalization of chapters which have

lapsed. Recruitment of outstanding women educators

and retention of those who have joined are essential to

foster excellence. Congratulations to our International

Membership Committee and leaders at all levels who do

their utmost for outstanding membership!

In late October, my husband and I were privileged

to represent Alpha Delta Kappa at St. Jude Children’s

Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. If you

have never toured that facility, set this as a priority in

your travels. It is heartwarming to meet families and

patients, hear the remarkable stories of survivors, learn

about the research and success and meet the phenomenal

doctors, staff and family members of Danny Thomas,

who continue his dream. Even though I have been

there several times, each visit brings tears of joy and

gives me warm feelings to know that Alpha Delta Kappa

contributes so generously to this worthy altruistic

project. Congratulations to our International Altruistic

Committee and to all chapters who work to achieve and

report our phenomenal altruistic numbers!

During the month of November, many Alpha Delta

Kappa sisters joined the International Chapter in Kansas

City, Missouri, for the International Teacher Education

Weekend. This provided an opportunity to meet our

2009-2010 international scholars and their sponsors,

and was a remarkable occasion to visit our beautiful

Headquarters. If you have not shared this experience,

make plans for November 2011. Congratulations to the

International Teacher Education Board who makes this

event possible! Our World Understanding Committee

shares in the adulation of those attending.

The holidays evoke warm memories of family,

friends, traditions and a greater awareness of world

understanding. Our family of approximately 65 gathers

for a day of food and fellowship on Thanksgiving day. I

can only imagine what it is like throughout Alpha Delta

Kappa homes and communities as you observe your

traditions and celebrations. Whatever those may be, you

can be assured that I am thankful for each of you—the

lives you have touched as educators and the difference

you have made in the world. The festivities of the Christmas

holidays bring much excitement. Enjoy every moment

as you share the joys of the season with family and

friends. Best wishes as Alpha Delta Kappa Excellence in

Action shines among the brightest stars for the new year.

Happy holidays from your

2009-2011 International Chapter.

With fraternal love,

Jane Miller

When this biennium began,

I made a conscious decision that

this biennium was going to be a

celebration of and for Alpha Delta

Kappa. We are about to look

back over the last two years and

do a bit of celebrating. It may

sound like bragging, but where

I come from, it isn’t considered

bragging if you are telling the

truth and that’s what I am doing.

Two years ago, I stood before

you and asked what Agnes and

our early leaders would tell us to

do in this time when getting and

keeping members is so difficult.

I also told you that I believed that

they would tell us to get up and

get busy just as they did when

they began this organization.

You know what That’s just what

you’ve been doing.

Our chapter, state, provincial,

national and regional

membership teams are working

to keep their fingers on the

pulse of their respective groups

so that they can offer assistance

to those struggling chapters

or those looking for innovative

ways to recruit new members.

These teams have a vision that

no matter how bleak a situation

might seem, they can always

find a perspective that allows

them to be open to new possibilities—creative,

innovative ideas

that haven’t been tried before.

They are celebrating what’s positive

so that they have the energy

to correct what isn’t.

With the help of our regional

membership consultants,

Stacy Bruce, our Headquarters’

membership coordinator and Jan

Estell, our executive administrator,

I’d like to celebrate a few

membership accomplishments:

First, I would like to recognize

states, provinces, nations and

chapters that have been working

Excellence in Action in Leadership

hard to grow this biennium:

In the Gulf Region, Georgia

has added a chapter; Alabama,

Georgia and Jamaica have

shown positive net growth—

Jamaica for both years of the

biennium—and Louisiana Beta

Beta had the highest number of

new members.

In the North Central Region,

Nebraska initiated the most new

members with Michigan Alpha

Upsilon having the greatest

number of initiates, reinstatements

and transfers. Minnesota

and Wisconsin have shown positive

net growth.

In the Northeast Region,

accolades go to New Jersey; they

not only took in the most new

members, but installed a new

chapter and New Jersey Zeta

initiated the most new members.

We celebrate with Massachusetts,

New Jersey, Pennsylvania,

Rhode Island and Vermont for

achieving positive net growth.

I must commend the

Northwest Region; they have

been busy this biennium. They

are a large region in area,

probably the largest, but the

smallest in number of members.

There is a new chapter in the

works there as well. Washington

initiated the greatest number

for a state, with Washington

Alpha Rho taking the honors

for the chapter in that region.

Idaho and Wyoming have shown

positive net growth.

South Central Region always

wants to say they cover the most

area because they have Texas

and Mexico, and they may; I

just haven’t put the pencil to the

paper. They did live up to their

size this biennium and initiate

accordingly. I didn’t show any

favoritism with this next announcement;

the figures ‣

came from a Kansan. Texas initiated

the largest number, with

Texas Delta Kappa initiating the

most for a chapter. Mexico has

shown positive net growth.

One of the most exciting

membership ideas to come out

of this region is a chapter revitalization

plan that is emerging in

Missouri. This plan is the brain

child of Katy Pat Dorsey, whose

love of membership knows no

bounds. Katy Pat, I commend

you on this plan. I am not giving

details, just dangling the carrot

so that others might seek you

out and get the information from

the source.

Southeast Region is always a

leader when it comes to membership.

North Carolina and

Virginia installed new chapters.

North Carolina initiated the

most new members and we had

a tie in three states for chapters

initiating the most new members:

South Carolina Upsilon,

Tennessee Nu and Virginia

Alpha Phi. Kentucky, North

Carolina and Virginia have

shown positive net growth.

Last, but certainly not

least, Southwest Region was a

busy region. Nevada and New

Mexico tied bringing in the most

new members. The chapter

honors go to Australia Queensland

Alpha, adding a 67 percent

increase to their membership!

That is celebration-worthy! Ari-

Conference in Hawaii last summer.

Research was conducted

and after the data was compiled,

it was found that these two regions

were in favor of being the

first to host a joint conference.

2009 International Excellence in Education

Award Winner Shares Her Magic

By Deborah Plummer

Or e g o n Mu Ch a p t e r

Debbie Plummer is a

combination media specialist/

Title I teacher in Klamath Falls,

Oregon, with more than 30

years’ experience in education.

To all my sisters:

I’d like to offer a humble

thank you for such an amazing

honor. It is truly a highlight in

my life. I am considering either

getting my master’s with the

award or furthering my education

in the area of English (my

great love).

I am busily beginning a new

school year. I have just started

my drama class with 45 students

in fourth-sixth grades. We

worked with two professional

film makers last year and are

making plans to film another

movie this year. I have cast one

of my self-written plays, “Lewis

and Clark Embark.” I hope to

have my students perform it

around Klamath Falls.

The other day, a past parent

contacted me to work with her

daughter, a 16-year-old former

student, who is competing in the

Miss Klamath County scholarship

contest. We had a great

time, ironing out the details

of “Adelaide’s Lament” from

“Guys and Dolls.” I watched and

helped her put in the dramatic

aspects to improve her presentation.

I so enjoyed seeing

the growth she has made as a

beautiful, competent teen.

I continue writing in my free

time. It is the way I best express

myself. Life is good and I think

of all my sweet memories in

North Carolina. I can’t begin to

tell you how much being part of

Hudson at the 2009 International Convention in Greensboro, North Carolina.

this organization means to me. I

value every single sister. I have

known the importance of women

for a long time, being with

other women. I grew up with

two older brothers and always

longed for a sister. I attended

an all-girls’ Catholic high school.

It was there I came to relish

the friendship that exists only

among women. In fact, my high

school friends and I e-mail on a

daily basis.

As a young teacher, I knew

of others who had joined Alpha

Action in Educational Excellence

Delta Kappa. I kept thinking,

“please, ask me.” It didn’t happen

for several years, but when

it did, I never got over the privilege

Action in Educational Excellence

Classroom Management

And the Battle of the Brain(s)

By Linda Karges-Bone

So u t h Ca r o l i n a Al p h a Ta u Ch a p t e r

The History Channel aired

a fascinating two-hour feature,

“The Brain,” last night. 1 “Scientists

are only now beginning

to understand the most complex

machine in the known

universe—the brain. Go on a

voyage of discovery into the

evolutionary history of our last

biological frontier. From early

civilizations’ attempts at neurosurgery

to today’s robotic laser

surgery, revolutionary new

techniques are finally unlocking

the story of the brain. As a

result, we’ve learned more in

the last five years than in the

past 100.”

Interestingly, almost onethird

of the program dealt with

the unique role of the amygdalas

which we have focused on

as well in our discussions of

classroom management and

brain science. 2 These almondshaped

structures, one on

each side of the pre-frontal

cortex, activate to warn us of

danger and, in doing so, make

thinking and planning difficult.

It is like a “battle of the brains,”

with the amygdalas and the

cortex fighting for supremacy.

To that end, the Navy Seal

program, according to the

television special, reached out

to neurobiologists and educators

to find out how to teach

their candidates, who were

failing out of the program at

an alarming rate, how to master

the amygdalas and make

better, more focused decisions

while under impossible stress.

Does it sound like something

teacher candidates—or even

experienced, but stressed-out

educators—could use in classroom

management

Here’s the four step

process that the experts are

teaching the Naval Special

Forces, and which has already

improved their “pass rate” by

one-third:

1. Set clear goals before

the stress ensues.

2. Rehearse possible scenarios

thoroughly so that

they are “hard-wired” in

the cortex.

3. Use positive “self talk”

during the stressful experiences.

4. Practice deep breathing

techniques to lower heart

rate and blood pressure

while under stress.

Isn’t it interesting that Dr.

Fred Jones, acknowledged

“guru” of behavior management,

suggests some of these

same strategies in his “Tool

Box” videos 6 and 7 3 Remember

the “six second rule,”

before you respond with

nagging. As Dr. Jones reminds

Action in Educational Excellence

us: “Calm is Strength.” But,

that is easier said than done in

today’s chaotic school climate.

To help readers organize

your plans, or build a

“schema,” as we are fond of

saying in cognitive science, I

have developed a mnemonic

device to apply in designing

one’s own classroom

management plan. Educators

may apply my model in plans,

citing this article. I call it the

TRIP strategy. Think about

taking a “TRIP” through

your classroom day without

“tripping” over errors and

nagging in management:

Target the goals that

you want to achieve in your

classroom. Target specific

behaviors and teach them as

procedures until your students

master them.

Rehearse the right responses

for yourself and with

your students.

Inhale deeply and invite

your body and mind to work in

tandem. ‣

These almond-shaped structures, one on each side of

the pre-frontal cortex, activate to warn us of danger

and, in doing so, make thinking and planning

difficult. It is like a “battle of the brains,”

with the amygdalas and the cortex

fighting for supremacy.

Practice positive self-talk

to yourself and powerful praise

strategies with your students.

As teachers develop their

own management plans, it is

helpful to respond to questions

using the graphic organizer

on the website noted at

the end of this article. Keep in

mind some of the following:

• Fewer, more focused

goals are better.

• Coordinate your targets

with existing best practices,

such as Positive Behavioral

Interventions and Supports

(PBIS), at your site.

• Remember to shape behaviors

over time and to

consider students’ diversity

and prior experiences.

• Rehearse lots of possible

scenarios. Talk with your

cooperating teacher about

how he or she has handled

things successfully.

• Consider strategies from

both extrinsic and intrinsic

practices.

• Get enough sleep and

exercise, so that you

can access strength

and stamina under

stressful situations.

• Use “Dr. Bone’s 100 ways

to Praise” from www.

educationinsite.com to

help you keep praise

fluid and fun.

If it works for Navy Seals

as they endure the toughest

test, in which they must stay

underwater for 20 minutes

while master teachers tangle

and tamper with their breathing

lines and their bodies fight

the primal response to surface,

which would result in removal

from this elite program, then

it can work in your clinical

experience. It is a mind-body

connection in which the

amygdalas and cortex battle

for supremacy. Take the TRIP

and see if you can win!

Action in Educational Excellence

Of Convents and Sekolah Arab

Kampung Gelam Girls’ School’s Sports Day, circa 1940s

By Hidayah Amin

2006-2007 ADK-ITE Sc h o l a r

“Kenapa hantar anak pergi

sekolah orang putih, nanti

masuk Kristian!” or “Why do

you send your child to English

school, she might become

Christian!”

Many friends and neighbors

of my grandmother

Nenek were surprised that my

mother Emak had studied in a

convent where lessons were

taught by nuns in their long

habits. Great-grandmother

Hajah Aisah also felt pressure

from some Malay teachers who

warned her that Emak might

be influenced by her Christian

teachers and could abandon

her Islamic faith. They both

discouraged Emak from studying

in the convent. After all,

was it not sufficient that Emak

was already attending Kampung

Galam Girls’ School as

well as Alsagoff Arab School

where religious education was

taught Great-grandmother

Hajah Aisah argued that Emak

was being well-enough educated

at two institutions and

need not go to a third. Moreover,

since Emak would not be

expected to work, her English

education would be wasted.

In Hajah Aisah’s view it was

shameful for women of their

social standing to seek employment

as it showed that the

family could not afford to take

care of Emak.

Despite pressure from

Hajah Aisah, Nenek remained

determined that Emak be allowed

to learn English. Nenek

said that she did not want her

beloved daughter to feel left

out when friends spoke English.

My grandfather Datuk did

not object to Nenek’s decision

as long as Emak’s daily school

routine was supervised. I was

envious when I heard how

Emak had been chauffeured to

and from school. She did not

have to take the bus like my

brother Hadi and I did.

Emak said she was thankful

to have received a wellbalanced

education. She

learned English, math and

other subjects taught at the

convent. She was proficient

in the Malay language, culture

Excellence in Action for World Understanding

and history. Lastly, she was

well-versed in Islam and could

even read and write Jawi, the

Arabic script used to write the

Malay language.

When she left school,

Emak was even offered a

position as a Malay language

teacher but she declined. Unlike

some of her contemporaries,

Emak never worked in

her life. Some of her jealous

servants said she was pampered

and too lazy to seek

employment. Emak laughed to

hear such remarks and irked

them further by always reading

newspapers and books in

their presence. Emak believed

in seeking knowledge for the

sake of learning and not to

earn a living. Although Hadi

and I sometimes wished she

had worked and could have

paid for the expensive chemistry

experiment set we wanted

so badly, we appreciated the

Emak who stayed at home and

imparted her knowledge to

us. As a result, Hadi and I had

a rounded education which

included Javanese vocabulary

in our daily communication. ‣

girl for helping her mother

cook food to sell before coming

to school, the teacher

made her ashamed of her poor

life. Emak cried and hated that

teacher whose cruel treatment

caused her classmate to drop

out of school.

The family at Gedung Kuning,

the ancestral family home,

was very involved in formal

and informal education. Haji

Yusoff, my great-grandfather,

sent all his sons to English

schools and universities

abroad, such as the Al-Azhar

University and Gadjah Mada in

Java. One of his sons passed

the senior Cambridge examinations,

an equivalent to the

GCE “A” level exams, which

was a rare achievement for Malays

in that era. The daughters

were home-schooled, although

Nenek’s younger sisters

studied briefly at a school in

Rochore Road. Haji Yusoff also

employed religious teachers

to teach his children to mengaji

(read the Quran). Nenek

remembered how Wak Gayah

would teach her to mengaji on

an ambin (sling/strap) placed

under a huge kuini (a type of

mango) tree in the garden.

Haji Yusoff wanted the men of

Gedung Kuning to be responsible

and to take care of the

women’s well-being which is

why they were given priority

in terms of schooling and job

opportunities.

Although Haji Yusoff’s

daughters never had a formal

secular education, they were

literate, at least in the Malay

language. The bright Nenek

also taught herself Jawi. She

told me she regretted not having

persuaded Haji Yusoff to

allow her to study in an English

medium school. She believed

that she could have gone very

far. She even gave some sound

suggestions ‣

to her brothers on ways to

invest their money. Sadly,

Nenek’s suggestions were not

taken seriously by them. I also

remember Nenek always asking

me to interpret the English

movies we watched on television.

Sometimes I had to do a

running narration of a twohour

movie! Sensing my frustration,

Nenek said, “If only I

had learned English . . . .”

All my uncles had the

same education as Emak.

One of them was actually

sent to study accountancy

in sekolah makan tael, an

expensive private school.

Tael is a unit used to measure

silver, so this is a school that

literally “eats silver.” Nenek

even supported Wak Ema’s

daughters to study at Raffles

Girls’ School (Wak Ema was

her own adopted Chinese

daughter). I remember

Nenek bringing me to her

weekly religious class on the

second floor of Hajah Fatimah

Mosque at Beach Road. Being

the only child present, I was

left alone at one corner of the

room not too far from Nenek,

who sat on the carpet with the

rest of the ladies listening to

the ustaz (religious teacher)

lecturing. Nenek could have

left me with the rest of the

family at Gedung Kuning but

instead chose to introduce

me, at 3 years old, to a

classroom setting.

I also remember how

supportive Nenek was to

us. When she saw us studying

late into the night, she

asked if we would like her to

prepare French fries or Maggi

noodles (the instant noodles

Hadi and I loved). Nenek,

who never told us the extent

of Haji Yusoff’s wealth, would

always remind us how education

is worth more than gold.

She said that whereas money

could run out, with education,

one could always make more.

Florida Alpha Chapter Co-Sponsors Teacher’s

Conference Celebrating Pensacola’s History

Pam Schwartz, Florida Alpha Chapter, listens to tour guide John LeRoy describe the early

Pensacola settlement exhibit in the T. T. Wentworth Museum.

By Connie Brown

Fl o r i d a Al p h a Ch a p t e r

Recently, Florida Alpha

Chapter, Pensacola, embraced

the challenge of co-sponsoring

a teacher workshop/conference

held in Historic Pensacola

Village on April 18, 2009. Our

interest in this project sprang

from the celebration of the

450th anniversary of the

landing of Spanish explorer

Don Tristan de Luna on the

shores of Pensacola Bay. When

planning our programs for

2008-2009, members wanted

one of the monthly programs

to relate to the “Celebrate

Pensacola’s 450th Anniversary.”

Since I am on the Celebrate

Pensacola’s 450th Anniversary

Committee, I volunteered to

look into an activity relating to

our city’s history. Amazingly,

our ADK “meeting” soon

expanded into a “workshop/

conference” co-sponsored by

other organizations and open to

all teachers in the panhandle of

Florida. This type of community

involvement was an opportunity

This type of community involvement was an opportunity

for ADK to share the wealth

of knowledge possessed by

members of this organization.

All of us came together as a

team of supporters to make

this workshop happen. The

conference, which celebrated

the 450th anniversary of

Pensacola, was a joint effort

of Florida Alpha Chapter, the

Florida Council for Social

Studies, the Escambia County

Council for Social Studies

(EACSS) and the Celebrate

Pensacola’s 450th Anniversary

Education Committee.

Learning about our Past

In addition to numerous

sessions about local history, tours

of the historic area were offered

throughout the day. Alpha Delta

Kappa committee members

directly involved in writing and

presenting lesson plans included

Connie Brown, Marie Rowe,

Cherie Arnette, Cindy Redeker

and Melinda Beckett. To reflect

the collaborative effort of

organizations involved in planning

this conference, greetings to the

120 participants at the opening

welcome were given by Florida

Alpha Chapter President Donna

Harper, EACSS President Cherie

Arnette, Historic Pensacola

Village Museum educator Dena

Bush and Florida Council for

Social Studies Executive Director

Dr. Theron Trimble. The

heritage of our city dominated

the day. Two chapter members,

Bonnie Buck and Donna Harper,

designed table centerpieces

which reflected the history of our

city for our lunch at Heritage Hall.

The mood of participants

on that day was one of excitement

and eagerness to learn

lesson plans. Of course, the

setting in Historic Pensacola

Village created an ambiance that

promoted the significance of

learning about the past. We met

for registration and a continental

breakfast at the Museum of

Commerce, a choice location for

receptions, etc. Normally, there

is a rental fee for this facility

but since Historic Pensacola

Village was one of the sponsors,

the rental fee was waived. Our

local Escambia Area Council for

Social Studies (EACSS), the Celebrate

Pensacola’s 450th Committee

and Nystron Publishers

funded the breakfast. Freddie

Prettyman and Marilyn Rogers

assisted with serving. The

lunch at Heritage Hall, another

much-desired location for receptions

and community events,

was a delight. One teacher

commented that lunch was like

co-sponsored lunch.

Bev Reinschmidt staffed

the sales tables with altruistic

fundraiser items and worked

the entire time so other

sisters could attend workshop

sessions. Throughout the day,

there were many others who

gave a helping hand when the

need was apparent—typical

of an organization filled with

Evaluations were overwhelmingly

positive. One

middle school teacher wrote,

“This is the best workshop I

have ever attended; it was well

organized and the presenters

were outstanding. The only

downside is that there were so

many good choices for each session,

I could not attend them all.”

Executive Director of the Florida

Council for Social Studies Dr.

Terry Trimble attended and his

presence validated the role of

social studies in our area. Our

school superintendent, Malcolm

Thomas, made the announcement

in his lunch address that

Escambia School District would

fill the social studies specialist

position for next year. Since that

time, our own member Cherie

Arnette has interviewed and

been promoted to the social

studies specialist position in

Escambia School District. Congratulations,

Cherie! A factor

in implementing this successful

event was the collaboration and

sponsorship by various organizations

which support social

studies education. Key to the

success of our workshop was

the involvement of and support

from West Florida Preservation,

Inc./Historic Pensacola Village

Museum educator Dena Bush

and West Florida Preservation,

Inc. Executive Director Richard

Brosnaham. Collaboration from

all organizations meant we could

call on many folks to assist with

a variety of tasks. It was a lot

of work, and it took a village of

folks to make it happen.

Impact and Future Plans

One impact of this April

conference is the increased

interest of prospective members

in joining Florida Alpha

Chapter. Another plus is that

we raised funds by selling

altruistic items. However, the

most rewarding outcome is

that students will know more

about their local heritage

Teaching Children with Central

Auditory Processing Disorders

By Yvette Keel

Ge o r g i a Al p h a Om i c r o n Ch a p t e r

Think about how frustrating

it is to try and filter out static

on the phone or television so

you can process the auditory

information you need. Think

about a radio station bleeding

over the one you are listening to

while you try to hear it. People

with weak central auditory

nervous systems (CANS) have to

deal with that layering of sound

every day. They have to determine

which sounds to process

in order to function in their environment.

Imagine driving in

Atlanta during rush hour—horns

blowing, people cutting in front

of you, sirens sounding. Think

of the anxiety you feel trying to

cope in that situation. Students

with central auditory processing

disorder (CAPD) experience the

same feeling just walking in the

hall during the change of class,

sitting in classrooms or in large

assemblies. Even being in a

restaurant can be a problem for

individuals with CAPD. Imagine

what it would be like to try to

focus on instruction a teacher is

giving over the noise of students

typing on laptops.

Why am I interested in and

feel that teachers need to be

educated on CANS Because I

am the mother of a child who

suffers with CAPD. As an educator,

I have found that many individuals

with weak CANS go undetected

in our schools. Most

educators, including special

needs educators, do not know

how to accommodate students

who cannot filter noises out

of their environments. Since

behaviors shown by individuals

with CAPD often mirror behaviors

associated with attention

deficit disorder, many individuals

with CAPD are suspected to

be ADD/ADHD and are treated

for those disorders.

The great problem for

individuals with CAPD is that

educators are not taught how

to address students with disabilities

or to look for students

who have auditory processing

issues. It takes an evaluation

by an audiologist to determine

the extent of the weakness

of the CANS and which ear is

most affected. However, few

students who manifest CAPD

behaviors are referred to an

audiologist for evaluation.

My son is a perfect example

of how long it can take to get

help for CAPD. Allen was evaluated

for special needs services

in the seventh grade. It was determined

that he had a learning

disability associated with reading

comprehension and CAPD.

However, when the team met to

write Allen’s individual education

plan (IEP), the plan addressed

only a reading disability.

No adjustments were written for

CAPD. The conversation was

limited to a discussion of his

I made an appointment for Allen to be evaluated and after

in-depth testing, it was determined that he would benefit

Action in Educational Excellence

test results. He was not referred

for further evaluation by an

audiologist. As a mother and an

educator, I knew that Allen did

not have a disability associated

with reading. I knew that an auditory

processing disorder had

to be his problem. I asked our

assistant superintendent, who

served as the Department of

Exceptional Learning executive

director for several years, what

I should do at home to help my

child himself learn to adjust for

the CAPD. She said, “You know,

these are the kids we have really

never known how to help.” As

an educator I knew there had to

be an answer somewhere for my

son. I researched the problem.

I asked questions and talked

with audiologists. I was told

Allen should have been referred

to an audiologist for evaluation

to determine the extent of

weakness of his CANS.

Since the 1970’s York Rite

Masons, including my father,

have donated money to a

research center and diagnostic

clinic in Fort Collins, Colorado

where individuals can be evaluated

for CAPD by audiologists.

If diagnosed with CAPD, individualized

adaptations are crafted

to help with processing auditory

information and filtering out

external noises.

Dr. Joan Burleigh, co-founder

and principle investigator at

the Able Kids Foundation TM

, has

invented an acoustic filter. Worn

in the ear showing the greatest

weakness, it helps filter out

the most problematic external

noises. I made an appointment

for Allen to be evaluated and

after in-depth testing, it was

determined that he would ‣

enefit from a custom-made filter

and compensatory management.

Allen wears his left-ear

acoustic filter each day.

Dr. Burleigh and her clinical

audiologist, Megan, made

recommendations to be put in

place along with the filter. These

management tools enable Allen

to comprehend and remember

what is taught in class.

Clinic recommendations are

specific and individualized. For

example, the IEP team usually

writes “preferential seating”

as an accommodation. Allen’s

recommendation states that

he should sit in the center of

the room, no further than one

seat to the left of center and no

further than two seats from the

front of the room. This places

Allen so that his stronger right

ear is positioned toward his

teacher while his left ear uses

his acoustic filter. It also keeps

him away from such high-traffic

areas as doors and windows.

Adaptions for individuals with

CAPD may include recommendations

that students receive a

copy of the teacher’s or a peer’s

notes in order to make sure all

notes are taken and there are no

gaps in information; a room for

testing that allows the student to

be alone and in a quiet environment;

and written instructions.

Allen is very bright and

tested for the gifted/talented

program three times. He

scored in the 99th percentile

on the Torrance Test of Creativity

yet he has never felt

he was good in any particular

subject. Throughout his

school years, teachers have

constantly made references

to his lack of focus. I knew he

had a problem but I also knew

that it was not ADD. A child

who walks to and from school

every day, lets himself into the

house, gets a snack and completes

homework before his

parents get home from work is

not an ADD student. Allen has

been doing that since the end

of fourth grade.

The psychologist who evaluated

him for special education

services told me Allen is ADD

because he could not sit still

during the evaluation even

though he completed all of the

testing in the time allotted. I

told that psychologist his clinic

partner had evaluated Allen for

ADD and found no ADD behaviors.

The psychologist then said

that during testing Allen’s knees

shook, he could not sit still

and he appeared to daydream

when not doing a specific task.

The psychologist then admitted

that the morning of testing

had been disruptive. The school

had a lockdown. Drug dogs

were brought into the building.

There had been several announcements

over the school’s

public address system during

the evaluation. With a weak

CANS, of course Allen appeared

to be unfocused because of the

external factors.

We finally found his true

problem. I was directed to Dr.

Burleigh and the Central Auditory

Diagnostic Center at the

Able Kids Foundation. Now I

have a self-confident child who

is no longer defensive about

school. I no longer spend six

or seven hours a night teaching

Allen what he did not hear and

comprehend during class that

day. Now, we actually can study

and discuss material to be sure

he has learned the content.

What can we do to help

Remember signs of ADD may

not be ADD at all. Try placing

students who are unfocused,

cannot sit still, cannot complete

assignments, cannot recall information

that you have just given

in class, have low self-confidence

or are impulsive, hyperactive

and disobedient away from

doors and windows. Have these

students use sound-attenuating

earmuffs/earplugs when reading

or completing worksheets by

Action in Educational Excellence

themselves at their desks. Place

yourself close to these students

when you are giving directions

or when they need to take notes

in class. If you see a student

respond positively to any of

these, you might have a student

affected by CAPD.

I thank my lucky stars that I

found the Able Kids Foundation.

Unfortunately, this is the only

research center and diagnostic

clinic in the country with this

in-depth testing program

and technology. There is a

tremendous global need for

more clinics to be equipped

and trained to provide in-depth

evaluation. The clinic has

sliding fees for families that

may not be able to afford the

evaluation and the innovative

filter. If your chapter is looking

for an altruistic project, I

The “Giving Gene” Fills Christmas Jars

22

By Sue Kowalski

Virginia Al p h a Zet a Ch a p t e r

Five of us from Tidewater

had been anticipating the state

convention for over a year. We

could not pass up the chance to

go to The Homestead, a renowned

mountain resort in a beautiful

setting near the West Virginia

border. I missed the previous

convention due to the death of a

close friend; there was no way I

was going to miss this one.

Fewer than five days before

we left for the convention, the

phone rang at the Outer Banks

beach cottage where my husband

and I were. The caller

said, “There was a shooting.”

My long-time friend and

chapter sister was calling to see

if I had heard about a shooting

at The Homestead. Built in 1766,

the resort had never seen such an

incident. Two staff members were

killed. More calls and e-mails came

from across the state. We wondered

how this would affect our visit.

There was the usual excitement

about going, panic about

leaving something at home

and the euphoria of being with

friends in a beautiful setting. Of

course, one of the best parts is

the conversation along the way.

Traveling with a Past Grand

President, as well as my best

friend Carol, we could have

solved many world problems. I

shared my excitement about our

banquet speaker, Jason Wright,

author of “Christmas Jars.” I had

read several of his books, but particularly

liked the jars’ message.

As we drove from the

Tidewater flatlands through the

beautiful Piedmont foothills and

into the glorious mountains of

western Virginia, we could not

help but remember that there

had been a shooting.

We didn’t fear for our own

safety but were thinking about

the mood that would surround

the convention. All thoughts of

the incident vanished as we approached

the magnificent resort.

The staff was as friendly and

efficient as the surroundings

were beautiful. We never would

have known anything bad had

happened if we had not heard.

The convention proceeded on

schedule. The only reminder of

the incident came from the sales

manager as he welcomed us. Staff

members were coping as well as

could be expected. Our arrival

had been therapeutic; the staff had

something to anticipate.

Saturday proceeded with a

luncheon, complete with scholarships

and awards, workshop sessions

and the famous Afternoon

Tea in the Great Hall. Sales,

archives and creative arts were

combined with the unsurpassed

feeling of sisterhood.

We attended the reception

and banquet with anticipation.

I was excited to sit with sisters

from my chapter. Everyone at

the table was curious about the

Mason jars on the table. Knowing

the story of “Christmas Jars,”

I refused to answer questions. If

Jason Wright could speak half as

well as he wrote, this would not

be a typical banquet speech.

Jason was humorous, sincere

and a “real” person. He said

he felt that, unlike his siblings,

he had missed the “giving gene.”

He acquired this gene when he

and his family shared a jarful of

money with someone less fortunate

one Christmas.

He said, “I saw in my

children’s eyes the thrill of

anonymously giving without a

thought of being thanked.” As

he shared true stories of others

giving and receiving Christmas

Jars, sniffles filled the room.

Jason’s challenge was clear. If

everyone in the room filled a jar,

what a difference we could make!

Excellence in Action in Altruism

He said he felt he was speaking

to a group that would accept his

challenge. Additional jars and

copies of his book were available

after the banquet. Jason accepted

no money for these. Instead, the

money was contributed to our

state altruistic fund.

It was suggested that we collect

money to help the families

of the shooting victims. Generous

as always, sisters and guests

opened their hearts and wallets

and more than $3,000 was collected

and presented Sunday

morning to a thankful, tearful

resort general manager.

Traveling home from a

remarkable convention, conversations

were again many and

memories sweet. Not only had

we learned about leadership, we

had heard about ways and means

projects, program ideas and had

a renewed determination to make

things happen, even in tough economic

times. A simple jar filled

with coins and a few bills could

give someone hope in a difficult

time. Chapters could start their

own jars, add to them at each

meeting, and then present them

to those in need. Ideas were endless

for making a difference!

On Monday after Jason’s banquet

address a message appeared

on his blog. Following his recap

of the Virginia ADK meeting,

there was a note from the grieving

son of one of the Homestead

shooting victims. He had been

given a jar and a copy of the book.

He could hardly believe a group

that didn’t even know his family

had been so generous. His message

ended with the thought that

someday, when things got better

for his family, they, too, would

return the favor of a Christmas jar

to someone in need.

There was a shooting. There

was a message of hope. There was

a deed done by strangers. There

was a difference in all of us. t

A Remarkable Woman . . .

Reflections on a Friendship

By June Bellamy

In t e r n a t i o n a l Ch a p l a i n

Author’s Note: One of the benefits

of membership in Alpha

Delta Kappa is that we have the

opportunity to associate with

many remarkable women. They

are worthy of notice, not only

for their teaching abilities, but

also for their personal triumphs

and accomplishments. One

of these extraordinary women

is my friend, Juanita Tidwell

Jones. I know her because

of our membership in Alpha

Delta Kappa but she has a long

history with my family. When

my husband, John, was young,

he was her family’s paperboy.

I heard about her before I

actually met her because of

his stories about growing up

in a small town. It was the

mid-1990’s before we met. We

became friends immediately

and the friendship has grown

through the years. This is her

story, a small part of why she

is admired and loved by those

who know her.

Juanita Tidwell was born in

Manchester, Tennessee in 1926.

When Nita was only a month

old, her mother died of complications

from childbirth. Times

were hard so her father left

her in the care of her maternal

grandparents and three maiden

aunts while he traveled to find

work. Even though Nita only

saw her father several times a

year, she looked forward to her

visits with him.

Two of her aunts were teachers.

Each of them taught for

more than 50 years! At night as

they graded papers, planned the

next day’s activities or worked on

various school projects, Nita sat

between them, sometimes helping,

other times just observing.

As a young girl, she thought, “I’ll

never be a teacher. They have

too much to do and have to work

too hard.” Little did she know

that teaching would be her life’s

work and bring her a sense of

fulfillment and joy.

Once when she was sitting

with her Aunt Rea, helping her

with a school project, her aunt

asked her, “What is your life’s

ambition” Nita answered, “To

have a real family of my very

own.” Her aunt was taken aback

and said, “But we’ve always been

good to you.” Nita replied, “I

know you have, but I want my

very own family.” The idea of

teaching was remote.

At Shorter College in Rome,

Georgia, Nita met Dr. Matilda Parlett.

Dr. Parlett was a professor

of humanities and noticed Juanita

Tidwell in her literature class.

She saw that Nita was interested

in her lectures, and also interested

in helping other students.

Dr. Parlett called to offer her a

tutoring job that paid 50 cents an

hour. Nita asked, “Why me” Dr.

Parlett answered, “I have watched

you working with the other girls

and I like what I see. You are

inquisitive, interested in learning

beyond what is written in the

book, straight-forward and you

usually have the right answers.”

Dr. Parlett had planted the “teaching

seed.” After that experience,

Nita knew her life’s work would

involve teaching.

After graduating from the

University of Georgia with a

degree in home economics, Nita

Excellence in Action in Fraternal Fellowship

began teaching in Crawfordville,

Georgia, a small town near Athens.

All the unmarried teachers

lived in an old hotel. It was

unheard of for a single teacher to

live on her own. Residents were

responsible for building a fire

in their rooms. They all dined

together. During this time, Nita

met William Bailey Jones, an engineer

with the Soil Conservation

Service. Being single, Bailey also

lived at the hotel. During those

community meals, their friendship

blossomed into romance and

they were married in 1947.

Nita continued teaching in

the small community for almost

five years until her daughter,

Jinger, was born. In 1952, Bailey

was transferred to Carnesville,

Georgia. It did not take Nita

long to make friends. Later,

daughter Beth and son Billy

were born. Nita had “a family of

her very own.” During the years

of raising her children, Nita gave

her time to their activities, serving

as a Girl Scout leader, den

majorette mom, room mother,

2009 Alpha Delta Kappa

Scholarships in RevieW

Each biennium Alpha Delta Kappa International awards more than a quarter of a million dollars through

its eight scholarship programs. The following individuals are the most recent recipients of Alpha Delta

Kappa scholarships and grants. Because of these valuable programs, more than 90 individuals have been

able to further their talents, interests and careers.

Living Memorial Scholarship

Nancy McGee, Georgia Iota Chapter, is the recipient of the 2009 Living Memorial

Scholarship.

Nancy, an elementary ESOL teacher, is using the scholarship to travel to Mexico,

where she is studying the migratory cycle of the Monarch butterfly.

First-hand knowledge of the Monarch’s life cycle will enhance Nancy’s ability to bring

information, as well as enthusiasm, to her students in pursuing units of study that will

include environmental education and scientific investigation. The students will develop

new science vocabulary; develop language for observing, measuring and manipulating

objects in scientific activities; use math to analyze data; and develop a better understanding

of North American geography.

“It is my desire to make my students lifetime environmental stewards . . .” Nancy

said. “A deep understanding of the interdependence and diversity of living things will

benefit them throughout their lives.”

Delta Chapter; and Roberta Dean,

Virginia Beta Tau Chapter.

Delores Diaz chairs the Education

Committee of the Quinlan Visual Arts

Center in Gainesville. She has been

awarded a $2,000 grant to implement the

Center’s portfolio series. This program

is designed to provide college-bound art

students with skills needed to put their

best foot forward at college interviews

and present their work and therefore,

themselves, in a professional manner.

The series of classes and seminars

will provide high school arts students

with instruction on developing strong

portfolios and skills that will make

them competitive for scholarships and

acceptance to college art programs.

The Fine Arts Grants will contribute

to a program for underserved high

school visual arts students whose

schools may lack the resources to

meet their needs. This program integrates

the visual arts and language

arts to help students develop the

Cheryl Gordon-Pike is a music educator

at Owl Creek and Holcomb Schools

of Fayetteville, Arkansas has been

awarded a $4,000 grant to implement a

world music drumming curriculum.

is “Transforming Lives . . . Building

Community.” According to Rhonda

“The curriculum transcends the

mere teaching of music and delves into

building listening skills, community,

teamwork and respect. We are in such

need of this curriculum in our school.”

The Alpha Delta Kappa Fine Arts

Grant to the community drum circle

will fund the purchase of a set of highquality,

easy to play, traditional drums

to fit the drumming curriculum. The

instruments will help two previously

trained instructors encourage all

of the 1,080 students in these two

schools to become stronger community

leaders. They will work together

There is an annual $20

assessment for each chapter to

and each member contributes

were asked to contribute $16.30

$750,000 during the biennium.

In the second year, all chapters

were challenged to work together

to build the Foundation and

participate in the Chapter Challenge,

August 1, 2008 - May 1,

2009. Chapters were encouraged

to be creative in their fundraising,

choosing community-based

projects in which sisters could

work together building camaraderie

and public relations for Alpha

Delta Kappa. The target amounts

for each chapter were based on

chapter size: fewer than 15 members=$125;

15-49 members=$250;

50 or more members=$500. As

was mentioned previously, efforts

to educate members about the

mission and work of the Foundation

were ongoing throughout this

drive. The statistics on the following

among chapter members and

developing broad-based financial

The Foundation Board of

Trustees approved the idea

of planning evening events

in which our members could

participate during the 2009

International Convention. The

ticket price included transportation

and a small donation to the

ADK Foundation. Foundation

Festivities included a combination

of three activities for three

evenings: The Barn Dinner

Theatre; evenings at three North

Carolina wineries, Benjamin,

Grove and Iron Gate; and performances

of the Eastern Music

Festival. More than 730 tickets

were reserved for these events.

In addition, a commemorative

ADK-labeled North Carolina

wine was offered for sale to help

us celebrate our glorious sisterhood.

A small donation for the

Foundation was included in the

cost of each bottle.

The Foundation Festivities

provided fun for our members

and funds for our projects

supported by the Foundation.

With all bills paid and money

accounted for, we realized

$9,915.26 from those activities.

To all who attended the events

and to those who purchased the

commemorative-labeled wine

to add to their collection, I offer

my personal thanks for making

those innovative ideas such

successful ventures.

Winston Churchill once

said, “We make a living by what

we get. We make a life by what

we give.” Through your generosity

and hard work we can

achieve the goal of making our

can insure the continuation of

current projects and give an opportunity

to increase the altruistic

work of our organization,

By Ann Hudson

CH A I R M A N, AK FO U N D A T I O N

The answer to this question is

very easy: “U,” more correctly

spelled “YOU,” and your participation

in the many facets of our

wonderful Foundation.

There are many, many ways

to participate in the Alpha Delta

Kappa Foundation:

AK Credit Card,

Traveladk.org,

Shop.YTB.com,

GoodSearch.com and

GoodShop Each time you use

these you put money into the

coffers of the Alpha Delta Kappa

Foundation just by using the service

provided by the individual

item. Knowing our members

as I do, we shop, travel and use

the Internet as often as possible.

Why not do it to benefit the

Foundation It is what we call

“Free Money.”

Hall of Benefactors

By making an initial cash gift

to the Foundation of $500, you

become a member of the Hall of

Benefactors. You can continue

to make cash gifts.

Heritage Society

By making a provision for the

Foundation in your will or estate

plan, you become a member of

the Heritage Society.

Memorial and

You can make a contribution to

this fund for members or friends

whom you wish to honor or for

those members who have joined

Foundation Fund Drive

You can make a donation of

any amount to this fund. But

here is a very interesting bit of

information. Past International

President Colleen Jacobson did

some research a while back

and found that if every member

contributed $8.15 a year or

$16.30 for the biennium, we

could put around $750,000 into

the Foundation coffers. Can

you imagine the look on her

face if we could do that Last

biennium, just over $380,000

was raised. I challenge you to

double the numbers. Yes, that is

just a bit of a challenge. I would

love to see Colleen’s dream

come true.

Chapter Challenge

This is a challenge that asks

chapters to share creative ideas

for fundraising, putting their

names and A∆K out in their communities

while earning money

for the Foundation. Think

about all the creative brains in

your chapter. Set aside time at

a meeting to plan an activity to

earn money for the Foundation.

This can be a one-time event or

an event over time. Each chapter

received information on the

2009-2011 Chapter Challenge

in her August packet. You are

and think outside the box! You

can make a difference.

Ka r e n Le m k e , Ma i n e Bet a Ch a p t e r — Karen, who is on the faculty of St. Joseph’s College, Standish, Maine, was a

recent speaker at York County Senior College in Saco, Maine. Her presentation, “Surviving the Titanic,” was based on Sharon

Landgrebe

were 705 survivors, with a larger percentage of upper class passengers than passengers in steerage. Eight-year-old Marshall,

who was traveling with his family, was rescued while wrapped in someone’s luxurious fur coat. In 1986, Karen and

her husband interviewed Drew at his home in Rhode Island, six weeks before his death. Karen closed her talk with slides.

Sue, Strathmillan Elementary School principal, was nominated by her peers and selected by a national committee

of educational, community and business leaders. She attended a Toronto awards dinner and four-day

Executive Leadership Training Program which, she said, was a rewarding leadership experience. It focused on how

principals can make a profound difference, changing the context in which teachers and students learn. It also

Each year the Outstanding Principals become National Academy of Principals members. Sue discusses leadership

issues with her national peers in an online forum and she will mentor colleagues in their home schools.

County Board of Education for their students’ excellent achievement on the 2008 Maryland

School Assessments. Both are educators at the Chapel District Elementary School, where

Maryland Xi Chapter President-Elect Elizabeth Cassidy is principal.

Ju d i t h Mo n g i n, Io w a Pi Ch a p t e r — Has earned her National Board Certification. Judith is a

middle school teacher in the Ames Community School District. National Board Certification

is a voluntary process established by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards

and is achieved through an assessment that takes nearly a year to complete. Throughout the

assessment process, teachers document their subject matter knowledge, provide evidence that

they know how to teach their subjects to students most effectively, and demonstrate their ability

to manage and measure student learning. The assessments are based on standards developed

by the national board.

Ma b e l Je a n Mo r r is o n , Fl o r i d a Fidelis Ta u Ch a p t e r — Laurel Hill School has dedicated a rose garden to Mabel

Jean. A dedication party was held to celebrate her work in education, which, her chapter sisters said, has been

extensive. “She has been a teacher, administrator and mentor in the school system for many years. She’s made

a tremendous difference in many lives throughout her career, and has continued to do so after her retirement.

Her encouraging words have always been, ‘You can do it, go for it and do it well or don’t do it at all.’”

Mabel Jean was also inducted into the Okaloosa County Women’s Hall of Fame in honor of her community

accomplishments and willingness to help others. Mabel Jean has been a member of Alpha Delta Kappa since 1954.

Theresa Pi e r c e, No r t h Ca r o l i n a Ga m m a Th e t a Ch a p t e r — Named 2009 North Carolina Gilder Lehrman

Preserve American History Teacher of the Year. As a state finalist, Pierce is eligible to compete for the national title, awarded by

the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

Theresa was recognized for her “love of history and for her creative ‘out of the box’ teaching methods.”

“Focusing on learners when I teach makes it meaningful to them,” Theresa said. “It will lead them to a better appreciation

for the past. Taking field trips, handling artifacts and acting out history makes history relevant.”

The History Teacher of the Year Award recognizes outstanding American history teachers from elementary school through

high school for their efforts in teaching the crucial importance of American history education. Along with the award, Theresa

will receive a $1,000 honorarium and the Rowan-Salisbury School System will receive a core archive of history books and materials

for the district’s library.

Ch r i s t i n e Williams Powell, Ge o r g i a Rh o Ch a p t e r — Named 2008-2009 Muscogee County School District’s Teacher

of the Year by the Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation (MEEF) at its annual banquet. Christine, an English,

art history and journalism teacher at Northside High School, is Georgia Rho Chapter’s president-elect. Christine is

in her seventh year of teaching. She serves on her school’s leadership team and helps with various drama department

productions.

“My philosophy of teaching is simple: It’s all about relationships. If we, as teachers, do not strive to ‘get’ our students,

to know them, to connect with them as unique individuals, we are limited in what we can teach them,” Christine said.

Allison Ro b e r t s , Tennessee Ch i Ch a p t e r — Elected American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) Region IV

director-elect. Her responsibilities are to attend all AASL meetings, facilitate discussions at Region IV’s table and

attend AASL Board Meetings. She will meet with the vice presidents/presidents of Region IV to discuss concerns

and recommendations and will take the information to the AASL Affiliate Assemblies.

Allison first became involved with library media specialist connections at the local level when she transferred

to Chattanooga in 1999. She organized and facilitated monthly meetings of school librarians. She also planned and

implemented county in-service programs for library media specialists.

She became involved at the state level when she was elected vice president of the Tennessee Association of School

Librarians (TASL) in 2004. As president in 2005 she organized, facilitated and managed four workshops on collection analysis.

Since 2005 she has continued as TASL professional development chairperson, scheduling two workshops each year.

Valerie Session, Fl o r i d a Delt a Ch i Ch a p t e r — Presented with Santa Rosa County’s Fine Arts Teacher of the Year Award by the

Santa Rosa Arts and Culture Foundation. Valerie has been the drama teacher at Pace High School since 2004. She received her

B.A. in sociology at the University of Oregon Eugene. She spends time before and after school building sets and having auditions

and rehearsals. She holds drama camps on Saturdays and fundraisers for students to attend competitions and summer

educational trips. Students involved in the arts are more likely to do well on standardized tests. Her students have been to

All-State Chorus and had superior ratings at district and state competitions. They have performed at Relay for Life and other

community events. She has directed spring musicals such as “Bye, Bye, Birdie” and “South Pacific.” She finds alternative venues

for the community productions because the school has no auditorium.

Binh Rybacki, an honorary member of Colorado Alpha Lambda Chapter

in Loveland, is the founder of Children of Peace International. After

fleeing the war-torn country of Vietnam in her childhood as Communist

troops overran Saigon, Binh returned as an adult in 1993 to find family and make

peace with her homeland. Because of what she saw, she quickly dedicated her life

to helping today’s children of Vietnam. Children of Peace International’s goal is to

help improve the lives of children who might otherwise be working as street peddlers

and prostitutes. Children of Peace provides medical care, serving more than

6,000 children spread across 14 schools and orphanages. It offers scholarships and

vocational training, and provides medical equipment, training and other support for

hospitals throughout Vietnam.

At the chapter’s December 2008 meeting, Binh reminded the membership of

her life’s purpose in helping the children of Vietnam, and informed them of current

needs with a slide show. That evening, chapter members collected $300 to help

provide Christmas dinner to children in Vietnam. In previous years, the chapter

has also collected a variety of school supplies, including used crayons that were

remolded and issued to Vietnamese students.

Classical pianist Louise Billaud delivered a lecture-recital, “Incantations from the

Popol Vuh,” to fellow members of Virginia Alpha Phi Chapter at the June 2009 meeting.

The premier performance of this lecture-recital was given prior to its presentation

at the International Conference of the College Music Society in Zagreb, Croatia, on

July 1 at the Music Academy.

In her lecture, Louise explained that Kent Holliday, composer of “Incantations from

the Popul Vuh,” drew his inspiration for the work from the “Popol Vuh,” the sacred book

of the ancient Quiché Maya, and from his travels to the Mayan temples in the Guatemalan

jungles. According to Holliday, the narrative begins with an account of the gods’

creations and traces the awakening of Maya civilization. In the tale, Hero Twins go

from the Middle World of humans to the underworld to be tested and to overcome the Lords of Death. They are eventually

deified and become the Sun and the Moon.

Using the entire keyboard, Billaud performed Holiday’s musical description of the beginning

of time and the trials and triumphs of the Hero Twins. She described “Incantations

from the Popol Vuh” as a “forceful musical statement which explores the depth of the pianist’s

abilities and the instrument’s wide range of colors, sonorities, dynamics and power.”

Louise Billaud is assistant professor of Music at New River Community College in

Dublin, Virginia. She is also a doctoral student in music education at Boston University.

Maryland Upsilon Chapter sisters Beth Wisecup and Avadna Coghill shared a slide

show of their Panama trip with the chapter at its February 2009 meeting. Beth had taken

pictures of the native people and their environment and Avadna wrote a script.

Hasta Inc. was established by an Episcopal missionary, Jo Ellen Nutter, to support medical

clinics in outlying areas, staffed and supported with money from congregations in the

United States. Jo Ellen asked Beth and Avadna to record this work to share with donors. The

project served Camposino farmers and indigenous Indians. The tribes involved were the

Embera, Kuna and Gnobi. The pictures gave a view of the unique qualities of each tribe.

Beth and Avadna said the people were kind and happy to talk of their beliefs. “Jo Ellen

had established excellent rapport with the people which helped in communication with

them,” they said. Even tribes fairly close to Panama City were very third-world in their

amenities. They were close to modern life but simple in their way of living.” One young

man described city life as “like jail.” He had returned to his village after living in the city.

He was growing food, making Panama hats and said he was much more content than he

had been in the city, where he had to lock his door and watch where he went all the time.

Chapter members said they were interested to hear about a Panama teacher who earned a

salary of $500 a month and had a lovely modern home and garden in an outlying area.

When Avadna and Beth came home, they said they felt thankful and blessed for all

the privileges in the United States, and were very impressed with the warmth and kindness

they felt as they traveled around Panama.

Vermont Delta Chapter met Abby MacPhail when she was a student at

the School for International Training in Brattleboro. She shared her plans to

intern in Nairobi, Kenya and do research for her masters’ thesis, “The Role of

Social Justice Education in Empowering Sweatshop Workers.”

Upon arrival in Kenya, Abby began volunteering in Kibera. It was here

that she was introduced to John Adoli and Kibera Hamlets. Abby said, “sadly,

too many Canadians, Americans and Europeans come here and . . . benefit

academically from the poverty and exploitation of others by studying it and

publishing papers about it and leaving the situation exactly the way they

found it.” She began to make some changes by letting her parents, friends

and Delta Chapter know of the needs.

When she sent pictures of the second largest slum in Africa and told the

chapter about her projects, sisters chose to support them as altruistic projects.

Abby used some of that money to provide day care for some women at

the “free trade zone” factories. The rest was spent on supplies for her teaching

venue. Abby taught English to women laborers and worked on teaching

them skills so that they might obtain better working conditions. (See Abby’s

article in the May 2009 Kappan).

Abby spoke to Vermont Delta Chapter in November 2008 and expressed her

appreciation for the help given her by Vermont Delta and Beta Chapters and a

Connecticut chapter. After the meeting, members asked Abby to stay in touch.

Abby completed the defense of her thesis in December 2008 and went to

“Trading Sugar: Younger Girls, Older Men, and Gender Inequality in a Kenyan Slum.” Abby worked with six young women

who had been prostitutes. She e-mailed her “Finding Her Here” booklet that contained poetry and writings by the women.

She also included information about the cost of further education that would help these women sustain themselves.

With donations from the Vermont Executive Board, Delta Chapter and individuals, $1,045 was sent to Abby. In

Kenya, it is enough to support two women in their quest to attend school to get diplomas.

To Dream the Impossible Dream—Proud sister tells of Radnor’s First K-12 Mainstreamed Down Graduate

“I’m sorry, but he won’t even know enough to come inside when it’s raining.”

That was the bleak prediction the genetic specialist gave my parents after the birth of their son, Kevin, who has

Down syndrome. Nineteen years have passed since then and in just a matter of weeks, my brother, Kevin, will walk

across the stage of his public high school and graduate. . . . He will also be the first student with mental retardation in

Radnor Township to be included in kindergarten through 12th grade.

. . . Down syndrome does not define Kevin. No, just take a look past the exterior and you will see a boy with

dreams and goals, and one who is fully capable of achieving them.

. . . Kevin is blessed to have had such amazing and dedicated teachers who have worked tirelessly over the past 12

years to help him accomplish his goals. He is blessed that the Radnor administration was willing to try the impossible

and do what had never been done before with inclusion — because in the words of former Wayne Elementary School

principal Charles Shupe, “It is the right thing to do.”

. . . He is the portrait of successful inclusion. (Oh, and trust me, my brother wouldn’t be caught dead standing in the rain!)

An article by Immediate Past North Central Regional Membership Consultant

Sherri DeLaHunt, Minnesota Xi Chapter, praising Alpha Delta Kappa

and her chapter sisters was recently published in “Her Voice,” a Brainerd

magazine. The article is excerpted below:

The members of Minnesota Xi Chapter represent a combined total of

more than 750 years of teaching at all levels from pre-school through college.

Local altruistic projects include: Salvation Army; Mid-Minnesota Women’s

Center; Brainerd Public Schools; Central Lakes College; and Brainerd

Lakes Race for the Cure.

So who are these teachers and what are their stories

Laura Larson—40 Years of Service—A Life Well Lived

Laura Siegel Bowman Larson, 90-year-old Fort Ripley native, began her teaching career—after completing one

year of normal training in 1938—in a one-room schoolhouse with about 20 students in grades 1-8. Laura’s typical

teaching day started with pumping water, starting the fire and writing the lessons for all grades on the blackboards,

and ended after washing the blackboards, sweeping the floor and emptying the water from the drinking fountain crock.

She was paid $60 per month and felt lucky. Laura remembers teaching young men very near her age, who only came

to school in the winter when not needed on the farm.

Laura earned her two-year degree in 1949 and bachelor’s degree in 1959 from St. Cloud State . . . Laura taught

29 years in the Brainerd district and retired in 1984.

Michelle and Erica Ruen—Education: A Family Tradition

Michelle Bahr Ruen Severson received her bachelor’s degree from Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas, in

1981 and her master’s degree from Hamline. Michelle has taught kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades in Kansas and

at Baxter Elementary School for 24 years. Michelle joined Xi Chapter in 2001. “What drew me to ADK is the altruism

and community outreach,” she said.

Michelle always knew she wanted to become a teacher. She loved helping in her mother’s classroom as early as

first grade. Michelle’s daughter Erica, 24, was the recipient of the 2004 Xi Chapter ADK Scholarship, awarded to a

young woman who intends to pursue a career in education and who possesses exemplary professional and personal

characteristics. Erica shares her mother’s passion for teaching in the primary grades. She frequently visited and

helped in her mother’s classroom, just as Michelle did for her own mother. Erica graduated from Northwestern College,

Minneapolis, in December 2008 and now teaches in the Brainerd school district.

Xi Chapter members already have plans to invite Erica, when eligible, to join them in carrying on the proud

tradition of membership in Alpha Delta Kappa.

Many needy people were a little warmer this past winter thanks to the effort of a group of knitters from a retirement

village in Brisbane, Australia. They rallied to a call from Queensland Alpha Chapter for knitted blanket squares.

Past Queensland Alpha Chapter President Carolyn Nuttall, daughter of a resident in the village, said she was delighted

with the residents’ immediate enthusiasm. Knitters soon found their needles and wool and set to work. Many helped

with advice. One keen gentleman and knitter took a trip to the city to buy wool and needles to donate to anyone who

wanted to knit. He had so many requests that he had to take down the notice in the lift. He said, “This is the best thing

that has happened. People are meeting and talking.” Another resident said, “you can’t get a decent conversation these

days, because everyone is heads-down knitting!

After two months, 215 eight-inch squares of all colours and combinations were knitted and delivered to the Uniting

Church to be sewn into blankets. “It was a magnificent effort from the knitters who said they enjoyed having ‘something

to do,’” said Carolyn. “Our members were motivated to help the needy but unknowingly helped a group of elderly people

make their own altruistic contribution. It was a happy occasion for us all.”

Book and Blanket Bundles are prepared by Washington Alpha

Upsilon Chapter sisters at each January meeting. “It’s always a lively

meeting, as both scissors and sisters move at a brisk clip,” members

said. “We make lap blankets to accompany stacks of books for children

whose parents attend the alternative high school in Marysville.” The

books and fleece blanket bundles are tied together with colorful ribbons

and a poem which encourages the importance of reading to a child.

“I wanted to do something special. I wanted my dress to make a difference like we do in ADK.

The search for something special led me to Making Memories. Its website asked brides to consider

donating their wedding dresses to the Brides Against Breast Cancer division. The foundation resurrects

the dresses, giving them new life as other brides’ ‘dream gowns.’ Proceeds from the sale help

grant wishes and memory-making events for women who are losing their battles with breast cancer.

“As with most chapters, Alabama Theta Chapter has had close and personal experiences with

breast cancer. I donated my dress in honor of my Alpha Delta Kappa sisters who have courageously

faced this disease. Keep up the fight, sisters!”

“Children’s books are unbelievably expensive in South Africa and most children do not have

access to them at all,” said Melanie Commons, Idaho Sigma Chapter. “My ADK sisters helped

me purchase more than 300 books. My son Jordan Hyde and I were able to deliver them to

about 300 children in Johannesburg and Lesotho. It was the opportunity of a lifetime.”

Melanie said Jordan had been in Africa for two years and she was able to travel there

before accompanying him home. “We spent two weeks on safaris and traveled to five different

African countries,” she said. “During the years Jordan spent there, he’d fallen in

love with the country and the people. We wanted to repay them for being so good to him.

We have a dear friend there, Sharon Wood, who is a teacher. She knew of schools in dire

need of books.”

One such Johannesburg school is run by Reverend Sharon Denni. “The students are

at school so we can use them all year. The colors and pictures are amazing for them.

They will help us teach them English as well. It is a wonderful gift.”

Melanie and Jordan went to Lesotho, a small African country, and delivered books to

Maryland Chi Chapter created an “Altruistic Apple Tree” for the 2008 Maryland

Alpha Delta Kappa State Conference. The idea came from the 2008-2010

Maryland theme. Goals revolve around the acrostic, “APPLE: Access, Plan,

Promote, Lead and Excel.” Immediate Past Chapter President Eileen Bogdanowicz

took on the challenge. The tree began to take shape with two science project

boards, duct tape, paintbrush, sponge and paint. The shape became 6-and-a-half

feet tall. Eileen’s husband Chuck used wood, nuts, bolts and washers for a support

to make the tree self-standing. For a $5 donation, a sister could have her

name printed on a die-cut apple in memory or in honor of someone. The tree

had to be huge because Eileen received pages and pages of names; it had to be

transported in sections. Chapter President Joan Kraft and President-Elect Cathy

Springstead, along with Cathy Grantham, Judy Hall and Eileen, taped the numerous

apples on the tree. Apples were also sold both days of the conference and

$1,100 was raised. The recipient of the funds was the National Center for Children

and Families (NCCF) based in Bethesda. The NCCF’s mission is “to create

total, healthy living environments for vulnerable children, youth and families, and

a quality of life that empowers their ability to thrive and demonstrate responsibility.”

Maryland Chi Chapter members said they were happy to participate.

The 2009 school year began for Tennessee Alpha Chapter

with an altruistic project at Youth Villages in Bartlett,

Tennessee. Members furnished school supplies for the start

of the school year for a group of residents. Time was spent

visiting and interacting with the girls. Chapter Altruistic

Chairman Maureen Kennedy brought fresh fruit and healthy

homemade cookies. Members were given a tour of the $12

million facility by Youth Villages representative Peter Abell.

chapter will continue to support Youth Villages through

other altruistic endeavors this year.

At the July 2008 Northeast Regional Conference

members of Delaware Gamma and Pennsylvania

Gamma Chapters decided to plan a time during the

year when sisters from both chapters could meet

socially. The opportunity came when Pennsylvania

Gamma Program Chairman Marianne Nolan organized

an outing for her chapter. Eleanor Smith,

Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter, contacted Delaware

Gamma Chapter President Denise Levering and

asked her if her sisters would want to join their

Pennsylvania sisters for an outing in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania. On July 1, 2009, eight Delaware Gamma Chapter sisters

drove north to Pennsylvania to join 22 Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter sisters for breakfast and tours of the magnificent

Bryn Athyn Cathedral and two of the mansions built by the Pitcairn family. Sisters from both chapters said they thoroughly

enjoyed the tour and the opportunity to meet sisters from a Gamma Chapter in another state. Delaware Gamma

sisters said they are already thinking about planning an outing next year to meet again.
