William Carey University invites prospective teachers to apply for its Mississippi Teacher Residency Program (MTR) – supported by a $1.9 million grant from the Mississippi Department of Education. The application deadline is March 15.

“We are thrilled to be one of the universities chosen to receive a Mississippi Teachers’ Residence Scholarship. This is a solid new addition to William Carey’s teacher shortage initiatives, as it provides students with real-world classroom experience in the school districts where they are needed most,” said Teresa Poole, dean of the WCU School of Education.

The MTR program offers individuals who already have a bachelor’s degree in any field the opportunity to obtain a master’s degree in elementary and special education. It is a graduate program that combines academic courses and integrated job training to prepare successful candidates for classroom careers in areas with critical teacher shortages.

Each MTR student will receive a full scholarship, including textbooks, support for required licensing exams, individual mentor teachers, and course support from university faculty.

The program will select 10 applicants each year, for two years, from participating school districts. William Carey University will partner with these school districts:

• Covington County School District

• Forrest County School District

• Greenville Public School District

• Hattiesburg Public School District

Students chosen for William Carey’s MTR program will meet for orientation and tuition this summer. Work with the four school districts begins in August.

The MTR program is funded by the American Rescue Plan’s Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. People of color, men, veterans and teacher aides are encouraged to apply.

The online application is available on the Mississippi Department of Education website: www.mdek12.org/OTL/MTR.

As Portland’s ambassadors, the Royal Rosarians are the first faces to welcome many visitors to the Pink City. And if any of those faces were Mary Butler Getty, you’d be greeted with a smile.

The Royal Rosarians and the greater Washington County community mourn Getty, who was found dead in the front yard of her Bethany home in an apparent suicide Thursday. Deputies said it appeared Getty’s husband, 56-year-old financial analyst Michael Getty, committed suicide inside the house after shooting her.

The Gettys are survived by three college-aged children. And the loss of Mary Getty, 55, who had served in the Rosarians since 2015, has left members of Portland’s official hospitality group heartbroken.

“She was really special,” said Rosarian Prime Minister Dwight Terry. “We are all devastated.”

Mary Getty was an active member of the organization and took on a leadership role this year, serving as the group’s Lord High Steward, Terry said.

The Harry Lander rosary remembered Mary Getty as a bon vivant with a bright smile who radiated “energy, love and care” at every meeting. She was previously the Royal Gardner of the group, whose duties included planting roses at official ceremonies.

“I just saw her at the last meeting and got a big hug from her,” Lander said. “She always had a bright smile on her face – always happy.”

Getty moved often as a child while her father was deployed in the US Coast Guard, according to her website. She went to high school in North Carolina and studied English at the University of Washington before earning a master’s degree in teaching from Lewis & Clark College in 1999.

Lander said he hasn’t seen any sign of trouble between Mary Getty and her husband in more than 30 years.

“You can’t say anything negative about either one,” Lander said. “They were there to help you. They cared about what you were doing, how you were – they were just a fantastic couple.

Mary Getty taught fifth grade at Jacob Wismer Elementary School, according to Beaverton School District records. She had worked at the school since 2005 and had long maintained a personal website dedicated to her students, which she called “Zoomies” in the age of online education.

Mary Getty had recently taken a break from school while caring for her mother, Ann Travers Butler, who died on February 6 of a rare form of cancer.

In her latest written update to her students, Mary Getty said she returned to her classroom on February 10 and felt “overwhelmed”. The room was full of flowers, gifts and condolence cards.

“We truly have the most sincere class and I will always cherish every thing the students have said and done,” she wrote. “I felt the love!!”

Teachers continue to be in high demand in Illinois, with nearly 90% of schools reporting they are experiencing staffing shortages, according to new research released by the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools.

The study shows that 88% of school districts surveyed in Illinois said they believed they had a shortage of teachers and 96% said they had a shortage of substitute teachers.

“It’s not something we’re going to cure tomorrow and for me the most desperate concern is to provide the best education for our children,” said IARSS President Dr Mark Klaisner.

The IARSS study indicates that possible solutions include encouraging more young people to enter the teaching field and better supporting those who are starting out but may be tempted to leave. The study also recommends expanding programs that recruit and support minorities and those that teach high-need subjects.

“The long-term solutions will be to strengthen the profession and help young people see how rewarding it can be,” Klaisner said.

Education experts have said that in addition to a shortage of teachers in traditional subjects, there is a need for special education and bilingual teachers.

Vince OBrill, a senior at DePaul University, is studying to become a teacher and said students need teachers now more than ever.

“They need a school where they can go see friends, have fun with each other, and be creative,” OBrill said.

Anitria Wilson said she was working on a master’s degree with special education endorsement from National Louis University.

“I think I can make a difference because I’m an aspiring teacher who wants to teach for the long haul,” Wilson said. “I would like this to be my last career.”

Meanwhile, the University of Illinois at Chicago said it is seeing increased enrollment in its teacher license programs.

“Even though there is a shortage nationally and in many districts in Illinois, there seem to be teachers, young people who want to get into teaching to help fill the gaps,” said said Dr. Daniel Maggin of UIC’s Department of Special Education.

COLUMBIA — A longtime advocate for Statehouse teachers is joining the race to lead South Carolina’s K-12 public schools.

Republican Kathy Maness, executive director of the Palmetto State Teachers Association, is running to replace retired state superintendent Molly Spearman, her members were notified by email Jan. 13.

“In light of Superintendent Spearman’s decision to retire and with so many challenges facing education today, many of you have approached me to introduce myself,” Maness said in an attached video. to email. “Running isn’t something I had planned to do or maybe even wanted to do, but the time has come.”

The email, first provided to The Post and Courier, was sent four days before Maness officially launched her campaign in Lexington, where she has lived for 28 years.

Maness joined the association’s staff in 1993 after teaching 9½ years at a primary school in Lancaster, his home town.

Beyond her day-to-day work lobbying for teachers, Maness is a member of the Lexington City Council, a post she first won 18 years ago. Her profile in this role was raised in November 2020, when she became the first person from South Carolina to serve as president of the National League of Cities, a city advocacy group.

Maness holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education from the University of South Carolina.

His announcement makes the race a three-way pitch so far. Others might join. Candidates cannot officially file their case for the June primaries until mid-March.

The last time there was no incumbent on the ballot was in 2014, when Spearman, also a former teacher, won her first term after a four-way Democratic primary and after beating seven other Republicans in the presidential contest. GOP. No one challenged his candidacy for a second term.

Maness faces an uphill fundraising battle against Ellen Weaver, who earlier this week said she has raised nearly $127,500 since announcing her candidacy in late November. Maness has raised just under $11,000 in the past month, according to Jan. 10 campaign documents with the state Ethics Commission.

Weaver is another familiar face at the Statehouse, although sometimes the opposite of Maness.

As president of the conservative think tank Palmetto Promise Institute, Weaver is a leading advocate for school choice legislation that uses state taxes to help parents pay for private tuition. – proposals long opposed by teachers and public school administrators.

Since 2019, Weaver has also served as chair of the Education Oversight Committee, leading a legislator-appointed council of legislators, business people, and educators. The agency, which is independent of the state Department of Education, oversees student testing and report cards.

And while this is Weaver’s first candidacy herself, the Bob Jones University grad worked for former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint for 12 years, first as executive assistant to the Republican from Greenville while in the US House and the last three years as his state. director. DeMint founded the Palmetto Promise Institute with campaign money when he left the Senate in 2013.

Kizzi Gibson, a public school educator for more than 18 years, was the first to start fundraising, months before Spearman announced last October that she would not seek a third term. The Lexington District One art teacher has received about $7,750 in donations since last June, campaign documents show.

Unlike other states, South Carolina does not have a teachers’ union. Like other Palmetto State public employees, teachers are not allowed to bargain collectively or strike. South Carolina, however, has several groups that advocate for South Carolina’s more than 50,000 teachers.

The Palmetto State Teachers Association was formed in 1976 to give teachers the choice of a professional association without national union affiliation and has become the largest in the state.

In his video message to members, Maness said his decision had been accompanied by “a lot of prayers and conversations” with his family and the association team. The email, sent by board chair Betsy Portune, said the board had given her permission to run.

Maness has decided “she can better serve the educators, students, and families of our state in the coming year by seeking the position of superintendent,” reads the message from Portune, a teacher with the Williston School District– Elko.

Vitamins are heterogeneous but essential biochemicals that the human body needs for its well-being. However, the human body cannot produce vitamins, which must be assimilated through food. Alternatively, their deficiency can induce serious illnesses like rickets, pellagra or scurvy which can be disabling or even fatal. For this reason, each vitamin has been identified and obtained chemically for pharmaceutical and industrial purposes allowing their use as medicine or food enrichment. However, like any other drug, in addition to toxic reactions, that is to say hypervitaminosis, vitamins can induce hypersensitivity reactions, such as contact dermatitis or anaphylaxis, in particular in their synthetic form and according to their usage. Given their importance for the body, the avoidance strategy is not possible with vitamins, which had to be taken by the patient, despite his awareness. It is therefore important to understand what approach should be used when a patient has hypersensitivity to a vitamin.- Previously, in 1982, only Bundgaard and De Weck had included an entire chapter on hypersensitivity to vitamins in their book “Allergic Reactions drugs ”(Springer-Verlag-New York) and attempted to investigate this matter. In the meantime, 39 years later, new case reports and studies have appeared in the literature, giving new insights and suggestions on the management of vitamin hypersensitivity. Thus, the effort of this book has been to collect most of the case reports from mainly English literature, through an Internet search of Pubmed and Google Scholar, and to attempt to organically and systematically illustrate the mechanisms vitamin awareness training, as understood. or postulated by clinicians and researchers who have treated a patient “in the field” sensitive to vitamins, with an emphasis on clinical aspects, the diagnostic approach and therapeutic management, trying to highlight much more a minor subject of drug hypersensitivity. A specific chapter is devoted to each vitamin and, after a brief introduction regarding the biological activity, its use, a sketch of its metabolism and potential chemical derivatives are illustrated, but the most interesting part is represented by the experiences of the different authors. and related. discussions of their case reports or studies with a precise description of previous management strategies, showing, for example, desensitization protocols used by different authors, concentrations for diagnostic skin tests or recommended challenge tests, thus illustrating options available to clinicians. The author has limited himself to making some considerations on the basis of vitamin metabolism, the complete data in the literature and his clinical experience with drug allergy. Anyway, he also considers that, vitamins in their synthetic form are not always the real culprits of an allergic reaction. Sometimes even the excipients in pharmaceutical formulations of vitamins can induce hypersensitivity, while this problem certainly does not occur with natural vitamins in foods. Of course, being the immunoallergologist author, his approach is influenced by his clinical and cultural background. Fortunately, vitamin hypersensitivity is not as common as antibiotic allergy, but it’s probably also underestimated, misdiagnosed, and certainly described anecdotally. For this reason, the author has tried to describe in a svelte and pragmatic manner to summarize actual clinical knowledge and experiences, in the hope that the book may also be of use to allergists, pediatricians, dermatologists, nutritionists, clinical pharmacologists and pharmacists. , thus any clinician can find practical indications for managing a patient with hypersensitivity to vitamins.
