Standardized Parent Conferencing Model

Young teachers are disappearing from America's classrooms at a steady pace, partially because they are unprepared for the sometimes hostile interactions with parents. Ben Dotger, Syracuse University School of Education professor, was recently awarded a $31,100 Spencer Foundation grant to implement a program that would prepare students to interact with a variety of parents. The hope is that it will keep teachers in the profession longer. "Shell shock is the biggest problem for teacher retention," Dotger said, referring to the main reason why teachers leave the profession after a short tenure. The Standardized Parent Conferencing Model (SPCM) is based on a strategy used in medical schools. Actors pretend to have various symptoms, and medical school students diagnose them.

Author Lorene Cary discusses her first Young Adult book, FREE! , a collection of non-fiction Underground Railroad stories as compelling as the history they chronicle (Third World Press/New City Press). Cary says that she believes these twelve stories of ingenious and daring escapes 'allow our 21st-century minds to imagine actively the inner lives of enslaved people – and put ourselves in their places, not with shame, but compassion and respect.'
