Edison to break ground with iPad curriculum
Edison’s school district will be the first in the state to integrate a curriculum completely executed on a digital tablet device this fall.
Edison will take part in a pilot program in partnership with the global education service Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), which has created a full-curriculum algebra application for Apple iPads. The curriculum is called HMH Fuse: Algebra 1 app.
Superintendent of Schools Richard O’Malley said upon assuming his post in February that he wanted Edison to be the first district inNewJersey to pilot the HMH math program using iPads in the classrooms. He said he had read about the program being piloted in several California school districts.
“This cutting-edge technology combines direct instruction, ongoing support, assessment and intervention, enabling a teacher to truly personalize learning,” O’Malley said. “As the digital age reaches our classrooms, it will transform education, allowing for teaching our students in ways not before imagined, and Edison Public Schools is poised to lead the way.”
According to HMH, its application is designed to deliver Algebra 1 curriculum in a way that engages tech-savvy 21st-century students, who will receive step-by-step animated instruction, instant feedback on practice questions, the ability to write, record and save notes, and access to more than 400 video tutorials with the touch of a finger. The app’s programming combines instruction with ongoing support, allowing teachers and students to customize learning and meet individual needs. Teachers can monitor performance with real-time, student specific feedback via Wi-Fi wireless connection.
“We have recorded dramatic gains in achievement and engagement with students in Fuse classrooms,” said Mike Lavelle, president of HMH Education Group. “Students are no longer simply receivers of information, but instead are interacting with the program and taking an active role in their own education.”
O’Malley said the one-year pilot program will be implemented in ninth-gradeAlgebra 1 classes at both Edison High School and John P. StevensHigh School. Thirty students from each high school will participate. The pilot program will be funded with assistance from HMH, state No Child Left Behind grants and the local school budget.
Also in partnership with HMH, the school district will be starting the company’s core reading program, Journeys. The program “brings reading, writing and vocabulary to life for thousands of students,” according to HMH. “Journeys also employs leading technology through student ebooks, leveled readers online, and write-in readers online. Journeys includes support for the wide-ranging needs of the everyday classroom, such as ELL [English language learners, to whom English is a new language] and intervention programs, and is also structured to provide continuous assessment of student progress throughout each unit.

Heather, do you have a good job description for each of your jobs on your resume? Your Objective statement is not professional enough. I would only tell what I WANT to do…not what I DON’T want to do. Your statement should go something like this : To obtain a clerical position in which I can utilize my _________. Go to Microsoft words and look at some of the resume templates there. In addition, put a list of skills on your resume. For example:
* Can type 40 WPM
I hope this is not the exact copy that you send to potential employers. It needs lots of help.Your name, address, phone numbers and e-mail should be centered at the top in bold. Your goal is unreasonable. If you want to work in an office, a phone is part of the task. That's the way business is done. So what do you do at your previous jobs. You have to sell. You can contact me if you want and I'll help you get a professional resume together without paying someone. Email me at swcasper2001@yahoo.com No Strings Attached, and I'm not Wierdo. Just keep in mind that other people are applying for the same job as you. You have to beat the competition on the resume, and during the interview.
Work experience first then education More details on what you did in the jobs, were you just a clerk?
BTW if I had a clerical job but that clerical person would not use a phone I would hire one of the dozens of resumes that WILL answer a phone. It really matters what you are trying to say with that.
If you have a disability that makes phone work impossible yoiu are better to say so because employers get a bonus for hiring people with disabilies.
