Kelsie<p>I woke up early this morning. I am looking forward to the Environmental Science lab at the prison tonight because we finally got approval to take in a piece of astroturf to complete an important "wooly worm" lab. The students will write a lab report based on this. They will have to hand write their lab reports because they do not have access to computers to type them out.<br>I expect these hardworking students will rock this assignment.<br>I am proud of them.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educator</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educatorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educatorlife</span></a></p>

Kelsie<p>These are what I purchased for my students at the prison. They can only use plastic microscope slides, so we are a little limited on what we can take into the prison. These will make the collection for the students larger, however. I want my students to expand their horizons and knowledge base, and I think these will help. ❤️<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educator</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educatorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educatorlife</span></a></p>
Kelsie<p>My students at the prison had an amazing time doing their microscopes lab. They were engaged and had so much fun. They kept thanking me and several of them stayed just as late as they could. They told me that they do not have much fun in the prison, but truly did during that lab. Several of them even went outside to pick grass and flower petals to look at. They even found a squished bug on the ground that provided endless fascination.<br>That filled my heart with happiness.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educatorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educatorlife</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educator</span></a></p>

Kelsie<p>I had so much fun yesterday at the Dual Enrollment class party. They are all graduating this semester. So many intelligent, talented, young people with so much potential.<br>One of the students even did this drawing on a dry erase board. It is a dragon. I was so impressed!<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educator</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educatorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educatorlife</span></a></p><p>Edit: I just got the sweetest email from one of my students thanking me for the class.

Kelsie<p>It has been an exhausting past two days, but I feel good about the work I have done.<br>I am pretty much caught up with my Dual Enrollment class, and they have their last class on Thursday.<br>I am impressed with my students at the correctional center. One asked me about career advice once he is released. Another student is undergoing cancer treatment and wanted to know what health effects it might have. They feel safe around me, which is important to me.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educator</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educatorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educatorlife</span></a></p>
Kelsie<p>My students are awesome.. On Monday, I had a lab with my Dual Enrollment students and they are amazing. I am so impressed with them all. I think they had fun with the lab as well.</p><p>Then yesterday, I had the final exam for my Bio 101 class. Those students rocked that exam. I am so happy. One student wrote an adorable thank you drawing on the exam, and another asked if she could volunteer in the lab over the summer.</p><p>My heart is happy.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educator</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educatorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educatorlife</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/goodday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>goodday</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoodDay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoodDay2025</span></a></p>
Kelsie<p>I played no tricks for April Fool's Day yesterday. But, I did mention something to my Dual Enrollment students which they considered an awful trick.<br>You see, they have their spring break next week, and I had it badly planned that they would have their exam the day after they get back from said spring break. Well, I offered to have that exam this Friday.<br>Well, there were immediate rumblings of discontent and I quickly switched it back.

Kelsie<p>So, I have submitted all the documentation for approval to teach this Environmental Science class. <br>I even submitted a Textbook with a separate document annotating how this Textbook aligns to the Learning Outcomes. From what I have heard from other community college professors, the person requesting this documentation should not even have been the one to do it.<br>Also, aren't Learning Outcomes for material covered in the class, not simply the text? Frustrated.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educator</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/educatorlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educatorlife</span></a></p>

He was a contemporary of Phan Bội Châu & Phan Chu Trinh & one of Tonkin Free School's founders.</p><p>"The more I read the more I become aware that the things we studied, our examination system, were wrong – indeed the real reasons for our having lost our country. From that point on I was determined to seize upon our country's literature and on modern learning to awaken our citizenry."</p><p>Quyen advocated the modernisation of Vietnam's <a href="https://beige.party/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> system. Around 1903 or 1904, Quyen met Tang Bat Ho, who had returned from his travels abroad & talked extensively about the modernisation of Japan. In 1904 he met with Phan Bội Châu, but Quyen had little in common with Chau's ideology of using violence to achieve independence. Quyen went on the work with Lương Văn Can & Le Dai in setting up the Dong Kinh Thuc Nghia, which sought to strengthen the Vietnamese people & thereby the likelihood of independence through the training of a new, more modern generation of scholars.</p><p>In 1908, Quyen was arrested in a general crackdown by French authorities and sent to jail on Côn Lôn island. He died in the prison which was infamous for torturing political prisoners.</p><p>Ref: Marr, David G. (1970). Vietnamese Anticolonialism, 1885–1925. Berkeley: University of California.

Her unwavering dedication has earned her different awards, recognizing her service to her community and her passion for preserving language and culture. In September, Lynn was honored with the prestigious 2024 National Indian Education Association Community Service of the Year Award. This award recognizes Native community members who are role models and have served their community. </p><p>"Lynn’s journey to become a teacher and active community member is a testament to her passion and dedication. It all began when she became a mother and started participating in school and community activities. Lynn’s involvement in organizations like the Girl Scouts and PTP (Parent Teacher Partnership) marked the beginning of her service to the community before she started her decolonization work and focus on culture and language. </p><p>"Her <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>decolonization</span></a> journey deepened after she attended the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UpstanderAcademy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UpstanderAcademy</span></a>, where she met a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Micmac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Micmac</span></a> woman and spiritual healer from Canada. Their time and conversations inspired her to learn more and share what she knew, leading her to become the community leader she is today. </p><p>"After attending the Upstander Academy, Lynn's commitment to promoting cultural engagement intensified. She traveled to different tribal gatherings and immersed herself in culture as much as possible. She aimed to share her experiences and knowledge and motivate others in her community to participate in and learn cultural activities. </p><p>"Lynn plays a pivotal role in nurturing a sense of community and togetherness. She does this in various ways, including by planning community gatherings. Lynn planned a large cultural gathering that the Passamaquoddy hosted, but after much planning and organizing, she became ill and could not attend. She said that her falling ill was a 'blessing in disguise' because it resulted in something beautiful…. community members who usually do not participate in community activities took the lead and ensured the gathering went as planned. These individuals continue to be active community members, a testament to Lynn's success in promoting cultural engagement. </p><p>"One of Lynn's most significant contributions is mentoring youth, a responsibility she takes very seriously. In community service projects with youth, she saw how they responded positively, which deepened her desire to do more. These projects demonstrate her commitment to the future of her community. </p><p>"Currently, Lynn is mentoring a group of girls through their rights-of-passage ceremony. One activity the girls completed was learning how to honor berries. The girls picked berries and then gave some to the elders when they visited. The girls spend much time with the elders, learning from and talking with them. Lynn's commitment to passing this knowledge on to the next generation provides hope for the community’s ability to preserve tribal culture. </p><p>This is Lynn's 38th year working for Maine Indian Education. Since being hired, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in College Studies, focusing on Native Studies from the University of Maine at Machias. She enjoyed her courses, and what she learned provided her with the knowledge and skills needed to create the curriculum and served as a basis for the content she uses in her classes. </p><p>"Lynn began teaching the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassamaquoddyLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PassamaquoddyLanguage</span></a> at Calais High School before she graduated. Her classes are extremely popular and usually have a waitlist. Lynn was surprised when her classes began to have a waitlist, but anyone who knows Lynn was not surprised. Her positive energy and love radiate from her and draw people to her. Her dedication to her students and community makes Lynn a perfect recipient of the NIEA Community Service of the Year Award. </p><p>"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NIEAConvention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NIEAConvention</span></a> was established to mark the beginning of a national forum for sharing and developing ideas and influencing federal policy. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NIEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NIEA</span></a> was founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970 to meet the needs of educators, students, and the community. NIEA held its first 'First Convocation of American Indian Scholars' at Princeton University in 1969. During this meeting, several Native educators discussed concerns and issues related to the education of Native children. For many educators, this large meeting was the first opportunity to share, discuss, and learn about ideas critical to Native Americans in the United States. </p><p>"Several Natives who attended that gathering wanted an opportunity to continue the dialogue and share ways to improve education.
