Ceremony honors teacher at local elementary school.

Academy of Global Citizenship (AGC) is a charter school located in south Chicago that connects sustainability and elementary school education. At AGC, kids learn how to recycle and compost, as well as organic food and reusable energy. What if everyone had reusable water bottles at age 6? Our idea is that it would be much easier to get rid of plastic water bottles. AGC is designed to inspire that change: The movement towards a sustainable future!

Produced & directed by Kyounghwa Lee Kim Mansuk survives by selling traditional Chinese calligraphy and Korean drawings. Everyone laughed when he declared in his thirties that’s what he wanted to do. With only an elementary school education, it seemed impossible to master the skills of the calligraphy, especially learning Chinese characters and idioms. His relentless efforts and endeavors are revealed in his made-up songs for memorizing phrases and in his wall covered with Chinese characters. He now enjoys his life and work as a traditionalist; being on road trips in all places of Korea from old town marketplaces to busy streets of big cities.

Throughout the nation, every private and public school at the secondary and elementary level are in need of great teachers.

The origin of the term ‘education’ can be traced to Latin roots from the term ‘educare’ meaning ‘to raise’ or ‘to nourish’. The main purpose of bestowing education is to imparting and development of knowledge and its significant application in life in positive aspects and also in the growth of wisdom and social and cultural consciousness. As a result the process of communicating and interacting with students and therefore the efficiency of the teacher and his skills are equally vital for the spread of education. In fact it is necessary to note that all the countries of the world are pledged to extend the cause of education by reaching out to every nook and corner and ensure that every individual is literate. Literacy is a fundamental right of every human being irrespective of geographical boundaries and every child is entitled to receive basic education. Different disciplines contribute accordingly in the spread of education. Here it is to be pointed out that education begins form the grassroots level at home among one’s family and peers but elementary school education begins in the form of primary education and is followed by secondary education and then higher education. Therefore it is not wrong to refer to primary education as the first step towards attaining a bright future. It is the first stage which every child has to embark on in the beginning.

Primary education more often follows nursery or pre-school education. Primary education is a vital stage in the development of the consciousness and personality of the child as it is at this juncture that a whole new world of bright ideas and knowledge open up in front of their eyes. At this stage children are extremely inquisitive and elementary education must encourage this tendency among the children. As the child attains about twelve years of age, he becomes eligible for high school or secondary education. However there are several educational institutions which provide middle school facilities which make the transition form primary to secondary schools quite gradual. Literacy is one of the most important goals that primary education sets to achieve and primary education concerns itself with introducing the study of history, geography, science and the various social sciences along with the necessary languages that need to be learnt. Primary education also encourages the practicing of the liberal arts like music, dance, fine arts and even facilitates physical fitness along with the development of the mind.

Elementary school teachers perform an important job in public and private educational institutions and work with individual students to guide and direct attitudes and practices aimed at success. They teach and facilitate the learning of children ranging in age from four to 12 years in Kindergarten to Grade 6.These days many elementary school teachers work with school administrators and aid in preparing the study plans appropriate to elementary classes and individuals. In general, elementary school teachers:

provide a learning environment in which each child can experience growth and develop to potential help students become skilled at appropriate knowledge and attitudes make use of different assessment tools to estimate and communicate student progress

We can say that elementary school teaching is a physically and emotionally demanding occupation that requires a high level of energy. While the profession constantly demands regular interaction, maintaining discipline in a classroom can be a major challenge especially when the class includes children who have behavioral disorders and need proper attention.

Nevertheless, in recent times, the career field of elementary school education in the United States has become highly rewarding and most preferred occupation. Over the past few years, this career option has gained enormous popularity and has become one of the few professions that offer salary that is usually complemented by solid benefits package.

The average salary of an elementary teacher in the United States is at around USD 47,000 p.a. This scale ranges upwards from USD 30,000 p.a. to USD 70,000 p.a. in the upper range. In fact, as per the recent statistics submitted by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean elementary teacher salary in 2008 was $52,240. The positive sign is that it is almost $10,000 more annually than the average full-time worker.

The elementary teacher salaries in the United States vary widely depending on location. The reason is that a teacher salary reflects the cost of living in an area as well as job and school description. Adding to this, the next thing to keep in mind is elementary school teachers even receive over 12 weeks of vacation per year on average. Significantly elementary school teachers who choose to teach at summer school or take up other jobs in the school system during the summer can increase their annual salary.

The future prospects for elementary teachers are good. In next few years many job openings are expected to increase. The ratio of additional jobs has increased for teachers who leave teaching jobs in poor, urban schools after a couple of years. Besides this, the shortage in qualified elementary teachers in subject areas like mathematics, science and bilingual education is also going to increase. Thus, with the increase in job opportunities, more involvement of teachers in school policy, we can expect a big increase in the salary range of elementary school teacher in the United States.

I have uploaded this song again as the original file has been corrupted. This has happened to almost all my videos uploaded between Feb 16 and May 19, 2008 (Videos 378 to 460). For more information than you could ever want about this song go to this website: www.followthedrinkinggourd.org This fascinating and scholarly site gives detailed information about the background to the song and raises questions about the authenticity of the story it tells. Here is the Introduction: “The American folksong ‘Follow the Drinking Gourd’ was first published in 1928. The Drinking Gourd song was supposedly used by an Underground Railroad operative to encode escape instructions and a map. These directions then enabled fleeing slaves to make their way north from Mobile, Alabama to the Ohio River and freedom. Taken at face value, the ‘drinking gourd’ refers to the hollowed out gourd used by slaves (and other rural Americans) as a water dipper. But here it is used as a code name for the Big Dipper star formation, which points to Polaris, the Pole Star, and North. In the ensuing 80 years, the Drinking Gourd played an important role in the Civil Rights and folk revival movements of the 1950s and 1960s, and in contemporary elementary school education. Much of the Drinking Gourd’s enduring appeal derives from its perceived status as a unique, historical remnant harkening back to the pre-Civil War South — no other such map songs survive. But re-examining the Drinking Gourd song as history rather …
