The article about Dr Sitton and his interview tips are really helpful, especially to some people who have never really thought about how to conduct a proper interview. I agree that knowing the main topic of the interview will be helpful in a great first-impression, because if you don't know what you are being interviewed for, then the interview itself will be quick. There has always been a saying, "If you're early, then you're on time, if you're on time, then you're late," this shows that you know how to manage your time properly. I'm surprised by the newsletter as a whole, because most average newsletters aren't this detailed. I'm honestly glad there is somewhere I can go to if there are book recommendations or tips for everyday life, especially as a college student.

My favorite article on this newsletter would be How to conduct a Successful Interview. I found this to be very helpful for the present and future. The tips Dr. Sitton gave us were more than just for the workforce. They were also for our everyday lives. This article concludes pretty much everything you need to know. You don't have to be new to the interview world to learn from this. I found this very educational.
Dr Walter
2/28/2024 12:19:28 pm
Maria, you are making very astute observations here. When I asked Dr Sitton to write this piece, I was counting on him to provide information that would have a wide range of usefulness. As always, he came through!

I really like "A True Story of Loving to Teach Social Studies" by Kathleen Shahan. It talks about how the school environment then and use it to versus now. Also, I got to know Kathleen Shalan, a new teacher back then. How she learned all the nuances of teaching reading from her colleague. Selecting peers to help and work together will help the classmates get closer and participate more in class. I really like this article and find it interesting. 2/22/2024 11:46:50 am
Hi Han,

The Pale Blue Eye, written by Louis Bayard, sounded very interesting to me as I love murder mystery movies. After reading more about this I learned that there is a movie on Netflix about this book so I decided to watch it. Definitely Recommend it to anyone interested in Edgar Allen Poe.
Greg Slayton

Thank you, Mr. Dutton, for your supportive comments. Connecting with people on a deep level and sharing myself are two reasons for my choice of becoming an educator.

I liked reading the ACTELA News letter as it gave me some very helpful tips. I really like the article "How to Conduct a Successful Interview", the 10 tips are an extremely helpful guide for college, and for the future. I found the article "A Bilingual Message" an interesting topic and how COVID-19 affected teachers and other students. I like how she found a way to cope with technology in order to continue teaching students. This is a great example of learning from your experiences. I found this News letter interesting and I'm glad I found out about this!

I enjoyed reading this newsletter as It provided me with insightful articles. I think its really interesting how people all around the world read this newsletter. I really liked the article " From the Library", this book sounds interesting and I think i would enjoy reading it. Both horror and mystery are two of my favorite genres. This newsletter not only gave me a new book to read, but it provided me with helpful tips for the future.

I like that the newsletter has a global readership too, but I especially like when MY students read it and post comments to help us grow. That tells me you are making the most of your education.

I really enjoyed the article by Dr. Sitton. He gave a great deal of knowledge. I conduct interviews at my job, and I constantly run into the issue of applicants not being on time. I'm sure if those people were to read this article, it would help him/her understand the importance of being punctual. Also, he talked about open ended questions. I agree with that as well. Open ended questions not only help with getting more information from an interviewer, but it allows him/her to think more.
Dr Walter
2/28/2024 12:23:45 pm
I'm glad you have real life experience that validates what Dr Sitton has to say. I'm a big fan of his advice.

I never knew what actela was until I came to UAM. I really like how Dr. Sitton explained how to give a good interview. I never knew how to do one I would just wing it but he really helped me a lot. I also like how they added pictures of the kids reading.

Thank you, Tara, for noticing my note about Carol. All my students are precious to me, as you know very well. I'm so glad for the time I got to spend with Carol over the Christmas holidays. All the memories I have of times shared with her are very precious to me, and the photo in the newsletter was taken the last time we were together.

I absolutely loved reading the article by Grover Welch. This article was very informative and inspirational to me. All because I plan on being an educator real soon. Test systems are very challenging for students. ATLAS (Assessment of Teaching and Learning Achievement in Schools) gives teachers incite on how they are helping their students. Resulting in giving them more knowledge on the changes they need to make, so that their students can progress.

I noticed the cities and states that had readers of this article and spotted my hometown, Burleson Texas. I've been trying to figure out who it may be considering I am still in contact with previous high school English teachers. Additionally, I appreciate the excerpt on ELA standards and testing. The way that "the new ELA standards are emphasizing a more inclusive approach to writing" is great to hear because standards before used to require specific writing modes that were not as diverse. This allows students to release their creativity in writing more so than before.
Grover L Welch
2/22/2024 07:37:45 pm
Thank you for the support. I really think the more diverse the writing the stronger we will make students.

As you read into this or scroll you’ll see a baby holding up a book most people are probably thinking that babies can’t read. Is it the concept of a baby reading a book that confuses us or just the fact they can’t comprehend. I think kids reading is amazing for them to be familiar with it and score high on their reading, English and language skills. Coming from someone that suffers from dyslexia if I would have started when younger I might’ve been more able to fight the problem.So these pictures of kids reading is inspiring other kids to read.
Braden
2/26/2024 08:16:35 am
Micah, I agree that young children interacting with books will hopefully help develop their reading skills as they grow. This early engagement is what helps people feel comfortable and familiar as they grow and continue to read. Thank you for your comment and interaction with the newsletter.

I really liked the article How to Conduct a Successful Interview by Dr. Sitton because there were very useful tips about interviews. I liked how he went tip by tip and explained each one. He also used real life examples to help him explain it. He gave some advice that I did not learn about in high school. There were also tips in there that I did not even think about asking or paying attention to while in the interview.
Braden
2/26/2024 08:20:35 am
Josie, I am glad that Dr Sitton's piece was useful to you. I also found the design and layout of the piece to be easy to consume and helped to understand the tips he was providing better. Which tip did you find most helpful? I am sure he would appreciate knowing for possible future research. Thank you for your comment and engagement.

While reading the newsletter for February 2024, I particularly enjoyed "Conference Results: OE-AR+" by Dr Kay Walter and friends. This article has details from the experiences had by Dr Walter, Joan Linnstaedter, and Braden Taylor. I enjoyed reading the article as a whole, but Linnstaedter's piece stuck out to me. I found it interesting how she handled her classes with the grading and revision policies. I really admire the fact that she gives her students the choice to use these policies if they want to, but not make them mandatory. This teaches the students responsibility. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this article and found it interesting to read about the different experiences that were had by Dr Walter and Braden Taylor at the conference.
Braden
2/26/2024 08:26:32 am
Leeann, I am glad you took the time to look over the piece I contributed to. Yes, Joan's classroom engagement and grading style are different and productive. The way she is able to work with her students and their grades to ensure they are achieving their best and working in the most proficient way is incredibly valuable. I am sure her students will not only take away vast amounts of content from her classes but also the idea that teachers care about their students. Thank you for your comment.

Overall there are many interesting parts of this newsletter, but the article by Ron Sitton really stands out to me. This part of the newsletter talks about how to conduct a successful interview and I feel like that can really help me in the future of education. I enjoy how he Sitton gives many tips that are helpful and stand out to me as I never really knew how to conduct a good interview. I feel like his tips and the information he shares can help me in my future throughout college and the workforce. I never thought about how to save the contentious questions for the end and he makes a really good point as to why to do that. I agree with him that there can still be a good interview up to that point if the contentious questions cause hurt feelings to end the interview.
Dr Walter

You make some interesting points about this article. I like that you've pinpointed a part of the article you found enlightening.

While reading this newsletter, I was drawn to Gregory Slayton's article "Lessons Learned as an Adult Basic Education Instructor." I found Gregory's desire to help adults in the GED program very inspiring because many people can overlook adults trying to finish their education from many years prior. It was very important for Gregory to share his story with his students so that they knew they could trust him with helping them with their education. His kind and encouraging words gave the students a new found sense of hope that they could achieve what they set out to do, even if it was very difficult. The icing on the cake in this article is when Gregory explains that one of his students had finally passed the math portion of the GED test after multiple attempts because of Gregory's influence on him.

The main section that caught my attention was the "Readers and Writers" section. I think it is great that people are getting their kids to read at a young age. Reading at a young age can be very beneficial for their brain. The fact that this newspaper has a whole section dedicated to this topic is amazing. It is great that the writers are promoting reading for kids.
Claudia Horton
2/25/2024 09:16:27 pm
Brenden, thank you for your positive comments in regard to my grandchildren’s pictures. I agree that reading to children is so important to a lifetime of learning! They love going with their mom to the library and choosing their own books. When they begin Kindergarten in the fall, I know they will continue their love of reading!!

I love "A True Story of Loving to Teach Social Studies" by Kathleen Shahan! I am currently working on an education (music) degree, so it's very informational and applicable for me. I like how she explains the challenges not only she faced as an early teacher, but also her students and their parents. It shows the emotional integrity and maturity of teachers. I also love the advice she gives regarding developing as a teacher. I love this article and will be considering it in my future career!
Kathleen Shahan
2/27/2024 11:38:58 am
Since social studies is all about our world it ought to be interesting to everyone in the world, but alas it isn't. Could it be the way in which we have taught it in public schools? Even music, your area, is a part of culture and therefore social studies. Best of all to you in your teaching career, Allie.

I was drawn to Gregory Slayton's article Lessons Learned as an Adult Basic Education Instructor. I love the desire people have to finish their education. I also really enjoyed the interview with Dr. Sitton because after reading I feel as if I can use some of these tips for myself in the future. The pictures of children with books to have a deeper meaning of which how early education is so important.

While reading this newsletter, my favorite article would be "How to Conduct a Successful Interview" By Dr Sitton, Arkansas State University. This article gave me many great tips and advice on what to do during an interview. With this advice I can try to better an interview I might have in the future. The tip I think I mostly can agree on is to arrive early, Smile, and prepare to listen. I feel like this is one of the most important tips anyone can take for an interview and will really help people.

Maybe you'll include an interview as one of the sources for your research project this semester and put all this new knowledge to work!
Isaac Morman

I found Dr. Sitton's article on conducting an interview informative. Understanding how to conduct an interview may be valuable even if you are not in the field of journalism. For example, I recently had to do something similar to an interview for an essay I wrote. If I ever have to do an interview again in the future, the tips in this article would be beneficial. I also found Elizabeth Parish's review of The Pale Blue Eyes interesting.

I think it is very wonderful that infants start to be able to read at such a young age. It is also good to see that young scholars are able to come together to read even if people think they are not old enough to be aware of this situation. The story by Yukiko Bivens is truly inspiring in how he/she found a way to overcome obstacle in order to properly teach the class a new language despite the language barrier. Blackboard and Zoom were two very helpful source especially during the covid years where he/she was able to use subtitles on zoom calls. Overall, the innovation of technological tools used for his/her class had definitely made a difference in providing a meaningful lecture to the class.

I found great interest in the images of children reading. While it may seem like children just reading to some, it has a deeper meaning to me. There is a debate over when a child should start reading, and the images showed there is never a specific time for children to start. It can improve their intellectual abilities drastically, and that is something I love to see!
Claudia Horton
2/28/2024 03:37:43 pm
Thank you, Lilli, for your comments about children reading. I started reading to my grandchildren as soon as they could sit in my lap. It wasn’t long before they learned to turn the pages by themselves and they looked at the pictures on their own. It thrilled me when I saw that. Whether they were actually reading the words, or not, they were definitely learning!

I really enjoyed reading the ACTELA Newsletter because it had some super helpful tips. One article I liked a lot was "How to Have a Successful Meeting." It had 10 tips that are really useful for school and other situations. Another article I found interesting was "A Bilingual Message." It talked about how COVID-19 affected teachers and students. I liked how the teacher in the article used technology to keep teaching students. It's a great example of learning from experiences.

The article that caught my eye the most was the one by Dr. Sitton. With how technology is now everything is mostly done via internet but his tips in this article can help later on and even now. I also really liked that there was a book review by Elizabeth Parish there are people including myself that are always looking for something new to read and this allows us to find new books and know what they are about and what other people thought of it.

The section that caught my eye was the Readers and Writer's section. When I was a child my mom read to me, and once I got older she encouraged me to read on my own. I believe that it is important for children to read in order to help them develop language and reading skills. I think it is great that there is a section of the article dedicated to children beginning to read.
Joan Linnstaedter
3/4/2024 04:48:44 pm
I love that section, too! My parents read books at night, took us to the library, and always included books for Christmas. The ritual of reading does build language skills. It also creates connections, exposes us to other experiences, and gives us a refuge after a tough day.
Wyatt
2/26/2024 09:34:20 pm
I really liked the section about kids reading. A big question In class was, when should children read? I think children should read at any age and any time. This article shows that kids off all ages read.
Braden
3/1/2024 02:12:53 pm
Wyatt, I agree, but I must say I think it might be hard for a baby to read. I think, and I believe you might agree, that when children cannot read they must be read to. Reading to babies helps both parties, the parents get to spend time calmly with their child and the baby gets to develop further. Thank you for your comment, I hope you read something good soon!

After reading through some of the various articles, Mr. Grover Welches stuck out to me the most. While attending high school when we would take a standardized test that would test to see what we had learned I would often hear from my peers that if they were not getting a grade on it then they weren’t going to try to the best of their ability’s. I have just one question. Do you think that taking a test to that cannot count against them will truly show what they have learned and understand? But I will say I could be wrong and there could be triple the students that do try to the best of their ability then the ones who don’t, but after listening to many of my classmates it did not seem that way.
Grover Welch
3/1/2024 02:26:52 pm
Great point Carson, it is to this idea of "trying" I think we need to speak. Essentially students need to be taught that the world really runs on assessments. It is what a job interview is, It is what a trial period is, it is how every system in the world works. Why would you want to put your worst foot forward? I think understanding that the test is a system test and that we each hold a civic duty to improve the world for the next generation is the key. We have to have good data, or the whole thing flies apart. That is what is wrong in education right now, we have lost sight of the fact that education, for good or bad, is the only system in existence to educate the majority of the population. To often we obscure the conversation with kids are not a test, when what we should be doing is telling kids they can pass any test with what I have taught you. So go show the world what you got.
Nyla Compeaux

I really enjoyed how this newsletter updated everyone about what is happening in education and the new test system that will be put into use. It explains how the state is evolving in a way to make it more fair for all the students. I also like that it can really help someone on how to prepare for an interview while also encouraging others to get involved in academic discussions.
Grover Welch
3/1/2024 02:21:08 pm
Thanks Nyla, I am very interested in letting people know that everything with testing is not bad. We hear a lot of comments, especially in social media, that Testing is this big aweful thing. In reality, every system has to be maintained and there can be no mantenance without a good assessment of the problems. Education only gets better when we charge the narrative with real expectations of validity.

"I really enjoyed reading Dr. Ron Sitton's article on "How to Conduct a Successful Interview." While reading this article, I took a step back and reflected on my recent interview experience. It made me realize the importance of presenting myself well during an interview and being well-prepared. This highlights the significance of impression management during job interviews.

In this article while I was reading the pictures of the kids caught my attention. It caught my attention because for them to be reading at young age is already giving them advantage on life. They are getting knowledge and learning how to process what they are reading.

As I was looking over the blog I realized that there is never a certain time for a child to start reading. There is great debate over when exactly you should start reading to a child, but the answer is truly as soon as possible. While children may not exactly know what you are saying they can still hear and see your emotions. I think people should start reading to their kids ASAP.

Kathleen Shahan's "A True Story of Loving to Teach Social Studies" appeals to me a lot. It compares the school environment then and now. I also got to know Kathleen Shalan, who was a new instructor at the time. How she acquired the intricacies of teaching reading from her coworker. Selecting peers to assist and collaborate will help classmates become closer and contribute more in class. I really like and find this post interesting.
Joan Linnstaedter

The aftermath of COVID in recent years has had a detrimental impact on education across the nation, making it incredibly challenging to get back into the swing of things. Dr. Walter credits her colleagues and explains the purpose of the paper regarding ELA instructions. Grover Welch expresses his concerns about the new testing requirements for teachers, stating that they have not yet proven to be more effective than the previous ones. Arkansas highlights the significance of annual assessments to promote continuous improvement and decrease disparities in access to quality education. To ensure that assessments accurately measure intended educational outcomes, Arkansas is redefining its educational assessment practices by customizing assessments to its unique educational context, stressing inclusive writing instruction, and cultivating creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills to empower students to succeed in the 21st century.
Grover Welch
3/4/2024 09:51:42 am
Great comments. I am very excited to see students taking interest in the futre of education in Arkansas. I think you were very inciteful realizing that it is about inclusivity. We need Arkansas Kids to be held to the standrads of Arkansas Teachers and not national standards that are often overskeyed by differeing social economic backgrounds as well as differing states expectations.

Dr Sutton's article on how to conduct a successful interview is one that was definitely needed. As a person that hasn't experienced many interviews this article helped enlighten me on some of the small things that many people not only me may not think about. Although some of his points I feel that should be applied in everyday life one did stick out to me like doing background research before hand. I do agree with nobody wants to answer questions that could have been researched. Background research gives a overall good image and sets the bar high when the interview is done.
Dr Walter

I read over a few sections and I think my favorite is the one by Grover Welch, Titled "The State Provides an ATLAS to Plan for Future Success." What really drew me in to this one specifically is because my own past with such tests. I haven't liked the past tests very much since some of it is a little hard to understand the wording, and covers somethings that were not covered in my classes at the time. I primarily have used ACT & ACT Aspire in my middle to high school career. I hated them since I felt that it didn't represent my actual knowledge on subjects. Not because of the test itself, but the wording and layout made it difficult for me since I wasn't the strongest reader and some times needed to see it reworded to understand it. I'm happy to hear that people are looking forward to newer systems that may help with people that had issues with the systems before.

I think we are growing in a direction that will promote great things. Testing has to be about the system and not every students lack of progress. Instead holistic approaches like ATLAS will grow the value of assessment in our overall approaches to better education.

While reading the 2024 Newsletter I really enjoyed the article " Lessons Learned as an Adult Basic Education Instructor." By Gregory Slayton. I feel as if this article gives great lessons and is a really heartfelt article. One part of this article that stood out to me is how his students felt scared of him because he was a college professor and they knew he was smart and they were afraid they were not. This stands out to me because sometimes I feel intimidated by my professors. After all, they are smart and I sometimes feel as if my work will not be good enough. This article gives me insight into how the professors and teachers all want to see you succeed and will always be there to help you.
