Grassley Spring Internships Available, Applications Due November 30

By Grassley Press

WASHINGTON - Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said today that spring internships for college-age Iowans are available, and applications are due November 30.

Internships are available in Grassley's Washington, D.C., office as well as his offices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo.  The semester-long internship will run from January through May.

Interns assist staff members with administrative, legislative and communications work, including that of Grassley's staff on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where he serves as Chairman.  An internship allows for a wide range of learning experience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill.  A firsthand account of a Grassley internship can be read here.

Grassley said he encourages young Iowans who are interested in learning more about the government to apply.  "Interning in a congressional office is a good way for college students and new graduates to learn more about the legislative branch of the federal government while gaining valuable experience.  Internships in my offices are available to students in all areas of study," Grassley said.

Application forms are available on Grassley's website and in Grassley's offices in Iowa.  Due to security-related delays in postal mail delivery to U.S. Senate office buildings, internship applications should be emailed to intern_applications@grassley.senate.gov or faxed to 202-224-5136.  For additional information, email molly_foley@grassley.senate.gov or call 202-224-3744.

Governor Rauner Announces Top Students to be Honored by The Lincoln Academy of Illinois

By Catherine Kelly

Ceremony at Old State Capitol Recognizes the Top Students from Each College and University in Illinois

 

SPRINGFIELD - Governor Bruce Rauner today announced this year's outstanding college students who will be honored by the Lincoln Academy of Illinois. The Academy will recognize the following students during the annual Student Laureate Convocation at 11 a.m. Saturday, November 7 at the Old State Capitol in Springfield.

"Civic engagement, as exemplified by President Lincoln, is crucial to our democracy and the process of our government," said Governor Rauner. "The young men and women receiving this recognition today embody the spirit of President Lincoln through their hard work and dedication to their schools and communities."

The Lincoln Academy's Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Awards are presented for excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities to seniors from each of the state's four-year, degree-granting colleges and universities, and one student from the community colleges in Illinois.  At the Student Laureate Convocation, each student will receive a Student Laureate Medallion, along with a $1,000 educational grant and a certificate of achievement. This is the 41st year Lincoln Academy has celebrated students' excellence in Illinois.

Student Laureate Cynthia J. Avila of the University of Chicago will speak on behalf of all the Laureates.  The invocation will be delivered by Dr. Stanley R. Liberty, Interim President of Bradley University, and the benediction will be delivered by Eureka College President J. David Arnold.  The Sangamon Woodwind Consort will provide music, and a luncheon at the Abraham Lincoln Hotel will follow the Student Laureate Convocation.

The Lincoln Academy, unique among the 50 states, was established more than 50 years ago to honor distinguished citizens with the state's highest award, the Order of Lincoln.  The 52nd Annual Convocation and Investiture of Laureates of The Lincoln Academy of Illinois will take place Saturday, May 7, 2016 at the historic Marriott Pere Marquette Hotel in Peoria.

Smiddy Joins Local Elementary School for Civics Lesson During Visit

By Paul Ferrero

PORT BYRON, Ill. - On Wednesday, state Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale visited with several classes of fourth graders at George O. Barr elementary in Silvis, following their recent trip to the Illinois State Capitol in October, to discuss the legislature and the lawmaking process.

"I want to thank the administration, teachers and staff at George O. Barr elementary school for inviting me to visit, and I hope our conversation and their visit to the Illinois Capitol building inspires the student to remain interested in government," Smiddy said. "Even at a young age, it's important to begin to understand the role of government and current events."

Smiddy addressed three fourth grade classes during his visit to discuss how a bill becomes a law and Illinois current events and met with teachers and the school's superintendent. During the spring legislative session, Smiddy supported a measure to require Illinois high school student to take one semester of civics courses before graduation. The bill received bipartisan support and became law on August 21.

Wartburg College students selected for Iowa Collegiate Honor Band

By Emily Christensen

WAVERLY, IA (11/04/2015)(readMedia)-- Fourteen Wartburg College students were selected for the 2015 Iowa Collegiate Honor Band.

The band will perform Friday, Nov. 20, 2:30 p.m., in the Nevada High School auditorium. The performance, held in conjunction with the Iowa Music Educators Association Conference, is free and open to the public.

Participants include :

Allison Coe of Dixon

Anthony Skinner of Davenport

The band represents the best collegiate band students from across the state, with nominations coming from 19 community colleges, colleges and universities.

Craig Hancock, Wartburg's director of bands, said the selection process is often weighted toward music majors because of the partnership with IMEA.

"The fact that several of the Wartburg students are not music majors speaks highly of our training at the college and the experiences they receive here," he said.

Wartburg was one of only three schools that had all of its nominees selected for the honor.

Wartburg, a four-year liberal arts college internationally recognized for community engagement, enrolls 1,537 students. Wartburg is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and named after the castle in Germany where Martin Luther took refuge disguised as a knight during the stormy days of the Reformation while translating the Bible from Greek into German.

Local Early Learning Center receives national certification for 3rd outdoor classroom

By Rick Martin

Nebraska City, Neb. (November 2, 2015) Scott County Family Y-Newcomb Early Learning Center, located at 2619 North Division Street in Davenport, Iowa has earned national certification as a Nature Explore Classroom from Dimensions Educational Research Foundation and the Arbor Day Foundation. This is the 3rd Scott County Y Center to achieve certification of their outdoor space, with previous certifications awarded to the Palmer Learning Center and the Learning Center, all located in Davenport.

Scott County Family Y-Newcomb Early Learning Center, joins a growing network of organizations and institutions that have created effective nature-based outdoor learning environments for children. This network allows for idea-sharing, peer support and continuous development.  More information on Scott County Family Y-Newcomb Early Learning Center may be found at http://certified.natureexplore.org/scott-county-family-y-newcomb-early-learning-center/

"Scott County Family Y-Newcomb Early Learning Center has shown tremendous leadership in growing the next generation of environmental stewards," said Susie Wirth, Nature Explore Outreach Director. "Their commitment to providing research-based and nature-rich learning offers a wonderful example to educators throughout the country."

Nature Explore Classrooms are part of the Nature Explore program, a collaborative project of the Arbor Day Foundation and Dimensions Educational Research Foundation developed in response to the growing disconnect between children and nature. Certified Nature Explore Classrooms help fill the void by integrating research-based outdoor learning opportunities into children's daily lives.

The classrooms, which are being developed across the country, offer interactive elements such as musical instruments made of natural materials, garden or pathway areas and natural materials for building and creating art. Children who learn and grow in Certified

Nature Explore Classrooms enhance concentration, develop creativity and problem-solving, relieve stress and improve skills in many areas of development.

Outdoor classrooms that are designed according to standards and principles described in Dimensions Educational Research Foundation's Learning With Nature Idea Book are eligible to become certified Nature Explore Classrooms. A new guidebook, At Home With Nature: Creating Nature Explore Playscapes for Families, helps parents bring the same research-based approach to learning in nature to their own children at home.

The first Nature Explore Classroom is located in the Tree Adventure attraction at Arbor Day Farm, the Arbor Day Foundation's interactive conservation venue in Nebraska City, Nebraska. More information on the program can be found at natureexplore.org.

About Arbor Day Foundation:  Arbor Day Foundation is a million member nonprofit conservation and education organization with the mission to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees.  More information on the Foundation is available at arborday.org.

About Dimensions Educational Research Foundation:  The mission of the non-profit Dimensions Educational Research Foundation is to inspire children, families and educators to connect more deeply with the world around them by providing innovative, research-based programs and resources.

18 Members of Congress Send Letter Urging Robust Education Technology Funding in ESEA

By Vonnie Hampel

Washington, DC -- Congressman Dave Loebsack (D-IA), Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and 14 of their Congressional colleagues have sent a letter to House and Senate education leaders urging that a reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) maintain strong education technology provisions.  The bicameral and bipartisan letter, which was addressed to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and the House Education and Workforce Committee, asks ESEA conferees to include robust support in their bill for "education technology and technology-specific educator professional development, preferably through a stand-alone program."  Read the full letter addressed to conferees here.

Loebsack's Schools of the Future Act was added as an amendment by a bipartisan vote to the House version of the ESEA. The program would provide resources for digital learning in rural schools.

In addition to Congressman Loebsack, Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, Senator Baldwin, and Senator Hatch, the letter was signed by Senator Angus S. King Jr. (I-ME), Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Congressman David McKinley (R-WV), Congressman Peter Welch (D-VT), Senator Al Franken (D-MN), Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL), Congressman Ryan Zinke (R-MT), Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME), Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO), Congressman Jared Huffman (D-CA), Congressman Richard Hanna (R-NY), Congressman Rod Blum (R-IA), Congressman Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ), and Congressman Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX).

"More than ever before, technology plays an essential role in educating our children. Technology-based educational tools offer important new capabilities for teachers and will help provide students with a cutting-edge, 21st century education regardless of geography. I am proud to help lead the fight to ensure strong support for education technology in rural schools is included in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Where you live should not have an impact on the quality of education you receive," said Congressman Loebsack.

"Since 2007, I have fought to strengthen the Elementary and Secondary Education Act's education technology provisions through my bill, the Achievement Through Technology and Innovation Act. I am glad that the conference will deliberate principles that mirror its priorities," said Congresswoman Roybal-Allard. "Education technology is critical to preparing low-income and underserved children to compete in the global economy.  That is why we must give teachers and other school officials training and support in using technology to improve student outcomes. By using education technology, teachers can improve the quality of their instruction, give students better and faster feedback, and individualize student coursework. I strongly encourage ESEA conferees to make dedicated education technology programming a robust part of the final bill, and help students realize their full promise."

"Unfortunately, too many classrooms, especially those that serve traditionally disadvantaged students and those in rural and remote areas, are not equipped with technology that can help children learn and lack high-quality professional development opportunities for educators in using this tool to best serve students.  That is why I was proud to work across party lines to partner with Senator Orrin Hatch to secure the adoption of the Innovative Technology Expands Horizons (I-TECH) Program as part of the Every Child Achieves Act (ECAA)," Senator Baldwin said. "I-TECH ensures that educators receive technology-specific professional development and provides schools with resources to invest in education technology that increases student learning.  The use of technology, coupled with quality training, can help to personalize education, inspire lifelong learning, and prepare tomorrow's workforce.  It is critical that we invest in the tools and training that can make these goals a reality. I urge ECAA conference leaders to include a standalone education technology program, similar to I-TECH, in a final reauthorization package.  "

"In the Senate, we worked closely to develop I-TECH to ensure that technology in the classroom is coupled with teacher support to give students access to a wide-range of personalized learning opportunities. Technology can greatly improve any child's classroom experience, and is most effective when combined with an emphasis on teacher development. By intertwining technology and traditional teaching methods, we can tailor each student's educational journey to his or her individual needs and learning style to boost achievement. I urge my colleagues to consider programs that give states the power to produce demonstrable results, and I-TECH does just that," said Senator Hatch.

"Technology plays a pivotal role in everything we do today, and when it comes to the classroom, students aren't going to be able to get ahead without knowing how to use technology to their advantage," Senator King said. "As Committee leaders work to finalize ESEA, I urge them to maintain a strong commitment to education technology so that we can continue to close the digital divide and ensure that students are equipped with the 21st century skills they need to succeed."

"Digital learning is a vital component of the education model of today," said Senator Capito. "If we are going to equip students with the tools necessary to learn, thrive and grow, we must ensure they have access to the Internet and digital education tools both in and outside of the classroom."

"As Congress considers improvements to the ESEA, we must prioritize education technology and tech-specific teacher training and development. The recent explosion in technological advancement, from faster devices to better education applications and programs, has provided students and educators the potential to learn and retrieve information in ways unimaginable only a few years ago. We need to ensure that the policies in place allow for educators and students to take advantage of these tools to enhance the learning experience inside and outside of the classroom. I hope these important initiatives are incorporated in the final ESEA reauthorization," said Congressman Welch.

"Ensuring students are prepared to compete in today's global economy starts by providing all students with the opportunity to learn in a connected environment with access to digital tools, content and services," said Brian Lewis, CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). "It also means investing in educators and making available new models of professional learning to support effective use of technology. We're encouraged by this letter's strong bipartisan and bicameral support for digital learning and hope that this showing of solidarity will ensure that a separate educational technology program becomes an integral part of the new ESEA."

Cancer Kickin' Scholarship

By Rick Martin

Davenport, Iowa (November 6, 2015) - Gilda's Club and CCKMA are teaming up to present the first Cancer Kickin' Scholarship. Four $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to students impacted by cancer - whether it is themselves, a parent, sibling, other relative or friend with the diagnosis.

Students must be current high school juniors/seniors or currently in their first or second year of college to apply. Applicants must reside in Scott, Rock Island, Muscatine County or Henry County.

Application submissions are due February 1, 2016. Scholarship forms are available online at CancerKickinScholarship.com, at Gilda's Club (1234 East River Drive, Davenport) or by calling Kelly Hendershot at (563) 326-7504.

Recipients will be recognized on April 9, 2016 at the 9th Annual CCKMA Event. Recipients will be chosen by a panel of celebrity judges:

  • Greg Dwyer, Dwyer and Michaels Morning, 97x

  • Denise Hnytka, Co-Anchor, News 8 WQAD

  • John Marx, Columnist, The Dispatch/Rock Island Argus

  • Taylor Weibers, Miss Iowa

"Dealing with cancer, at any age, is an emotional whirlwind," said Kelly Hendershot, Program Manager. "For children and teens, it can unleash a storm of emotions, questions, and unexpected discoveries. We want to hear about those experiences."

Applicants will enroll in an undergraduate course of study during the 2016-2017 (or 2017-2018 if applying as a high school junior) school-year at an accredited two or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school in the U.S.

Scholarship recipients are eligible to re-apply each year they are eligible. Applications must be completed each year and submitted to the scholarship committee.

CCKMA's founder, Angie DeWilfond, died in July 2015 after living eight years with ovarian cancer, followed by leukemia.

"Angie wanted to give back to the local community that has supported and given so generously to CCKMA through various fundraiser events each year," said CCKMA President Krista Lindbeck. "So we are now working with Gilda's Club to make this dream of Angie's a reality with the Cancer Kickin' Scholarship."

About Gilda's Club

Free of charge, Gilda's Club Quad Cities provides support, education and hope to all people affected by cancer.  As a Cancer Support Community affiliate, we are part of the largest employer of psychosocial oncology mental health professionals in the United States.  Our global network brings the highest quality cancer support to the millions of people touched by cancer.

About CCKMA

Angie DeWilfond, founder of CCKMA, was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer in 2007. The wife and mother of two young kids decided not to let Cancer Kick Her A..! In 2008, she held a small get together with friends and the support was so overwhelming that an annual fundraising event was held each year after that for much needed research funds. This annual event brings cancer survivors along with their family and friends to celebrate life. It is also an evening of tribute to those we have lost to cancer.
