Chris Lavold Presents at National Convention
The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is pleased to announce that Chris Lavold presented at the 2011 NCTE Annual Convention.
Lavold, of Mauston High School, presented during the panel session, "SHAKESPEARE SET FREE-ACT 3: HOW INTERNET-BASED WEB 2.0 TOOLS CAN GET YOUR STUDENTS CLOSER TO SHAKESPEARE'S TEXTS." An excerpt from the description of this session in the Convention Program read:
This presentation shows how Web 2.0 technology can be used to teach Shakespeare in a production-based approach. These tools seamlessly integrate performance with technologies such as video, audio, and Smartboards. Although this presentation is part of a 5-session Teaching Shakespeare strand, each session stands alone and will be led by different members of the Folger staff and past participants of the Teaching Shakespeare Institute. Teachers can attend one, some, or all five sessions.
Each year, the NCTE Annual Convention draws thousands of K-12 teachers, college faculty, administrators, and other educational professionals from around the world. They gather to hear award-winning speakers, attend idea-packed sessions, share best practices, participate in workshops, and test the latest teaching materials. The 2011 NCTE Annual Convention was held November 17-22, in Chicago, Illinois.

Wisconsin educator named ‘Teaching Ambassador Fellow’
Mauston High School teacher Leah Lechleiter-Luke receives honor from U.S. Department of Education
MADISON — State Superintendent Tony Evers today congratulated Leah Lechleiter-Luke on being selected as a Teaching Ambassador Fellow for the U.S. Department of Education. Lechleiter-Luke, an English and Spanish teacher at Mauston High School, was the 2009-10 Wisconsin Teacher of the Year.
“Leah Lechleiter-Luke has earned high praise from students, parents, and colleagues, making her an ideal candidate for the Teaching Ambassador Fellows program,” Evers said. “She is a dedicated professional who will do an excellent job representing the many outstanding educators in Wisconsin on a regional and national stage.”
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the names of 16 teachers selected to be Teaching Ambassador Fellows for the 2011-12 school year. Now in its fourth year, the Teaching Ambassador Fellowships were created to give outstanding teachers an opportunity to learn about national policy issues in education and to contribute their expertise to those discussions. Fellows, in turn, share what they’ve learned with other teachers in their professional networks, contributing to a larger understanding of federal initiatives and encouraging broader input into policy and programs designed to improve education at all levels of government.
The 16 new fellows, selected from a pool of almost 750 applicants, are participating in a four-day summit (Aug. 1-4) at the department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. At these meetings, the fellows will become more familiar with federal education policy and learn and share effective techniques for enhancing communication among teachers and other stakeholders and education policy leaders. The summit will provide fellows a start to their year-long dialogue with Secretary Duncan and other department officials about school and classroom practices that advance learning and student achievement.
NOTE: This news release is available electronically at http://dpi.wi.gov/eis/pdf/dpinr2011_85.pdf.More information and a complete list of the 2011-12 Teaching Ambassador Fellows can be found at http://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases /education-secretary-duncan-announces-16-teachers-selected-teaching-ambassador-fe.
