My Question...

Should all large presentation/projects/assignemts that we create in graduate school automatically be presented in blogs or wikis? Thereby making our ideas interactive and/or accessable?

Art teacher positions in Philadelphia's public high schools.

This paper examines the number of public high schools in Philadelphia that provide at least one art teacher position in the school. Data was collected by using The Office of Secondary Education’s Planning Guide: A Guide for September 2008 High School Admissions as a reference for the public high schools in Philadelphia. The standard determination of an “art teacher” was made on a case-to-case basis. In general the “art teacher” consisted of a teacher who was listed as a staff member, taught actual art courses during the school day, and provided more than one artistic medium to students. High Schools that solely offered “art clubs” were not considered to have an art teacher. The number of Art teacher positions provided in neighborhood and citywide admission schools, special admission schools, and charter schools are compared. Philadelphia’s non- profit art organizations are also closely examined, and City and State funding given to them is considered. Connections between Philadelphia public high schools that do or do not provide “art teachers” and Philadelphia’s non- profit art organizations are considered.
