Eighteen teams from six area school districts met in face-to-face competitions on May 3rd at The CESA #12 Conference Center in Ashland for the annual Battle of the Books Competition The Battle of the Books program is designed to promote a love of reading among our students. It encourages students to read a variety of books and remember information about the plots, characters, and settings of the books. Every question asked in a battle is answered by the title and author of the book and takes the form of: Name the book in which a horse and a boy are stranded on an island. It is a fun, academic-based competition that has been very successful in school districts throughout the state in encouraging students to read. Participating teams this year included: Ashland School District, Drummond School District, Maple School District, South Shore School District, Superior School District & Washburn School District Competition winners were: Drummond Team 2 (1st place), Superior Middle School (2nd place) Maple Northwestern Elementary (3rd place). Congratulations to all team members and their coaches for all your hard work and for helping making this a great event!

American Indian Studies: Implementing Wisconsin Act 31 October 26, 2017 CESA #12 Conference Center 9:00 am to 3:00 pm This day long workshop will provide in-depth presentation and discussion on American Indian Studies in Wisconsin (often referenced as Wisconsin Act 31). The focus of the training is to help educators understand and implement Wisconsin Act 31, which is a state law requiring all public school districts and pre-service teacher programs to provide instruction in the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of the eleven federally-recognized American Indian nations in the state of Wisconsin. The workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and information they need to integrate the requirements of American Indian Studies into lesson plans, material selections, pedagogical practices, and district curriculum. Information about the Wisconsin Indian nations’ histories, treaty rights, sovereignty, and cultures will be presented throughout the training workshop. The goals of the training are to share best practices, information, model programs, and resources with administrators and teachers so that they are knowledgeable about American Indian Studies in Wisconsin and are able to meet the requirements of Wisconsin Act 31. Please note this training workshop will meet the licensure stipulation if the training workshop is completed along with completing two follow-up assignments. The assignments are as follows: Assignment 1: Research Paper: The first assignment requires that the participant write and submit a paper on one American Indian nation or tribal communities in the state of Wisconsin (ex: Oneida Nation of Wisconsin). Select any Wisconsin American Indian nation or tribal community and create a research paper (4 – 6 typed, double spaced pages) using at least 3-5 references. Include an overview of the history of the tribal nation or community in Wisconsin, significant events and current issues related to tribal sovereignty. Assignment 2: Demonstration of Knowledge Gained: Give an outline of lesson plan or curriculum, describe a planned and implemented activity or event and expected outcome, including various resources that will help either students or community members better understand local tribal history, culture, and tribal sovereignty. Assignments should be submitted to Judy Ross, judyr@cesa12.org Registration Fee: $20.00 per participant Register here: http://login.myquickreg.com/register/event/event.cfm?eventid=17883 Submitted by: Judy Ross
