The School District Where Principals Also Teach<http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/District_Dossier/2017/07/This_pri... by DENISA R. SUPERVILLE - Education Week | Pub: 07/31 The common lament is that principals have extraordinarily demanding and near impossible jobs. Setting class schedules. Evaluating teachers. Drafting school budgets. Overseeing school bus drop-off and pick-up. But Dana McCauley, a principal in the Garrett County school system in western Maryland, does all of that—and more. New UTSA president opens up about goals for university<http://www.expressnews.com/news/education/article/New-UTSA-... by SILVIA FOSTER-FRAU - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 07/31 As a biology major in college with a doctorate in civil engineering, Taylor Eighmy thinks about San Antonio as a “living laboratory.” “I created a little term in my head the other day, I call it urbanomics. Though I did find out on Google someone else has created that, I want to borrow that term because I think that’s what the future of urban research institutions is going to be,” Eighmy said in an interview this week. The future president of the University of Texas at San Antonio explained that similar to genomics or proteomics — a new science studying human genes — urbanomics is about understanding what makes San Antonio thrive, “how it’s wired and how it operates,” and how UTSA can best fit into the growing city of San Antonio. Learning the language<http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/SanAntonioExpressN... by DAVID HINOJOSA - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 07/31 Learning English is one thing. Being able to function in an English-speaking society is another, and graduate students from UTSA are aiming to help several Spanish-speakers on the Missions’ roster achieve both things. As part of a program designed by its major-league affiliate, the San Diego Padres, three Missions are taking English as a Second Language classes. “The importance of this program is to give them awareness of another language and to help them immerse,” said Melissa Gomez, one of the program’s instructors. “That’s the whole point of the program — immersion. You don’t want to throw them in the water and hope they swim without some basic skills on how to float.
