From: Adam Miller [email protected] Subject: Traditional American Folk Music Assemblies for California Schools Date: March 1, 2014 at 4:06 AM To: [email protected] Bring History to Your School! Singing Through History Folk Music and Social Studies Assemblies for Schools Adam Miller on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDJZS2bTTqo "Adam Miller took our children back in time in a way that made history real. He is masterful at balancing a fun, engaging assembly that exposes the children to folk music with a history lesson on the United States." -Raymond Dawley, Principal, Fair Oaks Elementary, Redwood City, California Dear California Educator, I'll be presenting school assemblies in California: May 27 - 30, 2014. For over two decades I have presented multi-cultural "Singing Through History!" folk music assemblies and classroom programs at schools and libraries across the United States. These highly entertaining and educational programs aid in the development of cultural and historical literacy, emphasizing the importance of history as a story well told. Students have a great time learning about American folklore and folk traditions while singing along. All programs are designed to encourage group singing and interactivity, and are tailored to be age appropriate for any combination of grades. I have programs for elementary schools, middle schools and high schools, as well. For more about information, please visit my website: Folksinging.org With over a dozen entertaining assembly programs, I can easily perform two different 45-60 minute assemblies in a back-to-back booking. My fee is $795 for one assembly, $895 for two back-to-back assemblies, and $1,095 for three (in one location). There are no additional fees! Please contact me to schedule assemblies at your school. I look forward to singing with you and your students! -Adam Miller Singing Through History! P.O.

His energizing performance brought history alive at the Ketchikan Children's Library as he skillfully grabbed the children's attention and transported them with song and laughter through 400 years of history." -Ketchikan, Alaska Sitnews “Adam's wonderful songs, warm personality, and depth of knowledge engaged our audience, both young and old. History comes alive and songs are remembered by the old and passed on to the young. I would highly recommend Adam Miller for a presentation.” -Carol Race, Program Director Downtown Branch Library, Juneau, Alaska "What a wonderfully energizing way to celebrate connections with our past history through engaging, interesting, and delightful music. " -Ron Bahlman, 5th Grade Teacher Rolling Hills Middle School Los Gatos, California "Adam Miller has an incredible knack for turning children on to history. His songs and stories are both educational and entertaining. I’d recommend him with enthusiasm and without reservation." -Jill Selak, Principal Mayflower Elementary School, Monrovia, California "Adam Miller is one of the great autoharpists and folksingers of our times." -George Winston “Adam Miller delighted our Kindergarten audience! Fun, folk, and developmentally appropriate songs kept our Kinders on the edge of their criss-cross-applesauce seats on the floor. The joy in his music is contagious, a profound treat for our early learners.” -Kathleen Rushing, Kindergarten Teacher Pioneer Elementary School, Union City, California “Adam Miller: Witty, humorous, and full of wisdom. Great with kids of all ages.” -Jason Adams, Children’s Librarian Mendive Community Library, Reno, Nevada "Your stories and songs represent our folk culture and make history come alive.” -Angela Marie, Parent Westlake Elementary, Santa Cruz, California "I wish they’d had programs like this when I was in school – songs that relate American folk music to American history." -Phyllis Jardine, Retired Librarian Alameda County Library "Your visit was the highlight of the year, combining history, folk tales, singing, and lots of laughter!" -Erin Gafill, Executive Director Big Sur Arts Initiative, Big Sur, California “He skillfully interweaves songs and the stories behind them, fascinating children and enchanting adults.” -Bob Jones, Director Milton-Freewater Library, Milton-Freewater, Oregon -Adam Miller Singing Through History!

I found two articles from newspapers I was quoted in that I didn't even know exist. Secondly, I didn't know that I was included in a "Hometown Hotties" group, (nothing I subscribed to off course). Well, the week after doing this symposium, I judged the Miss America pageant for our local Placentia/Yorba Linda crowning. One of my interview questions was..."If we checked your digital footprint, would we find anything that might 'tarnish' your crown or embarrass your grandmother' "? The other judges didn't even know what I was talking about but the girls sure did... and some were caught off-guard. After their answers, the other judges were amazed by the question and said it was one of the most relevant questions they had ever heard a judge ask. THANK YOU! So, after this occurred, one of the girls asked if she could be part of working with my school capstone as part of her platform. On March 15th she is going to be presenting a seminar to 100 of my students on how to "clean up your digital footprint" as my Super Saturday Session. She is now Miss Yorba Linda and will be using this as part of her platform in the Miss California pageant. Since the word got out about this, I have three other schools that are adopting my capstone project in our district. AMAZING! Thanks again for such a relevant symposium and assignment.

Is your email being sent to all symposium attendees, or, is this being sent to those who the graders can not access? Is it possible a query could be run and an email sent to ONLY those who the graders are locked out from. Sending out a block email like this causes more anxiety for me when I believe I have already done this correctly and I need to focus my energies on my capstone writing efforts. Thank you for your efforts to give us a working model from the symposium.

National Council on Educating Black Children From the desk of: Diana Daniels, Executive Director My Brother's Keeper The National Council on Educating Black Children commends our President Barack Obama for developing a national initiative for Black and Latino Males; an elevated focus that is supported by our Board of Directors and our membership. For 27 years, NCEBC has been committed to improving the academia of rigor and relevant instruction for African American children. In 2006, after the Schott Foundation report on Black Males in Public Schools, a new priority emerged for NCEBC. We declared that the absence of educational equity, justice and quality in schools, have an adverse effect on building positive outcomes for Black males , as reported by researchers. A "Call for Action" was sounded at our 2007 Convention in Norfolk, VA, with school district teams, writing Black Male Action Plans (BMAPs) that identified issues and solutions for school drop- outs, suspensions, expulsions, low graduation rates, cultural incompetency and illiteracy. At each subsequent annual convention, delegates are engaged in a process to develop community, school, or district BMAP's. The charge to teams is to: 1) return to their cities, share the BMAP through a report out to the community at large, 2) engage stakeholders to further define the plan, and eventually 3) establish a Commission for Educational Equity, Justice and Quality for African American Children. The Commissions are comprised of stakeholders listed in our flagship document, The Blueprint for Action. Our Black Male Action Planning process has been conducted with over 107 cities, school districts, and Nova Scotia. Far too long, too many young males of color have been sacrificed, by the wealthiest nation on the planet. In the words of Nelson Mandela, "You can judge the soul of a nation by the way it treats their children." The declaration to elevate this discussion to a national level is welcomed with exuberance. NCEBC continues to address the areas research identifies as correlates with school failure. We collaborate with stakeholders, and maintain a growing partnership with faith-based institutions, school districts, and community centers, to establish Augustus F. Hawkins Literacy Centers. Currently there are 17 Literacy Centers operating in 6 states. NCEBC provides a challenging and culturally relevant curriculum for grades preK-6,that is in alignment with common core standards, and a strong focus on identity development. Pre and post reading assessments are given to students enrolled in our school-based centers, in addition all students receive three age-appropriate books a year, for their personal library. We encourage the incorporation of technology to under-grid instruction in our Literacy Centers. Once again, our Board of Directors and membership, congratulate President Once again, our Board of Directors and membership, congratulate President Obama, supportive corporations and dedicated researchers for spiraling the educational, social and judicial concerns of Black and Latino Males to a national level!

There is only one school (Cajon Valley) that we have not made in person contact with to put up a banner and have their help in promoting. Your efforts have made it easy for my students to reach out to most schools because they have stopped by and the teacher, secretary, or admin person they have met with have already been made aware thanks to your outreach. We are hoping this year's event will draw our largest attendance to date, and we are on our way because about 50 students have already registered - so far so good. On another note, I know you are coming to visit next Wednesday with Tamara and I am excited about this outreach. The division in districts (K-8 and 9-12) is somewhat anomalous and there have always been problems with articulation; I am hoping this work can begin to bridge that gap and I hope I see you Wednesday. Lastly, I wanted to set up a time to speak with you about language immersion. This has become a passion for me and I think we have developed a plan that may be replicatable - it's actually pretty simple. I would love to set up a time with you (as you said, sooner rather than later) to have a chat and share the ideas we have developed. Best, Matt -Matthew Davis I.B. Coordinator English/I.B.

Couple items to update on. 1. responded submitted another doctors note w/ a letter from her attorney disagreeing with her placement at Cajon Valley Middle. We asking for an explanation and are waiting to hear back. 2. will be leaving us. She accepted a position at the Santee School District in the same role. She will be making about 10,000 a year more. We ran a salary study w/ the personnel commission to see if her salary could be increased as the range seems very low for the top confidential position in the district, but the results of the study didn’t justify a change. We will start a search Monday and will plan a time to recognize/celebrate ’s contribution to CVUSD. She will be missed and also very difficult to replace. 3. We are receiving our chromebook order for Smarter Balanced Testing that we used our one-time Common Core Money to purchase. We are on schedule to have schools ready for their testing window.

Yes. Would really like to have a conversation about our entire arts program. With the change in our school funding model we have an opportunity to reinvest in the performing arts in an equitable way across the district. Your leadership would be much appreciated. If there’s a day where we can release you for the second half of the day I’d like to treat lunch and talk about what might be possible as early as next school year. Please call Lisa to find a day that works with both of us. We will use district business for the substitute teacher. Thank you. David David Miyashiro, Ed.D.
