Visitoz

Visitoz

Visitoz is a Working Holiday programme which guarantees well paid jobs for young people from more than 70 countries of the world. The work is all in rural areas and jobs could be in teaching, child care, housekeeping, farm work, animal care, hospitality, tourism, nursing, construction and a mixture of all of any of them (the participant chooses). We meet participants at Brisbane Airport on a Thursday morning and they spend four days getting over jetlag by the beach and this is the time to meet all their new friends. The following Monday they travel to the Training farm where they learn everything to be useful in a rural enviroment, whatever job they will decide to do. They ride horses and motorbikes, drive tractors, use chainsaws and do fencing tasks, work with cattle and build and repair fences. They learn life skills such as how to change a wheel on a vehicle. On their 9th day they travel to the job of their choice. After three or four months work the money is burning a hole in their pocket (paid at the award wage and food & accommodation is provided) so that they have to go to spend it - with their new friends they go to the coast and the cities and 'play' sailing, diving, surfing, bungy jumping and sunbathing and taking tours. Just before they run out of money we ask them to call us again and they get another job - so that, in their year out, they can work and play their way around Australia without hassles.

International Studies Abroad - ISA

International Studies Abroad - ISA

One of the first impressions that we hope students will have of ISA is our service-oriented attitude towards study abroad. We are here to help each student throughout the entire study abroad process. From a student's initial contact with an ISA representative, we hope that he or she will quickly realize how important each individual is to us. We take each student's requests very seriously, and we are able to be flexible in order to meet his or her specific needs.

Our commitment to each student distinguishes ISA among other study abroad providers. We are available to assist students, parents, and university faculty and advisors throughout the study abroad process, from choosing the appropriate program for your level and interest to completing the application process and participating successfully in the study abroad experience. In addition to our ISA team in the U.S., ISA offers students the support of our qualified, full-time resident directors in each of our program sites. They are committed to maximizing each student's study abroad experience, both academically and culturally, and are well trained to guide our students through any situation that might arise while abroad.

ISA believes that by studying abroad, students not only observe another culture, but they also experience the culture by living a new way of life. Students encounter people from all types of backgrounds with whom they are able to make a connection, whether through similar interests, a shared laugh, or even a long bus ride. We hope that students will gain a cultural understanding and personal independence that can only be achieved by living and studying in another country. Moreover, we hope that students will continue to reap the benefits of study abroad by encouraging cultural understanding in their own communities. We recognize that this enlightening experience is becoming an increasingly precious asset as we encourage America's youth to become sensitive, responsible and contributing members of today's expanding global community.

Children learn in an environment where they feel safe and supported, so they may develop strong and ethical voices. We create opportunities for our students and families to act compassionately in our community and beyond.
Justice:
Our school honors Gideon Hausner, the great Israeli jurist and statesman. As Attorney General, Hausner worked to build the modern Israeli system of justice, and to outlaw international terrorism.

Miami Northwestern Senior High School

Miami Northwestern Senior High School

Miami Northwestern Senior High School formally opened in September 1955 and was located off 12th Avenue and 71st street. The mascot BULL comes from Dorsey. Once the new school opened, the former graduates from Dorsey would call it the New Bull. There are several graduates still living today from Dorsey. With the explosion of the "baby boom" children needing higher education in the second largest school district in the U.S., Florida's state officials deemed Miami, Florida as a major problem in secondary schools needed as early as 1953. Miami Northwestern was one of the schools in Dade County built to accommodate more students. At this time when Miami Northwestern opened, it served only the black residents of Dade County, along with some schools that had been turned into middle schools such as George Washington Carver, Mays and North Dade Middle Schools were all high schools for the black (negro) residents of Dade County, FL. The class of 1966 all over Dade County stopped having segregated schools, and most of the students from Booker T. Washington came over to Northwestern (and Miami Jackson Senior High School in 1967- 1968 to complete the following years of school. The original school boundaries were 71st Street on the north; 69th Street on the south; 12th Avenue on the west, and 10th Avenue on the east roughly where the new track and field area is today. Part of the new construction of Northwestern is located where some units of a public housing area (commonly called "The Village") used to be years ago. In 1960, the real student crunch hit Dade County. Dade Junior College (later changed its name to Miami Dade Community College North, known today as Miami Dade College) was one of the higher learning 2-year institution experiencing an overload of college-bound high school graduates. Miami Northwestern was chosen to relieve that overage demand with the formulation of Dade Junior College Northwest branch. This branch was moved back to the main campus in 1962. Besides the academic studies for all high school students in place at Northwestern, a comprehensive trade division was also installed in 1955 where students could learn a trade to start work immediately after graduation, making Miami Northwestern a full service community school.

Hearing Loss Association of America Kentucky Home Chapter

Hearing Loss Association of America Kentucky Home Chapter

It has been said that because someone invented a wheel, we drive cars. Rocky Stone, SHHH/HLAA founder, lost his hearing. He began a search to deal with living with hearing loss. He invited friends into his home to discuss their efforts and feelings. Then, in 1979, he incorporated Self-Help for Hard of Hearing People, SHHH (the wheel). Since that time, the organization has grown to an international entity with a worldwide impact. In the United States, we are 14 state organizations and 200 chapters (the car). He lost his hearing, and we learn to ask what others are doing to cope, share strategies and support each other through programs and social activities. HLAA-KY Home was chartered in Bardstown, KY in August 2009. Our HLAA-Kentuckiana Chapter was Chartered in 1988.

Douglas County

Douglas County

Douglas County was opened for settlement on May 15, 1854, and was named for Stephen A. Douglas, a senator from Illinois. The county was practically at the center of the Bleeding Kansas years as leaders in Lecompton, the territorial capital, wanted Kansas to be a slave state and leaders in Lawrence wanted Kansas to be a free state. Because of this, multiple events took place, including the drafting of the Lecompton Constitution admitting Kansas as a slave state, the sacking of Lawrence, the Battle of Black Jack and the Quantrill Raid.

Grammar Mechanics Foundation

Grammar Mechanics Foundation

Traditionally, good schools in America and in other English speaking countries taught grammar as a part of the English language curriculum, thus the term "grammar school" was common.  In the 1970's, however, there was a shift toward "experimental" class offerings that eventually phased out the teaching of grammar and left a mishmash of approaches to writing and speaking in its place.  By the late 1980's and early 1990's, grammar, considered too complicated to teach and too difficult to learn was no longer taught in most public schools.   As a result colleges and employers were encountering students and a work force unable to write and speak correct English.  Nationwide test scores revealed generations of students who did not know if they were or were not writing or speaking English properly.   Grammar Mechanics Foundation founders believed that an online program could provide grammar games that would offer a creative and engaging way to learn basic grammar using an interactive cartoon based program.
www.EnglishGrammarHelp.com is a program designed so that students can easily understand English grammar and have the confidence to know that their speaking and writing skills meet the standard conventions of English giving them greater opportunities for purposeful life and gainful employment.
