TWO important things about the Solar Eclipse 2017- Even though I say two things really it is one thing as it involves I want to see this darn eclipse but worry about this eye damage thing. At first, I thought how bad could viewing a solar eclipse hurt one's eyes and how does anyone know this, is there proof of someone having eye trouble from looking at it without protective eye wear?

Since I can be lazy I did research using the web check out what I found!


Below is a video detailing the dangers of viewing an eclipse without eyewear.

According to the Washington Post, there were fourteen observers in the 1999 solar eclipse who experienced permanent eye damage from viewing the eclipse without proper eye wear as well as several thousand who sought medical care.

Where do I get these darn glasses-because I want free ones but think I am S.O.L. (that is not the Spanish word for sun, in this case, I am saying I think I waited too long).

SEVEN 7 components-Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE)

The Department believes that strengthening educator practice can be achieved by improving talent management systems. The Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE) Continuum is made up of seven components that should be used in comprehensive and systematic ways to improve the quality, quantity, and diversity of the teacher and principal workforce, and most importantly – improve student outcomes. Within the context of a comprehensive TLE system, data about educator practice and student learning obtained from evaluation systems can help inform decisions to prepare, recruit, develop, retain, and ensure equitable access to effective educators. Preparation  – Collaboration or formal partnership between LEAs and Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) or other eligible partners. Recruitment and Placement  – Activities to attract the most effective educators to LEAs and the schools that need them. Induction and Mentoring  – Individualized support for new and early career ed...

For these instructors, education becomes a liberatory exercise where classroom assignments become opportunities to teach for social justice. Additionally, culturally relevant instructors place tremendous emphasis on supporting African American students' of academic achievement (Ladson-Billings, 2006). Far from sympathetic, this support represents a sincere desire to take the necessary measures so the educational experience is germane to these students' lived experiences. Lastly, Ladson-Billings asserts that culturally relevant instructor...
