Prayer for Finals Week

Lord Jesus,

Being fully human, as well as fully divine,
you know the pressures and stress that I face right now.
I ask that you guide me as I take this test,
so that I may do my best.
Help me to use the knowledge I have gained,
in this class and all my classes
to build up your kingdom,
for the good of all people. Amen

Good news- Student PSEA received a grant

Hurray!

 

We received notification that Gannon University Student PSEA (Pennsylvania State Education Association) has been awarded the CLASS grant we applied for from the National Education Association.   NEA is providing almost $1,000.00 to purchase costumes that 4^th graders can wear when reenacting “A Day in the 1880s”.  Gannon Student  PSEA members will also create educational posters for Hornby School Museum volunteers to use when groups of students visit and may volunteer to present the material themselves.

 

From the press release:

 

The Student Pennsylvania State Education Association at Gannon University is volunteering to provide support for an educational program at the only one-room school house left intact in east Erie County, Pennsylvania.  The Hornby School Museum, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, offers “A Day at School in 1880s” to children ages 8 to 12 who attend local schools or who participate in local community groups.  The Museum is located in the Wattsburg Area School District.  The teachers association in the District, Wattsburg Education Association, worked with the Gannon students to develop learning modules.

 

Gannon University students provide costumes for young visitors to Hornby to wear and learning modules to enhance the experience of participating in the curriculum of the 1880s-- penmanship, spelling, and having physical education through singing with body movement. The project was funded in part with a CLASS (Community Learning Through America’s Schools) Grant from the Nation Education Association’s Student Program.

 

CLASS projects are taking place nationwide.  Since 1989 college students on more that 200 campuses has become involved supporting children. CLASS projects are NEA student members working with others for community improvement.  At the same time the students are growing as professionals.

 

The NEA student program is a grassroots organization that serves more than 55,000 teacher candidates nationwide.

Congratulations to Dr. Fran Grandinetti, the M.Ed. Cohort Program, and All SOE Programs! Graduating senior, Nicole Drayer, has written an awesome letter to the Erie Times-News about our graduate programs!

Gannon garners accolades


Gannon University often receives great accolades for its high quality sports programs. The university is highlighted on a regular basis for its outstanding women's and men's basketball teams, with good reason.

Today, I would like to highlight another outstanding program offered at Gannon University. I recently completed the graduate cohort program with a degree in curriculum and instruction. The program offered one of the most valuable experiences that I have ever received. Each professor that I encountered was incredibly knowledgeable with curriculum that was equally impressive.

Francis Grandinetti, Ed.D., assistant professor of education and director of the graduate outreach program, is much like Gannon's basketball coaches. He is well experienced, always available and prompt in responding to questions.

If you are a teacher looking to advance your career with experience, I highly recommend the graduate program offered at Gannon University. Districts that hire a teacher with a Gannon graduate degree should know that they are receiving a highly qualified candidate!

In my opinion, the academics at Gannon University rank right up there with the sports programs.
