International President’s Message 

My dear Alpha Delta Kappa Sisters, 

Reflections from the year 2010 illuminate many glowing memories. This year has been 

the busiest yet one of the most blessed of my life. Our family has been blessed with good 

health, opportunities, and of course, some challenges. Sharing experiences with five granddaughters, 

Haylee (17), Lexee (12), Whitnee (10), Emma (8) and Caroline (5) provide many 

blessings. It is a joy for me when you share similar sentiments about your lives. Observing, 

reading about and sharing the accomplishments and the enrichment Alpha Delta Kappa provides 

for almost 40,000 members throughout the year are most gratifying. 

The state, provincial and national conventions, the regional conferences, fall leadership 

activities, Alpha Delta Kappa Month, A∆K anniversary celebrations and the November International 

Teacher Education Cultural Exchange were among the highlights of the year. These 

events provided the opportunity for the International Chapter to meet, correspond and have 

fellowship with our members. The dedication of the Alpha Delta Kappa School in Vietnam was 

an unforgettable experience for your Executive Board Chairman and International President. 

The seven regional conferences radiated the dedication, commitment, enthusiasm and 

Jane Miller 

generosity of Alpha Delta Kappa sisters. Each International Vice President and her team provided a unique and wonderful 

experience. It was an inspiring, exhilarating experience to meet many new sisters and enjoy the camaraderie. Sharing 

fraternally and professionally and bonding through personal joys, concerns and ideas was inspirational. 

The leadership and membership throughout the states, provinces and nations are commendable. Outstanding 

women lead with a vision for the future and a commitment to the longevity and strength of our organization. Alpha Delta 

Kappa celebrates 63 years of moving forward and the continuation of Excellence in Action. Each member and leader 

plays a role in this continuity and strength for the future. 

Our organization is blessed to have 23 phenomenal women serving on International Chapter. They serve above and 

beyond the expectations, contributing countless hours to committee work, attending meetings and representing Alpha Delta 

Kappa in a professional way. Each is a uniquely dedicated individual with strengths which complement the group, willing to 

address issues and committed to keeping our organization strong and viable far into the 21st century. An outstanding Headquarters 

staff exemplifies the same love for our sorority, its purposes and standards. Our appreciation is extended to each 

one of them for their untiring service, maintaining our beautiful facility in Kansas City, answering all inquiries in a timely 

manner, providing professional publications and going above and beyond the requirements of their job descriptions. 

The holidays radiate joy and excitement as families and friends plan for traditional holiday celebrations. In November 

and December, there are 10 holidays celebrated. Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the anticipation of a New 

Year include planning time to spend with family and friends. My wish is that your holidays will be the most memorable 

and enjoyable ever. All of us have so many blessings to reflect as we enjoy the season and the festive glow it brings. 

This poem evoked my sentiments for 

many of you. Throughout the year and 

especially during the holidays, I experience 

many heartfelt concerns for those whose 

joy has been minimized by loss of loved 

ones, financial difficulties, illness, trauma 

and dilemmas which may seem overwhelming 

at times. My prayer for each of you, my 

dear sisters, is that you will be “internally 

complete,” facing the New Year and each 

new challenge with renewed courage and 

stamina. Our sisterhood provides a support 

system like no other. Enjoy the holidays 

and look forward to a starlit New Year, 

“believing in YOU.” 

The year 2011 will usher in 365 days of 

possibilities for personal and professional 

gratification. “To be a star, you must shine 

your own light, follow your own path, and 

don’t worry about the darkness, for that is 

when the stars shine brightest.” (Author 

unknown) “Purpose and laughter are 

Internally Complete 

This inspiration that I have inside of me, 

creates the kind of passion that everyone can see! 

I smile even when I’m sad—I can make myself just do it! 

no matter what the problem is—I know I can get through it! 

But it all starts right here—in my positive thinking mind 

and if you search within yourself—I know that you will find . . . 

a leader who’s determined not to lie down on the 

ground. 

When you lift yourself up higher and 

reach for what you know, you’ll be amazed at what’s inside 

and how your heart will grow. 

So find that inspiration that can carry you lots of places— 

and forget about the sadness that leaves only empty spaces. 

I know that you are great and I know that you’re complete, 

just believe in yourself that you won’t accept defeat! 

—Kimberly P. Johnson 

the twins that must not separate. Each is empty without the other.” (Robert K. Greenleaf) Live, laugh and love! Shine 

brightly among the galaxy of brilliant stars! 

Happy Holidays from your 2009-2011 International Chapter. 

With fraternal love, Jane Miller, International President

Alpha Delta Kappa’s 

27th International Convention – 

“Excellence in Action” 

July 13 – 16, 2011 

Chicago, Illinois 

“Chicago, Chicago 

You’ll have the time, the time of your life . . . 

Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in 

Chicago, Chicago . . .” 

Can’t you just hear Frank Sinatra singing? Chicago is 

truly a magical city. Its magic lies in its mix: sophisticated 

yet midwestern friendly, bustling city streets adjacent to 

long stretches of green parks and the sparkling blue water 

of Lake Michigan along with a stunning array of things to 

see and do. Navy Pier, Millennium Park, the Art Institute 

of Chicago, theatre, music, dance, shopping, nightlife 

and an endless assortment of restaurants to match every 

taste, budget and mood are all nearby our host hotel. 

The beautifully renovated Chicago Marriott Downtown 

Magnificent Mile Hotel is in the heart of everything. 

Chicago is one of the most accessible cities in the 

world. O’Hare International and Midway International 

Airports offer thousands of flights a day. Over 50 different 

airlines service Chicago, helping make flights less 

expensive than most major U.S. cities. 

It is a big city, but it’s remarkably easy to get around. 

Taxis, limousines and public transportation are readily available. In fact, Chicago has the second largest fleet of 

taxis in the nation with approximately 6,900 cabs. 

Plan now to join in the fun in Chicago. Spend a few days and you may even be calling Chicago your “hometown!”

Convention Speakers 

How to Stay D.R.I.V.E.N. - Charting A Bolder Course! 

Children’s author and motivational speaker Kimberly P. Johnson has written 12 

children’s books and has been recognized on many national and international 

levels, including Rotary International and the White House. Her presentations have 

been hailed as the “Best By Far.” Sharing a varied background in education and 

community service, she creates an atmosphere that is full of energy and inspiration! 

With academic degrees in early childhood education, youth development and 

communications studies, she is able to engage all audiences. Her theme of “How to 

Stay Driven – Charting a Bolder Course” will motivate educators and administrators 

to continue fulfilling their professional roles as well as personal goals. The 

presentation will not only motivate the audience but inspire them to continue 

reaching for success. Her love for learning and transforming young lives is beyond 

contagious! Best of all, her interactive style will have participants on their feet and 

excited about education. Don’t miss this memorable keynote presentation! 

Dr. Terry Brenner, a bi-cultural native of Devils Lake, North Dakota and Providence, Rhode 

Island, is the director of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development 

for the Grand Forks Public School District. During his educational career of 26 years, he has 

been an elementary school teacher, an elementary school principal for 18 years, served as 

an interpreter and tutor for the hearing impaired and as an adjunct associate professor in 

the department of educational leadership at the University of North Dakota. Just over two 

years ago, he returned from a one-year stay in the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East 

where he was the director for school leadership for the country’s 730 government schools 

and assisted in the development of the inaugural educational leadership program at Zayed 

University in Dubai. During the 2007-08 school year, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of 

Education committed to a long-term plan to reshape the educational experience of students, 

teachers and principals in the country’s seven Emirates. Sustainable and enduring reform required building greater 

leadership capacity of the principals in each of the schools. The result was the creation of the Principal Advisor 

Program, a program that placed a seasoned and proven educational leader in a side-by-side working relationship 

with principals in 50 of the 730 schools in the first year. The latter experience is what Dr. Brenner will share with us. 

Worthy Learning: Students are Worth the Learning that’s Worth Doing 

Sarah Nessling: Educators sit on the precipice of worthiness every day, tenuously 

balancing the needs of learners with the demands of a worthwhile learning experience. 

Overcoming this challenge means meeting students where they are, each day. When 

students see their questions, motivations, and passions reflected in their work, they will 

understand its worth and move to exceed even their own expectations. When teachers 

individualize instruction, teach with passion, and seek innovation, they model the kind 

of lifelong learning that reveals potential and promises self-reliance. Teachers will 

secure the learning processes that won’t just defy cloistering paradigms, but envision 

new ones. 

Charles W. “Bud” Bruton, Jr., President, Bruton Financial Advisors, LLC. 

Bud is on the Board of Veterans Vietnam Restoration Project (VVRP). He has been in 

the financial planning and wealth management industry since 1970 and is a graduate of 

Washington & Jefferson College. After graduating, he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant 

in the United States Army. He flew fixed wing (Bird-Dogs) as a US. Army Forward Air 

Controller in “I Corp,” South Vietnam. He is a decorated senior aviator who has been 

awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air medal with 19 Oak leaf clusters, the Bronze 

Star, the Army Commendation Medal and the Vietnam Honor Medal.

International Convention Altruistic Project 

Shriners Children’s Hospital 

When the 

International 

Convention cochairmen 

were 

apprised of the 

need to name an 

altruistic benefactor, a bulletin 

was sent to all Illinois 

sisters asking for needy and 

deserving organizations 

in or near Chicago. There 

were 11 organizations that 

the chairmen brought to 

the state board. Becky 

Ayers, Illinois Lambda 

Chapter’s father has been 

involved with Shriners 

Children’s Burn Hospital 

for years, and it was the 

overwhelming winner. 

Help kids defy the 

odds by supporting Shriners 

Hospitals for Children. 

Special cookie cutters

Convention to

Shriners Hospitals for 

Children is a one-of-akind 

international health 

care system dedicated 

to improving the lives 

of children by providing

for thousands of kids 


with orthopedic conditions, 

burns, spinal cord 

injuries, and cleft lip and 

palate in a caring and 

nurturing family-centered 

environment. It’s how 

Shriners Hospitals for 

Children has been helping 

kids since 1922. 

EVENING OF ENTERTAINMENT—“CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES!” 

The Evening of Entertainment is a benefit for the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. The theme for the fun-filled 

evening comes from a popular song by Kool and the Gang that promises “We’re going to celebrate and have a 

good time.” 

The evening will be packed with fun, laughter and some very lively music. Hollywood’s most famous trio, The 

“Chicago Rat Pack” – Dean, Sammy and Frank will serenade their way into your hearts as they perform some of 

their classic favorites. Their authentic look and sound will not only entertain you but will amaze you. 

Not to be out done by The “Chicago Rat Pack,” Jake and Elwood – the Blues Brothers impersonators will join in 

the fun and frolic. Their high energy performance complete with choreography, fantastic vocals and 

musicianship will be sure to have you up on your feet to “Shake Your 

Tailfeather!”

Chicago’s 

Rat Pack! 

Good Times” and happy surprises. Have a fun-filled

kills 22 people waiting innocently in line to buy bread, an unnamed cellist vows to play at the point of the 

impact for 22 days. The novel brings to life conflict both in a city at war and in the people who are forced to 

live a life of constant danger. All participants are asked to read the novel prior to attending the Educational 

Symposium. 

7. How to Run a $uccessful Plant $ale Dot Gillespie, NH Mu

On May 16, 2010, at age 56, I had a heart attack. Prior to that, I thought I was pretty healthy! Let me share my 

experience and what I’ve learned about women and heart disease while on my journey back to wellness. 

Knowledge is power against this silent killer. 

16. Book Discussion: “The Help” Kay Yogi, HI Zeta 

“The Help” by Kathryn Stockett is about three women in 1960’s Mississippi whose determination to start 

a movement of their own forever changes a town and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers,

Stars Reflecting 

Excellence 

International President Jane 

Miller’s Address to the 2010 

Regional Conferences 

It is my sincere pleasure to 

be with you as we are sharing 

“Reflections of Excellence” in 

the seven regions of Alpha Delta 

Kappa, and tonight we share 

reflections from the stars. Many 

individuals have stars named for 

them. Some of you may be able 

to set the axis of your telescope 

and at a specific alignment, view 

your star. I would like to name 

a star for each member of Alpha 

Delta Kappa, and then when I 

gaze into a star-studded sky, I 

could reflect on your endearing 

qualities. One of my favorite 

quotes is, “good friends are like 

stars—you don’t always see them, 

but you know they are there.” 

This awareness prevails among 

Alpha Delta Kappa members. 

Vincent van Gogh once stated, 

“For my part I know nothing 

with certainty, but the sight 

of the stars makes me dream. 

When we ponder the stars, when 

we reach for our dreams, we 

are never bothered by how far 

away they seem. Instead, we 

are inspired by the beauty of our 

vision. Dreams are like stars— 

brilliant and permanent.” 

Stellar “Reflections of Excellence” 

have been observed Ø

Stellar “Reflections of 

Excellence” have been observed 

among the membership in each 

of our seven regions during the 

conferences. “In a sky full of 

stars, there are always some that 

shine a little brighter.” My dear 

sisters of each region, you shine 

brighter than our brightest star 

in my heart.

The fellow said, “Nope, I 

want you to multiply my I.Q. five 

times. The voice again, “You do 

not know what you are asking! It 

will change your entire view on 

the universe. Wish for something 

else, a million dollars, anything!” 

But the man persisted in his wish 

that his I.Q. be increased five 

times. The voice replied, “Done.” 

The third fellow turned into a 

woman. Do be careful what you 

wish for. Sorry guys. 

To counter balance this, I 

would like to share with you a 

few blonde jokes I have heard 

along this regional conference 

journey. 2006-2010 Northwest 

Regional Mentor Marilyn Chandler 

and Kay Faust from the 

Northeast Region shared these 

with conference attendees. Two 

blondes were talking and one

viewed a falling star, many of us 

were prompted to make a wish. 

I recently read about three 

men who were gazing at the 

stars. As one star fell, the first 

man made a wish that his I.Q. be

do that. It’s way too hot.” The 

American says, “We’re not stupid. 

We know that. We’re going 

at night.” 

We do sincerely appreciate 

what our Alpha Delta Kappa 

Men’s Association does for us. 

At every conference and convention, 

they are present to assist 

and support Alpha Delta Kappa 

in any way requested. Our 

International Men’s Association 

is led this biennium by President 

Arnold Bjorkman of Illinois, 

President-Elect Bill Moyers of 

Virginia, Secretary-Treasurer 

Barry Estell of Kansas, Historian 

John Jordan, Louisiana and 

International Convention Men’s 

Activities Director Bob Meyst of 

North Carolina. Sherrill Carroll 

of Tennessee is already planning 

golfing events for the men who 

enjoy that sport. 

As a point of personal privilege, 

I would like to thank my 

husband Bobby for all he and 

our family do to support me in 

my involvement as International 

President of Alpha Delta Kappa. 

He is always sure I have everything 

I need and offers his love 

and support in all that I do. We 

are soul mates and best friends. 

Bobby, I love you for who you 

are and the example you always 

set in our daily lives. 

“Alpha Delta Kappa Excel- 

lence in Action” is our International 

theme for the biennium 

with stars being symbolic of 

the excellence of our organization. 

We are indeed an honorary 

organization of women educators 

dedicated to Excellence in Action. 

Our International Chapter 

for 2009-2011 is from across the 

United States with representation 

at each conference from 

other regions. For each conference, 

Edwina Aaron, Lynette 

Varner, Judy Devokaitis, Beverly 

Quiring, Sherryl Longhofer, 

Ruth Ann Griggs and Pat Pursell 

are our brightest stars, serving 

as the International Vice Presidents 

for the seven regions. Our 

23 members of International 

Chapter traveled to and participated 

in different regional 

conferences, shining brightly in 

a stellar galaxy. 

Leadership in each region 

mirrors and manifests stars of 

excellence. Stars twinkle and 

glow more brightly throughout 

the regions because of past leaders. 

Their goals, visions, dreams 

and ideas will be reflected 

among the stars into eternity. 

Many leaders internationally 

have had a direct influence on 

my involvement in Alpha Delta 

Kappa. Many past and current 

leaders from other regions 

joined us at each of the confer-

ences. Members of International 

Standing Committees are among 

the stars, sharing their commitment 

and dedication to Alpha 

Delta Kappa. The International 

Standing Committees devote 

countless hours to the work of 

their committees. I sincerely appreciate 

each committee member’s 

willingness to serve. 

For a few minutes, let us focus 

on the stars. Stars—brilliant 

and bright—with their enduring 

glow are universal symbols of 

our highest hopes, dreams and 

ideals. Historically, stars have 

been important to civilizations 

throughout the world. 

As we view photos from our 

state, provincial and national 

conventions in each region, 

reflections of star qualities are 

evident. We observe the smiles, 

the recognition of outstanding 

contributions to education, 

the happiness and kindness 

of our membership. At our 

state, provincial and national 

conventions, as well as at these 

regional conferences, we place 

in the starlight: (1) Honoring 

our country and the freedom we 

enjoy; (2) The accomplishments 

of students; (3) Recognition and 

praise of our members, including

within our own communities, as 

well as at the International level. 

The International World 

Understanding Committee 

facilitates world understanding 

efforts throughout our organization 

by means of education and 

increasing our awareness of 

available opportunities. Excellent 

articles are published in the 

Kappan about travel to foreign 

destinations, as well as understanding 

ourselves and who 

we are in relationship to other 

cultures. 

The Alpha Delta Kappa- 

International Teacher Education 

program is a stellar example of 

world understanding as we interact 

with the students who are in 

the United States for one to two 

years to study at our universities 

and colleges. The Alpha Delta

is everyone’s concern. As a 

result of my challenge issued for 

each state, province, or nation 

to begin one new chapter before

new chapters have been formed. 

There is still time to get the 

process started before the end

I would like to commend 

Linda Chambers, International

we have made in the use of technology

27th International Convention Ø

International Vice President, 

Southwest Region Pat Pursell 

in Chicago, Illinois. My work 

for the Convention began three 

years ago in San Diego! 

My thoughts to each of you: (1) 

Continue a service attitude; (2) 

Focus on priorities; (3) Understand 

the soft stuff—recognition 

and praise light the way for our 

members; (4) Embrace humor 

and optimism; (5) Excellence is 

not an act; it’s a habit; (6) Take 

risks; (7) Reinforce core values; 

(8) Earn trust; (9) Take action; 

and finally (10) Aim for the heart 

because—“They don’t care how 

much you know until they know 

how much you care.” 

One of my favorite Willow 

Tree figurines is the “Bright 

Star—Reflecting a Light from 

Within.” As I look out at you 

and meet other Alpha Delta 

Kappa sisters as I travel, the star 

qualities from within each of you 

are reflected. YOU are the “Stars Reflecting 

Excellence.” I would like to close with this 

poem, Aim for a Star by Helen A. Marshall: 

Aim for a star! Never be satisfied 

With a life that is 

less than the best; 

Failure lies only 

in not having tried— 

In keeping the soul suppressed. 

Aim for a star! 

Look up and away, 

And follow its beckoning beam. 

Make each Tomorrow 

a better Today— 

And do not be afraid to dream. 

Aim for a star! 

And keep your sights high! 

With a heart full of faith within, 

Your feet on the ground, and your 

eyes on the sky, 

Alpha Delta Kappa sisters, 

You will continue to reflect your 

star from within. 

Thank you for welcoming me three years 

ago and at each regional conference. I recognize 

the starry roles you play and commend 

your dedication to Alpha Delta Kappa. You will 

shine forever within my heart.t

“Do you think your organization 

would like to make 

a donation to help build a 

school in Vietnam?” I could 

never have imagined the 

impact this question from Bud 

Bruton, member of the Board 

of Directors for VVRP (Vietnam 

Veterans Restoration Project) 

would have for me or for Alpha 

Delta Kappa. 

A proposal was submitted, 

unanimously approved and 

Project S.A.V.E (Sisters Aiding 

Vietnamese Education) was of- 

The Vision 

of WE 

ficial. We turned to our membership 

to raise $50,000 and 

fully fund the five-room school 

in Ta Rinh, located in the Nam 

Dong District, Thua Thien-Hue 

Province of Vietnam. From 

the first announcement, flyer, 

S/P/N conventions, DVD and 

Regional Conference presentations, 

the support of this 

project has been overwhelming. 

The excitement Project 

S.A.V.E has generated in our 

members hasn’t happened in 

many years! 

So now, it is time to share 

with you, my sisters, the wonderful 

experience of traveling 

to Vietnam for the dedica- 

tion of the Alpha Delta Kappa 

School on September 3, 2010. 

Where to begin? 

In the words of Dr. Seuss’s 

“Oh the places you’ll go” came 

to mind when our itinerary arrived. 

I’m sure when we plan 

our travel to destinations we 

have never been before we visualize 

what we can expect to 

see. My expectations certainly 

didn’t anticipate how different 

this trip would be. 

Landing in Hanoi . . . So, 

this is the famous city that so 

many of us have heard about. 

Hanoi, originally named Thang 

Long, is nearly a thousand 

years old, but for many it has Ø

Alpha Delta Kappa School teachers, Vietnamese dignitaries and VVRP members for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. 

24 

Excellence in Action for World Understanding

not aged at all. I read that 

Hanoi is considered a city of 

life—one that is open, personal 

and spontaneous—and 

it proved to be exactly that. 

Hanoi has not been overwhelmed 

by international franchises/mass-marketed 

brands 

and retail outlets that you see 

so many other places. Hanoi is 

still authentic. I watched residents 

doing their morning exercises 

around Hoan Kiem lake 

and smelled the wonderful 

aroma of fresh baked French 

bread. Being in Hanoi you get 

the feeling that you “belong” 

to the place because most 

shops are owner-operated and 

there is still a lively street life. 

Did I mention the thousands 

and thousands of motor bikes? 

Crossing their streets was a 

challenge at times but the history 

and areas of beauty were 

certainly worth it. 

Next stop, Hue. The song 

“I Left My Heart in San Francisco” 

comes to mind when I 

think of this wonderful city. I 

truly loved my time here. Hue 

means the imperial palace, 

tombs and shrines. But, the 

true world heritage of Hue 

is the entire region—about a 

hundred square kilometers of 

well-preserved ancient sites 

surrounds the city. Hue is a 

mystical place and the only 

place in Vietnam that bears the 

stamp of the ancient citadel 

with its unique material and 

non-material culture. The 

Imperial City, Royal Tombs, 

pagodas and temples are in 

harmony with the tranquility 

of hills and greenery, creating 

the beauty of Hue. Experiencing 

the Citadel with Bud 

Bruton was truly emotional. 

This was a landing area for 

him during his tour of duty in 

Vietnam. Hearing about his 

experiences only helped to 

reinforce the belief that our 

Project S.A.V.E was not just 

about “a school building” but 

International Executive Board Chairman Linda Rissel’s cheerleading days came back to 

her as she shared some instruction with dedication ceremony performers. 

about improving lives. Hue is 

a city of great history, wonderful 

people and cuisine that was 

handed down from the King 

and Queen. Experiencing the 

flavors of their beef noodle 

soup, rice dumplings, salty 

rice and all the special foods

world. While the tranquility 

and beauty were breathtaking, 

meeting and sharing delicious 

Vietnamese food in the home 

of a Vietnamese family, friends 

of Bud, was memorable. This 

family epitomized the culture 

and true meaning of family life 

in this country! I felt a genuine 

warmth and strong pride 

of country that is not always 

present in the United States. 

The family was not rich with 

material possessions but rich 

in family strength, tradition 

and love.

The drive there was an experience!

Letter from VVRP Board Member Charlie Wishart 

Dear Linda, Jane, et al, 

First of all I’d like to express my sincere appreciation for all your 

efforts in helping VVRP to continue our mission. Your contribution 

to our Team 25 project is immeasurable in terms of healing the 

wounds of war. 

The tangible results are no less significant. This school that 

you brought to Ta Rinh will provide opportunity to the children for 

many years. These opportunities were not available in this remote 

region before your contribution. Thank you and, of course, all the 

sisters of Alpha Delta Kappa. 

On a personal note, I am grateful for the time we spent while in 

Hue. Especially memorable was the dedication ceremony for the 

Alpha Delta Kappa School. The looks on your faces, the smiles, the 

tears, helped me to appreciate all the work that VVRP does toward 

its mission. I am grateful as well, and fortunate, to be a part of this 

mission. Again, thank you. 

Finally, an update: 

Regarding the surplus realized upon completion of this project 

of approximately $1,800 uSD, or 36,000,000 VND: I met with the 

staff at HuFO to discuss the remaining needs of the school. 

I was presented with a list as prepared by the school staff and 

superintendent. This comprehensive list should satisfy all needs 

at this time. Kitchen equipment, including but not limited to: gas 

ranges, pots, pans, rice cookers, dishes, utensils, shelving, cups 

and bowls are included. Teaching aids, such as a TV, DVD player, 

toys, games, P.T. equipment, etc. are on this list, as well as musical, 

mathematics, spelling, nutritional and situational aids. 

I have approved this list in its entirety and will sign a contract 

with Nam Dong District to make these purchases and deliver the 

equipment to the school. This contract will bring your contribution 

balance to zero. 

These final details do represent the icing on the cake, so to 

speak. Even more important is the fact that all of these measures 

tend to motivate the district, the families and the educators to 

continue improvements such as landscaping, garden building and 

to maintain these things accordingly. 

I’m very optimistic that this will happen. 

My best of luck to Alpha Delta Kappa in all your future 

endeavors, and my best regards to you. 

Sincerely, 

Charlie Wishart

Funny how my racing

this once-in-a-lifetime experience! 

Seeing the school, the 

people and, most importantly, 

the children smiling, clapping 

and filled with such respect 

will forever be burned into my 

heart and memory. Knowing 

that each donation by you, our 

members, made this dream a 

reality could never be reproduced

walking through this colorfully

Thank you for allowing me 

the opportunity to represent 

you and Alpha Delta Kappa.

Are We Doing the Smart 

Thing in Teacher Education? 

Technology has been idolized as the BEST of the best practices, and teachers are now 

routinely evaluated on their ability to use technology in the classroom. In fact, many 

districts expect daily, consistent use of high tech features such as Smart© or Promethean© 

boards. Is this engaging or enabling? Has “high tech” shoved “high touch” teaching into 

the background? 

As educators charged with preparing teachers for the 21st century classroom, have we 

narrowed our focus too much?

ever, in the past few months, 

As a college professor I have begun to feel that the 

who visits teaching interns to technology that was meant to 

evaluate their progress, and be engaging is now enabling 

as a consultant whose work the teacher to rely solely on 

includes classroom evaluations a laptop, an Internet link, and 

Action in Educational Excellence 

that big white board to make 

every lesson happen. 

And, I’m not quite sure 

that what’s happening is all 

good. Of course, surely in the 

beginning the children were 

mesmerized. It was all so glitzy, 

so fancy, so engaging. Don’t 

we all want engagement? It is 

the stuff of neural connections 

(Karges-Bone, 2009). It’s the 

holy grail of pedagogy. 

Yet, in recent days it 

seems more engaging for my 

20-something-year-old intern 

teacher than for the 20 8-yearolds 

who are in her class. 

Teachers are under enormous 

pressure to produce technologically 

perfect lessons, with 

so many bells and whistles, 

that it can be difficult to 

separate the technology from 

the teaching. One colleague 

in the trenches, a National 

Board Certified master teacher 

with three decades of experience, 

told of a recent evaluation 

of her lesson. “It went 

beautifully,” she recounted. “I 

thought I had knocked it out 

of the ballpark, and of course 

it was a positive assessment, 

but the evaluator actually 

noted that I took too long Ø

pressing the button on the 

laptop . . . resulting in a loss of 

instructional time.” She looked 

bewildered, and so did I. How 

much faster did IT need to go? 

Was the speed of light enough 

to satisfy our need to cover 

first grade standards for the 

life cycle of a plant? 

While you ponder that 

existential rumination, I’ll continue 

on the line of engagement. 

The teacher is supposed 

to employ the programs that 

allow children to uncover 

the right answer or make the 

clock face say the correct time, 

or beep when the incorrect 

answer is selected. And they 

do. But I have observed, more 

and more, that fewer children 

actually have the opportunity 

to move and touch and solve, 

and that even when they do, 

the physical activity is limited 

in its scope and sophistication. 

One teacher told me, in 

great secrecy and with pleas 

for anonymity, that she is 

“teaching her young students 

to cut and color.” This furtive 

instruction in once basic 

early childhood practice came 

about when she discovered 

that the children in other 

classrooms could barely negotiate 

crayons, scissors, and 

glue with any level of skill and 

success. I suspect that the 

mandate to use technology 

as the primary teaching tool 

has crept down into 4-year-old 

programs, leaving little time 

for development of these skills 

in the pre-K curricula. 

In addition, the once 

über-engaging Smart Board© 

now seems to be losing its 

allure for the most attentionchallenged 

youngsters. Where 

once the colors and dynamic 

action of the big screen could 

keep the ADD and dare I say 

“BAD” (Karges-Bone, 2005) 

students in place and entranced 

for a time, my recent 

One teacher told me, in great secrecy and with pleas for 

anonymity, that she is “teaching her young students to 

cut and color.” 

encounters across several 

counties suggest that even the 

most sassy lesson on a screen 

wears thin for children who 

need to be doing something 

themselves. 

The minty smell of glue 

was what my limbic system 

remembered. Gluing the 

paper numbers onto a paper 

plate clock face and twisting 

brads to make the “big hand 

and little hand” that had been 

laboriously cut by little human 

hands was the lesson that I 

was not seeing and probably 

will not see in an early childhood 

classroom in the near future. 

That’s kind of sad, but not 

nearly as sad as what I swear I 

saw in a classroom last week. 

“The Smart Board© is 

reading the book to them,” my 

pleased young teaching intern 

reported. “It reads the basal 

story and they follow along. 

This increases fluency.” 

“That’s just ducky,” I 

thought, feeling like an old 

curmudgeon if ever there was 

one. Now the thing even reads 

for the teacher. How far will we 

go into the great abyss? But 

I felt better when my intern 

teacher made his request: “It 

is Dr. Seuss’s birthday next 

week. We hoped you would 

come in and . . . you know . . . 

read a story to them. Like you 

did for us when we took your 

Kiddie Lit class at the college. 

That would be great.” 

Indeed. The novelty of it. 

Reading a story. Aloud. Without 

the big board and the computer 

and the blinking lights. 

I’ll do more than that. I’ll read 

the story and dress up in a 

funny hat and smuggle some 

big old crayons in and follow 

up with some coloring. Lord 


help us, I feel like a terrorist. 

Seriously, whether one 

calls it a Smart Board© or a 

Promethean Board© or just a 

really flashy projected presentation 

using a laptop, technology 

infused teaching can be a 

wonderful addition to a teacher’s 

repertoire. My concerns 

surface when it seems to be 

the only instructional tool. As 

one of my trusted colleagues 

sighed after reading the draft 

of this essay: “High tech is 

great, but it will never replace 

high touch.” Losing our concept 

of sensory-rich teaching 

would not be “smart,” no matter 

how fast the lights blink or 

the slides change. Somewhere, 

someday, I want to smell the 

minty school glue and know 

that all is right with the world.t 

About the Author 

Linda Karges-Bone, a

does so on a limited basis. 

This tongue in cheek essay is 

meant to create a thoughtful 

discussion on how “smart” it is 

to use any kind of technology 

in excess, excluding the 

valuable, dendrite-friendly, 

organic practices that were 

once such a robust part of 

one’s teaching inventory.

Education in Mexico and the United States 

Becoming Bi-Cultural 

By Eloisa Cudney 

ImmedIate Past mexIco 

NatIoNal PresIdeNt 

Many years ago my father’s 

company transferred him from 

Mexico City to Los Angeles. 

My first encounter with the 

American public school system 

took place when I enrolled in 

Beverly Hills High School. The 

experience was quite shocking 

for a 14-year-old who barely 

spoke English. To begin with, I 

did not have to wear a uniform, 

and there was someone called a 

“counselor” who, with my father 

translating for me, made up “my” 

program for the first semester. 

Wasn’t there an established 

program for all the students 

alike? My program consisted of 

only five subjects per semester 

instead of the 14 I had in Mexico 

the previous year. 

The first day in my new 

school arrived. The front lawn 

seemed ominous and huge, 

compared to the typical school 

in Mexico. My dad took me 

to the principal’s office where 

the dean of girls, Mrs. Pauley, 

greeted me. A locker was assigned 

to me in a hallway that 

looked cavernous and silent. 

Everyone was already in class. 

Mrs. Pauley accompanied me 

and introduced me to my first 

class which was senior Spanish. 

The counselor thought that the 

best way for me to learn English 

was by being with students 

who were learning Spanish. 

That didn’t work because the 

teacher, Señor Padilla, didn’t 

speak Spanish well. I got a “C” 

that day on my first Spanish 

test. I didn’t understand the 

questions and didn’t dare get 

up and ask the teacher because 

in Mexico no student gets up 

during a test. 

When the bell rang, I didn’t 

know what to do. In Mexico the 

teachers changed classrooms, 

not the students. All the sounds 

of locker doors slamming, kids 

talking and bells ringing seemed 

to invade my whole body, frightening 

me. Mrs. Pauley saw me 

and came to my rescue, taking 

me to my locker to put away the 

Spanish textbook. That was another 

first. In Mexico my mother 

would take me to a bookstore 

to buy my textbooks for the year 

and cover them. In Beverly 

High the books were lent to me 

for a semester, and the books 

were kept in my locker, not in 

a compartment under the seat 

of “my” desk. Mrs. Pauley took 

me to my next class. Of course 

I was late and wondered if I 

would ever make a class on time 

during such a short break. The 

class was English I. That hour 

went by as a complete blank. I 

didn’t understand a thing. All 

I knew was that I was left with 

I got a “C” that day on my first Spanish test. I 

didn’t understand the questions and didn’t dare 

get up and ask the teacher because in Mexico no 

student gets up during a test.

a copy of Ayn Rand’s “The 

Fountainhead”—to be read that 

week—and a grammar handbook. 

Luckily that’s where I met 

my first friend, Deanne Gross, 

and she remained my friend 

during the next three-and-a-half 

years. We had English and biology 

together, and she helped me 

during recess. 

I had never been to a school 

cafeteria before nor paid for my 

lunch at school. As a matter of 

fact, my parents had not given 

me any money. The first day, 

Deanne shared some of her 

lunch with me and then took 

me to the gym after recess. I 

had taken physical education 

before, but not used a dressing 

room with showers and chosen 

the sport I wanted to play that 

quarter. That first day I just 

watched everyone swim and was 

assigned a second locker for my 

gym clothes. By the end of the 

day, I was exhausted and dying 

to go home. 

A long time has passed since 

that fateful day, and I have since 

returned to Mexico and become 

a teacher. The reason I became 

a teacher was not because I had 

a degree in education. I actually 

went to college to study theater 

arts and had a minor in education. 

The main reason was that I 

had become quite fluent in English. 

So, when I went to enroll 

my children in a private school 

in Mexico City, I was asked to 

give English classes. This meant 

I would be working at the same 

school my kids were attending 

and, as a fringe benefit, my kids 

would receive a scholarship from 

kindergaten through second 

grade. It also meant that, Ø

for the next 15 years, they would 

attend the same school and be in 

the same building. The preschool, 

elementary, middle and 

high schools were simply different 

sections within the building. 

This is typical of a private 

Mexican school. 

The education system in 

Mexico is complex. For example, 

in the private school 

where I taught, students spoke 

at least two languages because 

most private schools are bilingual. 

Students who wanted to 

get a bachelor’s degree outside 

Mexico ranked in the top 10 percent 

with their SAT scores. A 

large number of students graduated 

and went on to Ivy League 

universities such as Brown, 

Harvard and MIT. The rest 

of the graduating class would 

go on to Mexican universities 

and then get master’s degrees. 

Seldom did a student stop with 

just a high school education, and 

private education in Mexico is a 

norm for those who can afford it. 

There are many types of 

private schools geared toward 

specific needs and segments of 

the population. Some are run by 

different religious organizations 

and others are laic (secular) 

with an emphasis on science and 

languages. Some are run under 

the auspices of foreign countries 

to insure that their co-nationals 

follow the same programs and 

system as they would in their native 

country. Most students who 

go to these schools will attend a 

university in the country whose 

programs the school follows. 

For example, students who go to 

a British school in Mexico will 

try to attend a university in England. 

All private schools must 

also comply with the programs 

set by the Mexican Education 

Secretariat (SEP), and teachers 

at a private school must be 

authorized by the SEP.

Even before I started

school. Our backyard adjoined 

the playground of the elementary 

school and I could watch

A graduate class on brain

school freshmen. Traveling as 

a teacher leader with People

we toured “Merlin’s Mine.” A 

study tour to Greece inspired me 

to have my sophomores write 

and perform their own Greek 

tragedies. 

My involvement in professional 

organizations has led 

to leadership roles that also 

enhanced my teaching ability. 

Every time I have attended 

a conference, convention, or

take away something I needed to

Chapter 

Liz is a family and consumer 

sciences teacher and CTE Department 

chair at Marysville- 

Pilchuck High School 

and “College in the High 

School” instructor at Everett 

Community College. 

The Excellence in Education 

Award has provided 

an opportunity to reflect 

on the many gifts of my 

teaching career. Now 

starting my 38th year 

of teaching, I remain 

energized and focused 

on creating meaningful 

classroom experiences 

for all students each day. Additionally, 

I truly appreciate the 

colleagues and students who have 

inspired me to share my knowledge 

of family and consumer 

sciences, serve as an educational 

leader, and support my community. 

Teaching is sharing. 

State and local career and 

technical education departments 

have provided teacherleader 

opportunities throughout 

my career. Working with colleagues 

to develop curriculum 

guidelines, implement curriculum 

reform, participate in 

student-led community service 

projects and design small learning 

communities has enabled 

me to remain current in my 

field and better serve students 

and parents. With my master’s 

program and thesis through 

Seattle Pacific University, I 

focused on exploring and understanding 

brain development and 

learning styles. It made sense 

to be well grounded in both 

subject matter and effective 

instructional methods. Further 

training in the Myers-Briggs 

Type Indicator led to teaching 

adult continuing education 

classes and workshops. Teaching 

is learning. 

Doctoral studies and dissertation 

through Seattle University 

enabled me to expand my servant-leadership 

role. Believing 

schools have the unique ability 

to provide a continuum of care 

for students, my dissertation focused 

on social service through 

a statewide study of extended 

day programs for elementary 

students. Although I completed 

a principal internship, I found 

I needed classroom 

interactions to 

renew my spirit. My 

constituents are my 

students and I am 

best able to support 

them as a classroom 

teacher. Teaching is 

leading. 

Local educational 

reform brought challenges 

and opportunities. 

Three years 

ago I was part of a small learning 

community in which I was 

thrilled to build a teacher preparation 

course of study. When 

I aligned careers in education 

and child development classes 


with local community colleges, 

students were then able to 

earn affordable college credits. 

Teaching is caring. 

As with most teachers, I 

endeavor to meet more than just 

the educational needs of students. 

Career and technical education 

has a strong community 

service component that is part 

of all my classes. Accordingly, 

the heart of ADK, altruism, has 

expanded my outreach through 

projects such as Blankets and 

Books for young parents, St. 

Joseph’s House for low-income 

families, and Jared Boxes for 

hospitalized children. Teaching 

is giving back. 

As I reflect on my career, 

seeking and embracing change 

as an opportunity to serve, learn 

and lead have been consistent 

themes. Touching and influencing 

the “eye of the storm,” which 

is a classroom of young people 

growing towards adulthood, 

is powerful and energizing. I 

started my teaching career 

committed to my field of study 

and craft. I became a stronger 

educator by focusing on young 

people, working synergistically 

with colleagues and supporting 

my community. Teaching is 

heartfelt.

Cindy Lattimore 

Oklahoma Alpha Beta Chapter 

Cindy is a career 

counselor at Indian 

Capital Technology 

Center in Sallisaw, 

Oklahoma. 

I believe education 

should be fun. We 

learn more when 

having fun and are 

engaged in what we’re 

doing. That is when 

Cindy Lattimore education seeps into 

the brain and we wonder 

when we learned the material 

because we can’t remember 

anyone teaching us. 

As a career counselor, I 

believe another way to motivate 

students is to help them find a Ø

career that “lights them up.” I 

have seen students who hated 

school, who had failing grades 

and high absences turn themselves 

around because they 

found their reason for being 

in school: to get to the career 

that excites them. I remember 

the student who was the first 

person in his family to graduate 

from high school and had never 

thought about college. After 

he and I talked, he enrolled and 

has been successful. Two of 

my seniors might not have their 

high school diplomas if I had 

not pushed them to take extra 

steps they probably would not 

have taken. Another student 

had failed several classes when 

I helped him to realize that he 

could take an automotive class 

when he was a junior if he would 

just come to school—and he did. 

Today, I feel that one of my 

most meaningful contributions 

is the creation of a local counselors’ 

association. For over 

two years, counselors and other 

instrumental guidance people 

in the area have been meeting 

monthly to discuss current and 

timely issues. Every month 

we have a guest speaker. This 

allows me to help students in 

the entire county, not just my 

current students. I have helped 

our counselors to know the most 

up-to-date information, to gain 

valuable resources through a 

variety of guest speakers, and to 

provide the best services to their 

students. I offer my assistance 

and have been welcomed into 

their schools, contributing career 

guidance to their students 

on a group and individual level. 

I feel that communication 

is key to an educator’s success 

with students. Our monthly 

counselor’s association meetings 

not only allow the counselors to 

communicate better with each 

other but most importantly it 

impacts their students as well as 

mine. Truly, I think of them as 

“ours.” and feel that the boundaries 

from school-to-school are 

not as clear as they may once 

have been. Fundamentally, my 

efforts to strengthen communication 

stems from John Wesley’s 

words that I should “do all the 

good I can, in all the ways I can, 

as often as I can.” That’s what I 

try to do.

Shirley Upchurch 

Maryland Alpha Alpha Chapter 

Shirley teaches fourth grade 

at Calverton Elementary School 

in Beltsville, Maryland. 

My road to teaching has been 

winding. I graduated from the 

University of Maryland with 

a degree in home economics 

education, but instead of going 

straight into teaching in a high 

school, I went to work for the 

U.S. Navy, writing courses for 

sailors aboard ships who wanted 

to further their education. 

My family invited me to become 

a partner in our own craft 

store. I did all of the teaching 

and was able to use my creativity 

and teaching skills to help fiveyear-olds 

to grannies complete 

their projects. While working in 

the craft store, I drove a school 

bus full of special needs children. 

I quickly learned that I 

could make or break their day. I 

was the first person they saw in 

the morning that was associated 

with school, and I was the last 

person they saw in the afternoon. 

They filled my days with 

joy and challenges. 

While driving the bus, I also 

was able to work as an aide in 

an elementary school, and then 

as a TAG teacher, a substitute 

teacher, and as a school secretary. 

I continued to go to school 

to get my certifications. I was 

now certified to teach Pre-K 

through high school! 

Each day was filled with the 

joys, trials and tribulations of 

the children and adults I worked 

with, but something was missing. 

I really, really wanted my 

own classroom with my own 

students! Prince George’s 

County Public Schools asked me 


Shirley Upchurch with students 

to be the math resource teacher. 

My dreams and aspirations were 

becoming a reality. After only 

one year the budget was cut 

and I was offered a fourth grade 

teaching position. 

It was just what I wanted. 

The hours were long, the pay 

“short,” but those 37 children in 

that old school who greeted me 

each morning with smiles and 

out-stretched arms made it all 

worthwhile. It didn’t take me 

long to realize that teaching was 

not just a job or a career, but my 

passion! 

I became the fourth grade science, 

social studies and health 

teacher, and the science chair 

for the school. In 2008, the staff 

at Calverton Elementary nominated 

me for the prestigious 

Christa McAuliffe Outstanding 

Science Teacher Award. She 

was a teacher in Prince George’s 

County before losing her life 

in the shuttle disaster. I was 

selected by the superintendent’s 

office to receive the award. 

I love technology and incorporate 

it into the curriculum 

whenever I can. My classroom 

has almost as many computers 

as students. In 2009, my colleagues 

nominated me for the 

Prince George’s County Public 

Schools Outstanding Teacher 

Using Technology Award. What 

an honor and surprise! I was 

even more surprised when I won 

the award. 

Some of my most rewarding 

experiences have been the Ø

many workshops for 

parents, teachers 

and students I have 

conducted. The 

parent workshops 

give them hands-on 

opportunities, as 

well as sharing with 

them what their 

children are learning 

at school. The STEM 

Nights @ the Computer 

allow students to complete 

their project with teacher and 

parental help. The teacher 

workshops help them keep up 

with the latest technology. I 

have enjoyed teaching workshops 

on the use of multi-media 

technology across the curriculum, 

differentiating the curriculum 

using technology and ways 

to use digital cameras to meet 

the state technology standards 

for students and teachers. It has 

been my pleasure to present at 

various conferences and conventions 

including “Powering Up 

With Technology,” MSET, the 

Maryland ADK State Convention, 

at the Southeast Regional 

Conference, and at the 2009 

International Convention. 

During the summer, I have 

the privilege of teaching reading, 

math, writing, science and technology 

classes I have developed 

for elementary students in the 

“Kids on Campus” program at 

Montgomery College. 

Each year brings new faces, 

challenges, laughter, joy and 

memories that are being created. 

My youngest daughter 

is now a first-year teacher. It is 

exciting and rewarding watching 

her blossom as a teacher, 

and humbling and flattering 

when she asks me for ideas or 

advice. My goal as an educator 

is to provide a safe and caring 

learning environment for all of 

my students which will bring 

them into the 21st century as 

human beings who will enrich 

the world, make it a better place 

to live, preserve our resources 

for future generations, and live

Chapter 

As a 26-year 

teacher, I am proud 

of many things. 

I have had the 

distinct privilege to 

educate students in Florida and 

Arizona in many subjects, but 

my greatest legacy is in the field 

of United States history. I have 

taught U.S. history on all levels 

and believe that sharing the 

history of one’s own country is 

vital. Students have been given 

an opportunity to see the mistakes 

and successes of our past 

leaders and average citizens. 

They are now armed with the 

foresight to use the past in order 

to meet the challenges that 

face us today and tomorrow. 

I am also proud of the fact 

that I was able to pioneer several 

new courses at West Nassau 

High School and Chaparral 

High School. I was the first 

social studies teacher to offer 

advanced placement U.S. history, 

psychology II, anthropology, 

world history honors and 

dual-enrollment U.S. history for 

the West Nassau High School 

students. It was indeed an 

honor to offer a more expansive 

and challenging curriculum for 

an isolated and rural community. 

I believe that the students 

benefited from a selection of 

courses that otherwise might 

not been available. I was also 

able to offer the students an 

opportunity to participate in a 

World Showcase of Countries 

project for the first time at both 

schools. 

I was also honored during 

the 2007-2008 school year to 

be the first teacher at Chaparral 

High School to offer United 

States history at the honors 

level. I believed that our department 

needed to offer advanced 


U.S. history to the students 

who did not qualify for advanced 

placement courses, but 

needed to be challenged beyond 

what the regular classes could 

offer. The course has become 

so popular that I have increased 

the number of course offerings 

from the original two to four! 

Perhaps my most noteworthy 

professional accomplishment 

in the Scottsdale School 

district is the recognition by 

our social studies coordinator, 

Donna Schell, as the most 

successful advanced placement 

United States history teacher. I 

took over the course at Chaparral 

High School in 2004 and 

began with the students achieving 

a 54 percent pass rate on the 

national AP exam. My pass rate 

has continued to climb each 

year. In 2007, 100 percent of my 

students took the test and 94 

percent passed. I truly believed 

that this would be the pinnacle 

of my success. Imagine my 

surprise last year when 100 

percent of my students took the 

national test and 97 percent of 

them passed! This was a district 

record and a Chaparral record 

as well. Is it possible that my 

present and future classes could 

top this record? We welcome 

the challenge! 

Outside of the classroom, 

my most noteworthy professional 

accomplishment is my membership 

in Alpha Delta Kappa. I 

was asked to join in 1988, and 

have enjoyed the opportunities 

for service and to learn 

the skills of leadership. I have 

been blessed to travel and meet 

sisters from all over the world, 

and to give my contributions to 

the many fine altruistic projects 

as well. There are no words 

that can fully communicate how 

much Alpha Delta Kappa means 

to me. I believe my most important 

contribution to Alpha Delta 

Kappa was my opportunity to be 

the colonization coordinator for 

the new Florida Epsilon Alpha

California Beta Upsilon Chapter MeMBer reCeives national WoMen in 

histor y honor 

Pat Pyle, California Beta Upsilon Chapter, is a history teacher at Deer Valley High School in 

Contra Costa County. She was one of 25 outstanding national women educators recognized for 

her classroom curriculum, which includes the struggles and triumphs of women in the history of 

the United States. Pat was invited to attend the 30th Anniversary of Women in History luncheon 

celebration held in the Statutory Hall of Congress in Washington, D.C. March 25, 2010. The 

event was hosted by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke 

at the luncheon. 

The Women in History Project started in the northern California town of Santa Rosa. Pat got 

involved with the project in 1980 when she attended a training session presented by the project’s 

creator, Molly McGregor. Pat has incorporated women’s history as part of her curriculum for the 

past 30 years. While in Washington, D.C. Pat met Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights leader 

for the Freedom Riders; Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi; Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey 

from Santa Rosa; and Congresswoman Barbara Lee from Oakland, who is the granddaughter of 

C.J. Walker, the first African-American millionaire entrepreneur. 

This was not Pat’s first trip to the Capitol. She has also organized and chaperoned 12 visits 

with her high school students to Washington, D.C., Boston, New York and Philadelphia over 

the past 29 years. She has long been recognized by the local educational community for her 

contributions towards excellence in education, earning Antioch’s “Teacher of the Year Award” 

in 1998. She joined California Beta Upsilon Chapter in 1989, served as 2008-2010 chapter president 

and serves on the chapter’s Scholarship Committee each year.

Bettye Herrington Craddock, Texas Theta Chapter, received the 2010 Texas State Excellence 

in Education Award at the state convention. Proud to be a third generation Texas teacher, she said she considers 

teaching to be a special calling, one she has passed to both her children. “Besides 

being a wife and mother, teaching is all I ever wanted,” she said. She participates 

in professional development activities every year, providing her students with the 

latest techniques and technologies. 

Bettye considers the accomplishments of her students to be the highlight of 

her 26 years as advisor to The Flare, the weekly newspaper at Kilgore College. 

The Flare has won Sweepstakes, the highest Texas Community College Journalism 

Association (TCCJA) award 20 of the last 22 years and the highest Texas Intercollegiate 

Press Association (TIPA) award 18 of the last 22 years. Her students 

have received more than 1,000 individual awards. Last fall, the Bettye Herrington 

Craddock Journalism Center at Kilgore College was named in her honor. 

Among her most prestigious honors are a 1996 NISOD Excellence in Teaching 

Award, and a 1998 Minnie Stevens Piper Award, given to only 10 of more than 

60,000 eligible Texas educators. She was one of 12 women honored as Stars over 

Longview for their contributions to the community in 2006. The 1994 TIPA Advisor 

of the Year award, for which her students secretly nominated her, is one of 

Bettye’s most treasured honors. 

Bettye is a popular speaker for civic groups. She is the author of a book, 

many educational handbooks and manuals, numerous newsletters, newspaper

WisConsin Upsilon Chapter MeMBer honored 

On October 26, 2009, Wisconsin Upsilon Chapter member Pat Luostari 

was among 500 audience members as the Patricia Luostari Theatre for the 

Performing Arts was dedicated in her honor. The new performing arts center 

is located at Northwestern High School in Maple, where Pat has taught 

theatre arts and English since 1966. The crowd honored her with four 

standing ovations before the theatre was inaugurated with its first performance, 

the school’s fall concert. 

“For 45 years, Luostari has been encouraging the talents of students in 

class, on stage and in life as English teacher, forensics coach and director of 

plays and musicals,” wrote former student and Superior Wisconsin Telegram 

reporter Maria Lockwood in an October 30 article. 

“What makes Pat’s latest honor so rewarding are the memories I have of the years she directed plays when the stage 

was at the end of the gymnasium, microphones were non-existent and the spotlights were screwed into government-issued 

peanut butter cans, wired to wooden saw horses placed on the gym floor below the stage,” said chapter sister Jo Stewart. 

In contrast, the new 550-seat theatre has removable seats for disabled accessibility, an electronic control lighting system, 

and a Tascom professional sound system that includes five different types of microphones. “Last year’s production 

of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ made good use of it all,” said Jo. 

Humble about her accomplishments, Pat spoke of many colleagues she thought might have the theatre named for 

them, never imagining it could or would be her. Fellow faculty, family and friends kept the honor a secret until the night 

of the dedication celebration. “It was a marvelous surprise,” Pat said. “I was really totally, totally surprised.” 

A Wisconsin Upsilon Chapter member since 1991, Pat was also named Northwestern High School Teacher of the Year in 1984- 

1985, 1990-1991 and 2001-2002. “I was privileged to teach English and help coach forensics with this dedicated educator,” said Jo.

What Is The Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation? 

This is a question that many people ask often. I, too, have asked that 

question. It has been said that to find the answer to a question, one must be 

actively involved or engaged in it. At this point in the biennium, I must totally 

agree with whomever said this. I have found the answer to the question, “What is 

the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation?” The member who pays her dues each year. 

The member who makes a contribution to the Foundation in honor or memory of 

another sister is the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. The member who makes a 

contribution to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and/or Komen for the Cure 

through the Foundation is the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. The member 

who uses Goodsearch.com instead of Google, Bing or another search engine when 

looking for something on the Internet is the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. 

When a chapter makes a contribution toward the Chapter Challenge, they are the 

Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. When a member uses traveladk.org instead of 

Travelocity or another online travel site to book a flight, make a hotel reservation 

and/or rent a car, she is the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. And, last but not 

least, everyone who uses that wonderful silver piece of plastic, the Alpha Delta 

Kappa Credit Card is the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation. 

Why do I say that these members are the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation? 

Because if you do these things, YOU are the ones who are putting money 

into the Foundation to allow Alpha Delta Kappa to be able to continue the 

wonderful altruistic programs, scholarships and grants. Yes, YOU, are the 

ones who make all these programs possible. YOU are the ones who make the 

yearly $30,000 contributions to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and 

Susan G. Komen for the Cure. YOU are the ones who make the seven yearly 

Regional Professional Development Scholarships and the multiple Regional Mini 

Professional Development Scholarships. YOU are the ones who bring our brilliant 

International Teacher Exchange scholars to the United States to study. YOU are 

the ones who make the Fine Arts Grants possible. YOU are the ones who make 

the Excellence in Education Award possible. 

The immediate recipients of these altruistic dollars and scholarships and 

grants might be tracked. But can you imagine everyone affected—I think about 

dropping a pebble in water. Oh, my goodness, what an enormous impact YOU, 

the Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation, have made on this world. 

As Chairman of the Foundation, I speak of all the Trustees, when I say thank 

you for what you do to make your Foundation what it is, for what it is able to do. 

We thank you in advance for all that you will do in the future. 

With fraternal love, 

Ann Hudson 

Chairman, 

Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation

2010 Alpha Delta Kappa 

Scholarships in Review 

Each biennium Alpha Delta Kappa International awards more than a quarter of a million dollars through its eight scholarship 

programs. The following individuals are the most recent recipients of Alpha Delta Kappa scholarships and grants. Because 

of these valuable programs, more than 90 individuals have been able to further their talents, interests and careers. 

Living Memorial Scholarship 

Lorraine Moore, South Carolina Alpha Beta Chapter, is the recipient of the 2010 Living Memorial Scholarship. 

Lorraine is an elementary gifted/talented teacher of third- to fifth-grade students. She is using the scholarship 

to travel to South Africa, where she is conducting interviews and developing audiovisual material to enhance her 

curriculum for the 2010-2011 school year. She wants to broaden her students’ perspective of Africa and the world. 

Lorraine’s students have been corresponding via e-mail with students in several Johannesburg schools. Lorraine is 

visiting at least one of the schools, bringing pictures and gifts from her own students. 

“I want to enlighten and broaden my students’ thinking about Africa, particularly the history and culture of South 

Africa,” said Lorraine. “The dismantling of apartheid and the non-violent influence of Nelson Mandela, in themselves, 

make an inspiring case study for a rising generation. By experiencing South Africa through my eyes, learning 

about its similarities to their own country and communicating with South African students, I hope to have my young 

learners realize that they are world citizens.” 

Agnes Shipman Robertson Memorial Scholarship 

The Agnes Shipman Robertson Memorial Scholarship is a perpetuating endowment administered through the 

University of Missouri — Kansas City Conservatory of Music. 

This year there are two recipients. 

Joyce Armstrong, from Boston, is a sophomore majoring in dance. 

Erin Vander Wyst, from Appleton, Wisconsin, is working toward a doctorate of musical arts-performance with a 

concentration on the clarinet. 

International Teacher Education Program 

Delegates to the 1961 International 

Convention unanimously adopted 

the International Teacher Education 

program. Each recipient receives a 

$10,000 scholarship for her year of 

study in the United States. Alpha 

Delta Kappa has sponsored approximately 

200 students from more than 

40 countries. 

The program is directed to 

students whose major field of study 

is related to education. The scholarships 

are offered to master’s degree 

candidates. Funded by the more than 

1,400 A∆K chapters, the purposes of 

40 

this scholarship program are: 

• To promote better world 

understanding through the field of 

education. 

• To focus attention on the precepts 

which are the foundation of A∆K.

has helped me to better teach the struggling and the strong readers in my classroom.” 

Northwest Region’s Rosamond N. Vaughan, Washington Alpha Rho Chapter

2003-2005 ADK-ITE ScholAr SEndS UpdATE 

Former ADK-ITE scholar Alicia Jiménez-Rodríguez from Malaga, Spain, earned her 

master’s degree in intercultural communication from the University of Maryland-Baltimore 

County. She now lives in Malaga with her husband, Angel and two sons, Marcos 

and Jaime. She recently e-mailed an update to her Alpha Delta Kappa co-sponsors (Marti 

English, Maryland Epsilon Chapter and Millie Zipay, Maryland Kappa Chapter) and 

friends about her experience teaching 4-year-olds at an international school: 

“. . . I put into practice all the pieces of advice you gave me, the websites you recommended, 

and though the beginning was hard, eventually I felt like a fish swimming in water. 

What’s more, I loved it (it is not so different from teaching older children or adults, 

we all need motivation). . . . It was exciting to start having again that rewarding and 

fulfilling experience that teaching provides. All the knowledge you passed on to me and 

the experiences I had with you were so helpful. I can only say thanks to ADK. I realize 

how lucky I was to have had one of the best experiences in my life with you in Maryland. 

My experience as an ITE scholar is one that is proving to be immensely valuable not only 

professionally but also personally. I see now how most of you were combining being 

mothers and teachers, I remember some of the stories ADK sisters told me at a luncheon 

or a convention. I remember your enthusiasm, telling me teaching stories, and I can see that enthusiasm in myself not 

only as a teacher but also as a mother. I can only say that I love you for giving and sharing so much!”

In the book, 28 short stories illuminate Hidayah’s family experiences in Gedung Kuning, “The Yellow Mansion.” 

“Hidayah revisits her childhood home. She takes you beyond the gate guarded by stone eagles, through rooms with 

big mirrors and marble floors, and shares interesting anecdotes of growing up in Gedung Kuning. Gedung Kuning is not 

a mere residence but the legacy of a Malay family in Singapore.” (Singapore Heritage Society; Helang Books) 

Hidayah works as a media producer in the Educational Technology Division of the Singapore Ministry of Education.

“Sometimes when we try to think of presentations about world understanding, we think of faraway lands,” said Laura 

Beaton, Virginia Beta Chi Chapter, “but world understanding can happen anywhere people from 

different cultures meet and learn from each other.” 

Last fall, the chapter hosted a chat featuring Karen Tootelian and her book, “The Chief and I” 

(www.chiefandi.com). Based on Tootelian’s experiences caring for the 89-year-old chief of the Mattaponi 

Tribe, Webster Little Eagle Custalow, the book tells of the fight to preserve the Mattaponi as 

a pristine river and as a part of the tribe’s ancient culture. 

“The book started as a personal journal documenting Karen’s conversations and friendship 

with Webster, and evolved into a book that has meaning for anyone who has ever taken care of a 

loved one,” said Laura. 

Tootelian not only discovered some of the history and culture of the Mattaponi Indian Tribe, 

but also learned about the man who led them from 1977 until his death in 2003. Webster believed 

that you always show kindness to others, even through the trial of fighting to save his beloved Mattaponi 

River from the proposed King William Reservoir. The love of the river and appreciation of all 

that nature offers gave Webster and Tootelian a bond to form a strong friendship. 

“‘The Chief and I’ reveals the personal journey in which Karen explores her life, the impact 

Webster will continue to have on her and her involvement in the fight to save the Mattaponi River,” 

said Laura. “As our book talk concluded, Karen read some passages and poetry from her book to highlight the great 

compassion and deep friendship she shared with Webster. We are all reminded that showing kindness to others can melt 

away any boundary to our world understanding.”

At the chapter’s January meeting Fulbright scholar Kay Montross shared her experiences in

of her adventures, offering insights into the people, culture, schools and cities of Japan. Montross 

toured Tokyo, Kamakura and Hiroshima City, visiting schools, shrines and attending lectures. She 

stayed with a family who opened the doors of Japanese life and culture to her. She attended Shinto 

festivals, enjoyed Japanese cuisine and dressed in a traditional kimono. 

Montross is an assistant director at Providence Day School in Charlotte. Since returning from 

Japan, she has shared her experiences with students and teachers. She has created integrated lessons 

which involve many Japanese traditions including calligraphy and haiku. 

“Kay’s passion and enthusiasm about her experience was evident to all Zeta sisters as she

Virginia delTa ChapTer MeMber leads grandparenTs’ group 

“When Betty Ford tragically lost her daughter, she found herself helping to care for 

her grandson,” said fellow Virginia Delta Chapter member Sharon Austin. “With an everchanging 

21st century and the challenges it posed for raising children, Betty searched for a 

group of like-minded grandparents who also found themselves caring or helping to care for 

their grandchildren. At that time, little did Betty realize that she would be the inspiration 

and provide the leadership for the new grandparents’ group.” 


Immediate Past Chapter 

President Becky Hopkins 

and Mayor Jim Ireton 

Betty’s journey began at the local government level with County Senior Advocate Debbie Leidheiser. When Leidheiser 

informed Betty that no such grandparent organization existed and suggested that she start one, Betty accepted. Betty, 

Leidheiser and county resident Becky Brooke planned the new group throughout spring and summer 2009. 

The three found an appropriate meeting place with a meeting room for grandparents and space for child care. Betty 

met the first group of 18 on October 1, 2009. Since that time, the group has held regular monthly meetings on the first 

Thursday of each month. Betty seeks input from the grandparents in attendance to learn their needs. Meetings typically 

consist of discussion, help and occasional guest speakers. The group fills a need for grandparents who desire information 

and an understanding from others having the same experience. Almost two years after its inception, the group 

continues to meet and held its first celebration, a picnic, in June 2010.

Florida Fidelis rho Chapter 

Celebrates suCCess 

Florida Fidelis Rho Chapter, installed 

in 1992, continues to grow. At the first state 

convention after the chapter received its 

charter, it was named top chapter in Florida 

and has received the same designation at each successive 

state convention. In the Pearls of Achievement 

Award program, it has received six pearls for 

six years and seven pearls in the other 11 years. 

Members say one of the reasons for the chapter’s 

strength is the quality of the founding members, 

who “set amazing examples of dedication for 

those who have followed in their footsteps.” Each 

member is involved in the work of the committees 

and in raising funds for the annual $3,000 scholarship 

given to a rising junior or senior in education at 

a local university. 

One member said, “It is an honor to be a member 

of this chapter and we will continue to strive for 

excellence in the purposes of this organization.”

a member’s garden, attendance and profits have grown steadily. This year’s May production, “On Butterfly Wings,” drew 

170 guests and raised nearly $11,000. 

Planning starts the previous September. “It is a unifying effort that binds the women of Zeta together in a living 

circle of sisterhood,” said Tea Chairman JoAnn McDonald. “It is a collective effort but also features individual talent. 

Finally, it is a shared mission of giving to young students in need who will follow 

us into careers in education.” 

Because the butterfly is a universal symbol of change, empowering teachers to 

transform themselves and others, it was chosen for this year’s theme. The butterfly 

centerpieces were created by an advanced local high school art class. Members 

contribute handcrafted cards and heritage albums, charming teapots, a profusion 

of flowering plants, colorful wicker baskets cradling wine and household decorative 

items and an array of gift cards from popular restaurants and businesses. 

Through the generosity of patrons and after expenses are factored in, the 

proceeds are divided between Long Beach City College and California State

supplies for the Sunshine School in Children’s Hospital. 

To meet the growing pediatric health care needs in Alabama, Children’s Hospital has begun construction on a new 

$500 million facility, the Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children. The new facility will name one of the 12 playrooms/ 

classrooms for Alabama Alpha Delta Kappa.

The chapter began the 2009-2010 school year with a tour of St. Jude Children’s 

Research Hospital in Memphis and the homes that serve the families of children 

treated there. It was decided to provide supper and a craft table during February. 

Members volunteered to make a chicken dinner for 125. “The highlight of the night 

was working with the children to make Valentine boxes and Valentines to give to their 

families and doctors,” said Past Chapter President Cheryl Beene. 

The chapter also organized a team to participate in the Susan G. Komen Breast 

Cancer Awareness 5K Walk and the St. Jude/Grizzlies House 5K Walk.

The Homeless Children’s Education Fund (HCEF), a not-for-profit organization, was established 

to supplement federal funding for the educational needs of local homeless children. Sisters 

donated backpacks suitable for middle and high school students, and gathered to stuff school 

supplies into the 15 backpacks donated. It is the third year the Pittsburgh chapter has helped this 

organization.



West Virginia alpha theta Chapter MeMber Celebrates birthday 

West Virginia Alpha Theta Chapter sister Hazel Childress celebrated her 80th 

birthday in February 2010 with fellow educators at South Charleston High School 

where she taught math for 44 years. Highly respected for her teaching skills, Hazel 

is equally admired for her continued dedication to the school since her retirement, 

said South Charleston Principal Mike Arbogast. She volunteers in the finance department 

and occasionally fills in as a substitute teacher. 

alpha delta Kappa is good for your health! 

In July 2010, International Headquarters received a call from Immediate Past Michigan 

State President Jane Teska. Jane said she was watching Good Morning America 

that morning and Willard Scott was visiting with several people who were 100 years old. 

He asked them what they thought was a key to their longevity. The last woman was 

Verdie Jarrett, a 42-year member of Louisiana Alpha Theta Chapter, and she said Alpha 

Delta Kappa was why she was still around at 100. Congratulations, Verdie!

Virginia alpha rho Chapter MeMber Writes sister’s tribute 

Ruth Anne Troxell, Virginia Alpha Rho Chapter, and chapter honorary member 

Madeline MacNeil are biological sisters. Madeline is well known throughout the United States and Europe as a 

hammered dulcimer performer. She is also a best-selling author of mountain and hammer dulcimer books for Mel Bay 

Publications and has recorded numerous CDs. 

Recently Madeline was inspired to write a song, “Roads to Travel,” in tribute to Ruth Anne, who was retiring from 

A.S. Rhodes Elementary School in Front Royal, Virginia after 44 years. The inspiration came from two of Ruth Anne’s 

students. One was a teenage boy with Down Syndrome who wanted to spend his life doing meaningful work for others. 

Ruth Anne helped him overcome many obstacles and find work he truly enjoys. The other student wrote a letter to the 

editor about her third grade teacher, who read “Charlotte’s Web” to her class—voicing all the characters—and led to her 

love of reading and choosing to be a librarian. Ruth Anne was her teacher. 

Missouri gaMMa Chapter has “spring fling” 

This year Missouri Gamma Chapter’s annual “Spring Fling” was a trip 

to tour Alpha Delta Kappa International Headquarters in Kansas City. This 

was the culmination of the chapter’s 60th anniversary celebration. “Members 

enjoyed a very informative guided tour directed by Assistant Executive 

Administrator Laura C. Bourgeois,” said Chapter President Joy Richardson. 

“Highlights of the tour included the International Executive Board 

Room, the Heritage Room, the Agnes Shipman Robertson Social Room 

and meeting staff members. Gamma members left Headquarters with 

a much better understanding of the history of Alpha Delta Kappa and a 

greater appreciation for all who work there.” 

On the way home the group went on a walking tour of the Watkins 

Woolen Mill and State Park at Lawson, Missouri. Members toured the 

Watkins’ family home, learned how the mill operated and how fabric was 

made from wool by the family.

north Carolina fidelis pi Chapter Celebrates MeMber’s 95th birthday 

In May 2010, Mildred Bowman Roberts celebrated her 95th birthday with chapter sisters. A lifelong 

resident of North Carolina, she taught for 43 years and has been a member of Alpha Delta Kappa 

for 41 years. Mildred was “a petite powerhouse in the classroom,” said sister Ann Carr, and “she has 

endeared herself to generations of Burke County families.” 

Mildred graduated from Western Carolina College and taught first grade for one year, third grade 

for 14 years and second grade, her favorite, for the remainder of her career. Mildred joined Alpha 

Delta Kappa in 1969 and was a charter member of North Carolina Beta Kappa Chapter. She joined 

Fidelis Pi Chapter in 1991. 

Mildred “enjoys the company of her neighbors and many friends, attends chapter meetings when 

she can,” Anne said, “and remains the epitome of style, grace and perfection.”

Chapter Co-Presidents Janet Deardorff and Barbara Dykman are biological sisters. 

ADK membership is a family tradition, as their mother and great aunt were charter members 

of the chapter. Both sisters were invited to join by their mother; Barbara in 1978 

and Janet in 1993. Although both are officially retired, they are still involved in education. 

Barbara has been a contract literacy support specialist for the past six years in the Ypsilanti 

Public Schools while Janet volunteers at her granddaughter’s school. Their goals for the 

biennium include bringing their members closer together and increasing membership. 

The chapter also hosts ITE scholar Vicky Villari from Paraguay, who attends Eastern 

Michigan University.

New Hampshire Mu Chapter’s September 2009 meeting featured a pizza 

supper at a member’s home. Sisters brought desserts and salads while the pizza 

was ordered out. In October members celebrated Founders’ Day by sharing the 

history of ADK, the chapter’s work and the duties of all officers with five prospective 

members. The group also discussed Alpha Delta Kappa activities 

at the state/provincial/national level. Nashua ophthalmologist 

Dr. Sutherland was guest speaker at the November meeting. He 

described early intervention and recognition of sight disorders, 

explaining that many cases of suspected ADD and ADHD can be 

traced to weaknesses in seeing. He also discussed the impact of 

extensive television, computer screen and video game viewing on 

the development of myopia in children. In December the chapter 

held its annual potluck supper and Yankee Swap. In January 

four prospective new members were pledged and members made 

Valentine candy-grams for a local nursing home. Altruistic work 

continues with monthly donations of clothing, footwear, hygiene 

products, snacks and school supplies to the 13 area elementary and 

middle schools. Members also collect office supplies for the Child 

Advocacy Center which works with abused children and adults. 

Mother and daughter represent ohio sigMa Chapter 

During the past two years, chapter sisters Ruth Mueller and her daughter Joy Hollo 

have successfully led members to achieve record-setting altruistic programs and increased

Chapter members said they enjoyed 

digging in the dirt, making fresh flower 

baskets to decorate banquet tables at the 

2010 Washington State Convention with help 

from the local Sunnyside Nursery staff. The 

worrisome part was keeping the baskets 

fresh. Members said they learned the 

“number one rule for baskets: have a ‘thriller, 

filler and spiller.’”

the 2010 Virginia State 

Convention April 10. 

More than 400 members 

and guests were 

present for a song 

dedicated to soldiers 

and veterans, “Thank 

You, Solders!” 

Michael Souders, Tussing’s music teacher and 2010 Teacher of the Year for Colonial Heights Public Schools, wrote 

“Thank You, Soldiers!” with his wife Angela. Michael said he wanted to write a song that would be very sweet, from the 

students’ hearts, and felt the song would be a way to thank as many soldiers as possible. 

The students have received much recognition for their performance, including certificates from the Military Chaplains 

Association of the United States of America and Catholic War Veterans of the United States of America; radio segments 

all over the country; and television appearances on the local CBS News affiliate, which may be viewed on Youtube. 

com (“Thank You Soldiers on CBS News”), and on the local PBS station, which may be seen on http://ideastations.org/ 

currentsondemand (Virginia Currents, #1926). Michael and the students are also receiving letters and e-mails from all 

over the world, from active-duty soldiers, veterans and military families. 

“Thank You, Soldiers!” has been viewed more than a million times on Youtube and more than 2,000 schools and churches 

performed the song between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day 2010. Since writing “Thank You Soldiers!” Michael and 

Angela have written another song to pay tribute to emergency medical technicians, police and firefighters, “There’s A Hero 

On The Way - 9/11 Tribute.” Performed by Tussing’s third-fifth grade chorus, the song is also on Youtube.
