County at White House Conference
Evelyn Berger, along with two other Mecklenburg County resi
dents, have been appointed by Governor Hunt to represent
Mecklenburg County at the upcoming White House Conference
on Aging. Berger is Chairperson of the C/M Council on Aging
and serves on the C/M Aging
Coalition. She is also a member

The first national confer
ence on aging was held in 1950.
In 1961 it became the official

the fourth Conference, the last

The main goal of the Con
ference is to develop recommen
dations on aging policy for the next decade. These
recommendation will have a tremendous impact on aging concerns
well beyond the year 2000. The results of the last Conference
(1981)contributed to the comprehensive Social Security Reform
amendments of 1983.

Making
Midrash
Through
Music and
Story
On February 12, 1995, the
Carolina Agency for Jewish Edu
cation (CAJE) will present two
workshops for the teachers of the
community’s Jewish schools en
titled “Making Midrash Through
Music and Story”. The workshops
will explore creative ways for
teachers to use Jewish music and
literature to enhance their students’
understanding of Jewish texts and
subjects.
Rabbi James Bennett of
Temple Beth El will present a pro
gram called “Music As Midrash”.
Teachers will learn how to incor
porate contemporary Jewish mu
sic as part of their classroom
teaching style. A sampler of cur
rent songs will be shared; teach
ers will be empowered to involve
their students in writing music;
strategies on how to use music will
be explored; and an opp>ortunity to
learn new songs and sing along
will be part of the interactive work
shop.
Dr. Jay Jacoby, Professor of
English at the UNCC and a teacher
trainer for the Char-Meek Public
Schools will present a workshop
called “Creating Midrash: Help
ing Srudents Make Meaning Out
Of Biblical and Other Jewish
Texts”. Teachers will learn how
to use Jewish literature, stories and
techniques to enhance teaching
Jewish texts, biblical texts and
other subjects. How to involve
students in interactive writing ex
periences will be stressed.
The workshops will be held at
Shalom Park and will begin with
a kosher dairy lunch at 12:30 p.m.
and will conclude at 3:00 p.m. To
register, or for more information,
please contact Lenora Stein at
CAJE, 366-5007 ext. 272.
Passe Has Textbook
Published
Jeff Passe, Associate Pro
fessor of Education in UNCC’s
Department of Curriculum and
Instruction, is the author of a new
book, entitled Elementary School
Curriculum. Published by Brown
& Benchmark, the new textbook
is designed for prospective el
ementary school teachers.
Passe’s book differs from
other textbooks by its descriptions
of how teachers can become effec
tive agents for curricular change.
He believes that too many good
teachers leave the profession in
frustration. By examining these
issues early in their training, good
teachers may be more likely to stay
in the classroom and fight for a bet-
tei curriculum.
Passe makes his ideas acces
sible to parents and other non
professionals. Some of his
examples include teachers at
Lansdowne Elementary School in
Charlotte.
