Teachers, kids in two districts shine for state education boss
Acting Commissioner of Education Christopher Cerf donned 3-D glasses to view a third-grade art project at Hillside Elementary School, sat through a SMART board demonstration on creating poems and listened to the Tenakill Middle School band perform in a visit to the Closter school district on Tuesday.
Cerf was invited to the district by Superintendent Joanne Newberry, who had heard him speak at Bergen Community College in February.
"I told him if he wanted to see excellence in education, let me know," Newberry said this week, paraphrasing the e-mail she sent to the acting commissioner.
Cerf, who was nominated in December and is awaiting confirmation, accepted the invitation. He also stopped by the Tenafly school district on Tuesday.
The visit started at Hillside Elementary School, where Cerf watched elementary students put together the school's daily newscast. He also sat through a portion of a third-grade science class on how sound travels.
He was greeted at the middle school's entrance by the Student Council president and vice president. He listened to the band perform John Philip Sousa's "Semper Fidelis" and Robert W. Smith's "Encanto" before heading off to a math class. He also visited the school's annual art exhibit across the street at the Belskie Museum.
Newberry said this is the first time that she is aware of that an education commissioner — or acting education commissioner — had visited the district.
Cerf said he was impressed by what he saw: engaged students and creative teachers.
"You guys were great. That was so impressive," he told students who produced the newscast, a daily show that on Tuesday featured two bilingual puppets teaching Spanish words for animals, a sign-language lesson and an interview with a teacher.
He questioned teachers whether they had designed their curriculum.
'"I have this view that great teachers are craftsmen and women," he said. "It's a real gift to do it. It's not rote."
He also appeared particularly interested in the Northern Valley Schools Curriculum Center.
The center, which is based in Demarest and has been in existence for more than 25 years, provides professional development for the seven Northern Valley towns that send students to the Northern Valley Regional High School and for the district's two high schools, said Robert Price, the center's director of curriculum and instruction. The center also develops the curriculum for the seven towns.
Other municipalities also send teachers to the center for professional development, Price said.
Having one director of curriculum instruction for all the schools means that the districts are able to streamline instruction at the lower schools. Students have similar experiences, and teachers across the Northern Valley share teaching strategy and technology, Price said.
Cerf said he liked the idea.
Later in the afternoon, Cerf toured Tenafly High School, one of the highest-achieving districts in North Jersey. He expressed admiration as students read him their poems, showed off a robotic Lego car steered wirelessly by a computer program and performed a string-instruments concert.
Cerf asked teachers along the way how they used technology and how they were adapting to changing curriculum standards.
When math teacher Shane Johnson displayed the power of free software called Winplot, made available by a teacher at the private Phillips Exeter Academy, Cerf asked what could be done to help teachers share their best tips more easily.
"If you set aside time for teachers to convene more formally, this sharing is bound to happen," Johnson said.

Utah Bands - The Important Cultural Variations
Just as much as music itself varies, so do Utah bands. The Utah arena features nearly every sort of music you'll be able to envision. Utah bands performing John Phillip Sousa can be enjoyed during the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Veteran's Day celebrations. Songs that are culturally linked with victory, such as Rocky, will often be performed by a Utah band at a sports event. To honor the arrival of Mormons into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 Salt Lake City bands fiddle and pluck familiar pioneer songs every summer. No matter what style of rock music, including classic, hard, soft, metal, alternative, or punk, you'll find Utah bands that will specialize in that style. Utah is furthermore renowned for its rodeos where country music tunes are quite prevalent.
You'll find nearly every ethnicity and race represented with musical compositions by ethnic Utah bands. The warmth of the summer brings out the Polynesian dancers with their standard grass skirts, big drums and fire dancers. Hispanic musicians develop a Utah band identified as Mariachi. native american Utah bands typically play with hoop dancers. Oktoberfest occasions at all times bring out a Utah band that performs polka songs. Large corporate events almost always feature a Utah band performing refined jazz or some other style of standard music to dance to.
The reason why Utah bands have become so ever-present in the Beehive State's culture is because the experience of music touches an area of the mind and heart as does nothing else. One of life's more important events such as a funeral or marriage ceremony is difficult to envision with no music. Heightened events that are thrilling, fun, scary,, and heartwarming are increased by music. Turning down the volume to the music in a motion picture renders even the most beautiful camera work powerless. Even the deaf take part in the field of music by turning ordinary sign language into graceful, interpretive choreography.
Math, speech, and other subjects are seen in merely a single area of the human brain, but scientists have observed that musical sounds fire up a number of various areas. Whenever an individual experiences a stroke, making them powerless to speak, they'll now and then hang on to the capability to remember songs and sing lyrics and melodies as well as they ever could. Utah bands produce music with conviction, which in turn enhances life's quality. The live performance of particular Utah local bands brings a heightened enjoyment to the people living at senior centers and other convalescent homes. Whether they're Salt Lake bands or entertainers from various other locations, they perform a terrific benefit to their particular towns.
Local Utah wedding bands also add to the public in their very own way. There is something about a live music concert that can't be matched by a CD or soundtrack. Though current technology allows us to have tunes whenever we want it just can't compete with live music from exceptional Utah bands.
Can you find any reason why a person would hire a musical group from any other state while a Utah band is accessible? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. Who really knows? Is there any person who can answer that question? But there is one issue that is obvious. Utah has more fine music groups in comparison to any other state. Roughly one-fourth of every child in Utah grows up having a piano in their house, so maybe this reveals the reason. Utah educational institutions somehow discovered a way to keep the performing arts alive when arts and music budgets in the great majority of educational institutions around the nation were slashed. And just how did they accomplish the feat? They kept it vibrant by locating volunteers, sponsors, and by having fundraisers. Due to the fact that music is valued highly by people from Utah, Utah bands will go on being superior.
