The Red & Black
Some students at J.J.
Harris Elementary School
will soon be celebrating
their 21st birthdays.
Asa part of their pro
gram, students in the
College of Education are
taking University classes
and preparing to become
student teachers at the
school.
J.J. Harris opened its
doors in August and
became the first profes
sional development school
in Clarke County. In the
professional development
model, a school works
closely with a university in
order to give university stu
dents an opportunity to
work with children in a
school setting, to provide
additional support to prac
ticing teachers and to ulti
mately improve student
performance.
“The idea is that it’s not
the University telling the
school what to do, but it’s
that schools and universi
ties work together," said
Janna Dresden, director of
the Office of School
Engagement. “Schools can
help us leam how to pre
pare teachers because
that’s where teachers will
go to work. And they can
share that responsibility
with us, so that we’re all
responsible for preparing
the next generation of
teachers.”
Years of planning went
into this project.
When Dresden was hired
to her position in 2007, she
began looking into the
model of a professional
development school
because the model had

Sean Crenshaw, SGA Attorney General,
said the change was made in an effort to
minimize the amount of paperwork need
ed to run for office.
“As long as people were complying with
set standards, it’s not necessary to know
where the money is coming from,”
Crenshaw said.
He said the main purpose of the SGA
Financial Disclosure Form is to monitor
campaign funds, not contributors.

never been tried in Clarke
County. In 2008 and the
beginning of 2009, adminis
trators from the College of
Education and the Clarke
County School District
began having meetings and
visiting a number of school
university partnerships.
After the University found
out anew elementary
school was being built, they
made a commitment with
the school to form a part
nership.
“All of this implies that
we knew exactly what it
was going to look like, but
of course, that’s not the
case,” Dresden said. “It’s an
evolving process of figuring
out what is the best way for
us to work together.”
University students take
a science methods class
and an early childhood
methods class at the
school. Students are now
working to create science
learning centers in their
classrooms.
“What we’re doing is
providing a more support
ive transition from the the
ory of our classroom to the
practice of being a teach
er,” Dresden said. “We are
also hopefully providing
interesting experiences for
the children, like hands-on
science lessons.”
Lindsey Kemp, a junior
early childhood education
major from Johns Creek,
said that after having a
theoretical discussion in
her childhood methods
class, she was able to later
observe how a teacher
taught “Writer’s Workshop”
to her class.
“When we are at J.J.
Harris and we discuss
something in class, we can
actually go to a different
you're getting your money from, is what is
important to the committee," he said.
But Alfred Richardson, who ran for
SGA treasurer with the Remix Party,
which lost the 2009-2010 election, said he
isn’t too sure about the change.
He said by losing the requirement to
disclose where funds came from, candi
dates could contribute to their own cam
paigns.
He also said candidates' parents and
friends could make contributions without
anyone knowing.
“I feel like by not knowing exact fig
ures, it makes it hard to know where the
money is coming from,” he said.
classroom to see what we
are talking about,” Kemp
said. “But if you’re Just in
Aderhold, you can only talk
about the theory more than
actually seeing it happen.”
Xemona Thomas, prin
cipal of J.J. Harris, said
University students gain
valuable real-life experi
ence among the kids in the
school.
“They’re able to come
into the classroom and do
activities with students,”
Thomas said. “They’re also
providing orie-on-one tutor
ing and support for stu
dents and also participat
ing in special activities. So,
they have an opportunity to
interact with our students
before they go on to a stu
dent-teaching level.”
Thomas said there isn’t
much feedback about the
program yet because the
school has only operated
for a little more than a
semester. But she said the
elementary school’s par
ents have been made aware
of the benefits the program
offers for their children.
“Our parent group is not
really into ail of the specif
ics and the politics of how
it works,” Thomas said.
“What it means to them is
that there are extra people
to help their kids succeed,
and that’s what’s impor
tant to a parent.”
Like Thomas, Dresden
said she has faith in the
future of the partnership.
“I guess my ultimate
goal is for the lines between
what UGA is and what the
school is to become really
blurry and that we work as
this large community to
figure out how to provide
good experiences for every
body,” Dresden said.
