2 Wednesday, December 8, 2010 | The Red a Black Graduates learn through teaching Program aims to reform educational system By MARIANA HEREDIA The Red & Buck She sat down after class with her student and read over the flash cards. Together they sounded out the words. She was teaching her student to read; however, her student was not a kindergartener. He was a ninth-grader. For two years, Kimberly Roholt, a University alumna and law student, worked as an English teacher in Henderson, N.C. She was a corps mem ber for Teach for America, a national organization that places recent college graduates in low-per forming schools to teach. “It is a reality check in terms of what the educa tion system is like in certain areas,” Roholt said. Roholt said she knew little about the deficien cies of the education system prior to participating in Teach for America. “My kids went to schools that did not have enough books. It was challenging,” she said. To participate in Teach for America, college graduates first fill out an online application, which includes a resume and cover letter. A week later, those who have advanced participate in a tele phone interview and then a daylong interview. After this process is finished, participants take the teacher certification test and take part in a five-week intensive teaching training program in order to prepare for the classroom. “Ninety percent of corps members have no background in education, so they go through real ly intense preparation,” Geales Goodwin, campus coordinator for Teach for America at the University, said. “We have been really well received. Most stu dents, when they hear about the problems in the education system, they recognize it is a huge prob lem. They want to do something to challenge these problems and change the reality.” Participants in the program receive an award to Peaws Before Swine 9 by Stcthah Past* / WHO V FCWPFO. \ |>y HAD \ UF£.THC WORtO. l.f ( PONT WAIT UP. ) rue ) THeume : it emaything.sonow t , H(CK IS \ MAN WHO'S / f NITH jHE JUST SPCNM HIS 1 //ffV / _ Athens'Only Local and m % I j| I [ Independent Frozen Yogurt Shop -X I 198 College Avc • 706 354.8351 I 1:30a-1 IpSun-Wed • I 1:30a-12aThu-Sat I ACROSS 1 for a king; regal 4 Fragment 9 Schnoz 13 Tax deferred accts. 15 Vestige 16 Wicked 17 Run off quickly 18 Car for Unser 19 Mountaintop 20 Poverty 22 Weapons 23 Gather leaves 24 Sick 26 Whole 29 Greek god of the sea 34 Bedspread 35 Yuletide vis itor 36 Cold cubes 37 Encourage 38 Michelin products 39 One-dish meal 40 Bit of sooty residue 41 Trousers i Previous puzzle’s solution B I °lnle MW rl' 1 0 1 el r RW G I L I 'Tb l ’.M ■ PEA iWv E N u]sWa FAB E N R aTgTeTdMd E|A l D END pvT RTsIIUoTLjiMTiTNTT £T |A D OBBcIaInId t]E[dJlMg A D ir e Die TTpBBT oInBMp E NIP fF R EIA ~kWg|N üBBs AIL T Y DEB A Sj E dMIt e[n £ R_ J_ £ O V e|rßT7 s]e p|s||l ACE v-m "l* H'l ■ Is!ua]tßs,nlolq|tMdlelnls twt 42 Deadly 43 Feeling of i 1 sluggish ness 45 Arson or theft 46 Goof 47 Beef or pork 48 Ambience 51 Coming into view 56 Decorative nail 57 Pace & canter 58 Tidy 60 Hardy cab bage 61 Group of eight 62 Roof edge 63 Get rid of Student Notes™ FOR FINALS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!

Courtesy Teach For America ▲ Alumnus Aaron Sayama participates in Teach for America, which places grads as teachers in low-performing schools. help pay for education expenses, and Teach for America covers training and certification costs. Nevertheless, Roholt did not find this to be the biggest reward the program offered. “I will say that I think that my kids did just as much if not more for me than I did for them,” she said. “I miss my kids. You refer to them always as your kids. They rely on you, and you remember you’re doing it for them." However, Roholt also said participants have to earn the satisfaction they receive from the pro gram. She said she had her “highest highs and lowest lows” while teaching in Henderson. “One of my students, my first week teaching, asked me, ’Who are you to tell me about my life and what my opportunities are?’” she said. “I had to think about that question. We are coming from different places, but even though our situations were different that didn’t mean he couldn’t suc ceed beyond what I did.” 31 Word of agreement 32 Pacific or Arctic 1 33 Recently 1 35 Warble 38 Spice rack jar 39 Cracker 41 Golf hole average 42 Appre- hension 44 Chaired, as a committee 45 Banquets 47 Coin machine by a parking space 48 Requests 49 “The Beehive State" JRLC 5040 KINS 2100 LEGL 2700 LEGL 4400 MARK 3000 MARK 4000 MARK 4100 MARK 4200 MARK 4250 MARK 4500 MARK 4600 MARS 1010 MARS 1020 MGMT 3000 MIBO 2500 MIBO 3500 MIST 2090 MSIT 3000 MUSI 2020 MUSI 2040 MUSI 2060 NMIX 2020 PBIO 1210 PBIO 1220 PHIL 1000 PHIL 1500 PHIL 2200 PHIL 2500 PHYS 1010 PHYS 1111 PHYS 1112 NEWS Dine from a lavish buffet in a festive collegial setting to the sounds of The Adagio String Quartet m . v at USA Food Services* Annual Luncheon Feasts Thursday, December 16 and Friday, December 17 Buffet served 11:00 am - 2:00 pm t* The Village Summit in Joe Frank Harris Commons $14.75 (includes tax) per person Complimentary parking at the East Campus Deck Ji Advance ticket purchase recommende For menu and tickets information go to: 1 www.uga.edu/foodservice/holiday ' Jfe| or call 706-583 0892 \ V j I- 'j' 1 ■ -'MMMBe i ' w j s&gjpjif f m \ \ / / 'MisSSfl ; v \ j y&g. v T j T ;; . |: ' v | 50 Bylaw 52 oneself; work steadi ly 53 Pocket bread 54 __ tide 55 Donated 59 Bill with Alexander Hamilton’s face POLS 1101 POUL 1010 PSYC 1101 PSYC 2101 PSYC 2980 PSYC 3230 PSYC 3980 PSYC 4200 PSYC 4220 REAL 4000 RELI 1001 RELI 1002 RELI 1003 RELI 1006 RMIN 4000 SOCI 1101 SOCI 2470 SPCM 1010 SPCM 2300 SPED 2000 STAT 2000 STAT 3000 TELE 3010 THEA 2000 TXMI 2000 Save gas, shuttle to class!

Williamson said they have iden tified a suspect in the book thefts, but are asking victims to aid in police investigations. “We know of one victim so far, but we need other people who have books stolen from them to come forward and give a written state ment,” Williamson said. A notice sent by University Police through Arch News Tuesday reported police had confirmed the theft of three books from three individuals in the Miller Learning Center on the same day. The majority of the suspected thefts took place in the MLC. Williamson said police believe the thief targeted students who left their textbooks unguarded. “Students will sometimes leave their books on tables and get cof fee or go to the bathroom,” he said. “[The suspect] was just going through then and grabbing books off of tables.” Williamson said police believe the thief later sold the stolen books. “We have 20 individual events that have occurred,” he said. Individuals with more informa tion can contact the University Police Department at 706-542-5813.
