New Findings on Concussion in Football’s Youngest Players

Newswise — New research from Seattle Children’s Research Institute and UW Medicine’s Sports Health and Safety Institute found concussion rates among football players ages 5-14 were higher than previously reported, with five out of every 100 youth, or 5%, sustaining a football-related concussion each season.

Published in The Journal of Pediatrics, the study summarizes the research team’s key findings from data collected during two, 10-week fall seasons in partnership with the Northwest Junior Football League (NJFL). Licensed athletic trainers from Seattle Children’s treated and recorded concussion from the sidelines at NJFL games to allow researchers to characterize concussions in this age group – from how often players sustained a head injury to factors that influenced their risk of injury.

GUEST OPINION: IT’S TIME TO ADD VALUE TO NEW JERSEY TEACHER EVALUATIONS

JOHN KELLMAYER | NOVEMBER 15, 2018

 

The current system of evaluating teachers in the Garden State all but ignores an extremely important, if controversial, tool 

I was a New Jersey school principal and district superintendent for more than 25 years. I estimate that I did more than 2,000 formal teacher observations. The process by which New Jersey teachers are evaluated has changed dramatically in the last several years. However, this process is seriously flawed and occasionally has been politically motivated.

A recent report by the New Teacher Project that examined the performance of thousands of teachers and administrators in 12 districts and four states found that less than 1 percent received an unsatisfactory rating. Former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan sarcastically remarked, “Today in our country 99 percent of our teachers are above average.”

TOM GOLDSCHMIDT-TEACHER EXTRAORDINARE

by Gus Danks | GCHS Alumnus Class of '63

(reprinted from The Maryan 1963 yearbook)

 

Tom was my English teacher at Gloucester Catholic High School in South Jersey fifty-five years ago. He died last week at the age of eighty-one. He graduated first in his class at Villanova many years ago and came back for a few years to his former high school to teach us and to serve as an excellent role model.

I told Tom on a few occasions that he was the best teacher I ever had - in high school or in college. He was an excellent lecturer and an elevating presence to students like me, who surely were in need of some elevation. He continued in teaching for many years at Moorestown High School before moving into the real estate industry.

On January 25, 2018 City Council adopted resolution R#027-2018 directing the Planning Board to conduct an "Area in Need of Redevelopment" study. The area to be studied as directed in the Resolution is bounded by the Delaware River to the west, Somerset Street and Monmouth Street to the north, Washington Avenue to the east and Powell Street to the south.

Childhood Cancer Awareness

September was Childhood Cancer Awareness month.  Gloucester City High School honored Cassidy Voll, a Junior and cancer survivor during halftime of the GHS vs. New Egypt football game.  She was accompanied by her family.

Throughout the past few weeks under the guidance of our Nurse, Mrs. Stewart, Cassidy and her GHS classmates coordinated multiple fundraisers to raise awareness for this powerful & important cause.  Mr. Gorman proudly communicated "that the Gloucester City High School community collectively raised well over $1,000 that will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Cassidy's honor. 

CHOP provided excellent care to Cassidy  as she was diagnosed with Leukemia in the 6th grade.  That diagnosis led her to endure 5 rounds of chemotherapy.  She is now in remission but has been further challenged by results of the chemotherapy which have required her to have bilateral hip replacements and stem cell transplants.  Most recently, Cassidy braved through ankle replacements as physicians worried in the spring of 2017 that she may be facing lower leg amputations.  To say that Cassidy is the definition of "lionhearted" would be an understatement.  We are infinitely proud of Cassidy and endlessly grateful for the difference that she makes at Gloucester High School each day."

Cassidy released balloons in memory of children who lost their battle to cancer.

Letters to the Editor: Why I Opted Out of the NJEA

Dear Friend,

Last month I decided to opt out of the NJEA. I did so because I felt it was the only way my voice could be heard.

I am a good teacher, who passionately believes in public education and supporting public school teachers at all costs. I support my local union - the Monmouth County Education Association - which has used their very tiny slice of the union dues pie to educate and empower their membership through in-service training, terrific workshops and community outreach programs. The Monmouth County Education Association does so much with so little and uses its meager allotment to do good for its members.

I wish this was also the case for our NJEA state leadership - but frankly, it is not.

9 Tips for Surviving Life as a Working Parent

 

(CNBNewsnet)(August 23, 2018)--It goes without saying that being a working parent is extremely challenging; long gone are the days when you could just get home from work, throw on some comfortable clothes, and relax in front of the television with a glass of wine. Nowadays, you are somehow expected to balance doing well in your career, and spending enough quality time with your family when you get home, all while fighting off exhaustion and running a household. Finding ways to fit in everything that you need to do into each day can seem like an impossibility, but luckily there are some things that you can do to make the task of balancing work and home life a little bit easier to manage; here are nine simple tips to help you survive life as a working parent.

Make lists

As a working parent, your to-do list is second to none, and with a million different tasks running about your mind at full speed you are bound to forget things from time to time (usually the most important things). Therefore, one of the best things you can do for your own peace of mind is to write everything down. Carry a small diary or notebook around with you in your bag, so that whenever something new pops up that you don’t want to forget, you can jot it down in your book. Then, when you get home, make sure to add all the items from the day into an organized to-do list (preferably prioritized), and cross of items when you complete them so that you don’t get confused.
