YONGSAN GARRISON — “After parents, it’s the educators, teachers, administrators and staff who have the biggest influence on our children,” U.S. Forces Korea Commander, Gen. James D. Thurman said, at the sixth annual Department of Defense Dependent Schools awards and recognition ceremony, April 6.
Thurman recounted how the three most influential people in his life were his father, his scout master, and his high school football coach.According to Thurman, these people had the biggest impact in developing his values in serving the country and teaching him about becoming a good citizen. He thus emphasized the significance that each of the roles, filled by the 66 DoDDS Korea staff members being recognized that day, had.
“What you do every day is so important - it’s the most important thing we’ve got going on here on the peninsula, outside of defending this place,” Thurman said.
In the midst of an uncertain period, Thurman explained that it was especially important that the people who strongly influenced future generations were doing a good job in educating the younger members of the community. Thurman presented each of the 66 DoDDs Korea staff members with scrolls of appreciation, on behalf of USFK.
Staff members included teachers, counselors, secretaries, technicians, librarians and administrators.
Sixteen were recognized for serving DoDDs for over 20 years.
Some of the honorees had four decades of service.
Laurel Eisinger, principal of Daegu American School, who has served DoDDs for 30 years, said she had worked through multiple positions within DoDDs, including the district level, area level and administrative level.
Having invested a significant amount of time in the profession, Eisinger said, “I believe right from the bottom of my heart that effective educators help children to be the successful leaders of tomorrow.”
After being in the profession and meeting many other teachers, however, she said, “I don’t think there’s an educator that doesn’t take this job whose goal isn’t to make a difference.”
While Eisinger is convinced that effective educators are crucial for impacting future generations, she also stated that it’s not just the doing of educators.
Rather, she added, it is a task that is performed by the whole community.

They include options for video conferencing programs into their classroom, DocsTeach online resources and lesson plans, Learning Labs, field trip planning, and more during an Educators Open House at the National Archives in Washington, DC, on September 13, 2018.
A couple hundred makers, teachers and parents gathered at the 2nd Maker Educator Convening, held May 17 - 18, 2016, at The Crucible in Oakland, CA. This was my first conference as a maker art teacher, and it was a great way to connect with other educators and learn from each other.
We started with a visit of The Crucible, an amazing arts school that offers youth and adult classes in glass blowing, woodworking, jewelry, welding and more -- a great model for planning our own makerspaces ( thecrucible.org/ ) .
We then watched and discussed 'Most Likely to Succeed', an excellent documentary on education in the 21st century ( www.mltsfilm.org/ ). It shows examples of hands-on, project-based, student-driven and collaborative learning -- and how this new approach can help students find a sense of purpose and develop invaluable 'soft skills', not just technical skills.
The morning keynote by Nichole Pinkard was also very inspiring, as she presented her findings from the Digital Youth Network in Chicago, and led a discussion about deepening the impact of maker education by bridging learning frameworks.
We then got our hands dirty to map our maker educator network, using blinking LEDs, post-it notes and pipe cleaners to represent our various schools and makerspaces on a U.S. map -- which showed clearly that a majority of participants came from California.
We spent the rest of the day hearing lightning talks about maker ed, brainstorming ideas, sharing best practices and starting new collaborations. A very productive event!
Many thanks to the team at MakerEd.org for organizing this gathering. They do a fine job connecting teachers and resources, both at events like these and online: makered.org/

Abolitionist, Educator.
Harriet Nesmith Wilson, the youngest daughter of Samuel and Sally Nesmith Wilson, was born in New Hampshire and moved with her family to Hamilton County, Ohio. Her parents were abolitionist Presbyterian educators.
The Wilsons first lived in Reading before settling in College Hill. The move resulted because of harsh criticism from neighbors uncomfortable with their abolitionist view. They built a home of the Greek Revival Style in 1849 at 1502 Astor Place near Hamilton Pike and the colleges in College Hill.
The house immediately became a station on the Underground Railroad. Three of the Wilson children, Mary Jane, Harriet, and Joseph Gardner Wilson are well documented in their abolitionist efforts. The Wilson children aided many fugitive slaves, sometimes using thier home as a temporary hiding place. Joseph, a local college professor, was known to collect apparel from the families of his students which was used to disguise runaway fugitive slaves.
When the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was passed the Wilsons' station became difficult to maintain as their involvement had become well known and the College Hill route to freedom in the north all but ceased by 1852.
Harriet also became an educator, taught at the public schools for over thirty years and became principal of the first public school in College Hill from 1860-1871. (The school was known as the "Pig Eye" School because of an odd circular window near its entrance.)
Decades after the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, several elderly African-Americans returned to the home and asked to see the cellar where they had once hidden. The home was still inhabited by the Wilsons and their housekeeper, Christine Gramm, who was instantly recognized by those who had returned to visit.
In 1892 Harriet documented the neighborhood's Underground Railroad activities in extensive letter form and described her family's role in helping the escaped slaves.
She died in College Hill from senility when she was 95 years old.
