Librarians Renata Gibson, Nancy Kaida and Linda
Reeves will present “On the Same
Page: Librarian/Faculty Collaboration”
at the District 10 Texas Library Association
annual conference to be held October 6, 2007
at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
NVC adjunct faculty Ruth Luna
became certified as a Laughter Yoga Instructor
in Dallas recently. Laughter Yoga is
an exercise program using simulated or real laughter
and gentle yoga breathing. It relieves
stress, strengthens the immune system, controls
blood pressure, and has many other benefits. It
was developed in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria,
a medical physician in India, and his wife Madhuri,
a yoga instructor. It is practiced
in over 40 countries.

Dr.
Ellen Marshall, professor in the department
of Early Childhood Studies at San Antonio College,
recently completed a year-long professional development
project funded by the Overseas Schools Advisory
Council - Office of Overseas Schools – U.S.
Department of State. The program, called
"Mano a Mano," was administered by the
Association of American Schools of Central America,
Colombia, Caribbean, and Mexico. Dr. Marshall
co-directed the project with Dr. Cathy McAuliffe-Dickerson,
formerly of SAC and now with Northwest Arkansas
Community College. They worked with a group
of 20 early childhood teachers representing 12
international schools and seven countries. The
project equips early childhood teachers with:
• Current information for best
practices in early childhood education
•
Skills enabling them to make changes in their
respective programs
• Skills to mentor
other early childhood personnel
This was funded as a special merit project following
the success of the first "Mano a Mano"
project funded in 2004.
