Please see the request below from TIME 2000 senior Amanda Lee. Please also remember about this contest when you are a teacher! Mrs. Weinman From: Amanda Lee [mailto:amandaweilee@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, March 27, 2017 10:29 AM To: Naomi Weinman Subject: Thank America's teachers voting contest Hi Ms. Weinman, One of the teachers at John Bowne has entered this voting contest to earn $2,500 for the school (or more specifically, the math department) Do you think that we could send out an email to ask the TIME students for their support and to vote for my teacher? This is the website that they need to go, then they click VOTE, and then search for Singh in the search bar. The name Manjot Singh from John Bowne should pop up. They input their email but it's important that they log into their emails to CONFIRM the vote, otherwise the vote won't count. https://www.farmers.com/thank-americas-teachers/vote-for-a-teacher/ Thank you, Amanda Lee

Dear TIME 2000 Students, As per the seminar agenda sent last week, the ALST is no longer required for certification. See below for the official announcement. Please remember that journal assignments are due tomorrow. Please also email me if you would like to present something you learned at LIMACON. Happy Spring! Naomi Weinman TIME2000/SEYS Queens College, CUNY | 65-30 Kissena Blvd | Queens, NY |11367 (w) 718-997-5377 | (f) 718 997 5173 TIME2000.qc.cuny.edu Re: Elimination of ALST for NYS Teacher Certification The Board of Regents voted to eliminate the ALST (Academic Literacy Skills Test) as part of the teacher certification requirements on March 13, 2017. Effective March 14, 2017, teacher certification candidates are no longer required to take or pass the ALST. The New York State Office of Teaching Initiatives has already updated the teacher certification website and will exempt the ALST in TEACH. Please share this information with your colleagues, staff, certification track students, and degree candidates. The Office of Teacher Certification will be updating the website and share additional information as it becomes available.
