This program is centered around teachers who would like to see what colleagues are doing in other classrooms, be observed, and, if wanted, share tips, techniques and ideas for effectively communicating lessons. Development generated from the idea that teacher visits and occasional feedback may benefit junior staff but has since been broadened with a growing interest from year-round teachers who are looking for communication between classes and desiring a chance to sit in on other subjects of interest, as opposed to remaining within assigned courses. "The principal idea is that most teachers at UW-Parkside are very committed to excellence in student learning, and we could serve as sounding boards and inspiration for each other," stated Beth Gronholm in a newsletter for faculty and staff regarding the development of PVP. This is the first time TLC has offered this program in its several years on UW-Parkside's campus, and, with already about a dozen participants. they hopes to "eventually expand to provide documented observations that could beincluded inpromotion and tenure dossiers asanaugmentation to the student evaluation forms." stated Gronholm. "This way, teachers will have a chance· to ask, 'What works in your class?' and we will be able to build support networks," said Christine Evans, the department chair of Geosciences. "We would like to foster conversation about good teaching at Parkside." Teachers will not only improve effectiveness of class but the academic excellence of UW- Parkside srodents as well. The Peer Visitor Program will begin at the start of next semester, with TLC coordinating teacher's requests for either a visitor to observe them or for the opportunity to observe another teacher. They are currentl y beginning to compile class schedules for interested staff. ativePride PageS SPORTS Winter Wrestling Preview Page 10 Boss Koss Talks With News Edilor's note: Afew hours prior to sending the paper 10 press, The Ranger News was ahle to contact PSGA Chief of Staff Yang AYang to get an official PSGA response to the reports that appear ir\Ihis issue. While Yang was unable to be interviewed, he did call PSGA President Dave Koss, who phoned in to The Ranger News' headquarters and was willing to be interviewed hy executive editor Nicholas Michael Ravnikar. What foilows is their conversation, minimally edited for clarity and to avoid redundancy where appropriate. seceose of space considerations and press deadlines, this interview was broken into two parts. Tthe second of which willappear onDecember 13. ARTS& CUlTURE done. Yeah, that's true. student government does do a lot of stuff behind the scenes and sometimes it isn't easy to see. However, I'm trying to change that. I think we've done well with [the] Women's Issue committee this year, Zara's had Love Your Body Day she's had a couple other programs, obviously she had Women in Power Week. Also a lot of the stuff that we are doing is going to come through a little more clearly second semester, Leg.[islative] Day, bringing Paul Ryan to campus, hopefully bringing the governor to campus. the Economics Summit. Jose will be having another den night some more diversity sroff. [... ] One of me things we struggle with, is trying to show the srodent body what we accually do. That's [not] necessarily all that easy and I can understand why they are skeptical, because of the reputation student government has had in me past. First of all, a lot of what PSGA does is not evident directly to the students, a lot of what we do is governance stuff that's behind the scenes: appointing students to committees, making sure they go to committees, for shared governance [and] for faculty. And we've acroally done a better job at mat this year than in years past. I think for me first time the secretflry of the faculty, Walter, complimented Chris and I on having every committee filled. A lot of me omer behind the scenes stuff is making sure that the academic policies are going well, that I'm going to faculty senate, that we're going to budget briefing meetings, that we're sitti.ng in on UPC [University Plaruring Council, the chancellor's committee that is bandling the planning for me university in the next ten years]. To fulfill the student's role that way. So I can understand when a ,cudent comes up and says 'well, I really haven't seen anything that srodent government has Ravnikar: How much nf the budget PSGA has directed towards programming? How do you feel stipends fit into that? Koss: First let me say, the letter came off as harsh only to put the point across about organizations, fulfilling their needs, or fulfilling the roles they were designed to do. I don't necessarily feel super angry or anyming like that about what an organization has done .this year I just wanted to put the point across strongly so that organization just got the idea. Its not, in my opinion, going to be reduced or anything like mat because of any single program that has been done or hasn't been done. This is just to encourage organizations that haven't done as much this year that maybe they have in years past to think about doing some of that stuff. Wbat bas PSGA done tbis year to represent study body's interest? 2 The Ranger News December 6, 2005 Letter From The Editor So here is what I am currently dealing with: a letter from Dave Koss, student government president, stating that r am going tohave to stand before him and a few otber "qualified people" and explain how The Ranger News meets the requirements to be considered a major status organization. Ordinarily, r wouldn't have a problem explaining the importance of the media in a community or society. But I find the initiative by Kess to be extremely hypocritical and even offensive. I'm appalled, really, to say the least. "All of us need to remember that our mission is to serve the students of Parkside," Koss stated in the letter, expressing that he is "severely disappointed" in student organizations so far this year, Because Koss has the audacity to express his disappointment in other organizations, I'm going to step out on a limb and express my severe disappointment in the leaders of the Parkside Student Government Association. The big, end-of-the-semester resolution introduced last week was our student government's attempt to give themselves honor cords for graduation. The resolution basically said anyone who has been in student government for two years deserves honor cords. It will be voted on this Friday, which will be the final meeting of the semester for student government. Our student government claims to serve the students, so how does this resolution do that at all? In fact, how has our student government done more than any other organization to serve the students this semester? I'm the editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, and I have no idea. Maybe I would have an answer for those questions if the leaders of student government didn't refuse to talk to our reporters. Maybe I would know more if student government gave us meeting minutes and resolutions that are proposed, or at least if they gave these things to us wben.one of our staff members ask for it. And maybe I would know more if we received the reports from all the trips our student government takes to go to United Council meetings that we are supposed to get. We get next to nothing as far as cooperation from PSGA, despite all their talk about working together. Besides the fact that the proposed resolution would totally demean students who bave actually earned honor cords through academic excellence, PSGA is doing a disservice to the community by bringing up resolutions like this instead of tackling real issues. I feel sorry for the members of student government who really are there to serve the community, because instead they have to deal with all this "We are the voice of the students" hullabaloo and rhetoric. Student government has no obligation to stand in front of a committee of "qualified people" for an examination of their status. Instead, it's on the student body to elect or not elect senators and a president and vice president. These people will make decisions for 5,000 students, when less than 400 students vote for any of them, and less than 500 vote at all. But it-wouldn't matter if only 50 students voted, because these people would still be "elected by the student body." So, this is the system we live in. That's why I'm proud to work in the industry I do. The newspaper provides a legitimate service, clearly spelled out in our mission statement, and it is that we strive to inform, educate, and engage the community on a weekly basis. My only hope is that after all this, more students take an active interest in student government and campus politics - making it what they think it should be. In the mean time, I certainly encourage Koss to get a breath of fresh air. It seems to me that, unfortunately, the only educational value members of our student 12 government are getting is learning how to avoid the press and mis-serve their 1f; constituency. Perfect for politicians, I suppose, but not at all close to the proper ~_..<j~-77 progress people should expect from them. - Henry D.
