Ability School – the school in Englewood, NJ individualized approach to education is one of its main advantages. Teachers may concentrate on each student’s individual needs, interests, and strengths when class sizes are smaller. By receiving individualized attention, students are able to overcome academic obstacles and celebrate their accomplishments while gaining confidence at their own pace. Ability School cultivates a favorable attitude toward learning by adapting training to various learning styles. Pupils are urged to actively engage with the content, think critically, and ask questions—all of which foster independence and increase self-confidence.

More autobiography

...I've rambled here about my art series. I haven't written much more about my life, but there is so much more, so here I go again. I left off in my teens, circa 1965, wandering New York, sneaking off from my suburban New Jersey home to explore and wonder and wander. Finally I graduated high school. My mother scored me a job in Monticello, NJ, at Swinging Bridge Lodge. It was a fabulous summer, I had my first sex, my first love, my days were filled with waiting tables and learning how to water ski from beautiful boys who wanted into my pants, my nights bartending (I was only 17 but everyone ignored that). My hair pulled up, a fake braid down my back, strumming my guitar, sitting behind the bar, cigarette dangling from my lips, wailing out Buffy St Marie and Joan Baez, life was sweet. It was then, one glowing evening sitting on the back porch of the Marina Restaurant, listening to Phil and Fanny Hype, the owners, chatter from the kitchen, gazing out across the lake, I visualized myself in my 80's, looking back at a life filled with adventures, telling my tales, and I knew between now and then I had to fulfill that self-prophecy...live my life to its fullest; grab every token, follow every path that presented itself, never let an opportunity go by. That was the real beginning, the intent to life my life to its fullest.

The summer passed. I returned to my NJ suburban home. I already had sculptures and drawings in a gallery in Englewood, the only artist showing, but Sharon Cohen, the owner, was so supportive she had somehow convinced my parents to let me pursue my studies at the University of Hartford Art School. It was a disaster. I didn't know how to be a student, I didn't follow the rules, I didn't understand or even know the rules and my fuck-it-all attitude annoyed the professors. The following summer, counselling at some Jewish sleep-away camp in upstate New York, teaching little people how to water ski, I met a girl who talked me into quitting school and getting a job at Columbia U. I just did it. The next day I was driving back home, I shucked the camp, college, and other people's ideas of what I should be doing with my life and slid out of it like an old, ratty, worn-out coat. I started commuting to my job at Low Library at Columbia on 116th St in NY, renovated my brother's unused bedroom into an art studio, got a bunch of drawings accepted at the Marissa del Rey Gallery on Madison Avenue, and my new life was underway.

Life slid into perfection. The 60's in New York was filled with civil disobedience, marches and sit-ins against the Vietnam war spilled out from Low Library onto the campus. I started seeing a boy who edited an underground newspaper filled with anarchy and insurrection, his tiny apartment in the Village smelled of Brussel Sprouts and cat litter and pot. Coming home at 2am stinking of Mary J, stoned out of my mind, sitting at the piano, composing and flying high. Commuting daily to my mindless job, weekends painting, drawing, exploring art, showings at my 2 galleries.

Mom decided I was drifting. Hear this voice, slightly Jewish NY accent, saying "Hally, you need something to fall back on. I signed you up for Katherine Gibbs. Go, you need a real job." Mothers. Can't live with them, can't be born without them. What could I do? I didn't have an alternative, the ultimate was given. My brother was living in Englewood with his friend, Dan Hennessey (yeah, he wasn't born in Toronto, he was born in Demarest, NJ -- Hi Dan, give me a call sometime) but he wouldn't let me move in, so I was trapped.

So I learned typing and shorthand. I hated every minute of it until I met Cheryl Vernon. Kindred spirit, gorgeous face with a marring split lip, we wore huge hats (hats were a must have at Katie Gibbs), white kid gloves that turned black from subway soot, heals under 2", skirts below your knees. It's 1968. Beatles, Donovan, folk rock. At the end of class every day we put our shoes and hats in our lockers, we rolled up the waists of our skirts to show our thighs, we put on our hip-high white patent leather boots that were definitely meant for walking, see-through shirts, chocolate Nat Sherman's delicately held to our glossy painted lips, we sauntered down Fifth Avenue with the rest of the girlie brigade.

Need For Office Cleaning Service in Ridgewood and Englewood, NJ

A school is a busy area with hundreds of young kids running around through the day. Keeping the classrooms and the adjoining regions meticulously clean is hard work. Sure, a janitorial team can undertake the responsibility. The quality of work may lack finesse, with amateurs who deal with the task being ignorant of the standard rules of cleaning large areas. It is best to outsource this challenging job to a professional team with the requisite skills and experience for school cleaning service in Ridgewood and Englewood, NJ. While such a move is a trifle more expensive than hiring a janitor, the results are sure to be satisfactory with the following benefits ensured: ​ 1. Improved Learning- It is a proven fact that a clean school environment helps the students to learn much faster. Records have revealed that the rate of success for well-maintained schools that are kept scrupulously clean is much higher than unkempt ones and in a state of disarray. This makes it mandatory to keep the school premises clean, both inside the classrooms and outside. 2. Reduced absenteeism- A classroom, cafeteria, library, and laboratory that is cleaned meticulously and disinfected regularly thwarts the spread of germs to a large extent. This helps to control contamination by pathogens considerably as well. The students remain healthy and free of infection while attending school. Sick days become fewer; as a result, causing the students to concentrate on their studies to do well in examinations. 3. Fewer Allergies- An unclean school becomes a thriving ground for all kinds of germs, including allergens. The dust fills the air both within the classroom and in other confined areas. The airborne particles are quick to enter the body and trigger an allergic reaction. Pollen, mold spores, and dander may cause students to remain ill for the more significant part of the year. 4. Durability of Essentials- No school can function adequately without sourcing a few essentials. A good school needs to source stationery along with some traditional equipment that assists in teaching. Even something as simple as a blackboard or textbook may lose its sheen and efficacy when not cleaned for days. The school can save a tidy sum by cleaning the necessities and complex equipment such as computers and microscopes that do not need to be repaired every so often. 5. Good Habits- The school children appreciate the age-old saying that teaches them to remain clean 24X7. The young children will think twice before throwing trash on the school corridors or making a classroom mess. Observing the professionals at work and asking many questions about the purpose of cleaning and different methods satisfies their curiosity and enables them to understand the need. The students are sure to take care about making the school premises dirty after that. Productivity at the workplace remains at an all-time high when the management opts to outsource office cleaning services in Ridgewood and Englewood, NJ.

FUN FACTS:

nora penelope vitale was born in englewood, new jersey to your everyday ‘average’ italian ( they’re very proud of that part ) family ! when she’s not on campus, she still lives at home with her parents, grandparents, and little brother, and she doesn’t care if you judge her for it ! family means everything to her !

she’s the oldest of two – having a little brother named nate who means the absolute world to her ! legit, she would die for that boy !

nora actually grew up as quite the tomboy ! she has an undeniable love for skateboarding and video games, but don’t let that fool you, she’s also incredibly girly at times !

at the age of 9, nora started playing volleyball on a community rec team and she’s been obsessed ever since !

there’s not a year that’s gone by that nora hasn’t been playing volleyball.

she tried out for the university team her freshman year and became co-captain at the start of her junior year !

she’s a massive music junkie ! it’s her second favorite pastime ! there’s rarely a minute that goes by where she doesn’t have some kind of music playing - whether it’s out loud or through her air pods !

she’s actually got a very beautiful singing voice, though she didn’t believe people at first when they would tell her that !

when she was sixteen, she and two of her best friends got together and filmed a cover video for one of their favorites songs and decided to take a risk and post it to her youtube channel ! sure, it was a long stretch to post on a personal channel, but she was willing to experiment and see what people thought about it !

much to her surprise, the cover ended up going viral, and after a number of people suggesting they do it regularly, the trio decided to form an official band, naming themselves ‘chasing ghosts’ !

instead of posting their covers to her personal channel, nora created a youtube channel strictly for their band, and they began to post a cover a week to their channel ! as of today, their band’s youtube channel has just over 1m subscribers !

chasing ghosts turned out to be quite the hit around new jersey and often did sold out local gigs in and around the state !

chasing ghosts even had the chance to be a part of the 2017 warped tour lineup, which is something that nora will never forget !

nora’s main focus in life is her education and volleyball, but she and her band still find themselves messing around in the music world when she’s on break from school back home in new jersey !

nora’s other passion ? food. after all, how can someone who’s family is always cooking not be obsessed with food, right ? her favorite ? pasta, of course !

nora’s not the best cook in the world, but her nonna is doing her best to teach her everything she knows, and she’s definitely getting better !

bit of a random fact, but if she was going to be in that ‘cinnamon roll’ meme, she’d be the ‘looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you’ one ! nora’s super duper sweet and adorable, but is very blunt and outspoken ! don’t cross her unless you’re prepared to handle the aftermath of her wrath !

nora’s very much a people person ! she puts the ones she cares about above herself and will go above and beyond to make sure that her friends and family are taken care of and happy !

she’s also a massive empath ! other people’s emotions affect her greatly, even when she doesn’t want them to !

nora put her love for music and her desire for helping others together and is now working towards a music therapy major !

TLDR :

nora was born in new jersey and lives there with her family when she’s not on the ship. she’s a very proud italian who loves volleyball, food, video games, singing, family & helping people. she’s a tomboy most of the time, but she also has a bit of a girly side now and again. she started playing volleyball on a community rec team when she was 9 and has been playing every year since. she’s co-captain of the briar u women’s volleyball team. she has an incredibly popular youtube channel for her band, chasing ghosts, that she formed with two of her best friends when she was sixteen. chasing ghosts has performed a number of local gigs around new jersey. they even got to be a part of the 2017 warped tour line up. she’s slowly learning how to cook and will willingly feed anyone who’s open to trying her dishes. she’s basically the embodiment of the ‘looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you’ meme. she’s a total empath and goes out of her way to make sure the people she cares about are taken care of. she’s attending briar u to work towards a music therapy major.

individual prompt- Find fifty meaningful images on google maps street view; document process I took this prompt as an opportunity to go on a nostalgic walk through all the places that I remember that I have been-- from the hospital I was born at in IOWA City to Urbana, Illinois to my home in Sacramento, California to the brief period of living in Manhattan and to living in two towns in Bergen County.  All of these locations are meaningful to me because of the formative experiences and memories I have from them.

The hidden value of personal relationships for supporting educational change

Guest Author: Amy Cassata

Photo by: Jerry Cargill

It’s been nearly two months since our nation was first directed to work from home and exercise social distancing to decrease the spread of Covid-19.  Yet, while we have put physical distance between each another, the way we relate on a personal level is transforming. Ironically, in times of physical separation, the moment is ripe for nurturing one factor that research has shown drives change – personal relationships.

A recent Canadian public opinion survey suggests that many colleagues are indeed feeling closer to one another: 52% of respondents reported improved relationships with coworkers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Increased social interaction is also happening outside the workplace. Over the past month, numerous stories have documented rekindled connections among distant friends, extended family reunions, and strengthened connections between neighbors taking place now because people have the time and crave human connection.

We know from research that trusted human relationships provide tangible value to educational change efforts, particularly when it comes to diffusing new practices and enhancing learning and improvement [1, 2, 3]. For teachers, in particular, trusted relationships with colleagues can:

facilitate the development shared goals and understandings;

promote a sense of safety with experimentation without judgment;

provide opportunities for learning through exchange of information and expertise;

increase the likelihood that innovations will be spread beyond single classrooms; and

motivate individual action, even when it’s difficult.

The development and maintenance of close personal relationships is one of three basic psychological needs. Research has shown that environments that foster belongingness and connection with others can support individual engagement in and perceived value of activities, and in turn, promote sustained motivation in them [4]. Social encouragement makes trying new things psychologically safe, desirable to attempt, and achievable - especially if everyone is explicitly learning together and reaching for a common goal  [5, 6].

When it comes to change efforts, relationship factors are just as important as individual teacher characteristics and more technical aspects of reform. As educators are being asked to radically change how they plan, teach, assess, and work together in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, strong social supports are important now more than ever. However, with all their positive benefits, these collaborative behaviors aren’t typically measured or monitored, let alone rewarded, in educational settings [7].

Many working in education research may wonder where we might focus our energies as the nature of our work shifts. How can we best meet the needs of educators as they take extraordinary steps to ensure students receive continuity in academic and socio-emotional support? Our field may adjust in part by connecting on a personal level with our education partners and collaborators and encouraging our partners to do the same.  As time goes on, we might explore ways to work together to systematically study relationship changes so that we can better understand and capture their effects on teaching, learning, and instructional change.

Trusted relationships among colleagues don’t happen overnight – they require time, intentional effort, and ongoing interactions [8]. With “normal life” months away, the conditions are optimal to cultivate such interactions. While the future is uncertain, this historic period of social distancing will eventually be part of the past. When that time comes, and we inevitably slip back into our busy routines, we should not let ourselves forget the value of human connection to furthering our goal of educational improvement. Maybe, if we’re lucky, we will even see some unintended positive consequences from this very unusual social experiment.

In what ways have your professional and personal relationships changed during the Covid-19 pandemic?  Share your story with us at dandelionseedoutlier@gmail.com.

[drlisacuddy]

Master Post of my Lisa Cuddy’s timeline / portrayal for her main verse. More for my own reference and sanity, but good if you’re curious on more details and want to plot something!

February 18, 1968: Born to Arlene and Avraham Cuddy in Englewood, NJ.

April 1970: Younger sister, Julia, is born.

December 1980: Her father Avraham passes away in the hospital after an Addisonian crisis leads to hypotension and multiple organ failure.

Lisa decides to become a doctor after this, and later chooses endocrinology as her specialty.

1985: Lisa graduates high school, and is accepted into the University of Michigan for pre medicine in the fall. She moves out of her childhood home and lives on campus.

1987: Lisa meets Gregory House while he is working at the University bookstore and has been expelled from John’s Hopkins. The two end up seeing each other around campus often and going to a couple of the same parties. They eventually sleep together once for experimentations sake, but their relationship does not progress into romance, as Lisa is gay, and does not hold romantic feelings for him. He eventually leaves the University.

1989: Lisa graduates from University of Michigan in June. She is accepted into Icahn School Of Medicine at Mount Sinai (in New York) for her medical doctorate.

1990: Lisa begins at Icahn in the spring.

1994: Lisa graduates medical school second in her class in June, and begins her residency in Internal Medicine after passing her USMLE for the state of New Jersey (she decides to practice there after hearing that Princeton is expanding on their new Teaching Hospital, and that one of her old professors is on the Board there).

1997: Lisa begins her fellowship at Princeton Plainsboro in endocrinology. She also joins the Board, receiving endorsement from her previous Icahn professor in professional excellence and leadership.

In the summer, Gregory House winds up at PPtH with his girlfriend at the time, Stacy. After a series of previous doctors misdiagnose a muscle infarction in his leg, Lisa takes over the case, caring deeply for his wellbeing. Being fresh out of medical school and still in fellowship she is also an excellent doctor and thrives with innovative technique. She takes over the case. Together she and Stacy decide on the “middle ground” option for his leg, fearing he will die of the pain of muscle death. House leaves the hospital alive, but in chronic pain for the rest of his life.

1999: Lisa completes her fellowship and becomes Head Endocrinologist, albeit briefly— she is only one of two practicing in the area and in high demand.

In October, the current Dean retires and Lisa is offered the Chief of Medicine position after she successfully formulates a strategic budget plan that cuts administrative costs, utilizes a percentage of student tuitions and relies heavily on donations and presents it to the Board. Without her plan, a large amount of heads would have been cut. Lisa saves all jobs and does some re organization of heads. They are impressed with her reliable work ethic and cost effective strategies and when the current Dean retires, Lisa becomes the second youngest, first woman ever in the country to hold the position.

2000: As part of her plan to make the hospital more marketable and keen on innovative medicine, Lisa creates a diagnostics department for difficult cases and hires Gregory House as the head. She also offers enough budget to hire three reports. House accepts, as he is unable to find a job anywhere else, being too destructive and unethical.

2004-mid 2005: season 1 of the show. All events are canon for my portrayal of Lisa throughout, with the exception that she is a lesbian and only dates women.

2005: season 2. My portrayal of Lisa becomes canon divergent around episode 2x22 and 2x23. The remainder does not follow show canon, but uses elements loosely from it.

Lisa decides to undergo IVF in order to become pregnant in May. She chooses a donor and is set to begin fertility treatments when Dr. Allison Cameron overhears a phone conversation she is having with her sister about it.

Instead of Dr. House (as is in show canon) helping Lisa with the injections, she asks Allison Cameron, who accepts.

Lisa has three separate IVF implantations throughout the year and Allison continues to support and help her. The first two fail and never take. The third one succeeds and Lisa becomes pregnant in October of 2005. Unfortunately she miscarries at the beginning of December at 10 weeks.

Allison, being worried about her after she is missing from work for two days and has fallen out of touch, drives to her home. Lisa invites her inside and confesses to her what has happened. The two share a kiss, but Cameron does not stay.

2006: Lisa, having recovered and returning to work, falls out of touch with Allison for a few weeks, not knowing how to handle. She confesses to Wilson the kiss and she is encouraged to pursue her.

Allison approaches Lisa, expressing frustration at their sudden distance. Lisa responds by asking her out. The two begin dating.

2008: Allison and Lisa become engaged, and are married in September.

2010: Deciding to try again for a child, Lisa and Allison approach House and ask him to be a donor. He accepts, and Lisa undergoes IVF again. It is successful the first time this round.

Lisa gives birth to a son at the beginning of December. They name him Avraham, Avi for short, after Lisa’s father. She is 42.
