IHS – More on the MissionBy Marilyn Curtis, Head Teacher

You’ll see it displayed in all our classrooms. It appears in all our publications. It’s embedded in our curriculum and has provided the theme for our fall opening assembly. Carefully crafted by the IHS staff with input from Site Council, it captures the spirit of what IHS is all about – the IHS mission statement:

CALLING ALL IHS ALUMNIIt's not too late to receive our IHS alumni newsletter. The next edition will come out in late April. We would like to reach as many IHS graduates as possible. You can go to our website at: http://schools.4j.lane.edu/ihs and print a copy of the alumni questionnaire and mail it back to us. We look forward to reconnecting with you.

As global citizens of Eugene International High School, we aspire to value diversity, ambiguity, and discovery – and to act with responsibility, integrity, and compassion.

What do the words of the IHS mission statement mean, though? The IHS mission statement begins with the recogni-tion that we are all global citizens. This is not a goal to work toward, but the starting point from which to pursue other values. The world is becoming increasingly interconnected, making our understanding of other languages and cultures all the more important – whether for purposes of national security, global economics, or personal enrichment. Our lives today are inextricably tied to developments taking place throughout the world.

The rest of the IHS mission statement centers on two re-lated values: that it is important to learn about the world and also to act within it. The staff thinks about this as a process of life-long learning where both teachers and students share in the discovery. We join together in find-ing out more about different people and places and, at the same time, exploring the commonalities that connect all of us as humans.

The word “ambiguity” sometimes confuses people. I of-ten am asked the question, “What does it mean to ‘value ambiguity’”? For the IHS staff, it means that we provide students with knowledge, but not answers. We help stu-dents understand that there are multiple perspectives – one person’s religion might be another person’s heresy. “Truth” can be elusive. Students should be taught to research thoroughly and weigh all information in coming to their own understandings. We want our students to become

critical thinkers with the skills and knowledge needed to approach the complexities of today’s world. These values are infused throughout the IHS curriculum and highlighted in courses such as Comparative Values and Belief Systems and Theory of Knowledge.

Knowing about the world isn’t enough, though. We also want our students to act responsibly within it – to act with “integrity” and “compassion.” As you read through this newsletter, you’ll see many of the ways that IHS students are already taking such action, both in the classroom and beyond. IHS provides rich opportunities for student in-volvement through activities such as the African Conference and the Eurasian Conference, and through extracurricular activities through student government and organizations such as Peace Club.

We are proud of all the many ways that IHS works to pro-vide students with a broad international education – one that informs them about the world and instills in them the critical thinking skills necessary to prosper within it. We are serious in our commitment to educating global citizens and continue to look for ways to improve our efforts. As always, our remarkable students make the endeavor a joyful process.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS

AND THE FRIENDSHIP FOUNDATION The University of Oregon Office of International Programs provide immigration and personal ad-vising to approx. 1200 international students each year. They also work closely with a local non-profit organization, Friendship Foundation for Interna-tional Students.

The Friendship Foundation is made up of volunteer community members from Eugene/Springfield who are interested in befriending an international student during their academic program at the UO. Volunteers can host an international student in their home for 3-5 days in the fall, or they can simply be matched with an international student (or spouse and children for those who bring their families) as an “international friend” or “conversation friend.” Interest, on the part of incoming international students, in the Friendship Foundation programs has increased over the past couple of years. As a result, the Friendship Foundation and Office of International Programs are seeking ways to reach new families and community members who might be interested in getting involved.

If you are interested you can check out the website on the Office of International Programs and specifically, the Friendship Foundation at: http://oip.uoregon.edu/ff/ or contact Becky Megerssa ,International Student Advisor , University of Oregon , Room 330 Oregon Hall, Eugene, OR 97403, phone 541-346-1436, fax 541-346-1232, becky@uoregon.edu, http://oip.uoregon.edu/.

Teachers Travel to North Carolina for Annual ISSA ConferenceIn February, six IHS teachers had the opportunity to attend the International Studies Schools Association (ISSA) annual conference, held in Raleigh, North Carolina. This is the third year IHS has sent teachers to the ISSA conference, and every year, those who participate are refreshed, renewed and reinvigorated regarding our mission as an alternative school providing an international education to all students. This year was no exception.

The conference lasted four days. We were treated to such varied sessions as Muslim diasporas, Singapore math-ematics, biogeochemistry, best practices from around the world, dual language models, videoconferencing, and the integration of civics issues into international studies. In addition, we got to hear keynote speakers such as Gillian Sorensen, senior advisor to the United Nations Founda-tion, and Marcus Mabry, Senior Editor and Chief of Correspondents, Newsweek Magazine. A most valuable aspect of this trip was connecting with other individuals from international studies schools to gather new ideas in curriculum and program management and to share our experiences.

This sharing was most helpful for the North Eugene Small Schools teachers who accompanied IHS teachers this year. Our group included math and science teachers as well as social studies and literature teachers; this lively mix encouraged interesting discussions on the topic of integration and collaboration.

In attending the conference, we are reminded that IHS continues to lead the field of international education by excellent example as a school dedicated to serving all students. Our model, our structure, our philosophy, and our curriculum, backed by the support and partnerships we enjoy within our community truly guarantee a world-class education.

What is the ISSA?ISSA is a national network of K-12 schools dedicated to improving students’ understanding of the world. The program is based at the Center for Teaching International Relations at the University of Denver’s Graduate School of International Studies. Our partnership with ISSA is invaluable as this organization is one of a handful providing schools and districts with curricular models, best practices, and consulting services to strengthen international education at our school.

ISSA NEWS

We are very excited to learn recently that Portland, Oregon is a top contender for next year’s conference! If this is the case, we will certainly take advantage of the close proximity—some of our own teachers may even present at the conference as others have in the past.

The Senior Project: An Achievement By The Senior Team

As second semester begins, IHS juniors begin the first leg of an extensive research essay which will culminate in a 4,000 word project. This achievement will be turned in with joyous celebration the Monday after Thanksgiving break of their senior year. Students begin by choosing any topic about which they are passionate. They also find a technical advisor from the community for assistance in crafting a research question and embarking on the research process; extensive exploration is necessary to generate a varied and scholarly bibliography.

While this paper is a required element of the International Baccalaureate program and in many IB schools is completed only by the IB Diploma candidates, IHS has chosen to re-quire it of all our seniors because we recognize the benefits for all students of tackling such a challenging academic essay. Year after year, former IHS students return to tell us how valuable the process has been in preparing them for college essay writing. Aside from college preparation, our hope is that students also gain confidence and practical skills as they conceive and execute this long-term project.

This year, over 300 seniors completed papers on topics ranging from affirmative action to anorexia, the Patriot Act to poetry. Each student was guided by a technical advisor and a team of teachers who coordinated the teaching of the elements of this project, from abstract to introduction to works cited. Along with feedback from the technical advisor, the essays were carefully read by a teacher who did a final assessment of the paper and then returned to the students, who then had a unique opportunity to receive detailed appraisal of their research and writing. This is a huge job for everyone involved, and one we know is worth all the effort involved.

So hats off to IHS seniors for tackling the senior project! Once again, you have made us proud.

Technical Advisors Needed!

Do you have an expertise in one or several areas of study? Do you want to understand the senior paper process better? Are you willing to spend time mentoring a high school student? Then, consider becom-ing a technical advisor!

Currently, technical advisors are needed in many different subject areas, across all four campuses. Please call your IHS campus today and lend your support to an IHS junior who is just beginning the research process!

STUDENT ACTIVITIES9th Grade African Celebration

Nearly 450 freshmen and their teachers from the four IHS campuses gathered for a day of festivities at the Lane County Fairgrounds on February 14th to celebrate the culmination of their study of Africa in IHS classes.

With African music in the background, IHS teachers dressed in African garb, African art decorating the walls, and a little imagination, the Wheeler Pavilion at the Lane County Fairgrounds was transformed into the general assembly of the African Union. Community groups set up booths around the building to raise student awareness on the genocide in Darfur and offer exchange and travel opportunities to Africa. IHS teachers provided booths for students to look at African art, African literature, dress up in African clothing, and play Mancala.

The day began with two informative sessions. The first session was a speech and video presentation given by the Friends of Kenyan Schools and Wildlife, based in Eugene. Students learned about efforts in Kenya to preserve wildlife habitat. Friends speakers also talked to students about efforts to support local village schools in Kenya. They ended their presentation with a film that showed footage of wildlife and schools that are supported by this group. The second informative session was given by IHS teacher Jennifer Diallo. She spoke about her experiences working with CARE and the Peace Corps in Chad and Cameroon. Ms. Diallo’s presentation on community work gave students several informative examples of how different groups from around the world work to improve communities in Africa. The final session of the morning simulated a meeting of the African Union. This meeting opened with students sitting together at tables representing their assigned countries.

Among issues discussed, debated, and voted on, were how to distribute financial resources and to ratify amendments to the African Union constitution. HIV/AIDS pre-vention and care was one of the main issues dis-cussed. Other top-ics: compulsory service for every African citizen, setting aside land for conservation and park use, and compulsory education for all African children through age 18. Each of these issues were discussed, debated, and then voted on by the general assembly. A break for lunch allowed informal interaction between students from the four campuses, and the sunny, if slightly chilly, day afforded the opportunity for some students to play frisbee and socialize outside. The afternoon program included a moving speech from South African author Mark Mathabane. He spoke about his experiences growing up in South Africa under the Apartheid regime. His talk also included a challenge to students to end human suffering around the world. For many students, the opportunity to hear Mr. Mathabane speak was the highlight of the day. Samba Ja, a local drum and dance troupe entertained and educated the crowd for the last hour of the day. Nearly everyone was actively involved (dancing), by the end of the group’s performance. Based on a variety of responses from students and staff alike, the conference was a huge success.

Mark Mathabane, author of Kaffir Boy, was a

guest speaker at the African Celebration

The celebration ended with an African inspired drumming perfor-mance by Samba Ja from Eugene

Congratulations to the following juniors at South who were winners in the Rosa Parks essay contest! They were awarded prizes at the Martin Luther King Celebration in January.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

MEETING OF GREAT MINDS By The 10th Grade Projects Team

Socrates. Queen Elizabeth I. Soon Lee. Charles Darwin. Henry Ford. Cleopatra. Rachel Car-son. All these famous folks and more sat down together on January 23 and 24 for a remarkable conversation – a Meeting of Great Minds. They introduced themselves, and then dove into debates about current events and timeless philosophical questions. As the culminating activity for sopho-more Projects class, this conference gave students the opportunity to “be” the famous people they studied and wrote about throughout the first se-mester. Michelangelo met Mandela; Eisenhower talked with Einstein and Edison; Isadora Duncan discussed art with Miles Davis. Galileo spoke

with Gandhi. They learned about themselves as well as other Great Minds in attendance, and most important, they explored the ambigu-ity of ageless questions. Across centuries, they discovered surprising connections and enduring disagreements in rousing roundtable discussions – and we’re pleased and proud of the enthusiastic participation of our sophomores in this Meeting of Great Minds!

STUDENTS TRAVEL TO EGYPT By Kyra Buckley, Churchill Senior

On the 17th of February twenty students, along with Deon Saraceno, Saskia Strauss, and Melodee Soczek, began their journey to Egypt. Over the course of ten days we visited Cairo, Memphis (the old capitol), the Pyramids at Giza, Aswan and Luxor. We saw amazing monuments like the Sphinx, the Pyramids, Aswan High Dam, the Temple of Philae, the West and East Bank of Luxor, the Cairo museum, the Hanging Church, and others.

For our entire IHS careers we have been exposed to in-ternational perspectives. Within the confines of Eugene, Oregon IHS students have explored global history, litera-ture, economics, geography, religions, and philosophies. To have the opportunity to apply the IHS philosophy on an international level was comparable to having four years of education condensed into those ten days. As we experienced an ancient culture, we put what we learned to use.

For me, the most life changing moments were, however, not in the temples or the monuments, but in the people and

the surrounding culture. The moments that changed my life were chanting aum inside of the Great Pyramid, dancing on the bank of the Nile to Nubian music, and talking to the locals in the marketplaces. Connecting to an ancient culture and the people involved allowed the skills I’ve learned in IHS and the life I’ve lived to transcend across the borders of Eugene, Oregon and out of the IHS hallways and into the international arena.
