Ward G, Tyler Duce - What strengths and experience can you contribute? - Duration: 0:44.
Having grown up in a family of teachers,
and having being able to experience
first hand the difficulties and the successes
of public education, as well as having done humanitarian work
in having taught English and Spanish,
I've really been able to see the human impact
of low educational outcomes on society, families,
but especially on our children.
I understand personally, and I've seen
and I felt the importance and the urgency of getting back
to the fundamentals of education.
And that's what I will do.
I will focus on the fundamentals of education here in Alberta
and specifically in Edmonton.
-------------------------------------------
Ward G, Tyler Duce - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 1:28.
So the first great challenge we have here in Edmonton
is focusing on the fundamentals of education.
Our math scores have been in decline for years,
and we need to focus on why we send our kids to school
and focus on those fundamentals-- math, science,
literacy, and the arts and not on pushing political ideology
or fads in the school system.
I believe that, first and foremost, all school board
activity, and energy, and efforts need
to focus on those fundamentals.
Second is fiscal responsibility.
We need to ensure that every tax dollar that
goes into our school system is optimized to producing world
class educational outcomes and not being wasted,
for example, on the carbon tax.
I don't think it makes any sense to give money to the school
boards just to take it right back,
and it's costing Alberta schools $30 million
by the end of next school year.
That's money that needs to go back
into the classroom to help our kids learn the fundamentals.
And lastly is always putting families first in education.
Ensuring that the greatest support system
and network that student has is always close by.
No one cares and loves for their children more than parents do,
so let's not do anything that will ever
drive a wedge between caring, loving
parents and their children.
-------------------------------------------
Ward G, Tyler Duce - How will you advance your goals for the next three years? - Duration: 0:33.
As trustee, I will always take a principled stance
on every issue and every motion put forward to the board.
I will make sure that, first and foremost,
all of our efforts and time and energy
are focused on providing world class
outcomes in the fundamentals of education,
in taking care of every taxpayer dollar that we have.
And I'm putting families first in education.
I will always take that principled stance.
-------------------------------------------
Ward G, Bridget Stirling - Why do you want to be a trustee? - Duration: 0:53.
About 10 years ago I made a decision in my life
that I was going to devote my life to community service,
whether that was through my job, or through my education,
or anything else that I was doing.
I wanted to focus my life around making life better for people
in my community, every day.
So, that led me to working in the nonprofit sector.
Then, working as a policy analyst on public health
policy, doing a master's degree in intercultural and
international communication.
And then to two years ago, running in the bi-election
and becoming a public school board trustee.
It's one of the best things I've ever done with my life.
There are few things better than getting up every day
and knowing that my work makes school and life, better
for kids and communities.
It's an incredibly rewarding job and I'd love to keep doing it.
-------------------------------------------
Ward G, Bridget Stirling - What strengths and experience can you contribute? - Duration: 1:51.
I think I have a couple of areas of strength
that are really important to bring to my work on the board.
First of all, I have a background in policy work.
I spent a few years working as a research analyst
both for a consulting firm in public health policy
and also working on some other community-related research
projects that have helped in foreign policy in our city,
including work on making women's lives better
in our community, lots of different areas of policy work.
And for the last year, I've chaired the policy committee
for Edmonton public schools, and I
had the opportunity to put forth some really great policy
work there.
I'm now a PhD student in education policy
at the University of Alberta I decided
to take that work to the next level
and go on and pursue a doctoral degree,
and that's been really important.
And I think those two pieces of my life
work together really well.
Second of all, I have a background in communications.
So I've worked as a communications professional
as a number of years--
over a number of years, and I think a really important skill
that comes from that is the ability
to reach out to speak to people in the community to listen
and then to communicate back.
A huge part of being a trustee is
accountability and relationship building with the community.
And I think I bring a strong ability to share my knowledge
and experience, listen to parents communicate
their concerns to my colleagues on the board,
and just really get out and relate to people.
Another strength I think I bring to this work
is leadership experience, so I've
spent time on the boards of nonprofit organizations.
I'm the founding member of the Child Friendly Housing
Coalition of Alberta, and I think
that experience in leadership is important
when you're asking for people to make a set policy
and direction for a school district
besides Edmonton public schools.
-------------------------------------------
Ward G, Bridget Stirling - How will you advance your goals for the next three years? - Duration: 1:00.
Well I think in the last term, on Edmonton Public School
board, we've had phenomenal relationships among us,
as trustees.
While we haven't always agreed with each other,
we've always treated each other with dignity and respect.
And I think that's a really important part of working
together on the board.
As one of nine votes, you can't have a solo agenda.
You have to be willing to be a team player,
and you have to be willing to work with other people
and collaborate to get work done.
It's really about building positive and strong
relationships with your colleagues on the board,
with the superintendent, with schools,
and with school communities, parents, and surrounding
neighborhoods.
As a trustee, you don't get anything
done unless you're somebody who can work with other people.
And I incredibly valuable those relationships
from the past term, and hope we can continue
to have a really functional and healthy school board
in Edmonton Public Schools.
-------------------------------------------
Ward G, Bridget Stirling - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 1:59.
Well, I think our first big challenge in Edmonton
is the rapid change in growth in education.
We are in a city that's rapidly growing.
We're expecting to have 100,000 kids in Edmonton public schools
this year.
We've opened 11 new schools this year alone, and more to come.
That kind of rapid growth is a real challenge to manage.
Along with that, we're seeing a policy context
in the provincial government that
is creating a lot of change for us as well, right?
We're seeing a new curriculum coming down
in the next few years, number of other new directions
around Bill One, things like that,
and that's created some challenges for us
in terms of responsiveness.
So I think it's really important for us to be ready to move,
communicating clearly with our provincial partners,
and also communicating back our needs as a district in terms
of support around those issues.
We need to be prepared for curriculum change,
we need to be prepared for the challenges that
come with growth.
The second piece is increasing classroom complexity.
So we have seen an increasingly diverse population in Edmonton.
We have more students with special needs in our classrooms
now, especially now that parents have the right to inclusion,
so that adds to the complexity of the classroom.
So I think we need to make sure that we are supporting that
through managing classroom sizes responsibly,
ensuring that teachers have professional development
support, and that we have aids in place.
The final piece is equity.
I think educational equity is a really key piece,
and that ties back to that classroom complexity.
We need to continue to fund for equity.
We need to ensure that every school has the resources
and tools it needs to support the students in the classroom,
and that teachers, again, are given
the resources and the education they
need to support that diversity of needs.

Ward H, Neda Asadi - Why do you want to be a trustee? - Duration: 0:40.
I decided to run for Edmonton public school trustee
because I am an avid advocate of public education.
I am a believer in the great work that they're doing,
but I am also aware of the existing
gaps within the system.
So I think I will bring in a specific set of knowledge
and experiences that is currently missing
within the board of trustee.
And I want to be part of the positive change
so that we can meet the needs of all of our learners
and address all the existing gaps.
-------------------------------------------
Ward H, Neda Asadi - What strengths and experience can you contribute? - Duration: 2:02.
Given my educational and personal experience,
I believe I bring in a new perspective
to Edmonton Board of Trustees.
In my personal life, I am a mother
of two school-aged children in new neighborhood.
And I can share a lot of issues that other parents also
go through.
And I understand their concerns as well.
My children had to face overcrowding in schools.
At times, they were sharing the space
at learning studio in center of the schools
for a long period of time.
At times, we had not been able to access programs of choice
or had difficulty accessing them due to transportation issues
or lack of space.
Also at times, we have witnessed difficulty
that teachers face in addressing the needs of all
of their students given the overcrowdedness
in their schools.
Also, I was a former student in Edmonton public school.
As part of my education, I was placed in ELL programming.
Currently, they have a large number of our students--
some stat says a quarter of our students
are in ELL programming.
And these are a group that are underrepresented or not really
recognized within the system.
So I can bring that kind of experience and knowledge
into the board as well.
Also professionally, I have a PhD in Educational Policy
Studies, and I have done a lot of work studying
different kinds of policies, how to implement them,
and what we can do to best meet the needs of all
of our learners.
So I believe given all my experiences, as a parent,
as an educator, and as a former student,
I can bring experience that is missing
and can complement the needed points of views
within the system.
-------------------------------------------
Ward H, Neda Asadi - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 2:10.
I believe most of the challenges we are currently facing within
the school system are interrelated and they cannot be
distinctively overcome.
For example, limited funding that we receive for education
creates overcrowdedness in classrooms.
And overcrowdedness, in turn, leads
to teachers not being able to meet
the needs of all of their students, and also students
not benefiting from their learning.
Meanwhile, there are many vulnerable groups of students
who are falling through the cracks and we cannot fund many
of the essential programming, such as early childhood
education.
So funding is prominent for schools and for programming.
But meanwhile, I'd like to challenge the incoming board,
as well as educational stakeholders, to think and see
if they can reimagine and redesign
the kind of schools and the communities that we want.
In the next related issues with classrooms
becoming larger and more diverse, now,
perhaps more than ever, it is crucial to meet
the demands of educational policies and practices
that we have in our schools.
Teachers need to deal with variety of students
and their demands and their shortcomings--
or not shortcomings--
to build their lessons based on students' lived experiences.
As an educator dealing with many pre-service students,
as well as teachers who are currently in service,
I know they have demanded educational training
and resources to meet all these demands.
Along the same lines, I want more representation
of our diverse group of students.
First nation students, students with disability,
students from different racial backgrounds,
and also students with gender and sexual minorities.
If we need to overcome all these biases to meet the needs of all
of her students.
-------------------------------------------
Ward H, Nathan Ip - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 1:58.
I think infrastructure continues to be a challenge, particularly
balancing the challenge of underutilized schools in some
of our mature neighborhoods with the lack of new schools
and growing neighborhoods.
And I think over this past term our board has really
been on the right track in addressing
this issue through replacement schools
and advocating for more funding, certainly for more new schools.
And as a member of the infrastructure committee
I'm really proud of some of the work
that I've done in advocating for more infrastructure funding.
I think we need to continue to align our capital planning
processes or to work on aligning our capital planning
processes with the city and the province
because oftentimes what we're finding right now
is that we're years behind in addressing our infrastructure
needs and communities are growing faster
than the city can build them.
The second issue that I think is really important
is addressing the complex needs in the classroom
and making sure that as trustees we
continue to advocate for more resources in the classroom
and make targeted investments so that we can address things
like student mental health and ensuring that all students are
well supported and feel included and welcomed
at our new schools.
I'm also really proud that during my term
I've been championing the concept of schools
as community hubs and the opportunity
and the concept of building a school differently
with wrap around services like health care centers, libraries,
and some other community amenities.
And while this is not completely within the mandate
of education, it's really important
that we as elected officials look at issues
from a holistic point of view.
And I've worked very closely with other orders of government
during this term to look at how we can actually work together
to deliver infrastructure that serves the entire community.
And I hope to be able to continue
that work in the next term.
-------------------------------------------
Ward H, Nathan Ip - What strengths and experience can you contribute? - Duration: 1:01.
I think I have demonstrated a track record of working
collaboratively with all orders of government
and different stakeholders.
I have really strong relationships
with [? MLAs, ?] community members.
And in this role to get anything done,
you really have to work with others
and understand how to navigate complex systems and balance
needs of different stakeholders to advocate effectively.
Parents and community members are important partners
in education and for me, I've done advocacy work
for a number of years.
Previous to becoming a trustee, I advocated for families
with children with developmental disabilities.
And this term as chair of the policy review committee
bring an understanding of how governance works
and how to navigate challenges through large and complex
situations.
And so, I really hope to be able to continue my work
to bring some of my experience into this next term.
-------------------------------------------
Ward H, Neda Asadi - How will you advance your goals for the next three years? - Duration: 1:04.
All my decisions on how to vote will
be guided based on best interests
of the child in its core, and also to ensure we
can expand equity of education.
In order to advance my goal, I will base my arguments
on research and lived experiences
of students and their parents.
I will explain how my interests and my goals
will benefit schools, students, and the community as a whole,
and also importantly how it will meet the educational goals
of 21st century.
I believe in the system.
The board of trustees work with it.
They challenge the ideas and the processes
to ensure the best ideas come out and the ideas progress
and enhance through the discussions.
-------------------------------------------
Ward H, Nathan Ip - How will you advance your goals for the next three years? - Duration: 0:53.
I think over the course of this last term
I've demonstrated that I take a collaborative approach.
And in my role as trustee, the reality is that we cannot work
in silos and so I really believe in building strong
relationships with my colleagues and frankly with all
stakeholders, with parents, with community members and to ensure
that they are being listened to and that their points of views
are being considered.
And that's my commitment, certainly, to my role
and I hope that I can play a part in bringing people
together because at the end of the day,
we're all here for the same goal and that's
the success of all kids.
And so, in order to achieve that goal,
we need to make sure that we all work together.

17 Year Old Pipe Bomb Murder Is Solved In The Most Unusual Way | Did You Know ? - Duration: 7:45.
seventeen-year-old pipe-bomb murder is solved in the most unusual way police
officers are trained to notice patterns of behavior among criminals if a felon
is at large police will often track them down based on crime scene evidence and
sometimes it can even take years before the pieces start coming together in 1989
a respected Alabama judge was killed in his home after he opened the seemingly
normal package that was actually a deadly pipe bomb when no one claimed
responsibility police assumed it was a random act of violence however one
expert noticed a strange similarity between this crime and one that had
occurred 17 years earlier that was when the entire mystery started to unravel
recognizing criminal patterns is something all police investigators are
taught to do most repeat felons will leave similar bits of evidence behind
and when they do police are able to piece the clues together to make an
arrest this is what happened in 1989 in the case of one Alabama judge's death at
first officers believed it was a random act of violence but then they started to
investigate deeper on December 16th 1989 respected Alabama Georgia but Vance
opened a package that was sent to his home in Mountain Brook Alabama it was
the size of a shoebox and unbeknownst to him it contained a pipe bomb he opened
it and the explosion killed him immediately it also seriously injured
his wife who was in the next room no one claimed responsibility for the attack
and there was no evidence suggesting that judge Vance was being targeted by
terrorists judge Vance was only the third judge ever to be assassinated in
the United States during the 20th century it was rare that judges ever
fell victim to crimes like this one although the police had very little
information to work with they suspected there may have been more at play than
they initially thought two days after the murder of judge Vance on December
18th a parcel sized package arrived at the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals in
downtown Atlanta it contained another pipe bomb surrounded by nails luckily
one of the guards on duty detected it using an x-ray machine
and authorities diffused it without a problem on the same afternoon
however yet another package was found and this one unfortunately wasn't
detected in time a 41 year old attorney named Robert Robinson opened the package
at his desk and the pipe bomb detonated blowing out the windows of his office
and critically wounding the attorney he died shortly after in the hospital
clearly something was afoot that same day a third mysterious package arrived
in Jacksonville Florida at the offices of the n-double a-c-p luckily it was
never opened and after the mail room attendant heard the stories of the other
two bombs on the news that evening she reported it to the police police
suspected the packages may have come from Colombian cartels since Judge Vance
was heavily involved with numerous drug cases similarly on the day that Robinson
died he was supposed to attend a community event on drug abuse
however Miami's Drug Enforcement Administration dismissed the accusation
because it didn't fit the pattern of cartels in the past police investigators
then started exploring the possibility that the assassinations were politically
motivated judge Vance had been active with the civil rights movement and was
even chairman of the Alabama Democrats which had included african-americans in
the state delegation for the first time ever Robinson also had strong ties to
the n-double-a-cp and had fought for years to abolish segregation in schools
in Savannah Georgia in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals he spent a majority of
his time helping the poorest neighborhoods in the city the political
ties between Judge Vance Robinson the n-double-a-cp and the 11th Circuit Court
of Appeals led investigators to believe that a white supremacist was possibly
behind the deadly packages a white supremacy group had even mailed a letter
to a Mississippi television station threatening the 11th circuit a few
months earlier an expert who defused one of the undetonated bombs quickly
debunked the white supremacy theory he noticed the bombs had a unique design
with four welded rods he approached the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and
Explosives and told them he had seen this exact design 17 years earlier
back in 1972 a Georgia resident named Walter Leroy Moody jr. nearly killed his
first wife with a similarly made explosive device that accidentally went
off in his home the intended target was supposed to be a car dealer who
repossessed Moody's vehicle Moody was sent to prison for four years for the
explosive accident when he was finally released he attempted to have his
conviction expunged by mounting an appeal to the courts in August 1989 only
a few months before the murders of Judge Vance and Robert Robinson the 11th court
rejected his appeal Moody's next plan of action was to
convince two women Julie Lynn West and her mother Susan Eckstrom to tell police
that the explosive had been placed in his home by someone else instead Lynn
West approached police with very crucial evidence Lynn West possessed multiple
audio and video recordings of meetings she had with Moody investigators also
found out that Moody's girlfriend a woman named Susan McBride assisted moody
by supplying him with the necessary packaging and postal materials things
were starting to rapidly take shape when police raided Moody's home index Georgia
they found even more evidence tying Moody to the killings and on November 7
1990 he was indicted for the murders of Judge Vance and Robinson the police
finally got their man during Moody's trial the prosecutors
argued that he'd sought revenge on the court system because they rejected his
appeal years earlier and he attempted to make his actions look like the work of a
white supremacist to throw off police assistant US attorney Louie free
described moody as a stealth bomber in his closing remarks to the court three
said he tried to anticipate everything in this case and he almost succeeded
moody was found guilty on all counts and was sent to prison for multiple life
terms he was eventually sentenced to death and
transport it to the Holmen Correctional Facility in Alabama in 1997 as of July
2017 at age 82 he was the oldest inmate awaiting execution judge Vance's
memories lives on in the judiciary system in 1990
a Federal Building and courthouse in Birmingham Alabama was renamed Robert s
Vance Federal Building and United States courthouse and Atlanta's chapter of the
Federal Bar Association hosts the Robert S Vance forum on the Bill of Rights
every year the murders of Judge Robert Vance and Robert Robinson shocked
everyone they were seen as an assault on the nation's most sacred institution
without a just judiciary system a nation can never prosper and without admirable
judges like Robert Vance neither will its people the fact that the police was
skilled enough to put together clues that are decades old to catch criminals
is incredible Moody would have surely gotten away with his crimes if it wasn't
for their hard work share this intriguing mystery with your
friends below
