U.S. Copyright Office Fair Use Index Welcome to the U.S. Copyright Office Fair Use Index. This Fair Use Index is a project undertaken by the Office of the Register in support of the 2013 Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement of the Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (IPEC). Fair use is a longstanding and vital aspect of American copyright law.
The goal of the Index is to make the principles and application of fair use more accessible and understandable to the public by presenting a searchable database of court opinions, including by category and type of use (e.g., music, internet/digitization, parody). The Fair Use Index tracks a variety of judicial decisions to help both lawyers and non-lawyers better understand the types of uses courts have previously determined to be fair—or not fair.
The Fair Use Index is designed to be user-friendly. We hope you find the Fair Use Index a helpful resource. It’s all C.R.A.P.: Four Principles of Design | THINKblog. What a bunch of C.R.A.P.! There are four principles of design that we want you to get under your belt. If you’re a designer, you’ll know this stuff already. If you’re a programmer, you might not.

Standards. Education technology standards to transform learning and teaching The time for major change in education is now. In a world where rapid advances in technology have a profound impact on the ways we work, communicate and live, education has struggled to keep pace. The ISTE Standards work together to support educators, students and leaders with clear guidelines for the skills and knowledge necessary to move away from the factory model. These are not the typical boxes educators need to check. They provide a framework for rethinking education, adapting to a constantly changing technological landscape and preparing students to enter an increasingly global economy.
Empowering connected learners in a connected world As educators, we are preparing students for a future that we cannot yet imagine. Want to know more? How can the ISTE Standards be used?

'Not Worth It': Why NC College Students Are Turning Away From Teaching. UNC-Chapel Hill senior Jailen Wallis has always been tempted to become a high school English teacher. She's cutting across campus on her way to her work-study at the library. A literature junkie, she loves the idea of teaching young people to enjoy reading and writing as much as she does. But Wallis will graduate in May with degrees in sociology and English—not education. "Teaching in North Carolina right now is not worth it, unless you can’t imagine doing anything other than teaching," Wallis explained. Jess Clark reports on North Carolina's diminishing number of graduates pursuing teaching. Wallis’ mother is a teacher, and Wallis knows what challenges of the job are, and what the pay is.
"It’s not a job that you leave at the end of the day at 4 or 4:30 or 5 or 5:30, or whenever you finish with all your staff meetings," she said. Wallis is not the only student who feels that way about the profession. "There’s absolutely no incentive right now to go into it with your masters," Wallis said. Cutting master’s pay spells trouble for graduate programs, teachers - Elon University's News Organization. Print Friendly For Jessica Mahon, getting a master’s degree went hand in hand with becoming a teacher. But Mahon is from New York, where a master’s degree is required for public school teachers to become fully certified. Now, in her sixth year at Newland Elementary School in Burlington, her master’s degree is considered extraneous. Mahon is lucky. She graduated from Elon University’s Master’s of Education program before the North Carolina legislature instituted a series of cuts and adjustments to the state’s public education system.
Others have felt the effects more, and Mahon has seen this firsthand. “I know probably half a dozen or a dozen people who are looking to leave,” she said. Sweeping changes to the North Carolina education system passed by the General Assembly in July 2013 dealt another blow to teacher salaries by eliminating pay raises for teachers with advanced degrees. “As a teacher here, it feels like they don’t value what we’re doing,” she said. Mihans has seen the Elon M. Cutting master’s pay spells trouble for graduate programs, teachers - Elon University's News Organization. NC law that ends pay raises for teachers with master's degrees a blow to college finances. A master’s degree in teaching costs about $6,400 a semester for a full-time North Carolina resident attending East Carolina University’s College of Education, meaning a four-semester program would cost about $26,000.
But, according to the North Carolina state legislature, that doesn’t mean it’s worth anything. In the most recent state budget passed by the state legislature and signed by the governor last week, North Carolina lawmakers eliminated a provision – which exists in many states – that granted automatic pay raises to public school teachers who completed master’s degrees. It was one of several changes the budget made to teacher compensation and working conditions, including ending teacher tenure, but it is the one likely to have the largest impact on the state’s higher education institutions. The elimination of the benefit could have a significant effect on enrollment in education schools at North Carolina colleges and universities.
Pay Raises for Teachers With Master's Under Fire. Pay Cuts, End Of Tenure Put North Carolina Teachers On Edge. Teacher salaries are losing ground fast in North Carolina. Jennifer Spivey has been a teacher for three years at South Columbus High School, on the north side of the border between the Carolinas. She's been recognized as an outstanding teacher; she has a master's degree, and last summer she won a prestigious Kenan fellowship to improve education.
But she still lives in her parents' basement. "Can't afford to move out," Spivey says. "I'm glad my momma cooks dinner every night, 'cause [I] wouldn't be able to afford to live if I didn't. " Spivey has never had a raise, and as bad as that sounds, the news for teachers in North Carolina got worse over the past year. 'They Did It All At Once' In an effort to give more control to local school districts, the state Legislature passed sweeping changes to public education, many of which affected teachers directly. Terry Stoops directs education studies at the conservative John Locke Foundation, a Raleigh, N.C. "They did it all at once," Stoops says. Pay Cuts, End Of Tenure Put North Carolina Teachers On Edge. Strong Leaders for North Carolina Schools: School Principal Preparation Programs. North Carolina’s Real Teacher Recruitment Problem - Carolina Journal.
RALEIGH — North Carolina has a genuine teacher recruitment and retention crisis. But it has nothing to do with tales of teacher discontent spun by the mainstream media, special-interest groups, and teacher unions. Rather, the state’s public schools continue to encounter a critical shortage of qualified math, science, and special education teachers. The U.S. Department of Education report, “Teacher Shortage Areas Nationwide Listing 1990-1991 through 2014-2015,” said the relatively meager supply and strong demand for math, science, and special education teachers has been a persistent weakness in North Carolina’s teacher labor market.
Of course, North Carolina’s public schools occasionally confronted teacher shortages in other areas, including Spanish and theater. Lasting shortages of high school teachers in core subjects are another matter. Part of the problem is that graduates from North Carolina’s schools of education do not correspond to the needs of our teacher work force. Dr. Recruiting and Retaining Teachers: What Matters Most and What Can Government Do? | The Forum for Education and Democracy. Linda Darling-Hammond Charles E. Ducommun Professor, Stanford University With increased recognition that expert teachers are perhaps the most fundamental resource for improving student learning, there is growing interest in figuring out how to recruit and retain strong teachers, especially in high-need schools. Unfortunately, unlike other industrialized nations, especially those that are the highest-achieving, the United States lacks a systematic approach to recruiting, preparing, and retaining teachers.
With few governmental supports for preparation or mentoring, teachers in the U.S. enter: Meanwhile, higher-achieving countries that rarely experience teacher shortages (such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan Singapore) have made substantial investments in teacher training and equitable teacher distribution in the last two decades. These include: 1) There is not an overall shortage of teachers in the United States. A. B.
