Engels naar Spaans: School Director Profile
Brontekst - Engels Profile: Ms. Jeanne Bishop
EK Powe is so pleased that Ms. Bishop, who originally came to us as an interim principal, has agreed to stay on. She brings years of varied experiences and a lot of enthusiasm.
Perhaps the first indication of Ms. Bishop's future as a school leader came during her own elementary years. Her favorite teacher, "Miss Margaret," had a miniature model of her own desk that sat side by side with the real thing at the head of the class. Every student got a chance to occupy that desk for a week, bringing along their paper and pencils to put in the drawers. Well, some years later, and after graduating from UNC Chapel Hill with an ED Degree, Ms. Bishop would have her own desk at the head of the class when she taught 4th grade for some 22 years in Chatham County. A great believer in education, Ms. Bishop continued her education with a Masters in Reading and Language Arts and then a certificate with an Advanced Degree in Administration. When Ms. Bishop took on new challenges, she became Assistant Principal at Pittsboro Primary, a Principal at North Chatham Elementary, and then Principal at Parkwood Elementary until her retirement in 2006.
That's right! Ms. Bishop came out of retirement to answer EK Powe's call for assistance. After she got started at EK Powe, Ms. Bishop observed that what attracted her stay was "the community support; faculty and staff dedication…and the desire to assist with educational initiatives taking place." And since her decision to stay, Ms. Bishop says she has felt the "kindness of the students, community support, and the enthusiasm of the staff."
With all the work ahead of her, I asked what help she would ask of a genie in a bottle, were she offered three wishes. Here's her "wish list:"
o "All Powe students had a functional, warm and loving home environment and brought with them to school a sense of being cared for and nurtured.
o Powe would make tremendous growth this school year in the areas of reading, writing, math and science.
o The entire community would see the importance of supporting its local school."
Even if we're not able to locate a genie, I think the EK Powe community can help out with all three of these wishes.
It's absolutely clear that Ms. Bishop has many gifts to share with this community –energy, can-do attitude, and a healthy dose of humor. She also has a very evident confidence in EK Powe – students, parents, caregivers, and the surrounding community. I know we are ready to roll up our sleeves and work side by side with Ms. Bishop. But if you were wondering how Ms. Bishop gears up for a work list like the one she's made for herself, here's a little hint: You can find it at Coldstone Creamery and the preferred flavor is Cake Batter with a mix-in of Heath Bar and brownie.
Vertaling - Spaans Perfil: Ms Jeanne Bishop
La comunidad de EK Powe se alegra que Ms Bishop, quien originalmente conocimos como una directora interina, ha decidido quedarse. Ella trae varios años de experiencias múltiples y mucho entusiasmo.
Quizas la primera indicación del futuro de Ms Bishop como maestra de escuela se vislumbró ya durante sus años como una niña en la escuela primaria. Su maestra favorita, “Miss Margaret” tenía un pupitre que era un modelo miniatura de su propio escritorio. La tenia al lado de su escritorio al frente de la clase. Cada estudiante tenía la oportunidad de ocupar ese escritorio por una semana. Traían sus lápices y papeles y los ponían en los cajones. Bueno, algunos años después, al graduarse de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Chapel Hill con el grado de Doctora en Educación, Ms Bishop tendría su propio escritorio al frente de la clase, dándole clase al cuarto grado por unos 22 años en el condado de Chatham. Siendo una ferviente creyente en la educación, Ms Bishop siguió educándose, recibiendo una Maestría en Lectura y Lenguaje y un Certificado Avazado en Administración. Aceptó nuevos retos al asumir consecutivamente los puestos de Directora Asistente de la Escuela Primaria de Pittsboro, Directora de La Escuela Primaria de North Chatham y despues Directora de La Escuela Primaria de Parkwood, hasta que se jubiló en el año 2006. Así mismo es: Ms Bishop regresó de su retiro para responder a la pedida de ayuda por parte de EK Powe. Después de empezar en EK Powe Ms Bishop observó que lo que la mantiene en Powe es “el apoyo por parte de la comunidad, la dedicación de los maestros y demás personal escolar … y los deseos de apoyar las iniciativas educativas que se están llevando a cabo.” Y desde que decidió quedarse Ms. Bishop dice que ha experienciado “la amabilidad de los alumnos, el apoyo de la comunidad, y el entusiasmo del personal.”
Con todo el trabajo que la espera le pregunté cuales serían sus tres más profundos deseos si tuviera la oportunidad de pedirselos a un genio. Esta fué su respuesta:
• Que todos alumnos de Powe tengan un buen hogar, con mucho afecto y amor y que traigan a la escuela un sentido de ser muy amados y cuidados.
• Que Powe demuestre gran crecimiento en los áreas de lectura, escritura, matemática y ciencias.
• Que la comunidad entera se dé cuenta de la importancia de apoyar su escuela local.
Aunque no logremos encontrar un genio estoy segura que la comunidad de Powe pueda ayudar con cada uno de estos tres deseos. Es evidente que Ms Bishop tiene muchos talentos que compartir con nuestra comunidad: su energía, una actitud positiva y su gran sentido de humor. También tiene una obvia confianza en Powe y sus alumnos, padres, maestros y la communidad que nos rodea. Sé que estamos listos para poner las manos a la obra y trabajar juntos con Ms Bishop. Pero si usted se está preguntando cómo es que ella se prepara para las tareas que ella se ha impuesto, le puedo dar una idea: ud. podrá encontrar el secreto en la heladería Coldstone y en el sabor preferido de Ms Bishop: Cake Batter (mezcla de torta) combinado con Heath Bar y brownie.
Please note: I do not take rush jobs anymore, or any other jobs with less than a 2-day turnover.
I am a freelance translator, from Curaçao. I have translated different types of documents in the past forty years, and have concentrated on family documents, social/cultural analysis, heritage training materials, humanities docments, macroeconomic reports, promotional and training manuals. I have also done a lot of primary education documents. My languages include English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamentu. Papiamentu is my native language, whereas I learned English from age 4, Dutch and Spanish from age six. I have been using all these languages actively since then in a series of multilingual settings.
For several years I co-translated the Economic Outlook, the annual review and prognosis report of the Department of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands Antilles. I also have translated conference and workshop papers in the area of social/cultural analysis and the humanities.
For proofreading, editing, translating and interpreting my rates range from $0.12 to $0.15 per word, depending on type of work I need to do, technical difficulty, deadline and volume. I also offer research support by doing research in archives, research libraries and other locations.
