Barber has worked in virtually every facet of education for more than 50 years: as a teacher, a teacher's assistant, in Head Start, as an early childhood education instructor at Shasta College, and as a private consultant. She also helped Nancy Casey found the First Church of God Preschool 38 years ago, one of the first of its kind in Tehama County. Now 69, Barber estimated she's been teaching from the time she was ten years old. "I had no idea" the award was coming, she said. Barber was one of many licensed day care providers and preschool teachers honored Saturday by the county's Local Child Care Planning Council and Child Care Referral and Education.

VCSU's Online Tech Ed Program Approved for Initial Licensure
The North Dakota Education Standards and Practices Board (ESPB) has approved the online Technology Education master's degree program at Valley City State University (VCSU) for initial licensure in the state of North Dakota. This means that students with a non-teaching bachelor's degree can become a fully licensed teacher in technology education by earning VCSU's master's degree. Because this license is typically transferable to other states, the ESPB decision effectively extends VCSU's ability to serve teachers nationwide. Dr. Don Mugan, Professor and Chair of VCSU's Department of Technology, said, "The need for teachers in Technology Education has never been greater. Studies show that the U.S. has fallen far behind other countries in terms of technological literacy, and a nationwide shortage of teachers in this subject is making this problem worse.
Driver's education fees are raised
Students thinking about enrolling in driver's education this summer will need to fork over an extra $30 this year for the program. The Baldwin Board of Education increased the price from $100 to $130 for students that live in the Baldwin district at Monday's meeting. The cost of $100 had remained steady for several years until Monday night. The board voted 5-2 to raise the price. Board President Alison Bauer and Board Member Lonnie Broers each wanted to increase the out-of-district price from $200 to $230. It will remain at $200. "I feel like this is a service," Bauer said. "I don't mind a significant increase, because it saves some people money on insurance." Supt. Paul Dorathy brought the topic to the board. He said each student costs the district an average of $159, which pays for fuel, insurance and salaries.
