 Winner for July 2014: Alison Snieckus



 Dear  Friends,

 The WikiEducator User Page Expo http://wikieducator.org/UPE (UPE to
 its friends) is an ongoing event to acknowledge WikiEducator user pages
 that are particularly informative, innovative, visually appealing, or
 otherwise just plain clever.

 We are happy to announce the winner for July 2014. She is Alison
 Snieckus. Lets meet her :-)
 July 2014

 http://wikieducator.org/File:ASnieckus.jpg

 Alison Snieckus http://wikieducator.org/User:ASnieckus is a trained
 educational measurement specialist. From 1986 to 2000 she worked at
 Educational Testing Service (ETS, the makers of the famed SAT, TOEFL,
 GRE). Later on due to personal reasons she gave up her job at ETS.
 She, alongwith a fellow homeschooling parent started homeschooling,and
 founded a local group for teens to have the opportunity to study and
 collaborate together: E-cubed: Experience, Explore, Educate
 https://sites.google.com/site/ecubednj/. Here once per week sessions
 are designed around teen-led activities. Since the group was founded, it
 has grown over the years. In 2009-2010, she taught a hybrid course in
 Introductory Statistics to 5 secondary students who homeschool. The online
 portion of the course was provided by Carnegie Mellon University's Open
 Learning Initiative. The goal of the course is to encourage students to
 think statistically, to communicate accurately and comprehensively about
 data, and to use a critical framework to evaluate studies. In Fall 2010 and
 Fall 2011, She taught Statistical Methods II for the Graduate School of
 Education at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. She advocates for
 an educational system which better recognizes and values the rich potential
 of individual variation among human beings. She argues on why do we think
 that all children should be force-fed a curriculum based on a narrow set of
 common standards, devised, largely, at the beginning of the last century?
 She has truly identified that every child (and certainly every teenager)
 deserves the option to self-direct his/her own education with the help of
 caring adults!

 Please join us in congratulating Alison
 http://wikieducator.org/User:ASnieckus for being the UPE winner for
 July 2014!

 with best wishes,

 Dr. Nellie Deutsch http://wikieducator.org/User:Nelliemuller and Ramesh
