Retired Canadian architect pursues African dreams -- Sponsors and oversees construction of primary schools in impoverished areas of Tanzania In September 2010, Canadian architect Alan R. Roy left for Tanzania to realize two long-held dreams -- climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and build a school. He accomplished both, and ended up building two schools, in only five weeks! One school is in the slum district of Majengo in Arusha, and the other in the village of Gongali, on the doorstep of Tanzania's world-renowned safari country. Now he's on a mission to recruit others to help him build more schools. From Clay To Classrooms is the story of Roy's amazing adventure -- a journey of discovery, full of colourful insights and amusing incidents that expose the charm and friendliness of a struggling people determined to educate their children. Roy balances the serious business of construction with an open-minded willingness to learn and celebrate the local culture. Though he can create blueprints, he soon learns how local building techniques and materials -- and the local people's own ideas -- will dictate the exact final form of each school. From his experience, Roy gained a renewed determination to make a significant improvement to the lives of a growing number of African children. He has established a registered charity, Primary Schools For Africa Society, as a mechanism for others to join his mission. Two more school projects are scheduled for November of 2011. "The return on donor investment is incredible," Roy emphasizes. "Each new classroom will enable hundreds of graduates over the next decade. Education is the key to ending the cycles of poverty, and promote stable government." From Clay To Classrooms: An Architect's Dream to Advance Education in Africa by Alan R. Roy is published by Agio Publishing House, Victoria (Canada), 2011, 198 pp., trade paperback $19.99, ISBN 978-1-897435-67-0. About the author, Alan R. Roy Alan R. Roy grew up in Cornwall, Ontario.

Excerpt from Clay in the Classroom: A Means to Creative Expression Clay is found practically everywhere. Unless one lives on a beach or in a desert, clay in one's backyard, under the topsoil, is probable and its quality doubtlessly would be such that it could be used for pottery. Large, commercially valuable deposits of clay are found in Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, Illinois and California, among others. Many clays can be used singly, before or after washing, screening and stiffening, to make pottery. Others, which may not, individually, provide the particular qualities desired as to fired color, temperature and workability, can be combined with other clays and inorganic materials to form clay bodies. The clay from which porcelain dinnerware, for example, is made is not a single clay but a body compounded of a white clay, for color; a very plastic clay, for workability; a flux, for fired density; and silica, for fixed hardness and glaze fit. The mineral, clay, is formed by the gradual erosion of rocks over periods of thousands of years. Water washes the disintegrated rock, altering both its chemical and physical properties and carries it over the surface of the earth. Clays are frequently found, therefore, along stream or river beds. Some clay deposits, how ever, are hundreds of feet underground, having been formed at a time when those areas were exposed. Clay is composed of aluminum and silicon oxides, water and, often, impuri ties such as iron oxide. The physical properties of clays vary, determined in great part. By the extent of their individual travels over the earth's surface. The longer the trip, the finer the degree to which the particles are worn down, the greater the deterioration of organic matter mixed with the clay and the more plastic the clay.

"when running records are used in standard ways with standard recording and scoring procedures they will provide a reliable and valid assessment of text reading. Classroom teachers use Running Records from time to time to: record what progress children are making, compare and group children, check how well texts are matched to the child's need for challenge... This book introduces key ideas about using Running Records and shows how to take, score and interpret reliable records. Teachers have two options for scoring the record. For quick appraisal the teacher can rely on counting errors and self-corrections and recording the accuracy of the reading. A second analysis of how the reader is working on text allows teachers to monitor changes in the ways children problem solve on text." -- back cover.
