Highberg also had two poems, “The Four Points of a Compass” and “Three A.M. February 24, 1991,” published in the recent issue of Queer Poetry.

Janet P. Kremenitzer, assistant professor of education, ENHP, presented on April 29 at the 2005 Annual Conference of the New England Educational Research Organization (NEERO). Her topic was “Emotional Intelligence Hyper-Awareness Strategy as a Pedagogical Tool Within Pre-Service Teacher Education.”

Emotional Intelligence is a new area of study that helps people to be more effective by developing abilities in perceiving, understanding, and managing emotions. Alerting pre-service teachers to pay attention to their own emotional states has been shown to be an important factor in teacher effectiveness.

NEERO’s 37th Annual Conference was held in Northampton, Mass. The organization is a regional affiliate of the American Educational Research Association.
