I vividly remember the day my fifth-grade teacher issued a challenge: improve an invention. It could be anything, real or imaginary. One friend added soda to the water fountains; another, a TV screen to his Walkman (this was the '80s after all).

After an annual check-up in the doctor's office, I settled on the idea of creating flavored tongue depressors. With a few flavor extracts, I made wooden sticks coated in cherry, vanilla, and root beer. I felt like Thomas Edison himself as I distributed them to my classmates and teachers, receiving accolades in return.

Imagine my surprise 15 years later when my mother, a nurse, presented me with a sample of a new product they'd purchased for her pediatrician's office: a red, plastic, cherry-flavored...tongue depressor! The point of this story isn't the money that I left on the table way back in fifth grade (after all, I had never heard of a "patent" back then), but rather that I can't remember ever being so engaged in anything at school-a chance to create something that I was passionate about.

After reading Students at the Center, I was inspired to create an infographic- a distilled version of my vision for personalized learning. In their work on student-centered learning, Kallick and Zmuda contend that personalized learning "involves students in the design and development of the tasks they engage in." I have shared my infographic with groups of teachers across Pennsylvania in various modes: summer staff development workshops, grade-level PLC's, faculty meetings, and at a few statewide conferences. The fact that it has been so well-received speaks to the fact that teachers and administrators alike are looking for ways to leverage their resources in order to personalize learning for their students. Technology cannot accomplish this single-handedly; furnishing each classroom with a cart of laptops or a vault of tablets does not produce an effective teacher.

Conversely, we're doing a disservice to successful teachers when we limit their access to robust technology, thereby making differentiation and feedback less efficient. Within this V.O.I.C.E. framework lies my core vision for 21st century teaching and learning: a symbiotic relationship between pedagogy, technology, and 21st century skills.

Variety

Recently, a colleague sought to modify the way that his students could publish the personal narratives they had written. Looking to shake up the traditional "Author's Tea," he challenged his students to tell their stories in creative ways. One girl filmed herself in front of a green screen as three different characters, recreating a field trip to a volcano as a TV news story.

Each of our students is unique, with different strengths and weaknesses. This is not news. When we give kids the freedom to demonstrate their understanding in a variety of different ways, we tap into those inherent strengths, hone them, and engage our students on a different level. Allowing for student choice is also a key factor in student agency, a tenant of many personalized learning frameworks.

Ownership

How do I learn best? By this point in adulthood, you have probably answered that question for yourself. How often do we ask this question of our students?

Learner profile surveys, many of which can be downloaded online for free, empower our students with knowledge about themselves: strengths and challenges, interests and goals. This knowledge, coupled with instructional best practices and technology, can facilitate instruction that honors the multiple intelligences present in today's classrooms. Reflecting on personal learning styles is not only a powerful motivator, but a first step to becoming a self-directed, independent, and lifelong learner.

Innovation

Costa and Kallick outline innovative thinking in their Habits of Mind in this way:

"Think about how something might be done differently from the 'norm,' propose new ideas, strive for originality, [and] consider novel suggestions others might make."

Fortunately, I teach in a district that proposed a new idea: a STEM program that is fully integrated into our students' elementary experience. There are many areas in our curriculum that present opportunities for students to flex their creative muscles, and the same is true in districts without formalized STEM initiatives. Innovation labs, classroom makerspaces, and project-based learning provide venues for our students to think and work creatively. Simply stated, presenting opportunities for innovative thinking increases the chances that it will happen.

Collaboration

I am a disciple of Simon Sinek, the leadership guru who challenges leaders to build relationships rooted in trust above all else. As classroom leaders, teachers can cultivate trust and empathy among their students by providing opportunities to collaborate. "We can't all be good at everything," Sinek says, "...this is partly the logic behind having a team in the first place."

Increasingly, I have begun to see my role in the classroom less as a facilitator but rather as that of a resource-almost like a consultant for the group. In a collaborative culture, the use of technology not only makes communication more efficient, but also provides opportunities to identify authentic, real-world connections and problems for groups to tackle together.

Engagement

Recently, our building principal shocked us when he announced that one faculty meeting per month would be dedicated to what he called "20% time"-a time to be engaged in topics we felt passionate about. Some worked on trying out a new piece of classroom technology; others watched videos about reducing anxiety in children. We teachers had little trouble identifying topics of passion, but how often do we allow our students to do the same? Whether it be a "genius hour," station rotations, or even personalized homework, creating outlets for our students' passions increases engagement and solidifies real-world connections. The cultivation of curiosity, interests, and passion ought to be at the heart of a 21st century classroom.

Like Kallick and Zmuda, a visual I often use during presentations is that of a soundboard. Sound engineers are always fiddling with knobs: turning up the vocals on one track, turning down the bass on another. I envision the V.O.I.C.E. framework operating in a similar way: certain areas in the curriculum may lend themselves to "turning up" the collaboration or innovation while others may warrant less opportunity for student choice.

Speaking of sound, it can even work in music class. Our school's music teacher recently challenged his students to demonstrate their songwriting ability using a method of their choosing: utilizing songwriting software, exploring digital sounds, writing on traditional staff paper, or performing live with instruments. He reports that the excitement among students was palpable.

At its best, it is my belief that the V.O.I.C.E. framework can pave pathways to personalization for classrooms in any school and for students at any level. At the very least, it can jumpstart conversations about what 21st century teaching and learning could and should look like- certainly conversations worth having. Ultimately, I believe that when we personalize learning for our students, we're giving them that which we all hope for both in the classroom and beyond: a seat at the table.

Research has shown that cats can provide emotional support, improve moods, and contribute to the overall morale of their owners. Cats are also credited with promoting socialization among older individuals and physically or mentally disabled people. Nearly 40 million households in the United States have pet cats.

Although cats are great companions, cat owners should be aware that sometimes cats can carry harmful germs that can cause a variety of illnesses in people, ranging from minor skin infections to serious illnesses. One of the best ways you can protect yourself from getting sick is to thoroughly wash your hands after handling, cleaning up after, or feeding cats.

By providing your cat with routine veterinary care and following the Healthy People tips, you are less likely to get sick from touching, petting, or owning a cat.

Read below to learn about diseases that can be spread by cats and visit the Healthy People section to learn about staying healthy around pet cats.

Campylobacter are bacteria that can make people and animals sick with a disease called campylobacteriosis.

How it spreads: People get Campylobacter infection by coming into contact with feces (poop) of infected animals, including cats, or by consuming contaminated food or water. Typically, Campylobacter is spread when people don't wash their hands after touching animals or their food, poop, toys, or beds, but it can also sometimes infect you through an open wound. Cats commonly become infected by eating contaminated raw meat and shed the bacteria in their poop.

Who is at risk: Anyone can get a Campylobacter infection, but children younger than 5 years of age, adults over 65 years of age, and people with weakened immune systems are more at risk for serious illness.

Signs in cats: Cats may appear healthy and show no signs of Campylobacter infection or they can have diarrhea that may be bloody.

Symptoms in people: People can have diarrhea (often bloody), fever, and stomach cramps. The diarrhea may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Symptoms usually start within 2-5 days after infection and last about 1 week.

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is an infection caused by the bacteria Bartonella henselae, and less commonly other Bartonella species.

How it spreads: Cats become infected through flea bites, fights with other infected cats, or blood transfusions. People can be exposed to the bacteria through the scratch or lick of an infected cat.

Who is at risk: Young cats (less than 1 year of age), strays or cats living in shelters, cats with current or previous flea infestation, and cats that hunt are most likely to have the bacteria. Any person can get sick from CSD, but illness is most common in children and adolescents under 15 years of age and people with weakened immune systems.

Signs in pets: About one third to half of cats have been exposed to the bacteria at some point in their lifetime. Although most infected cats do not appear sick, some cats may experience mild illness with fever that lasts for approximately 2-3 days. Rarely, the disease can cause more serious signs in cats, including vomiting, red eyes, swollen lymph nodes, tiredness, and/or low appetite. Bartonella infection in dogs is less common, but more likely to cause illness, compared to cats.

Signs in people: The CSD bacteria may cause a mild infection with a small, raised, solid bump at the site of the scratch and lymph node swelling near the site of the scratch. This occurs 1-3 weeks after exposure (for example, a cat scratch or lick). The infection can also cause fever, and less commonly eye infection, muscle pain, or more severe symptoms.

The cat tapeworm is a parasite spread to dogs, cats, and people through the ingestion of infected fleas. This parasite is common in cats but rarely causes illness in pets or people.

How it spreads: The tapeworm is spread when a cat or person swallows an infected flea. Cats may swallow fleas when self-grooming. Treating pets for fleas can help prevent infection.

Who is at risk: The risk of a person getting this tapeworm is extremely low because you must swallow a flea to become infected. Most cases occur in children.

Signs in dogs: Tapeworms are usually not harmful for cats and usually don't cause illness. The parasite can sometimes be detected by finding rice-like segments of the tapeworm crawling near the anus or in fresh feces (poop). If a dog is heavily infected, it may lose weight.

Symptoms in people: Dipylidium infection is rare in people and usually doesn't cause any symptoms. Sometimes the infection can be detected by finding rice-like segments of the tapeworm crawling near the anus or in fresh poop.

Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by the germ Cryptosporidium (or Crypto for short), which is spread by accidentally swallowing poop from an infected person or animal.

How it spreads: Crypto spreads through swallowing poop containing the germ after contact with an infected person or animal, or through poop in contaminated food or water. For example, people can get Crypto after swallowing recreational water, drinking untreated water from a lake or river, or touching their mouth after handling an infected animal.

Who is at risk: Anyone can been infected with Crypto, but people with weakened immune systems are more at risk, especially for severe disease.

Signs in cats: Crypto in cats is rare, but sometimes cats can carry the parasite without showing any signs of illness.

Symptoms in people: Symptoms include profuse, watery diarrhea with cramping, abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea. The symptoms typically resolve within 1-2 weeks.

Giardia is a parasite that can be found on surfaces or in water, food, or soil that has been contaminated by poop from an infected person or animal.

How it spreads: Giardia spreads through swallowing microscopic poop containing the parasite following contact with an infected person or animal or by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated with poop from infected people or animals.

Who is at risk: The risk of getting Giardia from cats is small. The exact type of Giardia that makes people sick is usually not the same that infects cats. Anyone can get Giardia, but the following groups have a higher risk:

International travelers

People who have contact with children in diapers

People who have contact with poop during sexual contact with someone who is infected with Giardia

People who drink untreated water from a river, lake, stream, or spring

People who swim in natural bodies of water

Signs in cats: Cats with Giardia may have diarrhea, greasy stools, or become dehydrated.

Symptoms in people: People with Giardia may experience diarrhea, gas, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting. However, it is possible to be infected and have no signs of illness.

Staphylococcus aureus is a common type of a bacteria normally found on the skin of people and animals. MRSA is Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that have become resistant to some antibiotics. MRSA can cause a variety of infections, including skin infections, pneumonia (lung infection), and other problems.

How it spreads: MRSA can spread between people and animals through direct contact (touching). Even cats that aren't sick can carry MRSA and spread it to people.

Who is at risk: Anyone can get a MRSA infection.

Signs in cats: Cats often don't show signs of MRSA infection, but they can experience skin, respiratory, and urinary tract infections.

Symptoms in people: Most people with MRSA will carry it without showing any symptoms. For people who develop a MRSA infection, the most common type is a skin infection. If left untreated, MRSA can rarely spread to the lungs or bloodstream and become life-threatening.

Plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, bacteria that can cause illness in people and animals. In the western United States, fleas can pass the bacteria to rodents and other small animals. People and pets (dogs, cats) are at risk when they are bitten by infected fleas. Dogs and cats can get sick with plague and also spread the infection to humans.

How it spreads: People and animals are most commonly infected by flea bites, but touching plague-infected animals can also cause illness. People can also become infected by inhaling infectious droplets that a sick cat has coughed into the air.

Who is at risk: People that live in or travel to the western United States, particularly in rural areas, may be at risk. In addition, people with animal contact (for example, sleeping with pets) and hunters may be at risk.

Signs in cats: Cats are especially at risk for plague. Cats with plague may have a fever, low appetite, low energy, and swollen lymph nodes on their neck that can sometimes look like a wound. Cats can develop plague pneumonia and may cough or have difficulty breathing. Owners should minimize contact with sick pets and seek veterinary care as soon as possible to decrease the risk of people getting sick.

Symptoms in people: Bubonic plague is the most common form in people. Symptoms of bubonic plague include painful, swollen lymph nodes, sudden onset of high fever, chills, headache, and weakness. Other forms of plague, including septicemic plague and plague pneumonia, can cause more severe symptoms.

Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella bacteria, which are most commonly spread through contaminated food. Salmonella also spreads from animals, including cats, to people and from people to people.

How it spreads: People can become infected by eating contaminated food or through contact with animal poop. Cats can become infected with Salmonella by eating infected birds, rodents, or contaminated pet food, especially raw pet food.

Who is at risk: Anyone can get a Salmonella infection, but children younger than 5 years old, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more at risk for serious illness.

Signs in cats: Adults cats typically do not show signs of infection. Infected kittens may have diarrhea.

Symptoms in people: People may experience diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Symptoms usually start within 6 hours-4 days after infection and last 4-7 days.

Sporotrichosis is an infection caused by fungus found in the environment.

How it spreads: The fungus typically spreads from the environment through a cut or scrape in the skin, but has also been associated with scratches or bites from animals, particularly cats.

Who is at risk: Anyone can get sporotrichosis, but people who handle plant matter (such as moss, roses, or hay) or come in contact with infected animals are especially at risk. People with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk for infection, particularly for disseminated infections.

Signs in cats: Cats with sporotrichosis may have no signs of illness to serious disease. Signs often begin with small draining wounds that become raised lumps with the surface eroded away. The disease can then worsen.

Symptoms in people: The symptoms of sporotrichosis depend on where the fungus is growing.

Cutaneous (skin) form: Begins with a small, painless bump that shows up around 1-12 weeks after exposure. The bump can be red, pink, or purple and grows larger to eventually look like an open sore or ulcer that is very slow to heal. Additional bumps can appear near the original one.

Disseminated form: In this form, the infection affects the internal organs and bones.

Pulmonary form: Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fever.

The disseminated and pulmonary forms can be very serious and sometimes deadly.

Pets are at risk for tickborne infections, including Lyme disease, tularemia, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis, and others. Pet owners should consult with a veterinarian on appropriate products for their pets to prevent ticks. Treating pets for ticks can reduce the risk of tickborne diseases for you and your pets.

How it spreads: Tickborne germs spread through the bite of an infected tick. During the feeding process, small amounts of saliva pass from the tick into the skin of the animal or person.

Who is at risk: People and pets that spend time in tick habitat (grassy, wooded, or brushy areas) are at risk for tick exposure. Cats may have ticks in and around the ears, around the eyelids, under collars, under front legs, between back legs, between the toes, or around the tail. Remove ticks from pets promptly to reduce disease risk.

Signs in pets: Signs of tickborne disease in pets can vary depending on the type of infection, or they may not show any signs of illness.

Symptoms in people: Symptoms of tickborne diseases in people can vary, but usually include fever, chills, body aches, and sometimes a rash. Some tickborne diseases can be very serious and even deadly. See your healthcare provider if you have been in tick habitat or been bitten by a tick and develop any of these symptoms.

Tularemia is a disease caused by Francisella tularensis bacteria. It is mainly found in small mammals like rabbits and rodents but also can infect dogs and cats.

How it spreads: The bacteria can spread through tick bites, contact with infected animals, breathing in the bacteria, and contaminated food or water. Cats can get infected by eating or killing infected rodents or small mammals, or through tick bites. People also can become infected through cat scratches and bites.

Who is at risk: Anyone can get tularemia, but people who spend a lot of time outdoors, hunt, or dress and butcher wild game are more likely to be exposed to F. tularensis bacteria.

Signs in cats: Infected cats can have fever, swelling of lymph glands, fatigue, lack of appetite, and yellowed eyes.

Symptoms in people: There are several forms of tularemia in people. The most common signs of infection are fever, ulcers, and lymph gland swelling. Other symptoms include chills, headache, joint pain, muscle aches, and weakness. F. tularensis bacteria can also infect the eyes, throat, and respiratory system.

How to stay healthy around pet cats

Before buying or adopting a pet cat, make sure a cat is the right type of pet for your family. Cats can sometimes carry germs that can make people sick, even when they appear clean and healthy. Visit your veterinarian for routine care to keep your cat healthy and to prevent infectious diseases.

Wash your hands

Wash your hands with soap and running water:

After handling cats, their food and water dishes, or their supplies

After contact with cat saliva or poop

After cleaning a litter box

After gardening, especially if outdoor cats live in the area

Before you eat or drink

Adults should supervise hand washing for children under 5 years of age.

Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available.

Wear gloves while gardening, particularly if you know that outdoor cats live in the area.

Safely clean up after your cat

Cats can carry many germs in their poop. To stay healthy, take precautions when cleaning a cat's litter box.

Change litter boxes daily.

Always wash your hands after cleaning the litter box, even if you use a scoop to remove the poop.

People with weakened immune systems and pregnant women should not clean litter boxes if possible, as they are more at risk for complications from germs spread by cats. If no one else can perform the task, wear disposable gloves and wash your hands afterwards.

Keep your cat's litter box away from other animals, children, and food preparation areas.

Prevent cat scratches and bites

Cat bites and scratches can spread germs, even if the wound does not seem deep or serious. For example, cat scratch disease can happen if a scratch only breaks the surface of the skin. We don't know exactly how many people are bitten or scratched by cats each year because incidents often aren't reported. However, we do know that about 20-80% of reported cat bites and scratches become infected.

How to prevent cat bites and scratches

Be cautious with unfamiliar animals. Approach cats with care, even if they seem friendly.

Avoid rough play with cats and kittens. Rough play causes cats to be defensive toward people.

Avoid rough play when animals are young. This will lead to fewer scratches and bites as animals become older. Studies have shown cats generally bite when provoked.

Trim your cat's nails regularly. If you need help, ask your veterinarian.

Parents should tell children to let them know if they are ever bitten or scratched by any animal, including cats.

What to do if you are bitten or scratched by a cat

If you are bitten or scratched by a cat, you should:

Wash wounds with warm soapy water immediately.

Seek medical attention if:

You don't know if the cat has been vaccinated against rabies.

The cat appears sick.

The wound is serious.

The wound becomes red, painful, warm or swollen.

It has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus shot.

Report the bite to animal control or your local health department if the bite is unprovoked and

The cat is a stray, or

You are unsure if the cat has been vaccinated against rabies.

Because of the risk of rabies, ensure that the cat is seen by a veterinarian and contact your local health department if it becomes sick or dies shortly after the bite.

How to keep pet cats healthy

Keeping your cat healthy helps to keep you and your family healthy. To learn how to stay healthy around pet cats, visit the Healthy People section.

Before choosing a cat

Certain types of cat or kitten adoptions, like international pet adoption, may not be suitable for your family because of the risk for disease. This is particularly true if young children, pregnant women, or people with weakened immune systems live in the household.

Research and learn how to properly care for your cat or kitten before purchase. Ask your veterinarian or pet store staff about the proper food, care, and enclosure or environment that is best for the cat or kitten you are selecting.

Be aware that cats may shed Toxoplasma, Giardia, hookworms, roundworms and other germs in their poop. Plan to change the litterbox daily and always wash your hands after.

How to choose a cat

Match a cat's personality and activity levels with your family, the animals you already have in your household, and the amount of time you have to spend with your pet.

Pick a cat that is bright, alert, and playful. Cats and kittens should have shiny, soft fur that is free of poop and debris.

Signs of sickness in a cat include appearing sluggish or depressed, having diarrhea, abnormal breathing, and fluid running from its eyes or nose.

Make sure to take your new cat or kitten to the veterinarian within a few days to a week after adoption.

If your cat becomes sick or dies soon after purchase or adoption, take it to the veterinarian promptly, and inform the pet store, breeder, or rescue organization about the pet's illness or death. Make sure to tell your veterinarian if the pet was adopted from a shelter or from international pet adoption.

How to house your cat

It is important that you provide a safe, warm, and comfortable environment for your cat to live in. Talk to your veterinarian about creating a safe environment for your cat.

If you allow your cat outside, provide shelter when it is cold or rainy and shade when it is hot. Your cat should have access to the indoors at night to stay safe from predators.

Make sure your cat has access to food and fresh water every day.

Be aware that leaving food outdoors for your cat may attract unwanted wildlife. This wildlife can spread diseases to your cat.

Each cat in a household should have its own litterbox plus one additional box.

Monitor your cat's health

Take your cat to the veterinarian regularly to keep it healthy and prevent infectious diseases.

Talk to your veterinarian about preventive treatments for fleas, heartworms, ticks, and other parasites.

Make sure to clean up any urine, poop, or vomit in the house immediately, and disinfect the area after cleaning. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.

Contact your veterinarian if you notice any signs of illness in your pet. Keep in mind that even cats that look healthy can spread germs to people and other animals.

Get your cat vaccinated

Keep your cat up-to-date on routine vaccinations like rabies and feline distemper vaccine.

Vaccinations can help protect your cat from dangerous diseases and help them live a longer, healthier life.

Tell your veterinarian about your cat's lifestyle, including whether it is indoor or outdoor or both and if there are other animals at home or that the cat may come into contact with.

Ask your veterinarian about other vaccines you may need or want for your cat, like feline leukemia.

Protect your cat from ticks

Talk to your veterinarian about:

The best tick prevention products for your cat

Tickborne diseases in your area

Cats are extremely sensitive to a variety of chemicals. Do not apply any tick prevention products to your cat without first asking your veterinarian.
To further reduce the chances that a tick bite will make your cat sick:

Check your cat for ticks every day, especially if they spend time outdoors. If you find a tick on your cat, remove it right away.

Run your fingers through your cat's fur with gentle pressure to feel for any small bumps.

Looks for ticks in the following areas:

In and around the ears

Around the eyelids

Under the collar

Under the front legs

Between the back legs

Between the toes

Around the tail

Reduce tick habitat in your yard.
