Ancient Britons
Writer, Les Prince ; producer, Ruth Wood ; camera, Jim Eglington, John MacKinnon, Mark Ewart ; executive producers, Bob Carruthers, Gary Russell ; analysis, Paul Jackson, Les Prince. Narrator, Kate Harper.In this program, experts explore the history of the British Isles from the ice age of 30,000 years ago to pre-Celtic times in search of evidence of the ancient Britons -- the Neolithic "Dawn People." From Orkney to Wessex, their ancient societies left enough archaeological evidence to answer some questions -- and to raise others. This has prompted much speculation about Stonehenge, the nature of the Britons' religious beliefs and rituals, and the extent of their geometrical and astronomical knowledge. Monuments and mysteries appear to be the chief legacies of those who dwelt during the dawn of civilization in ancient Britain

The lonely end of the pink: exploring the lived experiences of men who teach at the K-3 level in Prince Edward Island
While men make up less than 10% of the primary school teaching positions in Prince
Edward Island, researchers are at odds as to the importance of increasing this male presence
within primary settings. What is clear is that the experiences of male primary teachers are
altogether unexplored in Prince Edward Island.
Semi-structured interviews and follow-up conversations were used to explore the
experiences of 13 male primary teachers. Within these experiences, evidence emerged as to why
so few men choose to teach our youngest students. However, The Lonely End of the Pink has a
much broader purpose. This study sought to understand the challenges these men face so that
support for our male primary teachers could be fostered within our school system. In exploring
these experiences, a complex truth emerged: the experience of being a man and teaching at the
primary level is an experience laden with tensions. Many of these tensions are linked to
stereotypes that are deeply ingrained in societal and school cultures; sometimes these tensions are
curiously unbeknownst to the men who teach at the primary level.
The findings of this study suggest that participants had largely similar experiences to
those of men from other locales. They further suggest that a reflexive influence is at play. This
reflexive influence implies that the participants' very interpretations of their own experiences may
be skewed by their limited awareness of the tensions that surround their work. Poetry submitted
by the author reinforces this notion: that our awareness of the tensions that surround us influences
our teaching, our identity as teachers, our professional relationships, and our personal
experiences. This research is ultimately about supporting the men who teach at the primary level
so that they can focus on what is most important – educating our youngest students
