Subject:

2 year plan

Discussion:

Leslie Uglem led the committee through the 2 year plan. George Brush informed us about Jackson's work this year regarding common formative assessments. He mentioned that their are 7 different health teachers at Jackson High School this year. He also mentioned that his building Principal had paid for this work to be done and felt strongly about making sure that the same product results were coming out of all the health classes. George said that the Jackson High group sat down together and thoroughly went through their standards, assessments, and assessment results with their principal. Some questions were raised regarding how to tackle this task and who should be involved. For teachers that are new to teaching health from other endorsement areas, access of assessments is still hard to get. The assessments are not posted in a central docushare folder like it was decided that they would be in the fall. Also, George wondered why he and other health teachers weren't invited or included in the fall planning and revising health frameworks or the suicide training? He was not included in the emails that invited teachers to these meeting/training opportunities. It was concluded that perhaps both the CTE Director and the Health and Fitness Director may not have accurate email lists or rosters of which teachers are teaching health for the year. There have also been some discripencies regarding emails about CPR training for the health students in the health classes for this year. Diane Kinch has been left off the emails coming out from Robert Polk all year regarding CPR contacts and training for each of the schools. Clearly there are some communication holes occurring.

Next there was a discussion regarding WOIS and Diane Kinch brought up the fact that she has tried to get on and still can't access it and that training would be beneficial for teachers. Laurie Youngquist agreed and said that she has the password and code and still hasn't been able to get on the site.

The 2 year plan was finished being presented to Ric Peterson (community member) and he had no questions and approved it. He also complemented us on the work we have been doing. Everyone overall felt that the 2 year plan was fine and accurate.

Action/Proposal:

Ask about the docushare folder for other health teachers to access materials. Leave up to the CTE Director to invite which teachers he wants at which trainings. George Brush and others would like to see Robert Polk invited to the advisory meetings.

Ask about WOIS training possibilities.

Subject:

You Tube guidelines were discussed by Maryanne Erickson. She said that she asked at her school if there were specific guidelines that went along with showing the You Tube videos? Maryanne had a You Tube guidelines document that she showed us. This came from her building Librarian. Corie Gudgeon responded stating that she met with her Principal who stated that a teacher must watch all of video clip prior to showing it to a class, make sure it is clearly relevant and worth the time, and make sure to not let students on the computer under a teacher's individual log in so that they can access you tube.

Discussion:

The committee agreed and said common sense is most of it.

Action/Proposal:

Use common sense, do the right thing and follow district protocal if one exists.

Subject:

Parents as guest speakers

Discussion:

Leslie Uglem brought up the fact that she is really not comfortable with having just any parent come in and be a guest speaker. She said that the career center at her school has given her some good leads on guest speakers. Laurie Youngquist mentioned that she had a really good experience with a parent of one of her student's because this parent was a chef and it was great. Ric Peterson (community member) suggested that there needs to be a protocal as a screening tool and a pre-conference going over expectations/objectives that are expected of the parent as a guest speaker. He mentioned that it must be a common exchange to make sure that the presentation will be successful. It was also metioned by Ric Peterson that if the guest speaker cannot commit to all the classes in one day, video tape the guest speaker to show the other classes. We all agreed.

Action/Proposal:

Should we develop a common screening tool or protocal that all FACSE teachers use with guest speakers?

Agenda Items for Next Meeting:

Monica Lochrie motioned to table the specific topics for next fall so that she had time to think about them. She will be taking over to lead for next year's meetings with George Brush assisting her. As far as for recruiting more advisory community members, Ric Peterson suggested that we should tap into the Mill Creek Business Association because there are viable people there. We need to find a health district representative, a nurse, a pastor, a banker, chef, etc. The committee really felt that there are people out there to recruit but the Committee Liason person needs to be paid extra for their personal time to try to recruit the people. Ric Peterson also mentioned that he would be willing to offer up his board room in one of his establishments to have meetings be able to be held at a different location then the school. He also said, that he would maybe cater it. He also gave some imput with the minutes and suggested that the minutes be circulated around to not just all the members that were there but the ones that weren't there and state who attended and who was absent.
