Email sent to all teachers on 11/26/13

Hi everyone, It was suggested at todays 1:1 meeting with Scott McLeod that it may be helpful for everyone to hear the perspective from the top regarding 1:1. This email will do exactly that I imagine the 1:1 Committee will share additional information but I want to share straight from the horses mouth so to speak and Im going to be blunt and direct to minimize any gray area. East Sac County will become a 1:1 district its going to happen so start embracing it, asking questions, etc. Obviously the Board makes the final decision but my recommendation will be to move forward. Are all the details figured out nope, keep reading but well get there. Where will be roll out 1:1, e.g., high school, middle school, elementary? Not yet decided When will we roll out 1:1? My hope would be next fall, but not yet officially decided What platform will we utilize, e.g., Mac laptops, Chromebooks, iPads, etc.? Pretty much focused on Mac laptops or Chromebooks but not officially decided At todays meeting Scott asked what the vision was for becoming a 1:1 school again this is not official as the following bullet points are my perspective, but hopefully will give you some insight to what Im thinking. Technology is the world and if we truly are preparing our kids for an ever-changing global society then we MUST embrace technology and begin letting go of older paradigms becoming 1:1 puts a powerful tool in the hands of our kids at all times that is an important step in the right direction 1:1 should be viewed as a significant tool added to the pedagogical toolbox it is NOT one more new thing it is a tool to do what we do better and eventually do differently 1:1 should increase communication and collaboration - students and students, as well as st teachers/staff and students Collaboration is a (if not the) critical 21 century skill 1:1 should greatly support and enhance our current and continued focus on concept-based learning Im sure others may have things to add these are simply my thoughts and motivation. Finally, Scott shared the normal stages when implementing 1:1 include the following (my paraphrase): 1. Learning the tool and applications 2. Using the technology to continue doing what were doing 3. Starting to question why we do what we do and begin to transition to a new paradigm/way of doing things 4. Explosion of creating new tasks, new focus, take off and go Obviously every district will be in stage 1 and 2 for awhile only natural and thats okay. However districts who do it right move into and float between stages 3 and 4 because the technology transforms what we do. East Sac County, whenever we do this, will start in stages 1 and 2 but we will NOT stay there were eventually going to live in stages 3 and 4. Okay, thats enough for now but expect more coming in the not-too-distant future. Please start thinking How could I utilize 1:1 to help kids learn better? What can the district do to help get me prepared for 1:1? What can I as an individual do? There will be quite a bit more information and opportunities for you to provide insight on how to best get prepared to go 1:1. Please get your head around East Sac County becoming 1:1 and thank you in advance for your efforts. Kevin

TAG Program

4 years of High School and College Credit courses

Locations: We are looking for 3 or 4 locations would ensure all high schools would have logistical access to a regional academy within 30 miles of their secondary institution. Schedule: The schedule for the Regional Career Academies is proposed as follows: First Semester - Fall First Day of Class First Day of Career Cluster Final Week Second Semester - Spring First Day of Class First Day of Career Cluster Final Week Thursday, January 2nd, 2014 (8 day Career Course) Tuesday, January 14th, 2014 Monday, May 6th Friday, May 10th, 2013 Tuesday, August 20th, 2013 (5 day Career Course) Tuesday, August 27th, 2013 Monday, December 17th Friday, May 21st, 2012

Career Courses would vary from semester to semester and from Career Cluster to Career Cluster. It would include such courses as: Orientation to Career Academy The College Experience OSHA 10 and First Aid Training Health Science College Experience

These courses would be aimed at getting students acclimated to the Career Academy and to educate them on different areas of interest, national credentialing, and important information about PostSecondary Education. The Daily Schedule will be as follows:

Period First Second Third

First class would start at 8:30am and students would be released to return to their home Secondary institution at 11:30am. The students would attend three different classes during their Career Cluster and one class during their Career Courses. This could give them the opportunity to earn anywhere from 10 to 13 credits a semester for two years, a possible 40 to 52 credits to a two year period. This would obviously vary depending on the decided upon clusters and curriculum. It is possible for students to take high school credit classes at this location. We will have to determine the curriculum need as we move forward. Capacity: Iowa Central is anticipating development and enrollment of this Career Academy to be twofold: Year 1: offering just the first year of the curriculum Year 2: offering first and second year of the curriculum There for capacity for the program will double in year 2 Estimated Capacity will be as following: Year 1: Career Clusters per location = 7 x 20 students (first year) per Career Cluster = 140 total student participants/Regional Career Academy Year 2: Career Clusters per location = 7 x 40 (20 first year and 20 second year) students per Career Cluster = 280 total student participants/Regional Career Academy Funding Structure: Each participating high school will be asked to make a 10 year commitment to the Regional Career Academy. A school will have the option of buying as many, or as few seats in the career academy as they wish. A seat refers to a student taking the program for at least 1 year. As outlined above, there will be 140 seats available in Year 1 and 280 seats available each year thereafter. Each seat will cost the participating Secondary partner $2,200 for the year. If a school buys 10 seats, and only wants to use 7 seats in a given year, they have the option to sell the additional seats to another Secondary partner if they wish. Iowa Central will still bill the participating Secondary partner for all 10 seats.

East Sac County CSD Board Packet Page 14

High Schools will have the opportunity to utilize their faculty within the structure of the Career Academy. Iowa Central will make every effort to evenly utilize available and qualified faculty to teach classes within the Career Academies curriculum. For each semester class the High School Instructor teaches, Iowa Central will reimburse the High School $3,000. A 5-8 day career course (beginning or end of the semester) would be compensated at $1,000.

EAST SAC COUNTY MS BOARD REPORT December 2013

December 19th is the date for MS band and vocal concerts. MS student council updates: They are finalizing fundraisers for The Honor Flights for Veterans, will be doing pennies for patients in February to raise money for leukemia, donating money to Washington, IL middle school for tornado relief, and donating money to the Philippines. Student council is also shopping for Angel Tree kids this week - sponsoring four kids, and working with PBIS team on student recognition, and as well as leading the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in the MS. The MS science and social studies departments continue to work on and study curriculum (core) and alignment in their content areas, and this will continue to be a focal point for second semester (they have also spent time with standards based reporting). Meanwhile, the math and ELA departments have been spending time studying standards based reporting. These focal points are based on needs of the department and where they currently are at. There is a lot of work to continue to do in order to improve and progress, and time is a big obstacle. These areas of study are in line with Marzanos Highly Reliable Schools which is a highly researched document that states there are 5 main components to a highly effective school: 1. Safe and Orderly Environment 2. Instructional Framework 3. Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum 4. Standards Reference Reporting 5. Competency Based System Attendance data from fall conferences for the MS was lower than normal as a different process was used. The Initiative Committee is reviewing that information and has been asked to develop ideas to be most productive of time for parents and teachers. The Schedule Committee continues to meet about what next years schedule could/would look like in preparation for a possible 4 day school week. Some of our PLC work has also been with dealing with next years schedule. Our data committee continues to look at student performance data, and how that information should impact our instruction in the core as well as in interventions. Classroom activity of the month (will try to make this a monthly item on my reports): Mrs. Mueggenberg currently held a Skype Session with an author of a book that the 8th grade students just read. The students were able to ask questions and interact with the author who was in New York City at the time. This was very good as they could get the authors perspective in the writing of the book and preparations and research that he needed to do.

Dr. Leslie Moore We are excited about this opportunity to present what we are doing with conceptual teaching. I will keep everyone informed as we proceed. 2. The high school will be administering semester tests December 18th-20th. Semester tests take on a lot of different looks as we proceed with conceptual teaching. Some teachers give the traditional paper/pencil test. Other teachers are scheduling feedback conferences with their students. A third group of teachers are giving the semester test earlier in the week during regular class time. They are then using the semester test time to conference with students who need additional support. 3. Community Service/Advisor-Advisee: The high school has been working with area families and students to provide winter clothing to students. We have handed out coats, socks, mittens, hats, boots, and snow pants. We have received a lot of clothing through various organizations and people. A special thank you to Julie Kitt who has collected a lot of clothing and donated it to the school for distribution to needy families. We are always having Penny Wars with all the money going to the family of Jamie Buenting of Rockwell City. I am very proud of our student body who understand the spirit of giving. This is a value these students will take with them well beyond the halls and classrooms of East Sac County High School. 4. Iowa Assessments: We mailed in our completed Iowa Assessments and expect/hope to receive our results in late January. Iowa High Schools are required to give a second assessment each year. In years past we have used the BRI, which stands for Basic Reading Inventory. I met with the Building Leadership Team to discuss the validity and benefits from taking the BRI test. We feel like the test measures more reading fluency and less comprehension. We are investigating other tests that may provide more useful data. 5. Perkins Money. Each year one of the Career and Technical Departments receive between $8000-$10,000 in Perkins funds to purchase technology, attend conferences, upgrade existing machines, etc. This year, the Industrial Tech Department, received about $10,000 through Perkins money. At this time there is discussion about purchasing a 3D printer. Eric McCollough visited Carroll High on Wednesday, December 11th and visited

with the instructor about the 3D printer they are using. The $10,000 from Perkins would cover some but not all the costs. More information will be provided as we proceed. Career and Technical Departments include: Agricultural Education Auto Tech Business Family and Consumer Sciences Health Occupations Industrial Technology 6. Here is the Class of 2014 Commencement Information: Flower: Red Rose Motto: Nothing we do changes the past, everything we do changes the future. Time: May 18, 2014 @ 2:00 pm Location: High School gymnasium Color: Girls Platinum gown, red stoles with silver silkscreen Boys Black Gown, red stoles with silver silkscreen 7. Conversations we are having with our Teacher Building Leadership Team and our Student Building Leadership Team: How much time should we give a student who has an incomplete at the end of the quarter or semester? We currently give a student 3 weeks to finish all make up work at the end of the semester or quarter. Students who have an incomplete at the end of the quarter or semester are considered ineligible until all work has been turned in. 8.
