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 tohear the perspective from the top regarding 1:1. This email will do exactly that I imaginethe 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 recommendationwill be to move forward. Are all the details figured out nope, keep reading but wellget there.Where will be roll out 1:1, e.g., high school, middle school, elementary? Not yet decidedWhen will we roll out 1:1? My hope would be next fall, but not yet officially decidedWhat platform will we utilize, e.g., Mac laptops, Chromebooks, iPads, etc.? Pretty muchfocused 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 notofficial as the following bullet points are my perspective, but hopefully will give you someinsight to what Im thinking.

Technology is the world and if we truly are preparing our kids for an ever -changingglobal 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 animportant step in the right direction1:1 should be viewed as a significant tool added to the pedagogical toolbox i t is NOTone more new thing it is a tool to do what we do better and eventually do differently1:1 should increase communication and collaboration - students and students, as well asteachers/staff and students Collaboration is a (if not the) criti cal 21 st century skill1:1 should greatly support and enhance our current and continued focus on concept-basedlearning

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 (myparaphrase):

1. Learning the tool and applications2. Using the technology to continue doing what were doing3. Starting to question why we do what we do and begin to transition to a new paradigm/way of

doing things4. 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 thetechnology transforms what we do. East Sac County, whenever we do this, will start in stages 1and 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 startthinking

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 individualdo?

There will be quite a bit more information and opportunities for you to provide insight on how tobest get prepared to go 1:1. Please get your head around East Sac County becoming 1:1 and thankyou 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 accessto 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 Tuesday, August 20th, 2013 (5 day Career Course)

First Day of Career Cluster Tuesday, August 27th, 2013

Final Week Monday, December 17 th Friday, May 21 st, 2012

Second Semester - Spring

First Day of Class Thursday, January 2nd, 2014 (8 day Career Course)

First Day of Career Cluster Tuesday, January 14th, 2014

Final Week Monday, May 6 th Friday, May 10 th, 2013

Career Courses would vary from semester to semester and from Career Cluster to Career Cluster. Itwould include such courses as:

Orientation to Career AcademyThe College Experience

OSHA 10 and First Aid TrainingHealth Science College Experience

These courses would be aimed at getting students acclimated to the Career Academy and to educatethem on different areas of interest, national credentialing, and important information about Post-Secondary Education.

The Daily Schedule will be as follows:

Career Cluster Schedule SchedulePeriod Class Times Minutes Class Days Ttl Mins Con. Hrs

First 8:30 - 9:20 50 75 3750 62.5Second 9:30 - 10:20 50 75 3750 62.5Third 10:30 - 11:20 50 75 3750 62.5

First class would start at 8:30am and students would be released to return to their home Secondaryinstitution at 11:30am. The students would attend three different classes during their Career Cluster andone class during their Career Courses. This could give them the opportunity to earn anywhere from 10 to13 credits a semester for two years, a possible 40 to 52 credits to a two year period. This wouldobviously vary depending on the decided upon clusters and curriculum. It is possible for students to takehigh school credit classes at this location. We will have to determine the curriculum need as we moveforward.

Capacity: Iowa Central is anticipating development and enrollment of this Career Academy to betwofold:

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 studentparticipants/Regional Career Academy

Year 2: Career Clusters per location = 7 x 40 (20 first year and 20 second year) students per CareerCluster = 280 total student participants/Regional Career Academy

Funding Structure: Each participating high school will be asked to make a 10 year commitment to theRegional Career Academy. A school will have the option of buying as many, or as few seats in thecareer academy as they wish. A seat refers to a student taking the program for at least 1 year. Asoutlined above, there will be 140 seats available in Year 1 and 280 seats available each yearthereafter.

Each seat will cost the participating Secondary partner $2,200 for the year. If a school buys 10 seats, andonly wants to use 7 seats in a given year, they have the option to sell the additional seats to anotherSecondary partner if they wish. Iowa Central will still bill the participating Secondary partner for all 10seats.



17/33

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

EAST SAC COUNTY MS BOARD REPORT

December 2013

December 19 th 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 toWashington, IL middle school for tornado relief, and donating money to the Philippines. Studentcouncil 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 morningin 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 secondsemester (they have also spent time with standards based reporting). Meanwhile, the math andELA 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 areasof study are in line with Marzanos Highly Reliable School s which is a high ly researcheddocument that states there are 5 main components to a highly effective school:

1. Safe and Orderly Environment2. Instructional Framework

3. Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum4. Standards Reference Reporting5. 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 developideas to be most productive of time for parents and teachers.

The Schedule Committee continues to meet about what next yea rs schedule could/would looklike in preparation for a possible 4 day school week. Some of our PLC work has also been withdealing with next years schedule.

Our data committee continues to look at student performance data, and how that informationshould 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 8 th 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 perspectivein the writing of the book and preparations and research that he needed to do.
