In what ways may be technology

be used in your content area?

Welcome!

In the healthcare classroom I use technology daily whether it be with the promethium board or our manikin. It allows me to relate the classroom with the real world.

How is technology used at your school?

The ways I use technology to meet my standards...

It also provides information about these careers

What legal challenges does your school encounter?

How do those challenges affect teachers?

What role does technology play in student learning? Technology should be used as a

support tool to reinforce a teacher's lesson.

It can be used as a resource for obtaining information outside of the classroom and

expand a students' knowledge base.

Indian Spirit

Technology has allowed teachers

to relate course content to the real

world, giving experiences that without

technology would not be possible. The

use of technology has opened doors of communication, additional resources,

and enhanced student learning.

How do they affect your school or district?

What are the issues' pros and cons?

Almost 50% of students are minorities: 1 in 5 teachers is non-white 3.3 million public ed. Teachers in 2012

82% white

8% Hispanic

7% Black

2% Asian

The property tax is the primary source of local revenue for school districts, and property wealth varies significantly between districts within a state. As a result, districts with small property tax bases typically find it harder than those with large property tax bases to generate local revenue for schools.

  • The property tax at this time is 40% of the fair market value in Stephens County. Emergency use of county SPLOST funds to help reimburse system debt.

  • At this time Stephens County school system is 10 million dollars in the negative. Staff has been given 16 furlough days for 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 school years, 45 eliminated positions, and 1 elementary school closing.

How are they being addressed?

What effect will addressing these issues have on the future of your school or district?

  • Salary plan that makes teaching more accountable

FY2014/FY2014%20State%20Salary %20Schedule.pdf

  • 2014-2015: new salary schedule goes into effect in the

initial 26 RTT districts tying pay to performance

  • Existing teachers can opt out, but all new teachers will

be paid under new system

  • By 2015: Professional Standards Commission rewriting

certification rules so teacher’s

employment is tied to ability to improves test scores

  • Our system has to take the bull by the horns and face this problem head on.

Recognizing there is an issue and finding ways to cut cost while still providing

quality education to our students is our main focus. I believe if we stick to our

current superintendents plan we will come out of this on top.

Superintendent has proposed a “Budget Reduction Plan”

for FY16 which includes the following.

 School Consolidation

 Projected class size after consolidation

 Positions Reduced

 14.5 Reduced Positions Currently Absorbed after

current retirements and/or resignations

 25.5 Reduced Positions not currently absorbed

 Total projected savings-$1,900,000

 Additional transportation savings to be

calculated and added

MISSION STATEMENT

“The mission of SCHS is to hold students to

high educational and societal expectations and

provide a quality education through the teaching of an integrated curriculum aligned with real world applications while meeting the needs of ALL students and preparing them to face the challenges in a constantly-changing world.”

"Our vision is to create and sustain an engaging educational environment that produces capable,

motivated, competent, and involved citizens for the 21st century."

A quote to teach by

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

What are the issues' pros and cons?

Attendance

schs

  • Regular school attendance is a law in Georgia. Parents and students must assume responsibility for being punctual and regular in school attendance. Each school day is important, and no student should be absent except for extraordinary reasons. Excessive tardiness and early dismissals interrupt the school day and can negatively impact student learning.
  • Excessive absences can lead to decrease in grades due to missing seat time. It can also lead to students involvement in unsafe activities.

How do they affect your school or district?

Teacher Copyright Laws: Teach Act

Having adequate resources is always a challenge in teaching. With strict copyright laws in place it places restrictions on teachers to what they are allowed to copy.

What TEACH Does Not Allow

The new exemptions under TEACH specifically do not extend to:

  • Electronic reserves, course packs (electronic or paper) or interlibrary loan (ILL).
  • Commercial document delivery.
  • Textbooks or other digital content provided under license from the author, publisher, aggregator or other entity.
  • Conversion of materials from analog to digital formats, except when the converted material is used solely for authorized transmissions and when a digital version of a work is unavailable or protected by technological measures.
  • I teach 3, 90min periods a day, my class size ranges from 28-36 students. On an average day there will be 3-4 students absent from each class period.
  • With the new TKES evaluation system in GA, teachers are held accountable for students test scores and performance. Without required seat time for each student to attend it is difficult to ensure they are receiving full content lessons.
  • Class morale is affected. Students become discouraged during group work if all members are not involved.

How are they being addressed?

TEACH Act facilitates and enables the performance and display of copyrighted materials for distance education by accredited, non-profit educational institutions (and some government entities) that meet the Act's qualifying requirements. Its primary purpose is to balance the needs of distance learners and educators with the rights of copyright holders. TEACH applies to distance education that includes the participation of any enrolled student, on or off campus.

Consequences and Penalties of Unexcused Absences on an annual

basis, the Stephens County School System will provide to the parent,

guardian, or other person having control or charge of each student

enrolled in school a summary of possible consequences and penalties

for failing to comply with compulsory attendance regulations. By

September 1 of each school year or within 30 school days of a student's

enrollment in the school system, the parent, guardian, or other person

having control or charge of each student shall sign a statement indicating

receipt of such written notification. After 2 reasonable attempts to secure

such signatures, the school will send written notice via certified mail with

return receipt requested. Once a certified letter is sent to the parent, the

school has fulfilled its responsibility to notify the parent, and a court

referral may be completed at the student's next unexcused absence.

• What effect will addressing these issues have on the future

of your school or district?

Compliance Director Modules

August 5-6, 2015

Under TEACH:

Instructors may use a wider range of works in

distance learning environments.Students may

participate in distance learning sessions from

virtually any location. All participants enjoy

greater latitude when it comes to storing,

copying and digitizing materials.

  • Providing the students with structure stating "No more than 10 absences excused or unexcused per school year. After 10 a mandatory hearing before the board will take place." I believe that if you give students guidelines to follow they are more apt to attend school.

Job Aides:

Attendance: Letters to parents, Automated phone calls home whenever students are not present for a class period, Involving the school counselor and academic coach, if attendance issues continue student will go before a tribunal hearing.

Financial needs: Donations from community, sponsorships, grants, and fund raising.

Copy right: Grants to purchase resources to limit need to copy, and media center has posted do and do not copy list as a reference guide.

A business education teacher is walking around classroom looking over student work on computer. Teacher approaches one young lady who is typing a quite extensive word document that does not look anything like the assigned table the students were assigned to insert and design, she notices that it appears to be a personal journal entry. Teacher instructs student to close the document and complete the assignment. Teacher continues to walk around classroom and observe student performance. At the end of class the student were instructed to save assignment to their personal student drive so the teacher could access and grade. That afternoon the teacher access the student public drives to pull assignments to grade, when the young ladies folder was opened the teacher opened the document under the name table 4.5. She noticed that the contents was not a table it indeed was journal entries that student had accidentally saved her journal under her assignment name. The teacher not trying to invade privacy scanned entire document and noticed there were 45days work of entries, key words such as drugs, sex, and alcohol were very prominent throughout the passages; even describing events with her mother using drugs and sharing partners.

What do you do?

Solution: An immediate referral to the counselor needs to be made and child protected services to be notified. As a teacher you are a mandated reporter. The student saving this document onto the school public drive allows the counselor to access it to discuss with the student. This may have been the students cry for help and they needed someone to see the entries to help point them in a different direction.

Standards

  • The high school student body is comprised of 77% white, 18% Black, and 5% Asian/ Hispanic/ Multi-Racial students.

The Georgia Performance Standards provide clear expectations for instruction, assessment, and student work. They define the level of work that demonstrates achievement of the standards, enabling a teacher to know “how good is good enough.”

What issues have arisen at your school

due to diversity? How may teachers

have a positive effect on such issues?

Georgia Standards

https://www.georgiastandards.org/Pages/default.aspx

School Responsibility

  • Our school serves one-hundred-seventy-nine special-ed students, special education teachers are placed in classroom to provide extra assistance as needed

  • We also serve one-hundred-sixty-six gifted students; students are given opportunities to take advance placement course if desired.

Accountability

School staff have a significant role to play in supporting children and families of cultural and language diverse backgrounds. When staff are welcoming and approachable it helps to build a sense of belonging and trust for students and their families.

Teachers Responsibility:

Georgia is one of 10 states initially granted a waiver in February 2012 from the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

Once granted, Georgia began work on the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), a new

statewide accountability system based on 2012 school year data that was launched as a “study year” in May

2013. Since that first “study year," after receiving valuable feedback from our education partners and the public,

DOE staff members have revised and refined the CCRPI to make a more meaningful report. The new CCRPI

will be calculated from 2013 data reflecting the new calculation, and the 2012 scores will be recalculated

applying the new calculation methodology to the same 2012 data.

  • Teachers can encourage a positive school environment for children of diverse backgrounds by inviting diversity into the classroom.
  • Provide a range of opportunities for children and their parents and careers,share their cultural stories in an atmosphere of respect and acknowledgment

Teacher Key Effectiveness System

  • The graduation rate for the 2013-2014 school year was 90.3%.

Scenario

Scenario

A disrespectful student in the classroom who will not quit texting or turn off Social Media and will not listen to instructions. After reviewing classroom procedures with the student on multiple occasions as well as a parent conference the student continues to disrupt the class and interrupt the teacher. The students disrespectful behavior is influencing the other students to ignore the teacher’s statements, and classroom policies leading to chaos in the classroom. She is becoming increasingly disruptive everyday until one day the teacher sends her out into the hall and writes a discipline referral to administration. On the way out the door the student turns to teacher and says “you can’t do anything to me, my mom will just go to the superintendent” the rest of the class heard this and keyed right in.

What do you do in this situation?

Solution: This student mentality requires immediate administrator attention as well as a parent conference. Do not address with the student any further without additional adult supervision. An administrator should be present for parent conference. Follow your schools chain of command and send discipline referral into appropriate administrator. Inform administrator of date, time, and location of parent conference. Reinforce the classroom procedures with the remainder of the students. Discuss the importance of following procedures to maintain organization, enhance learning, and prepare for their future work force. Most importantly remain calm and use the situation as a teachable moment.

Teacher notices that a Hispanic student is continuing to type while teacher is delivering instruction. Teacher begins to address the typing with the student privately. The student shows the teacher that he is using an enlish to Spanish translator as the teacher speaks so that he can understand what the teacher is saying. The teacher was not aware of the students limited English. The student request to continue to use the translator on the computer, so that he would understand what the teacher was saying.

What do you do in this situation?

Solution: Contact the school counselors. They have access to additional resources to better help the student. The system may be able to provide the student with a translator to assist them in every class. Meet with the counselor, other teachers, student, and parents to determine the best course of action to ensure student success.

WE BELIEVE THAT:

• Every student deserves an equal opportunity to learn and excel.

• Every student has a foundation of strengths that we can continue to develop and expand.

• The learning environment should provide the opportunity for all students to maximize their academic and technical strengths.

• Teachers are committed to educate our students using

high standards while modeling appropriate values.

• Success is a cooperative effort involving students, staff, parents and community.

• By working together, teachers, students and parents can promote responsibility, discipline and character.
