Business Partner Question: Carol Hartson A. How have “Renewable Energy” issues (Sustainable and / or Green Technology) impacted your business endeavors ? Response: “Recycle Art” This is a main method of products being used for activities. Preschoolers are also being taught to recycle. Green cleaning solutions are used. B. How do you believe our secondary school curricula should address those issues ? Response: Get students to bring recycle articles for use in the preschool. They can collect through clubs (Key Club). Teachers of America Club can do to fulfill requirements. Use old shirts for smocks, dress up cloths and props for dramatic play, tennis shoes to learn how to tie shoes, etc. 2. Post-Secondary (if Present): What can our secondary programs do to provide a better connection to post-secondary programs ? Response: Get Post-Secondary involved as part of our advisory committee. Most of us have articulation agreements with colleges as Baker and Macomb. There can be duel enrollment programs established as well. Have representatives come from the colleges to our advisory meetings and tour our facilities and speak to the students in our programs. 3. Discretionary Question or Discussion: Spoke on the merge of the two classes of Child Care and Teacher and how to do it. It was suggested to do it as a two year program. Question was on funding doing it this way. It was found out to be ok by Bonnie Awrey-Kaulfuss. Another suggestion was using next year as a transition year with teaching Child Care and filtering them into the new “Education” course. Questions arose about VG endorsements and teaching the merged course. Several were told by Norma Tims that having the South Carolina course and a masters degree and teaching for 5 years is the equivalent to the VG. Names were discussed for the new course. Teacher Education was a suggestion. Discussion took place on the teacher being on site with the teacher cadets.
