“Making it Possible - Whatever It Takes” Leap Forward, One Step at a Time Instructional Technology Committee Meeting January 28, 2014 1:30 – 3:30pm Minutes

Members Present: Bob Devine, Betsy Goeltz, Jan Harwood, Joanne Huber, Jeff Jolley, Kathy Luras, Dave Mattson, Lisa McAteer, Trent Merica, Patti Mortensen, Rhonda Naftz, Krysti Neil, Cheryl Spall, Matt Taylor, Chuck Wegner, Tonya Wilkes Members Excused: Doug Chambers, Pam Sanford, Dian Swanson, Members Absent: None Guests Present: Dr. Kandi Turley-Ames and Associate Professor Mark McBeth

Dr. Kandi Turley-Ames, ISU College of Arts and Letters Chuck introduced Dr. Kandi Turley-Ames from Idaho State University’s College of Arts and Letters. Kandi presented information at the Region V Superintendent’s meeting regarding a technology project in which she is engaged and proposed the potential for a collaborative effort with K-12. Kandi shared her experience with piloting the use of iPads in post-secondary education specific to liberal arts courses. Technology is a tool that can be used to help prepare students for future careers and not just entry-level jobs. Kandi shared the chronicles of higher education with regard to liberal arts education. The value of a liberal arts education has changed with the defunding of the liberal arts in favor of “job placement”. Companies want graduates with analytical thinking, problem solving, leadership, and communication skills. The challenge is to prepare students for careers with broader ranges of employment opportunities rather than jobs for an ever-changing job market. After 15 years in the workforce, the salaries and professional accomplishments of the liberal arts graduates exceed those with technical or professional school training. The College of Arts and Letters has considered the value of a liberal arts education weighing factors such as jobs vs. careers, work force needs vs. work force expectations, and transformative skills for an ever-changing job market in a global society. It is the goal of the College of Arts and Letters to meet the needs of ISU students and prepare them for the future. The College of Arts and Letters has reviewed and recognized that technology has become an important part of students’ education and therefore has become involved in online instruction with the goals of providing access and academic integrity. In the past year there has been a growth in online offerings, technologically savvy students, proliferation of mobile technologies, and employers’ expectations. Students who did not have access to classes were not giving up on their educational dreams. They were choosing to go somewhere else to get their education. Technology is not going away, so a decision was made to determine how to leverage technology. Faced with the technology challenge, Kandi created a virtual testing center within the College of Arts and Letters. iPads provide a feature called Facetime which allows a teacher to virtually proctor an exam providing academic integrity. Kandi has used the iPad pilot project as a social science research study. Results of the research study show that learning was occurring. Anonymous blogs created an environment where students were more willing to share and willing to come to class prepared to discuss blog topics which inadvertently flipped the classroom in a positive manner. Anticipated 1 Updated 3/13/2014

outcomes of the iPad pilot project were to increase access to students, increase student engagement, enhance student learning, enrich outcome assessment, superior job placement, data-driven decision-making, and enhancing skill development in the Liberal Arts. The results of the data showed that students felt that the iPad was a tool for student learning, critical thinking, information and collaboration. The iPad allowed students to be technologically savvy, increased engagement and enhanced participation. Students felt that using iPads in their education was good for society, a useful tool for training, and would take another class if iPads were used. Students also felt that iPads would assist them in their career and understood the purpose of using technology in education. Kandi was interested in sharing the successes and challenges of the iPad pilot project. Kandi proposed co-sponsoring a mobile technology day to invite teachers from the College of Arts and Letter to meet with K-12 teachers. Faculty members could present information and demonstrations. Kandi would like to present findings at a national conference as well as publish results and seek grant funding opportunities to incorporate teaching techniques into the delivery of the Common Core. Cheryl asked Kandi for a list of the top apps that were used in the iPad pilot project. Evernote, eClicker, and Dropbox were some of the popular apps that were used. Betsy expressed interest in the mobile technology collaboration day. Chuck asked if the students were using the iPad for the production of papers. Kandi indicated that projects could be started in the classroom and then saved in the cloud where students could then continue to work on the projects from home. One caveat of the ISU iPad pilot project was that students were not allowed to take the iPads out of the classroom. Trent clarified with Kandi that Google Docs was one of the application used for sharing documents. Kandi shared a story of allowing the students to create the rules of engagement for use of iPads in the classroom. Chuck thanked Kandi for her time and presentation and excused her from the meeting.

Chuck asked the committee to share their thoughts regarding the presentation. Betsy thought that this would be a great opportunity for collaboration and would like to see the conference be a joint presentation between both ISU and the School District. Teachers in this District have very interesting technology initiatives in their classrooms to showcase as well. Lisa agreed with Betsy and added that those type of conferences create more ideas for expanded use of technology in the classroom. Betsy would like to continue the conversations with Kandi to find out how the information could translate down to the elementary level. Matt agreed that teachers are ready for the next step. Trent agreed that sharing between teachers appears to be the barrier at this time. Teachers are willing to help each other if they had better means of sharing information such as Facetime or Google Docs.

Saw a Teacher Trent saw a sixth grade math teacher incorporate the Promethean clickers in conjunction with Datawise. The teacher had experienced some difficulty with importing questions with images from Examview, but seemed to be utilizing all other question types effectively. Trent indicated that it took some extra effort on the teacher’s part to get the two systems connected, but it would be interesting to monitor use of clickers to discover how the two systems could best be utilized together.

Cheryl wanted to mention the work the Building Instructional Technology Coaches have been completing in the buildings. Cheryl displayed a long list that was voluntarily collected from the Building Instructional Technology Coaches regarding the types of technology issues they have helped teachers resolve within their buildings. Resolving these issues at the building level is helping alleviate the amount of calls to the technology help desk.

Patti saw a teacher in an elementary classroom where the class was working in groups, and at this particular time there were four different activities that were happening all at once. Three of the four activities were technology based activities. Only one of the activities was being completed using paper and pencil. It was impressive to see the amount of technology being utilized for different activities in the classroom at once.

Mobile Device Discussion Kathy indicated that there has been much discussion about which mobile devices would be most appropriate in different learning environments. Kathy suggested a list of District-approved devices developed so that as funds become available building administrators and teachers know which devices will be supported by the District. Kathy suggested it would be best to identify the purpose for the devices and then determine the best devices for those purposes. Money is available for eBooks, but there are a limited number of devices available for students to use to read eBooks. Betsy indicated that it would be wise to purchase devices that have multiple functionality so they can be used for more than just reading eBooks. Patti asked if there were devices the District would not support. Jeff indicated that the District is not yet prepared for devices that utilize cloud storage. Tonya asked what the drawback would be to allowing any and all devices on the market be used in the District. Jeff stated that having a multitude of different devices would then require added capacity to the technology help desk to attempt to support every device on the market. The multitude of devices and platforms available on the market would spread the Technology Department’s human resources too thin. After extensive discussion, Chuck summarized that for the time being the District would continue to support the existing approved devices (i.e. iPads) and that the committee would wait until the District had finished developing the cloud storage policy prior to investigating other mobile devices for implementation.

Transition from My Big Campus to MOODLE Update Kathy reminded that committee that Trent and Cheryl have been working with the staff on the transition from My Big Campus to MOODLE. Trent indicated that Cheryl has created a template for elementary teachers to use when creating a course in MOODLE. The plan was to have all elementary teachers and students uploaded in MOODLE prior to the Technology Literacy MOODLE course in April. The Technology Literacy course will also offer more beginner MOODLE sessions. Trent indicated that the Tech Help section that was stored in My Big Campus will also be migrated over to MOODLE. The elementary units will be attached to the grade level teachers for ease of access. A couple of teachers at Washington Elementary have started using MOODLE and it has become contagious. Other teachers from Washington are beginning to request access to MOODLE prior to Trent and Cheryl’s planned implementation. The teachers’ eagerness was encouraging to Trent and Cheryl. Matt was curious about the class roster maintenance in MOODLE. Jeff indicated that in order to have automatic class roster updates in MOODLE the District would have to host MOODLE on a server in the building. Currently, MOODLE is hosted on a server located at ISU. Cheryl indicated that there are benefits to having ISU host MOODLE for the District such as handling server updates and maintenance. To this point MOODLE has been a trouble-free learning management system at no expense to the District. Cheryl has been handling the manual entry of new and transfer students and forgotten password issues.

Google Apps Update Trent indicated that teacher accounts have been integrated into Google Apps. Some teachers have attended the Technology Literacy course on Blogger where teachers use their Google accounts to create a blog. The student upload file was ready to be uploaded. There were a few teachers who were interested in using Google Apps in their classrooms. Trent and Cheryl were working on developing a training course for Google Apps.

Compass Odyssey Implementation Update Jeff indicated that the Compass Odyssey application has been moved over to the new server. Student accounts have been uploaded. At this point teachers would need to create their class structures. The students have been rolled up to the current grade level. Students who have been moved to a different school based on the boundary changes that occurred were showing as an error in the Compass Odyssey program because the system viewed those students as a duplicate user. Jeff suggested wiping out the database and 3 Updated 3/13/2014

starting over with the student upload. Trent agreed that starting over would be the best solution. Chuck would like to be updated when the program is ready so that he can send an email communication out to teachers so they could begin using Compass Odyssey.

Audio System Update Jeff indicated that the classroom audio systems installation would begin February 3rd. The installation will begin at Century with the expectation that the full installation at all high schools would be complete within ten days to two weeks from February 3rd. Pocatello, New Horizon and Highland would be next in the order of installation. The installers will be working 3:30-11:30pm seven days per week. The installers are outside contractors, not district employees.

Mobile Lab Updates  Rollout Schedule – Secondary Jeff indicated that the secondary mobile labs would be received this week. The high school delivery began today and the middle schools received all of their mobile labs yesterday.

 Trouble Shooting – Elementary Several trouble shooting issues have come up with the roll out of the elementary mobile labs. The first of these was that there was an oversight in the imaging of some of the elementary laptops. Some of the laptops were not properly imaged with the correct drivers. Those laptops are being reimaged and this issue has been resolved. A second trouble shooting topic was that some of the District applications were no longer appearing in the District Application folder on the desktop. The applications were targeted to use a specific browser. The targeting needed to be tweaked to get the applications to appear in the District Applications folder again. All of the applications should be appearing in the District Applications folder at this time. Another issue the technology department was troubleshooting for the elementary schools was wireless coverage for the mobile labs. Initially it was not anticipated that the access points would be used as heavily as they were. Jeff has had a meeting with the Superintendent and other administrators to discuss purchasing and installing more access points with the use of Emergency Levy funds. Temporary workers would be hired to help install the second wave of access points in all of the schools. Jeff was planning the wireless updates to become in the next few weeks. The auxiliary access points would be placed in classrooms instead of the hallways. The installers will not be moving any of the existing access points.

Post Script: Type to Learn was not operating on some laptops. Jeff has discovered that Type to Learn rendered graphics using 3d Direct Draw Acceleration which draws down the battery life of the laptop. The short term solution would be to advise the teachers to plug the laptops in during lunch and after school.

Alternate to Dropbox for Students/Home Access to H Drive Jeff stated that there have been several requests to allow student’s access to Dropbox. The inherent challenge to allowing the use of Dropbox would be that viruses can easily be contracted from such websites. The Technology Department has been working toward a solution called Home Access Plus which would allow students and staff access to the H and O drives via a webpage from home or any other device. The intent was that students could work on documents at home and school. Home Access Plus has a tile that links directly to webmail and another that links to ‘My Remote Apps’. The ‘My Remote Apps’ would allow the user to open the Microsoft Office web applications on any device. Matt asked if Infinite Campus could be loaded as a tile on the homepage. Jeff made note of Matt’s suggestion. Jeff was planning to debut Home Access Plus to the District next week. There would be an open beta test to monitor the function and use of Home Access Plus prior to launching the application to the entire District. Trent asked how this application would be different that using Dropbox. Jeff indicated that all the files that were uploaded to this webpage were scanned prior to being uploaded to be sure the files were free of viruses. Jeff would like to see the 4 Updated 3/13/2014

application progress to allow users to share files with other users. For clarification purposes, Home Access Plus would essentially be the District’s cloud storage option and should be utilized with the same regard as all other District computers, internet and applications. Committee members shared their excitement with regard to utilizing Home Access Plus.

Think Through Math Update Trent has added quite a few classes in grades 3-5 to the Think Through Math application. Trent has been hearing that it was easy to be a ‘happy clicker’ in the program. The responses are timed and students are rewarded with more points for answering quickly. The program allows the student to answer again for fewer points if they get the answer incorrect the first time. Some students have become accustomed to selecting an answer without regard for accuracy to gain the most points possible. District level reports are still not available for review of student usage and progress. Trent also followed up with the credit recovery aspect and was informed that the idea was put on the backburner because the company had shifted to creating an app.

New Teacher Tech Survey Update Kathy explained that as a part of the New Teacher Support Program a survey was administered to discover what would be the best avenue for training. Cheryl displayed the results of the survey which indicated that secondary teachers would prefer more information on Mileposts. A few secondary teachers mentioned MOODLE, Discovery Ed, Datawise, and Microsoft Office products which are already offered in Technology Literacy courses. Elementary teachers responded that they would like more training on Type to Learn and FASTTMath.

Keyboarding Professional Development Kathy indicated that teachers would like more professional development on teaching keyboarding. Trent and Cheryl had been creating some professional development sessions to remind teachers about posture and keyboard finger placement. The Type to Learn application does not teach all aspects of keyboarding. Cheryl handed out a keyboarding rubric that they would like to distribute to teachers. Rhonda provided some suggestions to add to the keyboarding professional development training.

TI Navigator nSpire Professional Development Update Roll to next month.

Instructional Software Program Usage Fast ForWord Fast ForWord reports showed that the District averages a fair amount of usage of the program.

Lexia 2043 of 4760 Lexia licenses were in use to date. Jan mentioned that there was now a secondary LEP student who has been able to utilize Lexia.

MOODLE Cheryl indicated that the MOODLE report showed usage from September 1 through today. The usage showed that the program was being utilized by the same users multiple times. The number of repeat users averaged between 650 and 850 unique users.

Type to Learn Cheryl stated that she reviewed Type to Learn class rosters. 23 out of 40 third grade teachers have created class rosters which was up from 11 teachers previously. There was no district report available for Type to

5 Updated 3/13/2014

Learn that would provide usage of the program. Cheryl has visually observed the usage in the elementary schools she has visited, but has no evidence to quantify the usage of Type to Learn.

Betsy asked for next month that an item be added to the agenda regarding Student Data Privacy.

“Making it Possible - Whatever It Takes” Leap Forward, One Step at a Time District Curriculum Committee Meeting February 27, 2014 8:30 – 9:30am Minutes

Members Present: Sheryl Brockett, Bob Devine, Janie Gebhardt, Patti Mortensen, Rhonda Naftz, Sandy Nalley, Sue Pettit, Mike Roberts, Pam Sanford, Christa Santos-Smith, Chuck Wegner Guest Present: Mary Taysom, Tonya Wilkes

Members Excused: Amy Belnap, Christian Christensen, Jackie Cranor, Lisa Delonas, Kathy Luras, Jill Pixton, and Kris Wilkinson Members Absent: none

Integration of Sixth Grade into Middle Schools Chuck thanked the committee for rescheduling the meeting and introduced to the committee the guests, Mary Taysom, the Alameda Middle School Registrar and Tonya Wilkes, Irving Middle School Principal. Chuck explained the need for rescheduling the meeting for this one agenda item was because it pertained to middle school registration which would take place prior to the next scheduled meeting. Chuck indicated that some of the committee members had been excused from the meeting due to other commitments. Bob indicated that the topic had previously been discussed among the middle school principals and they were able to produce a list of reasons why there was a need for integrating sixth grade students into the regular middle school schedules. The need for integration varies between the middle schools based on staffing. Reasons for the change include the following:  Since middle schools have moved to the new 1.5 hour extended block for math and ELA it has greatly complicated the Master Schedule, balancing class sizes and getting students placed in the classes they need.  Since keyboarding is an increasingly important skill for success on the SBAC, Principals believe more opportunities are needed for students to fit it in as an elective.  The need exists for more time for study skills/intervention classes at the sixth grade level.  The integration of sixth grade students into some lunchtime, sports and activities has been very well received as evidenced by communication from students and parents. Mary Taysom was invited to the meeting to share the challenges in the master schedule. Mary indicated that math and ELA take up three total periods. That leaves three periods remaining to schedule students for PE, music and electives. If courses were not strategically scheduled, future courses become unavailable to students because they are beyond the beginner or prerequisite course. Sue explained that the requirement to keep sixth grade separate has restricted the flexibility in scheduling and class sizes. Sue illustrated an interesting revelation that took place when sixth grades were split between middle schools and elementary schools. Many parents submitted transfer forms for their sixth grade students to move up into the middle schools. At that time, the middle schools did not have enough room to approve the requests. Sue would like to see the integration to middle school schedules to allow more flexibility in course scheduling. Sue would also like to add Intro to Computers A (Keyboarding) for the sixth grade to help with the implementation of the Idaho Core Standards. Tonya indicated that adding a study hall or 1 Updated 3/13/2014 intervention course would be helpful for many middle school students. Bob reviewed the reasons for integrating the sixth grade into the middle school schedule. Bob indicated that the recommendation was to make music optional instead of required for all students to choose between band, choir and orchestra. The recommendation would also allow for mixed sixth, seventh, and eighth grade classes in music and PE and would also allow sixth graders to, as space allows, try other electives. Patti asked if the students would get a choice in their elective or if that would be based on staffing. Bob and Tonya explained that it would be the students’ choice based on staffing availability. Students could list two to three options of electives they would like to take, but may not get their first choice. Mary explained the restrictions regarding PE stating the PE cannot be placed during fourth hours because of the lunch schedule and that there was only one gym for days of inclement weather. With that restriction the only periods available for PE are fifth and sixth. Bob explained that this restriction has resulted in disproportionately large and small class sizes because there was no flexibility in the scheduling. Mary indicated that it would be helpful to integrate the grade levels in the PE courses. Patti asked if there would be concerns with integrating sixth through eighth grades in PE. Sue and Tonya provided examples of students working well together in sports and at recess. The students do not appear to have maturation conflicts. The integration actually helps PE teachers because there appears to be a natural occurrence of maturation when the grades are mixed. Sixth grade students in large quantities lack focus, but when mixed with students from upper grade levels appear to be better able to concentrate. The older students also appear to benefit from the integration because they see a sixth grader make an attempt in PE and are encouraged to join in instead of being reluctant to participate because they feel they are not at the same level as their grade level peers. The middle schools administrators would like to restructure the band offerings to include Beginning Band, Cadet Band and Concert Band, which would allow segregation for differentiation. Christa asked about keyboarding as an elective at the middle school level. Tonya indicated that middle school teachers have expressed a need for an introductory keyboarding course. Patti indicated that the need for keyboarding may change as the current third grade class moves up into middle schools. Tonya would like to allow for flexibility for student needs and adjust as the current third grade class progresses into the middle schools. Chuck asked for other questions and comments. Bob will review the recommendation with the music teachers at a meeting that would include the middle school administrators and registrars. Mike asked Bob of his impression with regard to parent and public opinion on the topic. Many on the committee agreed that there has been an overwhelming change in the public opinion with regard to sixth grade integration into the middle schools. Parents will be informed of the integration at registration. Chuck asked if all the middle schools will implement in the same way or if some middle schools would retain the current scheduling system. Bob indicated that the implementation would look slightly different in each middle school depending upon the staffing. Bob used the example that all of the high schools do no operate in the same way based on available staff. Mary indicated that there would be numbers available from registration that could be compared to the current school year. This change would allow students more elective choices and alleviate stress for both parents and students because they can make choices that may be better suited for the student. Bob made a motion that the recommendation be approved with the stipulations that there be a meeting with the middle school administrators, registrars, and music teachers and that parents be notified of the changes. Bob would also like to add the stipulation that the registration results be compared and presented to the committee at the April meeting. Sheryl seconded. Tonya asked if the fifth graders could be approached at the elective fair which was scheduled for the following Friday. Bob indicated that the meeting with music teachers would need to occur prior to the elective fair and would schedule that meeting to occur prior to the following Friday. The motion was approved unanimously.

“Making it Possible - Whatever It Takes” Leap Forward, One Step at a Time

Instructional Technology Committee Meeting February 25, 2014 1:30 – 3:30pm Minutes

Members Present: Doug Chambers, Bob Devine, Betsy Goeltz, Jan Harwood, Joanne Huber, Jeff Jolley, Kathy Luras, Lisa McAteer, Trent Merica, Rhonda Naftz, Krysti Neil, Cheryl Spall, Matt Taylor, Chuck Wegner, Tonya Wilkes Members Excused: Dave Mattson, Patti Mortensen, Pam Sanford, Dian Swanson Members Absent: None

Saw a Teacher http://www1.sd25.us/Sites/gren/schatzka/February.htm Patti asked Kathy to share an example of the blog an elementary teacher is using to communicate with parents. The blog site builds upon itself throughout the year so there is a culmination of all of the events that have occurred in the classroom. Many of the entries contained information about the Idaho Core Standards and how parents can support the transition to the new standards.

Kathy reminded the committee that the district technology goal has been to ensure classrooms are at a Level One with regard to classroom technology integration. Recently high school classrooms received audio systems to supplement the digital projection devices. Kathy read an email sent from a high school teacher exhibiting his appreciation for the sound system that was recently installed. The teacher cited some of the benefits he has experienced in his classroom. One benefit included the decreased personal strain from having to project his voice over the students. Other benefits expressed by the students include being able to hear the teacher better and feeling as though they are in a college classroom environment. The teacher wanted to thank the committee and anyone else who was included in making the decisions for the installation of the audio systems.

Tonya shared her appreciation and the excitement for the new mobile and wired labs that have been installed at Irving Middle School. Teachers have found immediate uses for both the mobile lab and the wired lab.

Cheryl shared that she has seen extensive usage of technology use at Tendoy.

Trent shared how some Edahow classrooms are using technology. Trent and Cheryl helped students learn to submit research papers to their teacher via MOODLE. Trent indicated that the teacher utilized the elementary template that has been created for teachers in MOODLE. Trent and Cheryl also showed the students how to properly store documents to the H drive. The students are equipped to work in a paperless environment.

1 Updated 3/13/2014 Cheryl has been working with the Media Specialists to teach eighth grade students at Franklin to complete research projects online. Trent indicated that he and Cheryl will be working with Alameda and then Irving to accomplish the same goal with their eighth grade students.

Joanne expressed her appreciation for having an extra set of hands to help students get logged into computers and programs. Having the Technology Training Specialists on hand makes the process of learning in an online environment go faster and more smoothly for students.

Trent indicated that recently he has been hearing rave reviews from teachers about the building technicians. He has heard many compliments regarding the helpfulness and positive impact that the building technicians are making.

Student Data Privacy Kathy indicated that there has been some controversy regarding the SBAC Assessment. Some of the controversy has been with regard to student data and privacy concerns. Kathy stated that it was important to note that the state will not be collecting any student data that has not been collected or reported in the past. Kathy provided a press release from the SDE that provided information regarding the use of student data.

 Superintendent Luna Explains Data Collection Lucy Willits, Chief of Staff for State Superintendent Luna, testified before lawmakers that data collection is specifically limited to: A student identification number. The student’s gender. The student’s race/ethnicity. The student’s grade level. The school the student attends. A student’s test scores, achievement levels and responses to test questions and items. Data regarding eligibility of English language development or special education services, if applicable. Data regarding eligibility for Federal Title I compensatory courses. Superintendent Luna clarified that the state isn’t collecting new data under Common Core and the SBAC. “We will not collect any more data when we give this assessment than we did the last ten years with the ISAT,” Luna said. “Taking this assessment is not something a student could opt out of before and not something they can opt out of today.” Once the information is collected, it is shared with the vendor the state selects to administer the SBAC, ISAT or SAT – not the Federal government.

Kathy will email the press release from the SDE that provided information regarding the use of student data along with Luna’s Explanation regarding Data Collection to the principals.

Kathy indicated that there is proposed legislation regarding Student Data Security that provides definitions and sets forth the procedure for reporting to the legislature. Kathy will continue to monitor the legislation and if it passes she will report the implication of the legislation at a future meeting. Trent has read the legislation and reported that it appears to be similar to the FERPA policy, but is now being incorporated into Idaho law instead of just being a Federal law.

Technology Updates  WiFi Update Jeff indicated that the second phase of the WiFi upgrade, to increase the density of access points, has continued to take place district-wide. Ellis and Tendoy were the schools that were being serviced at the time of the meeting. 2 Updated 3/13/2014

 Home Access to H: and O: Jeff stated that the District is ready to pilot the Home Access program. The weblink, my.sd25.us, is currently available for student and staff use. Jeff indicated that it is now possible to access files on the H and O drives from most devices that have internet connectivity. A document can be downloaded, edited and then uploaded to the same location. This will eliminate the need for jump drives. Cheryl has been using Home Access with her children to continue to work on classroom assignments at home. Cheryl also shared that some students at Franklin had been using Home Access. Jeff will send an email out to the staff inviting them to use the Home Access program as soon as the last few known bugs are resolved.

 Secondary Mobile Labs Jeff indicated that the mobile labs have been delivered to the secondary schools. Jeff felt that the secondary rollout went more smoothly than the elementary rollout because of the lessons learned from the elementary rollout. Mice have been ordered for the secondary mobile labs. Wired labs have been installed at Irving and Highland. Chairs have been ordered for those labs and are expected to arrive the following week. Kathy asked when headphones for SBAC would be ordered. Jeff agreed to order headphones in the coming week.

 Type to Learn Update Jeff indicated that a challenge has been presented regarding using Type to Learn on the mobile devices. Type to Learn uses Direct Draw 3D graphics which dramatically draws down the power of the mobile device. Jeff has recommended that staff charge the mobile devices over the lunch break to help with the life of the battery throughout the remainder of the day. Jeff also recommended that the District research a different keyboarding application as a long term solution. Trent has been exploring other keyboarding applications. One application that is available is called TypingWeb.com. TypingWeb.com has a one-time cost of $8 per teacher. There is a free version of TypingWeb.com; however, there are quite a few advertisements on the free version. Trent only worked with the free version of the application so he was unaware of the extra features that would be available if the District paid the cost of $8 per teacher.

ISU College of Arts & Letters iPad Initiative eISU Faculty Presentations Kathy reminded the committee that at the last meeting Kandi Turley-Ames presented information on the use of iPads in the College of Arts & Letters at ISU. During that meeting Dr. Turley-Ames indicated that she would like to collaborate with teachers from the District. Cheryl indicated that the ISU College of Arts & Letters would be hosting iPad Initiative eISU Faculty Presentations on Tuesday, April 4, 2014 from 1-3pm at the Pond Student Union Building Little Wood River Room. All district staff were invited to attend. There would be no cost for the presentations. Information about the presentation was sent to building prinicipals.

IETA Conference Update Trent, Cheryl and Jeff reported that they attended the Idaho Education Technology Association (IETA) Conference. Both Trent and Cheryl have attended this conference in past years. Cheryl indicated that this year’s conference was different because it had more focus on classroom teachers. Trent added that there was a variety of devices being used in districts around the state. Trent added that electronic collaboration was a focus during the conference. The ability to share has also become an important part of electronic collaboration. Cheryl mentioned there is a website called LiveSlide that can be used for presentations on student devices. Students follow along with teachers’ presentations on their own devices. Another application that is highly utilized is called EverNote. EverNote, similar to OneNote, works on all platforms and can be used to create lists and help keep students organized. Cheryl indicated that she learned of another application that caught her attention called SubText. SubText was recently purchased by Renaissance Learning. SubText is similar to Follett’s Classroom Connect, but also incorporates AR tests. SubText allows electronic documents to be distributed to the students for annotation. Chuck recommended 3 Updated 3/13/2014 forwarding the conference agenda to Administrators so they can plan to use Teacher Quality funds to send teachers to this conference next year.

Use of Textbook Funds for iPad Purchases Chuck explained that funds have been set aside from House Bill 65 for digital resources. Some schools have used the allocation for eBook purchases. Many of the administrators and teachers have voiced concerns regarding not having enough electronic devices to utilize the eBooks that have been purchased. House Bill 65 funds cannot be used for devices; therefore, Chuck asked Cabinet for approval to allow administrators to use a portion of their textbook allotments for devices. This request was approved and communicated to administrators. Betsy shared that teachers have been able to use the devices for student created presentations in alignment with the requirements of the Idaho Core Standards.

STEM iPad Workshop Matt Taylor attended an iPad workshop and shared his experiences from the workshop. Matt explained that Tonya and a few other teachers also attended the iPad workshop in Utah. Matt indicated that although the purpose of the workshop was not to sell the iPad, he is convinced that iPads are the most productive eTool on the market at this time. There are various apps and videos that can be used for student learning and creativity. Matt demonstrated the iTunes U application and some of the resources that are available. Many of the resources in iTunes U are open source courses. Other resources could be purchased for one dollar. Matt indicated that iTunes U is now compatible with PC devices. “Create a Book Builder” is another application that Matt learned about at the workshop. Students can use the app to create their own textbook based on lessons learned during the class. Jan asked if the student data was protected. Matt would have to do further research regarding student data. Students can create documents and video evidence of learning which relates directly back to the Idaho Core Standards. “ShowMe”, another application Matt demonstrated, allows students to create a video to explain concepts they have learned. Matt was excited about what he learned at the iPad workshop.

SBAC Updates  SBAC Training Modules: http://sbac.portal.airast.org/field-test/resources/ Kathy explained that SBAC Training Modules were made available to principals during the most recent K- 12 meeting. Kathy projected the Test Administration Manual and The Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines that are now available.  SBAC Practice/Training Tests: http://sbac.portal.airast.org/practice-test/ Last fall SBAC made practice test available for students, teachers and parents. The District has provided sample items to teachers to create awareness of the type of items that would be present on the SBAC Field Test. Kathy indicated that training tests were now available; training tests were developed to help students become familiar with the test interface. Kathy demonstrated where the SBAC Pilot could be found on the District homepage and also in the District Application folder on the desktop.

ISTE Board Meeting Betsy reported that she attended the ISTE Board meeting. A keynote speaker presented information regarding BYOD. The speaker also introduced the SAMR model and indicated that some districts were offering free connectivity for students especially those that qualify for free or reduced lunch programs. Trent shared an image of the SAMR model for the committee to review. The SAMR is a representation of the use of technology within a classroom.

4 Updated 3/13/2014 Kathy asked Chuck to review the committee norms. Kathy approached the committee regarding going paperless. The committee agreed to bring their devices and to utilize the folder available on the O drive for related documents.

1st Trimester : 55 days - 2nd Trimester : 54 days - 3rd Trimester : 58 days 31 ER Century High School Accreditation Spring 2014

Century High School’s formal on-site Accreditation visit took place on December 16 & 17, 2013. The following are the powerful practices as recognized by the visiting team:

Standard 1.2 Century High School is committed to providing challenging and equitable educational programs and learning experiences for all students. The External Review Team validated this Powerful Practice through their interviews and observations at the school. The stakeholders and data available confirmed the shared values and beliefs at the school.

Standard 2.2 The school administrative team provides excellent and powerful leadership. They function as a cohesive unit for the benefit of the school, students, and staff. The school's leadership along with all other staff members annually review policies and procedures to ensure a refocus on the school's mission and vision statements. Knowledge and understanding of the policies, procedures, laws, and regulations provide a cohesive actualization which benefits student learning.

Standard 3.1 Students are given challenging opportunities provided by the school's curriculum in order to develop all the necessary skills to be successful after completing high school. A thorough review of the curriculum data provided by the school enabled the team members to recognize the high expectation and rigor that is expected of students. Common course assessments, remediation classes, high expectation in like classes, teachers/student advisors, caring teachers and staff, multiple formative assessments are evidence of the desire on the schools part ensure that all students have the opportunity to be successful later in life.

Standard 4.4 Media center support to students and school personnel. There is conclusive evidence to support the best practices in the media's center connection to student learning. The media center statistics indicate all students and school personnel have access to an exceptional collection of information resources. The media center staff make monthly presentations to the faculty concerning technology and media center resources.

Standard 5.5 School leaders have developed a comprehensive system to monitor and communicate about learning conditions that support student learning and the sharing of student achievement to stakeholders. The External Team evaluated conclusive evidence to support this Powerful Practice in observations, and data supplied by the school. Teachers are provided comprehensive information about student learning through an extensive variety of testing and assessment documents. In the team interviews of parents and community leaders it was very evident that stakeholders were well informed about their students and their school.

The visitation team determines an IEQ score based on the findings of the self assessment, stakeholder surveys, school improvement plan and student assessment data. IEQ provides a framework that recognizes and supports the journey of continuous improvement. The IEQ is the starting point for continuous improvement. Actions for improvement that have a positive impact will be reflected in the IEQ score. IEQ Institutional Score: 321 Teaching and Learning Impact: 314 (Standards 3 and 5; Student Performance Criteria) Leadership Capacity: 336 (Standards 1 and 2; Stakeholder Engagement Criteria) Resource Utilization: 314 (Standard 4)

The following required action was the single finding of the visiting team:

There is a need for more staff development and training in the evaluation, interpretation, and use of data. Related Indicator or Assurance: 5.3 Description: Because of the amount of data available for staff, there was a concern that the staff may not be using all of it in a helpful and productive manner.

As a result of this finding the Century High School Building Leadership Team has developed this preliminary goal:

Century High School teachers will utilize SBAC, SAT, classroom pre & post assessment, and other formative and summative date in instructional decisions in the development and delivery of lessons units at least once a month during PLC time.

Possible actions include: Book study/professional development Develop and disseminate survey for faculty regarding types of data used and purpose Collaboration during PLC time Utilizing Data conference/workshop Develop common assessments Collect and house data on “O” drive

Century High School is in the early stages of developing this SMART goal with action steps and will have the goal finalized and placed in the school improvement plan by the end of the school year. This will be a goal/focus for the next three to four years. Current the Building Leadership Team is tweaking the goal with input due back for the March meeting.

MEMORANDUM

To: Mary M. Vagner, Superintendent From: Robert Devine, Dir. Secondary Education Date: March 18, 2014 RE: Alameda Middle School Space Needs for 2014-15 and Teen Parent Day Care Program Assessment and Recommendation

The Middle School Principals completed the roll up of their students for 2014-15. Alameda Middle School is currently using all of its classroom space and needs two more classrooms for next year. Additional classroom spaces could be made available if the school had access to the portables on site that currently house the Teen Parent Day Care Program. Currently, there are four portable classrooms that are available for the Teen Parent Day Care Program, which could be converted for middle school use. Thus, the administration conducted an assessment of the Teen Parent Day Care Program and found that the number of children served is minimal for the cost of maintaining the Program. Program usage is documented as follows:

Average daily WEEK attendance Sept 15-19 4 Sept 23-27 3.8 Oct 14-18 3.8 Oct 21-25 4.8 Oct 28-Nov 1 4 Nov 4-8 3.6 Nov 11-15 3.25 Dec 9-13 3.8

Dec 16-20 3.4

Jan 6-10 5.2

Jan 14-17 3.6 Jan 27-31 4.6 Feb 3-7 5 Feb 10-14 5.2 The weekly attendance – average is 4.1 children a day. Feb 18-20 3.6 Feb 24-28 4 4.103125

Salaries are as follows:

Classified employee, 6.5 hours a day @ $9.05 per hr = $10,353.00 Classified employee, 5.6 hours a day @ $9.51 per hr = $ 9,373.00 Salaried teacher, .333 contract = $10,612.00

Total $30,338.00 + benefits ($19,164)

If the Program was discontinued the needs of the middle school could be met and with a redirection of resources, additional support could be available for teen parents to access support in the community. That information is as follows:

Redirection of Resources:  Currently, the Day Care Program is staffed with 1.67 classified FTE, .33 certified FTE and 1 Foster Grandparent.  The .33 certified FTE could be utilized at New Horizon Center in the elective program and the resources from the 1.67 classified FTE could be redirected to meet other needs.  New Horizon Center currently covers registrar duties with counselor and secretarial time. The turnover rate at New Horizon Center is 53% and with 6 blocks these staff members are continuously performing registrar duties.  Resources could be redirected to hire a .5 registrar thus recapturing time for additional counseling and secretarial work. With the additional counseling time and the time of the .50 Community Resource Worker (CRW), that is funded from the Rapid Turnaround Grant, their time could be redirected to help Teen Parents locate and secure available resources in the community and teach them life skills.  With redirection of resources, the supervision issues in the Day Care Center would be resolved.  Transportation costs would be reduced as the noon run from New Horizon to Alameda would be eliminated.  New Horizon Center Food Service staff would discontinue the practice of preparing infant/toddler meals.  Four classroom spaces would be available for middle school use.

Negative Effects of Redirection of Resources:  Inconvenience for teen parents and families.  Staff impacts.

Impact to PTE: There is no identified impact to the Early Childhood Professions Program. Currently PTE students intern at the Lincoln Center, ISU Daycare and TLC Daycare for onsite experience. All PTE equipment would be reallocated to a PTE program if it is not needed in the Early Childhood Professions Program. All supplies will be disbursed to PTE programs. Other items not needed would be offered to non PTE programs, or sent to auction/discard.

Recommendation: The administration recommends discontinuing the Teen Parent Day Care Program for 2014-2015 and redirecting resources as deemed appropriate.

RE: 9th Grade School of Choice Summary – Spring 2014

______

8th grade students in all 4 middle schools and 5 local charter or private schools were visited by the Director of Secondary Education, the Coordinator of Professional-Technical Education Programs and student government representatives from Highland, Pocatello and Century High Schools in an assembly setting during the last few days of January. Students received information, listened to presentations and had an interactive question/answer session.

The following week all 3 comprehensive high schools hosted an Open House for 8th graders and their parents to learn about each school’s courses, programs and activities. Students submitted their choice by February 10, 2014. Students that did not turn in a form were automatically assigned to the high school in the boundaries in which they reside.

On the following page is a breakdown of the 8th grade student’s school of choice selections for their 9th grade year. One interesting note is that the 8th graders at the charter and private schools continue to prefer to attend Century High School.

The projected overall high school enrollment numbers at the bottom of the page have been updated since these 9th grade choice numbers were calculated in mid-February. School of Choice 2014‐2015

RE: Secondary Enrollment Projections and Staffing for 2014-15

Middle School

After analyzing the current middle school enrollment and projected enrollment for the 2014-15 year, the approximate increase for grades 6-8 is a net gain of 83 students from 2,643 to 2,726.

Enrollment at Alameda Middle School will increase by 47 students (mostly 6th graders), Franklin Middle School will decrease by 36 students, Hawthorne will increase by 27 students (mostly 8th graders) and Irving Middle School will increase by 45 students.

I am proposing the following: add two (2) 6th grade FTEs at Alameda Middle School to keep class sizes at 30 or under, add one (1) Science/Math FTE and make the current .5 FTE Band position to a full 1.0 FTE (a total of 1.5 FTE) at Irving Middle School, add a .5 Science FTE at Hawthorne Middle School, and reduce 1 FTE at Franklin Middle School moving that FTE to another middle school. This results in a more equitable student-to-staff ratio and a net middle school staffing increase of three (3) FTE for the 2014-15 year.

2013‐2014 Enrollment Middle School School 6th 7th 8th Total Alameda 202 242 184 628 Franklin 244 228 266 738 Hawthorne 246 256 232 734 Irving 191 177 175 543 Total by Grade 883 903 857 2643 As of 2/12/14 2014‐2015 Projected Enrollment Middle School School 6th 7th 8th Total Alameda 236 201 238 675 Franklin 230 244 228 702 Hawthorne 257 246 258 761 Irving 217 191 180 588 Total by Grade 940 882 904 2726 As of 2/28/14

High School

The overall enrollment projections in grades 9-12 is anticipated to increase by approximately 77 students. Enrollment at Century High School will increase by 17 students, Highland High School will increase by 67 students and Pocatello High School will decrease by 7 students.

The following is proposed for next year:

Century High School bought out 4 teacher prep periods this year and needs to buy at least 6 teacher prep periods next year.

Pocatello High School had three (3) full-time teachers leave the District just before the start of the 2013-14 year and was unable to find suitable replacements which resulted in the need to buy out several teacher prep periods from multiple teachers to get through the year. I am recommending those three (3) positions be restored for the coming year in order to offer the number of programs that were not adequately replaced.

Highland High School bought out 8 teacher prep periods to cover the surge in enrollment this year but, with another increase projected next year Highland will need an additional FTE position rather than continuing to buy out prep periods.

In summary, secondary enrollment (6-12) is projected to increase by 83 students in the middle schools and 77 students in the high schools for a total of 160 students. The total net increase in FTE requested is four (4) for the 2014-15 school year.

RELEASED TIME

DATES (Adopted/Revised) GUIDE WORDS Lessons, music Adopted - June, 1991 Lessons, private Revised - January, 2004 Specialized Educational Programs Revised – March, 2014 Release Time

Specialized Educational Programs:

Upon written application by parent/guardian, or a student who has reached the age of 18, students who are enrolled in secondary schools may be released to take specialized educational instruction. Release must be from their regularly scheduled/corresponding educational class. Release cannot be more frequent than once each week. In order to receive credit, specialized instruction must be from a teacher who is endorsed/certified from the state accrediting agency. Students who attend specialized programs will not be counted absent from their regular class during that period.

Specialized teachers shall furnish proof of certification and maintain other records in accordance with those of the School District No. 25. Records would include but not limited to academic and attendance progress.

Private music teachers shall furnish proof of certification and other records, including student attendance and progress, upon the request of the building administration.

RELEASE TIME FOR OTHER PURPOSES

The Board of Trustees recognized the desire of parents to have their children released from school for a period of time for other purposes. Therefore, uUpon application of the parent/ or guardian or a student who has reached the age of 18 years, students in grades nine through twelve may be excused released from school for a one-period block of time not exceeding five periods in any week and not exceeding one hundred sixty five hours during any one school year.

SUBJECT: School Bus Bid Awards

On February 27, 2014, bids were opened for the purchase of four new 78 passenger conventional school buses. Four vendors were invited to bid. We received bids from two vendors.

Four 78-Passenger Conventional Style School Bus Less: Total Price per Trade-In Vendor Unit(s) Allowance Total Bid price Rush Truck Center $90,730.00 $8,000.00 $354,920.00 Western Mountain Bus Sales $93,574.00 $18,400.00 $355,896.00

Board Action Requested: We recommend the bid for four 78 passenger conventional style school buses be awarded to Western Mountain Bus Sales for a total of $355,896.00. The District has experienced challenges with service and warranty issues with Rush Truck Center during the past two years. Until sufficient time has passed where sustained improvement in service can be demonstrated, the Transportation Department recommends awarding the bid to the next lowest responsible vendor.

TO: Mr. Bart Reed, Director of Business Operations

FROM: Craig Leiby, Transportation Coordinator

DATE: February 28, 2014

SUBJECT: Recommendation to Award Bus Bids

Two qualified bids were received at the bid opening that was held February 27, 2014 for four 78 passenger school buses. Rush Truck Center's bid was for $354,920.00 and Western Mountain's bid was submitted at $355,896.00, a difference of only $976.00.

On a previous bid this year for two special education school buses, the district elected to award the contract to the higher bid from Western Mountain Bus Sales because of the poor service the district had received from Rush Truck Center over the past several years. Although we have recently seen some significant improvements from the service received from Rush Truck Center, it is still my recommendation to accept the higher bid from Western Mountain Bus Sales since we know the service after the sale will meet the district's expectations. Rush Truck Center has not had time to show that improvements in service are long term.

Dear Chair Gebhardt, Pursuant to Idaho Codes 33-127 and 33-1273, the Pocatello Education Association requests that negotiations reopen for the 2014-2015 successor negotiated agreement between the Board of Trustees of School District No. 25 and the Pocatello Education Association. The Pocatello Education Association bargaining team consists of three members and one alternate.

We offer the following dates for the commencement of negotiations: 1. Monday, April 7th 2. Tuesday, April 8th 3. Wednesday, April 9th (Members of our team will be out of town the week of April 9-13)

This past week, I testified on behalf of ISBA, IASA, and IEA SB1372 (Goedde) and SB1385 (Pearce) in opposition to this legislation. Rather than just testify in One Goes Way Too Far opposition, we offered an alternative to the legislation and we were hopeful we could kill it in Committee. However, despite As I’m sure you know, one of the biggest concerns with Idaho our best college try, we failed. We came within a couple of Core and the SBAC test is the transfer and storage of student votes of killing it on the House Floor and remain hopeful that data. As such, we knew there would be legislation this year to we can kill it on the Senate side. clarify those issues at the school district level.
