The Parent Communications group met on January 9th to discuss several topics. Dr. Worthington commented that 340 students are enrolled in the new high school career academies focused on subjects like business, plant and animal systems, computer programming, health science, media arts, and criminal justice. The academies offer a smaller learning community and integrate regular curriculum into specific subject areas. Dr. Worthington said the areas of study were chosen based on student interest and future job markets. Applications for the 8th grade students will be distributed in February. The meeting also covered challenges for online PARCC assessments and results from the annual parent survey question about staffing levels in schools.

In this time of tight finances, large admissions print budgets are logical areas for cost-cutting reviews. What would you do if you had no money for print materials to recruit students?
Review these pages and imagine a new recruitment communications plan using current and emerging technology and based on a strong recruitment-oriented website.
Imagine the impossible. In 5 to 10 years this future might be real.

In the US, over half the districts and charter schools have fewer than 1,000 students. 85% have fewer than 10,000 students. Do these schools have the resources and scale to afford modern data analysis systems, or will "big data" leave these small schools behind? Across the US, almost half the students are served by a district or charter school with under 10,000 students. Schools this size, and even many larger ones, rarely have the financial means to implement modern data analysis systems, while many larger schools have spent millions on advanced technology to drive academic achievement and operational efficiency. In fact, many small schools struggle with simple operational and accountability reporting. Is it acceptable for big data to leave the small schools behind? What can be done?
In this talk we will explore these challenges and get feedback from the audience on current challenges and potential solutions, including: federal and state initiatives such as State Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS), notably the Texas Student Data System; services provided through Regional Education Agencies / Service Centers; and the impact of emerging free or low cost data standards and software tools.

My slide deck from a guest lecture at the University of Toronto Scarborough's "New Ways of Work" course on October 28, 2009. Time slot was 2 hours of presentation, break, & Q/A.
Combined a deck from Refresh Events entitled "Entrepreneur versus employee" (http://bit.ly/2iBar) that was presented before I became an entrepreneur. Similar slides, different content.
Added a new deck entitled "10 things I didn't expect" to share more of what I've learned now that I'm in this world.
Enjoy! Contact me @skanwar or http://sati.sh if anything.

With a shrinking candidate pool, colleges and universities are feeling the heat. Recruiting the right students and keeping them on a path to a bachelor’s degree is easier said than done these days. From recruitment to responding to current tech requirements, keeping students engaged and focused until graduation is a campus-wide effort.

Project>Login: From Curiosity to CareerJay Collier
The demand for computing and IT professionals is growing nationally, and these are well-compensated careers for those who are passionate about technology. Unfortunately, in Maine, as elsewhere, too few young and adult learners are discovering this profession, mastering foundational skills, and gaining relevant experience to succeed.
Maine’s Project>Login has been working with students, teachers, and professionals to chart a course from curiosity to career: from playing and tinkering to making and studying to mastering the practices and competencies that will help them thrive in their future roles: at home, at work, and in the community.
How can we help young and adults learners discover, explore, and pursue pathways to the computing and IT profession?

1. Parent Communications Notes
January 9, 2014
The Parent Communications group met on Thursday, January 9, 2014. The high school college
and career academies were one of the topics for the meeting. Dr. Worthington commented
that there are 340 students enrolled this year. The new academies were modeled after the
STEM Academy at Kenwood High School. The academies offer students an opportunity to be
part of a smaller learning community within the existing school. Regular curriculum becomes
integrated in the academy subject areas. The new academies are: Academy of Business and
Finance at Clarksville High; Academy of Plant and Animal Systems at Montgomery Central High;
Academy of Computer and Game Programming Technology at Northeast High; Academy of
Health Science at Northwest High; Academy of Media Arts and Technology at Rossview High;
and Academy of Criminal Justice and Homeland Security at West Creek High. The STEM
Academy at Kenwood High School opened in 2010.
Dr. Worthington explained the selection of the areas of study for the academies was
determined by student interest inventories and a study of the existing and future job markets
for the areas of study. The application and communication processes for the academies were
explained. The academies were open for 9th grade students this year. Parent informational
meetings and distribution of applications for this year’s 8th graders will be taking place in
February. The STEM Academy has academic requirements in addition to student interest.
Students from each of the academies were present to talk about why they chose an academy
and to share their experiences. The students also explained ways their specific subject areas
are integrated into regular classwork. Dr. Worthington said the academies provide
opportunities to partner with local businesses which provide students with networking
opportunities, relevance, and deeper knowledge into the specific academic areas.
CMCSS Chief Technology Officer David Holman spoke about the challenges to the district to be
ready for the online PARCC assessment. He stated that CMCSS already has the wireless
network. The online assessment will require a computer for every student in the largest grade
level at each school.
Results of the annual parent survey were shared. The question of the month for January, “Are
schools adequately staffed to meet the system’s vision and mission? If not, what are your
concerns?” was discussed in small groups and feedback was submitted at the end of the
meeting.
