IEM October ES Agenda 2009/10

Please read the agenda, along with each of its links (all links available in ES Handbook for future reference) before your ES Group meeting and take any questions with you to the meeting. The agenda quiz must be completed in your ES WEBfiles BEFORE attending your ES meeting!

This agenda has been posted 10/12/2009 and the agenda quiz is due 10/26/2009.

 

Please note that if you must miss your ES meeting, you should inform your Area Facilitator and ES Advisor and make arrangements with another AF to attend another meeting that month. (All meeting times and dates are posted in the ES handbook along with AF e-mail addresses and meeting date, time, and location). If you miss the meeting altogether, you will be reminded of your responsibility to attend and will be held responsible for the information given at the meeting, plus you will need to earn 2 more PG hours in an optional PG session. If you miss another meeting, it will become a discipline issue and may result in a drop in your student load. We do not believe that you can effectively serve your students if you miss critical information about the school and your job. Thank you for making these meetings a priority as you schedule your time for this school year!  The ES Support Department.

 

1) Dates to Remember and Dated Duties

a) October 16, 2009 at noon; November 13, 2009 at noon:  Upcoming payroll Snapshot dates.  Any forms not entered by the office by this date will not be paid in the October 30 paycheck. The office needs approximately 3 days to get paperwork entered after they receive it. Plan ahead!

 

b) October 23, 2009: Complete your SCANTRON /WRAT tests for continuing students by the end of the testing window. New enrollees are still to be tested all year long as they enroll within 20 days of their enrollmentl!

 

c) October 26, 2009: Deadline to take and pass your October ES Agenda 2009/10 Quiz in ES Webfiles! 

 

d) CELDT deadline October 30, 2009: Check the info in your CELDT packets (if you received one from the office) for students who started at the beginning of the year. Return materials as soon as you have tested to Fina in the IEM Placerville office. Contact Fina if you find you will be unavoidably late.

 

e) October 31, 2009: Learning Styles Results Entry: Enter all of your students' LS results and your ES LS results in ES Webfiles by October 31, 2009.  See info flyer given to you in your All ES Meeting packet for entry details.

g) November 13, 2009: All ESs who were with us last year and wrote “ES Goals” on their ES Webfiles View/ES Detail page on the OG/SS Prof. Growth Goals tab are to enter a short written Progress report on how you have met your 2010 ES goals to date, and what you expect to do next semester.

 

h) November 20, 2009: Mail all  2nd semester Student Agreements to the office for those students who will continue with us next semester. Plan now for this! Remember also that faxed copies are not acceptable to the auditor, so please only send these in by mail. Also incomplete course info will result in an “error” designation for that student; do not send until the report card with course names has been created, all info is completed and signed and dated by all 3 required persons (2 for an adult student). If a student is in doubt, send in an SA and then drop them later as necessary. Please audit your own paperwork carefully before mailing!

 

i) November 20, 2009: For 1st semester graduates, you must submit (complete and click “DONE”) your Webfiles report cards with estimated 1st semester grades.  Yes, we know it is hard to estimate the grades and credits for some, but assume the best, and we can make changes later if needed.

 

j) December 4, 2009: Plan ahead to be able to submit the completed grad packet to your ES Advisor in one package and enter graduate updates as needed into ES Webfiles student Detail page.  The ES Advisors need this lead-time to be able to complete their job by the end of the semester. Email stuassign1@ieminc.org with the names of any 1st semester "planned grads" so that you empty student spaces may be filled asap for 2nd semester.

 

k) December 22, 2009: Remind your families of the deadline to provide to you their Persuasive writing assignment this month at your LR meeting. Give them any help they need to get started if they haven’t yet started. You may want to have the students do their writing while at the meeting with you.

 

2) Things to Do

a) Credit Summary on Transcripts: As your transcripts are being entered for your high school transfer students, remember that you are the one who does the credit summary. Info can be found here, and at the “HELP button in the transcript credit summary box in Webfiles: http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/carnegie/transcripts.htm . We expect that you will Code transcripts within 20 school days of their entry. Please review this report card/transcript document: http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/repcardtrans/repcardtranscogss.htm  and the Transcript Coding Webex as needed.

 

b) ES Webfiles “Create” vs. “View” Reminder: Use the “VIEW” tab once a document has been created for a student. Do not “create” a new document to go back to a document that you have already created.  On the view lists, please clean up duplicated SAs/report cards/LRs with same dates by deleting the ones you do not need. If the duplicates are left here, it will cause conflicts later in the year.

 

c) Email Reminder:

·         Remember to always run emails you are sending out to all of your families, or emails to correspond with a parent that may result in an “issue” by your ES Advisor first, unless you are using the sample email templates posted in the ES Resources!! This is for your support and protection!

·         Be aware that email you send/receive on your school work email address that mentions your students/parents by name are a part of the official student records for that student.  School email correspondence should always be professional and not divulge confidential school information to parties who do not have a right to that information!

·         Also, remember that we have asked that all school email going out from all school staff not include any non-essential information/colors/backgrounds/slogans/etc. Please also look at what is included on an email you may receive and delete any of these type items before sending out to others in our school or clients of the school.  At this time of year, we all are typically receiving email with, for example, political slogans/weblinks/other advertising attached to it.  This should be deleted prior to responding back, for example, to a parent or prior to forwarding on to your advisor.  “School email” should remain professional and school related only.

 

d) WEBEX Training Reminders:

·         Optional Webex trainings are on a limited space, first come, first serve basis.  After that, a waiting list is generated.  If you reserved a space, and cannot attend, please let the Webex instructor know ASAP so that your space can be given to the next ES in line.

·         At the Webex training or soon after by email you will be notified of what is required in order to receive the time credit for your PG for participating in this training. Until you have completed the small “assignment”, you will not receive the “hours” of PG. 

·         You may choose to attend a Webex training and not receive PG hours (For example, if you already have 36 hours) .  If this is the case, the assignment is not required.  Do notify the Webex instructor and your Advisor that you are not pursing the PG hours.

 

e) School-Wide Writing Assignment - November
Please instruct your parents to have their students do the optional “Mock Practice” Writing Assignment before doing the actual School-Wide Writing Assignment.  Students may use checklists and graphic organizers during any practice writing, but may not use them during their actual Writing Assignment to be turned into the school.

 

3) Training Items

a) Learning Choices

·         Review the CP Course Overview document on your own--bring questions to your meeting.

·         Review the Comparison of Learning Activities chart--bring questions to your meeting.

·         Review the EA Overview chart--bring questions to your meeting.

·         Review the GEA and EA documents posted in the ES Resources--bring questions to your meeting.

 

b) POs:

·         Create POs for: OG/SS ESs should ONLY create a Student or a Family PO!

·         School owned items: 

o    Please create school labels or write your school name or initials in permanent marker into all school owned (purchased with a school PO) non-consumable materials before giving them out to your family.  Just writing in a textbook does not make it consumable!

o    An item is consumable if it is meant to have one user and be written in/used up and has been used prior to leaving the school (work written in the LR from that school provided materials).

o    Use the new form in Webfiles  on View/POs detail link at the “Get Parent Receipt” button at the bottom of the page to check the items out to your family when it is ready to be delivered.

o    When an item is returned, you may use the form posted on the website to check out that item to another family: http://www.ieminc.org/genericforms/materialschkout.pdf.

o    The Webfiles database CURRENTLY only tracks items over $350 (ones an auditor could ask us to produce on a moment’s notice, so we must know exactly where they are at all times!), and we rely on and expect our ESs to track ALL school owned property.

o    Please keep any and all receipts of what you have checked out to your family in your student’s file.

o    The school admin make the final decisions on whether or not an item is consumable--if in doubt, contact your advisor before telling the parent a questionable item is consumable!

·         Mark in your POs! When you go to "view" POs, on the far right, you see which POs you have marked "complete" and which might still need your attention. A “Complete” might also mean a PO has been cancelled. Check through the ones not marked complete to see if you have forgotten to mark your received items in, or if you need to ask Vendor Relations to check on an item for you.  Complete a PO Inquiry on the PO Detail page to follow-up on an ordered item not yet received.  Remember the turn around time is 4 weeks (or slowest vendor’s timetable), so do not fill out a inquiry form until that time has passed, but do not let orders go longer than that without completing an inquiry.

·         Do not put extra info in the description area of a PO.  If student/parent/ES info is requested, it will state that in the notes area for that vendor when you create the PO.  If there are vendor notes, please read and follow them to save everyone time. Remember some vendors (K12, ALeks) require an additional form along with our school PO, which is posted on our curriculum/Vendor webpage.  Complete the PO first, then do the form as soon as that PO request has been assigned a PO number.

 

c) School Materials:

·         Remember to let your families know what school owned items must be returned when they are done using  them.  Do let them know that any consumables not yet used are school property, should they decide to drop from the school.  The more information a parent has "up front" the better! We must be accountable with the items we spend state dollars on!

·         Remind parents that you, the ES, must track and transfer all school owned materials, and therefore the family cannot lend out any school owned items to anyone, even another family enrolled in the school!  All materials  must be returned to you when they have finished with them, or you will have to send in a missing materials form and charge them for those school owned items!

·         Remind parents that if an item is not what they want/need, they cannot return it to a store themselves, or trade it for another items, they must give the items to their ES to attempt to return or exchange (if possible).

·         Remember as the ES, that you deal with PO inquiry to return an item, get a call tag for a return, etc.  DO NOT CONTACT THE VENDOR DIRECTLY, LET THE VENDOR RELATIONS DEPARTMENT DO THEIR JOB!

·         If you are in doubt as to whether or not an item is consumable, please contact your ES Advisor for assistance--do not "guess".

·         Use the sample email posted in the ES Resources handbook to send out to your families as a reminder of this.

·         Missing Materials form is available in Webfiles for items over $350.  If lost/damaged items are under that amount, use the generic MM form posted on the school website forms page. MM forms can be submitted to the office  at any time—don’t wait for a student to be ready to graduate or leave the school before submitting forms for items you know are lost or willfully damaged. Refer to this document for more information: http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/instrfunds/missingmaterials.htm.

·         Use Google Docs to share items with other ESs instead of storing them!

Step 1:  ES makes a google account using their iem address.  Go to www.google.com , click on “more” at top of the page and scroll down to “documents”.  You can sign up here.

Step 2:  Email Tracy Edwards (tedwards@ieminc.org) with your login account info and she will add you so that you have access.

Step 3:  If you have any problems accessing/using this--contact your advisor!

 

d) IF and the IF Calc chart: Please review this document at http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/instrfunds/if.htm . Note that the state only pays ADA on the first 140 school days. Go to View/IF Calcs in webfiles, choosing Track C,to see the amount of IF that can be spent on a student on the day they enroll.  Be careful not to give out inaccurate funding information to new enrollees who are starting after school has started.  Please print out a copy of the IF calc chart to carry with you. 2nd semester funding will be deposited in mid-November, and decreases from that point on. (IF Webex)

 

e) AESS and the AESS Calc chart:

·         Go to View/AESS calcs to see how much money your student will need to have in their account in order to enroll them in AESS A or B.  Do not submit an AESS form if the student doesn’t have enough money in your IF account to cover the expense. Select Track C for OGCS and SSCS. Refer to AESS policy for details at: http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/aess/index.htm .

·         New AESS Process: If you submit an AESS form and there is not enough IF available, you will receive an email from sa@ieminc.org letting you know it was not processed.  At the same time, stufund is notified to check for errors in your budget.  After that review, you and sa@ieminc.org will receive back an email either stating that an error has been corrected and the AESS form may now be processed, or that the AESS form may be processed on "X" date.  You will then need to respond to sa@ieminc.org with the new start date of your AESS contract. DO NOT GIVE A NEW START DATE to "sa" UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR EMAIL FROM STUFUND@IEMINC.ORG VERIFYING THE FIRST DATE YOU CAN START THE CONTRACT.

·         Cancelling an AESS Contract: To cancel an AESS contract, make a copy of your copy of the original contract you are  cancelling and complete in blue (or any non-black ink) the section of the form for cancellation of the contract.

·         Remember that dates for AESS A and AESS B for one student cannot overlap!  A student may only be on one AESS contract at a time--check your dates carefully before submitting paperwork to the office or processing of you contracts will be delayed.

 

f) Late Notices: Read about the late notices we have started running this month at: http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/esjob/latenot.htm .  The important information is, do not ignore a late notice! If there is an error, we want to get it corrected sooner, rather than later. Email right away with your advisor if you receive a late notice, then do all you can to get it corrected before the next week’s notices are run.

 

g) Learning Records: We reviewed LRs at the August All ES Meeting, but this section is a quick review and reminder for those ESs who are now receiving “Error” emails on their LR reviews. Use the LR checklist http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/learnrecord/lrchecklst.pdf to check your LRs yourself. Then correct your LRs ASAP and get into a good habit of writing excellent and professional LR’s every time!

 

1. Items not contained in the standards section that need to be added to the written section (Use the LR template for help):

  • Methods of assessment or evaluation needs to be recorded in the top section of the LRs
  • Specific school provided resources used in this study (PO items, classes, computer programs).
  • ROP course names with information
  • CP/GEA/HQT course names if school paid
  • Services paid for by the school must be listed on the LR (not the name of the business/instructor), with some information of what was done in that service.
  • A course without standards will need more details listed in the top section of the LR

2. Items that do not need to be written into the LR:

  • Special Ed services do not need to be listed in the LR, as they are covered in the students Special Ed IEP.
  • Time for any activity (we are performance based, not time based)
  • Any course taken at the community college that is not needed to count towards graduation or for NCLB certification (those only should be listed as community college).
  • Any sectarian instruction, as that would not be done under our school time.

3. How to enter info into the LR:

  • Use the LR Template button to set up your format before entering other info.
  • Use the past tense in your writings--remember this is what they "did", not what they are to do.
  • Use Bloom’s Taxonomy verbs as much as possible (http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/learnrecord/Bloomstax.htm )
  • Please use complete sentences, especially for high school LRs
  • Please use appropriate grammar
  • Use correct spelling and use spellchecker (this document may be seen by outside educational/legal entities)

(We recommend writing your “LR blurbs” in a Word document, spell and grammar check, then copy and paste into Webfiles)

  • Designate a Learning Choices activity with (EA).

4. Remember to document those wonderful things our students are doing, especially our high school students:

·         Real-world tie-ins

·         Cross curricular and integrated learning

·         Use of technology in their course work

·         Use of research-based curriculum, strategies, and best practices

·         Use of multi-sensory curriculum, selected to support the student’s learning style

·         Reading and responding to non-fiction, as well as their fiction literature

 

4) Messages from School Departments

a) IT/Website Changes/Updates:

·         View/CP Student List has been updated with tabs for easy viewing of your students enrolled in CP courses. Students who have been dropped from courses are now still listed in that course, but with a "Dropped" status. Use the Sort by ES Approval tab to quickly see which students are in courses not yet approved by you!

·         New on High School report card: On the Create or View HS Report cards, there is a new button to the left that says "Create New Report Card Line".  When you select this button, a new box will pop up that you complete just as you used to do directly on the report card.  This box was created to limit errors.  Please complete all info there before selecting the submit button.  You may also subcategorize this course at the same time that you enter it! This will then put that info on the report card. Reminder:  The report card, SA, and portfolio are all tied together.  To change/enter a course in any of these documents, you will now need to go to the report card and make your change there.

·         SAT – If you have any students who plan to take the SAT or SAT II, please direct them to www.collegeboard.com.  Information on testing dates, registration process, and all SAT testing information can be found at this website.  This year, we have many students who are planning to satisfy their a-g subject requirement through the SAT II subject test.

 

c) Assessment:

·         08-09 star reports for your students have been put into ES WEbfiles View/Testing. Please make sure to check their scores under the testing section so that you are aware of their status.

·         The CDE and ETS have developed an excellent STAR preparation website.  www.starsamplequestions.org. There are sections for both teachers and parents. Please spend some time reviewing this website and showing it to your parents. You will need to talk them through the “sample test questions.” Once you click the “Parents and community members” link then click “sample test questions” on the top of the page.  You will then be able to enter grade level, subject, and performance level. Performance level allows the parent to see the types of questions asked to achieve that level as well as the standards that specific question covered. It is very comprehensive. Please make sure your parents understand how to use the website.

·         Due to the CA state budget cuts, the Grade 4 CA Writing Standards Test and California Modified Assessment Writing Test are being eliminated, starting with the 2010 administration dates. There will no longer be a writing component for Grade 4.  The grade 7 writing assessments are still in place and will be given on March 2, 2010 with a make-up on March 3, 2010.  Please let your families who have 4th grade students know this new information.

·         If you have any questions  about proctor assignments or have arranged to change your testing date with another ES, please email Burke Wallace in the assessment department. Sara Satterfield is no longer working with proctor assignments. Burke can be reached at proctor.ogss@ieminc.org.

 

d)   CURRICULUM

·         HQT SME Courses – Changing Enrollment Dates
--Please remember to check and change the enrollment date when enrolling students into their HQT SME Courses.  The course enrollment date needs to be their enrollment date in the school or the first day of the course, 8/17/09, which ever comes later.
--If you are a new ES, please contact your Advisor and ask them to show you how to change the enrollment date upon enrolling a student BEFORE you click “approve”.  Once you click approve, you must email Shelley Ross, curriculum@ieminc.org, to have an HQT SME Course enrollment date corrected.

·         HQT SME Courses – Dropping a Student
--Please email Shelley Ross, curriculum@ieminc.org, to drop any student from an HQT SME Course. 
CP will not make the drop and will just send your email back to me for drop approval, which only delays the drop. 
--Shelley Ross does not do drops for regular CP courses.  You need to email CP regarding those drops.
--Please remember to email Shelley Ross immediately as the student drops from the school, to request the student be dropped  from the HQT SME Course.

--Reminder for any student (7th/8th grade or high school student) taking Algebra 1, for credit, not for creidt, for review for the CAHSEE, for any purpose at all, MUST be signed up with a SME!!

·         Online Vendors – ORDERING AND PRICING
-Please DO NOT go onto the Online Vendor’s website for ordering and pricing information until you have looked on our website first. ALMOST ALL of the online vendors give us special school pricing that is NOT posted on their websites.  They also give us different ordering procedures, as we order using school PO’s.
To find online vendor ordering and pricing:

--Look first in the PO Notes.  Ask your Advisor to show you this if you need help!

--Go to Vendor Information for links to many documents posted there.  Please read ALL posted documents there before ordering.  http://www.ieminc.org/handbook/curriculum/vendor/vendor_info_index.dwt

--If you have questions about how to complete your online vendor PO for ALEKS, K12, Odysseyware, or Learning Springs, contact Kirstine Larsen at iemtraining3@ieminc.org.

 

e) VENDOR RELATIONS

  • New Vendors since last month:  OGCS    SSCS

 

f) GEA

·         GEA protocols. ESs please review these issues with your families. If a family signs up for a GEA, they should consider themselves committed to that day and time unless illness or unavoidable circumstances arise. This includes free GEAs. At the last two GEAs for one of our schools, one third of the families did not attend. This makes our school look bad, as well as takes a space away from another family that  may have wanted very much to attend! Procedures to follow:

 1. Only sign up your student once you believe they truly want to go and will follow through!

2. Remove any students from the list if it is before the close date ASAP once you know they are not going

3. You may now give ES Approval while a student is still on the waiting list.  Funds are not encumbered until they move up to the GEA.

4. If they decide they will not go after the closing date, inform the family that the money for the event has already been removed from their IFs and cannot be returned to them. But, free up the space for another!

5. If they cannot make the date at the last minute, the ES should contact Mary Ann Shapiro (OG) or Lisa Voss (SS), and let them know in advance so the school person in charge of the GEA does not wait for them at the front door and/or try to contact them while they are waiting.

·         GEAS    

OGCS:

·         Monterey Bay Aquarium – November 2; 10:00am to 6:00pm. Monterey Bay Aquarium free homeschool day. 60 spaces available. One parent per child will be allowed in free. Other siblings and family members will pay admission at door. Go to http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/ for admission prices.

·         Opera San Jose - November 25 at 11:30am. The  final dress rehearsal for La Cenerentola (retelling of Cinderella) at the California Theater in downtown San Jose. 45 Free spaces – students and one adult per family. Go to http://www.operasj.org/ to investigate appropriateness of performance for age level. If we run out of tickets, families can go to the above website and ask if there are any tickets left. Email Mary Ann Shapiro at mshapiro@ieminc.org to reserve space. First come first serve.

·         OGCS Only: Spelling Bee - Ocean Grove will participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee again this year. If you have students who are interested, please make a list because we have to make arrangements for time and place of the first round(s) and we need to know numbers. If the numbers are large and the interested students are spread out, we will do 2 or 3 locations for the first round and have a spell off with the winners from each location. For eligibility please go to http://www.spellingbee.com/eligibility. Contact person:  MaryAnn mshapiro@ieminc.org.

5) Networking:

a) Watch your Curriculum Webex together and discuss questions.

b) Peer Help! Discuss help needed from each other for textbook ideas, CP classes, tutors, and other curriculum.

c) Portfolio/LR Networking Project:

·         This month bring 5 correctly labeled samples from a high school core area (that you did not bring last month) that show an example from "3g4. Learning Records" above. Also make a copy of your sample, label it with the WASC Evidence label and print out the learning record that goes with that sample.  In your groups be ready to share the sample, what you wrote in the LRs, and tell what criteria in 3g4 it fits.  Be ready to give suggestions/comments/critique to your group on their samples.   At the end of your meeting, leave your copies of the portfolio sample, with the evidence label attached and completed and your LR with your AF.  Take your "real" portfolios home to add to your portfolio envelope.

·         For ESs without students doing high school level work, bring a portfolios sample and LR fitting the above criteria, but no copy is needed, and nothing will be left with your AF.

·         You may bring a sample that you wish to have help on from your group.
