Dr. Angie White presented four sessions at the Kentucky Society for Technology in Education (KySTE) Conference which was held in Louisville March 9-11. Dr. White presenting Maker Spaces 101, Maker Spaces: You Have a Space, Now What? and Choosing the Right Learning Management System for Your District. Dr. White is available to support and provide professional learning on these and other topics in OVEC schools and districts. The Instructional Technology Network met on March 24th focusing on game design/coding. Weston Hagan from Let’s Start Coding! demonstrated a coding toolkit; Laura Raganas demonstrated Touch Develop, a coding program which is part of Imagine Academy; and Keith Barnes shared a summary of the gaming/coding sessions at KySTE. Participants also shared information from KySTE sessions attended. As follow up to the December Instructional Technology Network meeting which focused on Maker Spaces, a visit to a couple of Maker Spaces in Northern Kentucky was planned. On March 17th a group from OVEC districts visited Heidi Neltner’s Maker Space in the library at Johnson Elementary School in Ft. Thomas and the Northern Kentucky MakerSpace in Burlington. This was an incredible visit! Attendees witnessed classes in the library working on projects as a part of Project Based Learning (PBL) and how the makerspace was managed in a small library with limited resources. Attendees were provided a tour of the Northern Kentucky Makerspace by Ryan Kellinghaus in the afternoon. The makerspace has six rooms—Make Your Own…, Engineering, 3D Printing, Audio Engineering, Video Production, and Robotics. The Northern Kentucky Makerspace is hosting the World Maker & Inventor Expo on April 23, 2016 from 10:00-4:00 at Boone County High School which districts may choose to attend. The website for the event is www.themakerexpo.com.

EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN SERVICES
Progress Monitoring.....More than Just a Graph ! How do special educators develop an effective plan for monitoring student’s annual goals and estimating progress toward those annual goals? A plan must be in place which include the appropriate annual goals, specially designed instruction, data collected on a regular basis, monitoring and analysis of progress. This plan is called Progress Monitoring! So why progress monitoring? Progress monitoring measures progress toward annual goals and allows teachers to determine the effectiveness of the specially designed instruction. Through progress monitoring, instructional decisions are guided by analyzing the data and adjusting instruction to ensure progress continues. In addition, progress monitoring determines the current level of student performance in academic and non- academic areas, and this data is valuable for subsequent IEP develop as well as the reevaluation process and determining continuing eligibility. OVEC now provides a professional development opportunity for teachers designed to assist them in developing and implementing a progress monitoring system. Learning targets from this session will enable participants to :
Define & identify methods of measurement.
Collect, graph, interpret data using the aim line and trend line
Analyze data and make instructional decisions about student.
Develop a written analysis in order to communicate progress monitoring data
Develop a linkage between progress monitoring and writing present levels for annual goal development

COGNITIVE COACHING
Cognitive CoachingSM is a form of mediation that can be applied to professional interactions in a variety of settings and situations with the intention of enhancing self-directed learning. It is a composite of skills, strategies, maps, and tools as well as mental models and beliefs. It is also a model for classroom mediation to enhance students’ self-directed learning. Research on Cognitive CoachingSM has linked its implementation to increased student achievement, greater teacher efficacy and satisfaction, higher levels of teacher cognition
6
and professional, collaborative cultures. As a result of engaging in the Foundational Training, participants will develop understanding of three structured conversations for planning, reflecting, and problem-resolving. In addition, they will develop knowledge and skills for expanding teacher thinking. Participants are expected to attend all eight days of the Foundation Seminar. The training dates are August 18-19, September 15-16, October 13-14 and November 17-18. Participants can register by using the following link: http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=pl94kgsab&oeidk=a07ec7f8zrf6aa09523 Contact Tracey Harris ([email protected]) for more information.

Grant No-Cost Extension Request Submitted Kid-FRIENDLy Project Director, Donna Link, has submitted a request to extend the kF grant through the full 2016-17 school year (instead of concluding December 2016). This decision to request the extension was made after feedback from Points of Contacts and Superintendents. We expect to have a decision in March. Final Communities of Practice Learning Forum The final Communities of Practice Learning Forum was held February 23-25 at the University of Louisville Shelby Campus. The forum showcased the work of teacher leaders across both regions representing fourteen of the twenty-two districts. Teacher leaders shared their work on key topics such as self-paced learning, maker spaces, project-based learning, and how to use technology a tool to amplify student learning and as a management tool.

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH AND EFFECTIVENESS SYSTEM
Certified Evaluation Plans The passing of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in December 2015 will bring changes to components of the nation’s educational system. The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), along with individual districts and schools, will continue to work and adapt to these changes as new regulations are passed in regard to ESSA. In the interim, Kentucky must continue to implement the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Waiver through August 2016. As we await guidance from the U.S. Department of Education (USED), KDE has decided upon the following changes to Certified Evaluation Plan (CEP) requirements during this transition period. By May 15, any district that has not already done so, should submit a CEP using Other Professionals Growth and Effectiveness System (OPGES) for personnel decisions to: [email protected]. However, for the 2016-17 school year, it is a district decision whether to include District Certified Personnel (DC PGES) for personnel decisions. Additional guidance will be forthcoming as KDE receives information from USED. If you have questions, please contact Todd Davis at: [email protected] or 502-564-1479, ext. 4537.

OVEC/JEFFERSON COUNTY/KSB LEADERSHIP CONTENT NETWORKS
Science: In February our theme was “How can the EXAMINATION Of STUDENT/EDUCATOR WORK be supported as a routine for continuous improvement?” Teacher Leaders worked with teachers within their own buildings or districts to gather tasks and student work samples. Teacher Leaders analyzed and offered feedback to these teachers. In both ISLN and STLN we used scenarios featuring student work samples to determine congruency of tasks to our standards and instruction. The” rabbit task” can be used throughout districts in PLC’s to promote capacity in this area. We focused on using phenomena in science to teach the standards so that the science is more real world. Teacher leaders are working on units/tasks focused on phenomena as the compelling question and will bring work samples to the meeting in March. We looked at the Framework for Teaching and CHETL to calibrate the effectiveness of our instruction. We only have one meeting remaining please try to attend. I will have a draft of the science assessment system to share in March. Please contact me to work with individual teachers, teams, PLC’s or for any other support I might offer as teachers strive to fully implement the NGSS in your schools. Please contact me for any support I might offer at [email protected]. Social Studies: In March, teacher leaders participating the Social Studies network in OVEC will conclude their final meeting. They will be tasked with figuring out what supports will be needed in the future to continue to grow as professionals. The overall question “How can a DLT plan, support, and sustain structures and routines that promote continuous growth and improvement?” and we will arrive at this answer through the following targets.
1. Evaluate/refine the District Professional Learning Plan to ensure it focuses on sustaining quality professional learning for all in the coming school year and that it specifically addresses the effective roles of Teacher Leaders to achieving goals.
2. Refine structure/system for educators to learn together and communicate learning. 3. Utilize data collected to plan for implementation of HETL&A and HEPL for the 2016-17 and
sustainability. Will assist teachers to zero in a defining and implementing good practices within their classrooms, PLCs, and DLTs. In February Teachers used KASSS, the practices of inquiry, CHELT, and the FfT to build a task for single lesson within teams. These teams will teach their task and return this month with student work. Even though
11
some of the content is different, because of the flexibility of the KASSS standards, teachers were able to still have the same task. Ultimately we, as a group, will get to see how tasks, instructional choices, and student work are essential components of reflective teaching practices. This is a great group of teachers who are committed to their practice and it has been an honor to have been their facilitator over this past year. All information presented at the SSTLN can be found at http://ovecssnetwork.weebly.com/
COMPETENCY-BASED EDUCATION

1. Decide direction- how could we utilize Active Implementation to proceed with CBL in the region (Christel and Debbie)
2. Share KDE information from phone call (Tracey and Christel) 3. CBL Articles and resources (Molly) 4. Plan a conversation with OVSO (Everyone)
