Class, we talk about AI a lot here. Is it good or bad? Well, it's technology, so it is neither and both depending on the user. But what if we could consider it as *more* than a tool, and far less than a replacement for a teacher? Britni Walz, Instructional Services and Technology Director for CESA4, like Dr. Tim, views proper AI as an assistant. Today, Britni joins us to discuss the exciting work CESA4 is doing to bring AI to rural school districts in Wisconsin. These schools seek ways to engage each of their students according to their needs and interest. As any educated educator knows, that's a monumental task. Well, what if we pair teachers with an assistant who can build individualized lesson plans for each child based on that student's needs and interests? That might just work! As we discuss AI in classrooms more, we need to understand a few things. The first and most important is that AI is ultimately a tool, not a replacement for human engagement. AI grows more capable and nuanced each day, but it's still a tool. Rather than fearing that AI will replace teachers let's consider the second thing. Utilizing AI as an assistant has the potential to reinvigorate teachers facing creative burnout and to engage so many students who tune out of lessons that don't interest them!

“I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, and I'm loving it.” Dr. Wycondia West West Instructional Services 1st grade teacher (16 years), Reading Intervention “You don't know if you don't know.” Dr. Wycondia West began as a 1st Grade Teacher, transitioned into tutoring and after building the confidence to bet on herself, launched West Instructional Services. Over the course of her impressive career, she has shifted from early childhood education, to supporting students for ACT and college readiness, and now providing professional development for the teachers, giving them the tools they need to support all students. “Do what you can with what you have.” Although she had a great mix of diverse teachers growing up, a young Wycondia didn't know the history of her community, and the close connection to Africatown. Dr. West speaks on the freedom she felt after launching her company (although, entrepreneurship ain't for the faint of heart), connecting the dots for students as they face struggles and a message for entrepreneurial educators. Stay with your gift, find your niche… and remember, “If you can solve a problem, you got a business.”

How do you tackle the important work of creating effective policies and procedures in your library? While this sometimes seems like a daunting task it’s essential to keeping our organizations running smoothly. On this show, I speak with Carli Spina Associate Professor and Head of Research and Instructional Services at the Fashion Institute of Technology Library.  She shares valuable information on why policy and procedure writing is important, how to create effective workflow for this process, how we can evaluate what we already have in place, and how to introduce new policies and procedures to staff and the larger community.

Good morning and welcome to Montrose Fresh, the new podcast from The Montrose Daily Press. It's MondayDecember 14th and we're here to bring you a closer look at our top stories, events and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado. Today, our focus is on the two grants, totaling more than $951,000, that The Montrose County School District Board of Education recently accepted. Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com Before we begin, here's an event going on in Montrose this week that we're looking forward to.  On Friday at 5:30 the Rosemont Baptist Church invites everyone to come and enjoy "The Wonder of It All" - A Christmas Musical. Guests will be treated to beautiful Christmas music and a narrated enactment of the first Christmas story. This event will also be live-streamed on their website - RosemontBaptist.org, their Facebook page and on YouTube. Now, our feature story. The Montrose County School District Board of Education has accepted two grants, totaling more than $951,000. The grants are targeted to support and retain students. One $846,320 grant from the state has already been allocated for the district's use. They plan to implement everything this January. The City of Montrose has also awarded the district a grant in the amount of $104,765 for outdoor learning modifications. This one is funded through the city's allocation of federal Coronavirus Relief Fund - also known as the CARES Act.  In the most recent MCDS Board meeting the idea of keeping kids in school was emphasized. In the effort of keeping kids in school, the new funding will allow the district to purchase materials for two 30-foot yurts as well as materials for three 28-foot tipis. Yurts can be permanent or semi-permanent structures. For MCSD, the yurts and tipis will be used as an additional learning space so that students can maintain social distancing. Jessica Beller, the director of Instructional Services for Montrose and Olathe schools, said the outdoor learning center will be an evolving space. Over the next several years the space will eventually house The Forest Preschool, an after school program, the homeschool alliance program, and more. The yurts will accommodate up to 25 people at a time, which will not only fulfill a need during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also for years to come.  Beller said that this will lead us to an alternative pathway to learning that emphasizes outdoor experiences. The yurts and tipis will be placed on a vacant piece of property. These spaces will help to lower the risk of spreading COVID-19 because they will allow the school to keep groups of people together instead of cross-cohorting groups. Kendall Cramer, City of Montrose grant coordinator said the next steps involve entering into an agreement with the city. This process can take up to two weeks. The $104,765 CARES Act funds must be used by the end of 2020, because unused funds must be returned to the U.S. Treasury. Cramer stressed that the City of Montrose seeks to be a strong community partner and is pleased to be able to provide funds to assist with MCSD's needs during this unprecedented time. Next, here are a few other things going on in our community that you should know about. Northside Elementary School has transitioned to remote learning through the rest of December. After about two years in business, Froggy's Tacos will close. The owner said there was too steep of a drop in customers since the pandemic hit. Plans were introduced for Montrose's first DC fast charging station for electric vehicles. In just a few months EV owners will be able to charge up at a Tesla and ChargePoint station in the city. And finally, we know it's a difficult time to search for a job right now, so we're excited to bring you a new opportunity. Today's job listing is from Western Colorado Community College. They're looking for a Technical Instructor of Medical Preparation to join their team. The salary range is between 40-45 thousand dollars per year. If you think you're a good fit for the role you can apply online at coloradomesa.edu. That's all for today, thank you for listening!

Next Generation Science Standards represent an exceptional opportunity to revamp the way students learn science in our schools. My guest, Fred Ende, is the Assistant Director of Curriculum and Instructional Services at the P/NW BOCES in New York State. An ASCD emerging leader and science curriculum specialist Fred has a wealth of knowledge regarding science education, and education in general to share. During this interview, we discuss how the NGSS departs from traditional science education in terms of anticipating implementation in the next few years. Fred shares some real paradigm shifting ideas that will require fundamental change to successfully incorporate into our schools they include: Moving away from "canned lessons" Discontinue recipe following with "cookie cutter" labs Embracing longer term projects or portfolios Focusing on iquiry rather than content memorization "The days of multiple choice as a sole provider of data can't exist anymore. At the expense of easier to collect data we are not providing our students with the learning opportunities they need". - Fred Ende This is a must listen episode for any educators interested in improving their instruction with reagrds to scientific or design thinking. It is very apparent the Fred has carefully analyzed the issues surrounding current scientific education, and has developed some very astute ideas to correct these deficiencies.
