Ward D, Kevin O'Connor - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 1:50.

We need to expand on the way we measure student success

and fulfillment.

In our current system, the measures we use for success

are limited.

They can be ambiguous, and can have

biased effect and influence on where we put our priorities,

and how we allocate our resources.

We need to develop ways to communicate student success

for all kids, at all levels.

Our measures need to be more inclusive and personalized

to student differences, interests, and aspirations.

For example, in the recent Alberta Learning Report

on Student Success, it showed, five years following

entry into grade 10, 60% of our students

go on to post-secondary or trades.

Although there is celebration in this number,

we should be concerned.

What about the other 40%.

We have no transition information for them.

It is time to develop, communicate student success

for all students.

Trustees need to be more engaged in the front line learning

of our school communities.

Again, in the recent Alberta Learning Report on Success,

60% of students, teachers, parents, and public

were not satisfied that their input is valued and respected

by the school jurisdiction and province.

This needs to change.

And, I have responded to how I will

do that in the last question.

Trustees need to be strong advocates

for educational funding.

We are living in a rapidly changing world

and our educational system is not

funded in a manner that provides the resources needed

to modernize and personalize learning

in a way that truly prepares kids for the world

after school.

2017 Online Advising 101 Lab: General Education - Duration: 4:23.

In this advising 101 module we will talk about the advising experience for you at Stetson as well as our general education curriculum.

What comes to your mind when you think about academic advising? As mentioned previously by

Dr. Painter academic advising is not just a procedure to complete your next semester registration at Stetson.

It's a deliberative process where you get to decide how to map your academic career.

Our expectation is that you will be an active participant in the advising process.

Advising is a collaborative process between you the student, your faculty advisor, career professional development and academic success, and peer mentors.

In addition you will take advantage of numerous on-campus opportunities from other partners that will aid your career exploration and development

while enhancing your academic career.

For instance, you may decide that you would like to study abroad and will need to work with WORLD to plan for that experience,

or you may wish to join a club sport and be a team captain and work with Wellness and Recreation.

Did you know that your major consists of approximately one-third of your degree? Your major is important

but it's not the majority of your degree. That means

two-thirds of your degree will allow you to explore numerous other areas. Therefore it is important to be

Intentional about what courses you take outside of your major. What do you want to learn?

What will be important for you to know and understand in your future career?

These questions should guide you as you pick courses to meet your general education requirements.

While at Stetson our general education curriculum will help you develop the skills of writing information fluency, speaking, critical thinking,

quantitative reasoning, knowledge of human cultures in the natural world, and personal and social responsibility.

We believe that every Stetson graduate should be able to have these skills. We also know that these skills will help make you more

marketable when applying for graduate schools,

employment positions, or other post grad experiences like the Peace Corpse, Teach for America, etc.

Why do we know that these learning outcomes for our general education curriculum will make you more marketable after graduation?

Well the National Association of College and Employers, or NACE, has identified these

competencies based on research conducted by

experts from the higher education and corporate world. These competencies include critical thinking and problem solving, oral and written communication,

teamwork, digital technologies, leadership, and professionalism.

As you can see these match very closely with our general education learning outcomes.

These outcomes are meant to close the gap between the students higher education and their career readiness.

Now let's look at what is required within the general education curriculum. The College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business

Administration, and the School of Music all require particular general education courses.

Generally there are three sections:

foundations, knowledge of human culture in the natural world, and personal and social responsibility.

If you're in the School of Business Administration or the College of Arts and Sciences your foundation courses include an

FSEM course, the writing requirement, and quantitative reasoning course, and the junior seminar.

The writing requirement consists of completing four writing enhanced courses - which are completed by your FSEM and JSEM courses.

You can then complete the remaining courses from an any subject area of your choice as long as they are identified as writing enhanced.

In the knowledge of human cultures in the natural world section you must complete five of the six areas.

These are reflected here on the screen and in your degree audit. These different areas are categorized by a capital letter.

For example, Creative Arts is categorized with the letter A.

It is important to take note of these letters as it will help you search for courses that meet these different criteria.

The Personal and Social Responsibility are requires an

additional course after your JSEM that meets the requirements of a Stetson values course, or the letter V.

Lastly remember you must obtain 24 cultural credits in order to graduate.

The School of Music has a different set of requirements

depending on your specific major.

Make sure you visit your degree audit for your list of requirements and visit the catalog for details on your academic plan.

Please advance to the next module.

Ward H, Nathan Ip - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 1:58.

I think infrastructure continues to be a challenge, particularly

balancing the challenge of underutilized schools in some

of our mature neighborhoods with the lack of new schools

and growing neighborhoods.

And I think over this past term our board has really

been on the right track in addressing

this issue through replacement schools

and advocating for more funding, certainly for more new schools.

And as a member of the infrastructure committee

I'm really proud of some of the work

that I've done in advocating for more infrastructure funding.

I think we need to continue to align our capital planning

processes or to work on aligning our capital planning

processes with the city and the province

because oftentimes what we're finding right now

is that we're years behind in addressing our infrastructure

needs and communities are growing faster

than the city can build them.

The second issue that I think is really important

is addressing the complex needs in the classroom

and making sure that as trustees we

continue to advocate for more resources in the classroom

and make targeted investments so that we can address things

like student mental health and ensuring that all students are

well supported and feel included and welcomed

at our new schools.

I'm also really proud that during my term

I've been championing the concept of schools

as community hubs and the opportunity

and the concept of building a school differently

with wrap around services like health care centers, libraries,

and some other community amenities.

And while this is not completely within the mandate

of education, it's really important

that we as elected officials look at issues

from a holistic point of view.

And I've worked very closely with other orders of government

during this term to look at how we can actually work together

to deliver infrastructure that serves the entire community.

And I hope to be able to continue

that work in the next term.

Ward I, Saira Wagner - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 1:09.

So the first priority I think that we need to work on

is infrastructure--

making sure that the classroom sizes are smaller,

making sure that there's more school space,

that every child has a desk.

So to me, that's my number one priority.

Secondly, I would think the funding formula for schools.

I think we need to look at making funding more financially

sustainable, whether that be looking

at how do we reduce duplication of services,

how do we make our operations more efficient--

these are the questions that we need to start asking.

And I think those are very important.

And thirdly, I think we need to also look

at helping kids with learning disabilities

and learning challenges, and really

look at how do we contribute to early screening

for these disabilities, so we can help those kids overcome

those challenges.

Ward G, Tyler Duce - What are the three most important challenges facing public education? - Duration: 1:28.

So the first great challenge we have here in Edmonton

is focusing on the fundamentals of education.

Our math scores have been in decline for years,

and we need to focus on why we send our kids to school

and focus on those fundamentals-- math, science,

literacy, and the arts and not on pushing political ideology

or fads in the school system.

I believe that, first and foremost, all school board

activity, and energy, and efforts need

to focus on those fundamentals.

Second is fiscal responsibility.

We need to ensure that every tax dollar that

goes into our school system is optimized to producing world

class educational outcomes and not being wasted,

for example, on the carbon tax.

I don't think it makes any sense to give money to the school

boards just to take it right back,

and it's costing Alberta schools $30 million

by the end of next school year.

That's money that needs to go back

into the classroom to help our kids learn the fundamentals.

And lastly is always putting families first in education.

Ensuring that the greatest support system

and network that student has is always close by.

No one cares and loves for their children more than parents do,

so let's not do anything that will ever

drive a wedge between caring, loving

parents and their children.
