Hello. This is Tyrel Clark, I'm running for Minnesota House District 26B and I want to talk education.

As the husband of a teacher, I get to see first hand the hard work that teachers put into their classrooms long after the students have gone home.

We have hundreds of dedicated educators across our district, and they do incredible work to make sure

children have the best opportunities to succeed in this fast changing economy.

We can do our part to strengthen our support for both teachers and students by making sure they get the resources they need.

This starts by fully funding public education, so local schools do not need to cut school programs, teachers, and activities; or raise local property taxes.

Fully funding public education will ensure we continue to forge strong partnerships between schools and our local healthcare, manufacturing and farming industries.

These partnerships are essential to provide the training and growth opportunities that are so important to the future success of young children and our economy.

We can help to remove the financial barriers for higher education by working with existing programs in state public college options more affordable.

This includes exploring and enacting policy that lowers student loan interest rates in a way that ensures we don't prey on students in Southeast Minnesota

and lowering the cost so we aren't creating multi generational student loan debt.

Together we will take action and move our district forward.

My name is Tyrel Clark and I approve this message.

Death education for high school students | Dawn Gross | End Well Symposium - Duration: 1:56.

We started day one with an exercise that involved candy and an activity.

We told the students that each color candy that they're going to be handed represents

possible relationship where they may have already experienced a death.

Number one, red: a parent or sibling.

We asked them if that was true for them, to put it in the jar

Number two, orange. If they'd lost a grandparent, an aunt, uncle, or cousin, put it in the jar.

Three, yellow.

If they'd lost a teacher, or a counselor, or coach, put it in the jar.

Four, green.

A pet. Who here has not lost a pet?

Put it in the jar.

Just one.

You can eat all the other green ones.

You can keep them.

And fifth, purple.

Someone in the stratosphere, someone who's an icon for us in the public eye.

If someone died that meant a lot to you, changed your world, put it in the jar.

And then feel free to eat the rest.

Which they did.

We then held up the jar after it had gone around the room and every student had added

their appropriate colored candies and we said, what do you notice?

In every single classroom, every time the students noticed two things.

First, there were more candies in the jar than there were people in the room.

And second, every single color was in the jar.

Our job of creating context was done.

They realized that death had already touched them, was likely to touch them again.

Why I teach end of life education | Randi Belisomo | End Well Symposium - Duration: 2:54.

I was getting ready for work the day Carlos suffered his ultimately fatal pulmonary embolism

He was sitting with me while I was putting on my make up,

convinced I needed to go in to save my days off should things get worse

down the road.

Things were already worse, but we didn't acknowledge it.

Perhaps we didn't really even know.

That day, I was preoccupied with how I was going to get him to his chemo appointment

the next day.

We never paused to consider whether those four hours in an infusion room were the best

use of our time.

I spent the day of that chemo appointment I was concerned about at a funeral home conference

table, numbed by the events of the prior 24 hours.

Carlos was a great man.

His death was not.

His death from colon cancer drove my decision to enter end of life education and start Life

Matters Media with his oncologist, Dr. Mary Mulcahy, MD.

With the help of the Retirement Research Foundation, we launched our first neighborhood initiative

in Chatham earlier this year.

It is home to one of the most solidly middle class black communities in the city, with

one of the oldest populations.

More than 80 percent of them said that they had thought about the care that they wanted

at the end of life.

But more than half of them had not discussed those wishes with anyone.

Close to 500 neighbors have participated, mostly by taking part in our standard 4-program

series.

This isn't cutting edge stuff, but this is the design of a program that is working

in a population that many would have considered unlikely to design a better end of life experience

for themselves.

This isn't life that I would have designed or expected for myself either, and Carlos

certainly wouldn't have expected it for me.

But I think that he would be really happy that my life is in some way connected to trying

to fortify an often vulnerable time for a vulnerable population of seniors.

He was the kind of guy who would dance with every older woman at a party, especially if

she were there alone.
