What’s a typical day like for a Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) District staff developer?“I’m not sure there are typi-cal days,” says Karen Stull, staff developer at Medora Elementary. “My days vary greatly because I move from classroom to class-room as needed. “Most days, I’m in at least two classrooms for math in-struction. This can be in the form of actually teaching a lesson to model strategies for a teacher or in the form of co-teaching to support student mastery of a partic-ular learning target. I also work with two groups of students each day to help

master foundational skills. Throughout the day, I am available to plan with teach-ers or assist during math and science instruction.”Thanks to funding from a GE Foundation Developing Futures in Education grant, the JCPS School-Based Staff Developer Program provides math and science staff de-velopers to 24 elementary and 10 middle schools. All of the staff developers take on a wide range of tasks to support instruction and boost student achieve-ment. Stull says her additional duties include helping ad-minister district tests and analyzing data from them

GE Foundation funding supports staff developers at 34 JCPS schoolsto make instructional deci-sions. She also provides profes-sional development (PD) through embedded sessions and staff meetings, and she locates “any additional re-sources teachers need to teach math and science,” she says. “I work with a cohort of teachers from around the district to help with the successful imple-mentation of the new Com-mon Core State Standards in math.”JCPS staff developers know the strengths and the needs of their schools and can provide intense focus on these areas because, for most of the positions, they

were recruited from exist-ing faculty. Stull has been on the staff at Medora since 1998.“I taught math to various grade groups from second to fifth grade,” she says. “I was the math lead for Me-dora for about eight years, and I attended district math training and brought in-formation back to my col-leagues. “I also worked with district resource teachers to pres-ent math program imple-mentation training to third-grade teachers.”A 2005 GE Foundation grant of $25 million allowed JCPS

to begin implementing new, world-class curricula in math and science at every grade level. The district’s School-Based Staff Developer Program receives funding through a $10.5 million four-year ex-tension grant that the foun-dation provided in 2010.Besides supporting staff developers, GE Foundation funding also has allowed JCPS math and science teachers to receive targeted PD on the Common Core State Standards from na-tional experts, curriculum developers, and university partners.

The grants have supported a range of related activities, including Math and Science Family Fun Nights at many schools. The grants also have sup-ported middle school field trips to the Challenger Learning Center at the Academy @ Shawnee, where students experience a simulated shuttle mission to rendezvous with a comet or explore the moon. Click here for more informa-tion on the GE Foundation’s Developing Futures in Edu-cation grant.

Students develop a taste for scienceJCPS schools have imple-mented new, in-depth math and science in-struction during the past few years, thanks to the GE Foundation funding. Many schools also have begun offering more ac-tivities and clubs to show students that math and science can be fun. Wheatley Elementary, for instance, began offering a new after-school Sci-ence Matters Club this year. Third- and fourth-grade students have joined for five-week themes, such as Totally Toyriffic, Kitchen Chemistry, and Way Out Water. During the Kitchen Chemistry theme, students tasted

sugary, salty, fizzy, and bitter mystery liquids. The students recorded notes on a chart and rat-ed the effects of the liq-uids on their taste buds.As shown in the photo, the most visibly passion-ate reaction came when students tasted a strange

brown sludge, which they were surprised to learn was water with unsweet-ened cocoa powder.“The students love the club,” says Wheatley in-structional assistant Ja-mie Matheney. “We have a waiting list.” (continued on next page)

To join the Science Mat-ters Club, students have to compete in an aca-demic exercise. For ex-ample, students applied to Kitchen Chemistry by writing a short es-say about their favorite foods. Wheatley Principal Kristi Gregory says the club not only boosts enthusiasm for science but also in-creases students’ knowl-edge of underlying con-cepts.

“Students are able to make more real-world connections and get a deeper understanding of the science content,” Gregory says. “It goes one step further than the students get in classroom instruction,” she adds. “They are able to explain why something works instead of just tell-ing what happened.”Wheatley also hosted a family-oriented Science Night earlier this year.

One parent, Nia Somone Groves, says she at-tended the evening event to see what her fourth-grade son and his friends were learning. “I just want him to think beyond the surface,” Groves says. “It’s really interesting to me that [the instructor] is show-ing them ingredients and how things come about—like the fizz in soda.”

JCPS tobacco-free policy Q&AThe Jefferson County Board of Education (JCBE) has ap-proved a new tobacco-free policy that prohibits smok-ing and other forms of to-bacco use throughout the district. JCPS has had a policy for many years that prohib-its student smoking, but the new policy is for adults too. Here are answers to frequently asked questions about the new policy.When will the new policy go into effect?Mon., July 1, 2013Is the new policy just for JCPS employees?No. The policy is for every-one—parents, students, and visitors as well as district employees—when they are on JCPS property.Will JCPS schools or of-fices have smoking areas for adults?

No. Smoking will be com-pletely prohibited not only in JCPS facilities but also on all district grounds.Will the policy prohibit smoking after school hours?Yes. Smoking and other forms of tobacco use will be prohibited 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Will smoking be allowed at school events? No. Smoking will be prohib-ited even at such outdoor events as football games—even in the parking lot.Can adults smoke if they are away from school on field trips?

No. Adults will not be al-lowed to use tobacco prod-ucts when they are away from school property and students are present.Will the new policy ap-ply to community groups that use JCPS facilities?Yes. Members of community groups will not be allowed to use tobacco products on JCPS property even after school hours.Why is it important to make JCPS schools and offices 100 percent to-bacco-free?A comprehensive policy ensures that students are not exposed to secondhand smoke. It also helps reduce youth smoking and makes sure adults model a tobacco-free lifestyle on JCPS properties.

Seneca High students hold first mock trial in new courtroomIn February, Seneca High pre-law students held their first mock criminal trial in the school’s new courtroom, which includes a judge’s bench, tables for opposing attorneys, podiums, and a jury box.

The pre-law students played the roles of juror, attorney, witness, bailiff, and even the victim, who testified against a man who she said robbed her on the sidewalk and took a valuable neck-lace.

The students scrutinized depositions, drafted open-ing and closing arguments, compiled questions for wit-nesses, and scrutinized logical gaps on both sides of the case.The school’s Pre-Law Mag-net Program, now in its second year, is overseen by two teachers—Emily Fritts and Justin Cornell—who are also attorneys. The new courtroom “gives students a wonderful head start,” Fritts says. “They’re learning how to do the skills that I didn’t learn until my first year of law school.”

Nominations accepted for Teacher of the YearNominations are now being accepted for the Kentucky Teacher of the Year Awards sponsored by KDE and Ash-land Inc. Parents, students, and other educators can nominate any full-time pub-lic school teacher with at least three years of experi-ence.Judging will occur in August, and as many as 24 teach-ers will be honored with the Ashland Inc. Teacher Achievement Award. Ad-ditional interviews and site visits will be held for nine semifinalists in September.

Teacher Achievement Award winners will each receive $500. Two of the three fi-nalists will receive $3,000. The Teacher of the Year will receive $10,000, and he or she will represent Kentucky in the national competition. You can submit a nomi-nation on the Kentucky Teacher of the Year Web site simply by entering the teacher’s name and a brief explanation of why you think he or she should be selected.Last year, Allison Hunt, social studies teacher at

duPont Manual High, was named the Kentucky High School Teacher of the Year.

Strategic Plan: Vision 2015Strategies to maintain safe, resourced, and fully equipped schools

The JCPS Strategic Plan: Vision 2015 in-cludes goals in four focus areas: Increased Learning; Graduation and Beyond; Stake-holder Involvement/Engagement; and Safe, Resourced, Supported, and Equipped Schools. Each issue of Parent Connection highlights the strategies that the district is using to meet one of the goals or the measures it is using to track success. This month, the focus is on Goal 4. To read the complete strategic plan, click here.

Focus Area: Safe, Resourced, Supported, and Equipped SchoolsGoal: All schools are staffed, resourced, and equipped to support student needs.

Strategies: • Review and revise JCPS Board policies

as the basis for quality educational pro-grams and practices.

• Create Central Office structures and services to support high performance in all schools per Recommendation No. 1 of the Curriculum Management Audit and the Level II Organizational Review. En-sure that Central Office services exist to support and foster student achievement.

• Provide equal access to programs, services, and opportunities to advance achievement for all students.

• Develop a comprehensive system of proactive student supports and inter-ventions to ensure that all students are safe, feel secure, and possess a sense of belonging—primary foundations for learning.

• Develop and implement a three-year budget spending plan and a five-year overall revenue projection that aligns

district- and building-level resources to curricular goals, strategic priorities, and financial responsibility for the return on investment.

• Collaborate with the Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA), the Jef-ferson County Association of School Ad-ministrators (JCASA), and the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to de-velop and implement a teacher and principal evaluation system to pro-mote effective student instruction and achievement.

• Provide, monitor, and support Cultural Competence training (that includes pedagogical strategies) for 100 percent of staff. Utilize the expertise of JCPS staff, community partners, and institu-tions of higher education to develop the training.

• Retain and recruit high-quality staff who reflect the diversity of the stu-dent population.

• Create a system of targeted pro-fessional development. Assess the impact (footprints) of the professional development on the students’ desks. Our formula is: Teacher Talent + Profes-sional Development = Improved Student Achievement.

• Create a system of support for col-laboration in Professional Learning Communities.

• Create structures for ongoing en-gagement of stakeholders.

• Create communication strategies to inform and to rally all citizens of Jeffer-son County.

JCPS has more nationally certified teachers than many major citiesMore than three dozen JCPS teachers earned certifica-tion this year from the Na-tional Board for Professional Teaching Standards. This brings the district’s total of National Board Certi-fied Teachers to 266, which means that JCPS leads Kentucky and is among the leading districts in the na-tion in terms of the number of educators who’ve earned the certification. In fact, JCPS has more teachers with National Board Certification than the school districts in Philadel-phia (152), San Francisco (260), and New York City (180).Earning the certification re-quires 300 to 400 hours of work to complete a portfolio and study for assessments. The entire certification pro-cess can take one to three years to complete.The following JCPS teach-ers received the certification this year:• Elementary schools: An-

gela Allen (Coral Ridge), Susan Baucom (Chancey), Jennifer Baum (Sanders), Angela Billiter (Middle-town), Leanna Brennick (Young), Susan Buehner (Brandeis), Venita Bur-nett (Blake), Shelia Ciar-lante (Chancey), Shannon Crutcher (Coral Ridge), Sarah Cunningham (Mid-dletown), Tiffany Embry

(Eisenhower), Jennifer Funk (Kerrick), Kerri Gray (Kerrick), Lauren Hoard (Stonestreet), Adrienne Matson (Stopher), Brianna Moss (Shacklette), Kelly Russell (Maupin), Ann Ni-cole Smith (Greathouse/Shryock), Kimberly Spivey (Kenwood), Jennifer Todd (Frayser), and Leslie Woo-ten (Wilder)

• Middle schools: Tonya Artman (Ramsey), Eliza-beth Best (Westport), Julie Fox (Lassiter), Michelle Lowe (Moore Traditional School), Michelle Purlee (Olmsted Academy North), Valerie Rueger (Ramsey), Deborah Russell (Las-siter), and Valerie Watson (Noe Middle)

• High schools: Scot Entri-can (Jeffersontown), Sally Ann Francis (Jefferson-

town), Lisa Garrett (Fair-dale), Allison Hunt (duPont Manual), Emily Nall-Crist (Western), Paul Shepherd (Ballard), Renee Shumate (Jeffersontown), Scott Wade (Atherton), and Ann Walsh (Central)

The following teachers re-newed their National Board Certification: Jonathan Baize (Central High), Bet-sey Bell (Manual High), Jameson Bowden (Eng-lish as a Second Language [ESL] Newcomer Acad-emy), James Gilbert (Cen-tral High), Jennifer Kiser (Meyzeek Middle), Katherine Welch (Western High), and Jeffrey Wright (Louisville Male High).Renewal, which is good for ten years, involves a rigor-ous process similar to the original certification.

These are just a few of the JCPS teachers who earned Na-tional Board Certification this year.

Atherton students win Penguin BowlA team of Atherton High students won first place in the Penguin Bowl, 1 of 25 regional competitions that tested students’ knowledge of ocean science. Team members Megan Schrader, Alida Roorda, Molly White, Kaelin Kinney, and John Kolb are now pre-paring to compete in the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, which will be held this month at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. The team’s coach is Ather-ton teacher and Marine Bi-ology Program coordinator Barbara Bennett. Parent volunteer Dr. Julie Toner serves as assistant coach.

Students win region-al spelling beeCamerron McPherson, a third grader at Shelby Tra-ditional Academy, won first place in the annual Western Kentucky Regional Deaf and Hard of Hearing Spelling Bee. Josefa Lopez, a student at Auburndale Elementary, won second place. The competition, held in Bowling Green, included 35 students from 11 school districts. Camerron and Jo-sefa competed in the third- and fourth-grade division.The students participated

with help from JCPS itiner-ant teachers of the deaf Emily Lomax and Christy Delk, Shelby teacher Laurin Metcalf, and interpreters Rebekah Board and Kara Herdt.The Deaf and Hard of Hear-ing Spelling Bee is the only competition of its kind in Kentucky.

PRP Choir sings with ForeignerThe PRP High School Choir performed on stage with Foreigner during the rock band’s February concert at Belterra Resort and Spa in Belterra, Indiana. The choir, directed by Phil-lip Jennings, won a com-

You can listen to the choir singing the chorus from Foreigner’s 1984 hit “I Want to Know What Love Is” in a clip from their audition tape on the radio station’s Web site.Another JCPS group also has sung with Foreigner. In 2010, the Eastern High Choir performed with the band at Belterra.

Brown School stu-dents sweep essay contest awardsBrown School students Hunter Spurlock, Marlee Renn, and Sammie Ashby earned first-, second-, and third-place honors, respec-tively, in the middle school division of the 2013 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Essay Contest.

Sponsored by the Gov-ernor’s Office of Minority Empowerment, the contest accepted entries from stu-dents throughout the state.

Hunter, Marlee, and Sam-mie received U.S. Savings Bonds and were honored on January 17 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Cel-ebration in Frankfort.

The contest theme was “Moving Beyond the Dream to Brighten the Future.” The essays had to be inspired

by a Dr. King moment or speech, and they had to ex-plain how the students have been inspired to shape their lives and communities.

The essays were judged on purpose, awareness of audi-ence, idea development, and organization.

Eastern student is nation’s second- highest scorer on business examJoseph Kline, a student at Eastern High, earned the second-highest score in the nation on the Principles of Business portion of the High Schools of Business Exam, which is offered by the MBA Research & Curriculum Cen-ter. The three-year High Schools of Business Program takes students through a college-preparatory curriculum de-

signed to guide them into private-sector opportunities or on to a college business major.

Joseph is a student of Jodi Adams, who began teach-ing business and informa-tion technology at Eastern in 2010 and helped launch Kentucky’s first High School of Business. Last year, Adams received the Outstanding New Ca-reer and Technical Teacher Award from the Kentucky

Association for Career and Technical Educators.

Psychologists earn state honorsTwo JCPS psychologists re-ceived top awards from the Kentucky Association for Psychology in the Schools (KAPS). Susan McGurk received the KAPS Psychologist of the Year Award. It recognizes outstanding leadership, ex-tensive professional exper-tise, accomplishments, and dedication to the profession. Amy McClain received the KAPS Regional Award. It recognizes school psycholo-gists who provide high-quality services to students, parents, and school staff.
