Preparing kids for the path to innovation

We are at a unique place in time whereSTEM initiatives are influencing the fu-ture economy. Unfortunately, these initia-tives are widening the gap between whatstudents are learning in school and theskills they will need to thrive in a new dig-ital and hyper-connected world. In a recentstudy, the Association of American Col-leges and Universities highlighted that 93

percent of the employers (non-profit andfor-profit) surveyed felt that thinking,

complex problem solving and communi-cation skills were more important than acandidate’s undergraduate major. Smartcities, life sciences, nanoscale technology,cross-border collaborations, space explo-ration, power and green propulsion, ad-vancements in chemistry and materialsscience, cybersecurity, mobility, energyand renewables, robotics cinematography,

and data driven applications are creatingunprecedented opportunities for our futureworkforce. They will be challenged to usetheir creativity (imagination and designthinking) and teamwork skills to becomethe next generation of innovators and lead-ers.

Creativity is def ined as the interactionamong imagination, cognitive presence,ego-strength, conation, aptitude, process,domain engagement, and environment bywhich an individual or group follows thecreative process to produce an accepted

product that is both novel and useful as de-fined within a personal or social context.It is critical to our society’s advancement,which is why we need to provide students

with opportunities that foster their curios-ity and creativity. At Destination Imagina-tion, we’ve been helping students learn thecreative process from imagination to inno-

vation for more than 30 years. Our chal-lenge-based afterschool program comple-ments in school curriculum and teachesstudents the skills needed to bring a novelidea to fruition, including risk taking, self-assessment, learning from failure, projectmanagement, and collaborative problemsolving. By giving kids this opportunity,they will learn how to face future challenges

and opportunities with confidence.More than 150,000 students worldwide

participate in Destination Imagination eachyear.

Parents, teachers and administrators whoare interested in learning more about Desti-nation Imagination may contact them [email protected] or by phone at 1-888-321-1503.

Months after students lastschool year took the new Partner-ship for Assessment of Readinessfor College and Careers standard-ized test, the Eastern CamdenCounty Regional School Districtwas able to release the district’sscores at its Dec. 16 Board of Edu-cation meeting.

Last year, PARCC replaced theformer standardized High School

Proficiency Assessment exam forthose in grade 11, and the PARCCwas also administered to those ingrades nine and 10 as well.

PARCC, which is an entirelycomputer-based exam, tested stu-dents in English language arts lit-eracy and mathematics.

District director of curricu-lum, instruction and professionaldevelopment Robert Cloutier pre-sented the scores to the boardalong with some additional infor-mation and notes from the state.

Cloutier said the state waspleased that students at lowergrades levels – grades threethrough eight also took theexam – were doing well, as thePARCC standards were new andthe test was their initial exposureto them.

However, he conversely notedthe state recognized since ninth-,10th- and 11th-grade studentshave not have had exposure to thestandards their entire education-al career, the state acknowledgedit would take more time for sec-ondary educational scores to in-crease.

Scores on the PARCC exam fellon one of five scoring levels, andCloutier explained anything inlevels four and five on PARCC isequivalent to the old standards of proficiency for the HSPA.

Cloutier compared Eastern’sEnglish language arts literacyscores to those achieved at thestate level. For the English lan-guage arts literacy exam, Clouti-er said 40 percent of Eastern’sninth-grade students scoredequal to level four or greater,

which was equal to the state.For Eastern’s 10th-grade stu-

dents, Cloutier said 38 percentscored equal to level four orgreater, which was almost equalto the 37 percent score from thestate. For Eastern’s 11th-gradestudents, Cloutier said 15 percentscored equal to level four orgreater, which was below the 24percent score from the state.

Cloutier noted that as the dis-trict knew from last year, the ma-

jority of Eastern’s students chosenot to participate in the PARCCexams. According to Cloutier,more than 50 percent of Eastern’sfreshmen participated, less than50 percent of sophomores partici-pated and only 121 out 514 juniorswho could have taken the test didso.

“Just around 20 percent of our juniors participated, but honestly,watching our students taking thetest, they might have been in theroom, but I don’t how many of

them committed to doing theirabsolute best since they were in aroom for six days taking the testfor the first time,” Cloutier said.

In an effort to make our community saferby reducing the incidence of drunk driving,Voorhees Township will join the EveshamSaving Lives Program for a 30-day trial peri-od through Jan. 15.

At a press conference on Dec. 15, mem-bers of the Evesham and Voorhees localgovernments, police departments and busi-ness associations announced the partner-ship, the first of its kind in the country.

In September, Evesham Township andUber unveiled a new initiative which cov-ers the cost, through a mix of contribu-tions from local foundations, donors andbusinesses, for Uber rides home from Eve-sham’s restaurants and bars during the

hours of 9 p.m. – 2a.m. Two monthsinto the pilot pro-gram, DWI arrestsin Evesham havedropped by morethan 66 percent.

No tax dollarsare used for the pro-gram.

Voorhees willhave a reciprocalarrangement withEvesham. Uber ve-hicles will providefree rides home to

either Voorhees or Evesham residentsfrom participating establishments in bothtownships.

During the trial period, any Voorhees orEvesham resident who opens the Uber appat one of the participatingrestaurants/bars will see a “safe ride” op-tion at the bottom of the screen. A freeUber ride home will be provided. The freeservice will not be provided from one es-

tablishment to another.Voorhees Police Chief Lou Bordi is a

strong proponent of the program since itnot only saves lives, but also saves our po-

Since September, Evesham Town-

ship has been helping to save

lives – quite literally, in its

words. That month, the township

launched a pilot program funded en-

tirely through private donations from

businesses, groups and even citizens

that provided residents of the town

with a free ride home from a township-

based bar or restaurant if they had too

much to drink.

The program, called Evesham Sav-

ing Lives, partnered with popular DD

services such as Uber and BeMyDD to

keep potential drunk drivers off the

streets.

The program worked well in the ini-

tial pilot stage, and so, it was expanded

another month. And then another. And

another. In the program’s first 100

days, officials said 800 residents used

the service. Only two of the Evesham

residents arrested for DWI during that

time came from any of the 19 locations

in town where the program is avail-

able. Before the program started, near-

ly 60 percent of those arrested for DWI

in Evesham were residents of the

town. During the program, that num-

ber dropped all the way to 5 percent.

Last week, Voorhees Township, Eve-

sham’s next-door neighbor but across

county lines, partnered with Evesham

to jump on board the program. Now,

residents of either township can get a

free ride home from any establishment

in either town to keep them from mak-

ing the dumb decision of getting be-

hind the wheel while they are im-

paired.

This new partnership is set to run

through Jan. 15, with donations fund-

ing it through that time. Evesham

Mayor Randy Brown, a Republican,

has said he’ll make sure it continues in

his town indefinitely, and Voorhees

Mayor Michael Mignogna, a Democrat,

is happy to offer the program as well.

The Saving Lives program is a won-

derful example of bipartisan politics:

A Republican-controlled town govern-

ment in one county partners with a De-

mocrat-controlled town government in

the next county over to do what gov-

ernment is intended to do – help keep

its constituents safe.

This is a highly commendable pro-

gram – one that works, both in theory

and in practice. The two town govern-

ments should be thanked, but so, too,

should the generous unnamed busi-

nesses, groups and residents who have

provided the donations to run it.

Now, the next step should be expan-

sion again – maybe with the help of

more towns, counties or even the state,

who could provide funding so private

donations weren’t needed.

Let’s make this happen.

in our opinion

DD program should expandTowns, counties, maybe ev en state should look at Evesham, V oorhees initiative

Have a safe and greenholiday season

Now that the hol-

iday season isupon us, I wanted

to share with yousome of the best

ways to dispose of cards, wrapping

paper, trees andold products re-

placed by newpresents. This

time of year, the best gift youcan give is a clean and green en-

vironment for future genera-tions.

Did you know that from

Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day,household waste increases bymore than 25 percent? That adds

up to an additional 1 milliontons of waste a week in our na-

tion’s landfills. That is why it isimportant not to forget about the

environment as we celebratewith family and friends.

We know that there will be acritical mass of new electronics

purchased this year. As a re-minder, state law prohibits mu-

nicipalities from picking upthese items in the curbside

trash. To make recycling moreconvenient, Camden County res-

idents can drop off their un-wanted televisions, computer

equipment and electronics at thePCFA in Pennsauken every busi-

ness day. If you are replacingold electronics with new ones

this season, drop off your itemsto be recycled at 9600 River Road

in Pennsauken, during thePCFA’s normal business hours

Monday through Friday from7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Recycling

these items will prevent harmfulmaterials such as lead, mercury,

cadmium and chromium frombeing released into the environ-

ment.Half of the paper America

consumes each year is used towrap and decorate consumer

products. The 2.65

billion cards soldeach year in this

country could fill afootball field 10 sto-

ries high. Thesecards and wrap-

ping paper can beplaced with your

paper recycling un-less they are wax-

coated or made of foil. Otherpaper goods accumulated

around the house during the hol-idays can be recycled using the

same guidelines. Why not save

the larger pieces of wrappingpaper to reuse the next time youneed to wrap a present? This

method of recycling is not onlybetter on the environment, but

on your wallet as well.Each year, 50 million Christ-

mas trees are purchased in theUnited States. Of those, about 30

million wind up in a landfill. Todetermine the proper way to dis-

pose of your Christmas tree thisyear, please contact your munic-

ipality. If you compost, reduceyour tree into smaller sections

before adding it to the pile. As analternative, consider purchasing

a live tree with a root ball so thatit can be planted in your yard

and enjoyed by your family foryears to come.

We can all do our part to keepthe environment healthy and

green this holiday season.If you have any items that are

in question, please call the Divi-sion of Environmental Affairs

at (856) 858-5241 or visitwww.camdencounty.com. If you

have any other questions aboutCounty services, please call me

said.Mignogna echoed Brown’s sen-

timents, calling the program agreat idea and one that wouldhelp keep residents safe.

“It takes police time that wouldnormally be spent on DWI arrestsand allows those cops to use theirtime on other safety measures,which I believe is very importantand is another reason why our po-lice departments are so in favor of this program,” Mignogna said.

According to Voorhees Chief of Police Louis Bordi, roughly 30percent of Voorhees DUI arrestsper year involve Voorhees resi-dents, and another 12 percent in-volve Evesham residents.

From seeing the results Eve-sham has had with the program,Bordi said he and his departmentwere excited to have it brought toVoorhees.

“Anything steeped in safety

like this and giving people op-tions rather than driving afterthey’ve had some drinks or givingthem options when they don’tnormally have them is a win forus,” Bordi said.

While the program is sched-uled to last through Jan. 15,Brown and Mignogna said each ishopeful it would continue pastthat date.

“Based on what has happened inEvesham, we believe that the pro-gram will be successful, and wewill find a way to continue withthat program,” Mignogna said.

Specifically for Evesham,Brown said the program wouldlast as long as he was mayor.

“I’ve made that commitmentnow. We can make this programwork,” Brown said.

The following message comesfor the Voorhees Township PoliceDepartment:

Law enforcement officers fromthe Voorhees Police Departmentwill be cracking down on drunkdrivers as part of the 2015 YearEnd Holiday CrackdownStatewide “Drive Sober or GetPulled Over” campaign. Runningthrough Jan. 1, local and state lawenforcement officers will conduct

sobriety checkpoints and rovingpatrols, looking for motorists whomay be driving while intoxicated.

“Drive Sober or Get PulledOver” is a national campaign de-signed to raise awareness aboutthe dangers of drinking and driv-ing through high-visibility en-forcement and public educationtools, including posters, bannersand mobile video display signs.

Launched across the U.S. in 1999,the program works to combatdrunk driving during the busysummer travel season, includingthe Labor Day holiday period.

“More than 10,000 people arekilled in the United States eachyear in alcohol-impaired drivingcrashes, and these crashes costour society nearly $50 billion an-nually,” said Gary Poedubicky,acting director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety. “There is

a zero tolerance message for thiscampaign. If drivers are caughtoperating their vehicle while im-paired, they will be arrested.”

In 2013, alcohol-impaired fatali-ties accounted for 27 percent of New Jersey’s motor vehicle fatali-ties. As part of the initiative, theDivision of Highway Traffic Safe-ty provides grants to local law en-forcement agencies throughout

the state to run the two-week cam-paign.

Law enforcement agencies par-ticipating in the Drive Sober orGet Pulled Over 2015 Year EndHoliday Crackdown offer the fol-lowing advice:

• For those who plan to drink,designate a driver, someone whowill not drink alcohol, beforegoing out.

• Take mass transit, a taxi orask a sober friend to drive oneself

home.• Spend the night where the ac-tivity is held.

• Report impaired drivers tolaw enforcement. In New Jersey,drivers may dial #77 to report adrunk or aggressive driver.

• Always buckle up, every ride,regardless of seating position inthe vehicle. It’s the best defenseagainst an impaired driver.

• If intoxicated and travelingon foot, the safest way to get homeis to take a cab or have a sober

friend or family member driveone to their doorstep.

ed as the literacy/adult educationcoordinator for the library.”

Camden County FreeholderIan Leonard, who has champi-oned education and literacy,talked about the importance of De’s work and the impact it hason the public.

“This is another example of

our employees and librariansgoing above and beyond and dedi-cating themselves to the very bestof public service,” Leonard said.“Helping someone to earn a highschool diploma or learn how toread is imperative for them to besuccessful, and I believe thisrecognition solidifies the signifi-cance of her work.”

Since becoming a librarian in2007, De has been actively in-volved in providing educationprograms for the customers of

Camden County Library. She ini-tiated a number of successfuladult programs including a series

of best-selling author visits, writ-

ing workshops, large-scale out-reach services to assisted-livingcommunities and popular ESLconversation classes that she fa-cilitates on a weekly basis.

Her work includes developingand conducting a U.S. citizenshipprep course in partnership withthe state Department of Immigra-tion, and an oral biography proj-ect at some of the local senior citi-zen centers in South Jersey.

“I am really proud to accept

this award on behalf of the li-brary,” De said. “So many dedicat-ed staff members have worked tomake our Career Online HighSchool a success for those who en-rolled. We have five graduatesthus far and the rest of the stu-dents have over a half-year left tocomplete the program. So we areexpecting more success stories astime passes.”

WHYY recently interviewed Deat its TV studios in Philadelphia,and she will be featured in a pro-

gram about her and other Ameri-can Graduate Champions that thestation plans to air.

Cloutier also compared East-ern’s mathematics scores to thoseachieved at the state level.

At the high school levels, stu-dents were tested in either alge-bra 1, geometry or algebra 2. Forthe algebra 1 exam, Cloutier said23 percent of Eastern’s ninth-grade students scored equal tolevel four or greater, which wasless that the state’s percentage at36 percent. For Eastern’s geome-try students, Cloutier said 35 per-cent scored equal to level four orgreater, which was above the 22percent score from the state. ForEastern’s algebra 2 students,Cloutier said 41 percent scored

equal to level four or greater,which was also above the 24 per-cent score from the state.

“Once again, however, you seethat we're just barely above 50percent participation in algebra1, only again around 50 percent ingeometry and then far below 50percent at algebra 2,” Cloutiersaid.

Regarding participation rates,Cloutier said the state has passedregulations stating districts can-not be punished financially forhigh numbers of students choos-ing to not take the PARCC.

Cloutier said the federal gov-ernment also recently followedsuit when it passed the reautho-rization of the Elementary andSecondary Education Act, whichused to be known as No Child LeftBehind and is now called theEvery Student Succeeds Act.

Cloutier said the act states thefederal government won’t punishschools for test participationrates and believes that highschool level students should onlytake one test, not three years of tests as with PARCC, meaning thefederal government does not sup-port that aspect of what is beingdone in New Jersey.

Cloutier also said the schedulewhere assessments other thanPARCC, such as the SAT or ACTexams, can be used as a highschool graduation requirementhas also been extended.

“That alternative assessmentschedule has been extended allthe way through the class of 2019,so the very first year wherePARCC, if it remains, becomes amandatory graduation require-ment at this point is 2020,” Clouti-er said.
