Google Classroom – Working Smarter!

Melissa Collins (Pickerington EA) As technology advances, it is our responsibility as teachers to educate our students in a way that will ready them for the future. At the same time, we also owe it to ourselves to find technology that makes the managerial aspect of our job easier. Within the past few years my school district has made advancements to help educators to use the same means of communication. We still have a long way to go; however, as we journey through the world of Google, I am very pleased with what I have seen so far. Google Classroom is one program that I can stand behind. I already had my system set up exactly the way I wanted it, to fit my personal needs. It didn’t matter if every other teacher did it differently; it was working well for me. Once I got news that teachers would have to make the switch to use Google Classroom, my anxiety skyrocketed and anger began to set in. I was frustrated because I just found the perfect set up and right when I was feeling comfortable, changes were made. I decided to make the transition to Google Classroom in one course with a month remaining of school. The setup was easy. Once the students got the class code the setup was complete. I started very simply, and posted to students what we did that day along with the homework. Quickly that progressed to adding documents and/or videos that I gave to the students that day in class. They responded very well to the changes. Many who used the information loved that it was there to answer the popular question, “What did we do yesterday”.

The results were amazing. No longer did I have to take over 100 notebooks home and grade page by page. All I bring home is my computer which contains the pictures or documents of what students submitted. I had to have very strict instructions on how to take a clear picture of the correct pages; however, I had very few issues. The best part about Google Classroom is the communication and documentation. I have every assignment of every student in one location with a time stamp. I can determine what was turned in and when, as well as leave comments and grade the assignment. I often use these pictures in emails and conferences to discuss student progress. Using this system with a team of teachers is also a nice benefit because it will compile all the classes together. Google Classroom will also send updates to parents of all the important information automatically. Overall I am pleased with the outcome of what Google Classroom has to offer. To be fair, this system is not without its shortcomings. It would be wonderful if Google Classroom communicated directly with the district’s current grading system, or if I could input the grades and comments into another system. Currently, I have to copy my grades from one place to another to keep the lines of communication open to students, parents and other staff members. However, in my opinion, the pros truly outweigh the cons. I encourage you to give it a try.

The most difficult part of the transition was when the students were required to use Google Classroom on a daily basis. After practicing with the system, the following year I was ready to implement Google Classroom for all my classes. It was very important to me to set an expectation at the beginning of the year. Being a science teacher, I still wanted to have a science notebook; therefore, I required students to take pictures of their notebooks to give me the opportunity to grade.

When Educators “Don’t Want to Get Political”

5 Tips for Connecting with New Educators

Diane Valentino (Olentangy EA)

Amber Clark (Southwestern EA)

You would be hard pressed to find a profession that has undergone such a sweeping transformation in the last 10 years as Education. Educators have been turned into Public Enemy #1 by Political Operatives acting under the false pretense of reforming the country’s failing public schools. NEWSFLASH: Public Schools in the United States were NEVER failing! Public schools have been starved of public investment and labeled failures in order to be turned into profit-generating factories for private investors. The education system has been sold to the highest bidder without regard for what is best for children. What has seemed to be a bit by bit disconnected series of unfortunate events has, in fact, been a well-planned and wellfunded attack for a few key players’ personal profit. This is not the “pendulum swinging,” as veteran educators speak of when educators become alarmed by fast and loose reform. This is an attempt to privatize the U.S. Education Budget. Educators have long wrung their hands in worry and despair as school funding has been decimated and public schools have been publicly blamed for every social ill befalling our society. Sadly, many of those working in education have hoped that the solution would present itself with each passing year. They are waiting for someone ELSE to save education. NO ONE knows education BETTER than the educator. You don’t have to “like” politics to be informed. You don’t have to read the New York Times every day to know who the “players” in education are. You can be involved in ways that help your students but don’t pigeonhole you to any ideology other than pro education. You are not making waves or rocking the boat by speaking up for your profession. Getting involved won’t get you fired. One thing is certain - no one is coming to rescue the education profession but you.

Orientation: New teacher orientation is the first introduction to the union for many educators. Instead of using the traditional orientation model of passing around membership forms, consider inviting an early career educator to speak at orientation to share what they value about union membership.

2 New Member Social Events: Social events provide an opportunity for early career educators to meet association leaders. Creating opportunities for early career educators to interact with association leaders and develop personal relationships is a crucial step towards fostering an environment that encourages an “us” view of unionism.

3 One-on-One Conversations: An extremely effective way to engage new educators is by talking with them. Local associations should encourage building reps to take the time to reach out to new educators in their buildings and have personal conversations. These conversations give new educators an opportunity to discuss challenges and successes and provide building reps an opportunity to offer support. New teachers are often reluctant to seek out building reps to ask contract questions or express building concerns.

4 Professional Development: Reach out to new educators through one-on-one conversations and member surveys to identify the support they need. Many novice teachers express a desire for high quality and accessible professional development. The association can help new educators by designing professional development opportunities based on the needs of early career educators.

5 Communication: Frequent and valuable communication serves as an effective tool in educating new members about the work of the association. Association Facebook and Twitter accounts can be used to share information regarding important dates, upcoming association events, and political action items.

Central OEA Representative Assembly

David Schottner (Bexley EA), Area 5 Representative On April 21, over 150 delegates and alternates gathered at the Columbus Airport Marriott for the annual Spring Central OEA/NEA Representative Assembly. The event was productive and allowed delegates to prepare for the annual OEA RA on May 12. Delegates discussed traditional RA items like the annual budget, resolutions, and proposed changes to the Constitution and By-Laws.

The Central RA was a successful meeting and a spirited introduction to delegates of the OEA RA in May!

Awards are always highlights of the RA! This year, awards included: Jerry Rampelt receiving the Friend of Education Award for his tireless work helping our public schools pass levies, Jeanne Melvin receiving the Richard J. Hensler Meritorious Service Award for her leadership with Public Education Partners, and both Westerville Education Association and Miami Trace Non-Certified Employees Association receiving the LEAD (Leading Effective Association Development) award! The following candidates were elected to serve three year terms: Adrienne Bowden, Central President; Kevin Griffin, Central Vice-President; Cheryl Williams, Central ESP Representative; Erin Salzer, Soozie Hetterscheidt, and Amy Grittani, OEA Board of Directors. The delegates voted to endorse Central member Cheryl Williams of Dublin SSA for election to the OEA Board of Directors, ESP Representative. In hearing from OEA officers and directors, delegates heard a mixed bag of positive and disappointing news. While our voices are being heard, member involvement in political advocacy is increasing, and positive changes to the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System may be on their way, the diligent STRS board voted to suspend cost of living allowance increases for retired members for five years in an effort to stabilize the retirement funds. Retirees are living longer and longer, which is a great thing; but the board is faced with finding ways to make funds stretch further!

Testimonials First of all, I want to thank Central OEA for the scholarship that I was given to attend the ESP Conference in Dallas, Texas, this past March. I never dreamed that I would meet so many great ESP’s and learn how they do things in their union. It made me want to come home and work on making my chapter a great one! After attending this conference, I have come back with a fire inside me to be the best President that I can be for my members. I am looking forward to attending next year’s conference and learning many new things. ~ India Smith, President Miami Trace Non-Certified Employees.

I had an amazing time at the 2017 NEA National Leadership Summit. I was blown away during my two-day visit to Orlando, Florida. The Summit provided a buffet of breakout session options, allowing me to select interesting topics, such as how to build my leadership competency within our association. There were so many opportunities to collaborate with students, educators, and professionals from diverse backgrounds and with differing experiences. In my first breakout session, I learned a more open approach to interacting with people of different political and educational views. One of my most memorable moments was the breakout session with high school students who told their stories of educational hardships and successes. It was through their personal accounts that I was truly inspired and proud of my profession. I look forward to implementing these new skills as I continue to grow in my leadership role with PEA.

Last fall, with some encouragement from a colleague, I applied for Central’s scholarship for the NEA National Leadership Summit. When February finally got here, and I arrived in Orlando, it was amazing the number of people at the airport that I recognized as teachers by their shirts. Riding the shuttle to the hotel, I got to talk with teachers from Texas and Illinois. We discussed the similarities and differences between teaching in their states versus teaching in Ohio. When the sessions began on Friday afternoon, I learned about teachers in Colorado who have developed a Professional Development program. I learned how to build our members’ campaign activism and how to help our association become more visible, viable, and valued. I came home invigorated and tired (and a little jealous of those Colorado teachers!). Where I thought, this might not be for me, I was wrong. I can’t wait to do this again next year. I’m hooked! This Leadership Summit is for all of us! ~Denise Hermetz, Northwestern TA- Clark

This past February was the National Leadership Summit for the NEA and I was one of the lucky attendees. The purpose of the National Leadership Summit: to develop activist leaders and prepare them with knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to lead a relevant and thriving association. Becky Pringle, NEA Vice-President, gave an empowering keynote address about racial inequality. This was followed by a student panel that discussed how implicit biases and racism affect them as students. Hearing the students discuss how they are affected everyday by racism and sexism was so powerful that it truly inspired me. After listening to them and Vice-President Pringle speak, I truly wanted to make a change in my classroom and school to better meet the needs of my students. Finally, I enjoyed the time to meet my fellow Ohio delegates and hear what is going on in their locals, to talk with delegates from other states, and hear from others how they work to inspire students and create positive change to inspire the futures of our students. ~ Molly Wassmuth, Westerville EA

~ Dana Calloway, Pickerington EA.

Ohio Deferred Comp is an Inexpensive Retirement Savings Plan Mark Hill (Worthington EA President), STRS Board, OEA Board If you’re putting money in a 403(b), you could be giving up a lot of your retirement savings by paying more in fees than you should. The way to avoid paying exorbitant fees to 403(b) providers is by investing in a 457 account through Ohio Deferred Compensation. Ohio Deferred Compensation is a supplemental 457(b) retirement plan for all Ohio public employees and one of the largest 457(b) plans in the country. Deferred compensation has been the program’s only responsibility since 1976. Because of the program’s size, plan expenses are low. Ohio Deferred Comp is unique in that it is a public, nonprofit organization created by Ohio legislation. A 13-member Board, composed of public employees, retirees, and appointed investment experts, governs the program as required by Ohio law. The staff manages and administers the program with public employees’ best interests in mind. External managers professionally manage the program’s investment options. Investment options are selected and monitored by the Board and its independent investment consultant. Ohio Deferred Comp provides participants with educational tools, a diverse set of investment options, flexible savings and withdrawal options, as well as portability when changing jobs within the public sector. In short, Ohio Deferred Comp is a public, non-profit agency, created to help public employees like us save for retirement. The average 403(b) plan charges around 1.5% of your account value to hold your money in their accounts. Ohio Deferred charges 0.5%, which means you can put more of your money to work toward retirement security. You may ask, “This seems too good to be true? If it’s such a good deal, why haven’t I heard about it?”

OEA RA Recap Ty Tatman (Zane Trace EA), OEA Director At 9 a.m. Friday, May 12th, 2017 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, OEA President Becky Higgins dropped the gavel to begin the Spring 2017 OEA Representative Assembly and delegates were treated to a surprise greeting from Murl Huffman. Murl was OEA President in 1968 and has only missed TWO RA’s since 1957! Now 97, Murl has decided this was his last RA and he wanted to greet delegates with some wise anecdotal notes and words of encouragement much to the room’s delight and appreciation. A grand total of 843 registered delegates were in attendance over the two days of the assembly and those delegates contributed a whopping $31,698 to the Fund For Children and Public Education. In statewide elections, Central’s own, Cheryl Williams from the Dublin Support Association was elected to the OEA Board of Directors At-Large ESP! Congratulations to Cheryl for representing Central all across the great state of Ohio! Amendments to Constitution and By-laws eliminating “Core Function Committees” and aligning the the beginning and ending dates for terms of OEA Board Members with Representative Assembly elections both passed. A total of seven New Business Items were approved. Among them, a robust and comprehensive new strategy implementation for FCPE, an investigation into organizing adjunct college staff, an aggressive campaign promoting OEA member benefits, as well as endorsing the Educator Standards Board revisions to the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System and calling on the Ohio General Assembly to enact them! OEA Vice President Scott DiMauro, summed it up best when he stated “OTES needs to be fixed and we’re on the verge. We’ve got to get rid of the standalone student growth measure.” Scott DiMauro also gave words of encouragement about improving RESA, “we’ve got to dig into what works and doesn’t work about the Resident Educator program.”

NEA Members Save on Airfare, Hotels, Resorts, Cruises and More! Guy Kendall-Freas

Recently, NEA Member Benefits launched NEA Vacations with a world of travel discounts on hotels and resorts, airfare, cruises, guided vacations and vacation packages and more. And to add to the savings your membership can provide, we’ve deposited $500 in each member’s account and created ways you can increase your travel dollars. Whether you’re planning a family vacation or your dream getaway, NEA members can see more and do more for less. SAVE with access to prices not available elsewhere on: • Hotels and Resorts • Air • Cruises • Guided Vacations, Vacation Packages and more! PLUS, as an added bonus, NEA Members can earn NEA Travel Dollars to use as partial payment on cruises, resorts, hotels and vacation packages. Recover even more dues dollars with the no-cost NEA Complimentary Life Insurance, an insurance policy provided to all active members. It is in force, even if you’re not aware of it. But, like with any life insurance, you should designate your beneficiary and keep a paper trail of your policy since you will not be around to tell your family about this benefit when the time comes. If you need to designate or update your beneficiary, it is as simple as a phone call to 800-6374636 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. or Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

In 2015, I had to bite the bullet and buy a new car (and we all know how much fun that is!). But this time, I used the NEA Auto Purchase Program. On-line, I selected the car I wanted right down to the color and all options, and I was provided three bottom line prices from three dealers. I selected the one closest to home and arranged to go to the dealer two days later. Upon arriving, I was directed to a salesperson who had all my info and who never once asked me “What do you want your monthly payment to be?” The process was completed in about an hour and I paid $7,200 less than MSRP. NEA Member Benefits offers a wide range of insurance plans including life, disability, long-term care, auto & home insurance, pet insurance, and more. They offer a wide range of financial products including on-line savings accounts, credit cards, personal loans, home loans, college loans, and more. But the area I hear the most about from members is the discount programs. NEA Member Benefits offers discounts on hearing aids, GE appliances, travel, car rentals and shopping (at more than 850 stores through NEA Click and Save). To learn more about NEA Member Benefits and your opportunity to save, go to

www.neamb.com.

The NEA Auto & Home Insurance Program is another program which commonly saves members money while providing unique coverage and outstanding service. Provided by California Casualty, this program is only available to NEA members and their families, which keeps rates very competitive since NEA members tend to be rather conservative. Personally, my savings were over $500 a year when I switched back in 2000. I switched because of the premium but I stayed because of the service. With features like $0 deductible for damage done within 500 feet of a worksite or school-sponsored event and coverage for personal property I might take to work, it definitely is worth looking into.

8 Ways to Recharge Over the

Summer Break 1. Read a Book

5. Experience Nature

2. Catch up with TV Shows

6. Review Your Finances

3. Get Physical

7. Create Some Family Memories

Everyone’s talking about The Girl on the Train, Hillibilly Elegy, and many other books you may not have had time to read during the school year. Make a list of the fun and popular books you want to enjoy.

All year we hear captivating commentary of series like Game of Thrones and This is Us. Use some “me time” to catch up on all the programming you missed throughout the year.

Working from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (or longer) doesn’t leave much time for working out. Use some time to create healthier habits like learning to cook healthy meals, running a few times a week, yoga, and/or weight training. In the long run, these habits will make a healthier, happier, and more effective educator.

4. Reconnect with Friends Summer is a great time to reconnect with friends and recharge your batteries.

Studies show that many people find happiness when they experience nature daily, so get outside and visit the beaches, mountains, and parks.

Educators often have student loan debt, as well as housing and childcare costs, that get in the way of setting financial goals. Use the summer as a time to sit down and figure out your financial goals and make a plan to reach them.

Plan trips to the park, bike riding excursions, and family barbecues. These are the experiences your family members will treasure forever. Check out NEA Member Benefits for discounts on various excursions!

8. Be Idle

Spend some time just resting and relaxing. Use that time to reflect on the past year and to plan for the one ahead.

Central Educator for a Day - Legislators as Educators October 1 - 31, 2017 Billie Sarich (Grandview Heights), Central Political Action Coordinator How many times have you said to yourself, peers or administrators, “I wish legislators could see the impact of their decisions on our students”? Whether it be increasing class sizes, changing diversity and needs of students, continual budget cuts, decreasing personnel or hours/days/weeks of standardized testing, we all struggle to personalize and maximize each student’s educational experience with the mandates legislated upon us. If only legislators could spend one day in my shoes… Central OEA/NEA has developed a toolkit enabling associations to easily invite local, state, and national officials to

spend a day as an educator. The toolkit provides all of the information associations will need to successfully invite and host elected officials to spend the day in a classroom or multiple classrooms: a staff recruitment memo, a tip sheet for cooperating teachers, forms for invitations/press releases/thank you letters and a checklist to ensure a day of success. We are intentionally offering a wide window (any day in October) to allow districts to determine the best date to facilitate the Legislators as Educators event. Central will share the toolkit with each local association president this summer.

Summer 2017

High Quality Professional Development Central OEA/NEA IPD Committee The Ohio Department of Education (ODE), through the work of the Ohio Educators Standard Board* (ESB), updated the Ohio Standards for Professional Development in 2015. Many local professional development committees (LPDC’s) may be familiar with the new standards, but as individual educators, there most likely is information which has not been communicated. The standards provide an effective, systematic approach to professional learning, which founded upon research, provides a supportive resource for the growth of educators in Ohio. Research shows that the quality of professional development for teachers impacts the educator and the student’s achievement. In an effort to provide researched best practice, Learning Forward, a non-profit organization, facilitated members of the ESB in quality conversations resulting in the adoption of the new standards. “Learning Forward is the only association focused solely on the most critical lever in improving schools -building the knowledge and skills of educators. Through the Standards for Professional Learning, Learning Forward leads the field in understanding what links (quality) professional learning to improved student achievement.” ** “The Ohio Standards for Professional Development define the essential elements of a strong professional learning system: Learning Communities, Leadership, Resources Data, Learning Design, Implementation and Outcome.”*** We in Ohio now benefit from the opportunity to integrate high quality professional development throughout our daily routines at school. This opportunity is a welcomed and effective shift from the traditional “sit and get” or one-size fits all PD. The Ohio Standards for Professional Development is primarily written to guide those in charge of providing professional development to educators in a local district. Based upon the standards of professional learning communities, one may argue that teachers should be major decision makers providing the PD. Therefore, educators should study the standards to see the criteria for effective professional learning systems and then develop professional learning with, or for colleagues. We can also use the standards for self-assessment or to make recommendations for improving current practices. This is not a governing document, but instead an empowering tool for professional educators seeking to learn and grow in their practice.

system of professional learning. The standards should be shared with external providers who facilitate professional learning within the building or district. This is a foundation to ensure that the time devoted to professional development is effective and supports licensure goals. These standards do not change the process of licensure, but allow for LPDC’s to recognize a broader scope of activities which can qualify as professional learning for licensure renewal.
