[Osta-board] Friendly reminders

[KLECKNER Cheryl]

Thanks for the reminder about the summer 2010 science PD, Lynda.

I did get budget approval for these professional development and grant opportunities, so we will be opening the online registration this coming week.  Early next week I'll send you all the news item to share with your regions.  

I included below the final schedule of sites and dates.  Facilitators are only required to assist with the first two days at each site, the third day sessions are optional for participants and facilitators.  As Lynda stated below, please let me know ASAP if you, or excellent science teacher leaders that you know, want to be considered for the core facilitators group.  Also let me know which site and dates you want to assist with facilitation.  All travel and lodging costs will be covered for facilitators and the PD sessions are FREE to all.  This core group of facilitators will become part of the regional Science Teacher Leaders Cadre that we are planning to support at the state level with ongoing PD opportunities.  

Thanks for all you do for science education in Oregon!
Cheryl

It has been a little over a month since our retreat and I know our April  meeting is still over a month away but I wanted to remind people of things they need to bring or have done by that meeting.

1.  The bylaws committee will be bringing us a printed copy of proposed changes for us to discuss.  They were e-mailed the bylaws today.

2.  We need to find a new TOST editor.  Heidi is resigning.  She did the one that recently went to press and one more, then we need someone new.  

3.  Bernie I think you were looking at a new printer for us.  We need to know what form the documents need to be in and what we may need to do about that.  Heidi says the PageMaker program she is using is part of some of the issues she has had.  She is recommending Publisher.

4.  Bring ideas for the TOST.  Marj is working on a "Get to Know Your Board" article.  I hope everyone has sent her the information she wanted.

5.  Please start preparing your Board reports.  Remember to e-mail them to me and Carol.  I will also remind you closer to the meeting.

6.  Sponsorship letter.  I know some people were working on that before we left but did it get finished?

7.  Contacts - may require the letter.  Some were for solicitation of website adds.  I wrote down the following:
Scott - Prentice Hall, Leatherman, OFRI
Alan - Intel, PGE
Brian - Nike, Vernier
Carolyn - School Specialty
Bruce - BPA

Costs for adds were: Website 1/2 year = $1800 and full year = $3000
Non-profits:  1/2 year = $240 and full year = $400


8.  Contacting pre-service teachers.  Several people had signed up for different colleges -  have contacts been made?

9.  Cheryl is looking for facilitators for the PD trainings to be offered this summer.  She got approval for funding so if you want to help her out let her know and if you know of anyone who would be good get those names to her.

10.  Mike - you were going to see if you could get Facebook unblocked for our next meeting.

Hope that helps.  I don't want things to get "out of sight, out of mind".
