OVSD Plan

Here is the plan for OVSD training for 2008. Can you make sense of it? Luckily you don't have to because Darren and I are going to make it clear for you.

Qwest Grants

Most of this week was spent spending time with Darren in understanding the projects he is to undertake such as the Qwest grants, the regional edtech grants and the OVSD project.

We spent one full day with Carla Wade, ODE and Bob Gravely, Qwest on scoring the Qwest grants. We will be able to award five grants wit the first round of Qwest monies. If ODE comes through with the matching funds we will be able to award another six grants. We are working dilegently with Steve Nelson on this task. Darren will be traveling around the state to award the monies. So far we have awarded:

  • Kim Hernandez, Centennial Elementary, Springfield Public Schools

  • Heidi Paullus, Sunridge Middle School, Pendleton School District

  • Ginny Hoke, Thurston High School, Springfield Public Schools

  • Tim Chase, Bend LaPine Middle School, Bend LaPine School District

  • Morgan Cottle & Mark Sherbow , Ashland School District

OVSD Overview

We spent much of the week working on the OVSD project. We met with Steve Nelson of ODE and Greg the programmer for OVSD. We gave recommendations and insight into how to reformat the website to attract users and make training easier.

We also discussed the matching funds of ODE with the Qwest teacher grants.

New Hire

We received the OVSD Award to provide professional development in Oregon. So I called up Darren Hudgins and offered him a job at OETC as the Instructional Program Coordinator. He accepted and I have him flying off too the Montana Cadre for his first day of work.

He has a steep learning curve ahead of him, but I am confident of his stellar staff development skills, and look forward to the energy and diversity he will add to this department.

Proposal

I wrote my proposal for Steve Nelson on the OVSD professional development project. I had Carla Wade, Aaron, and Lynn Lary proof it. We will see what happens with that.

OVSD

Met with Steve Nelson to develop a plan for OETC to provide the professional development on OVSD. The plan is for me to write a proposal. In addition Steve will do a couple sessions at ITSC.

OAESDs and OVSD

I met with Leslie Golden who is the Education Enterprise Partnership between ODE and the ESD Superintendents... at least that is the goal. We talked about various areas that we could network together. She also invited Steve Nelson who runs the Oregon Virtual Schools Project and I pitched the idea of running the professional development for the OVSD.
