Happy to be on the call and thanks to all who could join today 00:26:17 dennis wallace: Hi I am Dennis Wallace the Ag Ed Program Supervisor for our State Education Department (OSPI). 00:26:20 Don Haas: I was pleased to see some good attention to climate change in this FFA document: Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) Content Standards: https://thecouncil.ffa.org/afnr/ These standards give a fair amount of attention to climate change and its impacts and potential impacts on agriculture and related careers. 00:26:37 Tracy Garland, Resilient Virginia: Hi Tracy Garland, Events Director with Resilient Virginia. My home base is in Roanoke, VA 00:30:10 Colleen Fisk: Don, thank you for sharing! As an FFA alum, I love to see that there is more awareness in that community around sustainability 00:32:25 Deb Morrison: How are they structuring these through CTE frameworks in some way across states? 00:32:37 Karen Hollweg: RISING SUN, Center for Opportunity -- is a long-established, non-profit, supported by contracts & earned income in CA that trains disadvantaged youth (racially and gender diverse) and places them in mentorship & intern positions with local unions, leading to employment. see https://risingsunopp.org/ 00:36:39 dennis wallace: my internet connection is unstable so Sorry for exiting during my talk. 00:37:46 Don Haas: Hear hear! 00:37:58 Colleen Fisk: Yes! Efficiency first! 00:38:42 Deb Morrison: Also getting lots of folks in communications fields who are directly dealing with CC. 00:38:54 Youth Climate Program: I know in rural communities with old housing infrastructure the demand for energy efficiency and weatherization is huge 00:40:28 Deb Morrison: Yes on the green building and trades!!! 00:41:23 amyframe: These are the national standards that state standards are drawn from. https://careertech.org/cctc 00:41:35 Don Haas: I don’t know much (beyond some experience with FFA) about professional organizations for teachers in CTE. A Google search led me to the Association for CTE: https://www.acteonline.org/ 00:42:12 Don Haas: In a quick look, I don’t find much on climate, sustainability or renewables. Has there been outreach to this group? 00:43:07 Patrick David Chandler: On that note, I'm curious about the demographics of current CTE students- are programs reaching students they are intended to? 00:46:25 Don Haas: Here’s a list of CTE state associations: https://www.acteonline.org/about/structure/acte-state-associations/ 00:48:24 Karen Hollweg: What about the Natl Standards noted above in the Chat? 00:49:02 Don Haas: I didn’t find CTE national standards on the ACTE site, though there’s hints of state standards. 00:49:35 Colleen Fisk: The standards Dan linked to before were specific for ag/FFA 00:49:57 Colleen Fisk: Sorry Don* linked before 00:50:10 dennis wallace: Nancy Trivette who is the past president of ACTE and a Ag teachers from the NE is also on the Agricultural Council which developed the AFNR standards. Leadership form CTE leaders stems more from each state both at the state departments and the professional teachers organizations. The interest is there but it is one of many topics that are being addressed. We partner with the Pacific Environmental Institute on several of our courses including Forestry and now climate change. There are a non profit community organization. 00:50:38 Don Haas: I did just now find this, from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards: http://www.nbpts.org/wp-content/uploads/EAYA-CTE.pdf 00:50:59 Abby Ruskey: Amy, Career Connect in Washington State is has begun to address the gap you are talking about - this is such a key point you've made, thank you! 00:51:28 Abby Ruskey: https://careerconnectwa.org/ 00:52:32 Don Haas: The NBPTS CTE standards use the word “climate” once, in reference to political climate. 00:54:18 dennis wallace: They need to know that the education community is willing to work with business and industry to develop programs that are good for kids and good for communities 00:56:11 dennis wallace: Abby mentioned Career Connect in Washington. They provided access to all students making them aware of industry and business opportunities 00:56:52 Colleen Fisk: Paid internships, and get school credit! Many businesses/utilities/etc are nervous about having minors as interns, and the state/DEED/Dept of Labor can help provide them a cost-effective way to have minor interns 00:57:13 dennis wallace: Industry leaders from all aspects provided tour and questions and answer opportunities with industry reps. This also provided teachers with a list of names and industries 00:57:43 dennis wallace: that they can use in the future to educate our students on opportunities 00:59:55 Karen Hollweg: Here in Colorado, CTE is robustly addressed by Public Schools e.g., in Jefferson County School District that now has grown to 2 campuses of "Warren Tech", the premier career and technical education center that is an extension of every high school in the school district.Jeffco Public Schools, over 30 innovative programs offer dynamic learning opportunities that integrate high school credit, including core academic math, science, and English, to keep students on track for graduation. Over 1,400 juniors and seniors earn free college credit and industry certifications, and experienced faculty work with industry partners to engage students in rigorous college-level work and professional projects, including internships and apprenticeships. Warren Tech develops students who are competitive in today’s high-tech society and global economy. 01:00:50 Karen Hollweg: oops - Here's the URL http://www.warrentech.org/our_school/about_warren_tech 01:01:35 Karen Alsen: Colleen- you are right about companies not wanting to take on minors as interns… we partner with the NYC DOE to provide these paid internships and DOE takes on all liability which is really helpful. 01:01:44 Colleen Fisk: Yes, very well said Amy about standards meeting with business needs. Definitely true in Alaska 01:02:46 Deb Morrison: Coherence of a climate learning system! 01:03:27 Abby Ruskey: Thanks Dennis, great point. It would be so great for ClimeTime, OSPI CTE and Ag and the environmental and sustainability networked hubs (E3WA, PEI, Islandwood, etc.) to join together with Maud Daudon at WA Career Connects and John Aultman on the Gov's policy staff to bring more climate solutions oriented industries into partnership for a specifically climate CTE program. I would think our OSPI Superintendent and Governor would be in support. 01:04:08 Don Haas: What’s the deal with Bezos $10bn? 01:05:51 Don Haas: Spain is looking to implement serious sustainability efforts as a way to emerge from the financial devastation from Covid-19: https://www.evwind.es/2020/05/26/spain-rolls-out-ambitious-new-climate-legislation/74862 01:09:57 Youth Climate Program: Yes! Thanks Meredith 01:11:01 Don Haas: On a related note, The theme for the 2020 of the International Federation for Home Economics (IFHC) World Congress is Home Economics: Soaring Toward Sustainable Development. http://www.cvent.com/events/ifhe-2020/event-summary-df64e24cf1f64596ad83baaa8c57e21c.aspx?dvce=1 01:11:49 Don Haas: I’m pulling some of these links from a doc I put together on interdisciplinary resources for teaching climate and energy: http://bit.ly/InterdisciplinaryClimate 01:12:49 Karen Alsen: Just thinking about scale. We find the train the trainer model to be effective and equipping the teachers with hands-on supplies is CRUCIAL for the CTE classroom 01:12:57 AMS Education: Have to jump to another call. Thanks for this informative discussion. Keep up the great work! 01:13:08 Don Haas: I’m reminded of the piece on Steve Earle on NPR this morning, on his documentary musical on coal. 01:13:15 Karen Hollweg: I'd love to see us apply the characteristics/criteria generated here applied to some well-established programs that have sustained themselves thru economic ups and downs (and clearly have a diverse successful funding model) to see if they share the characteristics generated here. 01:13:30 Abby Ruskey: Great update Don about IFHC and thanks for your listing as well! Thank you Frank for leading the charge and your brilliance in networking! 01:13:43 EmilyCoren: Thank you everyone! 01:13:43 Karen Hollweg: thanks !! 01:13:48 Youth Climate Program: this is great! Thanks 01:15:40 Roger Rich: thanks 01:15:50 Patrick David Chandler: In addition to a national picture on which students are involved in CTE, it would also be interesting to have a national picture of funding to see if there are shared sources and if it's possible to leverage more funding through a connected picture. 01:15:53 Colleen Fisk: I have to run now, thank you Frank for including me/Alaska in this panel. I really appreciated the discussion and learning a bit more of what’s going on in other states and the perspectives 01:15:59 Karen Alsen: Thanks everyone! Nice to meet you all! Would love to continue the conversation 01:16:01 Tyler Katzmar: Thank you Frank and the other panel members. Can’t wait until the next CTE panel. CLEAN is an awesome forum for national leaders to connect. This is the first step to great changes! 01:16:02 Patrick David Chandler: Thanks All! 01:16:08 Katie Boyd: Thanks, everyone! 01:16:26 tiffboyd@gmail.com: Thank you! 01:16:26 Anne Gold: Thanks everyone!
