ased approach. This new format was very effective in engaging teachers from across the District in crossdisciplinary discussions that broadened our base of best-practices, and expanded our pool of human resources focused on curriculum and instruction. These teacher meetings were complimented by a focus on increased feedback to the teacher through the use of walkthroughs. These snapshots of practice provided an expanded look at what was happening in the classroom, and the timeliness of the information enabled more effective feedback and analysis of teacher work. Department meetings were used to compliment and scaffold the work targeted in the In-Service, Pathway and teacher training sessions on UbD. The department-level work focused on ensuring the requirements of the revised NJ State Core Curriculum Content Standards was being addressed in both the “skills’ and “content” areas of the CPI. Department members worked in teams to align existing course content and skill development to the revised standards and to identify authentic, problem- and inquiry-based learning opportunities for students. Assessment practices and tools were reviewed quarterly and data was analyzed to help inform refinements. Every department member participated in the scheduled Technology mini workshops during the school year. This model supported the individualization of training that teachers most appreciate, enabling them to select courses of interest from a menu of possibilities. This focus enabled teachers to make a connection to the NJ Technology Standards and the specifics of their content area. Teachers were able to more readily see and understand why and how the various technologies might be used to support the development of 21 st Century skills and content mastery. Most of the grade nine teachers attended a workshop in the area of Human Sexuality provided by the Center for Human Sexuality at Rutgers University. This series of workshops provides valuable information in each of the topic areas covered in grades nine and 11. The materials that were accessed at these workshops were shared among teachers of the same grade level, evaluated and infused into the 2010-2011 course revisions. Thirteen Health and Physical Education teachers, representing each grade level, participated in the two-day summer UbD training. These individuals described an extremely positive experience that built on their department work from this year, and truly helped to inform their transition to the use of the UbD format for designing course units. Staff Recognition Trese Lang completed a one-to-one program in partnership with Cathy Stutzman of the English Department. This partnership enabled students in both classes to utilize the technology to explore the concept of competition, to read and reflect on related literature from both disciplines. Students used the technology for research and to communicate with their cross-disciplinary group members in debate, discussion, analysis of writing prompts. Students produced a summary project that embodied this process and reflected a deeper understanding than their counterparts outside the project. Upon Michael Carr’s departure to assume a Supervisor/Athletic Director position, Meghan Ibach was appointed as the Chairperson of the Hunterdon Central NJ Coordinated School Health Program. This program was a result of a grant written by Dr. Carol Kelley, and funded through the NJ Department of Education, Division of Student Services, and Office of Educational Support Services. Funding enabled HCRHS to facilitate school Health and Physical Education assessments, analyze results and target programming to close the gaps in both instruction and school climate. We have collaborated with the School Wellness Committee to strategize about programs for students and teachers/staff to meet existing needs. We have also partnered with each of the sending districts to 76
infuse a common software and set of protocols for assessing/tracking student wellness, equipment to support faculty wellness, and a District Health Fair to articulate with community wellness resources. Heather Reilly and Meghan Ibach organized and managed the Annual Blood Drive to address the needs of the New Jersey Blood Services. These individual secured speakers, enlisted student volunteer workers, communicated with the internal school community and solicited donors using a process that has been refined over the past five years. Once again, the Hunterdon Central H&PE Blood Drive surpassed the goals and expectations of the NJ Blood Services. Denise McNally partnered with Linda Ruckriegel to enable an experiential learning opportunity in Project Adventure for the Little Devils, 4-year olds. This partnership enabled the Child Development students to share information about age appropriate skills levels of the Little Devils and the PA students to mentor in a movement exploration experience. Jackie Drennon and Kelley Huggins introduced the level 12 Teen PEP II program with a single teacher model. This group partnered with the sending district schools to provide health mentoring for students in grades 6-8. Our Teen PEP I Student program continues to support the Human Sexuality, and Drugs and Alcohol programs targeted for grade 9 students. Lisa Hamill, Trese Lang, Dawn Peins, Kevin Cuozzi, and Kaman Hung completed refresher training in Safe Dates, a research-based program out of The Princeton Leadership Center that focuses on dating violence, sexual harassment and bullying behaviors. Hunterdon Central is considered to be one of the exemplar programs by the Center. All grade 10 students are engaged in this program. Students-Special Recognition Students receive written feedback from every teacher on a quarterly basis recognizing them as positive rolemodels, reinforcing leadership skills demonstrated and encouraging continued collaboration in a team/problemsolving setting. The Full-Value Contract is used to facilitate this process, and we are currently looking at ways to systemically shift this focus to the Habits of Mind and Dispositions of Practice. One department team will be working on this next year during department curriculum team time. 77
