Oh behalf of the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, the Mid-Dakota Education Cooperative (MDEC) and the South East Education Cooperative (SEEC) we are inviting you all to submit an application for selection to serve as a content specialist committee member to prioritize the updated Health Education Standards and to create proficiency scales for the purpose of improving core instruction.
We are assembling a work group of approximately 15 North Dakota Educators from across the state that will represent a cross-section of communities and schools. The goal will be to have 3 individuals per grade-level strand (PreK-2; Grades 3-5, Grade 6, Grades 7-8 and Grades 9-12). The work group will:
- Review the 2018 Health Education Content Standards
- Engage in online learning modules prior to first face-to-face meeting date
- Prioritize Health Education Content Standards
- Draft Proficiency Scales in child-friendly language
The work group will meet in-person three times, those dates are as follows:
- Friday, April 26th
- Thursday, May 2nd
- Wednesday, May 29th
All of these in-person meetings will take place in Minot, ND.
We will be able to provide either reimbursement for substitute teacher pay to the school district + all travel expenses (mileage, lodging and meals) or provide a personal stipend + all travel expenses (mileage, lodging and meals) for those serving on the work group.
There will also be 2 graduate credits available.
The application is attached, please return to me via email (keely.ihry@k12.nd.us) no later than Friday, March 22nd.
