PROJECT ADVISORY-MANAGEMENT TEAM (PMT) MEETING

TIME: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

DATE: Wednesday, May 17, 2025

LOCATION: Dorr Room, Surbeck center, SDSM&T, Rapid City

AGENDA

1. EDC Resource Centers

• Dates for EDC Seminars
• Suggestions for locations

2. Program Manager Search Report

3. Material Refurbishment Center

• We are thinking about buying and having extra supplies on-hand at the center for emergencies. How does $2000/yr from our refurbishment budget sound?
• I have already ordered the consumable replacements for 6 of the school districts. I have not ordered for Kadoka or Meade

4. Professional Development Content-Focused Workshops

• Status report (Dorothy)
• Any changes to the schedule? We will post changes on the website.
• How can we ensure fair representation of each district at the workshops? A few PMT's have gotten reservations to me. Most of the others have come through Lead Teachers or the teachers themselves. We still have room in all of the workshops. We are really light on the Orientation workshop. Should we cancel that one, postpone, is there a need? Several teachers have reserved spots who are not on the targeted teacher list. Once these teachers start the program they, and the school district, are obligated to fulfill the 100 hour requirement.

5. Site visit - Joyce Evans

6. Renewal of funding update

7. Correlation of FOSS and STC State Standards by grade level

• Should we hold a day-long workshop to do it?

8. Bill Roggenthen - Sabbatical replacement

9. Evaluation updates - Bob Magelky & Ben Sayler

10. Site visit reports - Charlie Lamb, Ben Sayler

11. Motivating the project!

• How can we raise teacher's awareness of the need for the project? (Is there a need?)
• How can we help teachers become alert to teaching-science-for-understanding?

12. Communication Issues

• New website address: camse.spearfish.k12.sd.us/blahst
• How best to contact teachers?

13. Other
