The John G. Hauck Scholarship

A Tribute to the Education Profession

BASA Welcomes Applications and Contributions

2018 Awards Purpose: The John G. Hauck Scholarship Award was established to honor BASA Executive Director Emeritus John Hauck and to provide support to a BASA member's dependent who is pursuing a career in education. Media coverage and national educational reports constantly emphasize that young people are not choosing education as a profession as they once did. The brightest and most talented are finding other vocations. This is happening at a time when their skills and talents are needed most. The John G. Hauck Scholarship Fund is an attempt to not only honor John and the education profession but also help students who have chosen education as a career. Qualifications: To be eligible, a student must be the dependent of an active or retired BASA member and enrolled in the college of education at an accredited college or university. Preference will be given to upcoming college juniors and seniors. The candidate's potential for success in the field of education will be a primary factor. A recipient can accept the scholarship one time only. Procedures: Applicants are requested to provide recommendations and support documentation from college professors and/or supervising teachers. The scholarship award will be given in an amount equal to the earnings of the fund (at least $1,000). The award will be paid directly to the recipient to be used to help defray the cost of pursuing a career in education. Selection of the recipient will be made by the BASA Scholarship Committee. This committee consists of three members of the executive committee appointed by the BASA President. The recipient will be awarded the scholarship money at a ceremony during the BASA Fall Conference. Deadline to submit the application is September 14, 2018. Fax: 614-846-4081, email: hall@basa-ohio.org . - OVER PLEASE - SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION ON REVERSE SIDE OF THIS PAGE Contributions: You may make a contribution to the John G. Hauck Scholarship Fund at any time by writing a check payable to BASA (with a notation that it is for the scholarship fund) and mailing it to: BASA at 8050 N.

University of Dayton/BASA Superintendent Licensure Program Cohort - Class Schedule 2018-2019

University of Dayton Department of Educational Administration Principles of academic practice form the structure of all EDA programs aligned with these professional standards. First, the pedagogical goals for you and all students in EDA include planned growth in your knowledge, performance, and dispositions, the constructs of our professional affiliation with ELCC. Second, a “knowledge” base of effective school leadership exists and is the foundation of what you as a potential school leader need to master to be effective in producing improved student learning outcomes. “Performance” is defined by ELCC as those proficiencies in subject, professional and pedagogical knowledge, skills, and dispositions that benefit student learning. “Performance” is also described as related to the quality of institutional practice, in addition to individual practice. “Dispositions” are defined as those values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence your behaviors toward students, families, colleagues, and communities and affect student learning. These principles include a heavy emphasis on pedagogy that is practice-related, problem- based, i.e., “field” related. In EDA courses you will be continually engaged in building your knowledge - knowledge that is based in research and applied to practice in real schools. Throughout each EDA program, you will apply sound leadership knowledge to problems of contemporary PK-12 public , Catholic and other non-public schools.

Social Media

TIP SHEET

Office of Professional Conduct

Educators have a visible place in their communities. The choices they make, even when well-intended, can affect their families, jobs, schools and profession. The Ohio Department of Education , Ohio Education Association and Ohio Federation of Teachers offer this series of tip sheets supported by BASA, OASSA and OAESA on how to recognize situations which can get good educators in trouble. Most educators carry smart phones that give them photo, video and texting opportunities and the instant ability to post, like or snap. But these social media opportunities can blur the line between work and personal life.

To download other tip sheets, visit education.ohio.gov/ABConduct

Be smarter than your smart phone Tip 1: Remember, the Licensure Code of Professional Conduct for Ohio

is a record If you wouldn’t want your school, family or community to know about it, should you really post it? Keep their profiles PG rated Don’t post content showing alcohol, drugs, questionable behavior or associations with controversial groups. Know there is no such thing as truly “private” Even on personal accounts with high privacy settings, people can print, copy or take a screenshot of your post. Understand their districts’ social media policies Ohio’s teacher unions, educator associations and the Ohio Department of Education’s Office of Professional Conduct also offer tips on best social media policies. Tip 2: Privacy settings don’t guarantee privacy, but using maximum settings may lower your risk. If you use social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter, have two accounts for each: Professional account – Post content only for students, parents, administrators and the school community. No party pictures or pet stories here.

Monitor their online presence Photos from your 2011 college spring break or last week’s party may embarrass you today. If a friend tagged you yesterday in a compromising photo, remove the tag and ask your friend to take down the photo. Crank their privacy settings high Never friend, follow or add students, parents and professional contacts on your personal accounts. Consider making a rule that students can’t ask to follow, friend or add you. Never vent their frustrations online Avoid airing gripes about your job, colleagues or students. Never share protected, identifiable information like student grades, health conditions or full names. Personal account – Post content only for friends and family, and use maximum privacy settings that block your posts from students, parents and the school community. Keep in mind that someone still could print, copy or take a screenshot of your post. Tip 3: Remember, if a comment or photo is inappropriate in the school or classroom, it’s inappropriate on social media.

Educators applies all day, every day, even to your personal social media accounts. If someone would have a problem with your planned post, it could mean a problem for you.

TODAY’S SMART EDUCATORS... Recognize every electronic communication

Department of Education

DO’s & DON’Ts with

DON’T post inappropriate activities, images or words. DON’T bad mouth students, colleagues, your boss, parents or the community. DON’T follow, friend or add students. DON’T post anything if you have the slightest doubt about it. DON’T use “reply all” unless you really mean all. ? DO consider every electronic communication a record. DO keep confidential information offline. DO know how to use social media privacy settings and their limitations. DO expect to be accountable for what you post. DO consider your tone. Crystal Clear

Delete: Students, parents and co- workers may be able to find posts from years ago. Remember, review your online history; monitor your online presence. A principal made a racial slur online nine years ago while a college student.

11 p.m. Facebook message from student to teacher: Ugh. My parents are crazy and no one understands me.

Teacher’s personal Facebook post: Found out I’m teaching sixth grade next year. I hate that age group!

Delete: Parents, students and community members can see this statement, even on a personal page.

Delete: Be sure not to counsel a student or converse inappropriately off hours. This teacher should forward the message and their concerns to school staff who can help.

SHARE: New ways to support students are always positive. Make sure the links for students are age appropriate and meet school content standards. A teacher posts on a Facebook page homework, class news and links to websites that extend classroom learning.

A school administrator follows a risqué Twitter profile.

Delete: Anything you follow or like, even using your own device on your own time, becomes public business.

TIP SHEET

Office of Professional Conduct

Educators have a visible place in their communities. The choices they make, even when well-inteded, can affect their jobs, families, schools and profession. The Ohio Department of Education, Ohio Education Association and Ohio Federation of Teachers, supported by BASA, OASSA and OAESA, offer this series of tip sheets on how to recognize situations that can get good educators in trouble. Athletic coaches , music directors and club advisors make a life-shaping impact on their students, but they also face unique situations. They often spend long hours with students, interact with them outside school and manage public funds. These scenarios present added professional risks.

When a Good Coach Goes Afoul Darren Burwell just got his first education job teaching ninth grade and coaching high school basketball. He wants his players to like him, so he decides to relate to them at their level. He notices the seniors gave all the freshman nicknames like Beiber, McLovin’ and Dumbo. Believing it will help team bonding, Coach also uses these nicknames. slacking. When he catches a group of players skipping weight lifting, he yells, “You bunch of sissies don’t give a rat about your team.” The group doesn’t miss another weight-lifting session. One day, Dumbo asks Coach Burwell for a ride to the game in his car. Coach agrees; he is proud of the connection he is making with his players. During the season, Coach Burwell

collects money from parents to throw an end-of-season team banquet. He deposits the money in the school’s basketball account. In the meantime, his car windshield shatters, and he won’t have the cash to repair it until his next paycheck. He uses some of the banquet money to replace the windshield then refunds it as soon as his paycheck comes. At the end of the season, the banquet goes off without a hitch.

The season is going well, but Coach Burwell notices some players start

Foul 1: Coach should have used caution when calling students by nicknames. Coaches, directors and advisors may think nicknames promote team spirit, but they may be contributing unintentionally to hazing or bullying. Foul 2: Coach shouldn’t have called the students “sissies” or any derogatory name, even when trying to motivate or reprimand students. Coaches, directors and advisors should never disparage their students. Foul 3: Coach shouldn’t have given the student a ride in his car. Coaches, directors and advisors should follow all district policies and get parental approval before transporting students.This promotes student safety and guarantees proper student-teacher boundaries. Foul 4: Coach should not have “borrowed” basketball funds. He could face criminal charges. Coaches, directors and advisors should follow district policies, manage team or club funds transparently and keep accurate records. Where did Coach go Wrong? The basketball season was a success for Coach, but it could have ended badly. Many of his choices could have put his licenses at risk:

D O ’s & D O N’Ts with Crystal Clear

A softball player asks her pitching coach for an unscheduled evening session. Fair or Foul? Play it Safe! DON’T try to motivate by ridiculing, disparaging or name-calling. DON’T make purchases, encourage or cover for students using illegal or performance-enhancing substances including nutritional supplements. DON’T fail to report any bullying, hazing, abuse, neglect or threats by students or other school staff. DO remember the Licensure Code of Professional Conduct applies to coaches, directors and advisors, 24/7. DO plan all travel with safety and professional standards in mind. DO collect money and carefully manage funds following district and booster guidelines. DO give your supervisor and parents a schedule showing when, where and how you plan to interact with students. DO use only open-group messaging that your school leader and the parents can see. DON’T transport a student alone in your personal car, regardless of gender.

Van Gogh: Go have fun and support the student, but be sure to follow any relevant district policies. A student invites the art club advisor to a community art show he has entered. Van Gogh or Van No?

Non: Do not text individual students. This violates student-teacher boundaries. A French Club member texts Madame at 11 p.m. about the next club field trip. Should Madame respond? Oui or Non?

Foul: Remember your risks when interacting with an individual student, especially outside scheduled hours.

Rest: Don’t become overly involved in students’ personal matters. You are an educator, not a best friend. A violinist regularly asks her orchestra director for relationship advice. Play or Rest?

Not to Ski: Say “No, thank you.” Don’t accept any gift that would suggest favoritism, now or ever. Parents invite the drama club advisor to use their ski house for a weekend vacation. To ski or not to ski?
