• We all have a role in hometown security

• Citizen Corps asks you to embrace the personal responsibility to be prepared; to get training in first aid and emergency skills; and to volunteer to support local emergency responders, disaster relief, and community safety.

• Currently there are:2,342 Councils which serve224,720,380 people or78% of the total U.S. population

Community Emergency Response Team

• The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) was created from a model developed by the City of Los Angeles Fire Department in 1987. Since 1994, the Federal Emergency Management

Agency (FEMA) has been promoting nationwide use of CERT and many communities have established these teams. CERT training promotes a partnering effort between emergency services and the people they serve. The goal is for emergency personnel to

train members of neighborhoods, community organizations or workplaces in basic response

skills.

CERT training is approximately a 20-hour course and includes disaster preparedness; fire suppression; disaster medical operations such as triage, treating life threatening injuries, assessment, treatment and wound care; light search and rescue; team organization and disaster psychology.

Target audiences for CERT training include, but are not limited to: · neighborhoods· businesses· communities of faith· scouting organizations· school staff and students· clubs· organizations· amateur radio emergency services

Other training opportunities• I will send out notification of CERT instructor

training in different parts of the state as it becomes available

• We are planning on offering CERT and AHA CPR instructor courses as a pre or post GACTE conference training

“

“Assessment should provide “feedback” or it is not truly

assessment. Any assessment should supply the ‘performer’

– the student – with usable information about how the

performance fared, and how performance might be

improved.” -Grant Wiggins

http://webquest.sdsu.edu/rubrics/weblessons.htm

• The Rubric is an authentic assessment tool which is particularly useful in assessing criteria which are complex and subjective. Authentic

assessment is geared toward assessment methods which correspond as closely as

possible to real world experience.

The rubric is a formative type of assessment because it becomes an ongoing part of the whole teaching

and learning process. Students themselves are involved in the assessment process through both peer and self-assessment. As students become

familiar with rubrics, they can assist in the rubric design process. This involvement empowers the students and as a result, their learning becomes

more focused and self-directed. Authentic assessment, therefore, blurs the lines

between teaching, learning, and assessment.

The advantages of using rubrics in assessment are that they:

allow assessment to be more objective and consistent focus the teacher to clarify his/her criteria in specific terms clearly show the student how their work will be evaluated and what is expected promote student awareness of about the criteria to use in assessing peer performance provide useful feedback regarding the effectiveness of the instruction provide benchmarks against which to measure and document progress

Rubrics can be created in a variety of forms and levels of complexity, however, they all contain common features which:

focus on measuring a stated objective (performance, behavior, or quality)

use a range to rate performance contain specific performance characteristics arranged in levels indicating the degree to which a standard has been met
