President’s Report Greetings to all – this year seems to be flying by and when you receive this newsletter June will likely be approaching! I have attended two different meetings at the Ministry since my last report. The first was of the Grad Prototype Working Group. We were presented
with information about what the Ministry had been working on since we had met previously in April and they introduced us to the prototype they had developed, which has since been posted: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum. The executive will be looking at the prototype and preparing a response at our upcoming meeting. I would encourage you, either individually or with your LSA, to also review the prototype and comment on it. It is still unclear what the role of “applied skills” will be in the new grad program. I believe on the prototype we fall under the “Design and Technical Skills” category. The meeting of the Standing Committee on Education was also primarily about passing on information about what the Ministry of Education has been working on. Right now teams are being called in to being work on the Gr. 10-‐12 drafts for core subject areas. At the same time, the K-‐9 drafts are being looked at again in light of the feedback provided. (There has been very little feedback on the Health and PE curriculum, so I would encourage you to look at it and send any feedback.) The THESA Executive submitted a response to Health and PE, stating primarily that PE should focus more on activities and have less “bookwork” and expressing concerns about teachers without any background teaching sensitive topics like sexuality. We also stated that it would be important to support the new curriculum with inservice and resources if it goes forward. There was a short presentation on Applied Skills at the end of the meeting. I did send out a summary of that information (my summary was almost word for word what was presented on the powerpoint at the meeting). It appears that they are looking at a broad set of outcomes for “applied skills” that could be used in any subject area, including core academics. It means Home Economics could still continue, but would also provide districts and schools much flexibility in what and how they wanted to offer as applied skills. I’m not sure what that means for courses like ours that require larger budgets and equipment to run. I have written a response that I want to send to the Ministry stating why this may not be the best approach to our subject areas, but am still waiting for permission from the BCTF to send it. Be assured that the Executive and I will be watching closely and strongly advocating for Home Economics in the new grad program. Paula

This year’s THESA conference will be held at RC Palmer secondary school in beautiful Richmond, BC. The theme of this year’s conference is “Home Economics: The heart of education.” Just as the kitchen is the heart of the home, Home Economics classrooms are the heart of the school. The skills and knowledge that students gain in Home Ec courses nourish their bodies, minds and hearts. Our students feel cared for and supported within this context. Please consider presenting a workshop, discussion group, or seminar to enrich teacher practice and support student learning. This year’s conference will highlight and celebrate the importance of Home Economics courses in the hearts and minds of our students. Whether you come to present, to learn, to connect, or to share, we look forward to seeing you at THESA 2015!

Spotlight on THESA Member Name: Martina Seo Twitter: @martinaseo Facebook: wvssfood Instagram: Martina Seo www.martinaseo.weebly.com [email protected] What do you teach: I teach Foods and Nutrition 8, 9
and 11 at West Vancouver Secondary School. What did you study: At University of British Columbia
(UBC), I graduated from Bachelor of Home Economics, Bachelor of Education, Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Coursework Certificate and currently, I am enrolled in UBC Master of Education Program.
How you got into teaching Home Economics:
Madeline Wong asked me to join her in the Bachelor of Home Economics in 1996, so she walked me over to the Dean’s Office and I asked if I could join the program. The dean said yes! It might have been Linda Peterat? My mom also studied to become a Home Economics teacher at Ewha Women’s University in Seoul, Korea. My fondest memories as a child were baking and cooking in the kitchen with my mom!
You favourite thing about being a home ec teacher: I love teaching students new cookery principles,
health and nutrition and seeing the “ah-‐ha” moment in their eyes! I love making amazingly great and healthy foods with my students.
A pet peeve you have (about teaching or anything else): I love kindness and empathy. I want to teach
my students to help each other and work together. I guess my pet peeve would be unkindness and disrespectful behavior.
Your favorite lesson that you teach: I love teaching the Food Truck Unit because we research and
discuss the phenomenon of Food Trucks. And then, they build their own Food Truck business plan and menu. Next, they make 1 dish from their Food Truck menu and finally, we invite 5 food trucks to our school for the year end event! My students get to interview the food truck owners and enjoy eating their food with the rest of the school, staff and parents. It is truly an amazing and unforgettable unit! My students are looking forward to this year’s event with Guanaco, Reel Mac and Cheese, Korean Mama, Taser Sandwiches and Holy Perogy!
Another great lesson I do is the Sushi Lesson with my mom. My mom studied to be a Home Economics
teacher at Ewha Women’s University. I ask her to come in and do a demonstration with my students. They love her! She teaches them how to assemble and roll sushi and she’s so cute! My superintendent Chris Kennedy came in to meet and participate with her!

A funny story/flop of a lesson gone wrong: There are too many. First, when I was TOCing, a grade 8 boy grabbed his granola baking tray out of the oven without oven mitts and I have never seen purple, melted skin before! Second, when we were baking cookies, an international student read: melt butter in a saucepan. I watched him place the butter in a metal saucepan and place it in the microwave and turn it on as I screamed NOOOOO from the back of the room. Third, one student cut jalapeno peppers for her chili and then rubbed her eye. I sent her to the eye wash station in the science room. She came back with a huge, red swollen left eye and had a eyeliner pencil in her right hand and she asked me: Do you think if I put this eyeliner on, it will hide it. I said: No, go call your mom and go home. Don’t put any make up on your eye. It was the size of a softball! Fourth, I showed my grade 8s how to cut an onion in half and then put the flat edge down and slice it across. I told them not to put it on the curved edge because it would not be stable and they would cut themselves. Not even 5 minutes later, a boy came up to me with a gash in his hand and I asked him what happened? He replied he cut the onion on the curved side because he wanted to experience it himself. OMG! I love my kids!
Any "discovery" you've made lately you think other
home ec teachers might like to know about: People want to help you. I contacted the Vancouver Chapter of Celiac Association and three little grandmas come out and do a demonstration and share about their own personal struggles with the health. One used to be a teacher, one comes with pre-‐baked goods and one is the president of the association. My superintendent asked me to invite him to bake with my students and he came twice and took pictures and posted them on Twitter. One of the photos was featured in the North Shore Newspaper. I contacted my district dietician and she came in and did a lesson about health, nutrition and body image. She was great! I’m taking my students to a local supermarket tour and learning about the power of perimeter because I started talking to the manager of the meat department! He came in last year with a bunch of meat and deboned a whole chicken for my students within minutes! It was amazing! Just contact people and they will be more than willing to have you come to their facilities or come and speak to your students! Something you wish the general public knew about home ec: We are the most important subject because we need healthy nutrition and basic cookery skills to survive and take over the world! What a great place to apply your math skills, science knowledge in regards to food, English comprehension of recipe deciphering, history and origin of food, time management skills and learn teamwork. We are a holistic and fun subject area! Don’t underestimate us, we are home economics teachers and we are not going anywhere! "Do you think you or another home economics teacher you know should have the spot light shone on them in our next news letter? Email [email protected] to put in a nomination!"

The Canadian Symposium XIII: Issues and Directions in Home
Economics / Family Studies / Human Ecology Education Was held February 27-28 and March 1 in Winnipeg. Attendees were from Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, the U.S., Egypt and Japan. BC had a strong delegation of fourteen people in attendance. The diverse and wide-ranging topics contributed to energizing and innovating discussions on home economics education in the true spirit of a symposium where everyone has something to say and can be heard and where we are all “experts”. The program was divided into themes which culminated in a final discussion and promise to attend the next symposium in 2017, planned for Ontario. Proceedings of the symposium will be available at www.canadiansymposium.ca in May. Check this site out for proceedings of past symposia. The presentations by BC delegates included the following: What Does "Bring Back Home Ec" Mean For Us?

The Hands-on Cook-off Contest is back!
Looking for a group activity for your Foods students? Invite them to enter the Hands-on Cook-off Contest!
For the third year, the Better Together annual Hands-on Cook-off contest is coming to schools across BC this spring with a special category for Youth. Last year’s Grand Prize winners were students from Marnie Mennell’s Home Economics class in Summerland. Here’s how it works. Anyone in BC can enter anytime between April 15 and May 15, 2015. To enter in the Youth category: Simply grab a group of friends or classmates and create a short, punchy video that shows in less than 3 minutes how to make one of your favourite recipes (breakfast, BBQ, pizza, salad, dinner, snack, dessert). There are no tech skills required—videos can even be made using phone video cameras. Important tips for an eligible entry:
• Teachers can act as team captains, supervise or help film the video segment but to be eligible for the Youth category, we can only hear/see students in the video.
• Music used in the video has to be royalty-free.
• Students must ensure brands and third party logos (on clothes, equipment, tools and
ingredients) are not identifiable. Students can for example put ingredients in little bowls to avoid the problem of seeing brands on packaged ingredients.
Win great prizes. Students can win cash for their team and cash for their school or program of choice. That means extra funds for your FOODS class.
• Grand Prize: $500 cash for the winning team plus $500 cash for their school or youth program.
• Runner Up Prize: $250 cash for the winning team plus $250 cash for their school or youth program.
• People’s Choice Prize: Students can ask their school community, friends and family to vote for
their video. The video with the most votes will win the People’s Choice Award in the Youth category consisting of $150 cash for the winning team and $150 cash for their school or youth program.
Full contest details, including sample videos, can be found here: http://bettertogetherbc.ca/contest
Get your video ideas ready now and enter the contest between April 15 and May 15!
