46

HHHHHmmmmm…

Let’s chat…

47

Teaching Overview Consider starting this section with a statement

explaining your teaching role as an Extension Educator. This brief overview can help clarify the role teaching plays in extension outreach programs. It is also important to highlight how your educator role supports the mission and priorities of MCE and our College, if possible.

48

Sample Introductory Statement

Regional Extension Specialist in Natural Resources with primary responsibility for nine western Maryland counties and statewide as needed. Specialist is located at Western Maryland Research & Education Center and works as member of a team of four specialists with different areas of expertise. The primary program focus is protecting and enhancing Natural Resources. Specifically specialist job includes:1) Working with county educators to develop and implement natural resources programs for youth and adults in the area of forestry, wildlife, soils and water quality.2) Developing networks with existing agencies to implement innovative, educational programs.

49

Another exampleAccording to the 2006 Census Bureau statistics,

Montgomery County, Maryland has a population of 891,347…. With the increased number of immigrants and changes in family structure, social and economic circumstances, it is important to provide educational opportunities for youth and adults in youth development and leadership skills. This educator’s primary responsibility is…

50

Another option… The Extension educator is responsible for the development,

implementation and evaluation of high quality family and consumer science programs in both Garrett and Allegany Counties. These educational programs focus on improving the quality of life for individuals and families. Since 2000, this educator has developed and taught a total of 269 classes impacting 6,934 individuals. Specific classes focus on optimal health, nutrition, diabetes, weight management, food safety/healthy homes and financial management. All programs were promoted to ensure access to all individuals without regard to race, color, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, age, disability or marital or parental status.

51

Consider using your IEP nature and purpose statement… This Extension educator coordinates the 4-H Youth

Development program in Baltimore City. The primary responsibilities are to provide educational opportunities, secure grants and donations to expand 4-H programming, produce scholarly works and recruit and train youth and adult volunteers in various subject matter areas and develop partnerships through a city-wide approach to create positive change. The primary subject matter areas this educator is responsible for are leadership development, entrepreneurship, service-learning and environmental science.

52

Major Programs For each program description indicate:

The name of the program Demonstrated need The primary goals and objectives Target audiences and number of participants Specific outcomes and impact statements

Example…Nutrition, Heath and Wellness

Program description: Nutrition plays a vital role in overall health. Research has found that diet is associated with the leading causes of death, many of which are preventable - heart disease, diabetes, obesity and several types of cancer. Despite the importance of diet many Washington County residents fail to follow recommendation of the Dietary Guidelines and the My Pyramid which could help lower the risk of chronic diseases. All of these factors point to a need for educational programs and information on healthy diets and increased physical activity and helping county residents make behavior changes toward overall good health and well-being. Target audiences were clientele at senior centers, civic clubs, and clientele and staff from other state and county agencies.

56

Results/outcomes: In 2005 this educator taught seven classes for

103 individuals. Topics included making healthy food choices, planning healthy meals and increasing physical activity. Survey data indicated that 88% planned to choose healthier foods and 73% planned to increase physical activity levels. In addition…
