Guest Host, Jasmine Coleman, Ed.D. talks with Rich Burger, Signature Support Team AACPS and educators & community partners at Northeast and Glen Burnie high schools about signature programs.
A
Welcome
and
thanks
for
joining
us
for
ASI
on
course,
an
Anne
Arundel,
County
Public
Schools
journey.
We
intend
to
take
you
on
a
fascinating
trip
through
the
county
and
feature
the
amazing
that
happens
in
our
classrooms.
Each
and
every
day
our
travels
will
explore
aspects
of
the
division
of
academic
and
strategic
initiatives
whose
focus
is
directed
solely
towards
supporting
all
students
in
their
learning,
travels,
welcome
aboard
and
enjoy
the
ride.
Our
show
today
features
several
cutting-edge
opportunities
offered
by
our
signature
programs
here
in
a
ACPs,
so
give
us
some
insight
into
these
signature
programs.
A
A
B
My
background,
41
years
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public,
Schools,
classroom
teacher
resource
teacher
teacher
specialist
signature
as
part
of
the
Advanced
Studies
and
programs
office,
where
I've
been
for
a
good
while
now
I'm
a
teacher
specialist
and
the
lead
of
a
three
person
team
supporting
signature
programs
across
all
12
of
our
high
schools.
Phenomenal.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that
now,
specifically
today,
we're
gonna
look
at
three
high
schools
and
the
signature
programs,
and
the
amazing
opportunities
that
we
offer
before
we
delve
into
the
greatness
is
happening
at
these
schools.
Can
you
travel
back
in
time
and
give
us
some
insight
into
the
signature
program
and
how
it
came
to
be
what
it
is
today?
Okay,.
B
Well,
signature
is
11
or
12
years
old.
The
concept
was
brought
to
the
county
by
dr.
maureen
mcmahon,
and
the
idea
behind
signature
is
to
offer
high
school
students
a
series
of
courses
designed
to
connect
their
classroom
instruction
with
real-world
situations
and
college
and
career
skills
relevant
to
each
school's
local
community.
B
Signature
programs
provide
thematic
opportunities
for
students
within
their
home
schools.
Each
high
school
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
offers
a
unique
set
of
signature,
related
courses
again
that
are
connected
and
were
in
fact
chosen
by
members
of
the
surrounding
community.
Students
can
choose
to
enroll
in
individual
signature
related
courses,
or
they
can
take
multiple
courses
across
their
signature
pathway
for
the
opportunity
to
earn
signature
related
college
credit,
while
still
enrolled
in
high
school
Wow.
A
So
that
opportunity
is
super
dynamic
and
I
know
that
it's
everywhere
in
every
high
school
CCPs
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
look
at
three
specific
high
schools
and
the
value
that
they
bring
to
the
students.
Why
don't
we
start
with
North
East
High
School?
Can
you
tell
me
about
the
signature
theme
at
Northeast
high
school
and
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that
program
offers?
Specifically,
okay,.
B
Well,
northeast
theme
is
human
performance,
healthy
mind,
body
and
soul,
and
the
idea
there
is
what
are
all
the
issues
within
a
community
within
a
state
within
a
nation
that
affect
human
performance.
What
do
we
do
and
we
don't
want
to
think
about
just
the
athletics
side.
You
know
it's
not
just
Athletic
Trainers,
but
in
all
ways
in
all
aspects.
What
do
we
do
to
affect
to
improve
how
we
are
as
human
beings?
B
Significantly
at
Northeast
we
have
an
AI
CST
group
that
is
exemplary.
I
CST
is
integrated
community
stakeholders
team
each
signature
has
an
ICS
T.
That
is
the
guiding
body
for
the
program
to
bring
in
those
outfits
outside
influences.
You
know,
I'm
a
teacher.
What
do
I
know
about
the
world
of
business?
What
do
I
know
about
government
and
industry
and
higher
ed?
B
This
group
brought
us
to
the
idea
that
we
need
to
explore
for
human
performance,
community
problems
and
the
focus
of
what
the
students
were
working
on
within
the
class
became
opioid
addiction
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
which
is
a
serious
problem
everywhere,
and
so
these
folks
informed
us
of
ways
to
research,
the
problem
and
finding
guest
speakers
and
finding
identifying
careers
within
this
particular
area,
and
eventually
this
led
to
the
creation
at
Northeast
of
the
haunted
house
of
addiction
and
the
trunk-or-treat
activity.
The
haunted
house
of
addiction
is
a
very
engaging
and
somewhat
terrifying.
B
A
Haunted
house
of
addiction,
it
certainly
is
a
creative,
take
on
a
serious
issue.
Yes,
phenomena
were
able
to
do
that
and
the
community
partners
were
able
to
help
facilitate
that
with
the
students.
Truly,
you
know
evidence
of
the
power
of
partnerships
which
I
was
able
to
visit
in
North
East
High
School
recently,
and
let
me
tell
you
what
I
observed
was
phenomenal,
we're
here
at
Northeast,
High
School,
with
two
phenomenal
members
of
the
signature,
human
performance,
I,
CST,
Scott,
Wallace
and
Carol
Perico.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
with
me
today.
Thank.
A
C
Work
with
Anne
Arundel
Workforce
Development,
Corporation
I'm,
the
director
of
business
solutions.
My
part
of
the
company
is
to
go
out
and
work
with
businesses
here
in
Anne
Arundel
County
to
find
out
what
their
needs
are,
bring
that
information
back
and
see
if
we
can
help
them
in
any
way
we
can
help
them
grow
thrive
here
in
the
county.
So.
D
A
Can
see
how
that
fits
into
the
Human
Performance
signature?
Well
again,
thank
you.
So
much
I'm
excited
to
talk
with
you
all
about
your
history
with
the
I
CST
here
and
what
you
like
about
it.
So
can
you
tell
me
when
you
started
Scott
with
the
ICSD
or
how
long
have
you
been
working
with
them?
Oh
this.
C
Great,
a
lot
of
neat
projects
go
on
a
lot
of
neat
thoughts
and
ideas
come
out,
can't
act
on
every
one
of
the
good
ones,
but
you
know
for
the
most
part,
we
try
to
take
the
good
ones
and
run
with
them
and
develop
them,
and
that's
one
thing
about
brandy:
she's,
always
developing
the
program
and
going
in
new
directions,
different
directions
that
there
really
seem
to
fit
and
bring
a
benefit
to
the
school
here.
Absolutely.
A
D
Sure,
Carol
and
I've
been
here
for
about
three
years
as
well:
I
love
the
opportunity
to
work
with
brandy
and
the
other
teachers
and
work
on
integrating
some
really
innovative
ideas
and
to
these
projects
for
the
students
and
engage
them
in
some
hands-on
learning
really
brings
connections
to
the
outside
world.
For
them
you.
A
Know
I
hear
about
that
a
lot,
but
there's
a
lot
of
innovative
ideas
that
go
on
in
really
cool
projects
that
are
discussed
in
the
ICS
T
I'm
interested
to
know
what
your
favorite
is.
Your
favorite
initiative,
your
favorite
project,
your
favorite
event
that
the
ICS
T
helps
with
with
a
signature
program
here
at
Northeast.
Okay,.
D
D
I
was
like
wow,
okay,
I
mean
I,
did
a
quick,
Google
search,
we
started
finding
things
and
then
we
took
off
from
there
and
it's
been
it's
variety
and
it's
very
entertaining
and
engaging
and
the
students
really
take
it
on
and
take
on
ownership
and
the
learning
that
takes
place
for
them
and
then
how
they
want
to
take
what
they've
learned
and
then
transfer
it
to
the
community
and
to
other
students.
It's
it's
just
a
great
experience
and.
A
Such
an
interesting
pairing,
talking
about
innovative
haunted-house
of
addictions
and
I,
know
that
in
the
state
of
Maryland
and
really
across
our
nation,
the
opioid
crisis
is
a
big
deal
to
say
the
very
least.
So
I
think
it's
wonderful
that
the
students
have
that
opportunity
and
the
community
partners
have
the
opportunity
to
give
back
to
those
around
us
and
maybe
help
address
that
issue.
Thanks
for
sharing
Carole,
what
do
I
you
Scott.
What's
your
favorite,
we.
C
E
E
C
A
A
A
Final
signature
program
that
we're
gonna
highlight
today
is
the
signature
program
Glenn
for
any
high
school
now
Ritchie
a
little
birdie
told
me
that
there's
a
brand
new
9-1-1
call
takers
course.
Can
you
tell
me
before
we
get
too
far
ahead
of
ourselves
about
glen
burnie,
about
this
course
and
about
the
signature
theme
at
glen,
burnie,
high
school,
okay,.
B
Glen
burnie
steam
is
public
service
and
the
county
police
came
to
us
about
two
years
ago,
recognizing
a
need
for
911
call
takers
and
seeing
that
the
public
service
theme
of
glen
burnie
would
be
a
perfect
place
to
try
and
run
a
call
taker
training
class
so
that
these
students,
who
had
an
interest
in
law
enforcement,
Public
Service
careers,
could
be
trained
in
on
one
one
call
taking
and
could
potentially
feed
the
county's
need
for
people
in
this
field.
The
911
call
taker
program
nationwide
is
constantly
churning
and
turning
over
and
they
need
students.
B
When
these
students
graduate
in
this
is
a
class
for
seniors
only
because
they
have
to
be
18
in
order
to
apply
for
positions
as
911
call
takers,
when
these
students
graduate
at
the
end
of
this
school
year,
they
will
be
fully
prepared
and
encouraged
to
apply
to
be
911
an
Arundel
County
police,
incredible
opportunity
for
our
children.
It's.
A
A
great
day
at
Glen
Burnie
high
school,
we
are
here
with
miss
Janice
Neumann
and
she
is
the
course
leader.
The
teacher
of
the
9-1-1
first
responders
course:
Janet
I'm,
Janice
I'm,
so
happy
to
be
here
with
you
today.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me.
Thank
you.
So
can
you
give
me
the
correct
name,
the
official
title
of
the
9-1-1
course
what.
F
A
F
Of
all
the
course
is
to
planning
to
mimic
what
a
person
that's
hired
as
a
9:1
operator,
whether
it
be
a
call
taker,
a
dispatcher
for
the
Anne
Arundel
County
Police
Department,
what
what
they
would
get
if
they
were
hired
new.
So
the
idea
is
to
mimic
what
those
people
would
learn
only
in
a
school
environment
and
make
it
so
that's
able
to
fit
the
curriculum
throughout
the
whole
year
rather
than
taking
a
six
or
eight
week
course
at
the
police
department
is
not
new
hired
employee
can.
F
So
the
background
of
the
course
would
be
that
there
are
some
people
that
kind
of
got
together
and
said:
hey.
We
would
like
to
see
if
we
can
reach
out
to
this
group
of
people
looking
at
students
coming
out
of
high
school
and
how
really
ready
they
are
with
media
type
stuff
and
how
quick
they
can
think
and
like
they're
so
into
using
different
kinds
of
like
the
keyboards
and
computers
and
stuff
like
that
they're
very
savvy.
F
So
let's
look
at
them
and
see
what
they
can
do
and
give
them
an
opportunity
to
get
into
a
career
field
that
maybe
they
didn't
know,
even
existed
Wow.
So
people
want
to
grow
up
and
be
police
officers
and
want
to
be
firefighters,
but
they
don't
think
about.
You
know
who's
behind
the
mike,
on
the
other
end
of
that.
So
the
goal
then
would
be
to
get
this
young
group
of
people
ready
to
do
that.
Type
of
work
am.
A
F
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
to
mimic
what
somebody
that
would
be
newly
hired
as
they
call
taker
or
a
dispatcher
in
an
Orange
County
would
get
instead
of
doing
a
class
that
several
weeks
as
a
new
hire
employee
that'll
take
this
throughout
the
course
of
the
year.
So
this
class
started
in
September
and
will
end
in
June
or
May
23rd.
Actually,
because
that's
what
high
school
seniors
aha
I
mean
it
is
geared
just
towards
high
school
seniors,
and
the
class
is
an
hour
and
a
half
so
versus
people
that
go
to
work.
F
To
learn
the
job
eight
hours
a
day
for
several
weeks,
they're
coming
in
here
over
the
course
of
the
year
for
an
hour
and
a
half
every
other
day,
Wow
to
learn
this
class.
But
it
should
be
mimicking
what
their
would
be
learning
if
they
were
hired
as
a
new
hire
employee,
which
in
turn
should
have
actually
helped
if
they
decide
that
they
want
to
go
forward
with
it
and
take
the
job
that
apply.
F
A
Absolutely
I
mean
talk
about
real
world
relevance,
college
and
career
readiness,
where
career
readiness
I'm
getting
really
excited
as
an
educator
I'm
sure
that
the
students
are
appreciative
of
this
experience
as
well,
and
we
talk
often
about
first
responders
and
how
this
is
set
up
as
a
first
responders
course.
But
in
the
conversation
that
we've
had
off-camera
you,
let
me
know
there
was
a
difference
between
what
the
students
are
doing
and
what
we
necessarily
would
classify
as
first
responders.
Can
you
explain
yeah.
F
So
most
people
I
think
the
first
responder
is
the
police
officer
or
a
firefighter
and
they're
the
first
people
that
are
on
a
scene.
But
when
somebody
calls
9-1-1
the
call
taker
the
person
they
get
on,
the
is
the
first
First
Responder.
The
first
person
actually
give
the
person
that's
calling
in
the
help
that
they
need
so.
F
A
What
is
it
usually
socially
understood?
Yes,
that's
great
I
just
have
one
final
question
for
you.
If
you
had
to
pick,
let's
say
your
students
get
only
takeaway
one
key
thing
about
this
course
and
you
knew
they
could
only
walk
away
with
one
thing:
what
is
the
one
thing
that
you
wouldn't
want
them
to
walk
away
with?
Okay,.
F
So
I
know
that
some
of
them
are
not
going
to
move
on
to
this
to
be
their
career
field.
Some
want
to
be
firefighters
and
some
want
to
be
police
officers.
Some
just
want
the
knowledge
of
it.
So
I'm
going
to
say
that's
what
I
want
them
to
walk
away
with
it,
at
least
the
knowledge
of
when
they're
the
ones
who
have
to
make
a
call.
A
Thank
you
so
much
miss
Newman
for
having
me
and
thank
you
so
much
for
what
you're
doing,
because
I
know
that
you're
teaching
for
the
public
service
program
but
imparting
this
knowledge
and
insight
onto
the
students
is
actually
a
public
service
in
itself.
So
we
appreciate
you
and
thanks
for
having
me
here
today,
thanks
very
much
for
coming
rich
I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
and
joining
us
at
ASI.
On
course.
A
A
Thank
you
for
joining
us
here
at
on
course,
on
behalf
of
the
office
of
a
ACPs
signature
program
and
the
division
of
academics
and
strategic
initiatives.
We
hope
that
you
found
this
information
useful
and
now
have
a
better
understanding
of
all
the
awesome
that
a
ACPs
has
to
offer.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
again
as
we
keep
ASI
on
course,
in
Anne
Arundel,
County,
Public,
Schools,.
G
When
a
school
bus
stops
to
load
students
as
a
driver,
this
is
what
you
will
see
at
a
hundred
and
fifty
feet.
The
bus
will
activate
hazard
lights
at
a
hundred
feet.
The
bus
driver
will
activate
the
amber
lights,
they
will
start
slowing
down
at
ten
feet
before
the
bus
stops.
They
will
turn
on
the
red
bus
lights,
their
stop
sign
will
come
out
and
students
will
begin
to
load
once
all
students
are
on
board
safely.
The
bus
driver
will
turn
off
red
lights
and
move
forward
at
this
time.
H
From
the
time
really,
I
was
in
high
school
I
started
to
see
that
fundraising,
especially
as
a
student,
could
be
a
way
to
contribute,
no
matter
what
it
is
that
you're
good
at
or
what
you
care
about.
My
older
brother
told
me
about
this
film
called
the
rough
cut.
It's
a
documentary
made
by
the
founders
of
Invisible
Children.
They
went
to
Uganda
stumbled
into
the
situation
of
child
soldiers
happening
there.
It
was
the
first
time
that
I
had
really
been
hit
over
the
head
with
wow.
The
world
is
bigger.
H
H
I
H
Think
I
learned
a
lot
from
my
early
days
in
fundraising
that
has
stuck
with
me
I
work
for
the
nexus
fund.
We
are
a
small
nonprofit
that
works
to
prevent
mass
atrocities
and
genocide,
so
we
go
into
countries
that
are
statistically
shown
to
be
at
high
risk,
but
where
there's
still
time
for
a
prevention
and
we
go
in
and
we
identify
local
partners,
local
organizations
on
the
ground,
we
ask
them.
H
What
do
you
need
to
prevent
violence
in
your
communities
and
then
we
fund
those
efforts,
part
of
what
I've
really
come
to
learn
as
I've
gotten
older,
is
that
the
best
way
that
I
can
help
people
in
these
situations
is
by
supporting
them
in
their
own
work?
I
will
never
understand
how
to
solve
problems
in
northern
Nigeria
like
a
northern
Nigerian
well,
and
so
the
best
thing
I
can
do
is
help
get
them
resources.
One
of
my
field
suffers
because
he
is
Christian
in
a
town
that
is
about
90
percent
Muslim.
H
There
was
an
attack
that
broke
out,
and
so
his
house
was
bombed.
His
car
was
bombed.
He
literally
was
in
hiding
with
his
family
and
he's
telling
me
this
story
and
I'm
just
like
how
did
you
get
through
this
and
his
responses
was
I
started
a
non-profit,
so
he
runs
programs
with
youth
where
they
play
soccer
and
they're
from
all
different
religions
and
they're
on
all
different
teams
together
and
that's
how
they
build
dialogue
and
peace
through
soccer
I
was
just
so
impressed
because
I
would
I
was
like.
H
How
did
you
take
this
really
awful
experience
and
turn
that
into
something
so
powerful?
And
he
just
kept
saying
you
know:
I
I,
just
believe
love
is
the
key
to
blocking
hatred
we
have
to.
We
have
to
do
more.
I
have
traveled
a
lot
and
I've
been
very
fortunate
to
be
abroad
to
get
him
out,
but
I
had
never
been
in
places
that
have
been
faced
with
such
fear
and
such
violence.
So
the
trip
was
equally
heartbreaking
and
inspiring
they're,
just
so
strong
and
so
resilient.
H
That
really
motivates
me
to
do
what
I
can
and
I
think
that
it's
my
duty
to
give
back
to
people
that
literally
just
don't,
have
the
same
opportunities,
not
through
any
fault
of
their
own,
not
their
anything
they've
done,
but
because
they
got
dealt
a
different
hand
to
be
dealt
that
hand
of
cards.
I.
Just
can't
imagine-
and
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
to
prevent
that.
H
I
H
Don't
do
work
like
this
for
glory
or
recognition,
but
I
care
a
lot
about
it
and
I
know
that
what
I'm
doing
is
making
a
difference
in
the
world
being
a
teenager
is
really
hard.
You
go
through
a
lot
and
are
learning
a
lot
about
yourself
and
growing
up
a
lot
and
so
to
have
a
really
supportive
family
of
teachers
that
look
out
for
you
and
take
care
of
you
and
challenge
you
to
do
more
and
then
can
set
you
free
into
the
world
equipped
with
everything
you
need.

K
Welcome
to
the
environmental
literacy
experience
for
all
kindergarteners
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
Public
Schools
every
kindergarten
class
participates
in
an
outdoor
environmental
program.
Called
trees
are
terrific
at
a
site
in
Anne
Arundel
County,
through
engaging
hands-on
activities.
Students
investigate
the
lifecycle
of
a
tree,
learn
about
forest
ecology,
discover
that
trees,
protect
water
quality
and
take
action
to
help
the
environment.
This
is
part
of
the
kindergarten
interdisciplinary
environmental
literacy
unit
that
includes
a
day
of
learning
at
school,
a
field
experience
in
a
day
of
reflection
and
communication
back
at
school.
They
are.
L
Gonna
bring
their
learning
back
into
the
classroom
and
then
what
I'm
trying
to
teach
them
is
going
to
make
so
much
more
sense,
so
I've
introduced
it,
but
now
they're
going
to
be
able
to
tell
me
what
those
routes
do,
what
the
stem
of
a
plant
is
going
to
be.
That's
we're
gonna,
compare
it
to
a
trunk
of
the
tree
that
they've
been
out
here
and
seen
so,
bringing
all
that
learning
and
experience
into
the
classroom
just
widened
their
horizon
and
their
paradigm
I
mean
it's
just
beyond
belief.
K
Terrific
in
the
spring,
students
will
put
their
knowledge
and
experience
to
work
they
plant
in
care
for
a
tree
at
school
and
promote
tree
conservation
through
reducing
reusing
and
recycling
tree
products
from
beginning
to
end.
This
unit
integrates
standards
for
environmental
literacy,
science,
social
studies,
Common
Core,
language,
arts
and
math,
physical
education
and
other
Arius.
K
Almost
any
aspect
of
this
experience
can
be
magical
for
a
child,
walking
on
an
unpaved
trail
looking
up
into
the
forest
canopy
listening
to
birds,
sing
measuring
an
ancient
tree
by
holding
hands
with
a
friend
riding
in
a
rowboat
holding
a
fish
collecting
tree
seeds,
building
a
nest
or
digging
in
the
leaf
litter.
These
and
other
hands-on
experiences
make
a
lasting
impression
on
kindergartners
for
them.
M
To
be
able
to
feel
it
and
touch
it
and
see
it,
it's
different
stages
from
the
seed.
The
small
tree
is
the
large
trees
being
on
the
water.
All
that
it
kind
of
brings
it
full
circle
for
the
kids,
where
a
lot
of
times
in
the
classroom,
its
kind
of
segmented.
So
they
don't
get
to
see
that
full
picture
being.
K
N
The
new
kindergarten,
first
and
second
grade
curriculums
are
designed
to
engage
students
in
a
variety
of
learning
opportunities
that
involve
cooperation
and
problem-solving
student
discourse
and
structure
play
developed
social
foundations
through
peer
interactions.
This
learning
bloc
promotes
curiosity,
imaginative
thought
and
responsiveness.
The
primary
focus
is
on
the
work
of
young
children
play
the
use
of
tools
and
materials.
Allow
students
to
share,
take,
turns
and
develop
the
confidence
to
make
effective
decisions
in
school
and
in
life.
Ask
your
child
how
they
interacted
with
their
friends
today,
while
engaging
in
structured
play.
