(To realize maximum educational gains from a Tristate education center, it must collaborate closely with schools. Field trips to the center and in-school programs must all be integrated into an overall educational enhancement package.

Schools face constraints on both field trips and in-school programs. Building principals and school science and mathematics curriculum coordinators must be part of the GCSEC Concept Development Project team. The center and its programs and services should be designed to maximize their utilization by schools.)

GCSEC SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE

COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION
Version 1.0 6 January 1999

PURPOSE:

To contribute to development of an education center within the GCSEC concept and to maintain an on-going and mutually beneficial dialogue between GCSEC and grades K-16 school administrators throughout the Tristate region.

COMMITTEE SIZE AND ORGANIZATION:

• Four elementary school principals
• Four junior high/middle school principals
• Four high school principals
• Two school-wide science curriculum coordinators
• Two school-wide mathematics curriculum coordinators

There should be representation from each of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. There also should be representation from each of rural, suburban and urban school systems. There should also be at least one principal from a non-public school.

Each principal should be a member of at least one local or state principals association. The curriculum coordinators should be members of at least one local or national educational association.

Three people should be designated as tri-chairs, one representing each of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

COMMITTEE OBJECTIVES:

1. Provide representation for each state's administrators
2. Provide input to the GCSEC on issues and concerns of administrators regarding in school programs and school field trips
3. Provide input to and work with the teacher professional development advisory committee on workshops and programs that would meet school guidelines for continuing education
4. Provide suggestions for programs and services that could become part of the GCSEC
5. Promote and publicize the GCSEC concept and GCSEC events
6. Assist with GCSEC events when available, including soliciting volunteers

Other objectives may be added as the need arises.

COMMITTEE PROCEDURES:

The committee should try to meet as a whole about every two months. It is expected that regular communication would be via e-mail. Communication between the GCSEC and the committee would normally be through the tri-chairs. Material being reviewed by the committee, such as exhibit instructional labels, could be posted on a lower level of the GCSEC web site that is not advertised to the general public. That would allow the committee members to see and print (using their web browser) materials that might include diagrams, pictures and other graphics.
