THE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM NETWORK

Presented by Dr. Michael StantonSpecial consultant for Leadership and Special ProjectsPED College and Career Readiness Bureau

CHALLENGES FACING EWS SCHOOL LEADERS IN NEW MEXICO

• Shrinking budgets impacting access and travel to professional learning opportunities.

• Few opportunities to collaborate with peers and education experts to solve complex problems beyond own local professional network.

• Limited access to on-going expertise and knowledge in the latest tools, resources, & learning experiences that support improved student outcomes.

How do we continue the energy and planning developed during Starting Strong and implement what we learn – next Monday and

beyond?

PROJECT ECHO: FROM ONE TO MANY

• Hepatitis C Treatment in 2004 in Rural NM• 28,000 infected – less than 5% treated• One Medical in our Satet - at UNM H – 9 month wait

Good news...• Curable in 70% of cases

Bad news... • Severe side effects: anemia (100%) neutropenia

>35% depression >25% • No Primary Care Physicians treating HCV Stanton/PED 5

GOALS OF PROJECT ECHO

• Develop capacity to safely and effectively treat HCV in all areas of New Mexico and to monitor outcomes.

• Develop a model to treat complex diseases in rural locations and developing countries.

Stanton/PED 6

METHODS

• Use Technology to leverage scarce resources • Sharing “best practices” to reduce disparities • Case based learning to master complexity • Web-based database to monitor outcomes

Stanton/PED 7

STEPS

• Train physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, educators in HCV

• Train to use web-based software — iECHO & ECHO Health® • Conduct teleECHOTM clinics — “Knowledge Networks” • Initiate case-based guided practice — “Learning Loops” • Collect data and monitor outcomes centrally • Assess cost and effectiveness of programs

Stanton/PED 8

The ECHO Model works!

Rural primary care Clinicians deliver Hepatitis C care under the aegis of Project ECHO that is as safe and effective as that given in a University clinic.

Project ECHO improves access to hepatitis C care for New Mexico minorities.

THE NM ECHO FOR EDUCATION INAUGURAL NETWORKADDRESSED THE COMPLEX CHALLENGE OF HIGH SCHOOL

GRADUATION

Stanton/PED

The most recent overall state graduation rate is only 71%

However, graduation rates are 16.7% higher among student Concentrators in Career Technical Education curriculum, learning experiences, and hands on activities.

Our driving question: How can we, as teacher leaders in our school, increase our knowledge in innovative practices that overcome the barriers that effect students on their path toward graduation, by including more of of what works in Career Education across general education classrooms and learning experiences.
