ISSUE

SPOKES Newsletter November

2016

RALEIGH COUNTY SPOKES IN THIS ISSUE: STUDENTS SUCCESS

In September, the Raleigh SPOKES

students spent about 20 hours

learning nutrition facts and how that

knowledge could be applied

to healthier eating habits. On

October 6, the WVU Extension

Nutrition Counselor Brandi

Cook "made it real" by taking the

SPOKES class grocery shopping.

The class visited the Harper Road

Kroger and Brandi took them on a

walk-through of the aisles. They

learned how to read nutrition labels

and heighten their awareness of the

cost per unit tags on the

shelves. After reviewing the food

groups, Brandi gave each student $10

and challenged them to purchase food to make a nutritious, balanced meal.

Armed with their $10, students

scattered in the store and

began reading nutrition labels,

comparing items, and budget

shopping. They purchased meats,

vegetables, fruit, and bread. At the

end of the

shopping spree,

everyone was

comparing their

selections and

taking pride in the fact that their food

items passed Brandi's good nutrition

test.

Brittany Davis, Summers County

SPOKES student recently obtained her

HSE and was recognized with a luncheon

and Pizza Hut. Congrats Brittany!

Making Good Nutrition Fun By Helena Ellis

Welcome Denise Adkins - new

Wyoming County SPOKES

instructor! Denise comes to us from

Mountain State Healthy Families and

was a former case worker for

DHHR. We look forward to having

Denise as part of the SPOKES team!

Heather Odom McDowell County SPOKES Student

MCDOWELL COUNTY, WV (WVVA) –

By Paul Hess (WVVA Article)

Thirty-seven adults in McDowell County have something to be proud of. They received their high school

equivalency diplomas during a program held Monday night.

The graduates attended one of three programs; Catholic Charities Adult Education, McDowell County

SPOKES, or McDowell County Adult Education.

"It means a lot. It's something that I really wanted. It gives me something that my kids can look forward to,"

says graduate Heather Odom.

Odom says it took her about eight months to complete the program at Catholic Charities and SPOKES. Her

next step is to become a Certified Nursing Assistant and then a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Distinguished students were given special recognition during the program, including the Academic Student of

the Year and the Spokes Student of the Year.

Braxton County SPOKES Success By Sandra Adkins

Kayla McCourt is a student who has been with SPOKES for the past two

months. After earning certifications in WIN, WV Welcome, North Star

Digital Literacy, and Customer Service Certification she has enrolled as

a full time student with Kaplan University to pursue her dream of

becoming a certified Medical Assistant. She is a diligent, hardworking

student who is constantly achieving every goal she has set for her future.

Way to go Kayla!!! I see a bright future ahead for you and your career.

During a recent staff meeting, Regional

Coordinator Shawn Cook facilitated a

Strategic Doing exercise for which staff

walked away with Big Easy strategies: a

BIG project that will provide positive

impact to the SPOKES program and

students, while EASY to accomplish. The

SPOKES Career Development

Consultants (CDCs) committed to

performing enhanced mock interviews

with students outside the CDC's usual

territory.

Mock interviews simulate real job

interviews and are conducted with

prospective job interviewees

(students). Students become very

acquainted/comfortable with their CDC

therefore not allowing for the mimicry of

a realistic job interview simulation for

training purposes.

The SPOKES CDCs decided to

coordinate their schedules periodically to

visit one another’s classroom for the

purpose of conducting enhanced mock

interviews, serving as unfamiliar

interviewers to the students. The goal is

to create a greater imitative practice. For

the inexperienced

interviewee/student,mock interviews

provide an excellent picture of what to

expect. In this situation, CDCs not only

help students reduce their stress and

anxiety while coaching them on any

shortcomings, but also acknowledge

areas in which they excel, thus boosting

their confidence.

Monroe County CDC Tina White, along

with Instructor Tammy Judy, arranged

mock interviews for students to be held

with CDC Joy Walker. In the process,

Ms. Judy recommended video-recording

the activity. This proved to be a valuable

exercise to evaluate the non-verbal

aspects of the student’s performance,

such as smile, enthusiasm, energy level,

voice, posture, and other behaviors. In

addition, observing the recording not

only assists the students, but also offers

CDCs an opportunity to examine their

manner conveyed while serving as an

interviewer and polish their own skills.

Plans are to continue fine tuning this Big

Easy to enhance student’s interview

success increasing lasting first

impressions with employers, and

securing employment opportunities.

Mock Interviews by Tina White

Local community members, Robin

Morgan - WorkForce West Virginia, Joy

Walker - CDC, SPOKES, Tammy Toney

- Raleigh County Adult Education,

Tiffanie Bishop - CDC, SPOKES and

Mary Lynn Flint, Fayette County Adult

Education participated in an "informal

Candid Community Conversation"

focusing on turning our five greatest

challenges for West Virginia into our

greatest opportunities. It was hosted by

the Appalachian Higher Education (AHE)

Network - a peer learning group

composed of postsecondary programs

and/or resource centers in 120 states of

the Appalachian region.

THIRD TIMES A CHARM By Helena Ellis Jessica Mitchell, 29, attended twice before, and

returned the third time in October. This time,

however, was different. She came motivated to

tackle the TASC exam, whereas in times past it was

all talk and no work. She passed all the subjects of

the TASC with the exception of math--she did not

pass the first two attempts. Jessica would not be

detered. On the third attempt, she made the passing

score and reached her goal. Jessica was so happy she

passed she was completing job applications on-line,

just so she could enter her new status: "high school

equivalency" in the education section. Jessica's

future plans are to work until the fall 2017 and

then enter college.

Guest speaker Lauren Weatherford of WVU Extension

Service visited the classroom on November 9th to present Stress

Less with Mindfulness. An appropriate topic with the

upcoming holiday season. Students learned about stress and

how our reactions to stress can cause all manner of issues. A

fun activity during the session is eating a chocolate kiss. While we

will typically rush to open and eat the chocolate, Lauren has us

unwrap it carefully and notice various things: is the label printed

on one or both sides, did you rip the foil wrapper, how does it

smell, and then she finally let us eat it. However, we were

directed to let it melt and enjoy the smoothness of the

chocolate. All in all, a reminder to slow down and enjoy

the journey. Lauren plans to return on a regular rotation in 2017.

Nicholas Spokes

Recently Gena Tinnel completed her

Core Skill Mastery course and

received her CSM Certificate of

High Performance. CSM is a

different type of certification.

According to the CSM website "it

demonstrates to employers the

characteristics that they value in all

employees, and indicates to colleges

those students who will thrive. The

skills and traits certified in the CSM

Certificate are challenging even for

college graduates, but the next-

generation technology of the CSM

Course means that it can be attained

by students of ALL educational

backgrounds."

(https://csmlearn.com) But that isn't

all the Gena completed this month.

She also took her WorkKeys test

earned her Gold Level National

Career Readiness Certificate. Way

to go Gena! Next up, finishing

requirements for the Ready to Work

Certificate.

November 15th found the SPOKES students,

Family Learning Center Career Pathway

students and Family Learning Center Adult

Education students coming together to learn

and earn their CPR and First Aid

Certification. RESA 1 Public Service

Instructor Larry Freeland taught the class for

the 12 students in attendance. Mr. Freeland is

also working with the staff of the daycare

center to recertify their employees. Thank you

Kenneth Lester Monroe County Over the past month work orders

have leveled off at about 10 open.

Some more project related items

have been added. The meeting /

Polycom equipment at the VoTech,

updating student images for WVEIS,

and AV installations for classrooms

are just some examples. We will

issue ChomeBooks to 7th graders at

MVS and PMS over the next month.

Donald Muncy Mercer County Employment began on November

10th. Went to RESA office in

Beckley to get an ID badge,

orientation, training, and necessary

paper work. Arrived at the Mercer

County Technology Office to meet

everyone and have the Monday

morning meeting. Drove to

Bluefield Middle School with Aiden

to assist in a network outage.

Discovered two failed switches that

needed replaced on the second floor

of the building. Traveled to PVMS to

assist Aiden, installed software on

the secretary’s computers, inspected

a Smart Board, and followed up on a

request from the principal to look at

the Head Cooks computer. Traveled

to RESA at Beckley to go over new

accounts and train on necessary

paperwork and reporting. Traveled

back to the Raleigh County Board

Office for paper work. Went to

PSHS to recover video footage from

the DVR system, replace a printer,

and install accounting software.

Brought a printer back to the office

from PSHS to troubleshoot, which

nothing is wrong with the printer.

Went to the Mercer County Board

Office to fix a printer, and get a

Mercer County ID Badge. Went to

PMS to get all workstations ready for

testing. Went to Glenwood to install

printers on several systems, work on

a printer in a classroom. Fix a

computer that would not start, or

provide sound before coming

inoperable. Printer in music room

does not print, so brought it back to

the office to look at.

Walter Newcomb McDowell County I and my colleagues attended a week

long Sixty hour Cisco training course

that furthered our abilities and

enriched the services that we

provide. I have taken the initiative in

the After School Robotics program

and will be hosting a DYI/Lego

robotics workshop on the 19th. Also,

I am working with the County

Administration on a BYOD plan for

the Students and Staff. This plan will

start to coalesce in the coming

months and I will continue to report

on it progress accordingly.

Nathanial Perry Raleigh County Responsibilities this month have

shifted from deployment to general

duties. With the completion of iPad

and MacBook deployment I was able

to start working on my backlogged

work orders. I have made good

progress towards clearing my work

order portal and getting back to a

“business as usual” schedule. I have

one special project I will be

performing the week of

Thanksgiving, and that is updating

the old lab computers at SSCES.

Joshua Prudich Mercer County This month I have replaced a few

projectors under warranty. I have

also hung five view sonic touch tvs

as well as five view sonic tvs. I have

replaced a printer and installed to the

lab. I Have reimaged multiple

laptops and desktops. I have

removed spyware and malware from

several desktops. I have resolved

issues with headphone jacks and

issues with drivers.

Justin Prudich Mercer County We have been working on our

scheduled visits still. I have been

visiting my assigned schools on a

weekly basis. We have just gotten in

the new replacements for the smart

projectors and I have installed a few.

We are still cleaning up getting the

art and music teachers new touch

displays and laptops. We are in the

process of refreshing a few schools

labs and servers.

Aaron Reed Mercer County I have created a Windows image for

the Transformer T100A model Asus

Transformer Books running

Windows 10 Education x86. I am

attempting to use a program called

CloneDeploy to simplify distribution

of the image due to the complexity

of imaging a mixture of 32-bit and

64-bit systems with System Center.

Because the Transformer Books use

UFEI instead of traditional BIOS,

32-bit boot images cannot start a 64-

bit image on the T100HA models.

I’ve used CloneDeploy to speed up

the creation of HomeBound laptops.

Because System Center requires all

images to be sysprepped, and the

HomeBound computers are not

added to a domain, the local user

accounts’ SID changes when

sysprep.exe is run, which breaks the

local group policy assignments.

CloneDeploy allows a computer to

be imaged without sysprep, which is

faster than our previous method of

using Windows System Restore.

Princeton Primary is currently using

a county refurbished server running

Windows Server 2012 R2, but I have

determined their previous server data

cannot be recovered without

repairing the original server. I’ve

installed a county refurbished server

at Montcalm Elementary and added

it to the MERCER.DOM domain. I

have also recovered the previous

server files that need to be

transferred to the new server via the

latest Windows Backup which was

still completing backups when the

server began to fail in early

September. Work is now focused on

establishing a trust between the

MERCER.DOM domain controllers

and the state domain controllers to

sync user names based on their

Office 365 account settings. I have

been working with Chris Casto on

establishing the trust via LDAPS.

Configuration is almost complete on

Chris’ end, and I expect we will be

syncing users within the month.

Aiden Vrenna Mercer County Worked together to replace all of the

workstations and laptops at

Montcalm and to switch that site to

our county domain.

I found two 48-port switches literally

burning at Bluefield Middle - a 5510

and a 4548. I found them powered

down initially. I power-cycled, and

they worked at first. I left to test the

network in a nearby lab, and by the

time I got there, the network was

down again. Returning to the MDF I

found the switches were powered

down again, and I saw and smelled

the acrid smoke of burning

electronics. Removing those units

was of course the first action. I

connected the router to a different

switch, restoring most of the school,

then returned with replacement

devices, resolving the issue. Various

additional things broke, and were

fixed.

John Watson RESA 1 This month has been busy with

Internet connectivity issues in

several SPOKES locations. Printer

issues, DVD drive delivery, and

general repairs have been addressed

while at these locations as well.

Clean up of configuration files in

routers is an ongoing task this

month. Assisting with the

procurement of computer furniture

and office divider walls for the

technology office was a task of

opportunity that we worked into the

schedule. The Network Strategies

and Design conference in Bridgeport

rounded out the month.

Joel Weiss Mercer County Over the past month, I attended the

state TSS conference. I also assisted

our phone contractor with the

installation of 15 IP phone drops at

Bluefield Middle School. I have been

working in my assigned schools on

various technology repairs and

upgrades.
