EARLY LEARNING COALITION OF DUVAL Town Hall

Open Discussion

HB 1091 Updates

House Bill 1091 During the 2018 Legislative Session, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1091, which increases quality and accountability in the School Readiness Program. The Office of Early Learning is leading the implementation of this legislation in partnership with local early learning coalitions. The program assessment tool to be used is the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS). The CLASS assessment is recognized internationally for capturing the elements within a classroom that improve child outcomes. This assessment primarily measures the quality of classroom interactions between teachers and children. Many child care programs have already experienced this through Florida's Early Learning Performance Funding Project (ELPFP) and other quality programs

ZER IN ON SAFETY

Sound the Alarm. Save a Life. Module 1 11/19/2019 Sound the Alarm. Save a Life. Red Cross Home Fire Campaign Narrator Notes:

Build Resilient Communities Module 1 11/19/2019 CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES Save Lives Reduce Injuries Build Resilient Communities NATIONAL GOAL 25% reduction in home fire deaths and injuries Narrator Notes: Every year, the American Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters – the vast majority of which are home fires. And tragically, on average seven people die in home fires every day, most in homes that lack working smoke alarms. Home fires are the biggest disaster threat to Americans. That’s why the American Red Cross launched the Home Fire Campaign in 2014 which aims to reduce home fire deaths and injuries by 25 percent. A critical part of the Home Fire Campaign is Sound the Alarm, a series of year-round events where the Red Cross and its partners conduct in-home visits to provide home fire safety education and free smoke alarm installations in at-risk communities. We know that working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire by half, and having an escape plan further improves the odds of survival.

YOU Are Prepared? 11/19/2019 Module 1 Narrator Notes: We want you and your loved ones to be safe, too! Are you and all other members of your household practicing life-saving home fire prevention behaviors? Does your home have working smoke alarms? Are they less than ten years old? Do you test your smoke alarms once a month? Have you developed a 2 Minute Home Fire Escape Plan and have you practiced it at least twice a year with your entire household? These preparedness actions could save your life and the lives of your loved ones. Creating and practicing your home fire escape plan and implementing fire safe behaviors in your own household will enable you to share this information more effectively with others because you'll be speaking from experience. 18
