National Distinguished Principal, who has brought international acclaim to our profession through her

selfless dedication to the students of 186th

fundraising superstar who single-handedly raised thousands of dollars for scholarships from her

colleagues, friends, and family; and Steven L. Quon, AALA Administrator, who has spent numerous

years quietly defending AALA members with skill, tenacity, and respect.

Community Volunteer Awards were presented to six individuals and organizations that have made a

generous volunteer service. They were nominated by the principal of the school or supervisor of the

department where they were volunteering and each received a commemorative plaque from AALA and a

portrait, and a certificate from the Board of Education. This year, scholarships were presented in the

names of AALA’s past leadership―Dr. Dave Schwartz, Dr. Eli Brent, Dr. Michael O’Sullivan, and

HEALTH BENEFITS FAQ─

ARE YOU EATING HEALTHY TO STAY HEALTHY?

What is known about the dietary habits of Americans?

Government statistics show that nearly half of all American adults have one or more preventable, diet-

related chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Almost 37% of

all adults are overweight or obese—with women aged 40-59 at 42% and men aged 40-59 at 38%.

Simply translated, the data show that Americans consume more calories than they actually need and do

not exercise enough to compensate for the excess intake.

Is there scientific evidence that, besides overeating, certain types of food lead to obesity?

Yes. A 2011 Harvard Public Health study showed the long-term effects of food choices over a four-year

period. Potato chips, sugar-sweetened drinks, processed meats, and unprocessed red meat each led to

weight gain of about a pound. The study also found that eating more French fries led to an average gain

of over 3 pounds, while eating more refined grains and sweets or desserts led to about half a pound of

weight gain. By contrast, eating more vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts, and yogurt resulted in

weight reduction over a 4-year period. The study also found that eating more fruits and vegetables

resulted in weight reduction, with fruit resulting in greater loss than vegetables.

What is an easy way to build healthier eating habits? In 2011, the USDA introduced MyPlate, a catchy visual for building healthy meals, replacing the food

pyramid used since the ‘90s. Its recommendations are:

Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.

Switch to skim or 1% milk.

Make at least half your grains whole.

Vary your protein food choices.

Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt.

Eat the right amount of calories for you and when eating out, choose

lower calorie menu options.

How can we alter our diets to eat healthier?

Some simple changes can make a difference.

• Add berries or bananas on wholegrain cereal or oatmeal.

• Order a green salad instead of fries. Request fat-free or low-fat dressing “on the side,” and then

use only half of it.

• Drink water, fat-free or low-fat milk instead of regular soda or other sweetened drinks.

• Flavor your food with herbs and spices, instead of salt.

• Purchase fat-free or low-fat mayo, sour cream, and salad dressings.

• Choose fruit for a snack or dessert.

• Grill, steam, or bake food.

• Avoid eating late at night.

• Select lean cuts of meats, such as white meat chicken, lean ground turkey, or fish.

• When eating out, order an appetizer for your meal or share a main course.

• Use smaller plates and do not serve or offer second helpings.

For additional information from the National Institutes of Health, see Tips for Eating Right; Tipsheet:

Eating Healthy When Dining Out; and a Calorie/Physical Activity Planner for weight reduction.

Our congratulations go out to LAUSD Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Michelle King, who was awarded

a doctorate in education last week from the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern

California. Dr. King, who graduated from Palisades High School and worked her way up through the

ranks in the District, is truly a lifelong learner. Board President Steve Zimmer noted that she “…is an

outstanding role model for the entire L.A. Unified family. Through her knowledge, leadership,

dedication, and resiliency, she demonstrates every day that education is the key to success.”

In 2016, 186

th Street Elementary School (Marcia Reed, Principal) was honored as a California Gold

Ribbon School and a Title 1 Academic Achievement School, and its principal, Marcia Reed? Well, she

has had a pretty busy year. She was named things. Ms. Reed was named Grand Marshal of the Martin

Luther King, Jr. Day Parade for the city of Gardena, and she was selected as a California National

Distinguished Principal. And she did things. Ms. Reed taught liberal studies at California State

University, Dominguez Hills, and she gave the keynote address at the Toyama University Global

Summit in Toyama, Japan. Speaking of Japan, the Chairman of the Board for the Toyota Corporation,

Takeshi Uchiyamada, presented Marcia Reed with the Community Leadership Award for Building the

Next Generation of Engineers.

It has been an extraordinary year for an extraordinary educator, but the

year is not over. On May 17, 2017, at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Los

Angeles, Marcia Reed received still another honor, one of which she is

particularly proud—the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles

(AALA) Presidential Award. “The Presidential Award isn’t an annual

award, and when it is given, it’s typically a surprise,” AALA President

Juan Flecha explained. “This year, however, there could be no surprise;

Ms. Reed represents principals and site front-line managers in such an

exemplary fashion that, frankly, it would have been inconceivable not to

select her for the award.” After hearing she had been selected for the

AALA Presidential Award, Ms. Reed summarized her year. “OMG, the

National Distinguished Principal Award has developed a life of its

own. This has been an unbelievable year! I am so grateful for all the accolades, honors, and

recognition. I sincerely realize that these honors are a result of walking with greatness, talking with

greatness, and working with greatness. I live and work with America's best family and best educators!”

ROSTERING STAFF FOR EVALUATION IN 2017-2018

Administrators are asked to please indicate in the My Professional Growth System (MyPGS) platform

by Friday, June 2, 2017, which staff members (classroom teachers, instructional coaches, coordinators,

assistant principals) you plan to evaluate in 2017-2018 using the Educator Development and Support

processes. Selected staff have been automatically rostered (i.e., 1st year probationary staff, staff who

received a BSE in the previous year, etc.). Click here to view the memo that was sent to principals. The

memo includes additional information and direct links to resources. Principals can modify their rosters

upon return to school in the fall, but available roster information will be used to invite teachers to

attend EDST101 and assistant principals to attend EDSSL101.

Beginning in 2017-2018, school-based instructional coaches and coordinators (nonclassroom teachers)

will be eligible for evaluation using EDS. These nonclassroom teachers will receive more information

about available online training. Resources for administrators will soon be available in MyPGS. Click

here to view a list of FAQs. For questions, please contact your Teaching and Learning Coordinator or
