Professional Learning Community Forums
This year there is something new at Julian for parents: Professional Learning Community Forums! I think I talked to you about these at our monthly meetings, but if not, they are meetings grouped around specific topics in our school. They occur every five weeks in Murrieta at the meeting center (and sometimes in San Diego). While this is our staff meeting and the room is filled with EF’s, we are aware that parents are doing the bulk of the teaching and need support. For that reason, the 1:10–2:00 time frame has been opened to you. Sessions have included: educational technology, student motivation, personalized education, an art project a day, keys to success for math, direct instruction for struggling readers. The leadership team at Julian is interested in your reflections on these sessions and is conducting a survey to get your views. You can find it on the school web site. In what areas do you need help? This is your chance to have a voice. Speak up!
